FIRST IMPORTATIONS TO AMERICA. 183 



out in 1823 from the herd of Mr. Champion the 

 bull Washington (1566)* and the cows Conquest 

 and Pansy by Blaize (76). Conquest failed to 

 breed, but Pansy had several daughters by 

 Washington that gave rise to a very noted 

 family of dairy Short-horns, afterward popular 

 throughout New England and the West. 



In 1821 Humphrey Hollis, an Englishman 

 who emigrated to New York, brought out two 

 cows called Hart and Nudd, said to be sired by 

 Collings' Wellington. Their descendants were 

 at one time to be found in New York and Penn- 

 sylvania herds. In 1823 George M. Tibbetts of 

 Troy brought out a red bull called Young Comet 

 2419. In 1828 a Mr. Green of New York im- 

 ported the bull Banquo 1226 and sent him to 

 the State of Maine. About the same date Abi- 

 jah Hammond of Westchester County brought 

 out the cow Old Willey, unpedigreed, several of 

 whose descendants are recorded in the first vol- 

 ume of the American Herd Book. 



In 1822 and succeeding years Mr. Charles 

 Henry Hall, a New York merchant who had 

 previously lived and done business in various 

 European countries, imported a number of 

 Short-horns selected from good English herds, 

 among them the cows Princess, by Lancaster 

 (360), that was bred in 1816 by Robert Colling; 



* Lewis F. Allen lends his name to the statement that Washing-ton lived 

 to be nineteen years* old, doing- service in his eighteenth year.
