A HISTORY OF SHORT-HORN CATTLE. 



Warfield states that these cattle were sold to 

 Messrs. Shirley & Birch of Louisville, Ky. In 

 1840 Mr. Wait made another importation, con- 

 sisting of the two bulls, Macadam 1814 and 

 Anty (3021), and eight cows, Ellen Long, by 

 Beaumont (3115); Hebe, by a son of High- 

 flyer (2122); Victoria (or White Rose), by 

 Matchem 4th; Pink, by Belvedere 2cl (3127); 

 Flora, by Imperial (2151); Splendour, bred by

 York in 1839. Daisy passed into the possession 

 of the Shakers of Kentucky. Messrs. Wait & 

 Bagg also imported about this same time the 

 roan bull Albion (2971), bred by E. Lawson and 

 sired by Charles (3343). The pedigrees of some 

 of these cattle seem to have been perfect and

 errors and blunders have been found in the ped- 

 igrees of the cattle imported by S. Wait that it 

 is deemed necessary to state that they should 

 be examined with great care." 



In 1837 the bull Grosvenor (3946), tracing to 

 a Booth foundation, was imported for Mr. Mi-

 heifer Strawberry, by Magnum Bonum, for 

 Messrs. R. Jackson and John Hodgson; presum-
