IMPORTATIONS. 177 



the bull Adino, and the cows Annie, Bessie in calf 1870 

 with Sea King, and Georgie, in calf with the heifer 

 Sea Bird. Annie was transferred to D. Magone, Jr., 

 while Georgie and Sea Bird went to Sturtevant Bros. 



Having perused the entire correspondence between 

 Mr. Morgan and his agent abroad, we think there is 

 little doubt but that these importations were of the 

 best stock in Scotland ; and to the rivalry induced 

 by this first importation may be ascribed the excep- 

 tional quality of the importations of this and the 

 following years. 



In September, 1870, Thomas Thompson & Son, of 

 Williamsburg, P. O., brought over an importation of 

 eight, selected personally. These were the two-year- 

 old bull Crown Prince, and the yearling bull Highland 

 Chief, the cow Diamond in calf with Hansom, and 

 the heifers, Annie in calf with Queen of Beauty, Ras- 

 sie 2d in calf with Rose of Carron, Rassie 3d in calf 

 with Queen of Scots, and the calves Duchess and 

 Bonnie Jean. 92 



In October, 1870, Mr. Thomas Paterson, of Gou- 

 verneur, N. Y. , imported per steamship " Sweden," 

 at Quebec, a pair of yearlings, Lord Raglan and 

 Beauty. 



In the same vessel, at the same time, Mr. Andrew 

 Allan, of Montreal, brought over the two-year-old 

 bull Boydstone, and the cows Susan, Fleckie, Rogers, 

 and Kate. 



In June, 1871, per steamships " European " and
