ROBERT COLLING'S SALE. 77 



of his best animals were imparted to their herds, since become 

 famous. Like his brother Charles, wherever he had found a well-

 sible, he also availed himself, by purchase, of her merits. 



As with the sale of Charles in 1810, the widely advertised first sale

 attendance of the most spirited breeders of England. It took place 

 on the 2 pth and 3oth days of September. The following account of
