MR. WALTER DUN'S IMPORTATIONS. 179 



numerously found in many of the good herds of Kentucky, Ohio, and 

 other States. 



Although later in point of time the efforts of Mr. Dun did not 

 cease with the importation of 1833. Breaking through the chrono- 

 logical order of dates, in order to complete his introduction of Short- 

 horn stock to America, we follow out his transactions. 



In the year 1836 Mr. Dun in connection with Mr. Samuel Smith, 

 of Fayette county, Ky. (son of Mr. William Smith, who was con- 

 nected with the Kentucky importations of 1817, previously men- 

 tioned), sent another order to England for Short-horns. In compliance 

 with the order the bulls George (2059), Comet, 356 (1854), and bull 

 calf Otley (4632), together with the cows Adelaide, by Magnum 

 Bonum (2243), Beauty of Wharfdale, by Brutus (1752), Jewess, and 

 Mary Ann (dam of Otley), by Middlesbro (1234), arrived in Ken- 

 tucky. These animals were also selected in England by Mr. Douglass, 

 before mentioned. They were placed on the separate farms of the 

 proprietors and successfully bred. 



In the year 1838 Mr. Dun on his own account made another im- 

 portation, consisting of the cows Premium, by Maximus (2284), with 

 her bull calf Otho, 794, and Young Charlotte, by Thorp (2757), with 

 her bull calf Tarick, 1022. These animals did not arrive in Ken- 

 tucky until the fall of the year, after the death of Mr. Dun, which 

 occurred August 4, 1838. 



Mr. Smith, the partner of Mr. Dun, had died a few months before 

 the latter gentleman's death occurred. His entire herd was sold at 

 public auction a few months afterwards, and the joint remaining stock 

 of the two were sold with them under the orders of their several 

 executors, September n, 1838. The list of the partnership animals, 

 their purchasers and prices, were as follows :
