SUCCESSIVE IMPORTATIONS. 195 



In some year, shortly previous to 1848, a Mr. Oliver, of Westchester 

 county, N. Y., imported the bull Marius, 684, bred by Earl Spencer, 

 England. He was exhibited at the New York State Agricultural 

 Show, in Buffalo, 1848, by Colonel L. G. Morris, and there sold to 

 Mr. David Harrold, of South Charleston, Clark county, Ohio, into 

 which State he went and did good service for some years. Our 

 impression is that one or two heifers were brought out with the bull, 

 but of the fact we have no particular account. 



About the year 1851 or '52, Mr. Lorillard Spencer, of New York, im- 

 ported the young bull Augustus, 225 (1125), bred by G. D. Trotter, 

 Middlesex, Eng. ; Duke of Atholl, 44 (10150), bred by Thos. Bates; 

 and Woldsman, 1108 (11056), bred by Mr. Topham, Spilsby, Eng., 

 and the heifers Faraway, by 3d Duke of Oxford (9047) ; Jean, by 

 Chevalier (10050); Sonsie 8th, by 2d Cleveland Lad (3408), and 

 possibly one or two others. . These he bred for a few years with some 

 others acquired at home, when he finally disposed of his herd, and 

 gave up further Short-horn breeding. 



In the month of May, 1850, the sale of the late Mr. Bates' herd 

 was held in England, by his executors, as related in a previous chapter, 

 at which Messrs. Morris and Becar, of New York, were present, and 

 bought three Oxford cows and heifers, viz. : Oxford 5th, by Duke of 

 Northumberland (1940); Oxford 6th, by 2d Duke of Northumber- 

 land (3646); Oxford 1 3th, by 3d Duke of York (10166). Of these, 

 Oxford 5th and loth, were taken by Col. Morris, and Oxford i3th by 

 Mr. Becar. Col. Morris also bought of another party the bull Balco, 

 227 (9918), bred by Mr. Bates. 



These gentlemen also purchased of another party in England, the 

 bull Romeo (13619) on joint account. 



Col. Morris further purchased of various others the bulls Marquis 

 of Carrabas (11789); The Lord of Eryholme (12205), an d Billy Pitt 

 (9967) ; also the cows Beauty of Brawith, by Emperor (6973) ; Bloom, 

 by Sir Leonard (10827); and Romelia, by Flageolet (9130). 



Mr. Becar also bought of other parties the cows Actress, by Hark- 

 away (9184); Apricot, by 3d Duke of York (10166); Garland, by 

 Pestalozzi (10603); Lady Barrington i2th, by 4th Duke of York 

 (10167); an d Lady Booth, by Chilton (10054). These animals were 

 all shipped to America, where they were established on the farms of 

 their respective owners, and most, if not all the females bred success- 

 fully, producing a numerous progeny. 



At the great Tortworth Court sale of the herd of the late Earl 

 Ducie, in the year 1853, noticed in a preceding chapter, Messrs.
