204 HISTORY OF THE SHORT-HORNS. 



About the year 1853 or '54, the late Thomas Richardson, an Irish 

 merchant in New York city, imported several good Short-horns, with 

 various other stock, among which were the bull Duke of Cambridge, 

 1469 (12746), and cows Bijou, by Crown Prince (10087); Fanella, by 

 Baron Warlaby (7813); Fanny Warlaby, by Baron Warlaby (7813); 

 Harmony, by Crown Prince (10087); Laura, by Hector (13002); 

 Rachel, by Hopewell (10332), and perhaps some others, which he 

 kept on his farm at Westchester. Several of them were recorded in 

 the American Herd Book. Mr. Richardson was a spirited and liberal 

 breeder. His herd was sold a short time previous to his death, which 

 occurred a few years after making his importation. 



In the year 1854, the Society of Shakers, Pleasant Hill, Ky., im- 

 ported the bull Duke of Cambridge, 447. They had previously, in 

 1840; in connection with the great statesman, Henry Clay, bought for 

 $1,000, the bull Orozimbo, 786, imported by Mr. Shepherd, of Vir- 

 ginia, in the year 1834. This bull the Shakers bred in their extensive 

 herd. In 1840 they also bought 8 cows, imported by Mr. Gambel, 

 at New Orleans, La. Among them were Daisy, by Barnaby (1678), 

 and Splendor, by Symmetry (2723). The names of the six other 

 cows are not given. 



In 1854, Messrs. Wilson and Searight, imported from Ireland into 

 Ohio, the bull Lord Eglinton, 1795 ; Deceiver, 401 (11340), and pos- 

 sibly another or two bulls, together with some cows, among which 

 were White Rose, by Sir Robert Peel (9658) ; Laura, by Lord Clar- 

 endon (10434); Lady Gage, by Deceiver (11340), and some others. 



In the year 1854, the Society of Shakers, at Union Village, Warren 

 county, Ohio, imported, chiefly from the herd of James Douglass, of 

 Scotland, 12 Short-horns 6 bulls (including Duke of Cambridge,
