And these suo added 10 those previously enumerat-
ed made an aggregate of twenty.eight hundred and
fifty dollars.
Mr. Taber commenced by breeding to Backwoods-
man; after two years. he got Earl Of Warwick from
Mr.. Thorne, and the following year he purchased Of
him Higbfyer, for whi;h he paid $500 when four
months old HigbHyer was got by Duke of Glcster,
his dam being Diana Gwynne. Duke Of GlOster was
purchased by Messrs. Morris Becar, at the sale Of
Earl Duce's herd, in 1853 for g. $50 and his sire,
Grand Duke, was purchased the same season in En-.
gland, BY Mr.. jonathan Thorn, for sj,00O-being at
that time the greatest price commanded by any bull
since the sale Of the famous Comet for 900 guineas
in 1910. Hiebfyer's color is blood red, marked in
places with white and on one side be has mach the
same marking as Grand Duke. He was started at
$3.50, but there were bat two persons present willing
10 pay anything for expensive an animal, and when
the auc,ioneers hammer fell at the bid Of sos by
Mr.. j. G. Wood of Mlbury, Mass, we felt no sur
prise but much regret that he could not have realized
better price for his owner. He is well worth 81 900,
and will sooD pay back his first cost TO Mr.. Wood.
Messenger, heavy red bull, by Earl Of Warsick
out of Aurora 3D. the famous mixer and bred by Mr.
Taber, weighed 800 pounds on the lst of May and
apparently had gained up TO the day of sale If the
day had been proptious he would no doubt have
brought $50 but he was sold TO Nath Hsllock OF
Ulster County for 500
Che same money was paid by l.. w. Rathbone OF
Otsego County for Hype, ion, very pretty white
yearlng BULL that had nice pair of horns and was
tolerabe handler. On the DIST Of March he weighed
754 lbs Both March, ~ lbs, and on the 18th April
he had gained to S35 bs being al increase OF II lbs
in less than four weeks.
Gfnseric a red and white Earl Of Warwick calf
out of Autumn, we esteem the best handler OF the
lot of bull calves, and cheap bargain at 800. His
upper line is good and he is web filed in the crops,
quarter deep, flank good, but his brisket is rather
email. He was bought by w. A. White of Duchess
County for $40.
Alo,,c, red yearlng, is larger for bis age than
some others of the herd. He weighed s6S ID on the
Beth March and 9l6 the 18th April His feed
during this time, like that Of the Others was three
quarts Of wheat shorts and little oil meal, with as
much hay as they would eat. He has the Duke spots
on the flank, a full brsket broad, short horn, and
carries out his under line very WELL ID. b. Haght got
him for Gas, fair pnce.
The crowd had by this time got pretty thoroughly
dr.ncbed with alternate showers and drizzling rain,
and the bidding very spritless and reluctant.
Mr. Swift in desperation, took bids OF single dollars,
and even halves but be could not get fair prices for
the stock. 1t is usually the at stock sales that
bidding becomes brisker the end approaches, and
fewer animals remain 10 be sold but on the present
OCCASION the cold searching into ones very marrow,

The thrty-second lot was BuccaReer, a two-yoar
| old, with fine countenance, waxy brown and
nice square build who, after some do-fu competition,
| passed 10 X. Thursby, Of Long Island, for $9o.
Atsla, like his namesake of the royal Hunnish

came lis happy possessor, on bid of So. He was
worth about $50, all told
Controller, a red-roan yearlng, don't fancy
very much. He is poor in t re crops, handles too
loose and his shoulder point not large Struck off to

PleJeian, calved in April, 1853, by Earl of War
wick out of Lizzie traces back to Waistells, Mas
| terman's and the Studley bulls and the dams
| far as Hubback. He is soft handler, has good
ericsson tscuicheon, good tail, thin neck, narrow
shoulders and milk points about him than beef
making. Sold for $65 to Valentine Haock.
Refer went TO John Wolfe Of Duchess County,
and the company then adjourned TO the caf-pens,
where four little nnocents half dissolved by the rain,
were soon disposed of. One of them, ghhyer calf,
was purchased by good old riend John Worth of
Pennsyl vania, at eos. Another, out Of Aurora by
Warwick sold for 81, to N. j. Smith, and the rear
was brought up by two bull calves at $40 and So,
respectively.
We made an estimate of the actual value of the
herd previous to the SAL and find to be % perc
more than the sum realized. The greater part of the
animals will remain ID Duchess County, having been
purchased by neighborng farmers. There is no
doubt bat that # the weather had been prupitous
five or Blk hundred persons would have been present,
and consequently the bidding would have been much
more spirited.
