COWS-IIBERAL PRICES


The .l.,u. i..,,,. sai. vf aIuvtsy COWS eftE
held in this country took place yesterday, at Ia,ter'
sails corner Of Sixth and Thirty ninth street,
together with imported and thoroughbred Ayrshires,
and Shetland and Welsh ponies. AS VIII be seen by
the liz, given below the stock brought very liberal
"war prices" The stock consisted Of twelve pure
Alderney, and three Guernsey COVE, imported last
Fall by Thomas Richardson Of No - Broadway, aud
were the beet lot Of this kind Of stock we have ever
seen together. Then there were four calves dropped
since the arrival Of the cows. Then there were four
very superior Ayrshire cows, imported by William
Watson. and nine which he has bred from previous
imporatons Of this blood, upon lis farm In West
chester County and also three calves. The purity
Of blood, and beauty Of Mr. Watsons Ayrshires, has
been established by exhibitions at the State Fair FOR
several years. And the purity and value OF Mr..
Richardson's Aldernyes is pretty well assured by the
faot that they were selected by the celebrated Fow'
Ter, who supplies thousands Of English gentlemen
with COWS Of this breed Mr. Richardson bus also
established good reputation heretofore 10 an inn
porter Of Aldemyes, and those sold yesterday VIII
add TO that reputation. Though we thought the
prices paid were very liberal Mr. Richardson assures
US that such cows cannot be imported for tue money
that they cost upon the farm in Jersey or Guernsey
twenty guneas each, and freight and charges make
up greater sum than these sod for, TO cay nothing
of keeping them over the Winter.
