The Utica Observer contains the fol-
lowing reference to the above sale =
The sale of Hon. Samuel Campbell's
unequalled herd of thoroughbred short
horn cattle, which took place at New
York Mills, two miles from Utica, will
attract attention and provoke discussion
throughout the world. It was the most
important sale of the kind ever held.
1t drew hither a number of English
stock-breeders and numerous represen-
tatives from Kentucky, Pennsylvania
and other States, and also from the
Dominion of Canada. The prices real
lied We're exceptionally high. The sum
of $4,000 was paid for one cow-the
eighth Duchess of Geneva-by Mr.. P.
IIlRIuHu. lDG
call of this COW was sold to Mr.. Alex
ander, of Kentucky, for $27, 900. These
figures seem fabulous, but they were
paid by men who counted the cost
before they made the bids. In England
it is impossible to secure any thorough
bred short horns not because there
are none of the pure blood Duchess
breed in the kingdom--as foolish con-
temporary suggests because the
owners will not part with them for love
or money. There has not been a sale
of short horns in England for twenty
years /; there is not likely to be such
sale for an hundred years to come.
The London Field, the representative
journal of the stock raisers in Great
Britain, attempted to dissuade the
English purchasers from attending the
Cambell sale, arguing that cattle of
equal excellence could be seen in Eng
land. But it is one thing to see them
and another thing to own them. and
several enterprising Englishmen, who
the difference, were here to
make purchases. y.
