IMPORTED CATTLE. In the year 1849, I selected in England and imported thence, seven Short Horns for J. M. Sherwood, J. F. Sheafe and myself. As three of them were shown, and won prizes at the N. Y. State Agricultural Society's show at Syracuse, in September last, and as portraits of two of these imported animals will embellish the present volume of Transactions of the Society, I deem it proper to give some account of them. Their pedigrees are as follows; the figures referring to the Herd Book, in which the bulls are registered and numbered: Red Rose, 2d, red in color, calved 1816, bred by Mr. John Stephenson, of Wolviston, Durham, Eng.; got by Napier (6,238), dam Tuberose by South Durham (5,281), grandam Rose Ann by Bellerophon (3,119), great grandam Rosette, by Belvedere (1,706),-Red Rose by Waterloo (2,816),-Moss Rose by Baron (58),-Angelina by Phenomenon (491),-Anna Boleyne by, Favorite (252),-Princess by Favorite.

Tripes was bred in 1748 by Mr. Pickering of Foxton, out of a cow which he bought in 1729, when a calf, of Mr. Stephenson of Ketton. The female ancestors of Tripes had been bred by and in the possession of Mr. Stephenson and his father back to 1684, in which year Mr. Stephenson of Acklam, Yorkshire, bought his first cow of the tribe from the Aislabie family of Aislabie, in Durham.
