But two or three animals bought by an Australian gentleman were still in the keeping of Mr.Webb's son, awaiting arrangements for their transportation.

One of these, a beautiful heifer of fourteen months, was purchased at the winding-up sale, for 225 guineas.

It was called the "Drawing-room Rose," from this circumstance, as I afterwards learned.

When it was first dropped by the dam, Mr.Webb was confined to the house by indisposition.

But he had such a desire to see this new accession to his bovine family, that he directed it to be brought into the drawing-room for that purpose.
