In a spacious boxstall built especially for his comfort stood Bellfounder from July to December . In Jol. Jaques having met with severe financial reverses caused by the failure of a com mission house in England to whom he had made heavy shipments of hops purchased the celebrated Ten Hills farm on the banks of the Mystic river within the confines of Charlestown and turned his attention to the breeding of first-class stock.Mr. Jaques became eminent as a breeder of fine cattle and in this respect his reputation was national.
