914 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



Fortunately for the north Overton Harris had 

 bought Gay Lad 6th before the bull had been started 

 for the Taft ranch. At this show he was as for- 

 tunate with the McCray bull as he had been with 

 Repeater, receiving first in the senior yearling bull 

 class and subsequently the junior bull champion- 

 ship. McCray forged to the front in the get-of-sire 

 class with a quartette by Perfection Fairfax. He 

 also had first in aged cows and the senior female

 At some of the state fairs VanNatta's Margaret had 

 defeated her, and it was a question all through the 

 season as to where the superior merit really reposed. 

 In two-year-old heifers Luce & Moxley scored with 

 Princess R 10th, daughter of Prince Rupert 8th, 

 after a hard battle with McCray 's Lady Fairfax 9th.

 really sensational female developed in Dr. Logan 's 

 Scottish Lassie, by Young Beau Brummel. She was 

 one of the ripest and richest specimens ever seen in

 received not only the junior but the grand cham- 

 pionship of the female classes. Another stunning 

 presentation was that of the Harris Princess twins, 

 daughters of Beau Donald 5th out of a Beau Brum-

 the blue and red ribbons in a strong class. 



At Chicago in December the Bryant bull was not 

 shown, and Prime Lad 9th resumed his old-time 

 position at the head of the senior bulls, McCray win- 

 ning second on Principal 6th and Brock third on
