290 A HISTORY OF SHORTHORNS IN KANSAS 



a bull so descended. A study of the ancestry of 

 Mr. Sayre's cattle reveals the fact that I am 

 correct in making the foregoing statement. 



The first bull used was Lopez 231291. His sire 

 was Lord Mayor 112717, a son of Baron Laven- 

 der 2d, the most wonderful bull ever produced at 

 Linwood and imp. Lady of the Meadow, one of 

 the best breeding cows in the Linwood herd. His 

 grandsire was imp. Baron Victor, the bull that 

 established Cruickshank prestige in America.- 

 The dam of Lopez was by Vanquish by Galahad 

 the sire of Gallant Knight, the state's greatest 

 sire of prize winners, and her sire was imp. Mas- 

 ter of the Rolls, sire of Master of the Grove, 

 American Royal and International grand cham- 

 pions. Another bull used was Victor Chief, also 

 out of a Gallant Knight cow. His sire was Dicta- 

 tor by Norfolk, a bull said by B. O. Cowan to have 

 been second only to imp. Scottish Lord. An own 

 sister to Dictator, Forest Daisy 2d, was the dam 

 of New Year's Delight, grand champion every- 

 where west of the Mississippi and junior cham- 

 pion at the International. Norfolk, by the way, 

 was by Prince Royal, son of imp. Princess Alice, 

 greatest American cow of her day. Another bull 

 was Hampton Crown by Hampton's Best, prob- 

 ably the best son of imp. Merry Hampton. 



The bulls now in use are Jolly Dale and Glen- 

 dale, both by Maxwalton Rosedale, full brother 

 to Whitehall Rosedale, the grand champion bull
