easily overestimated. Many of the most 

 popular favorites of the show ring of to- 

 day trace back four to six generations to 

 this great sire. How shall we measure 

 his greatness? By the opinions of men 

 as influenced by the character of his de- 

 scendants. These, in this day, it may be 

 fairly said, designate Black Knight "the 

 greatest Angus bull America has pro- 

 duced."
