The W2 American records are a most noteworthy lot. They 

 carry us back by many generations to 41 Belle of Suffolk W2, through 

 611 Topsy, which was transferred from the Wolton to the Stoke herd. 

 Her gr.-dr., 1251 Water Fairy was next in Mr. J. J. Colman's Easton 

 herd. 1943 Winsome, daughter of. Water Fairy by Grey Spot 498, 

 when 2-yr.-old \vas bought at Whitlingham for the Mead and Kim- 

 ball importation of 1882. Romeo 741, which was bought at the same 

 time, covered Winsome, and thus 5740 Minnie was got. Then the 

 next two generations were sired by Commodore 1151, a son of Charles 

 Martel, whose dam, 1133 Rosa P3, was also the dam of Romeo. From 

 this point the stock on both sides of Bessie's pedigree were American 

 bred, with -[17976] Bessie sixth in descent from Winsome. Bessie's 

 record was 5706.2 Ib., fat 267.1 (303). Her progeny's records: 

 [26174] J. D. L. Bessie, 8385.9 Ib., fat 375.46; [31725] J. D. L. Beauty

Of 107 W3 records, those are selected that best illustrate the 

 several lines in which the mating has been diverse. Whitlingham 

 added the best of the Wolton breeding in 1891.
