248 A HISTORY OP THE PEBCHERON HOESE 



imported in 1881, was another extra good mare that 

 did well for Mr. Dunham. One of her colts, Wolford 

 2274, foaled in 1883, was sold as a three-year-old 

 for $1,700; another, Bancroft 3367, foaled in 1884, 

 was sold as a four-year-old for $2,000. She too was 

 a regular producer, raising 9 foals in 12 years, 5 

 of which were fillies; all her foals except the last 

 one were by Brilliant 1271 and all were of more than 

 average value. One of Constance's daughters, Ei- 

 vonia 2213, was in a group of 15 mares sold in 1885 

 to E. A. Hitchcock & W. B. Collier of St. Louis for 

 $14,400. Linda 2751 (1521), imported in 1883, was 

 another profitable mare. Her first colt, Bassanio 

 4339, sired by Brilliant 1271 and foaled in 1885, was 

 sold as a two-year-old for $1,400. She continued to 

 breed with regularity till 1898, producing 10 colts 

 in 14 years, all above the average. Six were stal-. 

 lions and 4 were mares. Faustine 1314 (1431) was 

 another excellent show mare and her colts though 

 few were good. She was about 16 hands high, 

 weighed 1,700 pounds, and although a failure at 

 first because she did not raise a colt from 1881 to 

 1884, she later produced exceptionally good ones: 

 Barcino 4341, foaled 1885, was sold as a yearling for 

 $1,000, and her next, Brastin 5689, foaled in 1886, 

 brought $1,200 as a two-year-old. Both were by 

 Brilliant 1271. She raised but 6 colts in 16 years, 

 however, and so cannot be considered a profitable 

 matron. 



Peerless 744, a medium-sized, symmetrical brood 

 mare, raised 3 colts for Mr. Dunham and was then
