to Oaklawn and had her bred to Brilliant 1271. To 

 this mating she produced in 1887 a very good colt 

 recorded as Brilliant A. 9998 and extensively used at 

 a later date. 



La Force apparently did as much good as any 

 horse used at this time. About 16.2 hands high, he 

 weighed around 1,800 pounds and was extremely 

 handsome, round-bodied, and smoothly turned. He 

 was solid black in color. Bernadotte was a compact 

 horse, but hardly as blocky and massve as La Force. 

 He left some excellent colts, but on account of his 

 close relationship to most of Dr. Winter's mares he 

 was not available for general use. 



Aimee 520 was one of the best brood mares, and 

 an unusually prolific one. She raised 14 colts in 17 

 years, beginning when she was 3 years of age. Two 

 of her daughters, Olga 21851 and Prudance 21853, 

 were also regular producers, one raising 7 and the 

 other 8 colts in 9 years, showing that the tendency to 

 regular reproduction is inherited in some instances 

 at least. Aimee made her record while in Dr. Win- 

 ter's ownership, and her daughters made theirs while 

 owned by John C. Baker. Florence 2403 was another 

 good brood mare, long-lived and a regular breeder, 

 Jeanne 560 was another of the same kind; her colts 

 were exceptionally good, the first being Bernadotte. 

 Julie 568, Jeanne's second colt, was one of the doc- 

 tor's best brood mares, raising 11 colts in 13 years. 



While Edgewood Farm exhibited to some extent 

 at local shows, not much showing was done and the 

 larger fairs do not reveal a record of winnings by
