OTHER PROMINENT FIGURES OP THE PERIOD 291 



get at the Wisconsin State Fair in 1888, and won in 

 the same class at the International Exposition at 

 Buffalo in 1889. In many respects he was much on 

 the type of Brilliant 1271. He was sired by Eocham- 

 beau (1382), a half-brother to Brilliant 1271, by Bril- 

 liant 1899. The colts sired by Burg were uniform in 

 type, chiefly blacks and grays, and were of the 

 massive draft pattern, although a bit more blocky 

 and low-set than some breeders liked. 



Vigoreux, a massive black sired by Picador 2d, 

 by Picador 1st, was the next sire in rank. Imported 

 by Mr. Dunham, from whom Capt. Pabst obtained 

 him, he was a very good sort, of the rugged, mas- 

 sive pattern. Voltaire, a good gray of the Favori 

 stock, and Prince Jerome, tracing to the same horse 

 through his sire, and out of a daughter of Coco 2d, 

 were also good stock-getters and left some good colts 

 at Wauwatosa Stock Farm. 



Couronne 4440 (1908) was sufficiently good as a 

 brood mare to cause Mr. Pabst to use 3 of her sons 

 to some degree in the stud. They were by Burg. 

 She produced 4 colts in 5 years, every one a stallion 

 of merit. Favorite 4436 (4296), Coquette 4433 (4295) 

 and Julie 4423 (4257) were other good brood mares, 

 producers of colts that were winners at the Wiscon- 

 sin State Fair and that sold at excellent prices. 

 None of them was noted for the number of colts 

 produced, however, the mares being mostly shy 

 breeders. Eustique 5403 (2217) was the only really 

 prolific mare in the lot. Eelatively few mares were 

 sold from this farm in the period under discussion.
