sire of producing brood mares. This line has been notable 

 for the production of campaigners and race horses rather 

 than for colt trotters, although Volunteer ranks it among 

 Hambletonian 10's sons, with ten sires and sixteen per- 

 formers. Goldsmith Maid, 2 : 16f , of this strain, the 

 champion trotter in 1871-72, and again in 1874, when she 

 reduced her record to 2 : 14, has been conceded to be the 

 greatest campaigner of any time. 



(4) Happy Medium, ranks seventh among Hamble- 

 tonian 10's sons, with two sires and six performers. 



(5) Dictator. In the production of colt trotters, the 

 writer, Volunteer, in reference already given, places Dictator 

 fourth as his rank among the sons of Hambletonian 10, 

 with six sires and sixteen performers. 



(6) Strathmore. This line ranks very high in producing 

 brood mares. 



Among other noted sons of Hambletonian 10 are Egbert, 

 Aberdeen, Harold (sire of Maud S, 2 : 08f, champion

 2 : 08}, champion stallion in 1892) ; Volunteer (sire of 

 St. Julien, 2:11}, champion trotter in 1880); Jay 

 Gould, champion stallion in 1871-2. The Hambletonian 

 family as a whole is given first place by Volunteer for 

 siring colt trotters, with 106 sires of 223 performers to its 

 credit.

 line is the purity of the trotting gait, for there are but few 

 pacers among them. 



(2) Mambrino Patchen. This line has a reputation, to
