It will be seen that there are a lot of good reasons why 

 Lee Axworthy, of all the champion trotting stallions, is 

 the best as a sire as well as in the speed department. He 

 is the last of eighteen champions, the first of which made 

 his record more than sixty years ago and he is the best. 

 It was indeed a body blow to the breeding interests when 

 he died. 



Hummer was a most consistent sire of speed in both 

 trotters and pacers, most of them being in the 2 mins. 

 10 sees. list. His famous son, George Hummer, record 

 2 mins. 20 sees., was imported to this country in 1892. 

 Among his progeny there is the stallion King Hummer, 

 whose mile record is 2 mins. 17 sees.
