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

 Lee Axworthy, of all the champion trotting staUions, 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 yeai"S ago — and he is the best. 

 It was indeed a body blow to the breeding interests w^hen 

 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.
