C. J. Hamlin's standard in breeding the trotter has 

 been "the highest form, the handsomest horse, combined 

 with a level brain and the greatest flight of trotting 

 speed." Those who have seen the peerless Belle Hamlin, 

 the beautiful Nightingale and others of his breeding, 

 admit that he has, by his determination, his rare judg- 

 ment, his unfaltering tenacity to this fixed purpose — in 

 spite of all the croakings and attacks of the skeptical, and 

 no breeder has been the subject of more bitter criticisms — 

 accomplished what he started out to accomplish, and the 

 Village Farm can point to results in many respects never 

 attained by any other breeding establishment.
