BREEDERS WILL MISS AxrErr.

The death OF the trotting stallion Axtell at
the Warren Park Stock Farm near Terre Haute
Ind. last week from spasmodic collie will be a
severe loss to the breeders OF light harness
horses. Axtell, when three-year-old, trotted a
mile IN PIP, at Terre Haute. on October IL
1889, breaking the three-year-old record Of
2:13A. held by the California filly sunol, and
also Maxey Cobb's record Of 2:13A for stations
Of all ages The first quarter was covered in
% seconds. the half in 1:051a. the three-quarters
in 1924 and the full mile in PIP. The track
was seven feet more than mile by official sur
vey. After the race the horse was sold to a
syndicate. made up OF w. P. Ijams Terre Haute;
A F. Brush, Detroit; Colonel J. w. Conley,
Chicago, ana #. T. Moran, Detroit, for S105, 900.
The syndicate at once received an offer OF S15-
600 profit for the horse. It was, however, re-
fused and the stallion sent to the stud. His
get have been prominent on the trotting turf.
