OUR TWENTY LEADING SIRES. Meddler is now beyond dispute the leading sire of tills country for the year 1900, It being practically impossible for the progeny of any other- stallion to even closely approach the combined winnings of his sons and daughters. Voter is second solely because of the winnings of his two excellent two-year-old sons Ballot and Electioneer, and Flllgranes third is based almost exclusively on the earnings of Accountant. The two sires would make a sorry showing but for these three superior representatives. Hamburg, Watercress and Hastings come next in order with many representatives contributing to, the totals standing to their credit.
