ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE D'sPATcH.l
LEXINGTON, KY, November There has
been two attempts to hold trotting meetings in
Kentucky this week-one at Danville and one
at Cynthiana, but the weather was SO bad
neither one was much of a success. Kentucky
breeders and fanciers have not been idle, how
ever, for the field has been full OF buyers, and
many important transactions have been made.
On the authority of gentleman closely con-
nected with Brasfield & Upton stated some
time ago that the great star Route Judge Mon
roe Salisbury. of California, had placed large
sum of money in the firms hands tor the pur-
pose of huyng a lot of choice youngsters and
brood mares for the California Judge. The
publication caused Mr.. Upton to grow very in
dgnant, and without waiting for me TO make a
correction published in the kentucky Stock
Fdjnl the following card:
The report published Monday in the leading
daily papers of the country that we (Brasheld
u TIpton) have been acting the present season
for Mr.. Monroe Salisbury, of California, is falls
and without a word Of truth for its foundation.
As such sensational reports especially when
untrue, are calculated TO bring disrepute to tie
horse business, many believing they are con-
cocted to advertise some firm, We take this
method of denying this story i'll toto. We have
never had single dollar of Mr.. SaliSDury's
money in our hands or to our credit; nave
never had an order to make apurchase for him,
and during 1890 we have done not one dollars
worth of business with residents of California.
In fact. we regret to say that we never heard OF
the SS0,000 or even the $4,000. till we saw
1t in print, and want the public to
know that the report is tissue OF
lies. probably put together to bull the
market. Respectfully. Upton & Brasneld." 1t
now transpires that my informant was really
mistaken only i'll the name of the man fur-
nishing the money. 1t WAS Marcus DAILY, OF
Montana, that was putting up the funds, and 4
hor r,.f ~, 6rt,, mad fnld mi he
other day that they had spent nearly 100000 of
the Montana Copper Kings money for gilt
edged trotters, and that last Mondays Ship
ment was only portion of those bought Mr..
Daly's stock remaining in Kentucky consists
mostly of brood mares. and they will be kept
here for breeding purposes. 1t is said Bras
field & Upton have showed excellent judg-
ment in their selections, and, as a consequence.
Mr.. DAILY has one of the best breed lot of good
individuals ever gotten together in this State.
In view or these facts. it can readily be seen
why Brastield Upton were so anxious to cor
rect the impression that they were buying for
wealthy Westerner. for. had Kentucky sellers
known the real truth, prices would have been
sprung on Mr.. Days agents, aud the market
bulled, much to theii. disadvantage"
