The Anaconda standard., 1895-05-24
ANACONDA'S FLYERS
Horses Stabbed at the Race Course in
This City.
LOCAL MEETING SUGGESTED
The Track is in Elegant Condition
and Horsemen Arc Anxious
to Test It-Callopers and
Trotters in Trim.

Gallopers and trotters, % In number
are stabbed, and exercised every day on
the track at the grounds of the Anaconda
Racing association in this city. A finer
string of horses it would be hard to find
anywhere in Montana. Certain it Is that
there is no better track in the state and
the quarters are admirably arranged for
the comfort of the equine guests and
their keepers. The mile track which was
raised and leveled last fall is now in
prime condition. The recent rains have
made 1t little soft at present, but vita a
few days of sunshine 1t would be made
perfect. The abandonment of the regu-
lar racing meet is generally regretted by
the horsemen, though they admit the inn
practicability of holding the races this
year. Yet they are yearning for an op-
portunity to work the flyers over the
course. Most of them are anxious to see.
at least a local meeting held, if not
longer than three days and tue scheme
is now under favorable consideration
by men who will carry it to a successful
termination II they undertake the ven-
ture. Enough horses of local fame can
be secured to fill a good list of entries and
these animals would give an interest to
the meeting that would be lacking if the
regular circuit event were held. They
would go, and would go hard, and from
matched that the races would be very ex-
citing. This, too, would give an opportu-
nifty TO the owners now disputing as to the
merits of their favorites, for deciding pos-
itively which is the fastest horse. At this
time IL seems very likely that such a meet
ing will be arranged for in July or August.
A handsome bunch of thoroughbreds
was brought over from Mr.. Daly's Hamil-
ton stables Wednesday and unloaded yes
terday morning. They are cared for by p.
Nd. Flugstad and were none the worse for
their journey yesterday afternoon, and
were very contented in their new quarters.
Whimple, Flatsom, Querist and Lolatta
are all trotters and beautiful intelligent
animals.
Silver King, Baths, Julia Marlowe.
Battue, Evening Song, Glare, Protest
and Fairchild are runners. With the ex-
ception of Silver King, we'll known
favorlte, the rest of the bunch are 2-year-
olds, hllies and geldinRs. They are bays
and sorrels, ever one clean limbed, slen-
der legged and marked by the distin-
gushing characteristics of the horses
born in the purple.
Charlie Shadduck, who has looked after
the driving park ever since it was opened,
has had G.. w. Reynolds pretty team for
some weeks under his supervision. Mr.. |
Reynolds has brought Annie Rooney |
down town and will enjoy morning spins |
over the road behind her. She is in fine |
form and is one of the speediest mares in |
the city. Her foal and her mate Minnie |
OBrien and her foal, are still AT the |
track.
Mayor w. NJ. Thornton's mare Mishap |
has been turned out on the grass, and is |
in beautiful condition.
Mr.. Shattuck expects Charlie and Ed. |
Bynum to arrive in a few days with the |
two gallopers they bought recently of |
Mosby, Ginger and Borus. Herdsman,
j. Is. Losee's horse, also will soon be es-
tablished in this city.
Sam Hanley is in charge of seven fast
ones. They are all doing well, eating reg
ularly and have glossy coats, indicating
excellent care. None have been worked
more than to take their daily exercise.
Billy D., owned by DIR. Macdonald of
Butte, has spent the winter here and is in
fine condition. Ruby Messenger, the lit
tie mare PAGER, owned by w. b. George
Of Billings; Orphan Dick. John McMa-
hons trotter from Deer Lodge; Ida, Ed
little mare; Industry. owned
by j. b. Losee; and Allie NJ, a stallion
and trotter, are the others in the bunch.
MIR. Hanley also owns Bud L., a celding
frotter who is kept by him at the track.
Frank Howard has a crack sprinter in
Eureka, and a 2-year-old which he calls
both of them just spelling for
\ race, and are in fine trim.
Minnie, marc owned by Singleton &
Jordan. is as slick and glossy as a new
\ new dollar. She is ready for a run at a
min ute's notice.
There are other horses known to be
able ITO go some" that are kept by their
,wners privately about town. 1t is doubt
ul II any city in the Northwest has as
many thoroughbreds and flyers as Ana
conda.
