The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-02-14


Kentucky. Mr.. Upton is a noted horse
man and is secretary Of the racing as
ISOLATION at Lexington. What Mr.. Tip
toms plans IN connection with tn,
Butte and Anaconda tracks may be are
not definitely known, but il is under
stood that first-class meetings will be
given, and there will be several weeks
OF racing in each place.
1t is not likely that Crescendo. the
great 3-year-old OF Nagiee- Burke s
Pueblo stable, will ever face the start
er again. on Sunday at the Bay Dis
trict track he was so seriously injured
that ever since he has not been able to
stand up. While being walked around
on the extreme outside of the track "a
2-year-old that was being galloped
came swerving along and bumped into
him, knocking him to the ground and
fracturing his collarbone.
Crescendo is now in the hands of a
veterinary surgeon, who is doing every
thing that is possible, and there IS
slight chance that he may be brought
around so as to race in about six
months. Even If he does recover. II is
doubtful whether he viii ever be the
Crcscendo Of old. As a 2-ycar-oId. he
was one of the very best in the country.
running second to ReQuital In the f'u-
turity stakes last autumn. Since then
he has won n great many purses and
several stakes on this coast. lie was
heavily engaged for valuable stakes
both in California and IN tie East. and
his injury, even though he should come
round again. means that his owner will
lose many thousands Of dollars.
There are some horses who seen, 70
have been born unlucky. and Crescen-
