three years in succession and his colts

among the best campaigners in the state
but for the greater part of his life was

many prizes. He was remarkably well
preserved until the last and last fall at

Der of the family
Horsemen in Bangor and in Maine gem
orally will regret to learn of the acci-
dent which befell f. Fl. Greelys famous
stallion. Columbo. Friday morning while
being driven on Main street for exercise.
The mishap, which will ruin this we'll
known stallion for track work, occurred
in front of the Bangor House stables.
An electric car came up behind Coum-
bo. who jumped as was usually his Gus
tom when car approached and in doing
that one of his hind feet struck his right
forward leg, breaking anG shivering it
at the ankle. The stallion was taken
into the Bangor House stables and later
| removed to Maplewood for treatment by
| Dr. Murch. While it is not expected that
| the stallion will have to be killed, the ac-
cident certainly put ar end to any fur
| ther track work by him. Columbo will,
| in all probability continue to be used as
a sire, but the accident may affect his
| worth as an advertisement for breeding
purposes. Columbo was one of the best
| known sires in this section of the coun-
| ty, and there are few young stations
| anywhere that have the blue blood in
their veins that he has. He was sired
| by Bingen. and his dam was by Allerton
| two of the best known sires, known in
| the annals of turfdom. Coumbo has been
| tracked very little and is best known as
| a sire. Although yOungster, he has Sc
| cured some promising colts. According
| to a we'll known horSeman, Columbo has
| been worth $1,000 a season as sire
which would bring his value up to quite a
figure.-Bangor Commercial.
