A GREAT HORSE 



none approached the son of Robert McGregor in game- 

 ness, extreme speed and racing abiHty. It is such ac- 

 compHshments as these that win the admiration of the 

 civiHzed world for the American trotter, and it is ex- 

 tremely doubtful if any horse has ever lived which has 

 such a monumental testimonial to his stamina, courage 

 and endurance. Week in and week out, from July un- 

 til late in September, Cresceus battled against the best 

 horses in the land, and throughout the entire season 

 he never weakened or showed a disposition to shirk 

 any of the duties imposed upon him. He started in 

 twelve races during the season of 1897, ^'^'^^'^ ^^^ ^^ 

 them and closed the season with a record of 2 :ii|.
