HAMBURG THIRD IN THE SIRE LIST. Hamburg, the twelve-year old son of Hanover and Lady Reel, daughter of Fellowcraft and Mannie e Urey the dam of Himyar, is third in the stallion n list for 1906. Had Burgomaster been able to fill U all of his engagements last year it is altogether r likely that Hamburg would have headed the list as lie Jid 1b lJOO, lor Burgomaster made It clear r 1 1 1 , 1 » i , 1 r t , t , a i. S that he was Accountants master when they met in ai any the Belmont Stakes. But that is a case of "its al any and anils." :" Hamburg was bred by Conrad J. Baright, who in or OT 1MB was the owner of Klmendorf Stud. John E. of of Madden bought Jiamburg as a yearling and raced « him as a I wo-ear old. selling him at the end of season of lv.17 to Mhivus Daly for .l..00. As a * three year-old in 1898, be carried the colors of Mr. in in Daly and went into the stud at his Bitter Hoot nor W Kami in Montana in the spring of IS!*. After the " so death of Mr. Daly the Bitter Boot Stud was dis- si neratd and William C. Whitney lioitght Hamburg ji at the auction for M9,999. After Mr. Whitie-vs ai death his I.a Belle Stud was sold and at Madison Bl Squire Harden in October. l.Mil. the great horse was knocked down to Harry layne Whittles for 179,990, W the highest price ever paid for a native bred stallion in !■ in America. Hamburg is now at Harry layne at Whitneys Braohdale Stud. Bed Bank. N. Y. Hamburg was one of Americas best racehorses. e He had sjiecd. stamina and courage and great " ability to carry weight. He was sound in wind P and limb and combined a robust constitution with • or a perfect disposition. I lie distance of a race ■ seemed immaterial to him. He had no particular » fancy in this respect. As a testimonial to his con- ■ a sistency there stands Hie fact that he was never t unplaced. He ran in twenty one races, won sixteen " of them, was second in three and third in two. 1* Sixteen of his starts were made s a l -»-ycir old. in He won twelve of them, was second three times and third once. His total winnings on the turf amounted to M2.M7. The first of his get were * iu sold as yearlings in 1901. There were twelve of ,: them and they brought the Splendid average of s hB.900.
