DAILY OWNS HAMBURG
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-In an interview
Hamburg, and I never meant that a
secret should have been made of the
purchase I paid the price asked for
him. and as far as I can see, that was all
that was necessary. Hamburg will race
next season in my name and my colors
Just as every other race horse have
ever owned has raced. 1 have no fellow
feeling with the people who go into
racing trying to hide their identity, and
it makes no difference to me what others
may have done in such matters. I am
able and willing to pay for good horse
when want one, and the price paid for
Hamburg has not broken me. have
not even the remotest idea of racing
abroad; that / am willing to leave tC
the people who are hunting for notoriety
I owned good race horses before I ever
heard of Hamburg, but hearing of him al
the time when wanted and did not have
such a horse, bought him because
felt that 1 could afford it. did not pay
$50 900 for him either, but the price
did pay I feel that should keep to my
self for tho present. 1t was enough
however, to buy the horse outright"
