Hamburg, the undisputed champion two-year-
old of this or any other year, won the Excelsior
/ Stakes at Gravesend yesterday In much the
same fashion as he has captured his other en-
gaRements OF late, and there was a thrill OF
sympathy when tho great colt pulled up and
cnme back to tho post nodding and showing
lameness. Tho colts owner. John e. Madden.
had announced before sending the wonderfnlc colt
to tho post that whether he won or lost, 1t would
be his last race this season. Hamburg did
not appear until late in the season, and he has
only been beaten four times-once by Bowling
Brook al Sheepshcad, once by Archduke at

Handball, Previous, and Easter Gift opposed
HAMBURG at equal weights for the Excelsior
Stakes, Madden's champion going to tho post at 8

as Hamburg's recent races have been. Taral let
him march to tho front and then it was all over.
Easter Gift and Previous ran Tapped into the
stretch, where Doggett moved up on the outside
with Handball. Hamburg won galloping, and
tho real struggle was for second place. Hand
ball, in q hard fight, beat Easter Gift q
neck. Previous was beaten half q length for
third place. Hamburg pulled up somewhat
lame and walked away a trifle sore when
Taral dismounted. The racing public will
eagerly await Hamburg's first race in 1893. for
