Madison Square Garden was thronged last
night as it was never thronged at horse sale
before. Every seat in the immense amphithea-
tire was occupied. and a fringe of humanity
from ten to forty deep encrcled the little ring
in the centre of the floor, where mighty stations

late Marcus Daily to be sold.
Hamburg the son of Hanover, one OF the best
of Americas race horses. the star of the
sale. He was the first horse sold and after
some spirited bidding he was knocked down to
John E. Madden for w. c. Whitney. The ex-
pected invasion of foreigners who were re-
ported to be anxious to secure the mighty thor
oughbred did not take place, or. if it did they
kept quiet while the representatives of Messrs
Whitney and Haggin had the contest TO them
selves. John Mackey represented Mr. Haggin
and John f. Madden did the bidding for Mr.
Whitney. SingularIy enough. Mr.. Madden sold
the horse to the late Marcus DAILY three years
ago for a price said at the time to have been
$4,000.
1t was SID p. m. when William Easton, the
auctioneer began to dilate upon the mighty
breeding and splendid racing record of the son
of Hanover He talked for minutes. Then
the handsome. sleek coated fellow was brought
into the ring. Hamburgs coat was as glossy os

''Forty-one thousand dollars!" said John
Mackey, who represented Mr.. Haggin.
'Forty-five thousand dollars replied Mr..
Madden who evidently did not think that the

aid the sense OF hearing but there was quiet for
instant.
