New York. Jan. 30.-The greatest
crowd that ever assem- 'led>at a horse
sale in America, if not in the world,
gathered at II ldisoi Square Garden
tonimht at the dispersal sale of the
horses of the late Marcus D .iy. The
garden was packed, 12,0CO persons be-
ing present. Hamburg, the pride of
the Bitter Root stock f,rm, was sold to
William c. Whitney for 100000. That
the great horse was sold for such a
price was not because he was not con-
sidered to be worth a great deal more,
but, because The few men who hid
against MIR. Nl,itney's representative
had not the courage to force the prize.
Hamburg was the first horse led in
to The ring. John E.. Madden, who
owned Hamburg when he was the
prince Of two-year-olds, started the
ball with 4 bid of SAC, 900. Representa-
tives of J. B.. Haggin, James r. Keene
and Frank Gardner, the Australian
miner, pottered along with alternate
| raises of 81 COO until the price got
abont $50, ,0OO. Then the bidding was
slow. At $50, 900 it hung for time
Then John E. Madden bid 5000 and
! the morse was sold to him.
! Mr.. Madden immediately announced
that he represented MIR. whitney.
There is no question that had the bid
ding been spirited MIR, Whitney would
have paid any price within reason TO
secure the horse.
