 New York, April 26.-Dr, Gardner, Timothy D. sullivan's big bay Ban nockburn- -Uarda, four year old colt, won the $1O,OOO Excelsior handicap at Jamaica to-day in the easiest sort of style Glorifier, winner of the Cartier handicap, was second, and Cairngorm third. The distance was mile and a sixteenth ana the time was 1:4S Is. Dr. Gardner opened at and close at to in the betting. Gloriier had little sup port at F to ! while Cairngorm receded from to tow 10 to 1 at post time. w.. H Carey and Kings Daughter closed equal favorites at to 2, while the Bell mont pair, Don Diego and Okenite and ]. c. Core, held at 8 to 1 throughout. The others could be had at odds rang ing from 20 to 50 to 1. Kentucky's rep resentative, Kings Daughter, probably was the most fancied horse in the race, but like w. H. Carey was crowded out at the first turn and never had a chance thereafter But two favorites won, Robin Hood and Handzarra. Per feet weather brought a crowd of 20,0O0
 The fourteen starters in the Excelsior were sent off fairly well, Dr. Gardner going to the front at once. On the first turn there was much crowding and several of those running well up in front were buffeted about, losing their favorable positions and all chances of success. Perfectly ridden by Jockey Martin, Dr. Gardner escaped the mixup and had clear sailing, Glorifier and Cairngorm also being among the for tunate ones. There were no exciting features to the race-nothlng to stir the big crowd to enthusiasm. pr. Gardner, maintained his great swinging stride to the finish with no need of urging from his Jockey, while Glorifer, Cairngorm and Philander trailed along in the order named. The others, hopelessly beaten, 1frished as they pleased, Carey being tsixth and Kings Daughter eleventh. o1 The third race, 1-2 furlongss handi- sfap, proved the best contest of the day AHardzarra, Voorhees, and Pretension finished heads apart, the winner being splendidly ridden by J.
