Dominance of Domino 449 



ization, etc.), Flying Dutchman (a really good 

 race-horse), and Irish Reel (a very speedy animal 

 and frequent winner), in the Flight Stakes, seven- 

 eighths mile. He made a gallant bid for victory, 

 but was defeated two lengths by Requital in 

 i.26|-. Flying Dutchman finished third, ten 

 lengths away, and Irish Reel had a distant view 

 of the race. 



Three days afterward Hamburg, 120 pounds, 

 ran second, beaten a head, to Previous, 115 

 pounds, in the Flatbush Stakes, seven-eighths 

 mile, beating Firearm, 115, Handball, 115, The 

 Huguenot, 120, Kitefoot, 115, and three others; 

 time, I.28J-; and two days later, with 129 pounds, 

 he won the Autumn Stakes, Futurity Course, 

 easily, by two lengths, beating Archduke, 122 

 pounds, The Huguenot, 122, Firearm, 129, 

 Lydian, 109, Gibraltar, 112; time, i.ii. 



His previous races had shown that Hamburg 

 was the best two-year-old in training, and his 

 next victory, in the Great Eastern Handicap^ 

 over the Futurity Course, proved that he was the 

 best by a large margin. He shouldered 135 

 pounds, making the running throughout, and 

 won, with something up his sleeve, by a length, 

 in i.ioj, beating Kifefoot, iii pounds. Briar
