PURSE.
With Top Weight Up, He Wins From
a Field of Nineteen on
Heavy Track.
Special to the REcoRp-UN1ox.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SHEEPsHEAD BAY, Aug. 29.-Domino
proved himselfa worthy son of a noble
sire to-day by winning the great Futurity
stake from field of nineteen competi-
tors. He carried the top weight too, and
was delayed at the post nearly half an
hour. Beside this, the track was heavy
and sticky. 1t was just the day for a
light weight, but he vanquished all OF
them, though one Of them, Galilee. gave
him hard fight for over a furlong and
was only head behind at the finish.
The value of the stake ws S65, $50, divided
as follows: To Domino, 1915, and
$4,000 to his breeder; IS, 3};34 to Galilee, and
s., 500 10 his breeder; S2, G66 to Dobbins
and 81 200 to his breeder.
The field was the largest which has
ever started in the Futuritv race. Dom
inc was the public favorite, and though
nearly every horse i'll the race was we'll
backed, be carried the bulk Of the public
money, and as much as : to was laid
against his chances.
The start was good one. Taral took
Domino to the front at once and led at the
first clump Of trees, hot pressed by Cali
lee. AT the turn at the head OF the home
stretch Galilee took the lead, and Dobbins
held his head on a line with Dolnino's
r
tavorite for the moment, but the greatest
jockey in America was on his back, and
he began riding him with ali his power
and skill. Heel, hand and whip were
used to such advantage that in another mo-
ment Domino began wearing the leader
down, regaining his lost ground. The in
stant he poked his nose in front of GaIilee
a great shout went up. In the last fur
long Griffin used every endeavor to keep
Galilee in the van, but it was a liiliputian
against giant, and Taral outrode both
he and McDermott and drove the gallant
horse home under hail of punishment.
He won by nose on the very post. Grif-
fin, by one last, despairing effort, landed
Galilee head before Dobbins.

EXPLOSION ON a STEAMER.
The Vessel Badly Damaged and Three
Persons Injured.


SAN Francisco, Aug. 29.-The Pacific
Mail Company's steamship Barracuda.
from ComaX, b. c., to Acapulco with
coal, steamed into port this afternoon for
repairs. An explosion occurred on the
vessel Sunday afternoon, which COM
pleteIy wrecked her after-house and
injured three of her crew. No one knows
how the accident occurred
The steamer left Comax on the 9th, and
was sixty miles Off shore when the ex-
plosion occurred. The Barracouta's
upper house a02it the afterhatch was
lifted bodily from the deck, carried for a
distance OF more than a foot, and then
settled back about half the distance.
There IS now an opening of more than
six inches all around. Every state
room from the saloon companiOu-
way to the stern was blown to pieces.
The rich staircase was reduced 10 frag-
ments. Forward Of the stairway the bar
and pantry are mass Of broken dishes
glassware and shattered boards. The
outer walls OF the house were wrenched
into all kind of angles, and the partitions
between the staterooms were broken and
twisted out Of shape.
The main force of the explosion ap-
pears to have been under the hatchway,
which was blown high over the mizzen
mast. The steel drum OF the steam
winch was smashed into a thousand trag-
ments. Fortunately there were no pas
sengers, or else the loss Of lie would have
Deen trightful. Luncheon was over and
only three of the crew chanced to be
in the after part of the ship. Chief
Steward George Gray was thrown
out of his bunk. He suffered
from general concussion and very Sc
we're wrench Of the cervical vetrebrae.
Manuel Cordillos, thet cabin boy.
was found half an hour after the
accident in the pantry completely
covered with broken crockery and
boards, and unconscious. His face, head.
hands and legs are covered with bruises,
and he has lost his sense of hearing.
Another Central American cabin boy
was cut and bruised, but not severely.
The machinery was not injured in the
least, and the Barracouta's hull is prob
ably intact, as the vessel did not develop
a leak.
To Captain Irvine and the officers
the cause of the explosion is a
mystery. That it was occasioned bv
dynamite or equally powerful explosive
is certain. 1t could not have been from
gas, because the cargo was not on ire.
There was no disturbance of any sort
among the crew.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29.-The Press
publishes four-column article reiterat-
ing the statement that President Cleve-
land has submitted to an operation on the
yacht Oneida for the removal of a cancer
requiring the cutting away of consider
able part of the upper jawbone. So far
there is no serious effect.

sick and his physicians fear that mortal
disease is still lurking in his system.

in New York: The President is a sick

at the time of the Presidents previous

sition of the Thirteenth District opened
with the weather exceedingly pleasant.
The pavilion exhibits will all be in posi-
ton not later than tomorrow morning,
though that feature attracted several hun
dred people to-day and had a large crowd
tonight. At the race-course the attend
ance was but little IesS than on former
opening days, but the pool-boxes showed
that there was but little money in sight,
though this is accounted for by the state
ment that the favorites were all sure win
ners, and consequently little inducement
for betters to take the small end. Quite
number of owners Of horses for all con-
tests have failed to pay entrances, but this
does not indicate that there will be any
lack of interest for the reason that there
were an unusually large list OF entries,
and the speediest are here waiting for
the word. Some people assert that the
track is from three to five seconds short.
The first event was Dds trot for a purse
of $500, with five starters, Prince Daniels
being the favorite at $50 to S. for the field.
The field buyers had their hopes raised
in the first heat, but these were soon dis
PEELED by Princes capable showing in the
