FEATURES OF YESTERDAYS RACING.
DoMINos POPULAR VICTORY IN THE RICH PROD
UcE sTAKEs-THE UNEXPECTED DE-

FEAT OF SIR WALTER.
Yesterday was the last Saturday OF the present
meeting at Monmouth This fact, combined with a
promise OF seeing the mighty Domino as starter
| in the valuable Produce Stakes, brought out a
large attendance In numbers 1t compared favor
ably with the best Of the meeting yet it was not
nearly so great as the throng which the West
ern nIly Elizabeth l.. win the last year.
The weather was hardly of the kind that one could
enjoy. being cold and damp and making the sum-
mer costumes of the fair occupants or the stand
look anything but comfortable.
Dominos triumph was the feature OF the day.
and to see the unbeaten black colt lead the field
from fag-fall to finish extremely pleasing
| 1t was n most popular and gratifying victory
When he did not start In the Junior Champion
many people feared that the stories OF his break
down were not entirely unfounded. To see him
winner again sets aside all rumors He did not
conquer easily but he was giving away lot OF
weight to colts Of fair class. The value Of the
stake to the winner was 2O.i25. The second horse
received 5000 and the third $1,000.

startling SUNRISE occurred. The winner the

His race showed that this confidence was not mis-

When the name OF Domino posted as a starter
Cor the Produce Stakes general eagerness to
! him prevailed. He did not warm up but was
found walking around in the far end of the pad
dock under the trainers watchfu eye. He seemed
to move with a little soreness and the VIDE req
bandages on both front legs were accepted by
many as "A bad sign. Hence they refrained from
backing him. Mr. Keene and his trainer how
ever were confident that he would win. and made
no secret of this confidence. When the crowds
saw Taral ride him out at the finish. some OBJ
servers thought that the colt was stopping. ana
II certainly looked II he was. Tara confirmed
this view. yet said that in Chicago Domino did
| the same thing. showing an inclination TO stop
| after he got wei. in front.
The result Of the Jersey Handicap was puzzling
! The pace was slow enough to suit Ramapo, and one
OF his owners said that he was ten pounds better
colt than when he last run, yet he came in poor
| third. Sir Walter always well up. was not in
ferfercd with or bothered In any way. Yet did not
seem 10 have any speed and was unplaced The
winner had the best Of the weights yet few be-
