SIfEEPsHEAD BAY. n. Y, Aug. %
Domino proved himself to be the worthy
son of a noble sire today by whining
the great Futurity stakes from field
of nineteen competitors. He carried
the top weight, TOO. and was delayed at
the post nearly half an hour. Besides
this the track was heavy in spots, and it
was just the day for lightweight, but
he vanquished all of them, though one
of them, Galiiee, gave him a hard fight
for over furlong. and was only head
behind at the finish.
1t was the sixth of the Futurity Sc
rieS of races, and the best of any of
them. 1t was the richest, 100, for the
the gross value was $65,6Ge 1t was di-
vided as follows: S49.715 to Domino and
$4,000 to his breeder; S5,SS3.33 to Cali
lee. $500 to his breeder; S2.666.67 TO
DobbinS and $1,000 to his breeder.
The fear that cyclone was due and
might visit the track during the after
noon no doubt deferred many from GO
ing to the track. At all events. it was
the poorest Futurity of the lot. Eight
thousand would be liberal estimate of
the NUMBER of people who saw the
great event. The field was the largest
that ever started in Futurity race.
Domino
was the public favorite, and, though
nearly every horse in the race was we'll
backed. he carried the bulk of the pub
lie money, and as much as z to was
laid against his chances. Rey Ell Santa
Anita and Dobbins were the next best
liked and supported In the books.
There was no parade of the starters as
the day was waning and it was adj
visable to get them to post andaway
delay of nearly half all hour at the post.
Rowe caught them all in motion like
cavalry line, and down went the flag
and they were off. The ends closed in,
and the lot punched up in a sort of
funnel shape. Then Dobbins collided
with Hyderabad and knocked OVerton.
his Jockey to the ground, but he was
not hurt seriously.
TaraI took Domino to the front at
once and led at the first clunp of trees
holly pressed by Galilee, who was run
ming like ghost. The others were
Gathering at their heels like a drove of
wild horses. The race was particularly
between this pair. At the bend of the
track at the head Of the home stretch
fialilee took the lead and Dobbins had
his head on a line with Domino's
saddle girtil. 1t looked des-
perate for the favorite for
a moment. but the greatest jockey in
America was OH his back, and he began
riding him with all his power and skill.
Heel and whip were used to such adj
vantage thatin another moment Domino
began wearing his leader down, regain
ing his lost ground. The instant he
poked his nose in front of Gallilee
A Great Shout
went up. 1t was horse race, and
everybody realized it. In the last fur
long Griffin used every endeayor to
keep Galilee in the van, but it was
Lilliputian against giant. and Taral
outrode both him and McDermott and
drove the gallant Domino home under
such a hail of punishment that he won
by nose on the very post.
Griffin, by one last effort, landed
Galilee head before Dobbns. None
but the judges could tell who had won,
and when Domino's number was hoisted
on high, the most eXtrayagant kind of
demonstration ensued. Taral was
presented with $1,000 by the Me ssrs.

AS Mr. Keene wandered across the
grounds after the race, shaking hands
with his friends, he came across MIR.

ing was most cordial and their congrat-
ulations of the warmest.
IL think Dobblns can beat Domino.
the same weights and race over again,
and | would not mind betting $25, 500 on
it,n said Mr.. Dwyer. Mr.. Keene ex-
prefsed his Willingness to make
match, but there was misunderstand-
ing as to the jockeys, both parties eX-
pressing their preference for Taral.
Taral is under engagement with the
Keenes, and they could hardly be ex-
pected to give him up.
1t would not be surprising should
they get together tomorrow, sign
articles and post the money.
