| SHEEPsHEAD, Aug. %. - Domino
proved himself the orthy son of a noble
sire today by winning the great Futurity
stake from field OF nineteen COMPETE
tors. He carried top weight, too, and
was delayed at the post nearly half an
hour. Besides this the track was heavy
and sticky. 1t was Just 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 a head behind at the finish
The value OF the stake was $65, $50, d.
vided as follows: $40, Us to Domino and
8, geo to his breeder; So, 334 to Galilee and
y, 500 to his breeder; g, $3.50 to Dobbins
and 81 600 to mis- breeder.
Fear of a cyclone deferred many from
going to the track. Eight thousand
woald be liberal estimate Of the number
OF people who saw the great event. The
held was the largest ever started in the
futurity race. Domino was a public
faVorite and though nearly every horse in
the race was well backed, he carried the
bulk OF public money, as much as to 5
were laid against his chances.
The start was. a good one. Taral took
Domino TO the front al once and led ST the
first cluInD 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 line with Dominos
saddle girth. 1t looked desperate for the
favorite Tor q moment, but the greatest
jockey in America was on his back and ne
began riding him with all his power and
skill. Heel, hand and whip were used to
such advantage that in another moment
Domino began wearing the leader down,
regaining lost ground.
The Instant he poked his nose in 'front.'
OF Galilee great shout went up. In the
tae frrraI <-ar I-sfF
to keep Gal1lee in the van, but it was
Lilliputian against giant and Taral out
rode both he and McDermott and drove
gallant Domino home under such a hail
of punishment that he won by nose on
the very post. Griffin by one last de-
spairing effort landed Galilee head be-
fore Dobbins.
81 think Dobbins can beat Domino,
same weights and race over again, and
wouldn't mind betting S25, COO on ii, -
said DWyer. Mr.. Keene expressed a
Willingness to make the match, but there
was 2 misunderstanding as TO jockies,
both parties expressing preference for
TaTal. Taral is under engagement with
the Keenes and they could hardly be ex-
pected to give him up.
