Who saw the great event. The feld was

The start was O good one. Tarai took
Domino 10 the front at once. and led at
shs frst clump of trees. hot pressed by
B1silee. At the turn at the head OF the
homestretch Galiiee took the lead and
po5biDs held his head on a line with
Domino's saddie-girth. 1t looked des-
perate for the fayorite for moment, but
tbs greatest Jockey IN America was on his

were used 10 such advantage that in
another moment Domino began wearing
the leader down. regaining the lost ground.

would not mind betting $3.50 on it."
