LAKELAND DENIES a RrMOR-PRosPECrs OF A
RACE BETWEEN DOMINO AND HENRY OF
NAvARRE-DEAD HEATS.
William Lakeland Is grievousy annoyed at the
printed reports that disagreement has taken place
between his employers and himself There has not
been the slightest misunderstanding he says. since
he began to train for James X. Foxha P.
keene. There is. however. chance that some OF
| the horses owned by the Keenes will be trained by
other trainers. IA 1t Is utter impossiby for one
man train such "A large stable successfully Lake
land has written a letter OF explanation to James r.
Keene. as he thought tina: Mr.. Keene might think
the reports emanated from his trainer.
In regard to the proposed race between Domino
| and Henry OF Navarro. 1t Is generally known that
Domino met severe accident in Chicago. that he
was forced into retirement for nearly two months
Now that the horse Is just rounding to his form.
his owners desire 10 him judlcously. and not
to ask too much OF him at the beginning. James
r. e. +. p. Keene are willing to race him at
mile. weight for age against Henry OF Navarro
or any other horse in training. J. c. X. Lawrence.
however. desires the to be at a distance OF a
mile and an eighth Mr.. Lawrence wants the horses
to pass the Judges stand twice. as he says that
will please the public better than race at a mile
out OF the chute.
Byron McC.elland said yesterday: Il do not de-
sire any newspaper notorety In the matter am
willing to race. as Henry OF Navarro Is good just
now. and the time 10 race horses II when they
in that condition. to have been informed by
the club to-day II the race was made. but have
not heard from the officials When the officials are
ready / am so that II Is useless TO talk unless
something definite Is known to the Intentions Of
the clubs officials"
There Is every reason in favor OF the acceptance
OF the proposition made by the owners OF Domino
A race at "A mile would create the greatest en-
thusasm among racegoerS. The Coney Island
Jockey Club can easily AFFORD 10 give s. 900 for
race between such cracks Domino. Henry OF
Navarro and possibly Clifford. The attendance
would be enormous. and the race would create
widespread interest in the turf world
