RUN EVEN AT GRAvEsEND.
Mile and n FurIonE I'm 1s55 1-2 ind
Ffnish-victory for Banquet.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-After raining
more or less all night, with a sharp
shower early this morning, the air cleared
and a warm sun came out, with a cool
breeze, which dried out the track at
Gravesend. A more propiticus day could
not have been desired for the race at one
mile and a furlong between Domino and
Henry OF Navarro. The attendance was
the best OF the meeting. The odds were 1
to 2 against Domino and Z to 5 against
Henry of Navarro. Riley Grannon. the
plunger, hung out 3 TO 8 on the former,
after the Banquet race, and soon had all
the business he could attend to. for within
a few seconds he had taken three $l0,WV
bets and three of 5000 each. Smaller
amounts rushed in and he soon had taken
in $4,000. At the end Of the betting his
total was $1O6. zoo. on which he stood TO
lose s .042, and then he had got all he
wanted. and stood at ease waiting for the
race.
The bugle called the horses to the post
at 40. There was scarcely an instants
delay at the post and the two went away
in perfect order. Coming to the grand
stand for the first time both were under a
gentle pull, but were moving pretty fast.
In the next eighth the pace was quickened
a bit, for Domino went out and took the
rail. Both Taral and Doggett steadied
their mounts as they rounded tue lower
turn. Then there was a little easing up
of the tight rein and with Domino still
a length in front they made the next eighth
in 12A seconds. The three-quarters was
reached in lis, the last eighth being rolled
off in 11% seconds. Both jockeys were rid
ing for dear life. Faster and faster they
few and the next eighth was covered in
11z seconds. the last quarter around the
turn being run In 23A seconds. Into
the straight they rushed and
when they were Strengthened out
for home 1T could be seen that Domino was
faltering. Up into the air went Taral's
whip and down 1T came on Domino's flank
with a swish, while Doggett had not yet
taken to the whip. "Domino's beaten went
up from the thousands of on-lookers. 1t
was not all plain sailing for Henry of Ma
varre, however, as he, too, was faltering,
could do for that eighth. Doggett went to
the whip, for he could not hold the ad-
vantage of a head which he had at that
point, and the black colt slowly crept up
until their noses were even, and SO they
ran to the end. The Judges were unable to
separate them, and, amid the cheers of the
crowd, the dead signal was hung out and
