THE TURF.
Domino and Henry of Navarro Run
an Exciting Dead Heat at Graves
end.

New York, Sept 15.-After raining
more or less all night, with a shower
early this morning, the air cleared ana
=. warm sun came out with cool
breeze. which dried out the Gravesend
track. A more propitious day could
not have been desired for the race at d
mile and a furlong between Domino
and Henry of Navarro. The attendance
was the best of the meeting. The odoS
were l to against Domino ana 10 D
against Navarro. Riley Grannon, the
plunger, hung out to 5 on the former,
after the Banquet race, ana soon ndo
ali the business he could attend to, Tor
within a, few seconds he had taken IN
three $4,000 bets and three of S5,0OO.
Smaller amounts rushed in and he had
soon taken in $50, 600. At the end OF the
betting his total was $106,070, on which
he stood to lose $50, 602, and then he
had got all he wanted and stood at
ease waiting for the race.
The bugle called the horses to the
post. There was scarcely an instant S
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 DOM
inc went out and took the rail. Both
Taral and Doggett steadied their
mounts as they rounded the 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 1214 seconds The three
quarters was reached in lis, the last
eighth being rolled off in 114 seconds.
Both jockeys were riding for dear life.
Faster and faster they flew, and the
next eighth was covered in liz seconds,
the last quarter around the turn being
run in 2314 seconds. In the stretch they
rushed, and when they were Strengthened
out for home it could be seen Domino S
faltering gait was present. Taral
whipped his mount with a swish, while
Doggett had not yet taken to the whip.
"Domino's BEATEN went up from
the thousands of onlookers.
1t was not all plain sailing for Henry
of Navarro, however, as he was too
faltering and IA seconds was the best
they could do for that eighth. Then
Doggett went to the whip, for he could
not hold the advantage 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 separ-
ate them, and amid the cheers of the
crowd hung the dead shingle out and
owners agreed to divide.
