NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-The racing for
the year at Sheepshead Bay track
ended today i'll blaze of glory. The
attendance was large owing to the con-
test between Domino and Clifford, i'm
which the latter was favorlte and the
former was the public choice, although
it could not pour the amount of money
into the ring which the biz plungers
put up. Both horses were cheered as
they passed out to the start, but it was
evident Domino was the favorte from
the greater amount of applause. At
the start down into the chute there was
little delay, and the flag fell with the
two in line. Domino made a terrific
bound, and i'll the first sixteenth had
carried Clifford at such pace that the
four-year-old was begging for mercy.
as that part of the race was run in bet
ter than six seconds. and it was
there that Taral took the measure
OF his rival. On TO the first
eighth they flew, locked together like a
team. and their noses struck the pole in
II 2.5 seconds from the fall of the flag.
Still locked together. they ran to the
quarter, and the pole was reached in
"A % seconds, cracking pace. AT the
three-eighths pole. which was reached
in So So seconds, Domino had a shade
the better of it, and Clifford was breath
ing hard. Taral saw that he was safe
and took Domino back a tritie, and the
next eighth was run in ~ As seconds.
Then another eighth pole was passed in
Is 1-5 seconds, and Clifford came up a
bit. Taral let out link, and away the
black three.year-old flew, covering the
next eighth III II So seconds, making
the three-quarterS In liza Ia, aud taking
all the heart out of Clifford Then they
rounded the turn into the stretch, with
Domino going easily and Clifford labor
ing length away. Simms went tosthe
whip In the vain hope of catching his
flying antagonist. but the Western herse
was done and could do no more 81
"DOmino WINS" the crowd shouted,
and they were right, for Taral eased his
mount and came in a winner under an
easy pull in the fast time of 1925.
Never before in the history of the track
was there such a wild shout Of joyQand
AS Domino passed the wire length in
the lead; and, in fact, all during the,iast
furlong the shouts were deafening. r.
l.. Rose said after the race that he was
satisfied, for he had been beaten 10y IA
better horse, while Foxhall Keene sat in
the club house and looked pleased over
the victory of his horse. Clifford looked
as ii he had been in a very hard race,
while Domino was full of spirit as ever,
and looked able to repeat the victory
