lb.-lt is doubtful II two better three
year-olds than Henry OF Navarro and
Domino ever met In a race. Probably
more interest would have been evinced
by the public II the race had been more
sporty. II, in other. a side bet of 81 900

thusiasm would have made itself mani
fest.
The race-going public as a rule does
not care for a man who would not
back his horse with his money. Never
theless some 1900 persons made up their
minds that the meeting between the
two great three-year-olds was going to
be the race of the year, and accordingly
went GOWN to the track by rail and car
riage.
Probably very few OF this great
crowd knew that heavy showers fell at
Gravesend during the night. Conse-
quently 1t was something of a shock
when they rested their eyes on the
track and found patches of mud all
over 1t. Gangs of men were at work
with small garden rakes, carefully
turning over eoch clump of mud in or

Once at the track the regulars busted
