NEXT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS con-
TESTS AT JEROME PARK.
RaceCoers In this neighborhood should rejoice at
the prospect of witnessing great turf battle De-
tween the cracks OF 1894. Domino. Clhord ana
Henry OF Navarro are TO meet at weight Tor age
over the Morris Park track in race OF one and
one-eighth miles. There Is every reason TO expect
a great contest as the owners of the horses are
fully as anxious as the public to have the ques-
ton Of supremacy enectualy settled. The great
Morris Park Special Is likely to be the last great
race with betting that will take place In this neigh
borhood for years The constitutional amend
nents are almost to be adopted. and one or
them will enectuay settle racing for n score OF
years When Domino who is real champion OF
champions meets the Western idol. CNnord. ana
the consistent campaigner, Henry OF Navarro VINO
has earned the title OF the 'ganest OF the game
as fairly and honestly as Napoleon's great heu-
tenant Marshal Ney gained the title OF the pray
est OF the brave meet in the great battle OF next

| party to the great is firm in the conviction
| that the 300 will fall to its representatives
