New YORK. Sept ia more propitious
dav could not have been desired for the race
at one mile and furlong between Domino
and Henry Of Navarro at Gravesend to-day.
The attendance was the best of the meeting.
Betting was begun early in the day and the
odds were ] TO against Domino and 10
against Henry Of Navarro. Riley Grannon,
the plunger. hung out TO on the former
after the Banquet race and soon had all the
business he could attend to, for within few
seconds he had taken in three $4,000 bets
and three OF $1,000 each. Smaller amounts
rushed in andsile soon had taken in 100000.
At the end OF the betting his total was $780,
O7O on which he stood to lose $685. ,042, and
then be had got all he wanted and stood at
ease waiting for the race.
The bugle called the horses to the post at
42O and then the lawn and grand stand was
a sea OF heads. Domino was first TO appear,
and as be went up to the start the crowd
cheered frantically only TO re-echo the cheer
when Henry OF Navarro appeared. There was
scarcely an instauts delay at the post and
the two went away in perfect order Com
ing 10 the grand stand for the first time both
were under a gentle pull but were moving
pretty fast the irst quarter being run in O-2552.
DOMINO SET THE PACE.
In the next eighth the pace was quickened
a bit for Domino went out and took the rail,
and had 10 run it in Ol2]g TO do it. Both
Tsral and Doggett steadied their mounts as
they rounded the lower turn, and the time
for the next eighth was 0:l3i5. Then there
was a little easing up OF the tight rein, and
with Domino still Il length in front they made
the next eighth IN 0:l2l..
The three-quarters was reached in l:l6. the
last eighth be NJ rolled of in 0lla. Both
Jockeys were riding for dear life. Faster and
faster they few and the next eighth was COW
cred IN 0I1is. the last quarter around the
turn being run in 0:23l5. Into the straight
they rushed and when they were straight
ened out for home it could be seen that Dom
ino was faltering. Up into the air went
Tarals whip and down il came on Domino g
flank with a swish. while Doggett had not
vet taken 10 the whip. "Domino's beaten $"
went up from the thousands OF On-loOkers.
Itwas not plain sailing for Henry Of Navarro,
however as he. too. was faltering and four
teen seconds was the best they could do for
that eighth Then Doggett went TO the whip,
for he could not hold the advantage OF 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.
DEAD HEAT THE RESULT.
The judges were unable to separate them,
and amid the cheers Of the crowd the dead
heat sign was hung out and the owners
agreed to divide. For the second time Dom
inc ran even with a rival. Henry OF Navarro
holding him at the distance. as Dobbins had
previously done in a match race.
The Banquet-Sir Walter race was a farce,
aud ended with Banquet in the lead by four
lengths amid kissing. 1t was nothing more
than an exercise Eallop for mile, and then a
sprint through the stretch The other races
were well contested. Winners: Harrington,
Rubicon. Harry Reed. Banquet. Domino and
Henry Of Navarro dead heat, Tinge, and
Emin Bey.
