HENRY OF NAVARRE. THE PEERLESS HORSE WINS AGAIN Domino, Clifford, Sir Walter and Ray Fl Santa Anita Contest With Him at
 Grayesend.

Gravesend, L. L, Sept 17.-The fall meeting of the Brooklyn Jockey club be- gan under most favorable circumstances today. The air was soft and balmy, and it was typical September day. The track was in perfect shape for the battle of the giants of the turf A large crowd took advantage of the weather to see the brilliant programme run off. There were at least 1000 persons present.
 The attraction was the first special, an allowance event for all good horses, at mile and a quarter It drew together ten of the best horses, including the mighty Henry of Navarro, the flying black colt, Domino, and the great but cratic Key El Santa Anita. In addition Clifford and Sir Walter were thrown in at weights that gave them more than fighting chance.
 When three events had been disposed of the candidates for the first special ap- peared. After several false breaks, for which Clifford was to blame, they hnal- ly got away in good order. Sir Walter at once took up the roll of task master. Taral pursued different tactics with Domino today. He endeaVored to make a waiting race of it and kept him in the rear of Clifton. They passed the grand stand the first time with Sir Walter a length and a half before Key Fl Santa Anita, who was Tapped to the withers by Henry of Navarro, who was clear of Clifford and Domino, This order was maintained to the far turn A general closing up began as they negotiated the turn and all but Clifford moved up to Sir Walter. They swung into the home strer ch with Sir Walter a neck to the good of Key El Santa Anita and Henry of Navarro. Domino, as usual, did not relish waiting tactics. He was beaten before the home stretch was reached, and he gave up the struggle as soon as they were headed for home. Griffin took matters very calmly with Henry of Ma varre He gradually wore down Sir Walters lead and finally won with com parative ease by a length. Clifford, who came with a superb rush in the final fur long, wrested the place from Sir Walter by a neck. Sir Walter tired badly. Key Fl Santa Anita was bad fourth ana Domino was ease1 up in the last half fur long, The time, 2G9, was not sensa- tional
 The other big event on the programme today was the race for the Holly handi- cap, of the value of 5000, and 1t did not result in a triumph for the talent.
