battle OF the giants OF the tu-f. A large
crowd took advantage of the weather 10

There were at least 400 persons pres
ent. The attraction was the nrst spe-
cial and allowance event for all ages
horses, at mile and quarter. IL
drew together ten Of the best horses. in
cluding the mighty Henry of Navarro,
the flying black colt Domino, and the
great Rcy el Santa Anita. In addition.
clifford and Sir Water were thrown IN. at
weights that gave them no more than II
fghtin. chance.
When three events haG been Disposed
Of. the candidates for the nrst special
appeared. After several false breaks,
for which Clifford was to blame, they
finally got away Ia good order.

Domino, as usual. did not relish waiting
tactics. lie 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 Navarro. He grad

in the final furlOng. wrested the place
from Sir Walter by neck. Sir Walter
