A GREAT DAY AT GRAvESEAD.
The Greatest Race of the Year
Yesterday.
Henry OF Navarro the Wilmer, clifford
Second and sir Walter Third-The
the start-Domino Acted Like a De-
mon and Was First to Quit.

New YORK, Sept. 17.-This was
great day at the Gravesend track, for It
was the opening OF the fall season, with
the greatest race OF the year as the fea-
ture. The attendance was light when
the attractions were taken into con-
sideration, for barely 5000 people ap-
peared.. All through the. year efforts
have been made to bring the FIVE best
handicap horses in training together,
and finally, without any agreement, the
Brooklyn Jockey Club had succeeded in
getting them into their regular stake,
with Henry Of Navarro, Rey oil Santa
Anita and Domino, at weights for age;
Clifford with five pounds off. and Sir
Walter with twelve pounds allowance.
Griffin. instead Of Perkins, was given
the mount on Navarro. BY this change
ReiG got Rey ell SAINT Anita and Sims
was on Clifford, Taral on Domino and
Doggett on Sir Walter.
When the betting opened there was no
doubt Of the fsvorite, for Henry of Ma
varre opened at to 5, but in spite of
the money bet on him did not get any
lower AT the post Domino acted like q
demon and refused to break, 80 it was
ten minutes before they came up to the
starter in line and the red flag dropped
Sir Walter was the first to show, and
came into tho stretch for the first time
under gentle pull, with Rey ell Santa
Anita second and Henry OF Navarro
third, Clifford fourth and Domino last
The three quarters pole was reached
in 1:l7H. Sir Walter was leading
without much urging and Rey ell Santa
Anita had opened bit of clear track
from Henry OF Navarro, who was two
lengths in front Of Domino and oil but
thirteen seconds came the critical point
for Domino. Taral was al work with
iron and bit, and the black colt leaped
ahead, but only for an instant. Yard
by yard, the others left him struggling
in tho rear and at the mile pole when
the horses Strengthened out into the
stretch he was hopslessly beaten.
At the head of the stretch Sir Walter
was still In the lead, having run the
mile in 1885, but Henry of Navarro
was coming, and only neck behind in
third place. Clifford was fourth, but
some distance behind, and now Sims
WAS riding hard. With only an eighth

vent his winning and at 300 by the
timers watch he passed the finish line q
length and 9 half in the lead. Clifford
managed to get the place away from

a Bond Issue Not probable.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-Reports to
the Treasury Department show that
$3.50 600 in gold was withdrawn to day
from tho sub-tre asury at New York for
export, and that $3.50 600 IN gold was de
posted by Rochester, N Y. bank,
which Offsets the Withdrawals, leaving
the true amount of the reserve at the
close of business, $95, asa, 52s. The talk
OF an early bond issue has practically
died out here, the opinion among officials
being that, while President Cleveland
will protect the national credit when in
danger, by any means within his power,
the present situation is not such as to
call for attention on his part. Those
persons best qualified to speak on the
subject say that another bond issue ia
certainly not within the probabilities.
