with the greatest race OF the year as
the feature. The attendance was light
when the attractions were taken into
consideration. for but 5000 people ap-
peared. All during 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 has succeeded In
getting them into their regular state
with Henry of Navarro. Rey FL Santa
Anita and Domino with weights for
age: Clifford with five pounds off and
Sir Walter with IL pounds allowance.
Griffin. instead of Perkins. was given
the mount on Navarro. BY this change
Reiff got Rey FL Santa Anita and
Simms was on Clifford. Taral on Domi-
no and Doggett on Sir Walter.
When the betting opened there was
no doubt Of the favorite, for Henry
of Navarro opened at to 8. but in
spite Of the money bet on him he did
not get any lower. The reason for this
was the betting on Clifford. for Rodgers
had declared he would win. The open
ing price was 2ls. and he was soon at
2. Domino receded to from 2k. and
Rey El Santa Anita from to IL. while
Sir Walter was steady at to /. At
the post Domino acted like a demon
and refused to break, so 1t was 10 min
utes before they came up to the start
er in line and the red flag dropped.
Sir Walter was the first to show, and
came into the stretch for the first time
under gentle pull. with Rey FL Santa
Anita second and Henry of Navarro
third, Clifford fourth and Domino last.
They came slowly down in front Of
the grand stand at little more than an
exercise gallop. nearly. all OF them
jumping. The first quarter took 26A
seconds. Around the turn they in
creased little and at the three-eighths
Sir Walter was a length and a half in
front of Rey FL Santa Anita and only
a head in front OF Navarro. while
Domino was last. hanging close to Cliff
ford. Fifty-three seconds was the time
to the half mile and the race had Just
begun. 1t took 1914 seconds to run the
next furlong and Taral had begun to
urge Domino and passed Clifford. on
whom Simms was sitting easily. The
three-quarter pole was reached In
1:17la. Sir Walter was going without
much urging and Rey FL Santa Anita
had opened a bit Of clear track from
Henry Of Navarro. who was two
lengths in front of Domino, and all
but the latter going easily.
Then the horses Stacked and It took
- seconds for the racers to get around
the bend. but without change of posi-
tion. In the next 10 seconds came the
critical point for Domino. Would he 60
beyond what was supposed to be his
distance? Taral was at work with
iron and bat, and the black colt ieaped
ahead. but only for an instant. Yard
by yard the others left him struggling
in the rear and at the mile post. when
the horses Strengthened out into the
stretch, he was hopelessly beaten.
At the head Of the stretch Sir Walter
was still in the lead. having run the
mile In 1:43is. but he was In trouble
and Doggett was plying the whip. He
was only a neck In front of Rey FL
Santa Anita, but Henry OF Navarro
was coming and only a neck behind
in third place. Clifford was fourth.
but some distance behind. and now
Simms was riding hard. With only an
eighth OF a mile to go. Rey Ell Santa
Anita quit and Joined Domino, although
Reiff still tried to land him. Sir Walter
was through, too. and the best he
could do was third. Griffin. on Navar.
re. was through urging. for only an ac.
cident could prevent him from win
ming, and at 2:09 he passed the line
well in front. Clifford managed to get
the place away from Sir Walter in the
last sixteenth. and again the gallant
son of Midlothian had to take lower
place. 1t was a contest Of the giants in
which Henry Of Navarro was the best
by long odds.
The first race was a handicap of six
furlongs with Flying Dutchman a pro-
nounced favorite. Patrician was an
odds-on favorite for the second race
and won easily. In the Holly handl.
can a first-class lot OF 2-year-olds
