GRAVEsEND, Sept. 1.-THE fail meet
ing OF the Brooklyn Jockey Club began
under most favorable circumstances TO-
day. The attraction was the first special,
an allowance event for all-aged horses at u
mile aud a quarter. It drew together the
five best in this country, including the
mighty Henry OF Navarro, the flying
black colt Domino and the great but
erratic Rey FL Santa Anita. In addition,
Clifford and Sir Walter were thrown i'll
at weights that gave them more than
fighting chance.
When three events had been disposed
OF the candidates for the first special APP
peared. After several false breaks, for
which Clifford was to blame, they finally
got away in good order. Sir Walter aE
once took up the role OF taskmaster
Taral pursued different tactics with
| Domino to-day. He endeavored to make
a waiting race of it, and kept him in the
rear Of Clifford. They passed the grand
stand the first time with Sir Walter q
! length and d half before Rey EI Santa
Anita, who was tapped TO the withers of
! Henry OF Navarro, who was clear of
Clifford and Domino.
! This order was maintained to the far
u
they negotiated the turn, and all but
Clifford moved up to Sir Walter. They
swung into the homestretch with Sir
| W alter neck to the good of Rey 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 he was headed for
| home. Griffin took matters very calmly
| with Henry OF Navarro. He gradually
wore down Sir " alters lead, and finally
won with comparative ease by length.
! Clifford, who came with superb rush III
the final furlong, wresled the place from
/ Sir W alter by neck. Sir Waiter tired
badly. Rey I'll santa Auita was bad
fourth, and Domino was eased up in tho
last half IurlOng. The time, 2:U9 was not
sensational.
The other big event on the card to-day
was the race for the Holly Handicap, Of
