GRAVESEND, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE
fall meeting of the Brooklyn Jockey Club
began under the most favorable conditions
to-day. The attraction was the first
special, an allowance event for alleged
horses at a mile and quarter. 1t drew
together the best five in this country, in
Guiding the mighty Henry of Navarro, the
flying black colt Domino and the great,
but cratic Rey ell Santa Anita. In addi-
ton Clifford and Sir Walter were thrown
in at weights that gave them more than a
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 finally
got away in good order. Sir Walter at
once took up the role of taskmaster. Taral
pursued different tactics with Domino to-
day. He tried to make waiting race of it
and kept him in the rear of Clifford. They
passed the grand stand the first time with
Sir Walter length and half before Rey
ell 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 turn. A general
closing-up began at the turn and all but
Clifford moved up to Sir Walter.
They swung into the homestretch with
Sir Walter a neck to the good of Santa
Anita and Navarro. Domino, as usual, did
not relish waiting tactics. He was beaten
before the homestretch 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
gradually wore down Sir Walters lead and
finally won with comparative ease by a
length.
Clifford, who came fast in the final fur
long, wrested the place from Sir Walter by
a neck. Sir Walter tired badly. Rev ell
Santa Anita was bad fourth, and Dom
inc was eased up in the last half furlong.
The time 2:09, was not sensational.
The other big event on the card to-day
was the race for the Holly handicap, of
value $4,000, and it did not result in a tri-
umph for the talent. 1t was easily won by
Ben Brush, who was third in demand in
the ring. Margrave, the favorite, finished
second. The Western contingent were
