Henry of Navarre Wins a Great Race
From OJffoiM and Domino.
Morris Park Race Track, N. Y.,
Oct. 6.—The battle for the lupremhcy
of lac American running turf mu
fought on the undulating plains of
Westchester tihls afternoon, and Henry
of '.Vavarre now wears the crown.
The race was a three-cornered ape-
clal. Henry of Navarre, the once peer
less Domino and the doughty champion
of the West. Clifford, were die con-
testunij. The financial prize was J5.000.
This was not the only slake. The
championship was really at issue.
Domino had beaten Henry of Na
varre and had also run a dead heat
with him. Clifford had suffered de
feat ut Domino's hands and had low
ered the colors of the unlucky Henry
of Navarre. In all of these finishes
they trad been only noses apart, and
eaaii horse had been driven to the ut
most limit of* endurance to best tho
othc, with ithc exception of Domino's
race with Clifford.
e-Sf* *" ,ere,t ln the mce was at fever
hern. Domino was the impukar Idol
and he was the favorite. Clifford was
also In more active domanrd ufofan Henry
of Navarre.
The bugle call summoned the equine
gladiators to the i>o#t at 4:30 o'clock,
Domino showing more temper than
utud und a decided reluctance to go
to the post, appeared hi the head of the
stretch. It took hla trainers quite s
little thne to move. Domino was greet
ed with terrific applause. Henry of
Navsrre did no creste any groa't en
thusiasm when he cantered slowly past
tne grand stand to show his colors.
Clifford came Inf or a burst of ap
plause.
The 25.000 persons that surged In
and about the lawns and grand stand
arose ss one person to greet him.
There were* everal minor breaks before
they got the signal to go. Domino cud
a slight udvantage over Henry of Na
varre, while Clifford was at their
heels. Domino at once began to force
the pace. It was his forte to tip-toe
Henry of Navarre from flag fall to
finish. He went: out to do this. It
seemckl to suit Henry of Navarre. He
went with him. Domino liad a lead of
a head at the first furlong post and
the pair were a length and a half be
fore CHfford. They raced up the Incline
and across the brew of the bill with
out the slightest change.
The pace ms terrffic snd the excite
ment Intense as they neared the home
stretch without any change. The water
towerw as passed and the were In the
long undulating home stretch. Domino
then trl)d to draw dear of Henry of Nr-
vnrre. but he wss unable to do so. Tne
chestnut hung to him with bulldog ten
acity. At the furlong post Domino began
to show signs of faltering.
Tata! began lo drive him. It was no
use. He struggled on under cruel goad
ing from Whip and »pur. His task, how
ever, was too much for him. Tsral sen
sibly u« tho futility of further perse-
verance snd gwve In.
••See Clifford." rang out before toe
gtoans which emanated from the throats
qf the Domino admirers as their Idol fell
from his pedestal, hail died away. Wltn
that wonderful space-devouring stride
that mad.' him famous, Clifford bounded
up til Henry of Navarre.
"He wins In a gallop." shouted every
one with the SMSa breath. The ery was
pimatiure. Clayton had not yet raUed
upon llcnry of Navarre. When Clifford
wot bis nos* la front Clayton settled down
to rkle Henry of Navarre. A desperate
struggle ensued Amid Intense excite-
ment Henry of Navarre slowly but surely
drew away from the doughty CHfford and
crossed the lino a winner by a length.
The result ms a disappointment, but vic
tor and vanquished alike were cheered.
It Is plsln thst Domino Is not a stayer.
The Allis were too severe a test for him.
The day wss one of the greatest in the
history of Morris Hark, both is regards
the slse and fashion of the crowd which
saw tho races The weather was also
perfect. ■»

held In tho coming election: For gov
ernor, David Bennett Hill of Elmira;
for lieutenant-governor, Daniel la>ck-
wood of Buffalo; Judge court of ap
peals, Charles F. Brown of Nctvlnug.
This result was accomplished after a
conference Ijstlug till day. In which
the members of Iho slate committee,
Senator Hill nnd the lead'd* of tho
party from all over the state letrlie!-
pated.
Nearly all of the ineiubcri of Iho
Democratic state committee arseuiblcd
at the headquarters at the 1’ark Ave
nue hotel at 11 o'clock tailny. They
fmtatl very liltlo to do, however, as
iho leaders of the party were houllng
a conference In the hotel In regard to
the tilling of the thlnl place ou tho
ticket. Finally Lieutenant-Governor
Sheehan announced that the committee
would Dominate Judge Charles F.
Brown of Newhurg for Judge of the
court of appeals. This was the result
of the all-day conference betwoeu Iho
lenders.
Then tho noriflcatlon committee,
heatlctl by MnJ. Hinckley, chairman
of the state committee, proceeded up
stairs to notify Heoator Hill anti .Mr.
Lockwood of their nominations.
Senator llill. Hanked on either sale
by Mayor Gilroy anil \V. Bourko Cock-
ran and followed by Mr. Jaickw-md
and the other mcinhctx of the notifica
tion committee, tni csooried to tho
committee room.
Thero was a clioer fr.vtn the assem
bled state committeemen as Hill en
tered the rootr II*- st'iod with ‘his
baek to the inantlepiece, holding some
manuscript m bis band. .Mr. Lockwood
stood on Mr. Hill's right, while grouped
in front were Mayor Gilroy, Delaney
Nlcoll, Bourke Cockran nnd the other
Tammany men.
Mr. Hill was then formally notified
by MnJ. ILncklcy of his nomination.
Ho bowed his head in acknowledgment
and a smile played over bis face. Then
Congressman Cockran stepped forward
and, standing In frout of .Mr. Hill, ad
dressed him. AS lie was speakiug his
big form swayed to and fro uud h.s
voice echoed through tho room In im
passioned accents.
"Senator llill," said Mr. Cockran,
“thu committee of notification ('finally

Then turning to Mr. Lockwo si. lie
said that lu tbo List election lie fought
under another leader than the gentle-

“In the days of our prosorlty," said
Mr. Cockran, "we could afford to have

past week'In eastern aff.m* will lead
to concerted act,on ou the part of Eu
ropean powers. Ou Monday last Mr.
N. It. O'Connor, the British minister
at X’ekin, warned the foreign office by
cablegram that tbe condition of affairs
In China was such that Uic government
was not able lo guarantee protection
ports and the missionaries lu the Inte
rior of the country.
The minister lu tho gam--* cablegram
stated that the Chinese imperial coun
cil was disorganised nnd that the col
lapse of the government was not looked
upon as au impossibility, and advised
that instant action be taken fur the
protection of Ihe l.vea and property of
British subjects lu China.
Tlie substance of his dispatch was
at once communicated by Lord Rose
bery to the goveramcals ut I'nince,
Russia aud Germany, with lltc sugges
tion that thu powers co-opnilo lu In
creasing the guard at the treaty ports
auil in m-*asures for tho protection uf
the mhsiouanvs.
When the cabinet in-*t on Thursday,
frleudly responses from all three uf
tho [lowers named had boon reclved,
aud these so thoroughly cleared up tho
simntiou as to enable the ministers lo
glte the premier :unl the Earl of Kim
berly, secretary of slate for foreign af-
fa-irs. ftee hand to take whatever steps
In the P'attcr they might consider nec
essary.
No question of Intervention between
Japan and Cltiu.i has arisen, however.
It is reported that preparations are
being made to send ln.inst additional

ports, and f.' 'lie pn-mt luleuti.m Is
carried oil!, paillainrol. >n rcu.tsem-
l llng. will bo to grant i ereili'
of 4,000,000 pounds to cover tl
iwnsos of tho expedition. Th*
of mediation bedween China and Japan
nre all widely (Uvergeet. Tho truth ef
tbe matter is that it Is the general be
lief In official circles that the members
of the cabinet are unanimously against
any foreign Interference, and, so far
ns Gre-it Britain is concerned, favor
allowing the Japanese to reap the full
fruits of their victory, uuless. of course,
they reek to Injure ihe commercial >n-
forests -if Europe.
Since the hop!log of he cabinet coun
cil. lwtruetlonis have been cabled to the
British minister at Pekin an-1 the Brit-
Uh consuls at all the treaty portit to
send to the mlmlon statlona In the In

The British committee or the Indian
national congress has Invited the Hon.
Edward Blake, M. P„ who Is now in Can
ada, to preside at the coming meeting ln
Madras. If Mr. Blake declines Michael
Davltt or John Dillon will be Invited to
preside. The Indian nationals desire to
Associate fhelr agitation with that of the
Irish as representing the same principles.
The lull In the factional strife ln the
Irish party Is merely u cloak to active
Internai intrigues. The Freeman’s Jour
nal keeps up Its attacks upon Tim Healy,
who Is credited with collecting evidence
to prove tlial the McCarthyltes have re.
pratedly received financial awdstance
from the English Liberals. Mr. Healy's
efforts are directed to destroying the In
fluence of Thomas Bexton and John Dil
lon In order to secure for himself the
leadership of the party upon the retire
ment of Justin McCarthy. The unity of
the party rests up- Mr. ricCaruiy.
