Special TtUgram. Domino has thrown a splint, but the public will be glad to learn that tbe trouble is of a very trifling nature. Domino is not asked to do anything at present and his astute trainer can be relied upon when his first great stake engagement calls him to the post, to have him there In perfect condition. Domino was not a sound horse when he came to Mr. Lakeland's hands, yet he went through a campaign East and West which would have tried a horse with a far more rugged constitution.

It must also be remembered that Domino's last race last season was his greatest, when he ran six furlongs in every quarter in 0:23. Domino was a broken-down horse fifty times last year If reports could be believed. JUDGE BURKE WILL BE MANAGER. St. Lonls Directors Make Hint the Autocrat of tha Fair tironnds Meeting.

WELCOMED BY THE MAYOR Oratory Introduces the Game to a Howling Crowd. Mr. Johnson's Curves Hammered for the Necessary Runs When Needed. Uncle Anson's all-conquering band went to Hammond, yesterday, and scalped the local team by a narrow margin. That was not so remarkable the Hammonds had never played before, and the Colts let them down gently but the circumstances preceding and connected with the game afforded more rollicking amusement than half a dozen scheduled contests with the champion Bostons or tbe heavy-hlttlng Pittsburgh When the Colts reached Hammond, tbe mayor, aldermen, and other dignitaries turned out to welcome them.

Accompanied by an aliened brass band, and followed by most of the male population, the visitors then rode to the principal hotel, where a banquet was served. With tha. free-hearted generosity that ever marks his character. Captain Anson not only fed his players, but feasted the cranks who came with the team from Chicago and charged the bill to the Hammond Club. At 2:15 tbe teams rode proudly to the park, where some two thousand people were assembled.

Here the clubs were lined up on the groon and Mayor O'Keiily delivered a speech of welcome which nobody heard and which was frequently Interrupted by such suggestions as, "Come over here and say it again'' from the bleachers. City Attorney Gregory next orated and endeavored to prove that ball was played on the south plateau of Mount Ararat after tbe ark Btruck bottom, a statement which Captain Anson who wus there at the time aud saw It gravely corroborated. Catcalls and hilarious hootines from the grand stand finally drowned him out. and he concluded by Introducing "America's greatest ballplayer, Cuptuin Hansen." Uncle bowed and said that there had already been too much oratory therefore, the irame should begin. As to the game itself it was not startling in its beauty or praiseworthy as an exhibition.

piled up three runs, mainly on errors, big enoiiHh to ko to bed in the dark, before the Colts woke up. Then, in the third inning, they jumped on young Mr. Johnson, the Hammond pitcher, and. by virtue of successive hits bv Camp, Dahlen. Wllmot.

GRIFFIN AND GRIFFO WILL FIG II T. The Bralntree Lad Is Well and Will Meet the Australian. The dispatches received from the East by the backers of young Griffo report that the match between the Australian feather-weight and Johnny Griffin will surely occur on the date set. The report that Griffin was too sick to enter tbe ring was wholly erroneous, and the Bralntree lad will be on hand to meet the clever Antipodean April 23. Prom some unknown source the rumor was started that Griffin was sick.

This report was supposed to influence the betting on the result. Boston sporting men are very much divided as to the outcome the match. Griffin has his own following In Boston, but Griffo' fame has preceded him and there will be no lack of his friends at the ringside, In a communication received by Hughey Behan yesterday, the party in charge of Griffo states that his man is in excellent shape. Griffo Is taking regular work and will doubtless have several pounds off when he enters the ring. Griffin's friends are not prepared to bet any great amount of money on their man's chances, according to report, unless they can eet decidedly the bout of the price.

Chicago parties sent quite a sum of money East to be placed on Griffo at even money. The Eastern contingent is evidently afraid of the Chicago mun and are not prepared to take a great chance on the outcome of the match. Griffo will have an advantage in the weiuhts over bis adversary. Wben It was reported Monday night that Griffin would be nnable to keep his contract with Griffo the friends of George Lavigne attempted to have their man replace Griffin. Kcply was received that the Eastern man would be on hand to go the distance.

Tbe meeting convened this morntnir in tbe New Vork Life Building, and after a short address by tbe pre siding officer business was at once proceeded with. Comprehensive reports were submitted by Secretary Cobban and other officers of the association and tbe results of the year were thoroughly discussed by various members. During the meeting it developed that 103 reratings were made in the towns and cities of the three States last year, besides the revisions. Tbe most important matter to come be fore tbe body today was the adoption of a new constitution and by-laws, the principal feature of which was a change from monthly to quarterly meetings. Tbe ex ecutive committee, however, will meet monthly and the secretary will be a salaried officer and will be given a permanent position, devoting bis entire time to the duties of the office and giving personal at tention to all the rate-making in the terri tory covered by tbe association.

Mr. Kneutson may mean well enough, bnt thus far his efforts have been principally antagonistic to tbe views of experienced underwriters. LIFE INSURANCE MEN BANQUET.
