THE STATE FAIR RACES.
MEETING OF THE STATE BOARD OF
AGRICULTURE.


Board of Agriculture, held at their Office
in the Capitol building, there were
present President Larue and Directors Bo-
ruck, Boggs, Flint, Finegan, Hancock, New
ton, Rose and Shippee. The immediate
object of the meeting was to open and act
upon the entries to the stake races advertised
for the ensuing State Fair - nine running
stakes and two trotting stakes. The entries
closed on the 22d instant. When the Board
met in April to make up speed programme,
it was understo ood that the Pacific Coast
Blood Horse Association. whose members
own large proportion of the running horses
in the State, desired to propose a list of races
for this class of horses, and since at their re-
quest they had been allowed to do so the year
before, and the plan had worked satisfac-
torily, the Beard referred that paEt of the
programme to that Association, and only per-
fected the trotting side of the programme and
adjourned. The Secretary informed the
Blood Horse Association of the action of the
Board and that the sum of $1,000 net had
been placed at their disposal, with which
they were expected to make up fifteen run
ming races, to be run on alternate days
with the trotting races. This being
the amount set aside for the same
number of races last year, it was
understood the same amount and number of
races would be acceptable to the Association.
The Association, however, for some reason,
refused to accept the proposition of the
| Board, and special meeting of the Board
was called in May to prepare the running
side of the programme, at which meeting
| eleven running races were provided for-nine
stakes and two purses. With one exception
the races proposed were very similar to those
prepared by the Association and accepted by
| the Society last year. The exception was a
purse race. mile heats, three in five, for a
| purse of 81 000, five to enter and three to
| start; ten per cent. entrance; 500 to first
horse $500 to second and S100 to third dis
tance, 60 yards; entries to close the day be-
fore the race. From the time this programme
was published until after the closing of the
entries in the stakes, the Board had no init
| nation that the programme was not accepta-
| bic and satisfactory to the Blood Horse Asso-
citation and all its members.
