The Fair at stockton-stsck Parade
Races,

extensive, and highly creditable. The classes
of draft, roadsters and horses of all
work were well filed. Probably greater
quantity of valuable horsehssh has never be-
fore been exhibited at any fair in California.
The racing programme for this afternoon has
been entirely changed, and the contests ex-
cite much interest, as is attested by the i'm
mense concourse of people present to witness
them. The fair, in a strictly agricultural
point Of visw is lacking in many features
that might have been made both interesting
and profitable to the practical farmers. but
there can be no question of the exhibition
proving a grand success in a financial point
of view.
