of the association were in personal super
intendence, and started the races with 6
promptness that fairly took the breath of the
traditional "last people" who are attending
races in such large numbers. For years il
has seemed to be impossible to start race in
California, especially at Sacramento, at the
advertised hour, and the public has come to
consider it a rule that when o'clock is named
it will be time enough to see the race If the
track is reached at 8. This habit has been
justified by the laxity of race managers. The
Blood horse Association has adopted the
military rule of SHARP" and apply it with
even greater stringency, for even the military
of this State have fallen into the execrable
habit of being late, and this to an extent which
has deprived sharp" of much of its mean
ing. The first race was the Sacramento Bee
stake. 1t was for two-year-olds, $50 p, Sl25
added, second to save stake; dash OF half a
mile. These horses started Baldwin's CHI. f.
Anita, by Rutherford, her dam Maggie EN-
erson same owners b. f. Sunday, by Mon
day, her dam Pele, and Winters Oh. f. Ma
mie Hanlon, by Norfolk. her dam Matte A.
Betting was light. Baldwin's stable sold for
$40 to IS. Anita had the pole, Hanlon Sec
ond. Anita led, followed by Hanlon, with
Sunday well back. At the head of the stretch
Sunday took the pole calamity, and won BY
two lengths in 5199, with Hanlon bad third.
The race, while well run, did not excite great
enthusiasm.

The second race was the Capital Hotel
| stake, free for all, for one and one-eighth
miles. Jennie B. and Fred Collier only
went, with Jennie at the pole. The betting
stood on Jennie $40 to S14 on Fred, and $50
to $40 The race proved to be very fine
one They started even and splendidly, and
ran for all the event was worth. Jennie led
slightly at the score. Collier came squarely
abreast with her at the quarter pole, and
| forged ahead slightly at the approach to the
half The animals showed clearly, as they
rounded the head of the course, that the
track, as was alleged, is heavy there, and on
the back stretch the dust and sand, it being
stated, quite deep. The horses came into the
stretch under the whip and going splendidly
for the winning post. Collier put his nose
ahead at the three-quarter pole, and
kept it there, despite Jennie's efforts
to prevent it. 1t was Fred's race clearly at
the draw gate, and he took it by good
length in 1:574, the mile in 1:44I. AS 1:53a
is the race time, the race was properly voted
terest and which awakened the spectators to
enthusiasm.

ters' Duke of Norfolk. three years, los
pounds; Skaters Haddington, four years.
80 pounds, and Boots Coombs, SO pounds,
with Al pounds overweight. In the pools
this race had more attention than any other
Clara D. was the favorite at $40, $40 and $50,
to Dukes S1S, S22 30 and $50, and So, 81
and S11 for the field. Coombs had the pole,
Clara second and Haddington third. The
race was as good one as the most ardent
lover of turf sports need desire to see. They
went off well together, but Clara ID. early led
with Duke of Norfolk and Haddington next
and together and Coombs just behind. They
passed the score at fine speed and entered
the back stretch well together, Clara, however,
still leading. On the first turn Haddington
showed more speed, and as they came to the
last turn he ran up close to the leader, whom
Norfolk had already joined company with.
At the three-quarter pole Norfolk fell back,
and Haddington for moment went beside
the mare, and Coombs got well up into the
bunch, but in .he next hundred yards it was
settled that the contest was between Clara
D. and the Duke. They came to the score
in hard struggle for the lead, which Clara
d. took by nearly half length, Norfolk
second, Haddington third, Coombs a rather
undesirable fourth, but evidently not having
striven for a better place since passing the
three-q1arter pole. The time was 2:24a.

The next was selling purse, dash of one
and quarter miles. Horses sold for 81, 900,
highest valuation, to carry regulation weights
Deduction of two pounds for every 500 less
valuation than $1,000. Any horse starting
might be claimed, and if claim was made, had
to be put up at auction and the surplus
divided equally between the Association and
the owner of the second horse. Three en-
tered in the race, and they had position as
follows: Oh. g. Rondo, four years, $3.50
valuation b {. Minnie Norris, three years.
$500; br. f. Winnifred, three years, 81, 600.
The pool-buyers were active and the sales
good, with Rondo at $40 to $40 for the field.
The race was good one. 1t had an unex-
pected outcome. Rondo would not lead and
on the homestretch sulked, leading many to
think that George Howson rode badly. He
admits he changed his mind suddenly while
irving to pull Rondo outward, and this may
have had something to do with the result.
Winnifred led, with Rondo second. They
went about the course in that position, Nor
ris being left well to the rear. Winnifred
won in 2:142 There was some delay in the
announcement, owing to Howson protesting,
but his complaint, whatever it was, was over
ruled.
