Park in this city: "The only public
courses where many race-horses are re
ceiying their preparatory gallops are
those at Sacramento and Oakland.
The former has been put in better order
than it has bean for the past three years.
and the trainers are all delighted with the
chance it gives them and now that the
weather has been prOpitious, and with good
promise of remaining favorable, the Agri-
cultural Park domiciles cannot grumble at
the situation. Before the last rains the track
at Sacramento was plowed to a uniform depth
of ten inches, the furrow slice only six inches
to insure every portion being turned over. 1t
was left in this shape SO that the soil would
become thoroughly aersted, and thus the heavy
showers settled it into the proper con-
sistencs. After that the harrow mellowed the
surface, and it is pronounced level, springy,
and with good bottom, smooth as a billiard
table and as fast as chain-lightnipg.' It Is
very little trouble to keep that track in order
after such thorough preparation. and the
Agricultural Society having retained the con-
troll of it, the Secretary will be sure TO see
that there will be no cause for the complaints
which had a good basis last year. This has
always baen favorite place with the trainers,
and, with the assurance of the ground being
kept in order, it is not likely to lose its old
time reputation. There are now Fred Col
lier, sister to Lottery, Minnie Norris, Sam
Boring, and number of youngsters which
have to win their credentials, and thus com.
pei christening, for the rules make it in
perstiye that a race won must be followed by
distinctive appellation."
