| cigars of the hoase of Stratton 4 Storm are
fully equal to the finest imported Havana
cigars. The firm employ none but the best
of white labor in their own factories, and
! their goods have stood successfully the test of
the great competition of the present day, and
their superiority is freely acknowledged, even
by rival manufacturers. A purchaser may
be safe in buying the cigars of any reputable
New York house. but why incur any risk
when the cigars of Stratton & Storm are so
well known on the coast as the purest and
best cigars that can be obtained

The next feature on the programme was
the most attractive, as it Involved social
pleasure and the most cordial desire for the
! success of each of the gentlemen by host
| of friends of each. 1t was the first genuine
attempt here to directly interest gentlemen
owning good roadster stock in exhibiting it
to the public in genteel competition and gen.
erous rivalry, to the end that the spirit of
emulation to possess good stock may be fos-
| tered. That the object is most commendable
cannot be questioned for moment. Its
most desirable that not all the attention of
breeders be addressed to the raising of
racing stock. This is admitted, and it
is Just as important that the people
| be shown, by practical exhibits, that it is
quite as cheap and in all ways more desira-
| bic, to own good stock for the road than to
| possess ordinary animals, and that those who
! have good roadsters are willing TO encourage
| the spirit referred to by giving public exhibi.
tions of their good qualities. The contest
was for gentleman's buggy stake for the
entrance money and $50 added. There was
entered BY Captain j. ID. Young b. z. Col
onel, by M. Toomey b. g. Robin Hood, and
by J. H. McNasser b. m. Mollie A. Robin
HOOD had the pole. Mollie second. The ami
mails were all good oues- and well.known
upon the popular drives of Sacramento,
hardly less so, indeed than the gentlemen
who own them, and who, Saturday, drove
them in the race referred to. 1t was a con-
| test for g drive of two miles out-a trial sni-
pie to test the driving qualities of each
animal entered. Although Captain Young
started third, was the heaviest of the drivers
| and had the heaviest rig. he drove Colonel
with such judgment that when the time came
for push he was ready and his horse equal
to it. This occurred on the last guarter-mile,
when the staying qualities Of the horses were
fairly tested and the going virtues Of all the
animals tried. Captain Young drove in win
ner in 5:4S leading his competitors WELL
The driving was good throughout, and each
| of the gentlemen was compimented, deserv-
eddy, for public spirit in inaugurstins at this
place this system of roadster exhibitions by
| the owners of animals, and before the
vehicles commonly in use upon the road
Mr.. Toomey was SECOND in the race.

This ended the races and the season. To
the surprise Of all, the officers Of the club re-
ported that the usual disaster has not over.
taken the club and that in fact it was lit
tie ahead Of its outgo for the season. This
gratifying result was due largely to the liber-
| atty of the citizens of Sacramento in SUBJ
scribing to the season, and which gave the
club confidence to go on and prosecute the
effort to have spring races here, in the face Of
SO many previous defeats.
