THE COMING RACES. The Breeder and
Sportsman, in speaking of the spring races to
take place in this city next week, says: 1--WE
are pleased to hear that the enterprise of the
people of Sacramento iE likely to be appre-
ciated, and that there will be fair represent
tation Of horses as a token that owners and
trainers are inclined to second the efforts of
the club. There is rot a city or town in Cal
ifornia that equals the capital in liberality,
and though the inhabitants Of Stockton are
spirited and full of vim, the Petaluma folks
active, intelligent, determined to take front
place in the race for breeding all kinds of
fine stock, more money can be raised in Sac
rsmento to further turf sports than any town
of its sizs in the whole country. Where all
do so well it appears invidious to make COM
parsons. There is not State in the Union
that can compare with California in fair
grounds, especially in frst-c,sss race-courses.
From Chico to Los Angeles there are tracks
celled in the cities of the East, and though
some OF them may have finer buildings, the
superiority Of the California tracks is so de-
cided So to call forth the praise of all those
who are conversant with the courses of the
country. 1t is unnecessary to eulogize the
Sacramento course, as it is conceded to be
one of the best, and now that the only
objection is TO be removed by increasing the
radius of the " first turn" those who
"growl at it would surely find fault with
duplicate of the Garden of Eden if that was
their dwelling-place. The Capital Turf Club
is doing its part to keep up an interest in the
spring meetingg.
LECTURE OF Miss WILLARD The first
lecture by Miss Frances E. Willard, Presi.
dent of the Womens Christian Temperance
Union, was given last evening at the Sixth.
street NJ. Z. Church, before very large
audience. The church was too small to &C.
cOmm0date all who wished to hear the speak
er, and many, after remaining at the outer
door short time, went away. The lecture
was very closely listened to by the audience,
and well received. Miss Willard is forcible
and direct speaker, and her treatment of the
subject of temperance includes methods and
arguments which bring the audience into
close sympathy with her reasoning. A meet
ing will be held this afternoon of the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union, at the
same place, at which Miss Willard and Miss
Anna Gordon will bs present. The lecture
this evening will be at the Congregational
Church instead of at the place heretofore az
nounced and will commence at half-past z.
Miss Willard will no doubt be greeted again
with an audience which will test the full ca
pacity OF the spacious church in which she is
TO speak.
