About one hundred runners of all ages are
stabbed at the Park, and their stalls extend
srouDo to point opposite G street to the
cattle stalls. One hundred and thirty-two
head Of cattle occupy the stalls north and
east OF TIE machine grounds. The exhibit of
sheep, goats, swine and poultry are in pens
and coops just north of toe machinery ex
hibits The exhibits are frst.class, but that
of sheep and goats is smaller than that of last
year All of the machinery at the Park was
in motion yesterday. The large thrashing
machine of Baker x Hamilton, run by a
straw. burning engine, and the sawmill of II.
P. Gregory & Co., attracted the greatest at
tention.
At 1890 A. NJ. a large company assembled
to witnes, the exhibition of the first tricycle.
brought to the valley. There were not less than
1000 ladies and gentlemen on the grounds
and in the stands, to most of whom the three
wheeled vehicle was q novelty, and among
whom it awakened much curiosity. The tri-
cycle was propelled by the agent, l.. M. Sut-
ton, of San Francisco, who exemplihed the
mode of operating it. A large number of
citizsns then tried their feet upon the pedals,
and nearly all with success. The ladies de-
clined to undertake a ride on it in presence of
such crowd Messrs. Scheld, Flint, Brown,
Hawley and Marvin, of the Sacramento BIZ
cycle Club, appeared with their wheels aud
rode beside the tricyclist, and subsequently,
operated the vehicle themselves. They also
gave some examples of fancy bicycle riding.
There was no racing, there having been no
announcement Of or arrangement for it, and
the track being too soft when used for horses
The Races.
The excellent programme of yesterday 3
RACES drew out a very large attendance of
spectators, there being not less than 5000
people on the grounds 1t was not only q
good third day, but on exceedingly good one
40 far as the number of spectators was con-
cerned. Tie stands were well filed, the
hitching paddock alive with vehicles, ard the
quarterstretch lobby and training stretch well
populated. The interest in the races
this year seems TO be augmented by the
fact that the horses are, with scarcely an ex-
ception, homo products. California racing
programmes are now made up exclusively in
many instances of California bred aud raised
stock, and they are constantly clipping the
records of the best flyers east of the Rockies.
Formerly the presence of California racer
was an exception. Evidently that day has
gone BIZ. California racers have done so well
in the past few years that this State can send
out on circuit now a corps Of runners and
trotters which it can with pride and conf
deuce challenge the world TO defeat or even
produce their equals. Yesterday an admirer
