AT THE PARK.

The weather yesterday was very pleasant,
cool breeze blowing from the south. The
attendance at the Park to witness the ladies
tournament was the largest of the fair. All
the stands were crowded, as was also the
tracks, and the paddock was never so full
of vehicles. The lady contestants were all
handsome, good riders and elegantly
mounted. Their riding was graceful, and
as each passed the stand, they were loudly
appiauded. The riding was so unexception-
ably good that each out of the nine con-
testants had hundreds who were willing to
wager that she would take the first prize.
All the ladies who participated reside in
this city, except Mrs. De Pue and Miss
Chisholm, who live in Oakland, and Miss
Moore, of Chico. The judges after much
elaboration, awarded the prizes in the fol-
lowing order: Miss Nellie Ryan, first ::
Mrs. Cannon, second; Mrs. De Pue, third !;
Miss Belle Ellis. fourth Miss Haskell
fifth: Miss Cleo. Cooper, sixth Mrs. Geo
i. Bates seventh; Miss Moore, Chico
eighth; Miss Chisholm, Oakland, ninth.
THE RACES.
The first on the programme was the I'M
finished race of Thursday, between Shaker
and Maude, each having two heats 1t was
so generally conceded that Maude would
win that no pools could be sold. The
horses were very evenly started, Maude
leading around the first turn by three
lengths, and the quarter by eight Maude
gained on Shaker until in the homestretch,
she slowed down, and won by several
lengths in pa, which gave her the first
third, and fourth money, $500, Shaker the
second, $500.
