eral Running Stakes for ISS9-9O.
The desire of many breeders and owners
OF thoroughbred horses to return and race
on this coast after the closing of what is
called the Western circuit, i. e., Louisville,
st. Louis and Chicago, and to encourage
the continued increase in the breeding of
this class of horses, has induced the Direct
ors OF the State Agricultural Society to
oiier three rich stakes for two and three
year -olds, to be run at the State Fair of
1889. and two three-year-old stakes to be
run in $780,
These events, with one exception are for
entries or colts in their yearling form. The
exception is for two-year- olds, in order
that there may be large stake for three
year olds in 1889.
These events will be continued and
others added each year, so that after few
seasons nearly all the principal running
events for the State Fair will have closed
Whlie the colts are yearlings, thereby
placing all on an equal footing, SO that SUI
perlor breeding and proper training shall
be the test at the age named in these
events. This plan has built up and made
valuable stakes IN nearly every State East
whereas II they waited until the colts were
tried, the entries would have been so to 60
per cent. less. These stakes are so arranged
as 10 permit declarations at stated times, at
such figures as will permit the withdrawal
OF colt for a small payment, all of which
swells the fund.
ms system is what has made Young
horses so valuable, as the stakes to be run
Tor are growing with the animal. as it
We're, and, with the added money, gives
the fortunate owner of the winner hand
some return for his investment. Then, in
addition, colts entered in such events out
sell those OF the same breeding that have
no engagements.
On Saturday last yearling colt, the full
brother of the celebrated Hanover, was
sold under the hammer at Raceland, XIV,
Tor $500. The breeder of this character
OF horses should feel proud at receiving
such prices. There's plenty room at the
top, and California breeders are earnestly
struggling for the goal. which is not far
distant. The stakes opened for 1889 are as

The offering of these stakes will cause
horses that have engagements therein, and
at the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Fall Is eet-
ing, to return after running in the Western
Circuit in MAY AID June. Engagements in
these events will iCsure the attendance of g
large field Of horses that will fill other
races, thereby increasing the number of
starters each season; and the class of horses
that will take part will have much to do
with placing our racing on such footing as
to merit the Endorsement of the public.
California is fast assuming the lead in the
breeding of thoroughbred stock, and the
action of the Directors of the State Agri-
cultural Society in this additional encour-
agement is commendable in the extreme.
The entries to these stakes will close with
the regular programme on August 1, 1888.
