Good Sport and Excellent Results
Recorded.
The people Of Ventura, not to be be-
hind their neighbors in their efforts to
celebrate the Glorious 4th, marked its
advent by a most successful and enjoy
able race meeting, and one which the
flower of three counties graced by their
presence. Not less than 1000 people
congregated on the pretty seaside track
on the afternoon of the Fourth, and
some very inte, esting racing was wit
messed. The first event, half mile dash,
was won by Mr.. P. Doenalick's Nepiano,
handsome chestnut two-year old geld
ing. 1t was great race be-
tween him and his only opponent,
Captain H. H. Fields chestnut filly.
Cenoyia, not more than neck separ-
ating the pair at any time during the
race. The Los Angeles jockey, Clifford,
was much applauded for the manner in
which he handled the winner, end it was
chiefly owing to his fine riding that Mr..
Dornalech scored his first success. The
trotting events excited considerable in
terest and every one went home satisfied
Thursday afternoon thanks to the good
card offered by the management, quite
fifteen hundred people visited the track
and were well rewarded for their atten-
dance. The chief event of the day was
a mile dash, in which were entered
three of the best horses in the State.
Mr.. E. R. Den's handsome stallion
Consuello proved the winner, but it
was only after hard struggle with Mr.,
P. Dornalech's black gelding Del. The
looser was by no means fit and his owner
confident of his colts superiority, inn
mediatels challenged the owner Of the
winner to run the horses a mile race
over course to be afterwards decided
upon, for $1,000 side. The offer was
accepted and one OF the greatest races
ever seen west of the Rocky Mountains
will be the result. The afternoons sport
was of very high order and the manage
ment grati6ed with the success of the
meeting intend to give another in the
Fall at which they will offer $1,000 in
purses. Betting was exceedingly brisk and
between $1,000 and $4,000 passed
through the pool-box which was under
the personal supervision of Messrs. Cow
arrubias and Noyes of Los Angeles. The
amiabie and popular president of the
Ventura Jockey Club Mr.. T. Christman
made an excellent Clerk of the Course
and under his able management every
thing passed off satisfactory.
