SPEED CONTESTS.
Rico Runs a Good Race, Making a Mile
in the East Time of LAG.

Yesterday witnessed another large crowd
at the race-t track. The weather was cool
and delightful, and the five running events
were well contested.
The first race of the day was the Califor-
MIA annual stake for two-year-olds. 1t
closed in 1888 with thirty-five subscribers
The entries were Fellowcharm, Flambeau
and Kiro. Pools sold at $50 for Flambeaui
Fellowcharm $S and Kiro S..
The colts had very good send off. Kiro
led to the quarter, when Flambeau passed
him and led by length to the half, with
Kiro and Fellowcharm running neck and
neck. Around the upper turn and into the
homestretch these positions were main
tanned. Coming home the riders of Kiro
and Fellowcharm piled the whip, but all
to no avail, for the son of Wild Idle pulled
away and won hands down by two lengths
from Fellowcharm, in 1:43, Kiro several
lengths to the rear.
