farm, in Lake county, and for which last

| adjoining.
In stall 296 is Louie Ruble's imported
black Percheron stallion Solon, brought
from France by II. Wilsey. of Petaluma.
and what is known in France as an ap-
proved horse, diploma issued by the
French Government certifying to that fact
being on exhibition with the horse at the
stall. He is without doubt one of the
finest, if not the very finest, of his class
ever seen on this coast. Mr.. Ruble also
shows handsome dappled gray Norman
stallion, Damala, imported in 1884, and a
span of three-year-old colts, sired by the
latter, all of which are in stalls adjoining.
Damala won second premium at the State
Fair held here in 1886.
R. ]. Merkley again brings the brood
mare Fanchon, that attracted so much at
tention last year, together with her four
colts. For the information of those not
already acquainted with this family
we will mention that Fanchon is a black
mare, fifteen-sixteenths Percheron ard
nine years old. She is entered in draft
class other than Norman, Percheron or
Clydesdales. She has been bred to pure
Percheron stock and the colts are all a
S1-32 grade. The three-year. old is a stall
lion, the others fillies, and excepting the
yearling, all are as black as coal and shine
like niggers heel. In addition are shown

lion of his class in 1888, and dappled gray

Wilbur f. Smith has a large number of
horses under his management, which are
kept at his private stable, on Twentieth
street, opposite the grand stand, sixteen of
which are entered as standard trotters.
One of the best evidences of this drivers
popularity is the number of horses he has
always in training. The bare recital of the
names and pedigree of bis horses includes
representatives of the best trotting blood
upon the coast His especial pride is the bay
stallion Calabar, by Guy Wilkes, dam Rose
dale, by Sultan. He is 2 years old, grand
horse in size and form, and very fast In
the next stall is Thapsin, 2:222, by Berlin.
This stanch and sturdy trotter starts in
the 2:23 class. The rest of Mr.. Smiths
stable comprise SO many excellent horses
and colts that extensive comment would
exceed the bounds of this article. The
names and pedigrees are as follows Oh. C.

Almont; br. C. Escort, year, by Antevolo.

Another general attraction is stall SO.
north of the grand stand, where is stabbed
the famous California standard trot;ing
stallion Berlin, the property of II. S. Beals.
Berlin is a black horse with decided
sprinkling of gray hair in his coat. He
was foaled in 1878, the property of E. H.
Miller, Jr. 1t is no more than Justice to
say that Berlin is one of the T. ost valuable
stock horses in the State. In whatever
goes to make up a good roadster his get
have those qualities unexcelled. His colts
are eminently sound. They are tractable,
nervy and game. Berlin was a trotter
himself, having a record of 2:321 His sire
was Blackbird, 2:22, and his dam the great
mare Addie Lee, 2:36l Addie Lee pro.
duced speed from several different stations,
being the dam of Adair, 2l74; Grace Lee,
2:29; Adalia, 2:27; so by inheritance Berlin
has right TO sire speed. He has had no
fair chance to show his trotting prepotencv
with equal mates, yet he has sired Kate

of his age can still show thirty" gait for
his owner upon any occasion. He won
first premium at the State Fair last wear
over all competitors for best standard trot-
ter four years old and over, and is again
entered in the same class. Mr.. Beals sold
a two, ,year-old colt last spring, although
scarcely broken, for $500 to fill special or
der from Japan, the selection being made
by Mr.. Mackey of Rio del Paso. 1t is such
horses as Harry" Beals' Berlin and Theo-
| dore Winters Norfolk that has placed
racing and breeding on the coast where il
stands to-day.
TO DAYS RACES.
For the 0ccident stake but one entry has
been paid up, that of Sunol, the wonderful
Palo Alto Ally. 1t will, therefore, be a
walk-over for her, but she may possibly be
driven to show what she can do, if in good
form.
The 2:23 trot comes next, with q field OF
eight. Most of them have come together
at the district fairs, and an excellent race
may be looked for.
The 2:50 class (paciDgl has filled with
good horses, nine in number, and some OF
