| State Fair visitors interested IN handsome
exhibits and happy surprises will find q
| leisure half. hour well placed by visiting the
store that first simplified the art of shop
| ping by introducing the one price business
| to this coast. That store has lived for
nearly twenty years in this community,
and after its time-tried and prosperous ca
reer, to-day fnds its business increased
| many fold, until the bulk OF its trade
nearly bursts the confines of its present
large building. Is not this pretty good
record to pin faith to? Thousands think
| so, as every hours business attests. We
speak of ihe Red House, ia and 716
street. 1t is there that you see fall styles
and goods IN abundance. Particularly at
| tractive at this season is the variety of Ia
| dies wraps, seal plush natty walking jack
cts as low as $40, and long saCques OF same
| at less than $40; the new style heavy
| Jersey cloth walking jackets, with high
| shoulders, pretty Astrakhan capes, etc.
| Cold types can do no justice to the dress
goods display. Hundreds and hundreds of
| bolts of new fall and winter styles, silk
pushes aud velvets of every color; boxed
com mbination fall suits, a handsome display
-one to set any lady of Taste a-longing,
| and at prices-you know the motto OF the
| hour: a nimble nickle catches the bulky
| dollar every time.
| There could not we'll be State Fair
| without the presence of Louis Whiting, the
veteran porter-at least, there probably
never will be one held without him until
| he dies. This contingency, however. is so
| remote that nobody has yet been thought
of as his successor, and it will not be an
easy matter to find any one to fill his place.
| Mr. Whiting has a home and family in
| Oakland, but he goes to every fair held in
the State, and is known from Siskiyou to
San Diego, etc. A judges stand on Cal
| ifornia track without him during racing
| meeting would look as if it had lost some
| thing. Louis is faithful, well-informed on
turf matters, and his services are always in
| demand.
The Garland ranges, which are displayed
| by L. L. Lewis 81 Co., are constantly inter
estng housekeepers and others.
AT THE PARK.
Andy Mcdowell, one of the best judges
| and handler of horsehesh on the Ameri
can turf, is now snugly quartered at Ag-
ricultural Park, in charge OF the famous
Salisbury Stables. The horses are little
out of fix Just now, occasioned by their
recent fatiguing trip from the East bat
after few days rest will be on deck again.
Cricket. the great filly, astonished the ma
tives in .he East this season, and accom-
plished more in the way of establishing
the Just claim of California to be the home
of the trotter, than any other horse ever
sent from the Pacific coast. While away
from home Cricket started thirteen times,
and always against aged horses, with
everything else combined to militafe
against her chances of success, and won
twelve of the races. and two heats in the
thirteenth. She will start here to-day,
but much is not expected of her as it is
hardly possible that anything now on the
track can make her go, since as is we'll
known she has record of 2:1O, and ex
pert horsemen say that in their opinion
she can go much faster; in fact, an
authority on turf matters was heard
to say that he would wager one
thousand dollars that she could beat john
son or any other flyer in the world. His
opinion was predicated on the fact that she
is as game an animal as has ever pulled a
trace and never loses her head which
makes her such formidable opponent in
any company. Owing to Mr.. McDowells
cool judgment and skillful handling Mar
garet s. landed the Horsemens stake,
which was rich prize this year. She is
yery speedy animal, and has record OF
2:123 in her four-year-old form, and 1t
would not be surprising to hear of her low
stable, however, is Direct, as fine speci-
men of horsehesh as was ever seen,
who trotted a mile as four-year
old in 2:184, but afterwards contracted
severe cold and is not at himself YET but
Just as soon as he can be brought around
you may expect a wonderful performance.
This stable has been more fortunate than
any other two stables leaving the coast this
year, having won over $4,000 in prizes,
and Mr.. Salisbury is to be congratulated
upon being so fortunate as to secure and
maintain the services of Andy Mcdowell,
who has certainly been instrumental in
bringing about such success, while. Of
course, admitting that what Monroe Sauls-
make any one wise. Ont at the Pleasanton
Stock Farm, where these horses were
raised. are several yearlings and sucklings
highly bred, and when they start and fail
to reach where the money is hung up, first,
it will be the fault of the driver and not
the horse, for if he will sit there and only
pilot, the horse will certainly lead him to
victory.
A reporter of the RECORD UNION yester-
day took stroll among the various stables
of horses now at Agricultural Park, with
the purpose in view of ascertaining, as
near as possible; the names of the exhibi-
tors, together with the number of horses
now being quartered at the track. Finding
it impossible to accomplish the desired OBJ
ject, on account of some of the owners
being absent, few of the high grade stock
will not be out of place TO mention. Mr..
F. w. Midgely, of Carbondale, has in his
stable four beautiful Percherons that would
attract attention in any gathering. First
to be spoken of is a deep bay mare, called
Mettle, which is the Oldest of the lot-eight
years. Next is beautiful dapple gray
filly, named Topsy, that is perfect pic
ture She is four years old, neat and COM
pactly built, weighing 1880 pounds, by
thoroughbred Percheron stallion out OF an
imported mare. He also has two younger
colts named respectively Perch, three years
old, and Mollie, one year old. Both these
youngsters are by thoroughbred, Perch
eron stallion; dam, an imported mare.
Mollie, although only yearling hiiy, Is
