SAN JOSE, Aug. 13.-There was a large
crowd at Agricultural Park this morning to
witness the grand parade of horses and cat
tie which took place at 10 o'clock. Many
had assembled before that hour, and passed
the time in inspecting the stock on exhi-
bition. The grand parade began promptly
at the hour fixed for it. 1t was witnessed
by a considerable number of people, among
whom were many ladies in the grand stand
and large coterie in the clubhouse. There
was also large number of people in car
riages.
Judging from the crowd which assembled
at the race-track at o'clock, it would seem
that running races are popular. Pool sell
ling was lively and spirited. Sports from
all parts of the State were present, and put
up their money freely on the various events
of the day.

. sweepstakes, for all ages, three-quarters of
a mile. There were ten entries, but only
four started. These were Owen Brothers
Daisy D, Z. S. Montgomery's Alfarata,
Percy Williams Retta Is and J. J. Dolan's
Revolver. In the pools Revolver and Daisy
were sold at nearly equal rates Just be-
fore the race Daisy d stock rose and she
became slight favorite. Daisy d won by
a length in 1;15, Afarata and Revolver
ran dead heat for the second place and
divided the money between them, Retta b
was fourth.

lam Booths Duke of MilDitas, and Owen
Brothers Nero. Each carr ed 10 pounds.
In The pools Kyle bTl U mi $50, theiDuke Of
Milpiias S4O and Nero SIS. W hen the
. horses were brought to the track the Duke
furnished an imprOmptu circus. He backed,
pitched, sidled and jumped, and showed
a wicked desire to do anything except
TO start. His jockey could do nothing with
him. nor could the men who went to the
Jockeys assistance do much. After having
pranced all over the track, the Duke bolted
for his stable and il required the assist
Rnce OF three or four men to bring him to
the track again. For half an hour the cir
Gus went on before a start was made. kyle
won in :50h, Duke second.

purse, mile heats, for which there were
started p. Williams Tycoon, carrying liz
