servers that the racing, both in the harness
and running divisions, all through the State
circuit this year is much behind past sea-
sons in quality and interest.
POOR ONES THIS YEAR.
The admission must he made that there is
nothing racing now on the Coast equal to the
class of horses that took part in last years
circuit. At the State Fair where the best
horses always concentrate, this was especi-
ally noticeable. The reason for the decline
is easily found in the fact that the money to
be won in the East.is so much greater and
easier to secure that owners OF good stock
prefer to go across the mountains, where
they can do the best for themselves, and in
this they are perfectly justified and show
good sense.
THE STOCKTON FAIR.
Stockton closed its fair last Saturday.
The meeting was not very largely attended,
and tie fields were very small. Some sharp
upsets occurred in the running events; the
trotS were nearly all one-sidpd, and of but
little general interest. Tomorrow Fresno's
meeting will open and as the Directors have
been very liberal with their purses some
good racing will be, no doubt, had.
