AUGUST RACES.
THE PROGRAMME AS FINALLY
ARRANGED.
Winners-Entries to Close on the First
Day of July.

The directors of the Sixth District
Agricultural Association are determined
to ensure the success of their eleventh
annual fair, which will be held here
during the week of August 4th to 9th
inclusive, and special attention has been
given to the programme of the races to
be held at that time under the auspices
of the association. In the first place
double the amount of the purses at the
last fair is offered on this occasion, and
the stakes are now such as to offer in
ducements to every horseman in the
state to enter his animals. This does
not apply alone to the running horses,
but also to the trotters, which are
equally well provided for, and the meet
ing should excel any former one ever
held in Southern California, and the
action of the association in this djrec-
ton will doubtless bear good fruit.
The programme, as approved at the
last meeting of the board, is as follows:
