SACRAMENTO, Sept. 14.-The stock parade
at the track yesterday was most interesting
and the largest ever seen in the State. So
great was the number of the animals
paraded that it was found necessary to
divide them into two sections, the horses
and the cattle. The horse division was led
by the Grand Marshal, C. ]. Cox, followed
by the carriage teams, with Colonel j. Nc
Nasser's sorrels at the head. Eight double
teams followed the leaders. The roadsters
followed. numbering fifty-one. Then came
the thoroughbreds, imported Cheviot lead
ing. Flambeau, Palo Altos great three
year-old. followed and then came Prince of
Norfolk All looked in the best kind of
show condition. With the brood mares and
colts fifty-two animals were in this division.
The standard trotters came next and lined
out exactly quarter of mile. Cleveland
bays, Clvdesdales, Percherons, NormanS and
horses of all work to the number OF 103
were next in the order of parade. A lot of
fine jacks and mules brought up the rear,
which made the length of the parade just
one mile and 200 yards.
lHE CAIILE.
The cattle followed the horses. E.
Younger'S herd of Durham's in the van,
followed by p. S. Childs' band. P. Peter
sons herd came mex, with p. H. Murphy's
following. The Heilbron herd was led by
a large bull, with little colored boy on his
back. The division was u remarkably fine
one and was of great excellence throughout
r. McEnespey's Devons were next, and then
came DR.. G. NJ. DiX0n'S band of polled
Aberdeens-a remarkably fine lot. j. E.
Camps and j. b. GibsOn's herds of the
same breeds followed. F. Ii. Burke's herd
of Holsteln's led that herd OF exhibitors,
and merits the cioSe attention of connOis-
seurs. Bonner, Brok d Co.'S band came
next, and then the Hall Stock Farms lot of
Holstein-FreisanS. G. B. PolhemuS' good
herd was also in tie line. &. Bemant'S
lot of graded milch COWS followed, and
then came the excellent herds of Jerseys
owned by l.. +. Eaton, DR.. Nichols and 4.
Ward. fine gathering of graded
cattle brought up the rear and the parade
was closed up by the COW, owned in Sacra-
mento, that made somewhat OF local SEN
sation few weeks ago by presenting her
owner with three fine heifer calves at one
accouchenent. Taking the two divisions of
the parade. it measured up together over
two miles, a remarkably good showing for
the stock interests OF the State.
FLOWING BY STEAM.
An eXlllDlllOn OF vital interest to farmers,
working as 1t does almost complete revo-
luton in The present method of plowing,
will take place On Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday mornings at the Cayle ranch, two
miles from the city, near Whisky Hill Six
steam traction engines that are on eXhibi-
ton at the fair, will contend in PlOwing
match and large gangs of plowS will be run
by each engine. If the results obtained are
favorable, the expenses of preparing and
planting lands will be SO much reduced that
the granger's day of jubilee may be at once
proclaimed.
TIE COWBOYS RACKET.
Tomorrow morning there will be lots of
fun at the track. The cowboys OF the State
will give an exhibition of their skill in
riding wild bIonchoS, lassoelng cattle and
their general expertness in those feats in
which the cowboys of the wild and fuzzy
Mexican riders from the San joaquin
ranges have come up to pit themselves
against the white rough riders, and they
have brought with them lot of the
meanest, unnamed horses that ever bucked.
These are for the special benefit of the
white boys. and as the rivalry between
the Mexicans and the other division is
red hot, most exciting time is expected.
Half the town VIII be at the track to see
the exhibition.

afternoon and evening. There are fifty
artists in the band all of whom are special
lists ON their several instruments. The
Liberati Band will not play at the track.
HIGH ART.
The picture gallery at the Pavilion has
many gems of art that, Sheerly through
their their unblnshins lack CT merit, ale at
tractive. The daubs this year largely out
number last years display, which was then
supposed to have concentrated the very
worst lot that ever came together.
HARD ON HORSES.
Trainers now say that, Willie the track is
very fast, still that it is the hardest on the
horses that they have met yet on the cir
cut. 1t is said by them to be cuppy, dead
and without spring, and to test horses
staunchness to the utmost. They claim that
the track will make any horse come back in
three heats if lie is given hard contests.
ANYTHING To MAKE MONEY.
A lottery scheme publication that is try.
ing desperately to iorce itself and lot of
cast-iron premiums down the throats of an
unwilling public, has apparently made {,
picture combination with the Morning
chef d'oeuvre and the 5-cent beer-Sal0on,
bear hunt, world beater. To-day it pub
fishes pictures of a lot of cart-hnrses taken
by special camera artist, and labels it
Herd of Galloway Cattle" While not
COW. bull or calf is recognizable, still the
animals depicted might be mistaken for
some cast-offs from horse breeding establish
ments, which the publication is Offering as
prizes in their lottery scheme, with wild
valuations varying from S2500 for two
legged colt up to other fancy figures.
