The SPRING MEETING.
A GRAND LOT OF ENTRIES sURPAss-
ING STATE FAIR EVENTS.
The Inaugural Affair is Already an As
sured success-Complete List
of the Entries.

The entries for the coming spring meet
| ing which is to be the first beld under the
auspices of the State Agricultural Society,
closed on Monday, the 7th instant, and
were yesterday opened and made public by
Secretary Smith. In numbers and quality
they exceed the usual entries made at the
! fall meetings of the Society, thereby show
ing that the new departure on the part of
the Society was in keeping with the desires
of the breeders and owners of thorough
breds in general.
| The naming OF the class of horses to be
! found among the entries insures meeting
of more than ordinary extent, and one that
| will attract the attention of not only turf
patrons, but the public in general. The
amount of stakes to be contested for ag-
gregate S25, 5,000-a sum greatly in excess of
| the usual local spring meetings. The pub
lic-spirited citizens of Sacramento, recog-
nizing the advantages possessed by Sacra-
| mento for the permanent establishment of
grand spring race meeting on scale in
keeping with California's position in the
| livestock world, resolved to assist in
| financial way 10 that end. The State Agri-
| cultural Society readily consented to take
| charge of, conduct and maintain these
meetings annually if sufficient encourage
ment was offered by the aid above referred
| to. That they have done their share thus
far is evidenced by the encouragement rem
dered by the horsemen in general by max
| ing liberal entries to the events announced.
| The conditions of these various stakes
| and purses are so formulated as to make
each separate contest if taken part in by
the same animals. The distances and
weights are changed in each instance,
| thereby making a different character of
contest each time. The numerous handi-
caps in this programme where animals are
SO weighted as to equalize their chances,
makes the result uncertain and correspond
| ingy interesting.
The subscription to these stakes by such
breeders as Senator Leland Stanford, L. u
| Shippee, L. ]. Rose, H. l. Thornton, G. T.
Boots, Senator Hearst and Others, insures
contests above reproach and where merit
alone will achieve success.
| The meeting will be exclusively a run
ming, or in turf parlance, what is called
| race" meeting. This is not done with
disparaging view towards the tro t .er or PAGER,
but simply to give the public an entertain
ment OF the most fitting character at this
season of the year. 1t is not practicable this
early to hold trotting meeting as the bet
i
stud, the youngsters out of training, leav-
| ing but few campaigners to fill all events
that could be given, as owners of any
| promising trotter or PAGER would not at
| tempt to give his animal record prior to
the opening of the big circuit in the fall.
Consequently it has been shown by expert
ence that public interest is centered wholly,
at this time OF the year, on the heety
"bapg-tails." From indications at hand,
Secretary Smith informs US that he would
not be surprised at seeing as large an
attendance at this meeting as is common
| during the State Fair. The interior, as
| we'll as the newspapers of the metropolis
and this city, have given this proposed ex-
pertinent their support, believing an addi-
| lional attraction of this character would
greatly enhance the value of our State for
| breeding purposes, as the more opportuni-
| ties there are 10 race the more extensive will
| be these interests, and for which California
is peculiarly adapted.
| The Executive Committee of the State
| Board, who have the management of de-
| tails in charge, have resolved TO not issue
| season tickets, but fix the admission at the
rate usually charged at all first-class meet
ings al 81, including grand stand and quar-
| terstretch privileges. Life members will,
of course, be furnished with their usual
| tickets of admission, but complimentaries
will be confined exclusively to members of
| the press. AS this meeting has no re-
sources but its own to meet, the expenses at
| tendant on this rule will be rigidly observed
The opening day will be Saturday, April
| Goth.
