Epecisl to The MORNING CALI

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 10.-Director FL. NJ.
Larue's determination not to act as judge
of the racing during the State Fair was the
main topic of comment among the horsemen
and visiting public this morning. That his
familiar face should not be seen again in
the stand while the meeting lasts was most
unsatisfactory to all who have attended
races for many years past Divested OF lit
lie extraneous matters the supervision of
the profits Of the pool-box is said to be the
cause of the disagreement of the Directors.
Mr.. Larue is most outspoken about the al
fair. 1t is said that he affirmed in the pres
euce of witnesses last night that until the
opening day, Tuesday, the State Fair Agrl-
cultural Society had simply received from
the booksellers whatever they handed over
as the sOciety's percentage Of the pool-sell-
ing commissions. Mr.. Larue states that for
years past he has fought hard in the Di-
rectors' Board to have matters conducted
differently, and only succeeded just before
the present meeting opened. Then re-
spOnsibIe man, appointed by the Directors,
keFt tally on the amount of auction pools
and mutuals sold. War was at once de-
clared and Mr.. Larue had to retire.
When MI Larus gives the full history OF
the inside workings of the situation it will
be most interesting reading matter.
THE FIRST RACE.
A great performance for a two-year-old,
and one that sets the world record for two
year-od stations, was shown to-day by the
crack Palo Alto colt. Arion, BY Electioneer-
Marictte, in the two-year-Oli stakes, en-
trance fee $50. $500 added. Marvin steered
the new star against W: F. Smiths Kebir.

farm M4cleay, NJ Goldsmith, and II. 2. Per-
kius' Resins, B yless. At San Jose AriOn
went an easy mile in 2:251a. This made bin
a hot fay0rite at $40 for the first heat against
SO for the field and 81 for Mscleay. Marvin
took the heat easily ID 81 by length from

10 price him at Sl0ln the field against $50 Tor
ATon in the second heat. Only the favorlte
and Kebir were in it. On the fifth score the
word was given with Arion in the lead,
Kebir close up. At the quarter in 0:36
ArOn led by two lengths, and at the hall IN
I'LL by three-a very fast clip. Then heblr
cTawled up on the leader, aud at the three
quarters was nearly level with him In
I:46lh. red-hOt brush was had up the
stretch, but the Electioneer yOungster out
stayed his game competitor, and won by SIX
lengths in the great time OF 2:2l, though
outside watches made 1t 2:2OR, the others
distanced. When coming back to scale the
jockeys of Arion and Kebr had an exchange
of verbal compliments, and one Of the mar
shals had to thrust his horse between them
10 avert hostilties. kebir's jockey claimed,
and he was believed by many who had their
fied-gIasses on him, that ArlOn's jockey had
eadeay0red to break up kebir in the stretch
BY unprofesSionaly switching his whip In
ktbir's face.
THE $500 PACING RACE.

2:25 pacing class. The starters were: Al

DO doubt remember that at Oakland week
ago Lilly, driven by HickOk, won the first
neat and was fourth to Havland IN 2:2912,
and that then she took the next three heats
and race in much faster time, landing the
LIST heat in 2:20h. While in the auctions
Lilly sold for $40 against SIS for Allanah
and 81 for the field as to the final result, vet
m the mutuals on the heat Allanah was
hot faYurite at nearly 2 to over the others.
These odds were very pregnant, and told
rbe tale. Allanah won the first heat in
2:2jh by two lengths from Keno, Lilly
Third. Laura was drawn, and Norton, an
other bad actor, was dlstanced. Still Lilly
was favOrite at $40 against Allanah at S19
and tile field So for the second heat. This
time an effort was made 10 win with her,
but she was unequal TO the task. and was
second by four lengths to Allanah in 2:18.
Such change in the time. from . :25R1s to
2:18, made the public put on their thinking
caps. The third heat and race went to
A!janah in 2:2OK, Lilly second. In the sec
oad heat Allanaii went to the half in 08A.
il the first in 1:1234 and in the third in l 10.

HaYry. Chloe took the first, second and
fourth in 2:32. 2:31 y and :28A. Our Jack
won the third in :3Jh. The starters were
Kehoe Chloe Butcher, Josie e, Our Jack,

VOW the runners will be out, and some really
good racing should be had. The attendance
was much larger to-day, and the fair may
now be sid 70 be under full Roadway.
