Epecialto THE MORNING CALF.
NAPA, Aug. 2l.-What, with the red-pep-
per hot weather and staying at the track
again until it was quite dark, the visitors TO-
day returned to town pretty well tagged
out. In the morning there was a good
parade of stock at the grounds, which
stretched out for nearly half a mile. The
ladies' tournament brought out three con-
testants, and, after creditable display of
equestrlenne skill, the Judges placed Miss
Packard first, Miss Harvey second and Miss
Gr!gsby third. Captain Ben Harris OF the
Acorn stable was heartily congratulated
when he drove Harry Nc to victory, when
the unfinished special of yesterday was
trotted. The time Of the final heat was
2:S5h. Belle Ihorne was second and King
Orc third.
TIE FIRST RACE.
The free-f0r-all two-year-Old event had for
starters: Sabina, driven by Goldsmith;
Robin, driven by McGrew, and Lizzie r, by
Griffin. On her excellent showing last week
at San Jose, when Sabina pushed Arion,
the Eectioneer crack colt. out in 2;25R, the
Wilkes FLY was made prohibitive favorite
at $50 against s., and she had an easy picnic
race of il, winning in straight heats. Time,
2:34l5-2 :4034. Robin took second money
and Lizzie L third.
TIE SECOND RACE.
The $500 purse for the 2:15 pacing class
brought ont four cracks in Rupee, driven
by Goldsmith; Princess Alice, Dustin; Gold
Medal David and Hummer, Clarity. Rupee
looked in the best tx Of the four, the Prin-
cess having a dry look and did not please
the eyes Of the talent as much as she did at
San Jose. Gold Medal made one great
effort, then died away, and seems to show
that lie has passed his zenith for time.
Hummer, the gayest one of the lot, has not
yet made up his mind to show his best be-
havior, and he was quite unsteady. though
Clarity handled him very well. He will,
however, do better in the future, and when
he gets more settled will astonish many
buyer OF the favorite.
HOT FAvoIITE.
Rupee was hot favorite for the first heat
at SIS against SIS for the Princess and SIS
for the field. In the first score they were
of, Gold Medal and Princess going for the
heat and Rupee taking it easy third, and
Hummer last. The leaders went nose and
nose to the first quarter in O:334, and
fought each other all the way to the half
mile in l 09l5 then Gold Medal kept crawl
ing away and had a length the best of it at
the thTee-quarters in A After another
sharp brush up the stretch Princess Alice
Stacked UP, and Gold Medal finished nearly
plUht lengths in fTnOr Of her Time
Rupee was third and Hummer last. From
the way David pushed Gold Medal out it
looked as if he wanted to distance as many
OF the others as lie could.
THE SECOND HEAT.
The Wilkes wiggier was a still better
favorlte for the second heat, though he had
not placed it to his credit and sold al $40
against 50 for Princess and Sl1 for the
field. He INDUCED the Princess with the
lead TO the quarter in 1888 and then unlim-
beriug himself led her a length at the half
in :0S15. Princess hung on to him, how
ever. and was on his wheel at the three
quarters in n. II was ding-dong for a Bit
home, but the mare tired and broke, leaving
Rupee 10 win bandily by four lengths in
2:lI94. Princess finished on a run, Gold
Meial third and Hummer fourth. Sixty
dollars for Rupee and SO for the field were
tile rates for the third heat. Princess led
70 the quarter, when Rupee came up and
led her a short length to the half in I:I0b
and the same at the three-quarters.
A STRONG EFFORT MADE.
Dustin made strong drive for the heat,
but the mare failed to keep her feet and
run at the finish brought her UP to half
length of Rupee, but Goldsmith had him
going well within himself and won in 2:1S,
Colo Medal third and Hummer fourth.
PoOl-SeliDg stopped, though Jonathan
took David's place behind Gold Medal.
Princess cut out fast spin of 1874 to the
quarter, where Rupee as usual went ahead,
and leading all the way won easily by six
lengths from Princess, who broke just be-
yond the half. Time, 2:20R. Gold Medal
danced about on the backstretch and Hum
mer going strong beat him out four lengths
for third place.
successive victory for the popular blue
colors of Goldsmith, and it looks as if the
San Mateo Stock Farm stable is rounding
to again.

took until past o'clock to decide. C. II.

very steadily forced him to a bad break and

No pools were sold on the heat. Just before
the horses were sent off the Judges were
notified that the services of patrol Judge
might be needed, owing to the darkness.
A LAKEPoRT MARE WINS.
The suggestion was at once acted upon
and proved most benefcient to the best in
terests OF Pattie p. She and Maud led to
the half, where Daylight who had been
trailing, passed them on run and kept it
up Tor some 200 yards, then he settled down
and came under the wire first by twenty
lengths In 2:26, Pattle second and Maud
third. The drivers of Pattle and Maud pro.
tested against giving the heat to Daylight,
and the patrol Judge and driver of Daylight
were called on to the stand. The patrol
judge stated that Daylight had run the
distance claimed by the other drivers and
Day lights driver also so acknowledged. On
this the horse was set back to third place
and the heat and race given to Pattie p, with
Maud second. Pattie P's victory proves

by Richmont by AlmOnt, and was only
taken up from grass three weeks ago. Her
owner, Mr.. Redman of Lakeaort, is a pop
ular gentleman, and that his little mare
should viii against seasoned horses was
something to be very proud of.
