STATE FAIR RACES.
The Finest Programme Ever offered
on This Coast.
Nine Days of Running, Trotting and
Pacing for Big Purses-Horses
Classed according to Merit.

mo9' 0ASe4leut programme OF racing
events Tor the State Fair of this year. Its
classification is superior to many that
nave been written in the past.
Inc trotting events provide class for
every horse in training on the coast, with
as well as without records, while the
running portion is written with view of
lnsuring contest in each race, should
the same horses meet each running day.
There will be nine days racing, begin
ming with trotting, ON the first Thursday
September Sthj, and alternating with the
"bang-tails'' each dayifollowing during
the fair. Below are given the conditions
of each race, wherein it will be seen that,
should any phenomenal trotter or PAGER
develop before the State Fair, and obtain
a mark unusual for the class in which
such horse had already been named, the
owners OF less speed-developed animals
that may be entered in the same class are
protected by the compulsory graduation
OF the extraordinary performer into his
proper class.
This is not only justice to owners who
had gone to the trouble and expense of
fitting their horses for the circuit, but will
give the public better contests in each
race; for who would care to see another
Frank NJ. come out this season and march
through all the slower classes without
doing battle for his laurels? Whereas, if
one of that kind should come up, he
would be thrown in with speedier foe
men.
This plan originated with the State
Society, and after one years trial it is
pronounced very valuable adjunct in
the proper classification of horses.
The dates for entrance in the trotting
and pacing events are designated in the
conditions of each race. III the running
classes August lst is the date named for
most of them to close.
1t is predicted that all the stables now
racing throughout Utah, Colorado, Mon
tana and Oregon will take part in the fall
races at the State Fair. On the whole the
racing outlook is first-class.
