cisco had arrived.
A joyous crowd soon took possession of
the grand stand, buxom and comely
matrons, slim. trim and beautiful maldens,
stalwart youths, and shoals of the blithest,
rOsiest and lyeliest boys and girls one could
find in a weeks march through California.
What a scramble -tnere was for the best
seats from which to see the grand stock
parade How they laughed, chartered and
shouted again as the military band struck
up series of popular tunes of the day.
Then the whistle of the morning train
was heard. and shortly afterward the news
boys made their appearance on the grounds.
The horsemen all make a rush for THE
CALL, some for the account OF the fair and
the speculative division to con over and
discuss the racing selections. which have
been so fortunate through the first part OF
the circuit. Then after a little time came
the stock parade. Sevent y magnificent
draught horses and stations were led out in
front. followed by thirty single teams. eight
splendid double teams, and then a number
of huge, snorting, level-baeked, shapey
draught stations. The stands W ere a per-
feet babel of admiration and applause
which swelled into roar as the first bull
came proudly on at the head of series of
some of tie grandest herds OF cattle ever
exhi bited in California.
Among the finest OF the herds may be
mentioned Meacham ard Fritchs twenty
IKE head Of Rcd Polls, 6. NJ. Dixon's herd OF
sixteen Polled Angus L. Wards herd OF
twelve Jerseys, q. Bement and Sons twenty
Ayrshires aud fourteen Hereiords, John
Jynch'S twenty ShOIthorDS, President j.
II. Whites Holstein herd of twenty-five
head and Frank Burke's celebrated herd OF
the same breed. Nor must mention be
omitted Of g. ID. CampbelPs twenty head
Of Jerseys and ". u. Hopkins fifteen head
Of Shorthorns. Tie procession was over Il
mile long and paraded twice around the
track
After the stock parade luncheon, al
freseo. was spread under the trees, and by
the time it had been discussed the bell was
Mapping for the first race.
The afternoons programme was very
heavy. in fact too heavy-twO running
races. pace and a couple OF trots, kept the
people on the track until shutdown, and a
suggestion was made to the leader of the
band to write waltz entitled Pacing In
the Cleaning" The fields were good and
the racing exciting, while the attendance
was better than ever. Nothing occurred TO
mar tie harmony of the day save little
fracas between jockeys Spence and Dona-
than, the former alleging that the latter
had struck his mount, EstTella, during the
runni ng of the two-year old dash. Spence
claidied a foul. but it was not pressed. and
the matter quoted down. The pacing race
had to be finally postponed after tour hard
heats.
First Race.
Donna Lila was an almost unplayable
fayoIite before the siX-tnrl0ng twe-year-0ld
dash. She had only Duke Stevens and Is
trella to beat. ana the taleDtplayed her Tor
lead pipe cinch." They were c.nched.
There was a little trouble on the post, and
when the flag dropped it was TO "A fair start,
the favorite being balfa length the worst of
ii. Duke Stevens made play In front, Is
trella second, the faHoFite lying third. There
they ran To the bend for home, when Peters
called on the Donna. but she could not
respond, and the two sbortenders fought ii
out, Duke Stevens beating Esuel!a half n
length IN the slow time of Is.
The favorlte tired to nothing under the
whip.

tainty that go to make up good rae E.
Thousands of dollars went into the pool
box for None Better at $40, Jessie at $15
and the field at $40. The first heat sur
prised the talent, as, after None Better had
led 'all;around, that great artist of the sulky,
Andy Mcdowell, brought Edenia with a
splendid drive. and up In the air went the
fay0rite az the wire, short head in front OF
McDGwelPs mare. which took the heat.

shut out

Better then went up second. She tangled
nearing the three-qaarters, but caught again,
