Only One FaVorite Failed to Land a
Winner.
ESPERlAzi TOO FAST FOR ALNGNT.
The Second Week Of the State Fair Races 0pens
With Some Splendid Sport for the Lovers
Of Running Horses.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 12.-The opening
the final week Of the State far was favored
with splendid weather, and dellciously cool
breeze tempered the suns rays and gave the
huge crowd chance of moving around with
something like comfort.
The attendance at the vaquero exhibition
in the morning was not so large as was ex-
pected. There was a splendid display Of
horsemanship, and the way the Mexicans
sat the buck-1umpers was a caution to
snakes. One hard-mouthed spoiler got the
better Of his rider and ran away with him,
finally shooting him clear over his head
amid much excitement. During the show a
couple OF little dogs got on the track and
caused great amusement as the vaquer0s
vanly tried to lasso them. They were too
smart, however. The exhibition will be
repeated tomorrow morning.
The afternoons racing was really good,
although fields ruled small. Some disap-
pointment was manifested when Charles
Fair withdrew his fIly Princess, who had
been looked upon to give Charmion hard
race, owing to Dick Havey having an alter
cation with G. W. Hancock, the track sup
erintendent Dick had to pay 500 fine.
The chief topic among spectators as they
left the track was the marvellous success of
THE CALLS selections. There were FIVE
races and il gave four absolute winners, a
great feat. and the many printers who fol-
lowed them went home with light hearts
and heavy pockets.
Geraldine, Initiation, Charmion, Lottie
Mills and Esperanto were the winners. The
track was very fast and splendid time was
made, especially in the last race of the
day. Tom Jones again welded the flag with
his usual marked success.
EIrst Race.
The Fairy stake opened thebal and turned
out 10 be big gallop for Geraldine. The tai
ent paid $50 for her, SS for Motto and 50 for
Conde and Joshua in the field. There was
a tiTeS0me delay at tile post caused by Web
5er's tactics on Motto. Then there was a
weIl-bunched start, Condo sho wing the way
to the lower turn, with Jackson az his

Second Race.
Emboldened by their success in the first

plunge on Fanny f to beat Initiation and
Sheridan in the free handicap. Boots mare
was at the extreme short end, as much as
$40 being got against SIC for her in the
auction pools. There was good start. and
Gotta drove Initiation to the front. To the
surprise of everybody the mare stayed
there, and brought the shoit-enders home
victorious by beating Fanny + length at

of fettle, and despite gallant run in the
stretch could get no better than third.

"Charmion" was the cry for the Sunny
Slope stake for two-year-oldiiiie tive-fur-
long dash. There were lots of breaks, wind
ing up with very poor start, Walt getting
two lengths the best of it. Grace 5, who was
we'll backed, got the worst of the deal. Waif
cOllared her and she shut up like jackknife.

Fourth Race.
The mile and a sixteenth race was very
pretty one. LOttie Mills was an even money
favorite, while Royal Flush had the biggest
following Of the remainder. The quartet
got a capital send-off Miss Walling leading
pas: the stands. Nichols took the favorite
up to her on the lower turn and the pair
we're nose and nose at the quarter. Then
I.ottie Mills went to the front and the
others lay close up. They swept around
the bend for home we'll punched. Lotte
raced away easily in front. standing off
challenges from Royal Flush and Miss
Walling, both under the whip, and event
ually landing the race full OF running by
half length from Miss Walliug, who came
very fast at the finish under punishment.

| the two tayortes. Esperanza showed the
way By an open length to the homestretch.
| and every one then expected to see the
much belauded favorite come through and

mont, won amid frantic cheers by neck.
