The morning call., 1892-05-22

Horses have been the celebrities of the
hour. The horse show at the baseball
grounds was the great point Of attraction
last week. Monterey, a superb seal-brown
stallion, who will win trotting record,
owned by Miller, created favorable COM
ment and drew forth fatterng tributes for
California ''as the best breeding place in
America" The horses, however, like the
people who come on here, suffer the first
year from the decided change Of climate.
Monterey came from San Mate0, and has
had rather dsagreeable experiences in be-
coming acclmated.
