Special to THE MORNING CALL.
SACRAMENTO. Sept. 9-The ladies' tour
nament of the State Fair opened this morn
ing with eight contestants, Misses Lockhart,
Rechling. Glannhan. Emery. Mard. Kemp,
Quarels and Peters. The programme this
morning consisted of an exhibition of car
riage in saddle, wheeling and riding singly
and by twos aud fours, taking rings with
the lances and low hurdle-jumping. The
riding of Miss Reichling was particularly
good, and that of Miss Glannhan also
merits mention. Little Miss Kemp on a
spirited pinto did very well indeed. Miss
Peters was thrown from her saddle once as
her horse made a sharp turn, and again
nearly got another fall, being only saved by
an attendant from a bad cropper as her
horse took the hurdle. Most Of the horses
seemed unused to jumping. Miss Emery's
little bay in particular making a great fuss
over the low hurdle. Miss Lockhart had q
very poor mount and an execrable seat in
saddle, but had good control Of her horse.
and was the only one who succeeded in cap
turing all the rings on one ride. The con-
test to-day was not to be decisive. The
final trial takes place on Friday next, when
the prizes will be awarded.
A Great Running Day.
The tremendous crowd which journeyad
up to Sacramento last night was supple
mented by a big contingent from San Fran
cisco this morning. The first running day
was a huge success from every point of
view. Not only were the races very open
and hard to pick, but large fields started for
four out OF the five races, and the finish of
every race was desperately fought ont. Dick
Havey trained his colt Dare to the hour for
Charles Fair, and scored a popular victory
in the first race.
The starting was better on the whole than
has been seen for years at the State Fair,
and the directors are TO be congratulated on
securing the services of Tom Jones. who is.
without doubt, the best starter in Cali
folnia.
The weather was very hot, but as the
afternoon drew TO close a cool breeze
sprang up which proved most refreshing.
The talent was dumped badly in the first
four races and only got partial recovery
in the last race. The betting was the heav-
lest seen for years. and the way the punters
rushed the pool and mutual boxes was a
caution TO see.
There was no end of excitement before
the opening scramble for two-y o-year-olds and
the biggest betting Of the meeting hitherto
took place. Charmion was a red-hot favor
ite, with Charles Fairs colt, Dare. second
choice. Castro was the third pick, and Al
lance. Conde and The Drummer sold in the
field. The favorte got couple of lengths
the best of struggling send off and led her
field punched 10 the half. Here Dare be-
gan to 20 up. and Castro who got bad
start, soon after joined the leading trio.
Hill brought Dare out in the front as the
field swept around the turn for home, and
it was a good race for the drawgates. Fairs
colt then had his opponents in trouble and
won in romp by one and hall lengths.
There was race for the place, for which
position Charlie Trevattian's colt beat the
favorite by, neck. Time 1:14A.

the Rosemeade handicap for all ages, and
the talent having got downed in the first
two races plunged wildly on Sir Walter and

left in the soup In consequence. A mile
and quarter WAS the distance, and five
sported silk-Sir Walter, AlmOnt, Raindrop,
Captain Al and Canny Scot. The flag was
dropped to weil-bunched start and the big
crowd cheered the mass OF punched color as
1t advanced along the stretch. AS they raced
by the stands Captain Al and Almont were
nose and nose in front, Scot lying third
with Raindrop. Thus they ran to
the half mile pole, where the big
black horse shot his bolt and Raindrop
moved up to Almont and the pair were
first into the stretch. Directly afterward
