BELL BIRD TROTS A PRETTY RACE
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NAPA, Aug. 23-There was big crowd
| of arrivals from the bay this morning The
most delightful weather imaginable pre-
| vailed throughout the day. The streets were
thronged for couple of hours this morning
| by the entire population TO see the circus
| procession. The circus had some difficulty
| with the City Council as to license and the
procession was vetoed but the trouble was
adjusted and the juvenile public saved from
disappointment.
The attendance at the races was much
| larger, although the sport was somewhat
tame. Books were made CD the two running
events. Considering the way the press and
the public have supported and helped the
fair directors. the lack Of courtesy and neg
lect of the public convenience is very no.
tceable. More especially are horsemen
complaining. Many have had TO stable their
horses downtown, and they say that Secre-
| taTy Hackett should have notified them Of
the fact, which they only learned upon
arrival
The owners tickets provided for free adj
mission 10 the grand stand, pavilion and all
parts of the grounds, but this clause was
stricken off by the attendants to-day, and
these and other things are causing kick"
The features OF the days racing were the
runaway victory of Condo in the two-year-
| old three-Quarters of a mile dash and the
consequent downfall of the terribly hot
! iavorite, Donna Lila. and the appearance
| of the Palo Alto FLY Bell Bird, by Elec-
toner out of Beautiful Bells. by The Moor.

won handily, but failed to beat her record.

4 to be had against Condo, Orrin, Friar Tuck
| Jr. and Duke Stevens. The flag fell after
| several breaks to a shockingly bad start,

He led from start to finish. and although
| the favorite made great run in the stretch
she suffered defeat by a short head at the
| wire. Time, slow, :lS.

Fourth Race.
Great interest was manifested in the two
year-old trOt on account of IL being the first
| appearance of Bell Bird IN a race since she

| at Stockton last tall. Ciboin, by Charles

| and Daghestan, the Stamboul, entered the

| up at the first turn, but when Phppen got
| Eer going she passed the field as though all
were standing still and, trotting in grand
| style, won in jog under big pull in 2 "a.
| CibulO was second.
In the second and deciding heat she
| tTotted tight to the front, reaching the
| quarter in 81 seconds, the half in IA and
| the mile was stopped by the watches at
| 2:30b. The FLY thus failed to beat her
yearllng record. although it must be ad-
| mitted Phippen slowed up and let his op-
| ponents all get inside the flag. She was
