ance-To-Day's Events.

ance-To-Day's Events.
Another typical early summer day was
experienced by those who attended the
second days racing of the Capital Turf
and Driving Clubs meeting at Agricult-
ural Park. The weather was simply
perfect, still the number of visitors was
not one-tenth of what it should have
been, for the club had put up an after
Moons sport that would have attracted
from 1900 to 10000 visitors if given on
one of the Eastern tracks. 1t must he
that everybody is too busily engaged IN
making money to give few hours a day
TO enjoyment.
If men will insist on working them
selves into early graves in pursuit OF the
nimble dollar, rather than take an occa-
sional rest, they have a legal if not
moral right to do so. The fact, however,
shows one thing-that Sacramento is a
community of busy people, and that
there are few persons at loss to know
what to do with themselves.
During the intervals Between the races
yesterday the First Artillery Band. under
the direction of G. A. Neale, discoursed
excellent music.
The Judges stand was occupied by
President j. w. Wilson, Phil Herzog and
DR.. Ably. Alb Stemler officiated as starter
and had less than the usual difficulty in
getting the runners off.
FIRST RACE.
i selling purse of $500 for all ages,
seven and one-half furlongs, was the
first on the programme. The starters
were st. Patrick, Regal and Charger, the
others having been scratched. st. Pat
rick, owing to his easy victory over
Charmer on the preceding day, was in
stalled as favorlte at $50, against Sl3 Tor
the other two. c. Weber piloted st.
Patrick, Peters had the mount on Regal,
and Burlingame on Charger.
1t was pretty race from start to finish,
one that would have stirred larger crowd
to enthusiasm. Patrick had the best Of
the send-otf and led all the way. He was
Tapped by Charger every foot of the way
until the seven-eighths post was reached,
where Charger let up and Regal took sec
Ond place. finishing an open length behind

second place and gave the leader all he
wanted to do from there to the wire to
hold his position. There was hardly day

passed under the wire in 80 seconds For
tuna's nose was at his flank, Seaside lust
tapping Fortuna. The Monk was last all
the way.
