RACING A RANK FAILURE.
That Sacramento People Would Not
Go to Free Wine Dinner" is Di-
rector StemIer's Opinion.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

| SACRAMENTO, June S.-The directors OF
the Capital City Turf Club came to the
| conclusion this afternoon that the citizens
of this city did OF appreciate horseracinG
After to-day's racing the meeting, which
was to last until Saturday, was declared
! off. }. w. Wilson, the president of the
club, saws that it cannot afford to give
away $1,000 day in purses and only clear
| $500 from the gate and privileges.
The San Francisco contingent were very
much disappointed, and A. B. Stemler was
not only disappointed but disgusted. In
speaking of the matter he said: why,
the Sacramento people would not go to
free wine dinner" This is Stemler's in
dividual opinion, but anyhow the residents
of the capital city hardly showed their ap-
probation of the efforts of the club to give
some good and square racing
The racing-card to-day was one of the
best ever presented to the racing world.
The weather was delightful, the track was
good and the fields in most of the races
were large enough to make things very in
teresting. The finishes were exciting in
each of the four races, and the crowd,
which was the largest that had put in an
appearance at Agricultural Park since
the meeting began, thoroughly appre-
ciated them.
The Golden Eagle Hotel stake at five
furlongs, for two-year-olds, was the event
of the day. Montnlva, Realization, Red
Chief, Quirt, Moren and Normandie faced
the starter, the well-known Curly Brown.
Montalva was made n fayorite by the
field, bringing $50 against S12. The start
was almost perfect. johnny Weber. as
usual. got his mount running quicker than
the others, so Montalva was the first to
show from the bunch. The race TO the
head of the stretch was very exciting.
Montalva. who was expected to outrun his
field in the first quarter, failed in the
attempt, Quirt pressing him all the way.
When they swung into the stretch Quirt
passed him, as did also Normandie. Mon
talya had enough, and Qurt and Nor
mandie raced home for the money. In
driving finish Quirt, cleverly ridden bv
C. Weber, won by half length in :05.
Montalva was third. few lengths blck.
Red Cloud, Broadchurch, ST. Patrick and
Gladiator contested in the selling event of
mile. st. Patrick, on the strength of his
recent wins, was made a big favOrite. He
stumbled badly at the start. which was
Browns worst effort, but raced head and
head with Red Cloud all around :he ring.
In driving finish Red Cloud won by a
nose, ST. Patrick second and Broadchurch
third. Time. :35.
Charmer, Addie Chapman, Solitude and
Orta appeared in the handicap at The mile
for three-year- It was a good betting
race, Charmer selling for S20. Solitude for
SIC, the field for S15. Addie Chipman and
Solitude made the running to the head of
the stretch, where both died away.
Charmer came in and won handily from
Orta in ] 40 Chipman.was the third.
Canny Scott, who had not run for a long
time, was made big fayorite in the fan
dicap at a nile and furlong for the
Pioneer HOpyard stake. His only con-
testants were Red Cloud and Broadchurch,
both Of whom had run in the mile selling
affair. They were never in it, for Spence
displaying his old-,ime form landed the
son of Leinster winner from Red Cloud
by length in / 80
