sun. while a gentle breeze blew from the
south. The Second Infantry Band, under
the leadership of C. A. Neale, treated the
vast throng to a choice programme OF
music before and between the races.
The Judges for the day were Directors
Green and Mathews and Mr.. Fhckinger
of San Jose. The watches were held by
Directors De Long and Wilson, I'll. j. Ag-
new and NJ. R. Higgins. Harry Brown
officiated as starter, and he had his hands
full with such big fields of horses.
A remarkable feature of the day was the
great intere st manifested in the betting
ring. Money flowed into the pool-boxes
In an unceasing current, and it was ditfi-
cult for person to get within fifty feet of
the booksellers unless he got position
early and stayed there. 1t certainly did
not look much like hard times.
