SACRAMENTO, Sent. S.-The weather to-
day is what San Franciscans would call
''roaster," and the icecream and water
melon stands did a rushing business. This
morning at IL O'Clock the grand stock
parade took place. 1t extended once and
a half around the track. Some of the
finest representatives of the different
breeds of thoroughbreds and cattle ever
seen in the State were exhibited. The
musical programme was excellent and the
attendance lalge.
The talent Jared well, as all three
favorites won easily. Aster, the reju-
yenated plowhorse, put in the three fast
est heats trotted ON the California circuit
this year. This horse was taken East in
Heating and Ottinger's string this year,
but failed 10 accomplish anything. It is
said that Heating found liniment in the
East that brought the horse around, and
surely, if tO-day's race is any criterion, it
shout prove a fortune to the manutac-
iurer.

defeat of the year. ". Wood was brought
out between heats in the second race, and
paced an exhibition mile In 2:10b. The
bay mare AbanteeO, winner of the last
race, was a cast-off purchased by the Oak
wood stock farm for breeding purposes at
Frank Burke's sale. in February OF this
year. Milard Sanders thought she would
do to train, and to-day's victory Is her
third or fourth this year.
