District yesterday afternoon. The book
makers, who had been hard hit on Satur-
day and Tuesday. commenced to ex-
perience a welcome change OF luck and
had decidedly the best of the days eneoun-
ter with the talent, who somehow or other
missed one of the best things Of the day in
Sallie NJ for the last race.
The track is improving slowly, but it
will take at least another week of fine
weather for it to dry out properly.
The California Jockey Club has decided
to donate the entire proceeds of to-mor-
rows gate receipts to the fund for the un-
employed, and all persons who enter the
gates of the track on that day will have to
pay their way in. But the fund will be
still more benefited by the generosity of
all the racing officials. who have agreed to
hand over their days salary to the same
worthy object. This will swell the amount
considerably, as can be readily understood
when IL is remembered that this means 500
from Mr.. Ferguson alone, and an aggregate OF
$500 or 5000 more from the other gentlemen
comprising the full list of officials.
