Weeks Racing Given by the
Breeders Association.

The most perfect weather Bay Distr CT
track has experienced for long time on
a racing day was provided for the closing
day of the Trotting-horse Breeders sum-
mer meeting. There was but little wind
and no fog, and the track was in better
condition than during the early part Of the
week, having received more thorough
wetting and little deeper narrowing
The attendance was the largest of the
week. but not more than one-third as
great as the runners usually draw on a
Saturday.
Good racing was furnished, but the con-
tests were lacking in sensational features
and the programme was concluded by 8
o'clock.
The days sport opened with race for
2:30 trotters, seven horses starting in the
event. Marin Jr.. the gray gelding which

first, Farrell wasting no time, but driving
his horse right to the front and sending
him to the half in 1:07 and letting him
come home easily in rs. The third heat
was won in the same manner in 2:19.
Marin Jr is the best green horse that has
appeared on California track this year
