If the present delightful weather should
hold out during the week it is likely that
large number of people will come here
on Friday from various parts of the State
to see the fleet PAGERS and trotters in
Monroe Salisbury's stable lower some of
the worlds records held by them, for
they are all world beaters.
The horses were to have been shipped
from Fresno yesterday, and will be here
to-day. They are ten in number and in
clude the fastest in the world. Mr.. Neal,
representing Salisbury, has been here
since Saturday looking at the track and
making arrangements for stable quarters
for the horses. When seen at the Golden
Eagle Hotel last evening he was in a
very happy frame of mind over the pros
pect OF lowering some of the records.
The track at Agricultural Park is in
excellent condition." said Mr.. Neal, ''or
can be made so in few days if this
lovely weather continues. In that case,
and II the horses remain in their present
good form. which they undoubtedly will,
look for day of the greatest racing ever
witnessed on this coast, il not in the
whole country-that is, if the Sacramento
track is as fast as it is reported to be.
MI. Salisbury was called to the East
a couple of weeks ago, but he will be
pack this week in time for these races.
Mind you. these are not all to be mere
exhibitions. The horses are not all Mr..
Salisbury's, and when they start they are
driven Tor all they are worth.
