AT SACRAMENTO
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 10.-A great
crowd attended the state fair races to-
day. The track was good but not par
ticularly fast. The event of the day was
the special race at a mile, in which
Vinctor, 11S pounds; Libertine, 116;
Lobengula, 112, and Wheel of Fortune,
los, engaged. Lobengula got away with
the track, leading the way into the
backstretch by a length, Vinctor sec
ond. a neck in front of Libertine. The
latter set a terrific pace to the half
mile ground, at which point he showed
a length and half of daylight in front
of Vinctor, who was the same distance
in front of Lobengula, Wheel of For
tune fourth, half length away. Vine
tor made his run from the middle of the
turn and swung into the homestretch
three parts of length from Libertine.
Lobengula was third, length behind
Vinctor and a half length ahead of the
Wheel. At the eight post Vinctor and
Libertine were nearly head and head.
A sixteenth from the wire the latter's
muzzle was a little in front of Vinctor's,
and from there to the stand it was any
body's race, but vinctor made hustling
| drive, and "nosed" the hero of the West
Side out in the fast time of 1:41. Lo-
bengula came strong from the head Of
the stretch, but was shut off and fin
ished third.
The Native Sons handicap for the mile
1nstallator with 11S pounds in the sad
die was the favorite. The other start
ers were: Ruinart, Grady and Annette.
Annette led to the head of the stretch,
where Ruinart came up and won from
Grady by half length, Installator
third, length back, Annette last.
