RICH NURSERY STAKES.
The richest race at the coming State
Fair meeting, says the Breeder" will
undoubtedly be the Nursery Stake for
-year-olds at threefourths of
mile. There are fifty-seven youngsters
eligible, but many will drop out, as a
payment of $50 is to be made.
Quite number of those nominated are
now in the State, while a great many
have not shown sufficient class to war
rant their owners making any addition
al payment Secretary Ed. Smith has
furnished the following list of those
left in, with their entitled weights un-
der the conditions governing the stake:

BETTING PRIVILEGE.
1t looks now as if there would be
some very lively bidding for the betting g
| privileges at the coming State Fair,
meeting, says the Breeder" Sealed bids
| for this important plum will bereceived at
| the meeting of the State Board of Agri-
culture, to be held August 10th. There
| will be seventeen days of racing this
year, against twelve last, when Sl6,-
| 500 was given for the privilege. While
We do not expect to see S1,3lo per day
| given for the privilege, as last year,
we would not be surprised to hear that
close to $4,000 had been given for the
1896 privilege. At that figure the buy
or could make some money and offer
decent odds on the various events.
ENTRIES YET OPEN
A great many trotting and pacing
races booked for the State Fair meet
ing are now open for entries, viz: The
2:25 trot, the 2:30 trot, 2:27 pace, 2:22

2:10 pace, and 2:20 trot. The above
races are open to the 22d of August,
and the owners of light harness per-
formers should not forget that there
is no time like the present to make
entries and forward them to Edwin F..
Smith, Secretary, Sacramento.
MONROE SALISBURY.
Commenting on the report that Mon
roe Salisbury, who left the racetrack
last year to become miner, thinks of
returning to the track, the California
Turf says:
Monroe Salisbury, the noted horse
man, is said to be considering very seri-
ously of again gathering magnificent
stables of trotters and runners and rae
ing them. Monroe Salisbury's name will
always be associated with such great
performers as Direct, Flying Jib, Little
Albert, Directum, Directly, Alix, Azote
and Margaret NJ, that gained for him
the title of king of the trotting turf dur
ing the season of 1894. His retirement
at the end of the season of 1895 very
naturally caused considerable surprise
and regret. We sincerely hope Mr..
Salisbury will carry out his intentions,
for it is such true sportsmen who give
an excellent standing to horse racing"
