had been five thousand people on the

Tomorrow there is to be another
Sacramento day AS mark of appre-
citation of the enterprise of the Califor-
mia Jockey Club in giving such a high
class meeting. the business men of the
city have quite generally agreed to
unite in a half holiday on Friday, in
order that there may be a good attend
ance at the park The club is at great
expense giving an excellent meeting,
thus bringing to the city many men and
horses, and it is but fair that it should
receive encourag cement. The meeting
LIZ well conducted, there are plenty Of
booksellers, and the best of conditions
generally prevail.

by Just going out from the start and
winning by length and half in
1:O31b. Ann Page taking second, the
same distance ahead Of Headwater

was even with Napian on entering the
stretch, but the good thing fell hope
lessly to the rear on the way home.

one-mile selling race for three-year-
olds and upward at 2 to 3. Dolore was
3 to /, Lochness z, Kruna 10 and

away and led by a length at the half,

fourth and Huntsman last. In this or
der they went around the turn and

lengths in 1:4311a, Kruna third.
There were plenty of good chances
for betting in the six furlong selling
race for three-year-olds. Odds of 60
to 1 were given on Fleming, 30 Ocktu-
ruck, 20 Losette, 10 Toribio, 212 Lady

length between, the others being out

a half in lilo, Toribio third.
For the mile and a sixteenth handi-
cap but three horses faced the starter
-MarpIot even money, Red Glenn to
l and Libertine to 8.
Marplot had the worst of the send
off, but the best Of the riding, and won
the race by two lengths in 1:4S12, Lib
ertine a length ahead Of Red Glenn.
When the trio passed the stand the
first time Libertine was leading, Glenn
second and Marplot last. AT the quar-
ter Marplot had taken second place
and evened up things with Libertine by
the time the half was reached. Around
the turn they went like a double team,
Glenn two lengths behind. In the last
quarter Houck did some very pretty
riding on Marplot and landed him in
front by two lengths. Houck was rid
ing with but one stirrup when the
stand was passed the first time and
had to fish for it and at the same
time steady his horse.
The last event on the days card was
a seven furlongs dash for all ages, In
which the starters were Hemera to
l, Gotobed 6, Obsidian 10 and Ruhicon
l to 3.
It was all over but the shouting as
soon as the barrier was let loose. Ru-
bicon assumed the lead at once, and
though Obsidian was even up with him
on the turn the favorite won by about
thirty yards. without effort, in 1:27A.
Hemera was third and Gotobed might
as we'll have gone to bed.
