for the several events. All seem to be
working together harmoniously and
with one aim-that of making the rae
ing feature of the State fair of 1899 the
most attractive OF any that has been
scheduled here since the early sixties.
The purses are far better than any that
have been offerd for several years and
this fact is drawing card, inducing the
best horses on the coast to come here to
compete for the prize money, which will
insure several days of good sport and a
large attendance on each day may rea-
sonably be expected. The track is one
of the fastest on the Pacific slope, and il
what the wise ones in turf circles say be
true, many records will be smashed at
the fall meeting.
