PLEASANTON. July SO.-The initial
meet of the California circuit wound up
here to-day with one of the prettiest
races that was ever run on the track.
In the seventh heat of the 2:25 class
]. D. SDringer's Miss Idaho took first
coin from Cavaliero and Tom CarneaL
the latter handled by old Dad Trefry.
The mare was favorite in the first heat,
but did not show. Carneal and Cava-
Hero copied two heats apiece
In the fifth Idaho got into the going
with all feet. She took the sixth by u
nose from Cavaliero just as the last
train whistled at the depot. You could
not drive any one from the track with
a regiment of Cossacks. The natives
went wild as Springer, who piloted his
own animal, is we'll liked here. Cava-
Hero and Tom Carneal were badly
tagged. and Springer's little mare slid
away from them in the stretch. This
makes two purses Springer has an
pexed, Billy Red having captured the
first days pacing race.
A sight to stir the blood of lovers OF
harness races was an exhibition quar-
termile by that grand old horse Fly
ing Jib. Though 16 years old, the ven
cradle idol of other days made his dis
lance in 3014 seconds. He is still a few
lengths ahead of old age. The side show
almost brought tears to the eyes IF
those who knew him in his prime.
Silva & Wright's Kelly Briggs. a Sac
ramento animal, drew away from
everything in the 2:1O pacing race. Una
K, by Mckinney, surprised the wise
ones. Telephone. which started favor
lite, was distanced in the first heat. Una
K took three straight heats, though she
just lasted out in the third heat, break
ing as she came under the wire.
Horsemen are busy tonight prepar-
ing to leave for San Jose. where the
next meet of the circuit will be held.
The meet has been a good one through
out, having been managed without a
hitch. Summary:
