STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 185 



SIXTH DAY. 



The attendance for the sixth day eclipsed all previous gatherings at the 

 present meeting. The races were watched with great interest, the hetting 

 was active, the weather was pleasant, and it is almost needless to add that 

 the track was in fine condition. The Sunny Slope Stake, for two-year old 

 fillies, five furlongs, was the opening event on the programme. 



The starters were: Rosedale. Sally Hamilton, Katisha, and Lenoke. In 

 the pools Rosedale brought $60, Katisha $30, and the field $14. Lenoke 

 made the running. At the half Rosedale was close up, but the Shannon 

 filly was too good for her, and won in fine style by a length, Katisha third, 

 the fielders having a general jollification over the result.

The Del Paso Stake was the next event, heats of three quarters of a 

 mile, for which Adeline, Johnny Gray, Acton, and Grover Cleveland faced 

 the starter. Cleveland was made a very hot favorite in the pools, selling 

 for $200, Adeline $45, field $20. Such odds are remarkable on a California 

 course, especially when such a good filly as Adeline is in the race under 

 anything like favorable conditions. Gray got off with a good lead, Ade- 

 line second, Cleveland going easily under a steady pull. When in the 

 straight Cleveland was given his head, and he soon passed the leaders, 

 winning easily by four lengths; Gray second; Adeline third; Acton dis- 

 tanced. Time, 1:16. The result made Cleveland a still warmer favorite; 

 he sold at $100 against $10 on the field. In the second heat Adeline 

 started off at a killing pace, and made the running all the way, passing 

 under the wire three lengths ahead of Cleveland, who had passed Johnny 

 Gray in the run for home. Time, 1:15. In the third heat Cleveland got 

 off well, ran the distance in fine form, Adeline never being near him. 

 Time, 1:15^.
