Jou Jou's victory had little effect on changing the rates, Patsy 

 bringing $100 to $87 on the others. When the start was given Patsy 

 Duffy cut across Jou Jou, and took the lead, Philip S running into 

 second position. The pace was faster than before, as the quarter was 

 made in 26 seconds. Down the backstretch Patsy and Philip S ran 

 locked, Jou Jou some lengths behind. The half mile was passed in 

 51^ seconds. Looking through the glass, it was evident that Jou Jou 

 was running easily, and this was fully proved when they reached the 

 seven furlong mark, as from there he galloped in in the fast time of 

 1:43, Patsy Duffy second.

FIFTH DAY. 



Tuesday was a grand morning, the sun breaking over the top of the 

 Sierras and bathing the valley in radiance, while the sides of the 

 mountains were in shadow. There was not a breath of air, though 

 as the day progressed there was a light breeze which tempered the 

 atmosphere so that the most fastidious could not find fault. There 

 was a large attendance at the Park in the morning, and a very large 

 one in the afternoon. The morning attraction was a grand stock 

 parade, and the people were unanimous in pronouncing it the finest 

 exhibition of cattle ever seen in California, and it is doubtful if it 

 could be surpassed in the United States for rarity. There were Short- 

 horns, Herefords, Devons, Holsteins, Ayrshires, and Jerseys, and then 

 came the Polled Angus, which were admired by all butchers for evi- 

 dences of their prime beef qualities, by stock men for their general 

 adaptability to all countries, while the masses admired them for their 

 unequaled beauty. Draft horses were well represented, and there 

 were a few fine animals among the thoroughbreds and trotters. 



The first race in the afternoon was a purse of $1,000 for three-year 

 olds. The starters were Robert Lee, Antevolo, Leleep, Pope Leo, and 

 Voucher. Antevolo was a great favorite, bringing the night previous 

 $100 to $30 on all the others, and after winning the first heat it was 

 $100 to $9 on him, but the loss of the second heat, to Voucher, brought 

 the field up to $40 against $100 on the favorite. With the exception 

 of the second heat, description of the race is unnecessary, further 

 than reference to the summary, as Antevolo took the lead at the starfr 

 and never lost it, coming home at his ease. In the second heat Leleep 

 took the inside position on the first turn until near the half-mile post, 

 Antevolo going along leisurely behind. He went to the front at the 

 half-mile. Voucher coming up at the three-quarters, and fairly out- 

 trotted Antevolo home.
