. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. ^gp^^s^f^^^^^^ Vol. XIII. No 13. No. 313 BUSH STREET. SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1888. SUBSCRIPTION FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR. Stockton Fair. THIRD DAY. September 20thâThe attendance on Thursday was notice- ably better than on the two preceding days, but yet by no means so great as the excellence of the programme offered Bbould have been attracted. Fourraces were liBted, in each of which the betting was rather light, there being a pronounced favorite in every one of the events. The track had been placed in good condition, and the sport began promptly. First KaceâTrotting, for the 2:35 class, had three starters in the tirst heat. Ben Ali, the favorite, trotted at Sonnet's wheel to the three-quarters, she having the pole, and doing the quarter in 0:37i, the half in 1:13. When straight- ened into the stretch, Ben AH was given his head, and won easily into 2:25i, Perihelion being distanced. Pools: BenAli §60, Sonnet $14, before the second heat, in whioh Ben Ah led all the way and won in a jog, the quarter being 0:36, the half 1:11, the mile 2:26J. In the third heat Ben Ali wes off his feet from the quarter, and could not b9 settled until about the last turn was reached, when Sonnet was eight lengths to the good. Thence into the wire Ben Ali trotted fast, Sonnet winning the heat by three lengtns. Time, 0:36, 1:11$, 2:24$. The fourth heat was a jog for Ben Ali, Sonnet breaking and losing six lengths to the quarter, and saving distance only because BenAli was pulled down to a jog. Time, 0:3b 4-5, 1:11$, mile 2:30*.
