There will be a road race to which horses of Napa county without records will be eligible for a purse of 8200. Probably another local race will be arranged for running horses. There will beat least four days of harness racing and if a running program is arranged, which is very prob- able, the runners will have a day or two set aside for them and there will not be a mixed program of trotting and running on the same day. This is a very wise conclusion for the association to reach and will meet with the approbation of both classes of horsemen. The Napa Association was never in as good shape as it is now. The new Board cf Directors is composed of energetic business men, and Secretary Bell is an especially active and progressive 'official. In next week's issue of the Breeder and Sportsman the official advertisement of these purses will appear. The date set for closing is June 2d. Let every owner and trainer in California make up his mind to race at Napa this year. The track will be worked especially for harness horses, and as Napa has always been a good town for harness races large crowds are certain to attend and make the meeting successful. The Napa Association is the first district organization to announce a program, and therefore deserves the patronage and support of every owner. Make its entry list a boomer. Rich Purses at Lexington
