Good Racing Attracts But a Slim Attendance at the State Capital This 'Week. Two weeks of good racing during the annual State Fair seem to have supplied the demand for the eport of kings among the people of Sacramento, as in spite of the attrac- tion of splendid racing every day since the California Jockey Club began its meeting last Monday, there has heen up to this writing (Thursday) but a small attendance. On the opening day there were not over two hundred paid admis- sion* at the gate and Tuesday was no better, though Wednes- day saw a slight improvement and the management hopes â hat by the end of this week the meeting will be fairly well patronized. The Board cf Stewards at the meeting consists of Thos. H. Williams Jr., Col. D. M. Burns, ChaB. F. Price and J. W. Brooke. In the judges' stand, Chas. F. Price, who is well kcowD as Secretary of the Louisville Jockey Club, presides and is filling the p^sitian most acceptable and proving to be a thoroughly competent official. He is assisted by that well- known citizen of Sacramento, J. W. Wilson. The starting is done by J. B. Fergascn, the C. J. C.'s regularly employed starter. Seven books have been doing business so far, but the amount of money wagered has not been large, though the odds are much more liberal than they were during the Fair meeting. There are nearly two hundred thorough- breds quartered at the track or in the immediate vicinity, and if the people could be induced to turn out in larger numbers the meeting would be a successful one in every par- ticular. The following are the results of the races run during the first three days: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. Runnlne, Inr all ages, selling. Five and a half furlongs. E. L&nlg&n's ch b Rubicon, by imp.
