Fresno, October 16th. Los Angeles, October 21st. The above dates are certain and that is the circuit. A committee from the Breeders Association went to Santa Eosa last Tuesday and arranged to give the meet- I ing there on the dates above stated. Woodland and ' Willows have both concluded they could not hold fairs this year, and it is reported here in San Francisco that 1 Grass Valley will also put its fair off until next year. Chico will give a meeting. The citizens have already raised nearly $1500 to add to the State appropriation and decided to hold a fair on the week of August 14th , to 19th. This is the same date as that selected by the I Breeders at Santa Eosa and as nearly all the stables in training have already made entries for the latter meet- ; ing, it is probable that the Chico people will change : their date before announcing their program. The Breeders Meeting promises being one of the greatest i harness meetings ever held in the State. The celebrated Santa Eosa track will be put in the very best possible . condition and fast time and exciting contests are certain. Last year at Santa Rosa, the track was in such perfect condition that some of the fastest miles trotted or paced â in the United States during the year were made over it. The tbree-year-old gelding record was made there by the trotter Who Is It 2:12, and the fastest mile made by a four-year-old pacing mare was the 2:07% of Much Better at Santa Eosa. At an auction sale at Cleveland â last May Who Is It sold for $5600, and in a law suit over the mare Much Better $4000 was the value placed upon her.
