SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3,188 The Fair at San Jose. The experiment of holding the annual meeting at the Gar- den City in the early days of the Fall Circuit instead of the nether ehd Was a prbnoOnfled success. The eity was in the inidst of a real estate boord with £11 the attendant excitement, bnt the draft of the Fair was so strbbg ihat the a'SSociation had no complaints to make of inattention on the part of* the pnblic. The handsome grounds were at their best, the man- agement capital, the racing first class, and altogether it was a glurums week. The only incidents that detracted from the general happiness were the deaths of Grosvenor and Lottie M. Grosvenor choked down and died on the track, in a race which he was winning as he liked, and in a heat in which bis owner had waived distance and ordered the horse driven for a record. Note of Grosvenor's breeding and general char- acteristics was made in tbeso columns laat week. Lottie II. met a violent death. She started on Thursday in the race for the 2:23 class, and was so rank and vicious on the bit that her driver, Willis Parker, had all he could do to keep her within bounds, In the third heat, aiter passing the half-mile mark, she settled and commenced trotting fast. Bexford, who was next in front of her, was driven wide of . the pole, and Willis palled his mare in next the fence. After going a furlong at a fast clip, she broke and swerved toward the fence. At that point there is a bank about eight inches â¢high that marks the inner line of the course, and, asilHuck would have it, she landed her fore-feet on this bank. This threw her off her balance; she stumbled, struck a post with her neat shoulder, and was shunted headloDg out into the middle of the track; the fall breaking her neck. Parker was thrown heavily and was badly cut .tip about the head and face, but escaped serious injury. Lottie M.- was bred and owned by John M. Moore of Stockton; was by Nephew, 6rst dam by Chieftain, second dam a mustang mare that had been used in a pack-train. She had a record of 2:24, made at Petaluma, August 28, 1886, and repeated the performance at Stockton a month later. One of the pleasant incidents of the meeting was the appearance for the first time of the bine and wbite of the Laurelwood Stable. Joe Navais carried them on Carmen on "Wednesday, and gave them a baptism of victory. Mr. Don- ahue was present and received the hearty congratulation of a legion of friends. Daring the meeting Mr. L. J, Rose sold to D. W. Murphy, of San Luis Obispo, the black colt Sondan, 3, by Sultan, dam Lady Babcoek by Whipple's Hambletonian, for $7,500. The conditions of the sale were that Soudan should till his engagements in the present circuit nnder Mr. Rose's manage- ment, Mr. Murphy to have a contingent interest in the win- nings. At the close of the season Soudan will be taken to Mr. Murphy's San Luis Obispo ranch, and most likely be rele- gated to the stud.

A horse clipping match took place at TVooler's Yards, Pitt street, between C Ray of Sydney, and W. Smerridge of New- castle, the former laying £15 to £10 on the result. The con- test commenced at 2 p. >r., when two horses were provided, the choice to be decided by tossing. Messrs. E. McCarty and W\ Keys were appointed judges, Mr. Fewing timekeeper, and Mr. Hagerty referee. The match was witnessed by a large number of persons interested in horses, and great inter- est was manifested in the proceedings. The conditions of the match included speed and superior workmanship, and so far as the former was concerned the competitors finished a dead heat iu sixty-one minutes. The judges, however, were The Fall Meetingof the Dixon DrivingPark Association took place at Dixon last Thursday and Friday, August 25th and 26th. Owing, no donbt, to counter-attractions in the way of the State and numerous District Fairs, the attendance was not as large as it might have been, yet a very fair crowd was present. Betting was quite spirited, and a good many dollars changed hands through the pool-box. The first day was very windy, but the weatber on the following day was warm and delightful. None of the races were very speedy, but the closeness of the contests created considerable interest. The grounds are now in first-class condition. New stables have been added, and before long Dixon can boast of one of the best race-courses in the State. Below we give the full result of both days* racing: First Day.
