ANFORAN PARK will Innugurnte' on Monday the first annual fair of the San Francisco and San Mateo Agricultural Assoclation. It will be the first big event of this nature that the people of this city have had in many years, and as it comprises a horse show, bench show, athletic games, pony and harness racing, polo games, exhibi- tions of livestock, long-distanceriding and numerous other attractions, this inaug- ural fair should be a success. The entries to the horse show are quite large and comprise a number of the best horses of every class in and around San ncisco. The judging of these will take place during the first week of the fair, and as the track proper and Infleld at Tanforan are very suitable for such ex- hibitions this feature will be most inter- esting. On the opening day three harness races will be decided. These are given over to the members of the Golden Gate Park Driving Association and will be the best two In three heats for $300 purszes. The entries are large enough to assure good sport. . The committee on trotting exhibits wil be composed of J. F. Boyd, J. C. Kirk- patrick and Major J. L. Rathbone.
