Los Angeles daily herald., 1873-11-14
The entries were:


Clifford, of San Diego.
In the pools Gretchen was the favor
ite, selling 3 to over Milk Boy. The
pools were tolerably heavy.
FIRST HEAT.
Milk Boy had the pole. They got
off well together after two Intellectual
attempts to do so. The black led a
little soon afterwards. They trotted
pretty even for while, but at the
quarter Gretchen was several lengths
ahead. Milk Boy was urged more and
the gap commenced to close slightly:
Milk Boy was behind at the halt, and
broke badly coming home. Gretchen
got about four lengths ahead on the
heat. Time, 2:579.
SECOND HEAT.
Milk Boy got the lead slightly, but
Gretchen soon overhauled and passed
him. While Gretchen was leading
handsomely, Milk Boy broke. At the
quarter, Gretchen was about six
lengths ahead. Milk Boy then broke,
and afterwards trotted for some time
very unevenly. AT the half, Milk
Boy was gaining on Gretchen, but
broke. Gretchen also broke for a few
seconds. But Milk Boy passed
Gretchen just before the judges stand
was reached, and won the heat in
3:01s.
After this heat Gretchen was the
favorte by about three to one.
THIRD HEAT.
Milk Boy got off nearly a length
ahead of Gretchen. Gretchen closed
up and passed him before reaching
the quarter, Milk Boy breaking bad
ly; and he broke again between the
quarter and half. Getting down to a
trot, he gained rapidly and Gretchen
broke and was passed. But Milk Boy
again broke, and Gretchen shot ahead
and got in first, by about six lengths.
Time, 800.
FOURTH HEAT.
There was some delay about getting
off, but when this was done, Milk
Boy had the lead by about half a
length. He broke, however, before he
was fully one hundred yards from the
score. Gretchen kept trotting well,
and at the quarter pole led by several
lengths. Milk Boy broke again and
fell far behind, enough to have been
distanced, it was said; and broke again
on the home stretch. The heat was
won by Gretchen in three minutes,
who also won the race.
CLOSING SCENES
An imprOmptu running race-mile
heat-arranged between sOrrel horss
owned by G. Amer, and a gray horse
owned by Jesus Machado. The latter
won in 2.:44
There were two short distance scrub
races after that, and this closed the
days dOings on the track. The stretch
for home, now, by the visitors in vari-
Gus kinds of vehicles, and amidst a
cloud of dust, was very animated and
boisterous.
Henry McGregory, the trainer of
The Moor, is from Detroit, Michigan,
and has very greatly improved the
Moor's speed since he has had charge
of him, which has been only a short
time, however.

In the Rink.
There were only two new entries
yesterday-that of a carriage, by l..
Lichtenberger; and of a sampler, one
hundred and fourteen years old, by
Mrs. VIM. Pridham.
One of the very interesting features
of the exhibition is the prOfuse dis
play, by Childs, of such household
articles as are associated with hard
ware. This part of the Rink is very
brilliantly Illuminated and exhibits
the articles, resplendent in polish and
glittering like young Orbs, with fine
effect No one can fail of noticing
the entry.
The beautiful saddles and other horse
equipments of Mr.. Foy's, at the far
end of the Rink, command admira-
tion and attract great deal of atten-
ton. All of the workmanship is eX-
quisite.
An eminently attractive and inter-
esting entry is that from TIA. Garey's

street. 1t consists of specimens of the
japanese dwarf lemon; lemon tree
