fully realized. About ten o'clock the
crowd commenced its journey towards
the Park, and by noon the grounds
were crowded with vehicles and peo-
pie. The hurdle race was the object
of the public interest on account of its
novelty as well as the popularity of
the riders. The wheel of fortune and
chuck luck piled their little games,
filling up the time pleasantly until the
race was called. Noyes' stock sale had
small attendance owing to the other
attractions, and was finally suspended
until n more auspicious time.

AT an early hour it was announced
that. Il. jacques, Of Santa Barbara +,
and Adolph Cells, of Los Angeles, had
been withdrawn. This created con-
siderable excitement among betters,
rs Mr.. jacques had figured largely in
the pools. The uneasiness among pool
buyers was settled when Judge East
man announced all pools on Jacques
Oft. Pool selling then commenced
brisllly on the remaining riders, the
field being freely taken.
The weighing of the riders showed

with one pound shrinkage. Mr..

had to carry lead to come up to the

toned down to 1852 pounds.
In drawing for positions Mr.. Bold
got the inside, Mr.. Tenniel second,

clock in good shape, the horses cam
tering over the first hurdle neatly, and
passing under the string close togeth-
er. Before reaching the second hur-
dle Hutchinson took the lead passing
Bold in the first quarter, but fell over
the hurdle. Bold being Immediately
behind fell over him and Tenniel tum-
bled over both. Bold and Hutchinson
got up, remounted gallantly, and Bold
cleared the the third hurdle and was
then buclled off and dragged on the
track some distance, as Hutchinson
had been after the second hurdle.
Hutchinson got up and started for the
third hurdle, but his horse baked and
would not take it, but fell again. Ten
nlePs horse ran away after throwing
him, and he WAS lained slightly and
scratched about the face. 1t was evil
dent after these falls that Mr.. Seymour
would win the race.
When Mr.. Seymour passed the wire
the applause was deafening. Mr.. Herd
man followed him closely, but the 9TH
er three riders were still on the track,
Mr.. Bold riding in on his horse, Mr..
Tennel walking in, and Mr.. Hutch
inson arriving III Judge Sepulveda's S
buggy.
Taken altogether it was the most
exciting race of the season. The fa-
vorites as usual were beaten, and the
field won. There was more learned
yesterday about hnrdle racing than
was known before i'm Los Angeles, and
it will he more popular in future. Mr..
