Messrs. Burgess and French conclu-
ded to go to the race the other day,
and hitched mp span of horses to u
light wagon fer the purpose. The
horses either not approving of that
kind of sport, or being frightened at
the noisy crowd gathered around
them, refused to proceed, and after
about two hours coaXing were taken
out and the vehicle drawn by man
power down on Los Angeles street.
Somewhat later the horses were again
put to the wagon, and there being on
ly good looking people around, went
off in fine style. We understand that
their next trip will be to Arizona.
We had the pleasure last evening of
meeting our friend John Worswick,
late Boss of Camp No. at the Tun-

work will be finished in July notwith-
standing the many unavoidable de-
lays which occurred last winter. We
hope he will soon get into working or
der rs he is one OF the most valuable,
and accommodating and hard working
men that have been engaged on the
work.
The Los Angeles street horse rail-
road is already in operation as far as

power being horses. That road is
bound to be q great convenience to up
town merchants. Also to teamsters
rs they won't have so far to go, and
perhaps won't have to go at all.
Messrs. Buchanan and Stowell have
leased the lot adjoining the stables OF

horse power boiler and engine. They
are about to erect u shop to contain

and the Wilcox litter mandatory
will be established in connection with
it.
