Races aud Jumping Match

The general dearth of amusement in
sporting circles, which has existed for
some time in Los Angeles was broken
by the trotting and jumping matches
at Agricultural Park yesterday. The
interest which had been growing in
this affair for some time, together with
the fine weather drew out large
crowd and the excitement over the for
tunes of the day was at high ebb.
THE TROTTING MATCH
was to harness and rule for $500 side
best in 5.
w. J. Welch named g .ormento,
and G, w. Leihy G Thomas H.
DR.. L. s. Stairway, of our city, Col.
VIM. Burdett, of San Francisco, and
Mr.. Henry Scott, of indianapolis, Ind,
were chosen judges, and at the APP
pointed time the horses came to the
scratch.
Tormento had been the decided fa-
vorite, selling in the pools at five to
two, and for once it happened that the
favorite did not disappoint his back
ers. TOrmento won very handsomely
in three straight heats. Time, 2:38,
2:39, 2:3S. A good deal of money
changed hands on the result.
THE JUMPING MATCH
Between Westley and Lucas from the
fact of its previous unsatisfactory trial
and postponement had created quite
fure in betting circles. Pools sold 500
to 30 in favor of Westley, and in this
case, too, the favorite came up to ex-
pectations. Westley at his first jump
made Is feet inches. Lucas in three
jumps scored the following distances
respectively Is feet, II feet inches
and II feet inches. The judges
promptly decided in favor of Westfey
and he accordingly took the $500
purse. The judgeswere Col. Stanford
and Mr.. l.. Seebold with Col. Bur-
dett as referee. About $4,000 worth of
pools on this match were paid Off at
the Fashion saloon last night and
several remain to be settled to-day.

Some days ago our local press in
formed us that the Sheriff of Santa
Barbara had arri we'd in this city. We
published the news though rather
surprised that we had not as yet
seen aur amiable friend. But we now
learn it was some one else whom our
colleague mistook for Mr.. Covarru-
bias.
We are told that the coal from the
mine discovered by oar good friend
Don Ramon Sotelo, is of an excellent
quality. The work is considerably ad-
vanced, and we congratulate Mr.. So
telo and Co., only wishing that they
may get enough coal to supply the en-
tire world.
All those that take an interest in
the science of astronomy had a de-
lightful time Thursday evening while
observing the partial eclipse of the
moon, and which we announced We'd
nesday last. The magnitude of the
eclipse was 929S of the moons dame
ter. We witnessed the phenomenon
through an excellent telescope and
amused ourselves while contemplating
its gloomy appearance.
The case of Mr.. Dalton which in
wolves the title to large amount of
property in the vicinity of Third street

searches Judge Widney came across
an old map of the property in dispute
which it is claimed will completely

the Ayuntamiento to Mr.. Dalton, and
by him transferred to Mr.. Coronel.
The map has been placed on file with
the County Recorder and it will no
doubt form an important feature of
the trial.

Specimens for the Centennial.

We are glad to see that the land de-
partment of the Central and Southern
Pacific Railroads is moving in the
matter of supplying specimens of Cal
ifornia products for the Centennial
Exhibition. No State in the Union
has such wonders in the way of vege-
tations to exhibit as California, and to
have these poorly or improperly re-
presented at the grand Centennial
would be nothing short ofa calamity
for the State. Yet there was dandger
of such failure on our part as it is well
known that "what is everybodys
business is nobody's business Now
that the railroad companies have
taken hold of the matter with strong
hand we need not fear but that CAL
fornia products will cut the important
figure which they deserve.
Mr.. J. e. Jackson, agent of the
Pacific railroad at this place has re-
ceived the following note from Col.
Hewitt with circular from the Land
Office which will fully explain them
