Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-10-15

About two o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon fair crowd, for a first day,
had gathered at Agricultural Park,
comprising a pretty good sprink.
ling Of ladies. The pool box was
pretty we'll patron zed, Bullet rul.
ing the favorite in the trotting
race, with Inca second and Flora
Wiley third, pretty much as they
had stood in tho pools ut the ST..
Charles Saloon Saturday night
After the second heat Inca came
to the front as favorite, but he did
not long maintain his position.
In the quarter mile dash Walk
ing John and Nellie Grant ruled
alternately as favorite, with Marco
Forster's brown mare ste ably i'm :
proving third.
THE TROT.
The Messrs. J. G.. Eastman, f.
r. Slaughter and Charles Bonsell,
the latter of San Buenaventura,
were selected to act as judges, with
DR.. Crawford as alternate, and the
Messrs. George A. johnson, of San
Diego, and DR.. Dickey, OF San Ber-
nardino, as timers.
FIRST HEAT-Flora Wiley drew
the pole, Inca second and Bullet
third. Mr.. Titus drove his own
horse Bullet, Charley Durfee Inca
and Gus Walters Flora Wiley.
The horses got off with some bad
breaking on the part of Bullet. Inca
was ahead at the quarter pole, with
Flora several lengths behind and
Bullet pretty we'll behind Flora.
Before the half mile pole was
reached, however, Bullet shot
ahead of Flora, an action which
was initiated by Inca. Bullet took
the heat by several lengths In 2:4S,
Inca second and Flora third. Flora
only saved her distance by the
good hunor Of the judges as she
was really distanced In the first
heat.
SECOND HEAT-Bullet did some
bad breaking in this heat, which
was the real reason why Inca won
1t, which he did In 2:424, by a mere
neck. Flora was declared distanced
In this heat.
THIRD HEAT-Bullet took the
third heat In 2:433, coming in about
two lengths ahead of Inca.
FOURTH HEAT-Bullet gathered
In the fourth heat and the race In
2:423, passing under the string five
or six lengths ahead of Inca.
THE RUNNING RACE.
The quarter mile dash had en-.
crossed q great deal of attention,
but proved to be a most vexatious
race. There was an intolerable
amount of jockeying going on
down at the quarter pole and the
shades of night grew apace. After
fully three-ousrters Of an hour had
been frittered away the horses
came careering down the track
like u flash, Walking John half a
length ahead of Marco Forster's
brown mare and Nellie Grant, the
favorite-a mare upon which much
San BernardinO money had been
staked--several lengths IN the real
| of both.
