Up to s o'clock last night the fol-
lowing horses had been entered for
the trotting match to come off at
Agricultural Park on Thursday
next, free for all horses in the Dis
trict that have never beaten 2:45;
mile heats, 3 in 5 to harness, for u
divided purse of S2O0-$l25 to first,
$50 to second and $25 to third horse:
j. w. Donithan enters b. e. Dom

Gus Walters, b e. Cade; G. A.
Durfee, b. g. Major. BY the terms
of the race five horses are required
to enter and three or more to start.
The probabilities are that one or
two horses that we have heard
spoken of will be entered to.mor-
row, thus making the match q
certainty.
The ladies' of the Congregational
Church wish us to express their
thanks 10 the friends who assisted
III carrying out their programme
of Friday evening. Especially are
they indebted to Capt. J. M. Carter
aud his able corps of assistants, for
acceptable service rendered.; and to
those who contributed, ny their
recitations, so much to the success
OK the evening; also to Messrs.
Dotter Il Bradley, and Merriam &
Co., for articles loaned; to the lessee
of the hall for courteous attention,
aud to the press of the city for re-
peated aud kindly mention. We
are glad to learn that the affair
proved n success financially, net
ting the sum of $72, which will
fully make good the deficit in the
late picnic.
The Democratic County Conven-
ton will assemble in Union Hall
on Tuesday. We heartily hope
that it will nominate a ticket which
will arouse the enthusiasm of the
Democracy. The very fact that
Los Angeles is one of the few DEM
Ocratic communities which have
stood by the party colors should OF
itself be an impetus to an energetic
local campaign. Three men should
be nominated who deserve to be
elected; and, with this pre-requi-
site, their election will be matter
of course.
We encountered the Messrs San
ford and Cyrus Lyons yesterday,
the one from the San Fernando
valley and the other from the San
Vicente ranch. Mr.. Cyrus Lyons
Informs us that the late rains have
damaged the feed on the San vi
cente but that, on the Laguna, it is
yet in a capital state. Mr.. Sanford
Lyons tells us that the wheat in
the San Fernando valley, though
ia places showing slight signs of
"rust," is in capital plight.
Officer Lockwood last night ar
rested n man named Hotten, who
keeps saloon near the new depot,
for brutally abusing his wife.
When arrested lie was in the act
of dragging the poor woman OUT Of
the house by her hair. Officer
Frank Baker informed us that it
was feared that sine is fatally in
jured. Hotten will be held to
await the result.
The regular annual meeting Of
the Ladies' Benevolent Society will
be held at Good Templars' Hall on
Tuesday, June 4th, at 2 o'clock p.
NJ. 1t will be seen by the monthly
report of this Society that it has
accomplished much good, and its
membership should be largely in
creased and its benelicent purposes
encouraged.
The new mill on the old depot
property is being pushed forward
rapidly. The basement walls are
