aud Lyon, to come Off at Agricul-
tural Park next Sunday, those of
our citizens interested in athletic
sports will have an opportunity of
| witnessing one of the most spirited
and closely contested races ever
run in Los Angeles. Both men are
in fine condition and both mean
| business.
The fall opening of millinery
goods at Mrs. Parks yesterday was
an event in the fashion annals of
Los Angeles. The goods displayed
were among the most elegant we
have ever seen, and excited the
admiring wonder of the large
crowds present. Mrs. Park has
shown rare taste in her selections
and our danes and demoiselles
should show their appreciation by
liberal patronage.
Chief King yesterday received a
letter from Sheriff Root, of Scho-
harie, New York, informing him
that Henry Dewell, formerly of
Los Angeles, had arrived at Soho.
harie about two months ago and
that he had been arrested on q
charge of arson, for which he had
been indicted at that place some
two or three years before. Dewell,
IL will be remembered, was en-
gagged in the truck business here
and left between two days, several
months ago.
One of the novelties of Los An.
geles may be seen on the Main
street side of Temple Block. The
enterprising boot and shoe mer.
chant, Mr.. d. Maggie, of the Gen.
tennial Store, has had constructed
a mammoth boot, emblematic of
his business, which now ornaments
the sidewalk. The interesting fea.
ture about the whole thing is that
Nagle has the best and largest
stock of goods in his line to be
found in Southern California. AS
salesman he is the pink of cour-
tesy.
Santa Barbara Press: Master De
Moss Bowers to whom reference was
made in Mondays Press as having
killed wild cat in Mission Canon,
had another encounter with very
large one yesterday evening. The
animal made its appearance about
ten yards above young Bowers on
the hillside, growing fiercely. The
young hunter leveled his gun and
fired, wOunding the animal in the
head. The enraged brute then
came at his tormentor with glar-
ing eyes and crashing teeth, but
the young hero stood his ground,
when, luckily, his large dog came to
his assistance, and the feline was
dispatched. 1t measured nearly
three feet in length ard two feet in
height.
"Do hawks migrate?" asks the
Santa Barbara Press, and, in an
swer of its own question gives the
following: On Sunday morning,
about i o'clock, a family in the
upper part of the town observed an
unusual large number of hawks |
about the place, and others were
arriving single and in pairs. For
some time they flew about, chatter
ing and shrieking and apparently |
consulting in pairs and punches.
This performance was kept up for
some time, and then seemingly |
having settled upon plan of ac-
ton, they began leaving, all flying |
east and disappearing over the
mountains. Since Sunday after
noon not hawk has been seen nor
heard about the place. They were |
not all of one species, the assem-
blage consisting of hawks of all
kinds, from the little sparrow hawk
up to the large eagle hawk.
The rehearsal for the Tanning
testimonial concert, which took
place at Union Hall last night,
while only partial one, gave
promise of very satisfactory results.
Owing to the unavoidable absence
of Miss Mamie Perry, and num-
Der of the other lady vocalists, the
persons who had assembled to wit
ness the rehearsal were slightly
disappointed. There will be another
rehearsal Sunday night, at Turn
Verein Hall, on which occasion all
the participants in the seXtettes
nj onI will hn
present. The orchestra has al
ready mastered it's work in thor
ough style and the instrumental
portion Of the programme will be
rendered very creditably. The
duet from Lucia for tenor and bari
tone was rendered by the Messrs.
Tanning and Arevalo in capital
style. The public may look conf
IDENTITY for great musical treat.
