The largest assemblage we have ever
seen upon the track was gathered at
Agricultural Park yesterday. Myriads
of teams were dispersed about the
grounds, while the grand stand was
crowded to inconvenience. A large rep
sentation of the elite of Los Angeles So
ciety were ranged around the judges
stand, and fair women and brave men
made the day gala. A very large busi-
ness was done at the pool box, and bet
ting ran high throughout the live-long
day.
THE LADIES RACE.
The first event on the tapis was the
ladies' ten-mile race. The entries were
Miss Lawrence, of San Diego, Miss
Chilson, Of Norwalk, and Miss Blacklaw.
Of the Centinela. Pools were sold on
this race at rattling rate, the San Diego
lady proving to be the favorite, at great
odds. The confidence was justified by
her resolute and jaunty step, which was
apparent the moment she set foot upon
the. track, by the perfection of her
mounts, by the convenience and grace
Of her costume, long skirts being dis
pensed with, and by her perfect aplomb.
The race occupied twenty seven minutes
and four seconds, and was won by Miss
Lawrence with the utmost ease. 1t was
attended by a casualty which, fortu-
nately, did not prove serious While
mounting Miss Chilson was thrown over
backwards, landing squarely on her
head. She was carried off the track and
was, Of course, retired from the contest.

Hardman drew the pole, Hunter

attempts to get off, a fair start was
made, Don Carlos leading easily all the
way, with Valentine second, Hardman
third and Hunter fourth, which order
was maintained at the wire. Time,
1854.
The second heat was won with similar
ease by Don Carlos, Hunter coming in
second, Hardman third and Valentine
fourth. Hardman beat Hunter under
the string, but was put back for run
ming. Time, 2:37h. The third heat and
the race was scooped in by Don Carlos,
Hardman coming in second and taking
second money, and determining the pools
in favor OF the field.
In the pool selling in this race Don
Carlos was not included, on account Of
his manifest superiority to the other
contestants. In the betting, Valentine
was hot favorite, to the serious pecu-
mary damage of those who reposed any
confidence in the San Bernardino nag.
THE TRor For Two-yEAR- oLDs.
The next race was as follows;

Salisbury was Withdrawn, narrowing
down the trial of speed to Roses geld
ing, beautiful animal, and the Qeeen
of America, handsome filly.
The patience Of the spectators was
severely tried by the feints of the jock
eys in scoring. The first theat was won
by the gelding with apparent case. in
2:53i. The second heat was much bet
ter contested. Roses colt forged ahead
and kept there until the homestretch,
when the Queen made good spurt and
almost Tapped him. The gelding came
under the wire a half a length ahead,
but on the gallop. in 2.5l.
After consultation, the judges decided
to give the heat to the filly on account
of the gelding's bad breaking.
The third heat and the race were
taken by the Rose gelding, in good
style, in 2:52a. During the interval
between the second and third heats,
owing to the awarding Of the second
heat to the Queen, the latter became a
great favorite, reversing the order Of
sales which had prevailed before.
