About one o'clock yesterday great
concourse of teams, containing large
representation Of the ladies Of Los An
geles, was ON the road to the Agricultu-
raj Park, to take in races which were
supposed to be Of special interest. When
the hour arrived for sending off the
horses in the trotting event a very large
assemblagc was on the ground, San Ber-
nardino, San Diego and Ventura coun-
ties being largely represented, with q
considerable sprinkling Of delegates from
the other counties composing the Sixth
Agricultural District. The proceedings
were enlivened, at intervals, by melo-
lodious strains from the City Band
About :30P. NJ. the animation around
the pool box was at fever heat. The
order Of favortes which had prevailed
at the pool-selling at McGinnis's saloon
Saturday night was quickly reversed,
and Mr.. L. J. Roses Center forged ahead
| as the favorite, with Mr.. e. J. Baldwin's
St. James good second and Mr.. e,
Dunham's Bullet poor third. A good
deal Of money went into the pool box on
| this event.
Preparations for business were made
by electing the Messrs. II. NJ. Larue. T.
A. Finnegass and L. M. Sanford as
Judges. Mr.. Larue was chosen Chair
man. Col. Oscar Macy was elected
Judges Clerk and Timer and Mr.. L. c.
Parrish was selected as the Distance
Judge.
st. James drew the pole, and was
driven by Gregory, Bullet, driven by
Covarrubias, was second, Center, driver
by Mabyn, taking the outside. After
quite number of feints the horses got
away, st. James taking the lead and
keeping it to the end Of the heat coming
under the wire in 2:35 by couple Of
lengths, Center second and Bullet third
The success of st. James in this heal
did not improve his selling in the pools,
Center heing evidently settled upon by
the knowing ones as the winner. There
were still number of infatuated people
who were willing to bet their money or
Bullet as forlorn hope.
In the second heat Center came gal
lantly to the front, st. James second apd
Bullet third. Time OF heat 2:33l. st
James was, plainly seen, at this stage O
the race. to be winded and beaten, while
it became apparent that Bullet was il
too fast class to make his presenc'
felt.
The third heat was taken by Centel
In capital style, in 2:33. and the Judge'
announced that the next event would b.
