THE RACES.
An Average Day at Agricultural
Park.

There was a good attendance at Ag-
riculturai Park Yesterday afternoon to
witness the third days racing of the
Los Angeles Turf Club, and whilst
the sport was hardly as good as on the
preceding days, it was we'll up to the
average. The afternoon was if any
thing trifle too warm, and the
weather must have excited envy in
the breasts of Eastern visitors, accus :
toned as they are to the Wintry in
huences of their native States. Ow-
ing to the overnight scratchings, the
list Of starters was considerably thin
ned, and what promised to be
good days sport dwindled to
somewhat meager proportions. The
Turf Club is not to blame
Tor this, as despite the generous
purses gwen by them, there were but
few horses available to compete for
them. There is every likelihood of
an imp ovement in this respect to. day
and tomorrow, as it is said that most
OF the horses entered in the events set
Ior decision on these days will start.
In the tir.t race, a "a dash, there
were two starters, Dan M. Murphy
and Poyele. They got away at the
first attempt, and Poyole Immediately
went to the front and was soon a
length to the good. Entering the
stretch, Dan NJ. Murphy closed up,
and assuming the lead, won hands
down by four lengths. The second
event, trottiDg for the 2:35 class, was
gift for Mr.. w. Mahon's Bon Bon,
and although Ynez won two heats on
sufferance, the result was never really
in doubt. The last race set for deci-
sion, trotting foi 2-year-olds, intro
duced to the public a charming filly
bv Stamboul out Of Ynez, the property
Of NJ l.. j. Rose, Jr. She, under the
skiliull guidance OF her owner, won
two straight heats and the purse with
out the sembance OF an effort, and
brodght to a close fairly interesting
days racing.
