Suicide at Cheshire.

Graham s. Kendrick, 90 years of age, recently an employe of the Cheshire Watch company, committed suicide in Cheshire, Tuesday evening, by taking chloride of potassium. He boarded at the Park house, kept by Henry c. Terrell, and his body was found lying on his bed shortly after 6 o'clock. Poverty probably was the cause of the act The factory had been closed for four months and he was out of funds. He is thought to have wife and two chil- dren living in Boston, to which place a telegram was sent.

THE FAIR.
Under Way for thu
Exhibits.

Arrangements Under Way for the
Exhibits.
Preparations for the Fair next week
are fast approaching completion. A few
OF the horses have not yet reached the
grounds but the most noted animals are
at the track and with few exceptions are
in good condition. Arab looks ready for
the contest for which he is entered, and
Elector, one OF Electioneer's offspring, is
in excellent trim. These two are the
only animals Hickox has at the track.
Stamboul is also in fine form, but Man
zanita will probably remain quietly in
the stable, instead of taking part in
what promises to be the most interesting
event Of the meeting. She is still very
lame and will hardly be able to show her
gait to the Los Angeles public. To-mor-
row the last of the animals will arrive
The arrangements for the exhibit
were not completed yesterday, but as the
exhibits will not commence to arrive
until tomorrow the building will be
ready in time. The display is to be
made in a building at the rear of the
grand stand, where ample space is being
laid off for very large collection. Next
year tits intended to have an iron build
ing arranged for the display, and the
gallery of this will be set aside especially
for the ladies. By Monday next every
thing will be in place, and it is expected
that the number of visitors to the fair
will be very large.
The streets leading to the grounds yes
terday were very dusty, and it has been
suggested that they be well sprinkled all
next week, when many visitors are to be
in town.

Lucas trial was interrupted by the ap-

woman who was tried on a charge OF
having killed her husband, on San Fer
nando street, last April, and who was ac-
quilted about month ago.
"There is some property in the posses

have restored to me, your honor" she
said, addressing the court.
"What is it?" asked Judge Cheney.
''It is a revolver" said Mrs. Waters.
"It is the pistol with which she shot
her husband" said Mr.. Cbelf, who was
present.
Clerk Eddleman handed over the fatal
weapon, after unloading it.

THE GREAT RACE.
COnsuelo Defeats Del at
Agricultural Park.
NEWS FROM THE OIL REGIONS.
Two New Wells Developed in the
PicO District-FOur Hundred
Barrels Day.


A thousand spectators yelled them-
selves hoarse yesterday afternoon, roused
to the highest excitement by one of the
prettiest races ever seen at the AgricuT-
tural Park. 1t is unnecessary to detail the
reasons which led to the making of the
match under notice. 1t is sufficient to say
that every straight sportsman in Los An
geles was present to witness Senator Il.
R. Den's bay stallion Consuelo run q
mile race against Mr.. Pete Dornalech'a
black gelding Del. Betting was fast and
furious. At first Consuelo was a hot IA
vorite, but the support accorded to tho
black gelding was.so strong and steady,
that soon there was little to choose be-
tween them. Weight of money, however,
told, and as was predicted the current
price at the finish was $40 to So on Con-
suelo. At these odds some $1,000 went
into the poolbox, which was under the
personal control of Mr.. N. Covar-
rubias. At 3 P. M. the horses were
called to the front of the Judges stand
and the Judges, Messrs. H. l. Rodman,
whom all were pleased to see once m ore
convalescent and able to enjoy his favor
ite pastime, A. +. De Camp and Captain
A. w. Barrett cautioned the Jockeys,
Alfred on Consuelo and Hitchcock ON
Del, that any unfair riding or jostling
would be severely punished and admon-
ished each lad to-do the best for his
horse. Mr.. Bourne, the starter, then
took the contesting steeds under his con-
troll, Del having the pole. There was
one false start, followed by a break
away, but at the third attempt they got
away to an exceedingly good start, Del
having perhaps bit the best of it. Del
led by half length at the one-eighth
post and increased his lead to length
and half at the quarter, Alfred hay-
ing waiting orders. Hitchcock now took
a strong pull on Del, and the half was
about length to the good. At the FIVE
eighths of mile Consuelo's rider began
to make use of his mount, but he was
still length behind at the three. quarter
post, Del still going easy. Com
ing into the straight Consuelo
closed the gap and 300 yards
from home, was at Del's saddle girtAs.
Hitchcock here called upon Del for an
extra effort, but the black gelding could
not respond; and amid great excitement
Consuelo passed him eighty yards from
the winning post, and won after whip
ping finish by three-quarters OF length.
The time, AS 18th, was not fast, but
this was owing to the fact that EACH
jockey had waiting orders, and were
afraid to force the pace. The crowd
greeted the winner with ringing cheers,
and never was more enthusiastic con-
course seen on race course. An obiec-
lion, which can only be called frivolous,
was raised against the winner, but it was
properly and promptly oyerruled by the
judges.

District.

Two More Wells for the Pic0 OIL
Seven miles due west from Newhall.
in the San Fernando range of mountains,
is what is known as the Pico Oil District,
one OF the richest and most prosperous
sections Of the country. 1t is operated
by the Pacific Coast Oil Company, who
have monopoly of that part of the
country, and who, it is said, has paid out
from $50, 900 to $100, 900 to prevent any
other wells than their own from being
developed. At the present time they
have twenty-five wells pumping oil from
a depth Of from l,6QQ to 1900 feet,
and are turning out 400 barfss....
a day, all of which is shipped
to San Francisco. The oil is of the best
quality obtained on the Coast, and the
demand for it is very great, SO the COM
pany has decided to sink two more shafts.
One of these is on the Pico claim and the
other on the Wiley, and men are hard at
work drilling, with instructions to 20
down as far as necessary until the grade
of oil necessary is obtained. The COM
pany controlling this property bought up
and suppressed, it is said, the report of
the Pacific Mineral Bureau for 1874, be-
cause it gave information that would
have caused rush of landseekers that
was not desired.
