AMONG THE EXHIBITS.
The Chino Ranch exhibit is very tax
ing one and is in charge of Mr.. H. G.
Spoor who has handled Mr.. Gird's stock
for the past three years. In the parade
to-day will be driven a four-in.hand
team of 3-year-olds, the average weight
of each of which is 1925, pounds and who
were not even broken to halters six
weeks ago. All of the Chino stock is in
tirst.class condition, the working animals
evidently being well tended in their
home stables. Out of his 500 head Mr.
Gird had of course the advantages of Sc
lection not accorded to other competi-
tors and the animals he has chosen will
certainly gain favor in the judges eyes
when the day of awarding the prizes ar
rives.
The collection of Jerseys of MIR.
Durfee is very interesting one and
many journey to "Cleveland's" stall,
for he is acknowledged to be one of the
finest animals on the Pacific Coast.
Arizona is represented by fine black
stallion, Forrest Clay" entered by Mr..
G. T. Beckers, one of the live men of
Phoenix.
The horticultural display will doubtless
be very pretty when the final touches
are made, as the Pavilion has been gaily
bedecked with festoonings and flowers,
while the National colors of America,
France, Mexico and England adorn
the walls and eenter-posts. The
Secretary's desk is rendered quite
imposing by huge banana plant, which
is placed before the desk where the
courteous officials in charge of the books
are ever ready to attend to the multifari-
GUS wants of exhibitors. The specimens
of industry sent by Mrs. r. P. Ingram
are very creditable, one article, Clog
cabin" quilt, containing among its S,l12
pieces piece of turkey red satin from
| Mrs. Abraham Lincoln's wedding dress.
The collection of pressed ferns, entered
| by Mrs. De Camp, attracts considerable
attention and is as much admired as the
tapestry which decorates the wall of the
adjoining stall. Messrs. w. N. Hawley
& Co. have varied and excellent display
of agricultural implements OF view and
appear to have frightened all other indi-
viduals in that line out of the field. On
long table in the centre of the building
is to be placed the fruit exhibit, but this
ss not yet ready for inspection, the prin-
cipal attraction yesterday was large
pyramid of magnificent oranges, Navel,
Mediterranean sweet and seedlings,
grown by Henry Claussen at his ranch
near the Cahuenga.
| A pleasant hour can be weiled away in
the midst of such attractions, but itIwould
be advisable for those intending to make
a complete examination of the exhibits to
arrive before the time set for the
races as very few can withstand the
Temptation of the judges bell, and this
was very noticeable yesterday, the
Pavilion being completely emptied dur
ing the time the horses were on the
track. Taken altogether the day was a
very pleasant one, and nature crowned
the entire efforts of the directors of the
proceedings with weather as perfect fol
such an occasion as could be possible.
THE RACES.
For the opening day of the Los Ange
les fall meeting, a good programme at
tracted two thousand people to Agricul
tural Park, and the racing was such as tt
iamply repay them for their attendance
The Association, true to their promise
had the approaches to the track wei
sprinkled and the public was relieved O
the annoyance which the omnipresen
dust of California causes to travellers
The opening event OF the day
la half mile dash for 2-year
olds, attracted six good lookin,
Youngsters to the post and of these
