Notes Gathered at the Track Yes
terday-Domestic Stock Coming
for Exhibition.


Association are now almost completed
and Monday morning will see every
thing in readiness. Although a good
many of the exhibits are already upon
the ground, it is expected that many
more will oe on hand today or early to-
morrow, so that the opening day prom
Uses to be as interesting as any. The
dire ctors of the association have left no
stone unturned to provide for the accom-
mediation OF the public, and granted fair
weather. there is very little doubt that
the fair will eclipse all former successes.
The entries of stock for exhibition are
coming in rapidly, and as nearly every
sail at the track is already occupied, it
is expected that large number of tenn
porary ones will have to be put up at
short notice.
The horses that are to participate in
the races during the week are nearly all
on the grounds, which presented very
lively appearance yesterday morning.
Trainers, jockeys and stablemen have
been hard at work for the past few days
getting their charges into condition. A
great many visitors of more or less sport
ing proclivities have been there daily
of late, for the purpose of watching the
horses at work, with the point in view of
forming an idea as to their merits.
Those in charge of the various stables
have been very courteous to visitors, and
have exhibited their charges with pride
to all corners. The stalls which have
attracted most attention are those con-
tanning the horses entered in
running races. OF these II. L.
Samuels and W. Kelly have the longest
string, all of whom show clean bill of
health. 1t includes Susie s., likely

In addition to the races already pro
vided in the programme several specia
ones are in prospective, notices of which
will be given in due time. On Wednes-
day the ladies' riding contest will take
place and promises to be more attractive
than any before. Owing to the superior
ity OF the prizes offered the entries have
been unusually numerous this year anc
there is every prospect of most exciting
and keen competition between the fair
equestriennes.
On Tuesday and Friday afternoons
exhibition games of polo will be played
by picked teams of the members of the
Southern California Polo Club, and will
doubtless prove drawing card to al
lovers OF eqestrianism and sport.
The directors of the association hav,
paid special attention to tn,
approaches to the track, which OF
former occasions have been the cause o
80 much unpleasant comment, and visit
ors will have no cause for complaint thi
week. The roads and driveways in tn
vicinity are now all in good repair, an,
are being sprinkled daily, so that the dis
comfort of driving through clouds of dust
as formerly, will be entirely removed.
