Especial Coz respondence of the HERALD
EsCoND1Do, October 3.-The trouble
has begun. The horsemen from
Los Angeles and Santa Ana hav-
ing with them some fifteen head OF
good horses, decided yesterday afternoon
to withdraw from the races. The first
cause Of complaint was the charging of
10 per cent commission on pools. The
customary rates are per cent. in the
East, ~ in San Francisco, and per
cent. at most Of the races in Southern
California. The second kick was at the
races yesterday afternoon when the bias
in favor of San Diego horses became so
apparent and the decisions Of the judges
so reckless that the greatest in
dignation was expressed on all
sides. The upshot of the matter
was that the Board of Directors hustled
round last night and patched the thing
up. The race-frst of yesterday, tele-
graphed as postponed-was declared to
be no race. The present judges will
step down and out, and things, it is
hoped, will be as pleasant as before.
But will they? Pool-selling last night at
the Escondido hotel had to be aban-
doned on account of the unpleasantness.
There are probably $500 people in
town today. The speed programme is

The Escondido Times has changed into
a dailv. and Messrs. Trownsell, Bradbury
and Holmburg know how to run news
one Hitz has outwitted the Fair peo-
pie and the town people in thoroughly
slick manner. Escondidoi is a temperance
burgh, unless you have the sesame which
opens certain doors with combination
locks. But the imperturbable Teuton,
Hitz, calmly proceeded to build booth
within ten rods of the grand stand, and
began selling whiskey and beer without
why or wherefore. He defed the
directors, and they appealed to the
County Commissioners, and they found
that he was located on county
road which has not yet been
opened. He cannot by law be
removed for ten days, although he has
to pay ten dollars day for remain
ing. His United States license protects
