The Southern California Racing Club
had provided fine programme for the
concluding day of the spring MEETING,
and everything passed off in the most
satisfactory manner. AS a matter of
fact, the management throughout the
week has been perfect in every detail,
and Los Angeles, for once, has been
treated to a meeting where all the races
run were square and above board. AS
the afternoon progressed the crowd on
the track increased, and after Glendine
had made an example of Oliver J. in
their match race. there must have been
two thousand people on the grand stand
and along the quarter stretch.
Three horses came to the post for the
three-quarter mile heat race, and betting
was very lively. For the first heat they
got away on even terms, Cannie Scot
making the running, with John Treat
neck behind and Alaho trailing. There
was little change in their positions until
the run for home, where Alaho began to
close up. Treat and Cannie Scot raced
together up the stretch, but 100 yards
from home West challenged Alaho
and terrific race home was the result,
ALaho winning on the post by head,
dead heat for second place. Those who
had made Cannie Scott favorite prior to
the first heat, now began to hedge on
Alaho, and Baldwin's mare was eetab-
lished hot favorite. When the flag
fell for the second heat they were all on
even terms, but Dewey pulled Treat back
and Alaho made the running with Can
ME Scot neck behind. Alaho and Scot
were neck and neck into the stretch, and
the race seemed to lie between them,
but Dewey brought Treat up with one
run and won somewhat easily by neck,
agaia dead heat for second place.
Treat was now installed favorite in the
pools, and good deal of covering money
found it's way into the box. When the
flag fell John Treat jumped off in front,
and, making all the running, won in a
canter by two lengths.
Five horses came to the post for the
Los Angeles Derby. and when the bet
ting settled down Naicho B. was in
stalled favorite, with G. W. and Othello
as second choice. Every candidate was
backed in genuine fashion, and the race
presented very open appearance. The
starter got them off ON even terms at the
second attempt. G. W. made the rum
ming, with Othello and Naicho B. at his
girths, the rest close up. Passing the
stand the first time round, G. w. still
led, with Othello second, Naicho B.
third, and Carrientes and Four Aces
bringing up the rear. G. W. led at the
mile, with Othello second and Naicho B.
third, Four Aces already beaten. At the
mile and quarter G.. W. shot
out and led into the stretch
two lengths ahead of his field.
Carrientes here made his effort
only to die away Immediately, and
despite vigorous challenge from Naicho
B., G.. w. galloped home an easy winner
by two lengths, Carrientes beaten the
same distance for second place. The
victory Of G. W. was well received, and
Dan Dennison effected quite little coup
on the result. The Naicho B. party must
have lost a lot of money on the race, as
they thought his winning was certainty
and backed him accordingly.
The Consolation purse only brought
three starters to the post, and of these
Reno was in to make the running for
Hotspur. Betting on the result was
furious, and there was little to choose be-
tween Gladiator and Hotspur for favor
itism. Gladiator finally settled down as
first choice, and after hard race landed
the money for his supporters.
Reno made the running, with Hotspur
as his attendant, Gladiator lying third.
AT the half Reno was pulling double, and
his jockey at the three. quarter post, obe-
dent to instructions, gave place to Hot
spur. Hotspur led into the stretch, but
was Immediately challenged by Gladi-
ator. 1t was ding dong race up the
stretch, but Baldwin's colt outstayed his
opponent and won all out by three-quar-
ters of length, Rena bad third.
The starting throughout the week was
as good as could possibly be desired, and
Mr.. H. T. Rodman must be congratulated
on the success with which he welded the
flag, especially as it was his first attempt.
