FAIR PROSPECTS.
THE PREPARATIONS COMPLETE
FOR TUESDAYS EVENTS.
A Splendid Cattle Exhibit Arranged
Some of the Entries-The Speed Con-
tests To Be Great Events.

Hundreds OF people visited the Agri-
cultural park yesterday, and the interest
displayed demonstrates that the fair,
which begins tomorrow, will be sue
cess in every particular. In fact, it
looks as if the accommodation for the
cattle and live stock will be inadequate.
The stock exhibit will be far ahead of
anything ever seen in Southern Califor-
mia. The 'blue RIBBON" herd of Durhams
brought here from San Jose by Ed Youn-
ger will attract considerable attention
from the farmers. This celebrated herd
has now more premiums and gold medals
than any herd ever exhibited in Cali
fornia. Sessions and Bigelow, of Lyn-
wood, are to the front with splendid
exhibit of Guernseys. The Jersey class
has filled in good style, and there will
be lively competition in the Berkshire
hog class.
Today is the last day to enter stock
for premiums. The judges will begin
their duties on Tuesday morning and.
the 'blue ribbon" stock parade will
take place on Thursday afternoon. The.
secretary will be at the track all day to-
receive entries and attend to other
business connected with the fair. The
directors expect the biggest opening day
on Tuesday in the history of the asso-
citation. A capital programme has been
arranged The first event will be called
at one O'Clock.
Matt Storm arrived at the track on
Saturday with string of eight. Mari.
gold, the Los Angeles Deaby winner,
looks as fit as fiddle, and Kildare APP
pears to be in better form than last
August. The Appleby string of hang
tails came in for some attention. Rain
drop and Odette look in fine fix. The
Rose stable was inspected by scores of
visitors. The horses who will spor.
silk at the coming meeting are as fine as
gold, especially Rico and Conrad. The
latter is probably the best two year old
colt in the state, but he has
not walkover in his race by any
means, as according to the conditions
he will have to pack 127 pounds, which
is terrific weight for two-year-old.
Conrad is great colt, however, and is
now in grand fettle. Rico, Marigold
and Raindrop are three we'll matched
three-year-olds, and it will be horse
race when they come together in the
Pasadena handicap. On the opening
day on Tuesday, Seminole, Midnight,
Cheerful, Mystery and Zingerella will
battle for supremacy. Seminole is
full sister OF Hanover, and is reported
| to be as fast as ghost. Midnight is a
corker at half a mile. Mystery has run
several good races since she left Los
Angeles in August. Zingerella, flly
by Ed Corrigan, makes her debut on
the American turf. She is liable to be
the surprise of this very open race.
Hummer, the PAGER, who is matched
against Silkwood, was out for an airing
yesterday. The horsemen have a good
deal to say about this race, and opinion
is very evenly divided as to their merit
Silkwood has not yet arrived at the track,
but can be expected today.
J. G. Hill of Ventura has select
string of runners at the track, including
Sid, one of the best bred horses in this
part of the country. Francisco Estu-
dillo also arrived yesterday with several
hangtails.
The five starters in the 2:2S class,
which is to be decided on the opening
day, are now at the track. Bashan halls
from Santa Barbara. Mckinney is we'll
known to the patrons of the races in
this city. Jim Leach lis said to be bet
ter than ever. Lucy R. looks in SPLEEN
Olu COAulUlOli, dllu uAOCl VIC ClCVcI uld-
nipulation of Walter Mahen is liable to
redeem herself. Dick Richmond is the
| fifth starter. Betting should be brisk
over this race.
Dan Murphy, Gambo, Ida Glenn and
Daisy d. are to arrive today from
Visalia. Amazon and Cornet, two of
the formidable contestants in the on e.
half mile heat race, are now at the
track. With such flyers as Ida Glenn,
Dan Murphy, Comet, Amazon and
Gambo in race, betting will be fast
and furious. The Santa Maria folks are
to be here to back Comet, while the
Norwalkers will play Steve Stroud's
Amazon to a man.
In short, the prospects for great
meeting are very bright and the direc-
tors are in high feather in consequence.
The public OF Los Angeles should turn
out in force Tuesday afternoon and en-
courage by their presence the efforts of
