SECONDS.
Third heat-The pair skirmished for
few minutes for start, and were finally
despatched with Gambo an open length
in the lead. He cut out the pace at a
slashing gait and maintaining his ad-
vantage to the head of the stretch, came
away and won very easily by ten lengths,
Amazon pulling up lame half way up the
stretch. Time, 4916 seconds.
During the interval between the first
and second heats of the Ventura cup,
the ladies equestrian tournament was
held. and proved to be one of the most
interesting features on the card. There
were only two contestants, Mrs. G. A.
McElfresh, of Santa Monica, and Mrs.
L. Colby, OF this city, but each was a
host in herself. The former, who was
mounted ON big solrel horse, was at
tired in black habit, surmounted by a
dark blue jockey cap, while the latter
wore bronze-colored habit and tall hat,
and rode superb bay colt, which she
subsequently changed for silver gray
pony. Each gave an exhibition of her
horsewomanship in series of daring
feats, land the spectators loudly applauded
both every time. Finally, however,
so we'll were they matched that
Mr.. L. j. Rose, who had consented to
assist the judges, announced that it was
an utter impossibilitv to discriminate
between two such perfect equestriennes,
and that the first premium would be
awarded to each of them. This decision
was received with enthusiastic cheers,
and the ladies bowling their acknowl-
edgments of the compliment bestowed
upon them, dashed off to the stable.
The talent received another severe
blow by the sensational victory of Naicho
B in the third race, the Riverside handi-
cap for ali ages, al one mile and d quar-
ter. The knowing ones pinned their
faith on l.. J. Roses Rico, who was con-
stituted strong favorite at 3 to against
Marigold and 5 to against the field,
but he was never in it and finished a
bad third. Naicho BIS time, 2:O814, is
within quarter OF a second of the state
record for the distance.
The race-The flag fell to capital
start at the first attempt, and they came
up the stretch we'll punched. Passing
the stand for the first time the order was
Marigold, Naicho B., Rico, Guadalupe
and Four Aces, but there was very little
to choose between them, there being
scarcely length between first and last.
They kept we'll together to the first turn
when Naicho B., who had the pole, shot
to the front. At the quarter mark he
was a clear length in the lead, while
Marigold and Rico were racing side by
side, two lengths ahead of the last pair.
Going down the stretch Rico commenced
to move up rapidly and the spirits of his
hackers rose to fever heat. His tail
went up at the half mark, however, and
he again gave way to Marigold; but
Naicho B. never faltered, and showing
his heels to the field at the head of the
stretch he romped home an easy winner
by six lengths from Marigold. Rico,
Four Aces and Guadalupe finished in
the order named. Time, 2 0SM.
Although it was five o'clock before the
third race was over, the horses were
called out for the three-minute trot, and

also dropped behind. Sultandin was
in the lead with Orphan Girl
at his wheel, at the quarter post,
but the mare got on even terms with
him and the pair went down the back
stretch shoulder to shoulder to the half
mile post. The other two were
stretched out behind, Alec being twenty
lengths away. Carrie S. commenced to
move up however at the turn, and at the
head OF the stretch, she had passed Or
-phan Girl, who broke badly in turning.
A pretty race ensued, but Sultandin was
equal to the occasion and won handily
by length from Carrie S. who came
under the whip at the finish on the run.
Orphan Girl was third and Alec just
managed to escape being shut out by
running in. Time, 1929.

with the aid of parachute, landing in
the center of the track.

The Hall Display.
The display of all sorts of Southern
California products at the portion of the
Sixth district fair, held at the chamber
OF commerce, is one which both old
timers and tender-feet will enjoy seeing,
for few old timers are aware of the i'm
mense variety of displays which the
counties embraced in the district can
and are making.
