FACES ABOUT THE TRACK.
The annual fair at Los Angeles brings
together people from all parts of the
continent. Among the faces seen among
the anxious throng is that of Henry
Williamson, of Mesa city, Arizona. AS
a Pacific coaster Mr.. Williamson is a
waybacker. He crossed the plains in
l843 to Oregon and returned to his
birthplace in Ohio in 1852. In the year
following he made his second journey
across the continent and brought with
him the famous horses Belmont and
Owen Dale, the latter being a yearling.
He brought with him also mare called
Liz Givens, which, in the year following,
dropped the famous horse Langford, the
first thoroughbred horse ever foaled in
California. He won at Sacramento, in
1860, a match for $4,000 at four-mile
beats, distancing the Kentucky horse
Ashland
Langford afterwards got some good
performers, the most notable of which
was Thad Stevens, who beat Joe
Daniels, True Blue and Ballot Box at
heats of four miles. The value of
Belmont is hardly to be computed, as
outside Of racehorses altogether, he and
his sons figure In the pedigrees of two
dozen good trotting horses. Mr..
Williamson cannot be far from seventy.
five years of age but he is very erect,
with an eye that Cooper would have
placed in the face of Misunderstanding"
himself.
Hon. Eli Dennison, state senator from
Alameda, is among the visitors to the
lair. He loves bit of good horsefiesh
and enjoys good race like that OF yes
terday at Agricultural Park.
A. Q. Hamilton, the Nevada mining
man, was one of the interested specta-
tors at the races yesterday. He was in
company with Mr.. James A. Pritchard,
OF Santa Monica.
Cy. Mulkey was panied at the idea of
having to scratch Sinfax for the derby
of yesterday. "He would have carried
so much public money!" said Mr..
Mulkey, shat if 1 had started him and
he had broken down, never should
have heard the last of it."
