Los Angeles Bred Horses Win.

c0ngratulatlon. There were Z60 entries,
Los Angeles sending less than twenty of
this number, yet nine blue ribbon win
ners hailed from Southern California.
The Los Angeles bred horse Costa Rica,
won in the east, and Pescador, two
year-old, raised in this county, also won
at the San Francisco races. Pescador is
by Gano, a son of Grinstead and is in
the stable of Dave Bridges.
The standing of the League clubs ap-
pears in the HERALD this morning. 1t
is rather early for predictions, but the
chances of the Bostonians appear to be
very bright.
Hotspur won a sensational race yes
terday, beating Marigold in the record
breaking time of 5000 for one and
three-fourth miles. Glidelia, who
previously held the record, ran the
distance in 8 :01 at Saratoga, with 1I6
pounds up in 1882. Marigold, who
finished second, is the mare who broke
the 3-year-old record of the world 10
two miles over the Los Angeles track.
Hotspur was not much account until
this year. Dan Dennison had the horse
in Los Angeles for meeting. He is by
Joe Daniels, out of a sister to Jim Doug
lass. As a 3-year-old he started twelve
times, and was a winner twice. His
record last year was not any better.
RinfaX won gallant race yesterday.
The time for the three-fourths mile
is not given, but it must have been very
close to 1:14. Argyle, the sire of Rim
! fax, is owned by l.. j. Rose. Argyle is
by Monday, dam Cuba by Imported
Australian. The only two Argyles
trained in 1890 were Fairy and Rinfax,
and they were admittedly the best =
year-olds in the state. Yesterdays per-
formance increases the value of Argyle
formances of RinfaX has already ap-
peared in this paper. He was bred at
Palo Alto, ard is owned by Tom Will
Jams. Thirteen-sixteenths of mile is
an unusual distance, and no record for
that distance appears in any of the rae
ing guides. The statement sent out by
the Associated Press about breaking the
record is probably correct, however
LOS ANGELES BLUE RIBBON WINNERS.
The dogs sent from here to the San
Francisco bench show did splendidly.
A gentleman last evening kindly placed
a private telegram at the disposal of the
sporting editor. E. X. Benchley won
first with Kan Koo in the pointer dog
class. Captain Anderson secured the
blue ribbon for his fox hound Yoicks.
Chris Kremple's Cervus won the first in
the deer hound class. H. Y. Evans
Tipetta was placed first in the pointer
bitch puppy class. John Machell' 8 Nun
carried off the blue ribbon for Gordon
setter bitches. Los Angeles captured
almost everything in sight in the Irish
setter class. J. w. England's Nora
| Mavourneen was first in the Irish setter
bitch Glass; j. G. Cline's Mac B. cap
! tured the blue ribbon for best Irish set
,ter pup, while Captain Anderson's
Lightning was placed first as the best
Irish setter bitch pup. Dick Meningitis
! Chesapeake Laddie, also secured the
blue ribbon.
Mrs. DR.. Lummis' Amado was second
in the mastiff class. Captain Anderson's
Golden Patch was second in the fox ter
rier bitch class. Thomas S. Casey's
Prisky Viola was also second in the fox
terrier bitch puppy class. E. X. Bench
ley's Kioto was third in the pointer
bitch class. j. w. Edwards Flora Jane
was placed third in the Gordon setter
bitch class, and Godfrey Fritz's Eng
lish setter, Prince Charles, was awarded
! fourth place.
1t will be seen that Los Angeles came
ont with flying colors. Our dog men
won no less than nine frsts. This is a
remarkable showing, especially as only
sixteen dogs were sent from Los Angeles.
We are most decidedly in the swim.
