Los Angeles Claims Her Share of the
Glory by San Pedro Racing in
2:12 1-2 in a Race-Gen-
eral News.

The dear people of Los Angeles have
good reason to be proud of ''the hearse
horse," San Pedro got by Del Sur, a
black stallion that was bred by L. j.
Rose, of this place, bat now owned at
Cranston, r. l. He cut his record down
to 2:l2 Friday. at independence.

A fine trotting colt owned by Fred
w. Loeb and called Lacona, was killed
on Wednesday at the Napa races, and
his driver badly hurt. An old driver
said once in our hearing that there were
five accidents in warming up" where
one occurs in an actual race. 1t is to
be regretted that this occurs 30 often,
and yet horses must be warmed up, so
we do not see how it can be helped.

One thousand dollars for ten is a
pretty good winning, but that is what
several lucky fellows did on Tuesday at
Brighton Beach, when Mucilage won
the five furlong race. The boys will
stick to her after this. Mucilage was
bred by j. B. Haggin at Sacramento, and
is by the Irish horse Kyrle DAILY, out of
Mura.
Richmond, jr., seems to be the "trav-
cling, conquering terror" of the Califor-
nia circuit, in his own class. He pol
ished off Beaury Mac and Frank M. at
Napa, Wednesday, in 2:17, in the 2:l5
lclass. He carries them so fast the early
part OF heat that they have no speed
left with which to finish the heat and
that is why they do not make any faster
time.
Corraloid, by Simmons, won the 20
class at Columbus on Wednesday in
2:15A. The stock of Simmons, who was
an own brother to Rosa Wilkes, 218I.
has been doing very well in the past
two years, especially Simmocolon 2 :18. at
one time owned by the late Giulio Val
ensin. 1t is stated that simmocolon has
left behind him, in California, some
very promising stock.

The 4-year-old race record, PIG, 80
long held by Governor Stanford's filly,
Manzanita, by Electioneer, is at last re-
duced by an eastern bred mare, who put
good margin On n9..d1R hfrd down so fsse
on Monday last, at Columbus, Ohio.
Does anyone know if the track is full
mile?
The race record is now cut down be-
low 2:10 at Independence. Martha
Wilkes, who did the trick, is by Alcy-
one (sire of Mckinney, out of Ella
(dam of Prince Egbert, 2:291s), by
Clank Chief Charleston, 2:15, was dis
tanced in this race.

1t is great selling platter that brings
$4,000 at auction, but that is what Pac-
tolus did at Saratoga the other day. His
owner entered him at $4,000, and he won
very easily, SO that it cost his owner
$1,000 to keep him.

jay Eye See is the fastest double
gated horse in the world. He trotted
in 2:10 in 1884. and yesterday he paced
in 2:064. How about race between
him and Hal Pointer?

Old Costa Rica, cast-off from the
Santa Anita stables, got into selling
race at $500 valuation, last week,
and won the race. 1t cost his owner
$500 to retain the old goat.

The average for four heats of 2 Is BIO,
is pretty fast work when we consider
that 4-year-old won the race. 1t is
the best average on record, and replaces
that hitherto held by Palo Alto.

Limo,is reported to be hopelessly broken
down.
