Horses and Drivers Noted by a Herald
Reporter-The Proper Thing
to Do on Pleasant
Afternoon.

Driving ls growing In popularity in
Los Angeles, as visit to the favorite
boulevards any afternoon in the week
will clearly show. The street especially
set aside for speeding purposes is San
Pedro, between Seventh and Fifteenth
streets. 1t is admirably adapted for
the purpose, being wide and smooth.
Recently the eighth and quarter miles
have been marked off for the benefit of
horse-lovers. The only drawback is that
few stones are scattered hither and
thither over the drive. "Anchor"
Hutchinson would make himself solid
with the driving public by having these
stones removed. One-tenth of the tax
payers OF this city drive horses and they
are entitled to some consideration.
