and gentlemen who evidently enjoyed the
finishes OF the races Judging from the way
thew honOred the successful competitors
with cheers and waving of tiny handker-
chiefs.
Unfortunately the wind was blowing
rather too hard for fast racing, otherwise
some records would assuredly have gone
under.
In the one mile division championship.
which was the first race of the day. the
first heat was we'll worth seeing.
Foster cut out the pace at the start, and
his opponents kept close up un i'll the fourth
lap. when Foster attempted to steal
march on them. He flew over the ground
at great speed, but young Zeigler of San
Jose was.up TO snuff, and went after Foster
as if his life depended upon the result. 1t
was a grand race and no mistake. The
spectators were excited. and the friends OF
both men cheered Justify for their choice.
As the riders shot around the curve lead
ing to the homestretch Zeigler caught up
with the Bay City man. and on they came.
passing the grand stand SIDE by side.
Which of the riders crossed the line hrst
no one but the officials could decide as
the wheels were so close together. Leigler
lie had won by an inch or so: The San
Jose bows shouted Them selves hoarSe when
the announcement of Zeigler's victory was
made.
The second heat was also magnificently
contested and, indeed. blank et ana
small one, too. could have easily covered
the three winners at the finish.
The third heat, although not so eXclt-
ing as the two previous heats, was quite
interesting. Terril cut out fast pace at
1he tart with Toepke close up until the
fourth lap, when Hamlin of Sacramento
shot from the rear and took place among
the leaders. Toepke was seen 10 pehu
himself over on his wheel and was soon
leading his opponents. The Saee nome
Terrill and Hamlin within Wheefs
length of him.
The final heat was we'll contested. Ter
rill took the lead. with Zelgler second ana
Alexander third. These positions were
retained until the riders crossed the line
on the third lap. Then Toepke tried
Spurt and kept the lead until the gong
sounded the final lap. when all the con-
testants got down to bard riding. Zelgler
came along with a rush. closely pressed
by Foster. The latter, however, was I'M
able to take the lead away from his
country cousin" and the race was won
by the San Jose crack, with Foster very
close second.
The mile ordinary race was easily won
by Cald veil. Bell, whom so much was
thought of, made poor showing ana M
ished far behind the second man.
The first heat of the one-mile novice
was a walkover for Cardinet. who re-
manned behind Hancock and Thompson
until the fourth lap. when lie shot to the
front and won hands down, so to speak.
In the second heat of the novice race
Il if~ao n N
the third lap Hutaff took second place
from Simpson: then the latter, Ga round
ing the turn for the last lap, challenged
Hutaff for place and the race home be-
tween these riders was very interesting
Dilges won easily, with Simpson second.
In the third heat Juth slipped his redal
a few yards from the line after tf~ pistol
had cracked, and the riders wsre called
back for new start

The finishing heats of the fve-mle
handicap, which were left over from
Saturday. were not as exciting as the
ouc-mle division championship contest
Grifiths, whose handicap was lis yards,
easily won the first heat.
The second heat was. however, full OF
excitement. as Fox, who bad twenty-five
yards, and Epson. who had thirty yards,
waived thei: handicaps and started from
scratch with Foster. Epson was nervous
as he sat in his saddle waiting for the
send-off. Fox, however. was as cool as
an iceberg and smiled at Foster, who
looked faded after his experience in the
saddle in the first day-of the meet.
When the report of the pistol rang out
and Fox behind. This order was kept up
until the fourth lap. when Fox dashed by
the grand stand as if lie was goingsfor the
last lap, with Epson after him. The latter
soon fell back and kept company with
Foster, who was digging in as best he
could to overhaul the leaders. Fox. TO the
surprise of all the spectators. continued
his speedy movement. and it was revea-
ton to his friends to see him pass those
who had long handicaps on him.
Rounding for the second last lap Fox
put on a still greater dash of speed and
Shot completely away from all COMPETE
TORS, winning with the greatest Of ease
by at least thirty yards. Foster rode
game race and won second place from
Epson, who was close up.
Fox could have made much better time
than 81 % had he cut ont good pace
at the start. The coast record. 5:24, is
he'd by. Olsen, but Fox can easily cut
figures off this mark If he so desires. Los
Angeles can well feel proud Of such
youngster.
There is an excellent programme of
events arranged for this afternoon, and
ali those who fancy good racing should
not neglect to witness the grand sport of
to-day.
