AMONGST the noted horsemen who are
present at Agricultural Park is Mr.. E.
j. Baldwin, the famous proprietor of the
Santa Anita stables. The last heard of
this gentleman was at the Latonia
course, in the east, and he then an
nounced it to be his purpose to abandon
the turf. This experienced breeder is
of the opinion that most of the tracks
of the country are under the control of
people who themselves are interested in
the events chronicled. and he thinks
that outsiders have no show. He made
an exception of the Latonia course, it
being one of the courses that prove the
melancholy rule. If the owner of the
Santa Anita stables, Mr.. l.. j. Rose the
owner OF the Rosemead breeding
farms, sand four or five other noted
turfmen who live in Los Angeles,
were only to put their minds to it, they
could make the Agricultural Park one
of the most notable racing centers of the
United States. They could at least en-
force here the rule OF fair play, and their
example would have great influence IN
the rest of the country. They would at
the same time give an immense impetus
to legitimate sport in Los Angeles and
Southern California generally. 1t GER
tainly ought not to requires great effort
to put Los Angeles, at least as to this
Coast, at the head of racing. There
are, of course, two marked drawbacks.
One is the great patronage which the
Sacramento District Fair receives from
the State, and the other the heavy pop
ulation and great wealth OF the coun.
ties sligning the bay. 1t is high time
that this section should assume the
position as respects turf events that the
Blue Grass region occupies in Kentucky.
The gentlemen named and limited at by
us have it in their power to place Los
Angeles in her right prominence.

The Alhambra Athletic club is worthy

diamond, paid long lease on the large
grounds and equipped good baseball and
football teams. The latest effort of the
club, however, is the best. They have
rented the largest hall in the town and
are fitting it up as gymnasium and for
rental purposes. The finest piano possi-

THERE are some philosophers who hold
that, after all, this is world OF COM
pensations. A man who has not the
wherewithal to buy his next meal. and
who, like the Son OF Man. has not W here
on to lay his head, is apt to think that
his own lot is the most wretched on
earth. And yet, OF a verify, he is often
dead wrong. The wealth of ex. U Un;ted
States Senator James G.. Fair is COM
monty estimated at $4,000. 900. To
most people that means bliss unspeaks-
bic. And yet the lot OF the ex-senator
is by no means that OF Joy unalloyed.
In moment of indefensible spleen he
divorced himself from the wife of his
youth, paying her something over $5,-
900, 900 as an incident OF the rupture.
His sons have been source of mex.
pressible vexation and annoyance to
him. One of them died after taking
course at a Kelley Institute. His re-
naming son, the other day, figured in
very peculiar role in the Bay counties,
escaping from his fathers control and
plunging head over heels into matrimony.
His spouse is credited with degree Of
publicity not generally sought after by
men who marry. The ex-senstor's rage
and pursuit OF his waywsrd boy are the
subjects of universal newspaper COM
ment in San Francisco. This young fell
low might be the preferred heir to his
fathers $20, 900, 900. As it is, he is to
receive $l,0O0,OOO by his mothers will
on attaining his twenty-ifth birthday.
From his earliest days silver spoon has
dangled in his mouth, and yet there is
scarcely q poverty stricken youth on the
Pacific Coast whose prospects, if he
makes up his mind to behave himself,
are not better than those of that spoiled
darling OF fortune, Charley Fair. 1t ap.
pears that the young fellow has news
paper aspirations. He says that the
first thing be will do when he gets his
fortune is to publish newspaper de.
voted to chronicling his own exploits.
If his escapades keep up they will fur

A SPECIAL committee of the city coun-
Gil is just now busily engaged investi-
eating the accounts of the late street
superintendent, Hutchinson. 1t is al
legged that there is deficiency of an
indefinite amount in that office under
his administration. As the story goes,
it runs from $4,000 to $4,000. There has
always been great laxity in the book
keeping details of that Office. The ex-
pert who is engaged in going over Mr..
Hutchinson's relations with the city
finds himself very much embarrassed
by the fact that that official kept no
books. He simply jotted things down
on little memoranda, and the expert
experiences a great deal of difficulty in
digging these out. The same faulty
system characterized the defaulter
Stewards accounts under Street Super
intendent Watson. Truly the plight OF the
Los Angeles taxpayer is hard. In res
idence OF nearly twenty years in this
city we cannot recall the time when
there was not some question involving
the honesty of officials. When the COM
mittee makes its reportAwe shall print it
in full, and give Mr.. Hutchinson the
benefit of the findings. ~

TIE races opened yesterday in fine
style, and the attendance was fair. The
programme for the week is one of un-
surpassed attractions, and todsy's races
will be- specially interesting. The great
stallion event will be called early. and
the attendance will unquestionably be
large. The friends OF Gossiper and Chal-
lenger will be on hand in great numbers.
1t is pleasant thing to know that our
own Los Angeles course is at last to be
the scene OF contests equsling in impor-
tance the events of the northern tracks.
Considering the fact that we have
amongst us such breeders as Mr.. E. j.
Baldwin, Mr.. L. J. Rose, and others,
the wonder is that this was not the case
long ago. 1t has been standing griev-
ance that hitherto we have not been
permitted to see our own great flyers.
While the Santa Anita stables have been
heard from on almost every noted track
on the American continent, carrying our
colors full high advanced, our noted
horsemen have shown little apprecia-
ton of the advantages offered by their
own Agricultural Park. In truth, these
have not been great. 1t is high time
that we should turn over new leaf in
racing matters. Liberal purses and q
little local pride will work a salutary
revolution in this line.

NEW POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
w. w. Stockwell Elected to Fill a
Vacancy.

w. w. Stockwell Elected to Fill a
Vacancy.
W. W. Stockwell, who was elected as
member of the police commission yes
terdsy, was the most surprised man in
Los Angeles when informed OF the fact.
Councilman Nickel, in voting for Mr..
Stockwell, did so AZ means to avoid
voting for other candidates and as a
compliment to the gentleman of his
ward. He had no idea that his election
would result. Since q Democrat could
not be elected, nor even be entitled to a
seat, Mr.. Nickel was greatly pleased al
the result of the election.
1t was as much of SURPRISE to others
of the council, and Mi. 1nnes. who
changed his vote, thus deciding the con-
test, was more pleased than he had ex-
pected to be over the election OF a Re-
publican police commissioned.
Mr.. Stockwell was candidate for su-
pervisor at the last election, and is a
very able man. He is at present en-
gagged in the grocery business at sos
Downey avenue.
When asked last night by HERALD
reporter whether he would accept the
election, he said he had not made up
his mind, but presumed he would.
''You see, the appointment was great
surprise to me. | knew nothing of it,
nor ever dreamed of such thing hap.
pening. have not had time to think
the matter over yet, but presume that ]
shall accept
