The Talent Has a Hard Time at the Breeders
neeting Yesterday-Fine Weather
and Splendid Racing

And right here it may be well to state
that this meeting is the best that has
ever been given in Los Angeles. The
grounds are kept clean and are sprnkled
daily, the track is in perfect order, and
the most efficient of officials preside. The
neatness of the drivers is to be particu-
larly commended, their satin jackets and
caps being all new and especially made
for the meet. They add greatly to the APP
pearance of the races, giving them a pic
turesque look that is entirely lacking
when shirt sleeves and soileu waistcoats
are in evidence. Again. the prompt start
ing OF the program and the rapidity with
which the program is got through
is another new feature. This is almost
entirely due to the excellent work OF Mr.
w ?. McNair, the associations profess
sional starter. This gentleman has in
PRODUCED into Los Angeles method and
manner of starting horses that is new
and wonderfully satisfactory. Tie work
of this gentleman is really excellent, and
will leave the Los Angeles public in
very poor state of mind to receive again
the oldtime starts that lasted around
half an hour each
