The Summary.

There was an improved attendance at
Agricultural Park yesterday and six
events in all were decided, three rum
ming races, a bicycle race and two har-
ness contests. The interest in the rum
ming races was as usual well sustained
and in each event a good field turned
out. The bicycle tandem race was more
satisfactory than on Tuesday, the best
man, Hatton, winning with Schmidt as
his mate. Both harness races were un-
productive of much excitement. Bastina
was made a strong favorite for the 2:25
pace, but entirely disappointed his ad-
mireres, Juliet ID. capturing first money
with ease. Miss Jessie found similar
ly light task in the 'speciaP' trot, Win
ming three straights, her best time being
2:14. A remarkably fast mile was made
by Rebellion in the one and one-siX-
teenth selling race HIS time being given
for the mile as .42. In all three running
races the favorites, Maricopa, Jim Boze-
man and Santa Paula, fooled their
friends and some fairly long shots-as
long shots go with the merciful book
makers who rule the roost-were sue
cessful.

days card
