LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13-The annual
Los Angeles fair begins tomorrow, ana
sf the steady rain which commenced 10
fall this evening discOntinues during
the night, and the weather forecast pre-
diets that it will, the expectations OF
the Directors that there viii be Wit
messed the largest opening day crowd in
the history of the association, will, in
all probability, be realized, the pro-
gramme offered being one of the best
ever presented in the city.
The rain has changed the whole COM
plexion of the racing to go at the open
ing. Horses which We're considered to
be entirely out of this race or that one,
owing to speedy company, will to-mor-
row be looked upon as having more
than a chance to win, there being COM
paratively few mud larks among the
thoroughbred animals. The rain to-
night, while it Will not make the track
at Agricultural Park altogether mud
dy. unless followed by constant show
ers tomorrow, will certainly soften it
up and make it heavier going for some
of the horses than was calculated on
JASPER Ayres, who was looked upon
as the winner of the PIP trot, is averse
to soft going, and the race now belongs
to anybody. The same may be said of
the I'll pace, which was almost con-
ceded to Anaconda Grady was the
favorite in the Citrus Belt Handicap
before the rain, but Ostler Joe, Devils
Dream and Lady Hurst are now looked
upon with favor by the talent.
