THE FIESTA HIPPODROME
The Society Races Promise to Furnish
Plenty of Fun
A Physician Issues Challenoe-The President
Of the Board Of Trade Was
Scratched

The society races for the benefit of the
Fiesta fund, which will take place on
Saturday, March 9Th, promie to be one
of the most interesting society as well,
as sporting events that Los Angeles has
seen for many years. The program
will include every variety of sports,
from four-in-hand tallyho to foot races
letter was received yesterday in
which Mr.. T. T. Williams, president of
the Pacific Jockey club, kindly donates
the use of Agricultural park, the race
track and stables for the benefit of the
event. Everybody who has a horse, be
it PAGER or runner, is looking around
among his friends with the view of get
ting scrap around the race track with
one of them so that he may show what
he can do
The latest enthusiastic supporter of
the event, that those in charge have
heard from, is DR.. w. LeMoyne Wills,
who would like to show some of his
brother physicians that he can drive a
horse as well as set broken bone, and
he has challenged any member of his
profession to make run around the
track with any number of horses that
the challenged NAH may desire. For
the purpose or determining VINO could
reach a patient quickest in a case of
emergency, the doctor has gone even
further and will run a foot race with
any physician in the city. He. is open
to any proposition on the part of any
other physician who is willing to accept
the challenge and test his horses or
limbs against his.
Many people will greatly miss the race
which was to have come off between
Mr.. A. Jacoby, president of the board
of trade, and Mr.. Frank of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association.
as Mr.. Jacoby was quite sure that he
would win but as he goes to Washing
ton to see President Mckinley safely
seated he will be unable to show himself
on the track
A novel race will be that of the steam
road rollers, and much interest is being
taken among the contractors in regard
to it. Some very good and effective
bids are being made as to which is go
ing to win.
Some of the brewers of the city are
also interested and some of their heavy
delivery wagons will be entered, but
they promised that no, beer will be
spilled.
The races have become the talk of the
club as well as the mercantile centers
and they will be one of the leading events
that have ever been presented to Los
Angeles.

HASTINGS IS ARRANGED
Preliminary Examination Set for Satur.
day Morning
Ball Fixed at $4,000 for the "Electrician'
and $500 for the Nurse,
Mrs. Weaver

G. s. Hastings, the medical cleo
trician," and his assistant, Mrs. c. N.
Weaver, were araigned in the police
court before Justice Rossiter yesterday
afternoon. The defendants were repre-
scented by Henry II. Gage and ]. T. Jones;
Deputy District Attorney James for the
people. Hastings showed the effects Of
his nights confinement and looked pale
and distraught. Mrs. Weaver was i'm
passive, and during the short time they
were In the court room neither had any
thing to say.
Saturday morning at 1920 was set for
preliminary examination, after which
the question of bail arose. Mr.. James ex-
pressed it as his opinion that Hastings
bail should not be less than $4,000, while
for Mrs. Weaver he would be satisfied
with $4,000. Mr.. Gage opposed this as
being an excessive and unnecessary
amount, and after some argument JUS
tice Rossiter announced that he would
fix it at $4,000 for Hastings and $500
for the woman. Neither was able to
furnish bonds during the afternoon and
accordingly remained in their cells.
The detectives were busy yesterday
working on the case, but stated that
nothing new had developed. There was
a report that another of Hastings vic
Tins had been found in Santa Barbara,
where a young woman is lying seriously
i'll as a result of his treatment" About
month ago she was in this city, but
was sent home about the time of Lillian
Hattery's death. The officers have evil
dence of the most damaging nature, and
both the police and the district attor-
ney's office are positive that Hastings

business. The animals became fright
ened at piece of paper blowing along
the street, tore loose and dashed off up
Fourth street toward Spring.
They crossed the intersection at full
speed, scattering pedestrians right and
left, but fortunately injuring no one.
Plunging straight ahead they ran blind
ly into telegraph pole at the southwest
corner, which brought them up sud-
denly. One of the animals had shoulder
broken by the collision and was shot
by police officer. The wagon was some
what damaged, but the second horse es-
capped without injury.
