event of the year in Southern California
from the fact that most of the principal
athletes of this section take part and a
large field of contestants is always en-
tered. Today's sport promises to be
of an exceptionally high order from the
fact that every event will be we'll con-
tested by the fastest men in the district
The bicycle races have an exception
ally large entry list and will have to
run off in heats, while the running
races have also a good field of starters
The five-mile team race between the
California and District messenger boys
will no doubt be one of the most stub
bornly contested events of the day, as

the boys. The Athletic club has donated
for this event a handsome trophy cup,
to be presented to the winning team.

chip of the Los Angeles police force
