The third heat was Neernut's after the

better than third, while Fana6ma was

The free e-for-all trot was the second

their chances of winning were con"

in the timers stand. in getting the aver

then the board was hung out, and 2:O7

Searchlight back to the stand He was
at once presented with two handsome
bouquets, one of carnations from this
association, and the other, large de-
sign, from number of his intima te
friends. The carnations he distributed
among his lady friends in the grand
stand, and such was the scramble fol-
them that he only etained, the navy blue
ribbon with which the bouquet had been
tied.
There must have been some slight mis-
take as to the time made in the timer &
stand, for the time announced did no,
agree with that caught by each of the
judges, the starter and half a dozen
horsemen near the press box. The
watches of all the judges and the others
showed exactly 2:061a, and that figure is
probably nearer the correct time than
the official time announced Mr. Keat-
ing was the recipient of numerous con-
gratulations on the wonderful perform
ance of his horse.
THE 2:20 TROT
The first race was the 2:2O trot, in
which there were five entries OF them
Neernut was the favorite throughout the
race, and his work showed that the o6ids
of from to 1 in the opening betting of
the first heat to to s in the last heat
were justified. In the first heat Neernut
led for three-quarters of the distance,
| Finishing first two lengths ahead af Pa

fourth and Iran Alto distanced, in 2:15A
The second heat was almost repeti-
ton of the first, except that Our Jack
and Fanadma exchanged positions, the

| fourth. Neernut was given a battle in
| this heat by Palermo, and at the wire
was only half head in advance The
time was 2:16H.

AUDIBILITY OF THUNDER
Varying Conditions Limit the Distance
at Which It Nav Be Heard

In connection with the proposal to es-
tablish a number of government stations
for reporting the phenomena of thunder
storms, it is stated that while lightning
may be seen ard its illumination OF
clouds and mist may be'recognized when
1t is even 200 miles distant, thunder is
rarely audible ten miles. The thunder
from very distant storms, therefore.
| seldom reaches the ear. Hence, IL every
| thunderstorm has to be recorded a large
number of stations will be needed; prob
ably one for every twenty-five square
miles would not be too many A few
stations would suffice, a. least for the
night time, for the reporting of the
direction. and movement of every case
of distant lightning
The reason for the great uncertainty
in the audibility of thunder is not hard
to understand. 1t depends not merely
on the initial intensityof the crash, but
quite as much on the surroundings Of
the observer, even as in the quiet coun
try one will observe feeble sounds that
escape the ear in noisy city. Perhaps
the most curious and important condi-
ton of audibility is that the thunder
wave of sound shall not be refracted or
reflected by the layers OF warm or cold
air between the observer and the light
ming or by the layers of wind, swift above
and slow below, so as to entirely pass
over or around the observer.
Sound in it's waveiike progress oblique-
ly through layers of air of different den
stiles is subject to refraction, and this
refraction may occur at any time and
place, Thus observers at the topmast
of ship frequently hear fog whistles
that are inaudible at sea level; those
on hill tops hear thunder that cannot
be heard in the valley; those in front
of an obstacle hear sounds inaudible to
those behind it.
The rolling of thunder, like that of a
distant cannonade, may be- largely due
to special reflections and refractions OF
sound. Again, the greater velocity of
the air at considerable attitudes above

nearly 80 large as on the previous Satur-
day, although the program was perhaps
the best of any day of the meeting. a
week ago there were $1,000 people at the
track, while yesterday there were not
more than one-half that number. Good
as had been the sport of the previous
Saturday, that of yesterday was much
better. There were eight races on the
card and so promptly did Starter Fer
guson get out the horses for the several
events and SO quickly did he send them
off after he got them out, that the en-
tire program was concluded'at O'CLOCK
Mr.. Ferguson has a reputation as
starter which is, not confined to state
limits, and his work yesterday was done
In manner that justified his reputation
The most important event of the day
and perhaps of the meeting, was the
exhibition pace of mile and one-eighth
by Searchlight, in which the mile was
covered in two and a quarter seconds
faster than the worlds record for three
year-olds. Had the exhibition been a
record trial. it would have smashed all
existing records for horses of the aga
mentioned, and would have given the
Los Angeles track an enviable reputa-
tion. To make a new record was just
what was avoided, and for that reason
the eighth of mile was added, although
for that distance the pace consisted only
of a slow pace, which was exactly the
same as if the remarkable horse was
only scoring for the start in race
Those who saw the trial wondered that it
was not a record performance, but 1t
was explained that T. z. Keating, the
owner of the great PAGER. could better
afford to establish a new record on some
Of the more famous tracks of the coun-
try than here, as some of the jockey
clubs offered large prizes for record
breaking performances. Another rea-
son why the eighth was added to the mile
was that it was not desired to place the
horse in another class this season, and
thereby give him a mark which woul,.
exclude him from participating in some
OF the races in which he will later be
Entered. Searchlight proved himself
the greatest three-year-old PAGER in the
country, and whatever his future per-
formances may be it will always be re-
membered that he paced his first really

After nine days of good racing the
eighteenth annual meeting Of the Sixth
District Agricultural association closed
yesterday. That the meeting was more
of success than had been expected by
the officers of the association has been
known for several days, ard it was given
lut last night that, financially, it was the
most successful ever held in this part OF
the state. 1t is difficult matter to
keep up the interest in racing in city of
this sizs for nine days and have paying
attendance every day, but that is what
has been done. Not only has the associ-
alton made money on the gate receipts,
but their other sources of revenue have
been much more numerous this year
than formerly and as a result of the
meeting the treasury of the organization
is now we'll lined with cash. OF course it
is impossible to make any estimate of the
amount which the association has made,
but it will run we'll into the thousands.
This makes certain the completion of the
Improvements that have so long been
desired at the park, and before the next
racing there there will be new track or
q newly surfaced one, new buildings, ad
ditions to the grand stand, new stables
and paddock-in short, the park will be
placed upon a metropolitan basis and
will compare favorably with any Of the
racecourses in the state. During the
meeting the association has distributed
more than $4,000 in purses, there being
not the slightest delay in paying the
money to the persons winning it. and
last night the last cent of the money Of
fered before the meeting had been paid.
The horses and horsemen began leav-
ing the track last night, and this morn
ing the park will present different ap-
pearance to what it has for the past
several weeks. Many of the runners and
quite a number of the harness horses are
entered in the races to be held in the
north this winter, and as the first of
these meetings begins November it
was desired to get them on the tracks
at which they start next as soon as pos
sible. The northbound train last night
carried two carloads of horses for San
Francisco and as many more will go to-
day. Quite number of the harness
horses will remain here and will be taken
to Santa Ana later as they are entered irs
the races which are to be made the lead
Ing feature of the Orange county fair.
The principal event in this fair will BE-
the free-for-all pace, in which Search
light, Silkwood and some other flyers
are entered. Klamath and Jasper Ayers
are also entered in the trotting free-for-
all and in several other events.
LAST DAYS RACING

before the eighth pole was reached, and
without urging Searchlight gave burst
of speed in an effort to overtake him.
The quarter pole was passed in S1s4 sec
onds, with the two horses nose and NOSE
together. Ryan drove the runner well,
keeping as near the PAGER as possible
but still not so close as to cause any
danger Of the latter's breaking. The
half mile was covered in 1:02A, itself a
record performance. Round the turn
came the horses, and at the three quart
