LOS ANGELES, Oct 1.-THE eight
eenth annual meeting and fair OF the
District Agricultural Association open
ed Today, but it was not the ausplc-
iously beginning the Directors pred1ct-
ed and hoped for, as the heavy rams
of last night made the track, Whlch was
hitherto in perfect condition, ut only
for "mudlarks." !"
The. programme in the events in
which the most interest had been cen
tered were the two harness races, the
PIP trot and the PIP pace. The bet
ting on these events was lively last
night, Jasper Ayres being the 1aVorlte
in the trot, Anaconda occupying ike
position in the pace, but when the eX-
tent Of the damage done to the track
by Last nights storm became evident
the Directors decided TO postpone the
harness events. Two selling races were
therefore substituted, one at three
quarters of a mile, the other at seven
eighths, thus making the card entirely
of running events.
The weather this afternoon was clear
and cool, but as the patrons of rae
ing in Southern California seem TO pre-
fer harness events, less than 1900 We're
IN aItGQudDCG, although bllC
events were of an excellent character.
The most interest was centered in the
Citrus Belt handicap of one mile. There
were nine starters, Devils Dream go
ing to the post a favorite at 21a to

carried the top weight, was at home in
the mud, and won the race by a short
length from Grady, who was about

RACING AT LEXINGTON.
LEXINGTON (Ky), Oct. 1.-THE
racing at the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders Association track to-day was
unusually spirited.
The race for 2:23 trotters was a long
drawn out contest, three horses get
ting two heats apiece before the race
was decided. In the fifth heat the
judges thought they saw something of
fraud, and declared all bets off on the
heat. Alves won the sixth by a head,
and before the seventh and last heat
McHenry was put up behind Alves and
Hutehins behind Red Bee, and the
three were sent off to a good start.
This was the most exciting heat of the
whole meeting. Alves led off by a head
from Caracalla. with Red Bee two
lengths back When the stretch was
reached all three closed up, and in a
whipping finish passed under the wire
in what looked to be a dead heat be-
tween the three. The judges decided
that Caracalla had won and placed
Alves second
