THE DERBY.
Out Of eleven entries which on FRIDAY
night had been expected to start in the
Los Angeles derby, all but four were
scratched. Devils Dream was an almost
prohibitive favorite, the first bettins
being IL to 20 and the second to5 Lady
Hurst commanded 2 to 1; Sharon Lass
to l, and Pleasanton Is to l. The Dream
took the lead from the start and was
never headed. Had Lady Hurst Sc
cured second place in the start instead OF
third, the result might have been differ
eut AS it was she crawled up toward
the front past Pleasanton, and gradu-
ally closed the gap behind DEVILS Dream
twenty feet more of a run would have
landed Hurst the winner, but that twen-
ty feet was not to count and DEVILS
Dream passed under the wire with only
his nose ahead of his plucky rival Time,
