not have any particular merit to 1t
end aside from the fifth race the pro-
gram of events attracted horses of the
most ordinary class.
The public got off winner by scoring
with the favorite. Kinsman, in the
opening race. The layers were hit
hard in the second race when the well

out Jardin de Paris, one of the out

as he laid top prices and took several
large bets.

or more times this meeting, scrambled
over the Slauson course in the opening
event. Kinsman carried the greater
