Track Notes
At Agricultural park every morning
there is quite a gathering of the busi-
ness and professional men of Los An
geles, who find sport and recreation
In the racing of harness horses. Sheriff
White never misses a day and with a
trusty ticker watches the footers move
around the circuit inwardly calculating
the chances of his own "breadwinners"
next month. L. w. Christopher whose
crack mare zombretta is considered
a likely contender in the 2:24 and 2:i5
trots, watches the workouts of his
horse with keen interest. Zombretta
carried all before her in the last two
matinees of the Driving club and these
victories helped to win Christopher
over to the sport completely.
II. A. Fairchild, the owner of Bon
ME Ailse, Is another visitor at the
track during the morning workouts.

The two-year-old trot was the only
class that. the local association was not
able to fill. The conditions call for
six to enter and four to start. But
three entries were received for the
baby race and as consequence it will
be necessary to scratch it.

Princess Louise, the entry of Mrs.
l.. j. Hastings in the three-year- old
trot, is a fine looking filly with pretty
action and a promising turn of speed
The Princess will have something to
do to dispose of the remainder of the
field, which includes such classy
youngsters as Roy McGregor, April
Rose and Bonny June.
Una X, entered in the 1 IA trot will
not lack backing in that event on the
last day of the meeting, July 8. Una
has been showing nice form in her
workouts. The mare was logged
around yesterday in 20. She made a
mark of 1SA at Pleasanton last year.
! Guirnaldo, a 2;27 possibility, went n
mile with the diagonal gait in IA 1-2
yesterday.
Tidal Wave, Mosher's entry in the
2:11 pace, worked nicely yesterday
morning. He wasn't set down for a
mile but was taken around easily a
couple of times. and cut down the
/ i,, T..
drives.
Glenn, George Founders chestnu
gelding, was sent around easily with
out an effort to cause the moth eaten
that's going some" to fly around
among the rail birds. Glenn is entered
in both the 2:27 and the 2:24, the former
event to be run off the opening day of
the meet.
Zombretta was not forced yesterday.
Christopher's mare ended up a slow
mile, however, by coming the last
quarter in .32.
Any race that may be started and
unfinished on the last day of the meet
will be declared ended and the money
divided according to the ranking of the
horses in the summary.
