HARNESS ASSOCIATION
PREPARES FOR MEET

POSITION
Incorporation Is Effected With Ten
Thousand Dollars as the Capt.
tai stock-officer and Directors
Elected

An enthusiastic meeting was held
Friday afternoon at the office of
C. A. Canfield, Citizens bank build
ing, by members of the Los Angeles
Harness Horse association.
The purpose of the meeting was,
first, to take action in regard to the
resignation of Secretary A. w. Bruner
who intends leaving shortly for the
east, and also to decide what was to
be done in the future in regard to the
possibility of continuing the harness
horse meeting. After some discussion
1t was unanimously decided that the
Los Angeles Harness Horse association
be Incorporated with capital stock OF
$4,000 and that the par value of the
shares be $25 each, and that the fol-
lowing be elected as officers and direc-
tors:
C. A. Garfield, president: E. j. Delo-
rey, vice president; L. J. christopher.
treasurer; Robert A. Smith, secretary;
Dr. VIM. Dodge, j. H. Bohon, G.. A.
Founder, Chas.. Saddler, Byron Erken-
brecher, directors.
The resignation of Mr.. Bruner was
accepted and some detail matters
closed up from the fall meeting. 1t
was decided TO give a meeting in this
of July, and II is also the intention to
cooperate with San Bernardino and
Santa Ana. as 1t had been stated that,
In case Los Angeles gave a meeting,
these two enterprising cities would also
fall in line.
While the last two meetings were
held at a loss, still no one should be
discouraged and everyone present be-
lleVed that at least expenses could be
paid at our July meeting, as the ex-
perience of previous meetings was very
valuable, particularly in the line Of
cutting down expenses. The July meet
ing viii probably occupy four days and
the purses will aggregate i'm the neigh
borhood OF $6OO0 Another conference
Is expected to be held next week to
definitely decide upon date for the
next meeting.

DANE AND NOLAN
WILL START EAST
TO LEAVE LOS ANGELES THIS
AFTERNOON
Nelson Returns From Catalina Island
Fishing Trip With Wonder
full Tales of His
ProWess

Battling Nelson and Billy Nolan will
leave this afternoon for San Francisco,
from where they intend starting within
few days for Chicago, to enter upon
a theatrical tour arranged with Nelson
as the star attraction.
Nolan said last night that while the
affair had been a bitter disappoint-
ment to him he is still willing that
Nelson should meet Herrera, in the
event of a match being made possible.
If, however, Herrera ever again en-
ters upon course of training for the
Hege wisch boy 1t will be after an
understanding that Nelson will be on
the long end of the financial PROPOSE
tion.
The clever manager of the Dane has
readily grasped the fact that it is in
his power to make Herrera a dead one
so far as his future ring career Is con-
cerned and if the Mexican secures a
match he will be lucky to possess a
look in at the purse end.
Bat Nelson returned from a fishing
trip to Catalina island yesterday and
wonderful were the tales he had to
recite. Bat claims that he caught a
sheepShead weighing 100 pounds with
teeth as big as dog.
"Well, 1 guess it's up to me to get
back on the STAGE" said Bat. "I did
my best to please everybody out here,
and it's too bad this business ever came
up. Anyway we must swallow 1t and
hope for the BEST
Despite the fact that they leave Los
Angeles without the local public haV-
ing witnessed the Dane in action, both
Nolan and Nelson have made thou
sands of friends during their stay in
the south.

MISCHIEF TO RACE
MONSOON TODAY
JOE PUGH BELIEVES HE WILL
CARRY OFF H0N0RS
Once Defeated Craft Put In Fine
shape-No Launch Chartered
to Follow Competing
Yachts

Today the Monsoon will have a
chance to show that the Mischief II is
not so much faster than the eastern
designed boat as the last race seemed
to show Joe Pugh, her owner, is con-
fdent that he can reverse the decision
and take first honors in the race, which
is the first one of the season in which
points will count for the club cham
pionship Of this year.
The tides have not been high enough
for either boat to be pulled out on the
ways for cleaning and painting. In or
der to get a yacht of deep draught
onto the ways at the Fellows yard
high tide must nearly reach to the g.
foot mark. What can be done without
pulling the boats out of the water
is being attended to by the crews of
both racers. With long broom and
much energy certain amount of the
slime and growth that collects on
yachts keel may be rubbed off while
she is still in the water Yesterday
the crew Of the Mischief spent the
afternoon in bathing suits, vigorously
polishing it's subaqueous timbers of
their lively racing machine. A smooth
surface makes a great difference in
light winds and two days hard work
applying graphite and polishing with
stove brushes has often won a closely
contested race.
viii Sail New Craft
Captain wedgwood, the veteran Co
rinthian, will be in the race with his
latest creation, the Skidoo. Her sails
were not in such shape that she could
enter the last race but they have been
properly bent and stretched now and
the doughty captain is confident that,
with his liberal time allowance, he
can beat both the Monsoon and the
Mischief II. Even should he not be
able to do this, he will make an in
teresting race with the old Mischief,
which is nearer the size of the Skidoo
than either of the other boats.
The race will begin off the end of the
breakwater about a half mile to the
southwark The start will be before
the wind and it should be picturesque
sight when they come flying over the
line with light sails set and spinnakers
and mainsails spread wide to the fol-
lowing breeze.
1t has been decided not to charter a
launch to follow the race as not
enough applications for accommo-
dation on board have been received,
so that those who wish to follow the
yachts will have either to charter a
launch themselves or take their
chance of finding some enterprising
launch owner who is willing to take
out the general public to see the race at
so or rs cents each. On the day of
a race there are generally plenty Of
these and anybody who wants to fol-
low the yachts will have no difficulty
in finding launches which are going
out, either at the city landing in San
Pedro or at the club landing on Ter
minal island.

WILL ERECT BIG
SHELTER AT ELY
Guggenheim Co. Decide to Build
Plant and Will Handle 100000
tons Of Ore Annually.

Boston, April 5.-A circular
was issued to-day by Daniel Gug-
enheim, of the Guggenheim
Exploration Company, to stock
holders, stating that 203,3lO
shares of its holdings of Nevada
Consolidated will be sold al S14
per share, giving stockholders Of
the exploration company the first
privilege of subscribing TO this
stock in proportion TO the hold
ings of exploration stock. The
privilege must be exercised on
or before April 18th, at 8 o clock,
and all stock not so subscribed
for, will be sold to the public.
The reason for disposing of
this block is, that Guggenheim
thinks his company should not
tie up too large a proportion of
it's assets in one venture.
The company, on advice of its
engineers, has decided to build a
4,OOO-ton smelter, and plans are
now being drawn for a plant
which will handle 100000 tons
of ore annually. This will cost
about So, 100000, and the propo-
sition has already been financed.
