Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-09


respect propitious, the weather perfect
and the crowd a splendid one and COM
posed of the wealth and fashion Of
many cities, gathered here for one long
holiday.
Never has Tournament park present
ed a finer or more inspiring appear
ance than yesterday.
Along the eastern border of the
grounds stretched the many newly
constructed stalls, before them the
white tents occupied by the grooms in
charge Of the horses within, in the
center of the field two great tents sur
mounted with the waving pennants of
the association, then the show ring in
the middle of which was the judges
stand draped with the colored bunting
of the three prize ribbons and on the
west of 1t all the great tiers of open
seats by courtesy known as the grand
stand.
From posts at the top flew scores
of national flags and the boxes were
elaborate and gay with bunting. The
crowd here gathered was somewhat
larger that the one which greeted the
first show a year ago, as the entries
themselves were larger-both in prob
ably the same percentage, fully 25
per cent.
Fine Management
In marked contrast to similar af-
fairs was the management of this days
exhibition. Although the first event
did not appear until some little time
after 1t was scheduled, the crowd did
not care and, as is usually the case
on first days, spent the time in getting
acquainted with the location of their
seats and with the people nearest
them. The Crown City band occupied
a central place in the grandstand and
played a regular program of music
the different numbers being printed in
the Official program. Chief of Police
Pinkham had ten of his finest on the
grounds and this part of the manage
ment went like clockwork.
But the general management of the
show ought to come In for the greatest
commentator. The different classes
were called promptly, the most perfect
order was maintained inside the ring
the announcements were made quick
ly and plainly and the general air of
eXactness and neatness was very pleas
ant to behold.
The crowd did not always agree with
the honorable judges In their decisions.
for instance when the Burrage tandem
and the Burrage runabout were given
second place in their respective classes,
when a great many in the crowd
thought they should have first place;
but in general the decisions of the
Judges were greeted with handclapping
all over the grandstand.
