AGRICULTURAL PARK PRO-
GRAM IS CLASSY
Welcome Mao Loses to Connor In
Straight Heats--LaurA @ Fur
nlshes Sensation When She
Wins After Bad Break

It was a classy program that the
Los Angeles Driving club offered yes
terday afternoon, and one of the mos
| ambitious attempts Of local harness
men.
Despite the length Of the card, which
embodied ten events, the large crowd
in the stands braved the nipping all
to the end and witnessed some of the
best sport that has occurred on the
Agricultural park course.
There were many attempts before
several of the fields got away, and a
disposition of the side wheelers to
break resulted in q majority of the
events remaining uncertain until the
victor had crossed the wire.
Several surprises occurred during the
day, chief of which was the defeat OF
Thomas Hughes Welcome Mac, who
lost to the fleet Connor in two straight
heats, in the free-for-all pace.
There were three entries for the
event-Connor, LohenGrin and We'll
come Mac.
After the call to go, in the first
heat, Copnor took the rail and led.
Lohengrin and Mac both broke at the
quarter. Lohengrin caught well. how
ever, and crept up on Connor. In the
stretch the PAGERS We're punched nicely,
but Lohengrin broke before the seven
eighths pole had been reached. The
contest developed into struggle be-
tween Connor and Mac, the former
winning handily.
The second heat resulted in the same
termination Connor led all the way
and flashed a length in front of Mac.
John Mott captured the 2:20 pace
with Bonnie Aisle in two straight
IL fe. IAfr I.,s.N IL 4, i
time of 2:17. Bonnie was in the lead
throughout both heats and had no
trouble in heading Fleety Gazelle to the
wire.
Three heats were required to decide
the 2:40 mixed, and Billy Doyle, after
crossing third in the first dash, cap
tured the second and third heats from
George B. In the first heat Doyle led
we'll TO the half and then broke badly.
Billy X. captured the second event
in two straight, winning easily from
Toughnut, who finished second in both
heats.
Considering the heavy condition of
the track and the wind, r. A Smith
covered the mile in clever fashion,
when he urged Danube across in 2:19,
in an attempt to break the coast.
The team race brought Dr. w. A.
Connely's Palo Verde and Black Jim
against George and Prince, owned by
r. E. Muncy. The white and black of
DR.. Connolly finished we'll ahead of
George and Prince.
Laura G Sensation
Laura G. won the first two heats
of the 2:3O mixed mile event and in
cidentally drew down the applause of
the stands for the sensational finish in
the first dash.
After breaking badly Immediately
after the start and being to all ap-
pearance out of the race, Laure grad
ually edged up on the leaders and
with a burst of speed passed General
Garcia at the wire.
The goose race was a ludicrous af-
fair and convulsed the stands. The
antics of the "geeses' were more than
their drivers could diagnose, and when
D. F. Hogan won by many "necks"
from Flying Billy Doyle, he was ac-
corded an ovation. The judges pro-
nounced r. E. Muncy, with Whistling
White Sally and K. V. Redpath's
quacking Short-legged Pete as "also
rams"
Mylock should have captured the last
race in straight heats, but a bad drive
from the rail when coming into the
stretch during the second dash lost
first place ana required third heat,
W ''"h was won going away.
