The second decree of public interest
was the ruling made by the judges In
the case of Boots" Durnell, who was
charged with having raced horses in
training shoes in violation of rule NO
191 of the Pacific Jockey club, which
is as follows:
"A horse shall not be qualified to
start in a race shod with ordinary or
training shoes. If a person starts a
horse so shod he and the horse may
be ruled off. Bar plates may be used
by consent of the judges"
The specific allegation against Dur
nell was that he raced Alderman Bait
in training shoes in all races up to
and including December 20 last, on
which date Alderman Bait was beat
en- twenty-three lengths by Dixelle at
mile in 1:42, and that on the fol-
lowing day Alderman Bait was raced
in racing plates and beat DiXelle four
lengths at mile in 1:4119.
The judges handed down the follow

Judges Hamilton, Cole and Pomeroy:

SPEED CARNIVAL
STARTS TODAY
FAST CARS READY FOR AUTO
RACES
Big Entry List Demonstrates Remark
able Interest Which Attends
Progress of Motor
Cars

Promptly at 1870 p. m. today the first
event in the three day automobile con-
tests at Agricultural park will be
started and before the afternoon has
| passed six stirring motor exhibitions
will have provided sufficient sport to
satisfy the most exasting.
| Such was the bundle of entries which
| swamped the management at the last
moment that it was impossible to COM
| plete schedule for the three days and
not until this afternoon will the order
| of races for the triple arrangement be
completed.
1--WE are up against it," remarked H.
D. Ryus yesterday, "for everyone ap
pears bent upon entering car. look
for the best exhibitions that have ever
taken place on the coast"
The mile course has been conditioned
to nicely and some fast driving may
be expected when the signal to get
away is given. The element of danger
is of course the great attraction which
the sport holds for the general public,
as thousand unexpected happenings
may arise to engender excitement.
Unlike a horse race it is more alone
the skill of the driver than the mount
which has to do with the successful
outcome of an automobile contest and
for this reason there is every oppor-
IuIlCy lOr spice ana variety during the
progress of race.
So universal has become the use of
the automobile that owners are as
anxious to have their own particular
car forge to the front as is the proud
possessor of a thoroughbred horse. For
this reason every precaution has been
taken by those who intended to enter
the races for the best showing of their
car.
Six races will be run today and
every event is of a high class order
The third race is the open one and no
restrictions have been placed with the
exception ofs "Whstling Billy" the
Garbutt car and any special machine.
When Barney Oldfield raced at Agri-
cultural several years ago he eX-
pressed his opinion that the course was
one of the finest in the country for
automobile racing and predicted that
the track record would be broken be-
local track.
Several parties of northern enthusi-
astS arrived in Los Angeles last night
and will occupy the boxes that have
been reserved for them.
The Australian pursuit race, which
occurs as the fourth event, is generally
one of the most attractive from a spec
tators view point as the efforts of the
entered cars to gain upon each other
from their several starting places re-
suits III a spectacular display of the
motive power and driving skill

There is every reason to believe
that those who haye looked Tor canal

are to be disappointed. The opinion
grows that the interminable making
of testimony is only part of a con-
sistent policy of delay aud obstruct-

and it is likely to justify its name in

SLEEPING CARS.

the Acme OF Comfort.
Current advertisements describingt the
luxurious appointments offered the
modern traveller on sea and land give
point to the contrast afforded by the
facilities of the middle of the last cen
tury, which were then regarded as the
height to which the passengers had a
right to aspire. The issue of the Penn
Bylvania Railroad and Mining Register
Of June %, 1856, said:
'The Buffalo Car company lately
shipped lot of cars for the Illinois
Central railroad which are far ahead
of anything in their line yet seen in
the west. One of them contained six
staterooms, each room having two
seats with cushioned backs, long
enough for person to lie upon. The
backs of the seats are hung with
hinges at the upper edge, so that they
may be turned up at pleasure, thus
forming two single berths, one over the
other, where persons may sleep with
all the comfort imaginable. In one end
of the car is small wash room, with
marble washbowl, looking glass, etc.
On the opposite side of the car from
the staterooms is row of seats with
revolving backs, similar to BARRIERS
chairs, so arranged that the occupant
may sit straight or recline in an easy
attitude at pleasure. The other five
I cars have each two or three similar
staterooms."
The birth of the Pullman car came q
little later. In the spring of 1855
