took the bit in his teeth and ran away
The injuries sustained by the colt are If
such a nature that for a while 1t was
thought he would have to be destroyed.
Further examination revealed that the
barb wire fence into which he had run
had cut the son of Longstreet up quite a
bit but that he could be patched In time
TO get to the races some time this wintef.
Livius is a fair performer and is We'll

Directors of the Los Angeles Racing
association held meeting yesterday art
ernoon and announced the officials for the
coming meet at Santa Anita park. AS
was predicted in The Herald, Ed Cole
was again given the position of associate

Hamilton and clerk of the scales, and
John Boden is announced as handlcapper
and racing secretary.
It is announced that the same starters
who oficiated here last season will again

ing them away from the ribbon at OAK

in the north, and he will alternate at
Santa Anita with Jake Hoffman, who will
usher in the season here.

No change was made in the personnel
of the board of directors of the Los An
geles Racing association. H. A. Unruh Is
still in the presidents chair but as soon
as. they find time the directors will get
together and appoint Lucky Baldwin 10
the head of things. This position has
heen slated for Baldwin since the assocla-
tion was founded, and he will assume

Aside from the excitement attendant on
the incident which occurred to Livius,
yesterday was a busy one around Ascot
park Several carloads of thoroughbreds
arrived and were given stalls, and In addi-
ton some good workouts by stake candi-
dates were recorded. The horsemen are
anxiously awaiting the time when they
can move to the Arcadia plant, and Will
not rest until their charges have had a
spin over the new track.
Part of Barney Schreiber's string. in
charge of Pat Bowers arrived and was
unloaded at Ascot The Schneider bunch
will be about the first to move to Bald
wins ranch. as the special barns when
the Missouri horseman ordered are nearly
ready.
Among the Schreiber thoroughbreds Is
one which Barney particularly admirea
and which he thinks will turn out to be
champion 1t is yearling half brother
to Tom McGrath, and already shows =
nice turn of speed and ability to stic<
T. NJ Fry, Latona and Cervona were
among others which Powers took from the
cars. and they are all looking as well as
could be expected.
Comparisons between Emeryville and
Arcadia reveal that the local plant has
all the best of it on paper, so far as
numbers are concerned, at least. For 'he
twenty-one stake events at the northern
track 1892 entries were received. while
the fourteen big features at Santa Anita
drew out list of 1898. More are eX-
pected by every mail for at least two
days longer. and the number may be
swelled considerably when they are all
recorded.
