I took the canoe l had chosen for
my own use from the boat-house and
padded up the lake. The air was

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
LOS ANGELES. Feb 5.-The fast
time made and the good things" that
came through with rush were the
features at the Ascot races today. The
weather was perfect, and large crowd
was present.
In the fourth race. Reservation, at
odds of 8 to 1, beat the hot favorite,
Won Tromp, three lengths. Won Tromp
was the victim of a poorly judged ride.
Taylor George, at to /, won the
first race at six furlongs IN a gallop.
In the last event Gold Sifterwas pounds
the best and easily beat the favorite
Don Domo. Confessor and First Peep
were the only favorites to win.
A dark hourse unknown to the talent
came near upsetting things in the seq
ond race. He bore the ominous nane
of Johnstown. and was 40 to l in the
betting. Jockey Mcdaniel managed to
put Confessor over the plate, in ad-
vance of the stranger. which was an
easy second.
The Superior Court today granted an
injunction against the Mayor and Clerk
of this city, who are enjoined from
permitting to be carried into effect the
ordinance permitting the sale of liquor
at the Ascot Park track. The court as
serts that the sale of liquor on the
premises was in no way essential to
the peace or safety of the city. The
decision which was based upon an ap-
plication made by the Rev. S. I. Mont
gomery is regarded as final.

Gossip Of the Track

The enactment of anti-turf legisla-
ton in Tennessee and threatened legis-
lation Of a similar nature in Arkansas
probably will affect the movements of
local horsemen, who had been planning
10 20 East IN the near future TO par
ticipate in the meetings scheduled for
Hot Springs and Memphis s. c. Hill
dreth is among those whose plans will
be upset by the elimination of the
Memphis meeting. AS announced some
weeks ago. it was his intention TO take
the topnotchers Of his string to Mem
phis for the spring meeting. With
racing in the Middle West confined to
short meetings in Kentucky it is likely
that the Seattle summer meeting will
prove even more attractive to horse
men who have hitherto gone East than
seemed probable in the early days Of
the Emeryville season. At that time
leading owners who had heretofore
figured prominently on the turf in the
Middle West announced their intention
of remaining on the coast this year,
with the idea Of participating in the
Seattle meeting. as a result OF its signal
success last season, in preference to
shipping across the Rockies
