BOYS TRIANGLE CLUB
TO GIVE EXHIBITION
Annual Gymnastic Events of Popular
Department of Y. M. C. A. to Be
Given Tonight at Asso-
citation Hall

Much interest is being shown in the
first annual gymnastic exhibition of
the boys gymnastic departments to be
given in the main gymnasium of the
Y. M. G. A. this evening at O'CLOCK.
The purpose of the exhibition is merely
to show the results of the work in
the physical section of the boys de-
partment, and the program indicates
that the occasion will be an enjoyable
as we'll as an educational one. The
boys have been working hard for the
different events, and some really nigh
class work will be given. Perhaps the
most spectacular feature of the even
ing's program is the grand calisthenics
drill by the boys of all classes, in
which there are expected to be nearly
$50 boys, under the direction of j. S.
Robson, physical director. Two other
features which will be of particular in
terest will be the potato relay race, in
which the team selected from the boys
class will compete against the triangle
class, and the pyramid building by the
junior boys. The latter especially will
be attractive in that the pyramid team
is composed of the very smallest boys
in the boys classes, and they do eX-
ceptionally good work.
AS the proceeds are to go for the
purchase of permanent camp equip
ment for the summer camps of the
boys triangle departments it is thought
a large audience will be present. The
program follows:
Selection, boys orchestral calisthen-
les (dumbbells), boys classes; elemen-
tary gymnastics (grades), boys classes;
blindfold barring, Winthrop Fish, How
ard Wheeler; advanced calisthenics
(wands) triangle class gymnastics,
(a) rings and horses triangle class:
OBJ vaulting boxes, boys Glass; potato
relay race Quarter mile), boys class
VS.. triangle class; pyramids, Junior
boys.
H. d. Cross is the boys work director

PROGRAM OF AMATEURS WILL
BE HELD MAY 20
SATURDAY AFTERNOON EVENTS
PROMISE WELL
Entries for Races to Close Thursday
Night and Contests VIII Be Nicely
Filled-Innovatlon in
Trophies offered
BY DAN PATCH

The Los Angeles Driving club has
changed the date of it's next big matinee
from May 81 to Saturday, May 20. The
entry blanks are all out, and already
number of answers have been received
though the entry list does not close till
Thursday evening. There are so many
horses in training now for the season s
racing that every class will fill well,
and there will be large fields in each
event. A full brass band Will be III at
tendance. and everything possible done
for the pleasure of the large crowd eX-
pected. An innovation will be made in
the matter of trophies, and instead OF
cups articles of use made of silver, suit
able for the sideboard or table, will be
substituted.
W. G. Durfee, who was kicked a week
ago, while working Cariokin, 2OS1a, and
had his arm broken, is improving last
and will be able to go east with his
string on June 10, as he intended,
though the chances are he will not be
able to drive them in their earlier races
C. A. Garfield has a 2-year-old colt
at Fresno that Schuyler Walton is han
ding for him that all the horsemen
who have seen him consider the fast
est thing of his age on earth. They all
say that a quarter in 81 seconds is as
easy for him as for any free-for-all
campaigner. He is great big fellow
and looks more like big 3-year-old.
Ed r. Smith, the well known harness
horse starter and live stock auctioneer,
says he has sold 600 thoroughbreds since
the legislature passed the anti-betting
law at from $50 to $195. Many were
bought by livery stables and for sad
die horses.
Kid Wilkes worked a mile at Pleas
anton for Henry Holman in 2:12, and
was not called upon at any time in the
mile. Horsemen there believe he can
step the last half of a mile like that
close to a minute.
The Pleasanton entries have closed
and there is an average of nine in each
class, so Secretary Holman is tickled
to death, as that fully guarantees the
success of the meeting.
There are ninety-two colts that are
still in the Garfield stake for 2-year-
olds, to be decided at the July meeting
of the Los Angeles Harness Horse as
ISOLATION at Agricultural park.

II. f. HUNTINGTON
IN LOS ANGELES
PACIFIC ELECTRIC PRESIDENT
PASSES THROUGH CITY
SECRETARY DENIES HARTMAN
CONTROL RUMoR
Railway Magnate Arrives from San
Francisco and Leaves for
His Ranch at Los
RobIes

H. E. Huntington, president of the
Pacific Electric company, returned to
Los Angeles yesterday morning after
an absence of seven months. He ar
rived at 8:45 o'clock from San Fran
cisco, accompanied only by his secre-
tary, G. e. Miles. From the depot he
went to his office in the Huntington
building, Sixth and Main streets, and
remaining there but a few minutes,
proceeded to his ranch at Los Robes.
His secretary remained at the offices
and answered such questions as were
put to him by callers concerning Mr..
Huntington's return to his home and
his trip east He said that Mr.. Hunt
ington was in good health and was
feeling much recuperated after his visit
to New York and to his old home.
s LAS everyone knows, Mr.. Huntington
passes six months of each year in the
east, nearly all of that time in New
York city" said Mr. Miles. "Once a
year he visits the home of his boyhood,
in fact the place of his birth, at One
onta, Otsego county, New York. He
still owns the homestead and keeps it
intact. He looks forward to this visit
with much pleasure"
Hartman Story Denied
"What about the report that Mr..
Hartman has acquired control of the
Pacific Electric ~roperties?" was asked
Secretary Miles smiled and answered;
IF Mr.. Hartman has acquired the
Pacific Electric 1 believe it all hap
pened in the last three minutes" He
said Mr.. Huntington's answer to the
question had been given in New York
and he did not think he would make
any other reply if he were seen on the
subject.
1.-THE supposition, as I understand it.
is that the rumor is based on the fact
that Mr.. Huntington wishes to retire
from the aeti<e management of his
electric roads. There is no question
about his wishes on this point. 1t is
not a secret. He has placed the man.
agement of the road in the very best
hands. This is evidenced by the fact
that while he passes half of his time
in the east. no interurban system of
such magnitude is more successfully
controlled than the Pacific Electric.
Mr. Huntington is interested in his
ranch at Los Robes, where he is build
ing a home, and he has such confidence
in the officials of the Pacific Electric
that he never worries about how things
are going with the company"
Mr. Miles stated that Mr.. Hunting
toms trip from the east was without
incident of note.
