SIXTH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. 359 



The second race was a trot, free for all; but two entries, St. James 

 and Major, having been made. INhijor having proved so treacherous 

 the day before, caused an absense of interest. It was a walk-over for 

 St. James. 



SUMMARY. 



Trottini;. Froo for all. Mile heats, throe best in five. Purse, $.350. 



E. J. Baldwin entei's b. g. St. James, by Chanipiun 1 1 1 



N. A. Covarrubias outers b. g. Major 2 2 2 



Time—2-AO; 2:35; 2:35. 



L. J. Rose trotted Del Sur to beat 2:28. Being an animal in which 

 the community took much pride, the event gave much satisfaction. 

 He accomplished the mile in 2:271. 



The next was the third and last race of the two-year olds. It was 

 a contributed stake from the owners of Hockhocking, Hardwood, 

 Grinstead, and Kutherford, and open to foals of 1881 of the foregoing 

 horses. Ten entries had been made. Six colts were announced to 

 start. Bachelor, again a favorite, brought fifty dollars; Harry Rose 

 (the winner of one half and three quarter dash), brought thirty-five 

 dollars; the Machado stable (St. David and Beaconsfield), brought 

 thirty dollars, and the field (including the plucky Baldwin filly, out 

 of sister to Clara D, and Slaughter's Dublin Bay, a Hardwood colt). 

 To say betting was lively does not express it. The pool clerks had 

 their hands full. After much trouble the colts got oft" in a bunch, 

 and it was the event of the course; nothing like it was ever witnessed 

 in Los Angeles. The plucky chestnut filly and the big St. David, 

 under whip and spur, passed the turns, down to the back-stretch and 

 to the wire, daylight finding no room between them; dead heat from 

 the crowd, and dead heat from the Judges. Time— 1:461. The ties 

 decided to repeat. In the meantime pool selling was lively; first 

 one favorite, then another, the Hockhocking colt winning the race, 

 the filly one half length behind.

Our California element went home both rich and happ3^ 

 The last event was a two-mile novelty race. Six entries had been 

 made — but three were announced to start — Lucky B, Idler, and Jen- 

 nie G. From the time of the announcement only a broken leg could 

 prevent the Baldwin horse from being a winner. The owners of 

 Idler and the plucky mare never lost confidence, but from necessity 

 the second place only would attract the betting people. Idler readily 

 bringing thirty-five dollars to twenty dollars for the mare. A good 

 start was made; the mare stuck close to Lucky, and was putting in 

 fast time for the points, leading everything to the one half mile, but 

 Lucky B was too long-winded, and forced her to second ])lace in the 

 stretch on the first mile, Idler being a fair running companion during 

 the race, without prospect of reaching the wire in advance. This
