SPORTS OF THE DAY
The past week lias been largely taken
up by the district fair races. They wore
highly successful from tlie spotting stand
point, and introduced to tho Los Angeles
public new horses that have proved them
selves wonders. The unlooked-for victory
of Soymour Wilkes was the great sur
prise of the week, though no ono can say
what the result might hare been l t Wal
do J. had started. The lameness of the
latter is greatly to bo regretted.
Tbe boxers' evening at the Angel City
Athletic club was no; up to the excellent
standard usually maintained by this
club, nnd proved a disappointment to
the many people attending. Tho coming
evening nt tlie Los Angeles Athletic
t'lub promises to be tho best ever held
under the auspices of this enterprising
ovfanizfttion. The coming week will be
a husy one in tbo sporting world, tho
breeders' meeting, the various club
events and tho ooming cycle races keeping
everybody on the gui Vive.
SADDLE AND BRIDLE
What promises to be the greatest horse
meeting over held in Los Angeles begins
today at Agricultural park. The fair is
conducted by the Pacific Coast Breeders'
association, an organization whose mem
bership roll contains the names of promi
nent horse breeders from Washington to
Central America. The program of races is
Unusually line, and the purses, with one
exception, aro all $100 or more in size.
There aro in all nineteen races on the
card for the week, besides two match
games of polo, coming Wednesday and
Saturday. The program of today is as
follows:
First race, trotting, 2:20 class, nomina
tion, purse $1000. "The entries number
thirteen horses, and among them aro
Wlnship A: Keating'! Ethel Downs,
Vendomi -stables, John Bury,
2:1.V 4 ; !»• O* Yuri llokelon's Thompson,
2:13, and Th nius Simth's Columbus 5,
2:15',,. Tliis should be a hard, fast r,ice.
Second race, pacing. 2:1-1 class, purse
$1000. This race has nine entries, among
them being Winship & Keatlng's I'ath
inont, 11:010., ; llobert JJrown's Belle, 2:12,
and S. C. Tryon's Hanlord .Medium, who
ran a close third to Chehalis when, tho
latter made his record of 2:o7'j. This
iiebl should make a fast race, and it is
hard to pick a winner.
Third nice--Stanford stakes, three-year
olds, purse $1U;)U. Among the entries al*
tbo names of Nordioa, 2:19 Crestid.i.
2:22', and ivan Alto, a son of tbo dead
king i'alo Alto, 2:08;;. This event is to
be one of the notable trotting events of
tlie coast, and all tho horses named can
makS much faster timo than their records
show.
Fourth race--Pacing, 2:25 class, all
ages, purse $1000. There are seventeen
entries in this event, and among them
are Chehalis, 2:073-;,. one of the fast-sc
horses that evor stepped. Algregor, who
won in good lime last Friday, and can
travel tn any company. Dlotatus, an an
nuo! bred in the purple, and Dan. X., a
game performer. Should Chehalis be
beaten, records will hit the ground with
a pretty hard thump.
In all, the purses today amount, to
$1100, a sum that has never been put up
for any one day's racing in this section
Iv fore. Today, Mr. O. P. McNair will do
the starting. Mr. McNair is jone of tho
iinest ot the few really good professional
starters in this country. A held never
Keeps him at tno post, for he seldom
gives a jockey more than three times to
start. After that tho jockey's salary
suffers. Spectators need not be afraid of
long toilsome waits, for there won't be

in connection witii the picture of Zoni
bro that is published, a scotch of his ca
reer would nut be out of place. Zombru
is a three-year old, by McKinney, 2:111.,,
out of Whisper, by Almont Lightning,
who was a son of Almont and dammed
by the great thoroughbred Lightning.
This is ZombroV lirst year on the track.
Mr. Charles Durfee commenced Ins work
last April, and it is noly a fair statement
to say that under like conditions no
moro illustrious Campaign was ever
made thai tiiat Zombro is now closing,
lie was shipped lirst to Oregon, a dis
tance of 11201 miles, taken out of the cars
and stal led agonist aged horses, winning
in straight he;'ts. He also won a three
year-old event. At. Sacramento ho was
attacked by distemper and beaten, but
made a record of 2:1!) in the second heat.
At Yallejo Boodle, an aged horse and
tough campaigner, beat him out in 2:16.
Zumbro won the 2:24 trot in straight
heats, the fastest being 2:17.','. At Napa
be started in tho three-year-old event
and won the fbust race for horses of thut
age ever seen on this coast. Tho time of
the live heats was, 2:19, 2:l(i, 2:16%,
2:15%, 2:15';., Zombro winning the last
Ihree. Ho went to Woodland and won
two races, leaving there with a new rec
ord of 2:13. At the stato fair in Sacra
mento lugo, an aged horse prepared espe
cially fur this race, beat Zombro only by
an eyelash in 2:11. Thu following week
at Stockton Zombro turned up fresh and
easily beat lago who plainly snowed the
effects of the bruising raco at Sacra
mento. Taken all in all it is doubtful if
there is in this Country a liner three
year-old than this splendid son of the
mighty McKinney. Ho will start this
week at the breeders' meet and is lit for
the race ci his life.
THE WHIRRING WHEEL
The Herald ol Monday contained tho
best cycling department ever published
in a daily ol this oitv.—Pacilic Field.
THE NATIONAL CIRCUIT.
It is to be rogrettod that Pasadena re
fused to hold a National circuit meet be
cause they could not get tbe two days
previous to tlie Los Angeles meet, No
vember li Ist. 2'id and 28d, Ho much hav
ing been said about the protest of Los
Angeles, Tho Herald interviewed tho lo
cal race committee and learned the fol
lowing from documents and letters on
file:
The race committee was in communi
cation regarding tbo National circuitwith
Mr. Robert Welch, representative of the
National racing board, as far hack as De
cember, 1804. In January, Mr. il. E. Ray
mond, then chairman of the board, was
applied to for a sanction, but refused to
grant it as his term was nearly up, not
wishing to set daios for meets after iiis
retirement. Mr. Gideon, who succeeded
Mr. Raymond on the hoard, wrote the
I local committee that dates would beset
for Aptil 2.1, and Los Angeles being the
lirst applicant would be awarded Ihe lirst
dates. Thu lirst timo the dates were set.
I.os Angeles conflicted wUh.Snu Jose,and
a change was made. Then came a lettej
saying that unless more dates were made
in California the Nutiunrl circuit ohosen
would not cdinn at all. Los Angeles at
once took two more dates, mnking three
in ali. Santa Ana took two and Riverside
one. I.os Angeles was awarded Novem
ber 21st, 22d and 23d of their circuit days
and pioceeded to advertise. Just two
weeks ago, Pasadena applied for a sanc
tion for November 20th, the day before
the races here. The local committee at
once wrote Mi. Weicn and objected to
Pusaedna receiving the day applied for,
justly claiming that Angeles was the
lirst applicant and therefore was entitled
tv the lirst meet in Southern California,
having been assured of this by the Na
tional racing board. On this, Mr. Welch
declined the sanction for Pasadena, tint
offered other dates which were refused.
This is the whole matter a-nd tlie entire
trouble is I due to tlie lack of common
sense of one man. As far ns any feeling
in tlie matter is concerned,the local com
mittee have nothing whatever against
Pasadena or theCruwn City Cycling clr.b,
but they apparently believed tbey were
right in objecting and Mr. Welch certain
ly upheld them by refusing to grant tlie
sanction applied for by l'asadena.
The program und prize list for the na
tional meets tn be held at Uiveisir c anil
Santa Ana are now out. Santa Ana has

Ono mile handicap—First, diamond,

The total of the prize lis! is well over
$1100, and speaks volumes for the enter

As yet there is only one day sot apart
for tho meeting of the cracks at River
side, though the club may apply for No
vember 30 also. Tbe list of events as net
tled is as follows:
Mile open, class A; three mile handi
cap, class A; one mile open, class 11;
two mile lap race, class I!, and one milo
handicap, class 11. The value of tho
prizes will be between $700 and $800,
which is large for a meet with but live
events on the card.
The local race committee is putting in
plenty of hard worn perfecting arrange
ments for tho coming national circuit
meet in Los Angeles and promise such a
raco meet as bas never been seen here.
Most of the prizes for the various events
have been selected and consist mainly of
diamonds. The entire list will run well
over $1000 in value,and will by long odds
be the largest and host priz,o list ever
offered in Southern California. The pro
gram and value of prizes is as follows:
Class A—One mile, novice, $25; one
mile host. $100; one mile, handicap, $75;

ABOUT THE TRACKS,
The Los Angeles Athletic club track has
been altered io that its old friends will
have some difficulty in rccogiiizngg it for
the same. The Citius Wheelmen have

Clint have been made and these gentlemen
nave gone tv an expense ol about |tK)O to
order to mako the traelc fast and safe for
the precious caroasais of tne circuit chas
ers. The banking on both tuins has been
raised four feet, making a bank six feet
high. The turns are twenty-one feet wide
and so the rise is at the rate of one foot
i:i three and a half. Thu stretches have
both been widened and are now twenty
three feet wide. Tho entire track is being
Surfaced with a special gravel that is
found out blVOnd Boyle heights, and
when it is linishsd and worn there will
be no faster tracK in this part of the
state. The? whole work bas been done
under the supervision of John Kilroy,
who has been tlie curotaker id' the pnrk
ever slneo the club has been there. His
fondness for lbe trade is such that il has
been said that he would take it tn bed
witii him if he could. Barring this ho

was accepted by tbo gentlemen having
the mutter in charge on Friday evening
and was turned over to the lecal riders
for the lirst time on Sunday morning.
Mr. dates to the contrary, the remodeled
traon will bo as safe and fast one ns can
Ue found in this part of the country, nnd
there is no doubt but that iho time in
the national meet will be good enough to
Satisfy tlie most fastidious. The commit
tee also proposes to erect a grand stand
on the far side of the track near the lin
llh, so that spectators can see the riders
crossing the tape. Tbe lack of this op
portunity lias always been a great draw
back to visitors at tlie Athletic park.
The Redlands track, when linished, wi II
add another to tbe string ot bicycle tracks
in Southern California. At the present
rate of progress we shall have the largest
number of fast, up-to-date tracks in the
country. The liedlands track will cost
about 19000, and 's modelled closely after
the famous Fountain Ferry track at
Louisville. It is situated abou". three
clocks from tlie business cente- of the
town, wiiich will be of advantage iv tbe
mattrr of increased attendance. Mr.
Kingsbury Sanborn, the engineer wio
constructed the Riverside track, made the
plans fo the Redlands oval, and Mr.
Walter liutler is superintending Hid con
struction.
WITH THE CRACKS. '
Ulbrloht and Hatton, the crack tandem
team, now hold two coast records, the
mile competition and tbe mile Onpaced.
Both were made at (he recent SontuMonicj
meet, and tho time for tbe competitio.i
event was 2:15 and tlie nnpaced trial
against timo event in 2:08.
The wonderful unpacod mile record of
"Mud Horse" Billy Hamilton of Denver
would seem a pretty hard nut to crack.
Tbe time was 2-no 2-5, but attempts will
be made at every meet in California to
lower this mark.
Herb McCrea and Fritz Lacy, two of
tbe fastest and most popular local riders,
expect to go north to attend the San Joso
National meet and lind out in advance
woere they stand with the great circuit
chasers.
Last Thursday a number of electrio
cars were held upon Spring street by
the unusual spectacle of a horse trying
to ride a bicycle. In regard to this we
are forcibly reminded of the words of
Mahomet, revised, "There is but one
burse, and tia name is 'Mud Horse'
Hamilton."
H. C. F. Smith, the ollieial tandicap

he follows tho circuit hu will need a
body-guard, for Santa Ana alone lias put
six handicap events on her program.
Concerning tho oft-repeated kick of the
riders at raoe meets snent the inflated
value of prizes Cabanne is suid to have
asked Eddie Bald of tho Columbia team:
"Let me see that diamond you won in
tho mile open." Bald replied: "You

Apropos of this, Walter Foster is going
to Livermore to attack the straightaway
mile record of 1:34 1-5, held by Wilbur
Edward-, and made at the same place.
Foster declares that he can put the time,
below 1:30. and will be paced by the fam
ous Rambler quad team, Allan Jones, C,

For the lirst time in the memory of
man Phil Kitchen is training bard. He

AROUND THE CLUBS.
Tbe Citrus Wheelmen added six mors
members to the'r roll last Tuesday even
ing, making sixty members in all. It is
ono of the rules of the. club that ali mem
bers must belong to the League of Ameri
can Wheelmen. As the majority of those
admitted to the club have never belonged
to any cycling organization, the secretary
of the club now sends a weeuly remit
tance to Mr. Bassett for initiation fees
to the L. A. W.
The Orange County Wheelmen are mak
ing preparations to entertain the circuit
chasers when they arrive in their city.
The meet comes on Thanksgiving day,
and the time is peculiarly appropriate for
tbe banquet that tbo club expects to give.
There will also be a colossal smoker, to
which all leitguo members of the south
division will be invited.
The East Side Cycling club ia the only
club in the city that has its own club
house, and v charming little place it is.
It is situated on Chestnut street, and the
members nre partially refurnishing the
place. A billiard table will be put upstairs
and curtains and large easy chairs will
be put in the lower rooms to please the
loungers. A smoker will soon be given
for the entertainment of those riders who
were succtssfulfat the reesnt Santa Mon
ica meet.
The Crown City Cycle club has been
disappointed in securing their dates for
the national meet and so reluse to hold
any races. The club has allowed itself to
bo led astary by the bail advice of a cei
tain brainless individual who was at lirat
refused admission, but who finally forced
himself into the organization. It would
he much better If the club would accept
dates in December, for absolute refusul of
any timo other than the one chosen by
themselves seems to smaeit of a rather
childish pique. It resembles the plicht
of the gentleman who removed his nasal
appendage in order to get even with his
face.
The Bay City Wheelmen of San Fran
cisco are getting up one of their justly
celebrated and unique minstrel perform
ances as a reception to Charley Wells and
Harry Terrill. ilotb these men are now
on tbe national circuit, and will arrive
with the chasers to take part in the
northern meets.
ON THE DIAMOND
The St. Louis Sporting News has a re
port of tho [eelitig of the Los Angeles
baseball cranks over the foisting of an al
leged tiasoojll team on the town, If tney
could hear some of the remarks concern
ing the "star" aggregation when the San
Francisco dispatches came in announcing
the usual defeat of the Los Angeles team
these gentlemen might not come down
here. If some kind friend would only in
form them or the state of feeling In tbe
t own, how happy we should be.
There was a somewhat uninteresting
"lime of oaseball at Athletic Park yester
day, between the Brunswicks and the
Trilbys. It took ten innings to decide
the question, tho Trilbys winning with a
score of 11 to 12. Farrow and Henry
were the battery for the Brunswicks and
the old stand-bys, Shaw and Carroll, ren
dered similar service for the Trilbys.
Neither Shaw or Farrow pitched phe
nomenal ball, the latter being exception
ally wild at times. The features were the
errors and ull-round poor playing of tlie
Brunswicks, Van Horn put up his usual
good game at left and Courtney did well
at lirst. The Trilbys pot through the ten
innings with only one error, something
they never did before. This is the last
game between these clubs for some time.
The score in figures is as follows:

clever men make fools of themselves and
play "horse." The proliininarv bouts of
the evening were slow and stupid, and
put, tlie onlookers in a Dad state of mind
for tlie event of the evening, which was
not calculated to wake them up. Neither
of the two niggers is a clever mm, and
they spent must of their time in walking
around casting ferocious glances at each
other. Such exhibitions do not greatly
increase any club's prestige.
TRACK ATHLETICS
Tlih Log Angeles Ath'utic club ia now
