Great Features—The Agricultur
al Exhibits as Usual Be
hind Their Time.
Perfect weather favored the opening
day of the District Agricultural asso
ciation's raise meeting yesterday. All
the conditions were propitious, the
track being in excellent shape for fast
time. Certainly the outlook for a very
successful meeting feems bright indeed.
The attendance alone was nJk what it
Should have been, the grand stand not
being half filled. A goodly number of
fashionable equipages, however, lined
the rails and "society" was well repre
sented. An exceptionally attractive
card was offered for the fnitial day and
some excellent racing was witnessed.
The victory of Jasper Ayres, an old fa
vorite, n the 2:14 trot was very popular,
though Mamie Griffin from the first
found many admirers, whom after her
first splendid showing she sadly disap
pointed. The first heat of this race
proved to be the finest struggle of the
day, many believing it to have resulted
in a dead heat and the issue lying in
doubt until the judges made- their deci
sion. As the dusk descended upon the
track, when a large proportion of the
spectators had wended their way home,
the Perkins' gelding finally asserted his
supremacy. Jennie Mc, ahandaomebay
filly, had things ail her own way in the
2:20 pace. Mr. Durfee has in her.a very
likely youngster. The single exhibition
of the Australian "gate" did not prove
as great a success as anticipated, the
horses being nervous of the apparent
obstacle. No doubt, when they become
Inured to the novelty, its ingenuity and
economy of time and patience will be
appreciated. The Los Angeles Derby
went to the favorite, but a very likely
horse from the Santa Anita stables,Ales
saldio. was badly left from the start, and
considering the amount of ground he
picked up, would certainly have proved
dangerous under other conditions. Cor
dova captured the maiden plate at six
furlongs and was very cleverly ridden.
The sole attention of visitors yester- :
flay was devoted to the racing, the usual i
attachments not being In evidence. The
arrangements on the whole were excel
lent and the card was dispatched with
praiseworthy promptitude, Senator Rose
manipulating the bell and insuring a
rapid succession of Interest. The only
complaint audible was from the press
box; totally inadequate accommoda
tion is furnished those who have duties
to perform and are severely handicap
ped tn their performance fiorn lack of
elbow room. There were at least eight
or nine representatives of newspapers
present but there were only Aye chairs
in the press box and a very uncomfort
able squeeze at that.
Today will be ladles' day, all the gen
tler sex being welcomed without admis
sion fee. An interesting card is pre- j
pared, two running and two gentle- i
men's road races. For all four events |
large fields are entered and keen compe- i
tit ion is expected. The excellence of the I
program should insure a large, attend- j
ance.
The officials yesterday were: Judges,
Senator L. J. Rose, Capt. J. C. Newton
**4'C«j>t. George nines; timekeepers, |
v" : '1m I f ' If» i : i ,
N. Covarrublas, E, P. Glfford and H.
McGregor.
FIHST RACE.
The first race on the card was the Los
Angeles Derby, sweepstakes, for 3-year
olds, one mile. Prince Hooker and Miss
Pollard were scratched. The entries
were Emma R., Ales-saldlo, Don Pio Pico,
Rebellion and Gra'sT'. The field seemed
distinctly shy of the starting "gate,"
which was tried for the first time on a
Southern California racing track, and
only a poor start was the result, Ales
saldlo being left at the post. Don Pio
Pico at once made the running, leading
to the half, Grady and Rebellion In close
attendance.
Coming into the straight a fine race
ensued between Grady and Rebellion,
Grady holding his own to the finish, win
ning by a neck. A couple of lengths sep
arated Rebellion and Don Pio Pico.
Emma R. finished fourth. Atessatdio
fifth. Time. 1:43*4. The betting on the
race was light, Grady selling favorite
at $10 and the field at IS.
SECOND RACE.
The second race, maiden plate, six
furlongs for 2-year-olds, brought out a
full field. There was some lively specu
lation on this race, the field selling fa
vorite, EI Venado and Cordova finding
many friends. A better start was ef
fected than under the Australian gate.
Mlnta Owen forged ahead, which posi
tion she held to the straight, when Web
ber brought Cordova to the front and
won very handily by a half length from
Sharon Lass, Valdos finishing third. The
time was 1:16%. At the quarters 24 and
51%.

The next event was the 2:20 class, pac
ing, best three In five heats. The entries
were George R.. May Nutford. San T.ui

San Lulsito $4. In the first heat, at the
third attempt the field was got o£f.
Beachwood getting the worst of it. San
Lnisito had the pole. Jennie Me. soon
went to the front and the race was never
in doubt. Durfee's filly was closely fol
lowed by George R. with a strung out
field. Coming in to the straight George
R. broke, repeating the performance
half way down. Jennie Me. won very
easily. Beachwood second, San Luislto
third and George R. having to be content

three quarter mark. Beachwood was
a good second, San Luislto third and
Juliet D. fourth. Time 2:15. To the
quarter 34, half 1:07, three quarters 1:42.
Mamie Grlflln proved a disappointment
to her many followers in the second heat
of the 2:14 class. Jasper Ayres broke
! Just after the start, but soon recovered
i and took the lead. Mamie Griffin, who
was in the lead at the half, broke and

THE AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT.
I»e r :plte the fact that exhibitors were
urged to have their exhibits In place by
the opening day, there was the usual de
lay, and the pavilion presented a scene
of chaos, but very few of the displays
being in place. This, it is believed, will
be remedied today, by which time It is
thought that most of the exhbits will be
|in place. The pavilion is in charge of
| Capt. Frank A. Blake, who has had the
j building beautifully decorated, and cv-
I erythlng Is in readiness for the exhibit
era when they corns In.

occurred yesterday evening at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Desmond, when
their daughter. Miss May Desmond, was
united In marriage to Mr. Alexander M
Shields, by the Impressive Catholic cere
mony. The house was most effectively
decorated in quantities of green and
pretty flowers. In the drawing-room,
where the service took place, were cos
mos and pink roses. A tennis net inter
woven with smilax and dainty blossoms
was gracefully draped in the bay win
dow. In the background were potted
plants and ferns. The mantel of the
back room was banked in green, with a
profusion of flowers giving a dash of
color to the groundwork. A collation was
served at the conclusion of the ceremony
the table being most artistic in La France
•roses.
The bride wore a becoming traveling
gown, with hat to match. Mr. and Mrs
Shields left last night for an extended
eastern tour, and on their return wll!

HE WANTED A RIDE
In Looking for a Horsethief an Officer
Makes a Discovery
Mounted Officer Woodward made a
capture over on Boyle Heights lait
night, bringing to the station an urchin
of 8 years and three feet stature, who
proved to have been a party for whom
the police were looking all day.
About nnon yesterday C. W. Leonar 1,
employed by J. D. Hooker & Co., left a
sorrel horse, attached to a light toy
buggy, hitched In front of the firm's
place of business at 132-134 South I.os
Angeles street. When Leonard finally
went for his rig it was none. He gat v
Immediate notification to the police and
a search was instituted. As no trace of j
the missing rig had been found up to ;
7-30 in the evening, when the night
watch of police went out, all were :
warned to be on the lookout for the dar- ;
!nt? horsethlef. |
About 8:30 the rig was discovered tied .
In the rear of a barn on the premises at
No. 1714 East Seventh street, and snuw- >
t y wrapped up in the taprobe sleeping |
in the bottom of the buggy was the dcs- ,
perate criminal.
To the officer the little lad gave his
name as Victor Stowell and age as 8, aI- ,
though he looks scarcely 6. He toid ,
several contradictory stories as to how j
he came into possession of the horse and
buggy. He lived at the corner of Ma
teo and Palmetto streets, and his father ;
was an engine wiper In a railroad round
house.
At first he said he was afraid of his
stepmother and had run away from
hnhie, then a few minutes later said his
stepmother' had died and been buried
Sunday and that he had no place to go.
He had been given the horse and bus
gy by some man. yet finally said It be
longed to his father, who Had allowed
him to use it. He was escorted to the
station and the hungry and thirsty ani
mat was taker, to a stable.
Or, Inquiry being made at the corn:"' •
of Mateo and Palmetto streets Victor's
statements were found to have a foun
dation of truth. He has a stepmother :
and his father Ik employed in the round
house. His mother said that Victor was j
a wild lad and had run away from home
On Saturday last, since which time |
neither she nor his father had seen j
him. What possessed the child to climb |
Into the buggy and drive away she could
not tell. I
