Kprague, spokesman for the party, said that the valley contained about three thousand people and was being rapidly developed, but that the public lacked knowledge of the resources and possibilities of the section.

Prof. Sprague promised that the Antelope Valley Association would bear nil expenses connected with the visit.

The board of directors decided to postpone action in the matter till the next tegular meeting. A special committee, appointed to confer with a committee from the Merchants' Association regarding a proposed display of California products in Berlin during the coming winter, reported that the conference had been heldand the conclusion reached that the undertaking was not practicable at present.

The patrons of the racing at the fair have been bothered more than a little in trying to keep tab on the winners, by the fact two programmes are sold, one Inside the grounds, called the official programme and the other in the oars and outside of the grounds proper.

The latter is made up by an irresponsible party, and of necessity cannot have the accuracy of the official announcements. giving neither the numbers or colors of the horses, in Much confusion has been caused by this circumstance, and the inevitable mixing tin of results from this cause has made the book-makers and their customers, with the non-bet ting portion of the crowd, a great deal or annoyance. Some remedy should be devised by the management to protect the public from whatever imposition is practiced in this way. SILKWpOD GO? The Santa Ana correspondent of The Times "Silkwood has not yet departed for Los Angeles, and there seems to be a possibility that he will not be. in the- free-for-all pace there Saturday.

It is however, that his owner, Mr. Wllllts, will start with him tomorrow (Thursday) and drive him to WhRtieV and complete the -journey to the Agricultural Park the following day. Mr. Wllllts said this afternoon that he was not yet sure whether he would gp or not, that he had been expecting 'word from the directors of the Los Angeles Fair Association, but had not 'heard' from them yet. i The answer wiir undoubtedly fce forthcoming, however.

The general impression here, is, that while his race with Wood last, Friday was a good work out, and he has bad some tood work since, that Silkwood cannot possibly be put into good enough condi tion to win the race against Waldo J. and W. Wood In so short a time. There are many, however, who look for him to retrieve himself, as he did two years ago and win in straight heats on the Los Angeles track. It begins to look as though Silk wood's owner is h-'-ppo-drbming and hiring out 'the big black horse as a drawing card without regard to the winning of prize money." TQDAY.
