WOODLAND, Car., Aug. 20.—All ar- rangements are now complete for the opening of the fifth annual fair and race- meet given under the auspices of the Fortieth Agricultural District Association on next Monday. The meeting will con- tinue during the week and will without doubt eclipse all former fairs. At a meeting of the directors held last night it was decided to change the pro- gramme and not have three days’ trotting and pacing and three days of running, but to have trotting, pacing and running events each day. The stables are rapidly filling with racers and the track isalways thronged with them going through their exercise. The track and grounds are in excellent condition, and it will be & wonder if some records are not broken at this meeting. Some of the most prominent horsemen of the State are present, among them be- ing James Dustin and John Phippen, who have the Palo Alto string in charge. This is the only place outside of the State Fair that witl be visited by this lot of horses. Abdell, who holds the [yearling record of the worid; Palita, 2:161{; Hel- ena, 2:15; and Athena, 2:17, are some of the horses comprising the string. Car- ragher’s stable of Sacramento is repre- sented by Blue Bells and Palatina, and in charge of Driver Bennett. Winship & Keating's string arrived to- day from Butte, Mont. They are headed by the famous trotter Ottinger, 2:11, and Agitato, pacer, 2:11. John Peader’s horses, from the same place, are also quar- terea at the track. They are Roan Wilkes, | pacer, 2:12, and Challenger Chief, 2:15. The great pacer, Colonel Benton, 2:141¢, is also at the track in charge of G. K. Crawforth, who formerly had charge of the racing stable of ihe late Senator Fair. & “Curly” Shields has been stationed -at the track several days with a string of nine runners, including Howard 8. “Col- onel”’ J. B. Ferguson, late of the Bay Dis- trict Track, will start the runners, and W. P. McNair will officiate as starter for the trotting and pacing events. G. W. Wallace will have charge of the pool-selling, which insures a liberal pat- ronage by the betting public. There is every indication of a week of rare sport. The entries close this week. s S ROBERT J BEAT FRANK AGaN, He Had to Pace a Mile in 2:04 to Do It BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 20.—Robert J | aid the trick to-day and his rival, Frank | Agan, was second. While records were | not cracked, the track record was equaled in the first heat. The second day of the grand circuit meeting here brought out a large attendance. The weather was cool and pleasant and the track in excellent condition. The feature of the day was the free-for-all pace, in which Robert J, Frank Agan and W W P scored for the word. Robert J drew the pole and went the dis- tance without a skip. Agan held to his wheel at the half, lapped him at the three- quarters and came into the stretch with a good fighting cbance, but the little geld- ing outfcoted him from the distance-pole and won by a good length in 2:04, the track record. The second heat was & repetition of the first, except that W W P acteéd badiy on the first half and failed 1o save his distance.

DA Y UNFAIR RIDING CHARGED, Tom Cooper and kddie Bald May Be Suspended. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 20.—A Herald special from Philadelphia say It leaked out here yesterday that charges of unfair riding at the recent L. A. W. meet at Lou- isville have been msade against Eddie Bald of Buffalo and Tom Cooper of Detroit, and that their indefinite suspension from the track is not improbable. Chairman Gideon of the L. A. W. racing board admitted that charges had been brought against Baid and Cooper and that the papers were forthcoming, but declined to discuss them. *‘I will go over all the evidence pro sand con,” said Mr. Gideon, “and if the proof is undeniable two more wheelmen will be placed under the ban. Just how long they will be suspended it would not be diplo- matic for me to say, but both the public and wheeimen will be treated with fair- ness. Ii the latter are guilty and their offense was premeditated they will get full measure.” Mr. Gideon, while in office, is determined to exert all his efforts in purifying the sport, and now that the L. A. W. has ab- solute jurisdiction over both the amateur and prolessional riders the public can ex- pect to be protected against fixed races. —_———— PREPARING FOX A RICH STAKE, 1t Will Be Worth Possibly as Much as $150,000. 4 NEW YORK, N.

Crane of Turlock had sold and was driving to the point of deliv- ery, met with an accident while crossing the Chedister bridge over the Merced River yesterday. While the cattle were being driven overthe bridge the farther end gave way, precipitating a number of them into the bed of the stream about thirty feet below. Immediately afterward the other end, wrenched by the strain, gave way and more were dropped. On the center portion of the bridge, which remained intact, about six of the animals were left standing. There was not water enough in the river to break the fall of the animals and many were killed, while otkers had their backs broken and were otberwis: seriously in- ured. About twenty are dead and others will perhaps have to be killed because of their injuries. Mr. Crane has telegrap: ed to Supervisor J. Q. Drummond, in whose district the bridge is located, to meet him to-morrow and inspect the scené of the accident. - COASTING ON CARMEL RBILL: A Pacific Grove Bicyolist Had & Narrow Escape From Death. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL, Aug. 20.— Frank Berry, a Monterey Alderman, while driving up Carmel Hill, near that city, yesterday, became entangled with George A. Ferris, a bicyclist staying in Pacific Grove. About half way up the hill Ferris saw the team approaching, but attempted mfiau between the fence and Berry's rig. He would have accomplished it successfully had not the horse become frightened and whirled airectly in the middle of t e road. The result was that Ferrisand his wheel raninto the buggy and Ferris was thrown violently to theground. When picked up he was unconscious. He remained in that condition for some time after being carried to Monterey. A doctor was summoned and his injuries at- tended to. The doctors say he will re- cover but it was a very narrow escape BITTER FEUDS COST POLITIS, End of the Long Demo- . cratic Deadlock at Los Angeles. NEITHER MAN SELECTED Rose Withdrew on Condition That His Adversary Would Do Likewise. H, W. PATTON IS NOMINATED, Populists Combine With Adversaries of the Silver Republicans in Idaho. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Aug. 20.—Patton has been nominated, not the original simon pure George 8., but his namesake, Major Harry W. Patton, editor of the Weekly Capital of this city, one of Gov- ernor Budd’s new trustees of the insane asylum at Highlands. This ends one of the most remarkable political contests ever known in the State. After a few ballots this forenoon, in which the vote stood 36 to 36 for L. J. Rose and George S. Patton, the former took the floor amid breathless excitemeni and, after explaining how he came to get into the fight, proposed to end the tire- some struggle by withdrawing from the contest provided his opponent would do 50, too. On motion of Senator White of | the Patton forces a recess of twenty min- utes was taken to permit a conference. On reassembling Candidate Patton rose to speak. With much feeling he told of the fightthat had peen waged againt him by the Rose contingent and the loy- alty of his friends in standing by him through the long, weary struggle. He named John Muir and Lawyer Her- riugton of the Southern Pacific and ex- claimed, “‘Some victories are more disas- tfous than defeats.”” He reaiized, he said, that he had been defea‘ed and hurled de- fiance at his adversaries as he went down and withdrew. He has good reason for antipathy toward some of the railroad people. Tom McCaffery, the company’s chief train-dispatcher here, manipulated the wires which beat Mr. Patton. The oratory in the same direction was ably contributed by John W. Michell ana J. Marion Brooks. After the deadlock candidates had with- drawn there was easy sailing. H. W. Patton and C. A. Barlow were placed before the convention and the roll- call was ordered. Votes were cast for half a dozen men. H. W. Patton having a majority of all the votes cast was declared the nominee. He is no relative of George S. Patton. (s PR N HARD STRUGGLE IN IDAHO. | Populists and Democrats Combine De- spite Bitter Opposition. SALT LAKE, Uran, Aug. 20.—A special to the Herald from Boise (Idaho) says: The Democrats and Populists have agreed to fuse and the bolting Republicans are left out in the cold. After three days— days filled with anxiety and characterized by many features unpleasant to tke par- ticipants—the two parties have agreed upon a basis of fusion, and all that now remains is for the Democratic Convention to officially ratify the agreement arrived at at 2 o’clcck this afternoon. The nominations will be distributed as follows: To the Democrats, Presidential electors, Supreme Court Justice, Governor, Attorney-General, Treasurer, Mine Inspec- tor. To the Populists, the Legislature, Senator. Congressmen, Lieutenant.Gov- ernor, Secretary of State, State Auditor, Superintendent of Public Instruction. he fusion idea was fought bitterly by the middle-of-the-road men, who were given the hearty support of Dubois and the other Republican bolters. The seri- ous bone of contention was the Senator- ship, and the Duboisites several times came near disrupting all the prearranged plans and stampeding the conference com- mittee. The result of the prolonged conference has been to embitter a number of thoce who fought fusion with such dogged de- termination. Among these is Hon. J. H. Hawley, a candidate for S8enator. When he learned that the Democrats had agreed to give the Populists the Senator he de- clared publicly that he would take the stump against the entire arrangement. The convention will meet to-morrow and commence the work of nominating the combination ticket. In this confer- ence the Democrats have come off vic- torious. Three of the Populists who op- posed fusion bolted the convention. gy FUSION AT EUREKA. D emoorats and Populists Select a Com- bination Ticket.

MADERK MINE AT STAKE A Land Office Case Involving the Title to a Rich Property. Jumped, It Is Alleged, Bocause the Owners Had Not Perform:d Legal Work. STOCKTON, CarL., Aug. 20.—J. Walter Smith, register of the local land office, has now before him a case involving the title It was the property of the Dunphy estate and is known as the Hildreth mine. The title of the suit is Tripp et al. against Carmen U. Dunphy, thewidow and administratrix of the Dunpby estate. The case was transferred to this county for hearing by the Commissioners at the land office at Washington. The plaintiffs applied to the land office of Madera County, but they were denied a hearing. They then ap- pealed to the United States Commission- er, who ordered Mr. Smith to hear the case. Tripp and others claim thatthe Dunphy estate failed to make the necessary $100 development of the property each year prior to obtaining a patent, and that by reason of that failure they had forfeited their titie to the mine. They have taken vossession, and the object of the present inquiry is to determine whether the facts warrant their holding possession. It is claimed that the mine had not been worked for the last few years and the jumpers took quiet possession of the prop- erty, there being no one at the mine rep- resenting the estate which claimed it. Now that there is a boom in mning the property is looked upon as. being more valuable, and hence the squabble to get possession of it. W. P. Thompson, the attorney for Tripp et al., stated to-day thatif there had not been a boom in min- ing he believed the estate would not con- test the jumpers’ claim to the property. The mine is said to be a rich one, and it’is asserted that over $500,000 was taken out of it while it was in operation. Yesterday the plaintiffs, or the con- testants, as they style themselves, put in their side of the case. They claim that the estate had not spent $100 on the mine for the past three or four years, but they specitically aliege thatit had not durmg the vear 1895. 1t wason the 1st of Janu- ary that they jumped the claim. The most important evidence that they adduced was that furnished by O. H. Cole, Justice of the Peace of Madera County, who testified that it was sworn to bafore him in a crim- inal suit that grew out of the mine trouble that $100 had not been expended on the property in several yéars, 0. P. H. Bvans, who represents the es- tate, asked for more time toputin his side of the case and the matter was continued until the 10th prox. gl IWANAGA AT SAN DIEGO. 2he Japanese Steamship President Met by Prominent Citizens.
