4 HARNESS RACES AT SACRAMENTD The Monotony Varied by a Runaway on the Track. PROMISE ME’S EXPLOIT Fearless Ed Lafferty Injured in Attempting to Check His Horse. FAVORITES FINISH IN FRONT Flare Up, Gazelle and Our Boy Win Their Respective Events Easily. { SACRAMENTO, Cav, Sept. 15.—An ex- citing accident that occurred during the progress of the 2:17 pace, which happily terminated with no very serious conse- quences for the chief actor, varied the monotony of an otherwise dull and listless day's racing at the track. The ircident| that caused the vast crowd in the grand stand to jump to their feet and be afflicted with a temporary suspension of their | breathing powers was caused by a broken rein and a brave and fearless driver's | atiempt to stop his runaway horse. Among the starters in the pace was Promise Me, the musical-faced horse, which races with a silver tube inserted in his throat. He is owned by La Siesta ranch and is trained aua handled by the popular California reinsman, Ed Lafferty. The big chestnut was unplaced in the first two heats, but in the third exhibited more | speed, showing third to Our Boy and Jennie Mc, as the trio rounded the bend into the backstretch. The pace was a hot one and as the quarter was passed he left his feet and about opposite the five and a half furlong. pole it was apparent he had got beyond control of his driver. A second | ] later and a figure in red was seen to junm'p | from the bike and land tquarely on the | runaway horse’s back, and it was apparent that a break in the harness had ocenrred. To the horror of the spectators, Lafferty ‘was seen to slide off the horse; but in his fall he managed to grasp the broken rein and there he hung, with the furious ani- mal going at breakneck speed. As the | half pole was reached, the daring driver | let go his grasp and fell prostrate on the | track. A conveyance was hurriedly sent to pick him up, and as it passed the stand with Lafferty, pale as a ghost, sitting on the back seat, the grand stand spectators | arose and cheered the plucky horseman. An examination by a physician showed no serious injuries, the fortunate driver escaping with a severe shaking up, and some slight abrasions. It was the most sensational incident of the fair for vears. The horse was caught without doing any damage to any of the other starters. | Flare Up, Gazelle and Our Boy captured their respective races without much diffi- | culty, starting pronounced favorites in the betting, and most of the layers of odds had a slight crimp put into their bank Tolls. The first event called was a trotting stake, valued at $550, for two-year-olds. Oakwood Park stock farm’s filly Fiare Up, a daughter of Charles Derby, bad first call in the betting at $20, with Majella bring- ing $8, and the fieid, consisting of Tele- phone and Ben Wiles, going for $3. The first choice appeared for the first heat, minus hobbles, and broke repeatedly. She finished ontside the flag, but the distance was waived. Majella,driven by “Jimmy’’ Sullivan, captured the heat easily in 2:29, with Ben Wilkes second. Majella now suled favorite, but when next Flare Up came oui she had hobbles on. and took two heats without much difficulty in 2:22, 2:24}4. Majella, a vame daughter of Wiil Direct, showed lameness as she scored up for the second heat, but pluckily stuck to her work, finishiug a good second in each heat rattled off. The 2:17 trot was a gift for Winship & Keating’s black mare Gazelle, a barred favorite 1n the betting. Sue easily headed her field out in straight heats. Time, 2:14, 2:16, 2:14)¢. Margaret Wortb, skilifully driven by the Los Angeles horseman, ‘Waiter Maben, was second in the first two heats, securing second money. The books laid 8 to 1a show against Caryle Carne, which finished third in the third heat. The 2:17 pace was another straight heat affair, Our Boy, which brought $10 in the pools against’ §6 for Sophie R and $3 for the fieid, downing his field without effort. Best time, 2:15. Jennie Mc earned second money by finishing second ip the first two heats. : Pacing, 2:80 class, two-year old stake, 2in 3, value $550, Flare Up, b. £, by Charles Derby-Flash (Chaboya) 7 1 Magella. br. £, by Wiil Direct (Sullivan).. 12 2 Ben Wilkes, ch, b., by Easter Wilkes (Try- OB)- - aakos Telephone, blk £, by George D DetL) vn..

The 2:10 pace will bring together the speedy ‘‘side-winders" Agitato, Baywood, Al Gregor, Javelin and Bill Fraser, and this will be anotier fierce speculating affair. President Gobbof the San Joaquin Ag- ricultural Society was a spectator at the track to-day. he announcement was made that Stockton would give a 2:10 trot and a 2-15 pace. Bookmaker Ed Wallace is in receipt of a letter from St. Lounis, which states that Bookmaker Johnny Coleman and the Quinn brothers are now en route to Cali- forna.

FOOTBSLL AT STANFURD, New Players Already Show Muoh Im- wrovement in Their Work. STANKFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Sept. 15.—As fast as they can be uniformed, the football players are appearing on the grid- iron, and while most of the new mea ban- dle the pigskin in a ragged manner, they work with so much interest and conscien- ciousness that they are already showing improvement. Several of the old varsity and second eleven men have not yet come out for proctice because suits cannot be supplied as fast as needed. There are already some thirty-five suits out, but at least tifty or sixty men want football para- pharnalia, from the noseguard to ankle- supports. The management promises to et everything needed as fast as possible. 'be proximity of inter-class games now is making all football players unusually anxious to get out. The games are billed o come off on the 19th, 23d and 26th inst. The new gridiron has just been put into shape and a light practice game will be played on it to-morrow, though for two nights past the players have been at work upon it. The new field bas been plowed, harrowed, covered with straw to give it the proper spring and again harrowed. This, it is claimea, will prevent the men from getting hurt through falling and will lessen the number of slight accidents that might otherwise occur. Just at present there is talk of giving the first and second elevens a few short trips to the towns in the neighborhood. This would increase the interest of the players in their work on the field. Mana- ger Brown says that both teams will go to San Jjose on October 3. Other trips have not yet been arranged. vt S ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

SAN JOSE, Cav., Sept. 15.—The taking of testimony-in the trial of Harvey Allender for the murder of Miss Walburga Feilner on August 9 began this morning befoxe Judge Lorigan. On the day in question Allen- der met Miss Feililerand Venanz Crosetti, to whom the girl was engaged, and shot and killed them both. Jealousy is sup- posed to have been the cause of the mur- aer. The courtroom was packed with spectators all day, a large part of whom were ladies, Five eye-witnesses to the shooting were examwined. R. D. Stewart, a young man residing at 145 North Fifth street, was the first wit- ness put on by the prosecution. He said he was atthe Emvire engine-house, just across the street, when the shooting oc- curred. He saw Miss Feilner and Venanz Crosetti standing on the east sidewalk of Third street, diagonally across from the Emfire engine-house. Thedefendant was behind them., He saw the girl shake her finger at the defendantarnd heard them talking, but did not know what was said. She turned away as she withdrew her band from in front of defendant's face. Allender then shot her. She reeled and in a moment fell a few feet from where she stood when shot. Crosett1 grabbed at Allender’s hands. There was & brief tussle and Allender shot him. He ran across the street toward the engine-house. The witness saw Allender draw the re- volver from his hip pocket. John Kent, a fireman, told practically the same story. He heard the three talk- ing and heara the girl say something in broken English and German, but did not understand what was sa:d. She took her band down after shaking her finger in All- ender’s face. Then he saw Allender draw the revolver, heard the girl scream and saw and heard the shot. D. W. Herrington, Mrs. A. Love and other eye-witnesses toid practically the same story. The prosecution will finish its case to- morrow night. ——— Not the Camptell Murderer. SAN JOSE, Car, Bept. 15.—Sheriff Lyndon to-day received iwo pictures of Michael D.

Prevents a Supervisor From Eleoting Himself to a Shrievalty. . MARYSVILLE, Car., Sept.15.—Injune- tion proceedings were commenced on Thursday last against W. B, Atkinson, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, to prevent him from voting for himself in the election of a Sheriff to succeed the late 8. E. Inlow. The restraining order sum- moned him to appearin court to-aay to show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent. Eastern decislons are against him, and the court declared it will be a void act for him to vote for him- self. There are five members in the board, two of whom favor Atkinson and two Lee Inlow, a son of the deceased Sheriff of Yuba County. Atkinson had the deciding vote, which he sou:ht to cast for himself. His next move will probably be to resign and have the Governor appoint a suc- cessor favorable to bim. % - adbvirt A Stanford Sophomores Elect Officers.

FIESTA-OF AGUA DULCE, Miners, Mexicans and Indians Join in a Carnival of Sport. Races, Wrestling, Shooting Matches and Queer Dances to Amuse the Spectators. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Sept. 15.—An Indian runner of the Cocopah tribe arrived at Campo this evening with letters from the miners at Agua Dulce and Jacalitos, ask- ing everyvbody along the border to go down to Agna Dalce aud join in the fiesta, which began to-night and will last through the week. The Cocopah, who bears the euphonious name of Red Beans, and who is famous as a runner, says that all the Cocopah Indians from the Colorado River and mountains bhave gathered at Agna Duice and havea camp numbering several hundred bucks. They took all their best horses there and are getting ready to bet everything they haye on races. Running races for long distances be- tween Indians wili be one of the sports. Red Beans and Steps on His Shirt, both of the same tribe, have tested their powers many times and seem to be perfectiy matched. They will ran with a missive to Governor Sangines at Ensenada, forty miles from Agua Dulce. and return. Red Beans says he can make the ninety miles between suns, The Mexican ranchers for miles around have trotted out their fancy stock and will put it up against the hardy mustanes of the Indians. The miners have organized a social club, and the belles of the Coco- pahs and Santa Catarina tribes and Mexi- can settlements will be treated to a genu- ine cotillon by the scions of Eastern aris- tocracy who hLave arifted out into the camps. General Isidore Canado, chief of all the Indians in the peninsula, with headquar- ters in Santa Catarina, has moved his whole establishment to Agua Dulce to enjoy the fiesta to its fullest. He has over fifty braves in his own immediate family, all stalwart fellows, good runners, expert deer-slayers and poor woodchoppers. They have taken their dancing dress to the gathering of the clans, and will treat their white and dusky neighbors to sev- eral dances, the most interesting being the turtle dance, which seems t0 be pe- culiar to them, In Santa Catarina Valley, near General Isidore’s camp, is a huge stone turtle, seeming to be of natural formation. The Indians have woven many legends about it, incinding a story that the bad spirit has a passage-way under the turtle lead- ing to the infernal regions. They say the turtle moves at certain seasons of the year. Their dance is ulated to scare the devil, and it is always successful. Shooting-matches with revolvers by ex- pert miners and Mexicans, knife-throwing contests, chicken pulling, bareback rac- ing, dancing, feasting and all-round gayety will fill the week. The mescal venders in the camp expect to settie the financial question witbout difficuity through increased patronage. Baniago’ Verdugo and Timoteo Velasco. wrestlers, have gone over from Sangre de Cristo to show their skill. Both are fat, like Japanese wrestlers, but are said to be wonderfully active. ’ The celebration to-morrow at Ensenada of Mexican Inaependence day promises to be very successful.
