8 RACING EVENTS AT STOCKTON Auditor’'s Admirers Lose Heavily on Him, but Win on Bastina. i LOUPE PLUCKS HONORS. Paces the Fastest Heats Ever Traveled Over the Stockton Courses. PICKPOCKETS COME TO GRIEF. Weather Is Warmer and Visitors From Sacramento Help Swell the Crowd. STOCKTON, CaL., Sept.24.—It is said wine ripens with age, and as the fair progresses the crowd continues to increase in size. To-day the largest crowd of the week saw some good, clean sport in nearly every instance. The infield was well populated to-day with vehicles of differ- ent descriptions, and a delegation of Sacramentans helped swell the number of | spectators in the grand stand. The thermometer took a startling up- ward jump. The horses seem to enjoy the change if the public did not. A num- ber of pickpockets, posing as touts, did a thriving business. One or two who were luckless enough to fall into the clutches of the law through their clumsiness bid fair to become wards of the State for some time to come. Auditor, favorite for the 2:24 trot, dis- appointed his admirers, who fell heavily by his downfall, but they pulled out by backing Bastina, favorite for the 2:27 pace, and Rebellion, first in demand for the mile handicap. The unfinished 2:13 pace was the first | event called. Loupe, with two heats to his credit, raced with Del Norte to the homestretch, when he drew away and won cleverly in 2:10%, thus winning,| the honor of having been the victorious contestant in the fastests heats ever trav- eled over the Stockton circular or kite courses. Driver Joe Edge’s horse Auditor was considered quite the fashionable thing for the 2:24 trot, and his friends jumped aboard, bidding $30 for the son of Secre- tary to $10 for the sturdy looking Addison and $7 for Alias. Auditor wasnotupto a hard race, and Addison, skillfully piloted by Nelson, got away with the race in straizht heatsin 2:19—2 114. Audi- tor, who was driven by *“Jimmy” Sullivan after the first heat on account of the ill- ness of Mr. Edge, earned second money by finishing second in two heats. The 2:27 pace was somewhat tame. Bastina, driven by hisowner, M. M. John- son, brought $10 in the auction pools, with the entire field, consisting of Prince H, Butch, Rex Alto and Munyon, bringing but $10. Bastina held a lead of a few sec- onds and finished before the field in straight heats. Time, 2:19—2:19 1 Prince H, driven to the best advantage by F. Haney, took second money. Six accepted the weights in the mile handicap. Rebellion, with 104 pounds up, had a strong following, the big players bidding $25 for him, with Miss Pollard bringing $11and the field $10. Shepard either intentionally or unintentionally yanked Miss Pollard up at the start ana she was left. At any rate the rigt sort of coin did not go in on Burlingame’s mare. Trix evidently was the only one trying outside of the favorite, and she headed the field to the stretch. Here Martin, on the first choice, by some judicious riding over- hauled the outsider, and, in a drive, won by three parts of a length from Favory, who, after running a strong half, fell back and then came strong again at the finish.

STOCKTON, CaL., Sept. 24.—During the forenoon and afternoon the balance of the awards made to the dogs entered in the Steckton Bench Show were made by J. Otis Fellows, the judge. To-night the space allotted to the bench show in the pavilion was so crowded that there was hardly room for the spectators to move about in the aisles, The judging ceased to-day, but the show will continue until Szturday night, and will probably draw a larger crowd every night. It is the most successful affair ever undertaken in the pavilion by the fair directors. * It has drawn people to the big | Washin building who never thought of going there before.

The quarter-mile race for boys under 15 years was won by Sam Francovich in :31. The quarter-mile championship was given Martin Simas, the judges ruling that Kelly of Carson, who came in first, for- feited the race by looking back.

NEVADA, CaL, Sept. 24.—To-day’s at- tendance at the fair grounds was the largest of the meeting so far, having in- creased each day since the rocing began. The weather has modérated, and there is now every promise of large crowds to-mor- row and Saturday. Pool-selling was lively this afternoon, showing that much inter- est was taken in the events. The speed contests resulted as follows: The mining superintendents’ race, two in three, owners to drive, was won by W. H. Gaffett’s Melrose, second and third money divided between Oscar and Sorrel Charley. Time, 2:4134. Running race, five-righths of a mile and repeat, was won by Rose Clark, San Tuza second. Time, 1:03.

THE BOYS CLEAN SCORE Several Crack Players of Both Teams Reported on the * Repair List. LIVELY INTEREST OF CC-EDS Features of the Game—Kickers and Punters Entitled te Honorabie Mention. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Sept. 24.—The first football game of this season between rival classes was played to-day between the freshman eleven and the juniors. Tt ended 6—0 in favor of the ireshmen. Unfortunately several of the best players of both teams were on the “repair list,” having been laid up at recent practice games, or being in such poor condition that they were unequal to their usual good game. Madden, James, Soper and Beawright were all playing with bruises and strains more or less severe. Great interest was taken in the game, it being the first opportunity for judging of the strength of the freshmen as a team, and it being the first game of the season among the class teams. A large number of spectators were out to witness the play, fully 500 students being on hand when time was called. A large number of these were co-eds, who are tak- ing an unusual interest in the game this year and are regular attendants on the side-lines. Partisans of both classes were on hand in noisy numbers, and the rival yells of the classes kept the crowds ex- cited even when the play was uninterest- ing. &'he teams lined up at 4 o’clock as fol- lows: '98 team. Positions. 00 team. ‘Quarterback... Murphy (capt.) R—Half—L. Diggler ~—Half—R. . Brown il back. anagan Substitutes, "98 team—Swali Substitutes, '00 team—Burnett. Bidwel:, Nourse, Ferris and Chandler. The juniors took the hall first, and Carle kicked for 40 yards. Diggler got the ball and plunged down the field for | 20 yards before being downed. Rusk bucked for 10 yards, and the freshmen cheered themselves hoarse. Lanagan kicked for 35 yards and the freshmen got the ball, but immediately lost it. The first try of the juniors resulted in no guin., Then Dole made 6 yards and the freshmen got the bail on a fumble. Lanagan kicked for 30 yards. Burtin stopped Dole from making any gain, but immediately after Dole made a 6-yard end run. Fisher bucked for 3 yards, and Fickert made no gain, being tackled by Balentine. Dole struck the line for 3 yards, ana Carle hit right tackle for 6 yards more, which Fisher soon made 10. Carle, Fisner and Fickert each made short gains, and 1900 got possession of the pig- skin. Lanagan immediately punted for 36 yards and ’98 took the ball, but lost20 yards on a bad pass to Dole, who fumbled. Dole tried anotner kick and made 15 yards, | Fickert falling on the ball. Dole kicked | again and Cuthbertson made a long run to the '98's five-yard line before being tackled. A buck by 1900 followed with no gain. The ball was then passed to Diggler, who made a fine end run with Murphy’s interference, and a touch down was re- corded. Murphy kicked the goal. Score, 6—0 in favor of the freshmen. The ball was taken back to the center of the fieid and Carle kicked off for thirty ards. Balentine got the baliand brought t back 12 yards, nagan punted for 40 yards'and Dole rau it back 10 yards. Dole, Fisher, Carle and Fickert made an aggregate of 15 yards by bucking and the first half ended. In the second 1900 took the ball and Mumhi') opened up with a long punt, which Dole returned. The freshmen made no gain by bucking, but Diggler’s run and Lanagan’s punts kept the bail in ’98's ter- ritory throughout the half. Diggler and Murphy especially distin- guished themselves by long-end 1uns. The game ended with the ball on’98’s ten-yard line. The features of the game were Cuthbert- son’s strong showing a.ainst Fickert, whom every one expected to see walk through the freshman line; but his doughty little opponent showed he had no end of grit and understood his position. Lanagan punted in fine siyie for the freshmen and Rusk, at tackle, at times had things his own way with Harrington, who, however, is not a tackle, but a guard, and was comparatively new to nis position. 3 38].)016 and Fisher did the best work for WINS BY IWO FEET. Tom Cooper Defeats Johnson in a Match . Wheel Race. WAVERLY, N. J., Bept. 24.—By the narrow margin of two feet, but in slow time for champions, Tom Cooper to-day defeated the renowned “Johnnie” Johnson in a match race at the Quill Cycle Club’s meet. Fine weather made it possible for a large crowd to be present, and the Detroit wonder was warmly applauded for his victory.

An_Enterprising San Jose Firm Secures a Monopoly and Is Doing a Thriv- ing Busine MONTEREY, Car., BSept. 24.— The schooner Bessie K., Captain Andersen, took 118 tons of tanbark from Notley Bros.' landing, a cove about thirty-eight miles down the coast from here, to Alyiso. The bark.was consigned to Notley Bros., San Jose. This last shipment completes an order of 500 tons, part of which was shipped by rail from this place. This firm commenced operations in this locality in the summer of Jast year as a venture and cleaned out in four months’ time about 1200 cords of wood, from which they peeled the bark. The bark had to be hauled by six-horse teams for forty miles over the roughest road in the State up thé coast to this place, where it was shipped by rail to San Francisco and San Jose. Finding ready sale for the bark, how- ever, Notley Bros. increased their forces this year and moved farther back in the mountains, where the bark was more plentiful. This year they have already cut about 3000 cords and will continue working for several months yet, having found a landing-place about due west from the scene of operations where small schooners could anchor and take on car- goes safely, which materially assisted them in shipping. The country in which the choppers are now at work is altogether inaccessible to teams, and ail provisions have to be carried in and all bark has to be brought out on pack mules. The bark when brought to the summit of the mountain is bundled up and slides down the mountain side in a flume fo the lana- ing on the coast. FATAL LEAP FROM A CAR Mrs. Kate Taber, or Tahey, of San Francisco Meets an Awful Death. Was on Her Way to Butte, Montana, and Is Supposed to Have Be- come Insane. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 24.—General Passenger Agent W. H. Hurlburt last night received a brief dispatch from his agent at Wallula to the effect that an un- known woman, holding a ticket from San Francisco to Butte, Mont., had jumped from a tourist-car on the O. R. and N. Railway while the train was in motion, near Wallula, and received injuries from which she shortly afterdied. The act was either a suicidal one, or committed while the woman was laboring under an insane spell. - The information telegraphed to Mr. Huriburt was of the most meager kind, with nothing in the way of description from which to identify the unfortunate woman, beyond her own signatuze to her ticket, which is not very clear, and reads either **Mrs. Kate Taber” or “Mrs. Kate Tahey.” The woman wason the train that left Portland at 7 o'clock ‘T'uesday evening, and she jumped from the train about 2 o'clock yesterday morning. When the train backed up to where she lay she was found unconscious, with her face badly bruised and one arm broken. She was placed on the train and taken to Wallula, and left there for medical attention. She never recovered consciousness, and died shortly after, leaving the mystery as to her identity or cause for the fatal leap deeper than ever. S FRESNO FIREBUGS QUAKREL. Conversation Overheard by a Lady Con- sidered of Great Importance. FRESNO. CaL, Sept. 24.—Mrs. John W. Lambert, whose husband was acquitted of a charge of murder yesterday, stood about 11 o’clock last night in her front yard and overheard the conversation of two men, one of whom was threatening to inform the autherities on some one who had been the cause of the fires which destroyed the Baptist and Presbyterian churches in this city within the past few weeks. The other fellow was trying to dissuade him from carrying out his threat. The two men were standing under a ‘tree, a short dis- tance from the Lambert house, and they did not see Mrs. Lambert, who was await- ing the return of her husband from up town. Mrs. Lambert thinks that the man who made the threats to inform on some third party was under the influence of liquor, judging from the manner of his conver- sation. He said that this party had wronged him, and that he was ‘‘bound to get even by sending him to the pen.” T. G. Hart, Chiefof the Fire Department, considers Mrs. Lambert's information very yaluable for the reason that he be- lieves it confirms the theory he has held that the destruction of the churches was of incendiary origin. He has been totally unable thus far, however, to obtain any clew as to the guilty party. He hopes io work something out of what Mrs. Lam- bert heard 1ast night. L LEADVILLE'S STRIKE LEADER. Well Enown in Political and Labor Cir- cles on the Coast. SPOKANE, Wash., Seot. 2&.—Ed Boyce, under arrest at Leadville for connection with the mining riots, is president of the Northwest Miners' Union, with head- quarters at Wallace, Idaho. - During the great strikes in the Coeur d’Alene mining camps, several years ago, Boyce wus one of the leaders of the miners’ union, and has been regarded as their head and leader ever since. He has been prominent in politics in that State, and was in control at the late Populist convention at Boise. He has been mentioned’ by some of the laboring men for the Senate, but is not re- zarded as a serious candidate by leading men of Idaho. He is said to have great power in the miners’ unions, and it is even intimated that when he went to Leadville he knew what was going to happen. —_—— MARE IS1,AND CHANGES.

TWO NAMED FOR MAYOR Rogers Declining, Anderson or Dimond Will Be the Choice. ; MANYNAMED FOR SUPERVISORS Cator’s Vigorous Speech Against a Clause Exempting All but Bryanites. . The Populists met in convention at their tent last night and held a meeting that at times approached bedlam. The delegates were angry at being ‘‘turned down’’ by the Raineyites in their efforts for a fusion, and meant to make a straight nomination. A factional fight, however, prevented this, and all that was done was to suggest men for the various offices, on whom the com- mittee of investigation, which meets at noon to-day, will report. Following are the men suggested as can- didates: Mayor—Dr. Jerome A. Anderson and Super- visor Joe Dimond. Supervisors—Twelfth Ward, Adolph Sutro; Eleventh Ward, D. C. Todd, b. H. Baumeister, Jumes E. Britt; Tenth Ward, Tom Howard, F. J. Vester; Ninth Ward, Ter- ence O'Brien, H. Gerken; Eighth Ward, C. D. Cieveland, Frank Malioy; _Seventh, J. A Johnson; Fourth Ward, Po&; Third Ward, J. B. McIntyre; ard, M. E. Kehriein; First Stephen Sanguinetti, Treasurer— Doscher. Surveyor—John C. Bun- ner. * Buperintendent of Streets—James W. Reay, D. A. McDonald. Superior Judges— Frank H. Dunne, Robert Ferral, Horace W. Philbrook. Joseph Leggett, J. C. B. Hebbard. Police Judges—Iames A. Campbell, Charles T. Conlan, Walter Gallagher, William J. Gavigan, George W. Fox, J. A. Spinotti. Taylor Rogers was the first man named for Mayor and was mentioned by Attor- ney Haskell. tion and ended by naming Anderson. The meeting was called to order by a reading of the report of the committee on resolutions by Rogers, chairman. Its vrincipal recommenaations were: That the Board of Supervisors shall, as a Board of Equalization, so correct the assess- ments upon taxable property that the appor- tionment against the banks, millionaires and corporations shall be to its full cash value as directed by the constitution.
