The re- moval wou!d also enable the company to make the tracks at that point much straighter. Mr. Kruttschnitt said that the removal of the building would not only stand to the benefit of the city, but would at the same time insure greater protection to | life.

Secretary Milroy of the Oak!and Race- track Association did not relish the fact that a deputy constable created bim a walking receipt ior bail money which he was required to put up in contempt pro- ceedings. This little inconvenience is but one in- cident in aconfl ct which has broken out between Constable Cronin of OQakland Township and the racetrack officers, Two weeks ago Constable Cronin ar- rested two men in the betting ring who were fighting until they were covered with blood. He waited for some time to see if the track officers would stop the row, and seeing that they did not he at once placed | the men under arrest. | The knowledge that his action would | make public the fact that there had been | trouble at the track caused the officials to do everything in their power to prevent Cronin from exercising his authority, and 10 add to the unpleasantness, a day or ilroy.

A few days | ago Constable Cronin was attempting to ) pass throuzh the gate af the “track as | usual, on account of his bein: au officer, | but he was informed that on no account could he be permitted to go through. He thereupon paid $1 and went in. The next | day this experience was repeated. Yes- | terday Cronin had a warrant to serve ona | man that was in the track. He went to the gate, was refused admission, even after he had made known his business. and when Gatekeeper Detweiler forcibly prevented him from entering Cronin at once placed him under arrest for resisting ;-‘n__omcer and took him to the County | Jeii. | * “These people at the track,"” said Cronin | to-day, “‘have been trying for some time to run things to suit themselves.

Thomas McNaboe, pastor of the church at Mission San Joss, 18 preparing for an elaborate observance of the centen- ary of the founding of the mission upon Holy Trinity Sunday, June 11, 1797. The ceremonies will take place upon Sunday, June 13, 1897. The pastor of the church has for his as- sistant Father Jose Maria Montaner and the latter has, alter great research, com- piled a history of the mission und:r the title “History of the Cradle of tie Ci zation of Alameda County by the Last and Least of the Spanish Paares.” The work has nct yet been published, but will probably be ready before the 13.u of June. Father Montaner, while visiiing an In-| dian village near Pleasanton, diwravered; Felipe Jos> Antonio, who makes the sur- | vrising claim that he was present at the | foundation of the Mission in 1797, and not ouly that, but Feline also declares that he | was then of sufficient age to be at the! head of a family. When questioned, he gave an iniclligible account of the cere- monies at the foundation, and after ex- | amining the record of baptisms Father Montaner is inclined to beileve there is some basis for the old man’s claim. Not a great dea! of the original mission building remains, but there is one pre- cious relic which has been saved, and this is the records of the early mission. It consists of four volumes, bound in sheepskin, with the records of baptisms, births, marriages, deaths and church ex- penses, going clear back to 1797. These old volumes are writien in Spanishin a beautiful, ciear hard. Oue of the volumes conteins the first and best history of the founding of the mission. It filis the first vage and translated reaas as follows: The Mission San Jose was founded at the ex- pense of the Catholic King of Spain, Charles IV—God save him—and by the order of the Marquis of Branciforte, Viceroy and General | Governor of N. £ The San Jose Mission com- menced on Sunday, 11th of June, 1797, the feast of the most Holy Trinity.

He did not know that he was an oflicer, and says that Ciarrage flourished a pistol in his face belcre he went to his bedroom and got his shotgun to protect himself.
