Before the gullible Mexican lover had been many days in this city he met West and an opportunity offered to double his capital. West knew a footracer named Hennessy, who could step a hundred as fast as he wanted to, but unfortunately was all out, and would consent to run for a small con- sideration. There was dnother “guy" in town laboring under the delusion that he had a fast man and perfectly willing to back him. All that was re- quested of Ruiz was to furnish $500, which entitled him to the privilege of naming his own stakeholder. This looked like easy money to Rom- ulo, and he fell.

Mrs. Welse was seated upstairs when she smelt something burning. On going down to the basement she was almost suffocated by clouds of smoke which is- sued from the doorway.

On her way there Miss Hodes was ac- costed by a woman, who asked her if there had heen a fire at the Weise house. On being told it was so the woman stepped up to a man loitering near and together they walked away talking ear- nestly. When the Fire Department made an in- vestigation footmarks were found in the soft earth of the yard, apparently left by the man who started the fire. Fire Mar- shal Towe thinks the two people who ac- costed Miss Hodes knew a good deal about it, and he is making an effort to apprehend them.

My Dear Mr. Meyer: A few months ago 1 was in Ban Francisco and saw your play and I liked It very much. I would have lked it still better i I had had a seat near the stage. I hope to be in San Francisco about the mid- dle of July and I send you the money for two seats for the evening of July 15. Have them near the stage as pos- sible. I will call for them soon as I arrive. I remain your most attentive and obedient servant, W. ZOLLAR. P. 8.—Here it is very warm. How is it In San Francisco? The money referred to is in the form of eight tiny silver coins, hardly larger in dlameter than an ordinary pencil. The value of each coin is one-fourth real, a real be- ing worth 12% cents Mexicon mon- ey.

Dillon’s clever young dog Dew Drop went through the midweek reserve stake at Union Coursing Park with flying colors. No one looked for the game youngster to | get so far down on the card and in the early morning 15 to 1 was the price quot- ed in the long odds book against his chances. As the stake progressed Dew Drop was put to long and severe tests, but responded gamely. In the deciding round against Controller the winner was glven a hard run and made point for point against his opponent. With the score 6 to ¢ Dew Drop won the course and likewise the stake by getting the kill. The staying qualities exhibited by Dew Drop excited the admiration of the knowing ones and a good future is predicted for the eighteen months old scn of Sly Boy. There nothing In the sire's’ coursing record which has shown such a staying disposi- tion as yesterday's work of Dew Drop. Controller, the runner-up, put up a clever performance and repeated the work of his sister, Bohe, in Wednesday's stake by reaching the same position. E. M. Kellogg's Hummer made a good showing and reached the fourth round, | where she fell before the all-conquering | Dew Drop. Hummer has been laid off | for some time and little was expected of her at her reappearance yesterday. In the first round she beat Erin's Hope, allowing Hope to score but one point to her six. 8She was drawn against Cascade in the next go and the talent thought her long lay-off and Cascade’s recent clever work was too strong a handicap and quoted 5 to 1 against her. She got the flag after a long race, too long for Cascade, who would have won on a shoft bare of an earlier kill.
