The indications are that at the next session of the Grand Parlor of the Na- | tive Sons of. the Golden West,:to be held in Vallejo in April, a strong effort will be made to defeat Henry S. Martin of Stanford Parlor for the office of grand . treasurer of the organigation. The opposition allege that he was neg- ligent in the matter of the payment of the funds to him by Grand Secretary Lunstedt. Be that as it may, there are candi- dates in'the field to take away from “our Henry” the honors he has held for so many years. One of these, who has iesued a circular to the delegates to the Grand Parlor, is John E. McDougald, City and County Treasurer, a charter member of California Parlor No. 1. He asks support on the grounds that he has been in a .position to know the duties of a treasurer, that he ! has been a member. of California Par- lor for twenty-nine years, and‘that dur- ing that time has been present at the installation of fifty-eight presidents the | parlor has had and has personally con- gratulated each. 1 hd Anether candidate iz H.

The ~betting throughout was slightly in favor of Silver Dick, who was installed an 8 to 10 favorite. Lawrence McCreery, who proved the cleverest gentleman rider of the day, sported the colors of Walter Hobart, red with maltese cross. R. M. Tobin wore the colors of Rudolph Spreckels on Becky, cerise, with green fleur de lis. Silver Dick showed the manners of a perfect gentleman at- the post, being | o Fou as casily handled as a shetland pony. There was one false start and then the two great poniés were sent on their journey. - Dick outbroke Becky at the start and won under restraint by two lengths. After the race Mr. Topin said he did not know it was a start, owing to the confusing orders of the starter, and that he threw Becky out of her stride when he finally got away. Silver Dick nearly met with a reverse | in his next start, over a distance of three-sixteenths of a mile. With F. J. Carolan's chestnut mare Bonnie he| raced out in front of the field of five. All the way through the stretch they ran like a double team. As they ap- proached the wire Mr. McCreery drew his whip and Silver Dick responded gamely. Mr. Carolan ceased his urging ‘of Bonnie just for an'instant, and Dick gained’a nose decision.

She was away well and held her field safe throughout, ‘winning by -two - open lengths from Carlotta. F. J. Caralan’s Fusilladé, the diminu- tive scion of a noble family, made a show of his field in the three-quarter mile race. Ridden by Mr. Carolan, who | was eleven pounds over hjs allotted weight, he won in a commion canter. Lawrence McCreery laid too far out of it with Lotrix in the carly part of the the latter sired Ormonde, the horse of the century.

She was fractious at the post in the sécond race and delayed the start. When Starter Cody finally sent the fleld away, Mr. Clagstone, who-rode Miss Miller, ‘was so tired he could not do her justice. She finished second to Carlotta. In her next start her rider dismounted after -she had fought with him for some time.

The meeting was a brilliant Success in every particular. The track ap- peintments, under the direction of Rob- ert Leighton, the clever racing secre- tary, and clérk”ef thé scales, were a duplicate of those to be seen on any up-to-date metropolitan course. Gen- eral A. W. Barrett, as presiding judge, filled every requirement. Thomas A.
