CLOSING SCENES AT THE CATTLE GROUNDS
At half past five o'clock yesterday evening,
there was another trial of equestranship by
the ladies, at the stock ground, on Napoleon
square At that hour President Swezv an
nounced that there would be premium Civ
en- Of $25 for the most graceful rider in sad
die, one of $25 for the most skillful rider in
saddle, and one Of S25 for the most graceful
rider without saddle-the ladies to decide
whether to have ladies or gentlemen for
judges, The ladies expressing no preference,
the following gentlemen were appointed
judges by the Executive Committee: L. c.
Singletary, of Colusi county; VIM. Burk
holder, of Plumas county; G. E. Britain, Of
Sutter county, and a. DeLand, of Suttel
county, and Russ johnson, of Butte county.
The ladies were all to ride the same horse
and lots were drawn to decide the order o
their riding.
First came Miss Lizzie Swain, of Butte
county, mounted on beautiful well trained
but very snowy roam horse, and we coufes.
to having been captivated by her elegant
figure, her pleasing attitudes and graceful
riding. The only difficulty we experienced
in directing our whole attention to this young
ladies riding and observing ali her move
ments, arose from our inability to keep our
eyes from her pretty face. Miss n. II. Cleve
land, of Butte county, then appeared and
rode three times round the course in man
ner which elected great applause from the
immense audience assembled. Lastly came
Miss Emma II. Baker of Marysyille, who
met very hattering reception from the
crowd about the stands, and who was also
loudly cheered at the conclusion of her per-
formance. The horse selected for the dis
play OF skilliul riding, was dashing, fiery
bay, full of mettle, upon which first appeared
Miss Cleveland We feel warranted in say
ing that this last named young lady possesses
all the concomitants which 90 to make up
the daring and skilIful equestrienne. Miss
Swain followed Miss Cleveland, upon the
same spirited bay, and rode him easily and
well. Miss Baker then did herself credit M.
on the same animal, putting him to his speed
and apparently having him pretty well un-
der her control. In coming out at the start
ing point Miss Baker checked her horse very
suddenly, causing him to turn towards an
opening in the crowd in the direction of the
judges stand. Some persons being frighten-
ed, jumped in the way of the horse changing
his course so that he ran against the wheel of
wagon, throwing the young lady over his
head quite violently. The shock caused her
TO faint and it required considerable time to
restore her to consciousness. She was con-
slderably though we trust not very seriously
hurt Much sympathy was manifested in her
behalf particularly by her competitors AS
soon as quiet could be restored the hare.
backed riding took place. Miss CLEVELAND
first rode and seemed as mncb at bomo os
when upon terra trina, followed bv Mis-
SWAN, who was as easy and graceful as nnon
the saddle. The premiums were awarde4 ot
the Pavilion at 81 o'clock, and will he found

The Coast Clear.

We have all along urged upon the RePub
liean party of this State the necessity Of with
drawing their forces from the field and sup
porting the Douglas ticket We could not
see why they should profess such an utter
detestation of the Administration policy to-
wards Kansas and so thorough an approval
of the course of the Anti-Lecompton Democ-
racy in regard to the same question, and yet
go deliberately to work to ensure the tri-
umPh of the Administration party in this
State.
We are glad to see that the candidates, at
least, on the Republican State ticket are be-
coming awake to the extreme folly of throw.
ing the political power of the State into the
hands of the Leeompton party. Mr.. Mur-
doch, the Republican candidate for State
Printer. withdrew, the other day, in favor of
the Douglas candidate, O'Menra, for the
same office, and we have now the withdrawal
of Mr.. Sibley, the Republican candidate for
Congress. in favor of J. C. McKibbn The
withdrawal of other Republican candidates
may also be very confidently expected, ana
the signs of the times indicate a sweeping
triumph for the entire Anti-Lecompton Dem
ocratic State ticket.
Already do the poor Lecomptonites begin
to grow pale. Already do they set up tn cir
doleful howl about "fusion," fusion" where
there is no "fusion," but universal uprising
of the people, in the majesty of their strength,
against the misrule of a corrupt Administra-
ton, and a spontaneous outburst of consum-
ing wrath against the sychophants of power
who would crush out the liberties of the
country, while they liked the dust at the feet
Of the basest traitor to free government
that ever tainted the political atmosphere
with his presence Verify, the doom of this
party is sealed, and they know it.
