Foor RACE AT YREKA-The Yreka Jour
nal Of Thursday says; The race between
Harris and Dillinor, which was announced
sometime ago, came off on Saturday last, and
was won by Harris, he beating his opponent
some 20 inches in fifty yards. Both men ran
well, and what was most remarkable in the
whole affair, the race was perfectly on the
square and not a throw off race as is gener-
ally the case in this vicinity The friends of
Dillinor appear confident that he could have
beaten Harris, had the distance been 100, in
stead Of so yards.
