Bluff Beacon, of Wednesday:
RED BLUFF JOCKEY CLup-A meeting of
the citizens Of Red Bluff and vicinity will be
held at the Old Court House. on Satuy lay
next, at > o'c 'kp. NJ, for the pose of
forming Jockey Club 50 reads a card in
the advertising columns of the Beacon, this
week, and we hope general response will
be made to the call, for the u}ect is one
that is of great Importance TO some of the in
terests of our county. Mr.. John Clark, the
Superintendent of the building of the track is
an old and experienced hand at the business,
having been the main mover in the e,tab-
lishmcnt of the fart med Tehama Jockey
club and course. Capt. Reed, who is asso-
ciated with him in this NATTER is a thorough
going business man, and under the charge Of
these two gentlemen the track will be iul,ri.
or to none in the State There is material
enough of the very best kind, in this town,
to form a splendid club and fine stock
enough, too, to render n "meeting' Of the
Club, whenever it may occur matter of
great sport and interest. In penuing this
article, and advocating this subject, we are
not influenced by any inimical feeling to-
wards our neighOors OF Tehama They have
their Club and Course; they have obtained
high reputation, which should be, and is, a
matter of pride to the whole county, and We
hope that reputation may be increased. We
however think that Red Bluff may and
should construct these institutions in her
own midst, too; and that without injuring or
infringing on the rights or emoluments of Te.
hama. The races at that place have ever
been Hberally patronized by her citizens,
and we trust that they may he SO in the flu
ture; and when onr Jockey Club is formed
we expect, and will be right glad to see our
neghbors in attendance here.
HEAVY SAMPLERS Ono Of the best things
that has occurred recently, came off in our
District Court last week. 1t appears that Il
firm below sent up several barrels of the Juice
of corn to our friend Rigg, who was then sell
ling goods in Tchama, as a sample, with in
struclions to give said fluid fair trial and if
he liked the article the iirm below promised
to supply him at a reasonable price. A suit
was instituted in the District Court o recover
the price of the liquors sent mp as a sample,
and Rigg was the only witness. lie did not
deny having received the goods as sent, but
testified that it was all consumed 10y friends
and customers of his, who were in the habit
of coming in and taking a nip whenever
they felt like it, lie said it was no unusual
thing for his customers to use up a barrel of
whiskey in a month in this manner. Pretty
heavy Jum0tiug that, but then there is moth
ing like being popular.
