THE EVENING NEWS.

match had been nlaue oetween winters
celebrated horse Norfolk and Judge Bry
ans Lodi. which has been going tn
rounds of the newspapers recently, is in
correct-and upon the authority of Mr.
Winters, we hasten to put the admirers o
horse-racing az fat as to the proposed
match. The arrangement is this: Pro
vided the California State Agriculture
Society will offer purse of three thou
sand dollars to the fastest running horses
then Norfolk and Lodi will enter for the
purse, with an inside stake between
owners of like sum. The race to take
place between the 10th and 18th of May
next-two mile heats, best two IN three.
These two horses are reputed to be the
fastest on American ground-and this tact
should at once cause the Society to offer
the above sum, as the race would doubt
less attract thousands to visit Sacramento
TO witness the great contest of speed be-
tween these celebrated racers.
CHANGE.-Major Gillian, formerly agent
of the Pioneer Stage Co.. has retired from
that position. and Mr.. John Valentine,
Express Clerk of Wells, Fargo s Co.. as
Sumes the place of Agent for the Pioneer
and Fast Freight line. George Crandall
everybody knows George), succeeds Mr.
Valentine in the express department.
Now then to begin, We haven't seen cent
for this notice, and are bound to say what
we choose. We are sorry to part with
our courteous friend Major Gillian, and
wish he may ever prosper, but Valentine
is the prince of good fellows, and we are
willing TO go to Woods Exchange with
him, and look at the magnificent lunch
spread there (no hint my boy) every day.
Crandall IS the right man in the right
place. and in everyway suits everybody
ladies' included-(we are willing to go to
Woods with him also). So take it all
round, we conclude that all is well.
ANOTHER CAvB.-We learned last even
ing that another cave occurred in the
Gould s Curry mine, about four o'clock
in the afternoon. We did not learn the
extent of the cave, but are told that it
drove the workmen out of the mine.
p. S.-Since writing the above, We
learn that the cave in the mine occurred
at the same point as the other, increasing
the size of the hole considerably. When
it occurred, II created considerable alarm
in the neighborhood, many supposing
that it was the shock of an earthquake.
If any more of that sort of thing is to take
place, the people about there would like
20 know it, as they are in the habit of 60
ing 10 bed at night. Those who profess
to be posted say that there is no danger in
such caves, but it appears that the miners
themselves skedaddle when they are ex-
pected. How is II :-FrsiniG Union.
BRIoHrENISG.-The mining prospects
of Nevada are assuming brighter aspect,
and from every district we hear the very
best of news relative to the mines. Old
locations are beginning to pay the hardy
men who endured hardship for the sake
of wealth. While from the Truckec, De-
sert, Austin, Pine Wood and Humboldt
districts, discoveries of rich lodges have
been recently made that demonstrate the
fact that we are yet clad in our swaddhng
clothes of tinsel, that will ere long be
superseded by garment Of silver and
gold. The whole prospect is brighter,
and the sun of hope is shining brightly in
the heavens of our financial prosperity, so
sadly darkened short time since.
Extraordinarily evening, Virginia
Engine Company, No. l, will take ben
eft at Max. Walters Music Hall-being
in need of funds to pay some outstanding
debts. This is one of the best companies
in Virginia, and that fact coupled with
the attractive bill offered-consisting of
the appearance Of the Fillmore Sisters,
Nellie Carpenter, Senorita Maria, Collins,
Quinn. Prescott, Ned Ward, and host Of
volunteer talent-will ensure crowded
house. and plethoric purse to the bene-
fciary.
DEAD.-Most of the old residents Of
Virginia will remember Rube Smith, who
was one of our pioneers, and who resided
here until last season, when he went to
his home in Ohio. We learn from Mr..
Chinn that he died about one month since
at Cincinnati of typhoid fever, and was
buried at the residence of his family, near
that place. Like other men. "Uncle
Rube" had his faults, but all in all, was
a genial, whole-souled fellow.
HOUSE WARNrNe.-Last evening Engine
Co. No. 4, of Virgins, housed their tub

ing, South B street. The ceremonies were
very impressing, and consisted of songs,
