TWO HUNDRED MILE RACE

Tuesdays San Francisco Call gives
the recent two hundred mile race In
San FraucIsco:
On Sunday, the ride of two hundreI
miles ove- the Bay View Park Course
for purse of 81 900 and the champion
medal of California, took place in the
presence of a large number of persons
The riders we're William Walsh aud
Mel Mowry, both of whom have madr
some most astonishing rides, and
claimed the championship. Each man
had twenty horses, with a reserve at
FIVE, which were TO be called into
r-quisition only In case anything should
happen to any one of the twenty. The
ride commenced at ten O'Clock =. M g.
and during the first two bonrs the pros.

aad his animals appeared 10 have more
speed than those of his Antagonist. Mr
Mowry, however, was strategetic; he
broush, out his poor animals first, and
reserved his best for the final contest.
He, too, was q graceful rider, sitting h

was about even, aud very light, a those
present thought it too early TO calG ul-te
the chances with any degree of GER

white changing horses, Walsh fell, in
juring himself slightly, and causing a
delay of about two inmates, during
which time Mowry rode nearly a mile
and closed the gap that had been made
Nothing particular occurred during
the three or four hours following. At
this time Walsh was considerably ahead,
and his friends felt certain that he
would win with ease. During the lat
ter part of The ride, however, Mowry
used his best horses, aud rapidly
bridged the distance between his an
tagonist and himself, and came in on
the home stretch nearly mile ahead,
making the entire two hundred miles in
eight bours, fifty eight minutes and
forty FIVE seconds, beating Walsh one
minute and thirty seconds. The best
single mile was made by Walsh, in two
minutes and ten seconds. We under

A common way to drug liquor is to put
snuff in it, and the person who drinks II

There can be but little doubt in regard
to the nature of the crime committed.
