HExESwAY PRorssrs.-J. W. Hsmen-

way, of Virginia, n Of the principals
in the rccen. fall races at Carson, comes
out in this mornings Appeal With a
lengthy and earnest protest against the
rulings of the judges in the t%rotting
race Of Saturday, as unfair, and lacking
the spirit aud letter of the rules govern
ing the Jockey Climb. He considers that
his horse was beaten through very I'M
fair means and q resort to j~ockeying
trickery, saying: az protest against the
open and scandalous injustice OF this
decision, because l am unwilling to ae-
knowledge that horse racing is a mere
short card performance, aud that the
mean and nasty tricks of the trade are
what are to govern the motives of gen
tlemen who now and then, for pastime,
resort to the sports Of the turf
In appealing to the Jockey Club for
justice, Hemenway goes on to say:
appeal to this tribunal in'desd ear
nestne,s for square dealing; and from
n conviction that the interests OF the
turf demand that %hsnceforth we should
exempt ourselves from the pettitoggery
and technical honesty Of horse racing.
Finally /: If my horse won the first heat
when, as by the decision Of the judges
she { broke where is the reason, judg-
ment or honesty which can award the
next beat to Mr.. Guilds Horse when, as all
know, who know anything about il,
that he went upon a run from the score
10 the half mile polo and that, a. the same
time. Johnson was driving the Wilson
horso upon n run for the evident purpose
of making nv horse break. Now,
~ our ~symps,hies are always with the
"under dog in the fgLt,' we forthwith
take up on the side OF Hemenway, and
call for fair play Immediately, and no
nonsense.

RoBsEp AFTER DEArH.-The Oakland
Transcript says that a few minutes after
the recent terrible railroad accident at
SIMPSONS Station, the body OF Judge
Baldwin was robbed of two diamond
pins and n sum OF money. Capt. Tar
bet. was informed Of the circumstances,
and he has taken grsa; pains to ferret
GU, the miserable thief. The police ar.
rested a man q few days since, supposed
TO be the e~ulprit. The evidence is en-
tirsly circums,antial, though quite con-
rincing. and the prisoner, whose name
is John P. Wallace, had a hearing before
the Police Coust yesterday, on a charge
Of grand larceny. AS all the witnesses
were not present, the preliminary exam
~iuation was postponed until next Tues
day, the 3Oth instant. II Wallace is in
nocsnt, be is very unfortunate in thus
falling under suspicion, but il guilty,
there is hardly any punishment too Sc
we're for SO low aud das:ardly a thief.
LET UP, DANIEL Daniel, the false
prophet Of the Enterprise, was reckless
enough to again assert this morning
that the present storm was no great
shakes aud would not last long, as the
sun was out, and it was about to clear
off for a few weeks. We feel convinced
from that that the storm is just COM
mencins. For heavens sake, you old
forecastls weather prophet, just turn
round and swear that n terrific storm 10
about 10 burst upon this section; then
it will clear up, sure. The Gold Hill
pigs still have their tails rigidly pointed
due east.
EXCURSION PiRrr.-The Carson Ap-
peal Of yesterday morniug says: This
city was visited yesterday by a party Of
gentlemen consisting Of D. D. Mills, Of
California, Mes,rs. Sharon, Trit!s, Gill
lig, Requa, and others, who came from
Virginia City over the railroad which
now connects the said city with our own
town. The train which brought these
gentlemen was, 10 fact, the irst pssseD-
re. train which has passed over the
road. So the completion Of the Virginia
cud Truckec Railroad is a fixed fact
