II is said that the fostering Bureau has

property, no enterprise, no business and
no morals. They refuse to leave the
city, from either Incidence or fssF. The
tales Of the horrors of Ku-Klux in the

and rung into their ears, have frightened
many, but the love Of lingering in the

primitive manner in which they prepared to
make themselves comfortable for the night,
sn1 some more beral.heArssd than the rest,
proposed that If they had not sufficient
means to go to hotel for the night, they
would tsks up collection for them. When
the man suddenly interrupted them by ask
ing them what day of the month it was 2" he
was told that it was the 9th Of May. he then
remarked, Gentlemen, I'm bleeged, tee ye,

Arrival for nexfer.

A Sacramento dispatch to San Fran
cisco paper dated November %, gives
the following particulars Of the remark
able performance Of Governor Stanford s
trotter: This morning, to crafty sew
eral friends from San Francisco and
elsewhere, Governor Stanford, for the
first time In public, permitted his horse
TO 20 three heats around the Union Park
course. The horse was in good condi-
ton, and made remarkable time, there
being but three.quarters of second diff
ference between the first and third heats,
the usual time intervening between
heats, as allowed, in mile-heat trotting
matches. The first mile was done in
2:lS2; second, 2:l9 third, 2:l9i Not a
skip or break occurred in either heat,
nor was the whip used throughout. The
first quarter OF the second mile was
made in thirty-fve seconds, and the half
mile post passed in the same heat in
l:069 Although the performance can
not be credited officially, there can be
no doubt that it was done as above re-
corded. Many watches were held, and
some gentlemen claim that the first mile
was trotted in 2.l8. d. 0. Mills, and
others of San Francisco, were present,
and, il need be, can vouch for the per-
formance."
