BREEZE AMONG THE HoRsEnES.

From the Sacramento Union OF yesterday
At the Union Park Course yesterday
afternoon. ut the conclusion Of the
third heat, when Doble drove up in
front of the judges stand, lie exclaimed
excitedly: 1.-The -" refer

ought to DO ruled off the track for
ever; he III over my horses leg"
Jackman, one of the owners of the
mare, arrived just then, and hearing
the tone Of Doble's remarks, stepped
up to Eoff, who had just driven up aud
dismounted, and accused or Unlimited
he had been guilty of foul driving,
saying that he would not dare repeat
1t with Hickok. Eotf denied the charge
of driving foul. and suggested that lie
would hit Jacknan's nose. The latter
told him to proceed if no thought he
had better, aud Eof did strike him
lightly. Jackman responded as well
rs he could for the crowd. but NIL roll
flict WAS ended by officer Harvey, who
separated the men and put Eoff under
arrest. The latter subsequently gave
y deposit Of $50 for his appearance i'll
court. Afterwards, he used such vio-
lent language toward the police aud

he WAS so excited. arrested and took
him from the grounds. However,
before they had gone far toward
the station house IN n car

temporarily settled the matter BY Civ
ing another deposit OF $50. saying that
he desired to drive In the pacing race
which had been announced to come of

the end Of the trouble until Judge Gill
mer Is called to look Into the matter.
| Our reporter, In a conversation with
Doble aud friends during the evening,
found them disposed to overlook any
uupleasantncss. Doble stated that
Eolf had cut In ahead of him at the
first turn, before he had any right to
do so, but that after the heat he had
come to him and a~pologized. saying
that it was an accident which he could
not help. In answer to n question
whether the mare had been run over,
Doble stated that Eotf's sulky had
struck his shaft, and that the running
over a horses leg was only an expires

intimate that they had been run into.
He hoped as little would be said rs
possible concerning the matter, rs
everything was now satisfactorily cX-
plalned ; the trouble Eoif had got into
he deemed quite natural under the cir
cumstances, Eof having been cenSured
and tiued by the judges OH the first
heat. then lost the a and probably
considerable money, and had finally
been accused Of foul driving. The
whole Goldsmith party appeared to
take this view Of tho case. and said
they had nothing to complain of.

Ii the race between Occldent and
Goldsmith Maid, ut SACRAMENTO, day
before yesterday, the difficulty in get
ting a start WAS very great. Ten times
the horses attempted to start, once
going clear around the track, aud C Y
eral times rs far rs the half-mile pole.
The difficulty In getting OF appeared
to arise from the fact that the mare
had been trained to 20 st full speed
from the turning to the score, while
the horse had not been so trained, and
he therefore came up two or three
lengths behind. The wear aud tear Of
so many false starts doubtless told
more heavily upon the green colt than
OH the veteran mare. In spite Of these
drawbacks, Occident made the first
half mile in l.07I4. the best time ever
recorded in y mlle-heat race. II was
indeed rather n bold and imprudent
idea thus matching \ comparatively
young, inexperienced colt against an
old veteran racer like that mare, with
her great record Of extraordinary good
time made; yet Occident has proven
himself a wonderful young racer, aud
that he has a bright, triumphant record
yet before him.

OMNIBUS.

The exodus Of almost the entire pop
ulation OF Alsace and Lorraine Is a
strong illustration Of the affection
which Frenchmen have for their OWL
country. 1t teaches a lesson which
should not be forgotten by powerful
governments 1t Is that however easy
1t may be to overrun and conquer u
province, it Is anything but easy to
gain the good will Of the subjugated
inhabitants. Such action on the part
ofthe people Of these districts speak
volumes In proof Of the undying hatred
which Frenchmen have for the Ger
mans, and this fact We understand Is
evidently making a strong impression
on the latter named people. They APP
preciate the situation, and feel conf
dent that ere many years have elapsed
there will be another terrible war be-
tween France and Germany. Both
countries are prudently preparing for
the conflict which Is inevitable. Doubt
less the late consultation Of three En-
perors, in a great measure, was held
for the purpose Of i~ntimidating France,
BY showing au apparent unanimity Of
purpose by these three powerful rulers
to keep the peace of Europe. France
will probably bide her time, and when
she thinks the opportunity has arrived
she will not be slow TO seize it. Ma
tions, like individuals, treasure up
wrongs or humiliations, and nurse
their wrath to keep IL warm, and In
our opinion Frenchmen will never be
satisfied until u French army shall
have entered Berlin. May the great
Ruler OF the Universe avert as long As
possible a war between two such pow
erful nations.
