I find Sacramento In the same place
I left 1t a week since, with no remark
able Incident to chronicle, except the
wonderful fast time made at the pacing
race. l expect the past week has been
quite interesting to the lovers OF
amusement, as they have had the finest
theatrical performance that has hon-
ored this place for a long time. The
M.jlltons and their wonderful per-
formance, together with the magical
beauty Of the scenery, has completely
overcome the apathy of the people Of
even this sleepy burg, and they have
crowded the house every night. Lolita
will be here this week, but l doubt II
she Is quite rs successful.

Tho Spring races here were not as
largely attended as was expected,
although they we're well worth 1t, par
ticularly the pacing race, when Long
fellow won fresh iaurels for himself
and money for his hackers, making
some Of the best time on record-one
heat In 2:l91f, and no could have done
It In ALI. The wonderful durability,
as we'll rs the remarkable time, of all
the horses, surprised every one, and Is
the subject Of general comment.
The Weather
Has been delightful all the week, but
we are constantly expecting a repeti-
ton Of some Of those 9Sa days again.

The great topic Of tho day here has
been the Jones aud Sharon bombshell.
Everything else sank into inslgnif-
canoe when that was mentioned. But
what here was a stiff breeze, In San
Francisco was a perfect tornado. Men
stood nghast, with blanched faces,
trembling limbs, and eyes wildly star
ing, and the first exclamation was :
My God! where will this end? The

take a turn I would try and weather 1t,
but dare not chance It," So out they
went, at anything they could got.
Some were sold out, and others re-
ported delinquent, but all who could
not hold found the same port. l hear
that Jones and Hayward sustained
their friends, but the poor outsider
who was gambling on his own judy
ment had to fight his own battle, aud
stand or fall as best he could.

While In San Francisco I met many
old Virginia and Gold Hill friends,
looking healthy and happy, notwith-
standing the crash, for they believed 1t
would all come out right. Among
them were E. Patten aud lady, DR..
Cornwall, Mr.. Deal and Mr.. Jones and
family, who are stopping at tho Occi-
dental. On the street one meets some
of them every five minutes. l saw
also j. W. Mackay, Col. Avery, Mr..
Hobart, Hawxhurst, Chas. Forman,
Phil. Smith, Pat. Mulcahy, and others
I do not now remember. In truth, l
thought there could not be many left
In tho land Of Jones and Sharon.
