CHARACTER OF THE CONTEST
your readers have been made acquainted,

Your readers will know long before this

TOMORROW TOMORROW
Yes, tomorrow will decide the ques-
tions which are disturbing the smooth,
even surface of our body polite. The
Republicans are working with will and
a seeming hope. The Democrats hone
nothing except in fusion. And fusion is
all the talk on the streets. OF course
the leaders and committee men keep
their own counsels.
THE RESULTS,
perhaps will not be such as to make any
great difference to the people as COM
munity, let whichever ticket prevail.
The c. p r. r. will keep on, regardless
OF parties or partisans. The threats that
have been put forward by one of the
Republican papers, to the effect that if
the Tax-Payers' ticket was elected the
Railroad Company would remove their
workshop from this city will not be car
ried into execution unless it be their
manifest interest to do so.
THE COMING STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR,
promises to surpass all that have pre-
ceeded tat least in the stock depart
ment. Accommodation for stock have
been greatly increased. Such are the
preparations going forward that Mr..
Carey, the President of the Society, is
engaged exclusively in the work, and
finds more than his hands can do. The
premium list is both heavy and attrac-
tive. Hotel keepers have enlarged their
accommodations in anticipation of an
unusual crowd Of visitors.
OUR STREETS
present an inviting appearance, especial
" to a sagebrusher. The dust is kept
down upon all the graded streets at the
public expense, and each side of all the
improved streets is lined with shade
trees of vigorous growth. A good time
to visit Sacramento is during the State
Fair, which commences the 10Th inst,
and continues to the Goth. The races,
always an attractive feature of the Fair,
promises to exceed anything that has
preceded it on tais coast.
MEAN TRICK.
Our city does not allow barbarous
amusements on the Sabbath; to avoid
this ordinance, Hibernian and Jew, a
few Sabbaths ago, stepped outside of the
city limits to settle matter Of grievance,
which, it was mutually agreed, should be
conducted according to the time-honored
rules ot the P. R. Preliminaries dis
posed of, each " SHE'D his hat +" and en-
tered for business. The Jew " worked
vigorously the first, the second, the
third and fourth rounds. The Hibernian,
knowing the value Of wind and muscle in
the ending of such contests, husbanded
his resources. The consequences were
that he received considerable degree of
punishment these first four rounds. On
coming to the scratch for the ifth round
it was discovered the jew went slow to
his work-showed signs Of fatigue and
exhaustion, and the Hibernian seemed
fresh and vigorous--it fact it was evident
he was just ready for acting No sooner
did he put in lick or two, than, up went
the sponge. The fight was over; the Jew
was without scratch, but the Hlbernian
went around the streets next day-being
unable to pursue his usual avocation--
with his head done up in lint and band
ages, and his "peepers in mourning. 1t
leaked out afterwards that the Jew meant
to fight Just as long as he could punish
the Irishman and whenever it came to
his turn to throw up the sponge. That's
what call mean trick, Why didn't he
stand up and take his blows-sutfer dis
location OF his jaw, his face to be mashed
into jelly, his eyes punched out and his
teeth sent down into his bread basket
like true man? that's what I'd like to
known.
MURDER TRIALS.
The Celcstials. few months since, IN
dulged in hatchet amusement on the cor
ner of and Third streets. In due time
the Grand Jury found bills of indictment
against two or three of them and our
District Court put All Fat, one OF the
indicted, on trial. The trial lasted three
days. The jury were kept out, " consid,
ering of their verdict one night and
one day, when, failing to agree, they were
discharged. Demanding an immediate
trial, another jury was summoned ana
impaneled and All Fat was again put on
trial and, this time, after nearly SINH
lar length Of trial, the jury agreed on a
verdict OF guilty in the second degree
so reported after they had agreed
and before they could be marched into
the courtroom, one of the Jurors became
prostrated by sickness and, as sherit
Bryte expresses it, was in dying CON
dition before announcement could oe
made to the Court The eleven made
this report and the Court again dis-
charged the panel, and against the pro-
testations of All Fats attorneys remand
ed said All Fat to Jail for another tria''
and so the matter rests now. II. q
