The Sunday Morning Fire.

In our hurried report of the fire at 2
O'Clock Sunday morning, we burned
out more stores than the occasion re-
quired, but our readers must charge
our mistake to the Fire Department,
which worked with heroic energy and
saved the little restaurant and the
Main street market. The juicy ten
der-loin steak and the toothsome meal
were served to the patrons ofthese es-
Establishments on Sunday morning, as
usual, though the roofs were badly
burned and the buildings scorched,
front aud rear. All honor to our en-
terprising firemen, who did all that
strength and skill could do to stay the
march Of the flames. .f.5a.t
The losses are estimated as follows:
ID. w. Fitzpatrick, $1,000; Wa Lung,
500; Germain & Matfield, $500; Rutz-
man, 500; the barber shop, S40O.
All Sunday the burned district was
crowded by victims and spectators.
The Chinese cigar-makers, who had
CHclT ilttlc SVOCh SWcpI away WcTc Ou
the ground early, evidently in great
tribulation. Their lmpassive counte-
nances betokened considerable inter-
est, as one of the number, with long
handled shovel, explored the spot
where their peaceful dreams of al
mond-eyed houris were so rudely dis
turbed by the fire fiend. After various
articles of Chinese furniture and dress
had been exhumed, the operator un-
covered the object of his search, which
he seized in triumph. 1t proved to be
silver watch and chain, which had
been lost In the hurry of the fire, but
which had been plucked as a brand
from the burning. 5i su
We are informed that the work of
clearing away the debris will at once
be commenced, and a fine structure
soon be erected on the ground The
situation is valuable one for business
purposes and solid business block
could be made profitable to the owners,
as well as an ornament to the city.

The Turn-Verein.


The Turner's visited Arroyo Seco in
force on Sunday, after parading
through the principal streets carrying
the Turner, American and German
flags, and headed by a band of music
At the picnic grounds dancing and
athletic sports were the programme of
the day, over which Gambrin,Is exer-
cises his royal but generous sway IAN ell
oquent address by Mr.. Isaac Choen was
listened to with great attention. The
dreamy waltz, the physical exercises,
amusemerits were all of an enjoy
able character. The trapeze and hor-
izontal bars shared the attention of the
crowd with target shooting and
"throwing the goose"-a sort of target
practice with pendant weight in the
shape of a goose, with an siron beak.
The ball at Turner Hall was an ele-
CANT wind-np of the days enjoyment.
The German is pre-eminently a man
Of peace, a lover of order and those so-
cial and physical emjoyments which,
while they are of quiet character,
are beneficial to health and comfort.
We have no better citizens than the
Turner's and we wish to see more Of
their temperate enj0yments.

OaRNING STOCKINGS.

A pretty subject you've given TO me,
Yet, dear, tits only an emblem Of thee;
For stocking that's darned or stocking
that's whole
You surely will wear till you reach life's goal.
Yet be careful, my pet, that your Sunday shoe
Shall never be larger than wee number two;
For that medical man whose looks are so
sweet, 81 tef
May brag, as he will, about girls with big fest.
Those Indiana girls may have pretty faces,
Yet he never will dare to speak of their graces; /;
Perhaps he reverses the Chinese plan, =
That the bigger the feet the better the man.
How busy you are this calm afternoon,
The work ynu are doing I'd tire of soon
That tiresome needle, over. under 1t goes,
Until you have finished the lcst pair OF hose.
Do put 1t away, and don't scold all the time,
Because had rather be writing this rhyme
Than flling up holes with needle and
= thread.
Indeed. / am sure I can never be led
To tuke up stocking by any such yarn,
And If it suits you, why Just go and darn.

The attendance yesterday at the Ag-
ricultural Park races was small, be-
cause public opinion had settled 1t
that Don Elipha was to win the race.
At 2:30 O'clock in the afternoon the
race was called, both horses in trim
and looking we'll, and Don Dire w the
pole. The first heat was quite spirited,
Elipha winning in 5:0S4, though
Vaughn made much better show than
was expected.
The pool selling was quite tame, at
about 120 to 20 for Don Elipha, and of
course very little money changed
hands at these figures. Both horses
came up to the second heat looking
well, and many side bets were made
on the time of the first mile, Vaughn's
friends being anxious toretrieve their
losses somewhat. The first mile was
won by Vaughn in 2:34, amidst great
enthusiasm from his hackers, though
Don won the heat in 5:17 h15SNt
This ended the famous twO-mile
race, which was virtually settled by
the one-mile race of Saturday. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 changed hands
during the race, though verylit of
it was on the final result, bnt mostly
made up of side bets of various kinds.
A foet race and scrub running race
were projected, but received the veto
of Mr. Welch, who said they were not
square and Immediately cleared the
track. In doing this he deserves the
thanks of the entire community for
preventing the prostitution of the
track to other than its legitimate pur-
poses. 4 @.ts s63ia1 ! ifiI
To-day's programme is as follows:
Running race; single dash of half
mile between Irene Harding and
Walking John for S300-$2OO to first
and 800 to second. A mile and re-
peat between George A., Johnson, a
PAGER, to harness, and Vaughn, to
wagon, for 500. Half-mile and re-
peat, open to all California horses for
$50. The pools sold at the Fashion
saloon last night two to one in favor
of Walking John, and slightly favora-
BILE to Vaughn. The contest between
Johnson and Vaughn promises to be
an exciting one, and considerable
money has already backed the respect
i've horses. MTssnnF pwE

+. 1t is the duty of every christian to
bring his religion into private, social
life. Not in ostentatious argument,
nor self-asserting doctrines and dog
mas; but by the constant, unpreten-
tive manifestation of kindness and
charity to those around him. Disre-
gard for petty annoyance, self-sacri-
flee for the comfort and convenience of
others, abstaining from those singing
smart of wounded pride. There are
duties, social duties of christians. If
they are neglected, all too quickly is
the omission remarked upon, but
their performance seems to be such a
matter of course that no notice is ia
ken of it. But these very little things
often do more in the right course than
extensive endownments and benefae-
tions.
