SMALL INyEsTMENTs.--Large for

perienced is that people with small
capital are not able 10 command the
amount of stock they desire, and
thus trifling sums which might,
properly invested, lead to- fortune
are squsndered away. But close
study Of this subject has lead to the
adoption of the "put" and "cail''

THE GREAT RACE.

The great race advertised to come
off at the Jerome Speed Park, near
Dayton, between the celebrated mare
Pocohontas and the noted racer
BALD Hornet" did not take place,
much to the disappointment of the
assembled thousands, who bad, know
ing the extraordinary qualities of
the flyers, the large sum at stake, the
certainty that it would he q square
issue of speed and endurance, with
out any put-up job or jockeyipg. had
gathered there from the five adjoin-
ing counties. Both horses. however,
were on the ground at the appointed
time, and all preliminary arrange
mems made; the jockeys in pic
turesque costumes, the trainers and
rubbcrs with bottles of cognae,
buckets of water, soft blankets and
sponges, had taken their stands on
the quarter-stretch The horses were
led up and down the stretch prepsras
tory to starting; fire seemed to flash
from their eyes, and it is even said
that sparks of lightning were seen
playing around the heels of "Poco-
hontas." After considerable scoring
for the advantage, the owners of
Bald Hornet" discovered that pc
culiarity of their horse was manifest
ing itself to such an extent that to
let him run would be to injure him
for life. IL was this: he is power
ful horse, and in ordinary running
makes twenty strides a second and
thirty feet q stride; but if unduly ex-
cited he will at the start make thirty
five strides second and iorty-three
feet stride; and as the track was
hard, such rate of speed, with the
necessary exertion, would drive his
knees up in his body, in which case
he would become bald kangaroo
instead of a. Bald Hornet" SO they
paid the forfeit. The owner of " Pc,
cohontas" allowed his mare to gallon
Al
over the track; but before doing sc
a wet sponge was tied over the riders
nose and mouth, as at her usual rate
OF speed he would certainly lose his
breath, and life would actually leave
his body. Everyone regrets that they
did not run; and it may not be amis'
to state in this connection that Silver
City has little mare, which is will
ing to test speed with either of them
from fifty yards to fifty miles and
repeat.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. II.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. II.
The case of the United States VS..
the Antioch Distillery was again
called in the United States District
Court this afternoon. Agents of
the Central Pacific Railroad at An
tioch and Stockton, the Broadway
wharf delivery clerk, and general
freight agent of the Central Pacific,
were placed on the stand, and ex-
amined concerning the amount OF
shipments of grain to the distillery
and spirits from there.
The Board of Supervisors will be
called upon this evening to take ac-
ton upon the resolution adopted by
the San Francisco Senate delegation
tc establish water rates for the city.
Senator Roach writes to the Mayor
and Board of Supervisors "that the
adoption of proper schedule by
your honorable body would receive
legislative sanction"
