The reporter found a crowd Of
the patrons of the turf, consisting
Of a strong delegation of the leadr
ing sports Of the Comstock, to-
gether with q number of young
boys and Piute Indians, who took
considerable delight in the ma
neuvers of the monkeys. Two
o'clock arrived, but Of course there
was no disposition to begin the
races. No race ever came off on
that track as advertised, since the
memory of man. In order to fill
in the time, however, there is gem
orally some sort OF a game started,
which affords the crowd as much
amusement and excitement as the
race itself. This time the hiatus
was filled by an old man with a
trained duck. He began opera
tions by sinking a candle-box in
the ground until the top was about
two inches above the level Of the
earth. In this he placed a duck,
which protruded Its head through
a hole IN the lid.
"Now, gentlemen, three throws
for a quarter, and the Teller who
hits the duck gets half a dollar
A man stepped up to throw, and
being furnished with three light
sticks, each consisting of hall q
broom handle, slammed away at
the birds head. With becoming
modesty the retiring duck with
drew in the c~andle-box, and allow
ed the stick to pass harmlessly over
amid the applause of the crowd,
In a few seconds he popped it up
again with a loud quack Of victory,
and the man let fly his second shot

Pitching Twenty DOLLAR GOId Pieces

While the dispute was in pro-
gress, says a Virginia City paper,
Jim 0rndoff and Joe Stewart set
up a couple of pegs in the ground,
aud began to pitch half dollars. A
crowd gathered about the pegs, and
pitching was so abominably bad
that half a dozen more took ahand
in, by the kind permission of James
and Joseph, who Immediately be-
gan to develop some excellent
pitching, and raked in the pots al
ternately, to the surprise OF about
a dozen men who had entered the
game, under the impression that
they had something soft. All inte-
rest in the race was now lost, and
each pitch was hailed with a shout
of derision or a burst of applause.
The way the two original pitchers
began to gather in a harvest Of sill
yer was a caution.
Finally it was suggested that
they pitch twenty-dollar gold
pieces, and this change Of pro
gramme had a thinning effect on
the pitchers. A number Of solid
men now came to the front, and
gradually a pretty stiff game de-
yeloped, beginning at two dollars
and a half a pitch, and gradually
crawling up to twenty dollars. Only
one pot of this kind, however, was
played. Half a dozen twenties had
been landed within a radius of six
inches Of the peg, when Joe Stew
art, who had retired on his laurels,
was asked if he wanted any of it.
After taking a careful survey Of the
chances, which were desperate, he
drew a twenty from his pocket, and
with a calculating eye, pitched ii
square against the peg. There was
a wild hurrah, and of course Joe
with his proverbial generosity
treated the crowd.

Of the li0's building, made up his mind to build

Joseph Ross for building to cost $3.50. The
plans were made 10y Bernard McGurk, who
claimed 10 be an architect. Finan had PAID
t6Hs, when he found that the work had not
been done according TO contract lie refused
To make the last payment Of sssj.
Ross got certificate from McGurk that
the work had been done TO his satisfaction
and under his direction, aud that Ross was en-
titled To- full payn emf. The contract provided
that II any DISPUTE arose in regard to the true
meaning If the draw ngs aud specihcat ions. II
should he decided 10y the architect, aud his de-
cision should be final. Armed with this certln-
cate, Ross brought a suit for the tse5. Flnan

work had been carclesslv done, and that Ross
had owned as much TO his workmen.
Judge Spaulding instructed the jury that they
