LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
TBE RAcEs-FIFrH DAY.
The Largest Crowd and Liveliest
lay sat the Course.


Tho weather yesterday was all that
could be desired for outdoor sports,
consequently the attendance at the FAIR
Grounds was larger than usual Lager
flowed freely, whisky drinking was in.
Obliged in to considerable extent, and,
if taking it straight" is an insalibIe
symptom of Democracy, there was not
corporal's guard of Republican on
the course.
THE FIRST RACE
Was single dash of half mile, for
the Society's premium of $3.50, first
horse $125; second, SIS; third. $50,
free for all horses raised or owned in
Humboldt county. The entries were
Joe. Guthrie's Lucy, Lew Morse's
Greeley, II. w. Sears Jerry aud Ed.
Lyng's Mustang. Greeley won the
race and first money, Mustang second,
Jerry third; time, SO seconds.
THE SECOND RACE
Was quarter dash. for premium of
$500, first horse, 500; second. $75;
third, $25, free for all horses raised or
owned in the county. The entries were
John Bells Old jeff, Joe. Guthrie's
Lucy. Charlie Monroe's Stumbler, l..
II. Morse's Greeley and Ed. Lyng's
Mustang. Race and first money won
by Greeley; Mustang second, Old jeff

THE THIRD RACE
Was for the Society's premium of
$1,000; FIST horse, 5000; second. $3.50,
third, $3.50, two miles aud repeat, free
for all horses on the coast. The entries
were Sweeney's Emma Skaggs. Stuart's
Sooner, Evans Ballot Box. and Mer-
ritt's Doc Weldon. afterwards with
drawn. This race drew large crowd
to the track. The mare was at first the
favorite in the pools, but towards the
last the odds were in favor of Ballot
Box. A put mp job was strongly sus.
pected, though while it was generally
conceded that the mare could beat all
competitors in mile heats, good judges
thought Ballot Box was too much for
her in a :wo-mile race. No difficulty
was experienced 10 starting. Ballot
Box took the lead aud widened the gap
between him and the mare to the three.
quarter pole. Meantime bets were Of.
fered and taken that the mare would
pass the mile-pole ahead. That it was
arranged for her to do so was proved
on the home stretch when Ballet Box
was held up until the mare passed him
and went by the Grand Stand ahead.
The public lost all interest in the race
after this plain showing of an under.
standing between the riders and the
hackers of the horses. The heat was
won by Ballot Box; time 3:53L.
For the second heat the Society
changed riders, but even that act did
not restore confidence in the race. and
though offers of ten to one were made
on Ballot Box. there were no takers.
The heat. race and first money was
won by Ballot Box, Sooner second,
time 3:0S51s.

HELMBoLD's BUCHU. = Tclmbold $
Buchu has long been known as one Of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As diuretic. it is supe,
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton, and the diligence used in the selection
Of the crude material, have made il known
far and wide as reliable and effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success Of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which arc made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration. Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm
bold's only.

The Men Don't Have a Fair snow

From the CHICAGO Times.
There are several institutions In Chicago
foI the support of destitute women. An
other Is about to be started for homeless
girls. While there is furore among the
philanthropic to do something for women,
there seems nowhere any disposition to do
anything for unfortunate men. Ii wo-
man gets ont OF work she has the chance
OF dozen places to go to. whereas if a
nan gets IN the same predieament he is run
10 by one of Hickey policy as a vagrant.
or else he can starve Not only are ali
male kind pledged to the support CT wo-
men, but all philanthropy. This is unjust
toward the male sex 1t hurts creature
wearing beard and bifurcated outer gar
ments to be hungry, or to sleep under a
sidewalk nights, or to be kicked cut of
soHe body's back yard when begging a
meal OF vlctuals, just as'much asst does
creature who has neither of these pecuiari-
ties. It's getting to be unpleasant to
be OF the male species. One of them has
to support the family, and dc. all the heavy
work. He has to go to war, to state prison,
and to be hung. 1t woman falls, he is
universally execrated as a monster and a
william. He pas the grocer and the milli-
ner. He has to endure all the curtain
lectures; and in case of a pending divorce
no matter how little he may be to blame.
he has to put up in the shape of alimo-
ny. Wherever these is bankruptcy it is
man who is the victim. He does all this,
aud yet his value and services receive no
substantial recognition. There is no pleas
ant Old Gentleman's Home, no Home for
Fallen Men, no Christian Association for
the Benefit of Destitute Men; in Short, no
nothing. Ii he gets poor, be may 90 to
the bridewell or the devil, or on tramp.
or fish meal out of swill-buckets, or Skin
mish around free lunch saloons. There's
10 elegantly furnished room for him with
a nice bible in it, and picture of some sheep,
with committees coming around to pray
With him. and see that he gets plenty to
eat aud to wear. Oh, no, not for Joseph;
but there would be, if his name were 10
serhine, and he were not he, but she.
1t is discouraging to be man 10 these
days. 1t the coming generations only knew
how the thing stands, they would be girls,
to man. Either the sex must be obliter-
ated, or else unfortunate men must re-
eeive more attention. They cannot posi-
bly, survive the neglect which they now
suffer.
