PACIFIC COAST

SAN Francisco, Feb. 22.-There
was fair attendance at Bay Dis
trict Park to-day, to witness the four
mile-and-repeat race. Although the
weather was .unpropitions. the sky
heavily clouded, with occasional
slight sprinkles of rain all the morn
Ing, by 1:30 P. NJ. about l 800 people
assembled at the park, and by the
time the horses startcd--at 2:47 p NJ.
there were probably 5000 people
on the ground and twice as many
more covering eminences in the
vicinity. The track was in good
condition for four mile heats, and
the horses that started were all in
fine order. Matte A. and Sherman
were both Withdrawn on account of
lameness, only Bazaar. Lady Aman-
da, Bradley, Bigham and Mollie
McCarty starting, drawing positions
in order above named. NIollie was
favorite in pools at 500 to $40 for
Bazaar, SIS for Amanda and 50 for
field. First heat Horses got off we'll
together, Bradley slightly in the
rear, but before reaching half mile
he had taken the lead, Amanda push
ing him closely, and the others
punched about a length behind. On
the home stretch Bigham obtained
second position, Amanda third and
Mollie fourth, in which order they
finished the mile in 1:57A. This
position was maintained in the Sec
ond mile until just before crossing
the score, when Bigham ranged
alongside Bradley. Time, 3:54A.
Bradley, however, soon regained the
lead and held it until they entered
the home stretch, when Mollie came
to the front, going under in 5:49A,
Bradley I'd, Amanda and Bigham
neck and neck, and Bazaar behind
as he had been throughout the heat.
On the fourth mile the latter horse
showed his bottom, and ranging
ahead of Bigham and Amanda took
Sd position, while the latter, who
had evidently made her run, drop
ped to the rear. In this order they
went round and finished the heat,
Mollie winner in 7:434, Bradley
Cd, Bazaar Sd, Bigham 4th, Amanda
distanced.
Between heats pools we're livelier,
Mollie being favorite at $500 against
$50 on Eazar and SIS on the field.
At 1886 the horses started for second
heat, Bazaar leading, with Bradley at
his hip, Mollie and Bigham behind.
Before reaching the half mile stake,
Bradley took the lead, Mollie second
and Bazar third. For the first two
miles (time 1:59 and 3:53,) they did
not vary these relative positions but
bingham kept dropping hopelessly
behind. On the third mile. going
around the first turn, Mollie forged
ahead and Bazaar also passed Bradley
the three miles being done in 5:45A
without any change of position. In
the fourth mile, Mollie frolicked on
ahead with beaded neck and won at
her ease in 7.42H. Bazar about two
lengths behind, with both Bradley
and Bigham distanced. Mollie was
awarded first, third and fourth mon
ey. Bazaar second. 1t was evidently
q fair race, and the best horse won.

Near ono Of the pretty villages with which

daughter OF loving and too well loved parents.

who had graduated from college with honor,
and was respected by all who knew him, not.

moral character that we're told OF his life
while absent at college. When and where
Frank first met Lssotte is not pertinent to
the story. But Lissettes mother heard the
stories against Frank, and she conceived
great antipathy against him, so mach SO as
to forbid him the house, and finally to bid
her daughter cease all intercourse with him.
But up to this time the mothers Injunction
had been disregarded. The lovers met
whenever opportunity offered, aud had the
parents lived the pair would doubtless have
been happily married. But fate ordained
otherwise. The mother sickened and when
on her death.bed laid her dying injunction
upon her daughter to discard Frank alto.

little dreaming Of the cruel blow that awaited

the CIR! he loved, hoping 10y his presence to
soften her sorrow. The mother was laid in
her grave and as the pair walked from the
new-made mound to the cemctry gates, where
the carriages awaited them, Lsette told him
OF her mothers dying commands and Of her
intention Of obeying them, There was no
time to soften the blow by further explaua-
ton, aud at the cemetry gate they parted
never to meet again in life. A year passed
away, and in that time Lissette, from I

messenger (Lisette's brother) carried mes

messages were carried to aud fro before the
end came. Lissctte died, and with her las
breath told her brother to carry the tiding
to Frank aud tell him she would wait hi

tidings of her death snapped the slight cord
that yet bound Frank to life. In these two
homes, four miles apart, two forms were at

table life, any moist substance, a cut apple
or tomato, dish Of paste or pot Of jam con.
shutting the proper soil for the growth Of
these organisms. The result is fermentation
and putrefaction. Professor Tyniqll afiirms
that if beef tea, properly boiled and filtered,
is exposed 10 a number of vessels to the per-

For several years the following recipes
for preserving meat have been used with en-.
tire satisfaction, and have at the same time
been found very convenient
SAUsAoE.-For 80 pounds Of meat use
eight ounces inc salt, two and one.half oun-
ces pepper, two tcacups sage, and one and
half cups summer savory.
BAcoN.-FOr 100 pounds meat use eight
pounds salt, two ounces salt pctro, two pounds
brown sugar, two ounces saleratus, and wa
ter enough to cover the meat closely packed.
BEEF.--For 100 pounds beef take four
quarts fine salt, four pounds brown sugar,
and four ounces salt petre Mix all TO-
gether pack the meat thoroughly, leaving
no spaces between the pieces, aud sprinkle
the mixture between the layers. Add no
water the juices of the meat will make brine
enough. Care should be used not to disturb
the pieces faster than they are wanted.
