brought to California by Alex Gamble,

The sire of some OF the finest trotsing
horses ever foalcd in the Walla Waila
valley. Among them we recall Mark
Twain, who was lost by the sinking IF
the steamer Pacific, and BellAower who
vas sold in San Francisco by William
GIsssiord for $1,000. There are several
ine colts Of his ia training for the Fall
races that bid fair to equal if they do
not excel, the performances Of Mark
Twain and Beilhower." In the above
statement We concur fully and believe
the old horse increased the tarasle

is one. aud sell separate right. for

The CALIFORNIA. - Thi, steamer
dropped down the beach abreast Of
Jensens bath-house ard ran on the
beach TO clean her bot.om aud shin her
new screw propeller yesterday morn
ing She Is likely 10 remain with us
tour days while engaged in this work.
The reasons why she did not haul on,
on Capt. Hammond's WAYS as pre-
v,ou,ly announced, are these. Captain
hammond has but recently bull. the
ways and had to send East for >he
combination track which is laid on
heavy timbers composing the present
structure. He was telesraphd to in
qnirc IT he could haul out the C.lifor-
ma and returned an affirmative answer,
ssnpposing that the ship would come
here on the upward trip from Portland
as she always has b wy down freight
from Nanaimo. In the mean time he
would ballast his ways with cobble
stone 50 they would sit solid when a
heavy vessel was hauled out. He
'ook the Blakely out in good style aud
give her splendid launch, without
iiiastiug his ways. But when Capt.
Thorn saw the ways. he concluded to
wait till they were ballssted before be
would put new shoe on his ship. We
regret this somewhat for Capt. Ham,
mond has already been at big expense
with his ways. having paid out 1925 in
gold for hawser last week to haul
vessels out without feeting. We are Of
tho belief that the California is too
heavy for the ways in the present con-
dition, but not when Capt. Hammond
has them ballasted according to
his original design. The sooner he does
that, the better for himself and the city.
II docs not cost any more money to hire
thirty men for two days than six men
for ten days He is an enterprising and
industrious man. and we like to see that
style Of men succeed in their andertak-
ings.
