LAST DAYS RACES.

Another good attendance yesterday, the
closing day of the Carson races Jasper
Babcock, 4 c. Ellis and b. F. Foster were
chosen judges, E. Downer and VIM. S.
Byrne timers, and J. G.. Chesley patrol judge.
The first race was half mile dash, $50
purse, for which there were four starters,
cred Oak, Twilight" Dice Box" and
"Illusion, their position in the race being in
the order above given. This as game a
race as We have ever seen. Under the wire
passed "Red Oak" and "Iluson," nose to
nose, ''Dice Box good second, and "Twi
light" near at hand. 1t was decided, and
very properly, too, dead heat between I'll
out of the race Considerable chatting fol
lowed between the hackers of the two, the
judges deciding that the heat would have to
be run over The hackers of Red Oak en-
tered a protest against the decision.
The next WAS mile and quarter dash
between the Baldwin FLY and the Winters
mare-both Glenarthols-fo a $3.50 purse.
1t was won by the latter by about three
lengths in 2;l44i, which the day and track
considered, was remarkably good race.
Following this came match trotting race,
mile heats, 3 in ), for $500 side, between
Lloyd Hills $. &. "Stonewall Jackson and
d. Circe's b. m. Lady Emma Want Of
time prevents us from giving a detailed re
port Of this race. ''Stone"aiI' wen the first |
heat in 3:05!. Lady Emma" won the sec
ond in 2:50l. The third vas won by :'Stone-
WALL in 2:58. The fourth was won by the !
mare in 2;36i. The fifth heat should have
been given to "Stonewall' on account of the
foul driving of Emma" bat the owner of
the horse waived his right, and the heat was
trotted over. As generally happens in such
cases, the mare won the next heat, aud of
course the race.
Between the fourth and fifth heat of the
trot the tie was run between Red Oak" and
Illusion, the former winning by couple Of
lengths in 40.
Between the principal races several scruh
contests took place. which afforded the crowd
lots Of fun.
Jackson and Singleton C'Oregon Jake')
ran one hundred yard footrace, 800 side,
which was won by Jackson, whereat the Car
son Valley heart throbbed exultingly.

AT THE CARSON RACE TRACK.
SECOND DAY.

SECOND DAY.
Despite the attractions at the Park where
! a military review was being held, and where
| thousands Of people were amusing themselves
in various ways, the attendance at the races
on the Fourth was large. Our local turf pat
rons were out in full force, the outside places
were well represented, and the attendance Of
ladies was large
The youngmen with the horse wheel, where
the turn of the wheel has a good thing
on the per centage, were industriously gather
ing in the half dollars the chuck-a-luck man
was smiling seductively the rouse-et-noii
man was dilating on the beauties of his little
game trio Of negro minstres were respec-
lively picking a banjo, rafting bones and
humping a tambourine, while above all this
din came in the voice of the pool seller with,
" What am | offered for first choice 2 The
whole thing reminded US of the Darby, you
know.
With NJ Caravan, P. A Finnegan and E.
Parkinson as Judges. and Jasper Babcock and
E. Downer as timers, the first heat was called
up. The entries for this were the 5. N.
"Glenarthol Filly," from the Lucky Baldwin
stable, and the b. m. "Twiight," from the
stable of Henry WEIGH. The Baldwin filly
is by "Glenarthol,' her dame Annette,
while ''Twilight" is a handsome, game-hke
mare, sired by "Norfolk,' her dam
Kate Gift, and she is the property of Thee
dore Winters. This was mile and one
eighth dash, purse 500, for three-year olds |
In the pools the Baldwin flly was a decided |
favorite, bringing $50 to SO, and, as fire.
luently happens, the knowing ones received |
severe injuries in the pool box. The Glenar
-hol tilly had the pole, went to the front
1t the start but soon took second a pc
'ition, and never regained the first place in
he race. ''Twilight' was easy winner by
tbout two lengths in 2O4, the Baldwin FLY
coming in under whip and spur.
The second race was a two mile dash $3.50

AT THE OPERA HOUSE ON THE
FOURTH

A company from Virginia City, composed
of two or three professionals, including Geo
Osbourne and wife and George R. Game,
and about the same number of amateurs, ap-
peared in the Carson Opera House for a
matinee on the afternoon of the Fourth, and
light, but the evening performance was well
attended. The play was the three-aet drama
of "The Miners Wife, but better known to
theater-goers as Lost in London" 1t is of
of the emotional class, and affords fair oppor-
tunity for pathetic acting. Job Armboyd'
(Mr. Osbourne) is the leading or star part of
the play, and Mr.. Osbourne played it right
effectively. His Lancashire dialect is excel
lent, and in several of the scenes, especially
the one at the close of the second act, his
playing was thoroughly artistic. Mrs. Os-
bourne played the eccentric dialect of "Tilly
Dragglethrope' with considerable spirit, bub-
bling over with fun when fun was in order,
and she was pathetic when pathos was re-
quired She sang two comic songs in good
style, the second one being in response to a
well deserved encore. Mr. Game as "Giibert |
Featherstone" was a good villain, and made |
the most of an unpopular part The audience,
pretty well tired out from the sight seeing Of |
the day was not in an enthusiastic frame of |
mind, and as whole the performance was
rather coldly received. A dance wound up the
Fourth at the Opera House.

Miss

CHARGED WITH EMBEZzLEMENT - Miss
Fannie Ogden yesterday swore out a warrant
for the arrest of George Washington (colored),
charging him with embezzlement The fact
of the case is, Miss Ogden deputized George
to collect SO due her from gentleman in
Virginia, promising the collector 81 80 for
his trouble George collected SO and turned
over 81 30 to his fair client. She demurred
and wanted the whole amount George re-
fused to pungle, and the result was the COM
plant made before Judge Cary. Rather than
stand trial and be subjected to an unpleasant
cross examination, the defendant compro-
missed the suit by turning over the disputed
s. 30 to Miss Ogden and paying So costs.
Should George have business with women in
the future, he intends to have the terms
stated in black on white.
BALL AT THE PARK-The ball at the park
pavilion on the evening of the Fourth, was a
decidedly pleasant affair. 1t was well atten-
ded. The music was good, and the visitors
both on the grounds and on the floor had
real good time. In place of Chinese lanterns
etc the park was Illuminated by the moon, |
whose refulgent rays were more mellow and |
appropriate for innocent little hirtatiOns than
all the barbaric lights that could be scared up
The party broke up at 1 o'clock Oh the morn
ing Of the 9th. |

THE OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT

/ -
Owing to the many amusements and little
innocent designations incident to the Fourth
of July, there WAS not as great an attendance
at the Opera House last might to witness the

so enthusiastically criticized bv the Vir,jnia

pleasurabe anticipation. to hear the greatly
lauded ANY Sheryin. the soprano. and s.,

nent by the management that Miss 1herwin |

This at once acted ike an ice bath upuu the |

next, although Of minor importance, Was the
absence OF iIr, James Barrows, who left the
company by reason OF his mothers death.
Tue soprano part, " Josephine, was emtrnst-
ed to the hands Of Miss Alice Hunt, mem
Der of the chorus, and not an artistic specially
manager to an APPEAL reporter 1t is the
first time that the young lady essayed that
trying part, having had only two hours train
ing under Professor Pasmore, and in CON
'lderatlon of that fact, the rendition of it
must not be too severely criticized. Her first
appearance on the stage indicated excessive
timdlty and lack OF confidence her voice
wanted volume, and her acting was, to be
charitable, crude but as the operetta pro
crossed she gained courage, and toward the
last acquitted herself better than she prom
lsed IN the first act. Considering all the cir
cumstances under which hi!Ss Hunt took up ,
the part OF the leading lady, she did we'll enough,
yet that did not satisfy an audience who were
so anxious to hear Miss Snerwln. MT. Henry

THE STREETS THROHGED WITH STRANGERS.
The day that is dear to every man, woman
| and child throughout this broad and prosper
ous land, was welcomed at sunrise by salute
from Captain Lords battery, and at sunset,
the departure of the 1881 anniversary of this
greatly favored Republic was accompanied by
a farewell salute. The day opened with high
winds and inpenetra5le clouds Of dust, vet
at the earliest hour the streets were thronged
| with gaily dressed people belonging hereabouts
and elsewhere, choer:uliy hailing the greatest
day in the c3untry's calendar Most of the
pablo and private buildings, and places of
business were nicely decorated with the flag
we all revere, conclusively evidencing the fact
that the right sort Of patriotism still fingers
with us At no former Fourth Of July cele-
bration had there been so many strangers in
this city, all Of whom appeared to enter with
zest into the spirit Of the occasion. The pro
casson formed at the stated time, and the
programme was carried out as published il

the prescribed order.

cut materially into the local busi-
ness of the Railroad and the Coast
Steamship Companies. The New
port continued to give satisfaction,
and her owners enjoyed the good
will Of the people of that section
until the compact for mutual profit
and protection was entered into
between the Railroad and the
Coast Steamship Companies. Then
the latter organization put the
rates of freight down, cut
ting under the low freight
charges of the Newport. Then
came the old, old story, which has
been oft-repeated on this coast, of
patronizng the opposition, no mat
ter what the motive. 1t ended In
the McFaddens being compelled to
retire from the business for want
of custom, unless they accepted
starvation rates. They, conse-
quently, sold the Newport to their
rivals, and retired from the trade.
The freight rates, Of course, went
up Immediately the transfer of the
Newport was effected. If the
farmers and shippers of Anaheim
are at all suffering, 1t is evident
that the McFaddens are not to
blame. TRUTH.

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-03-27

The rise and progress of Santa
Ana, one of the best towns In
the southern part of the county, Is
thus laconically chronicled by the
Herald OF that place:
A few years ago, q lazy, sleepy
sheepherder leaned against the
pickets of his sheep coral, and look.
out from under the broad brim of
his huge sombrero, wondered what
this world was coming to, that
they were building a stage station
right here on the present site of
Santa Ana. Next came the un-
heard of enterprise of building a
blacksmith shop and a house or two.
That herder got scared and moved
his corral. Too much civilization
disturbed him in his quiet life.
Another year brought few settlers
in the valley, and more houses
| were built. Another year brought
hundreds of settlers, and hundreds
of houses were built, not only in
Santa Ana but throughout the vail
ley. That herder moved his corral
again. To-day Santa Ana writes
her name along side of the best
towns in the county and claims no
superior save Los Angeles in the
great valley of the south. That
herder has long since departed for
parts unknown. M
