the bills paid all demands passed upon and set
tied. and the club found itself 800 ahead of all
expense, with not an appeal taken and no
rough places to smooth over. The season was
the most gratifying spring racing ever given
here, and all these facts tended to raise the
| enthusiasm Of the club to the boiling point
Ia the excess Of its qualification it voted its

| the generous citizens whose subscriptions
gave back bone to the club before it hung up

| gladness upon the local press, admitting that
| its aid had been invaluable and had con-
| tributed largely to the success of the season.

slider the question Of permanent organization

adjourned until week from next Saturday
to give the committee time to report.

TAKEN N-An Olklaud exchange has
the following regarding swindle perpetrated
in that city on former citizen of this city
A very clever swindle was perpetrated re.
Gently on Max Marcuse, live Oakland spec
ulator. Harry Reyes, late of the Pioneer
Park, offered TO sell Msrcuse barrel of fine
whisky worth $40 for sos. Max sampled
the whisky, and believing it bargain,
bought it. After drawing few drinks, the
faucet refused to give, and on investigating
the barrel was found to contain water. The
swindler had filed two feet of hose with
quart of rare whisky, one end of which hose
was sealed, while the other was attached to |
the faucet inside the barrel. When the liquor |
in the hose gave out, the faucet failed to pour
out its stream. In the meantime Reyes had
left the town. and has not been heard from.
Two warrants await him-one for obtaining
money under false pretenses, and the other
for disposing of fixtures in the Pioneer Park, 4
which are said to belong to the estate of Mi

SHOULD Nor BE ALLOWED. During the
past week there has been no less than half
dozen runaway accidents in this city, where
the occupants of the vehicles have been
young ladies, incompetent drivers. The
teams in each case had been those hired from
livery stables, and the fault ia every instance
has been that the drivers did not know how
to manage or handle the horses. Managers
of livery stables should be cautious in letting
spirited teams to persons who do not know
how to manage them. This item was sug.
gested by the runaway on j street last even
ing. The lives, not only of those in the
runaway team but Of all others travelling the
streets at that time, were endangered.
