ON the q. T.. II. II.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA number
of merchants have subscribed for the
purchase Of $3.50 silver trumpet as a
prize to the fastest California yacht in
the race to take place August 18th. The
race is open to all boats in the yacht

showed the cause of death to be con-
gestion of the lungs, therefore no in
quest will be held

near Verdi, last night, is delaying the
overland trains by tho G. p. X. r. 1t is
believed the bridge will be reconstructed
by Sunday, and further delay cease.

A Reduced wheat Yield.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 2. 1t is now
known that the hot north wind of June
did more damage to the wheat than
coull at the time be supposed. Over O
large area the winds caught the grain
still in the milk, and although in many
sections it looked well, it was found
later to be so shriveled as to hardly pay
to cut it. The Secretary OF the State
Board of Agriculture has just issued
figures putting the wheat acreage of the
present year ut 100000 acres. Not.
withstanding the increase OF acreage
over last year, he estimates the crop to
be 20 per cent less than last year. As il
was only 100000 tons, this would
make the present years total crop under
.000, 900 tons. The best grain authori
ties here unhesitatingly pronounce the
Secretary's estimate entirely erroneous
They say he is a notoriously low esti
mater. They admit that the crop will
be probably 20 per cent less than tho
quantity estimated prior to the FIRST Of
June, which was 100000 tons. This
estimate makes the present years
total crop l,2S0,000 tons. Deduetine
for required home consumption, it would
leave $50, 900 tons for export. A careful
examination and comparison substant
ates the correctness of these figures.

SACRAMENTO, Aug, Gov. Stone
