Yesterdays Races.


Yesterday was the last day of the rae
ing season and some very good sport was
witnessed. A large number of people
were present and much interest was
taken in the races, as indeed has been
through the whole week.
The first race on the boards was q
mile dash for purse Of $3.50; 500 to the
first, 500 to the second and $50 to the
third horse. The entries were Bachelor,
owned by Hill & Greis; st. David,
owned by Machado Bros, and Harry
Rose. owned by L. j. Rose. Bachelor
was favorite in the pools. which sold at
20. IA, l6 and 20, l3 and Z. The horses
got off well together, Harry Rose being
little in the lead. At the half-mile
post st. David had gained ON him and
beat him on the down stretch. crossed
under the wire an arms length ahead,
Bachelor coming cut good third. The
rider of Harry Rose dropped his whip
between the quarter post and the judges
stand, which probably lost him the race.
st. David is thoroughbred owned by
Machado Bros, and won the race in
LAT, which is fast time for this track.
His Spanish hackers were jubilant over
their victory.
The unfinished trot Of Saturday, in
which Bay Jim, Valentine and st. james
were contestants, was declared of. Bay
Jim was withdrawn and first money
given to st. James. second to Valentine
and all pools and bets declared off. A
match race was then trotted between st.
James and Bay Jim, whose right name
is Zero, mile heats, three in i've. It
was won by st. James in three straight
heats, time. 2.37a, 1881 and 2,4o.-San

Expanding Trade.

The new line Of tho southern Pacific
and the Atlantic & Pacific railways via
the Needles. is opening a large number
Of trading points to the merchants of
Los Angeles. The principal points are
Daggett, Lava Beds. Fenner's, Goass,
Needles, blackberry. Aubrey, Ashfork,
KiDgman, Holbrook. Flagstaff, Achlin,
Navajo Springs. Williams, Wingate,
Coolidge, Grants. winslow and Albu-
querque. These are few Of the stations
now open to active trade with Los Ange-
les, but many others on that line will
soon be prominent and profitable as
places for the consumption of Los ApGe.
les products This great line ia steadily
increasing in Importance and will soon
be one of the main arteries of trade for
Southern California. Every day, the
products Of the country arc being sent
out to these various stations for the line
OF road, and for the adjacent country
towns which are increasing In IMPORT
ance. The mining camps and lumber
regions Of this line make a perpetual
market for the fruits and vegetables Of
Southern California. The variety and
extent Of the demand for the -four,
fruit, grain, bacon, lard, vegetables. gro
ceries, dry goods. hardware. boots and
shoes, clothing, tools, candles, oils,
cordage. wines and liquors, is little ap-
preciated by those who do not know
what mining camp and lumber camp
requires. The mining trade Of this city
is growing every day, and should con-
tinue to increase with each returning
year. Ifproper attention is paid to this
trade it will be one Of the largest
branches of the trade Of the city and

Currency Contraction How t
Avoid it and Prevent Panic.


EDITOR HERALD;-Your sentiments IN
favor Of bi-metalic standard will meet
popular favor all over the great western
country from the Pacific Ocean to the
Mississippi. There are 5000, ,OO0,0 900 Of
three per cent. U. s bonds held by Ma
tional Banks, Of which sl7l ,00O,Oo0 are
likely to be called in within three years,
necessitating the calling in Of about
si5S. 600, 900 Of National Bank notes.
The most rabid goldite would hardly
dare contract the currency by SO large
sum, as IL would create a panic that
would shake the nation, but, as you sug-
gsst the coinage of silver dollars would
prevent the crash.
The Government coins only 81. 900. 900
per month Of standard dollars, for which
It can issue silver certificates, which are
in active demand, to take the place Of
National Bank notes. IL Congress will
authorize the Secretary Of the Treasury
to increase the silver coinage monthly to
such an extent rs to meet the amount Of
bank notes called in, there viii be no
contraction aud no panic. Silver certif-
Gates amounting to sl53, 900, 900 win be
eagerly sought for, and the Government
will make. at the present price Of silver,
about $4,000. 900 by the transaction,
and have ne interest to pay on
the certificates. and will save $780,
900. in interest in the course
OF three years. This little item Of
s33, 900. 900 would be very goodly sum
for the government to make in the oper-
alton, and this coinage would just about
keep pace with the production of our
mines after supplying the foreign de-
mand for our silver bullion. This is q
plain business proposition in which all
the people Of California and the silver
producing States and Territories are in
terested The great Western country
is growing SO fast and needs SO much
money at low rate of interest, that
contraction Of the volume of currency
would deeply wound our interests.
Trusting that you and all the other
leading journalists Of the west will con
time strong in the faith Of the old Tom
Benton dollar, am. respectfully,
ANGELENo.

More wealth.
The Contra Costa Gazette says.

The Contra Costa Gdzeffc says:
Some ten years ago the owner OF
tract Of land lying back of the State
University at Berkeley took sample Of
STONE from 1t 10 mineralogist in San
francisco, who, upon inspection, pro-
nounced 1t "pozzuolana," name de-
rived from an Italian city near which
rock is found OF which very strong
and valuable hydraulic cement is made.
Hon. John s. Hittell, the well-known
California author, and scientific inquirer.
ROW in Europe, has lately forwarded
samples of the pozzuolana to Prof.
Hanks, the State Mineralogist, from It.
ally, and on the very day they were re.
ceived, the owner OF the land near the
State University, who had SO long
ago furnished the rock samples found 10
be puzzuolana, called at the Mining
Bureau with fresh samples which were
subjected to analysis and test, proving
their identity with the Italian mineral.
Mr.. Hanks thinks no discovery has been
made for years in the State Of compare.
BILE value. 1t will, he says, prove
substitute for Portland cement at one.
fourth its cost, and for many uses be
superior to it. Laid in this cement, a
building may be rolled down hill even,
he asserts, without more liability Of
breaking apart than would a burglar
proof iron safe. and equally as strong as
iron would be sewers and water pipes
made Of this Inexpensive material.
While rejoicing in the prosperity OF
our neighbors in making this valuable
discovery, We take pleasure in informing
them that similar discovery was made
near San Bernardino last summer, by
Mr.. T. w. Cover, and full account
published in the HERALD at that time.
When arrangements are completed for
roasting and grinding the puzzuolana at
Cotton. we shall be prepared to decide
which is the best, the Portland. Contra
Costa OF Cotton cement. 1t will trouble
any county in California to produce any
mineral that are not found in the three
Southern counties Of the State.
