upon the river from the foot of L street to
| the bend and return, the race to take place
at 7:30 P. NJ. to-day, the wager to be a
French supper for both crews.
/ It was astonishing TO see the number OF
| citizens summoned to serve as jurors in the
| Superior Court who endeavored to get rid
of duty yesterday because of their poor
health necessitating a change Of climate-a
trip to the springs, for instance.
| Boys entered the ranch of William Mel
son, near the Tivoli, last Monday, and, out
more of his finest hop vines. He had not
| =,
and is at loss to know why he should be
| treated in such manner.
Samuel /. Page complained to the police
! that early yesterday morning two men as
! saulted him at the steamer landing, struck
| him in the stomach with a rock, knocking
| him down, and robbed him of 81 90. Sam
uel was too much under the influence"
| to know much about the particulars when
questioned.
The fortune-teller, Lady Helen, who
taken to Chico to respond in Court to n
| charge of obtaining money under false pre-
| lenses, as recently mentioned in the Rec
| ORD UNION, has made a sensation by an
nouncing that she had the names of sixty
of her lady patrons Of that place, and in
| tended to summon them as witnesses when
her case came up for trial.
At Woodland last Sunday the foot race
! between ]. c. Ryan and another person, to
whom he was to give % yards in 100. did
| not take place, owing to the latter's failure
to appear. That the spectators might not
be wholly disappointed, another man was
pitted against Ryan, with % yards advant-
| age, and afterwards the feety racer ran
against bicycle and horse, respectively,
being successful in each contest except the
last, which it is said he could have won
| had he so desired.
a Sacramento saloonist made a friend,
who was going over to Lake Tahoe, promise
| to send him some fish. A day or two ago
n box came by express from the Summit.
C. o. D., which the saloon man supposed
contained some fine trout. He was dis
gusted when he opened it and found the
contents to be an undesirable remnant of
beef. To get even, he sent it to another
saloon man, who in turn sent it TO q third
party, and it is still going around, causing
profanity wherever it appears.
HoRsEMEN CoMING.-It was prophesied
that as soon as the improvements to the
track at Agricultural Park were completed
the horsemen of the State would begin col
Letting here to take advantage of its excel
lence This appears to be the case, many
horses having come here from abroad re-
| Gently, and there are now some very fine
| ones quartered on the grounds The dis
| plays of speed made every morning are we'll
worth seeing. Yesterday Wash Jennings
arrived from below with the celebrated
stallion Abbottsford and an Electioneer
colt. 1t may be suggested, by the way, that.
| the track, now that there are so many
| horses exercising upon it, is not good
place for ladies, or people unused to hand
| ling horses in a tight place, to drive upon
for pleasure during the forenoon.
BARwIcK's REPoRr-The temperature,
wind and weather at u ". yesterday was:
| For Tatoosh, so west and fair; Olympia,
$50, southwest and cloudy; Portland, 670,
north and cloudy Fort Candy, $50, west
and light rain; Roseburg, 600, west and
cloudy; Mendocino, $50, north and cloudy
Red Bluff, 40, south and fair; Sacra-
mento, 10, south and fair; San Francisco.

west and clear; San Diego, 730 west and
clear Salt Lake, $50, southeast and fair:

| $50, southeast and cloudy; North Platte.
! 800, east and fair; Omaha, $50, east and
| fair; YanktOn, 10, northeast and cloudy.
THE FALLEN GRAIN.-The heavy rain of
a few weeks ago knocked down the grain
on the ranch of George Swingle in Yolo
| county, about nine miles west of Sacra-
mento, until it was as level as though
roller had passed over it. The crop is now
being harvested Mr.. Swingle says that the
grain is as fine as one could wish to see,
and not bit widowed or rusted The ex-
| penSe of gathering II will be much larger
| than usual, however, as where a header
usually cuts twenty-five or thirty acres a
| day il is unable, with vigorous working, to
| do better than ten acres under the circum-
stances. The rain caused Mr.. Swingle
quite heavy loss in hay.
| They TAKE THE LAST CENT-Ye yesterday
two gentlemen stepped up to the bar in
| high-toned saloon up town, and bantered
| the proprietor to shake for the drinks
| The challenge was accepted, the dice-box
| produced, and one of the visitors lost.
| After they had all drank, the man who
was 10 pay for the decoctions leaned over
! the bar and in an undertone said to the
proprietor Would you take the last cent
a man has for the drinks?' Yes, sir,"
replied the barkeeper, rather sharply.
! " Then here it is, remarked the customer
as he laid upon the counter copper cent
and walked smilingly away with his friend.
THE ARMY WORM II YoLo,-Hecentlv
army worms appeared in an alfalfa field a
short distance this side of Woodland.
From there they entered the alfalfa fields of
Mr.. Blowers and Dr. Merritt, and then
went down to and followed the tules in a
southaly direction. The worms are now
to be seen by the million on the land near
the old Tule-house where the vegetation is
green, the water that overflowed that sec
ton lately having receded. 1t is hoped
that they will return to the tules, but il is
feared that they will attack Mr.. Swingle' S
vineyard, and the other ranches in the
vicinity.
