Another score in favor of California horse,
was won on Saturday at the Agriculture
Fark races, when the trotting record 70,
| four ear-old stations was lowered two and
a half seconds.
The San Francisco Chronicle, in an article
| on Saturday speaks of the bamboo as +" a
| shade and ornamental tree" Since the
bamboo Is genus of arborescent grasses
taking its nourishment through the pith
like all other grasses, it is slightly out OF
line to speak of it as shade tree
The gamblers who came to the State
Far, and found the Capital City ''cold and
| lnhospitable' towards their vocation, have
most of them gone away disguised, and
| say that the attempt to pursuade the Mayor
to "look the other way" and efforts to
| dodge the authorities, have clearly demon
strated that there isn't a particle of fun
in them
The San Francisco Alta says: at appears
that the late tornado blew down everything
IN the State of Ohio except John Sherman S
! fences. If Sherman's fences are still UP,
its bad for the Alias party, for at
latest accounts from the Ohio campaign
the Senator had the Democracy of that
State safely corralled with a fourteen rail
fence and barbed wire.
A paper has been circulated among the
| business houses to ascertain the expression
concerning a general suspension of bust
ness on Thursday next, to enable all to
attend the fair on that day. This was in
accordance with request of the Directors of
the Agricultural Society, and up to Satur-
day evening only one or two houses had

fore, that the day mentioned will be one of
general outporing to the Park and Pavilion.

The gamesters who attempted to eyade
the nti-gambling laws last week, by play
ing studhorse poker, with the horse left
out, and expected to block the wheels of
the Police Court until after the close of the
fair, if their prosecution was attempted,

number of business men summoned away
from their work, as jurors. The "block-

cordance with their programme, when
Mayor Brown quietly stepped in and had
the complaints for misdemeanor dismissed

charging felony. This transferred the cases
to the realm of the Superior Court, and re-

stud poker players to merely that of
