About halfpast one o'clock yesterday
afternoon one Of the teams of the
Woodlawn Dairy almost ran away from
in front of the store of Benson and
Smith on Fort street. Mr.. Brundage,
the driver of the milk wagon, held to
the reins right manfully and succeeded
in holding the " fiery and untamed''
steeds, although they we're kicking over
the traces, until bystanders caught
them and avoided the midday laying
out of a new "milky way"
Major Henry c. Dane will deliver
his third popular lecture this evening
at the Y. M. c. A. Hall. The lecture
will doubtless be literary treat. In
speaking of this lecture the Les Angeies
Express says: "Constantinople, the
Queen of the Levant,, is an interesting
subject, and it was worthily treated
Major Dane is a close observer, and
his opportunities while in Constantine
pie were very great. His descriptions
of the Bosphorus and of the Mosques
and Palaces of the city we're graphic
and delightful in the extreme"
BY letter received from Mr.. w.
Raymond, written to citizen here, we
learn that Mr.. Raymond, who is the
manager Of Raymond's Vacation Elk
cursions has organized four excur-
sions which will visit the Pacific Coast
and the Hawaiian Islands as follows
Excursions will leave Boston Novem-
Der IL, 1885, December 10, 1885,
January ID, 1886, and February, 1886.
The time allowed for each of these
excursions will be about two hundred
days. Several weeks of this period
be spend in San Francisco and vicinity;
the remainder of the time will be spent
in Hawaii and in transit. These ex-
cursions have been materially prom
oted by one of our most worthy citi-
zens.

Yesterday morning about half-past
nine o'clock Portuguese child belong
ng in Fowler's Yard narrowly escaped
Heath on Hotel street opposite Mr..
Ramsey's grocery store. The child
vas running at large ON Hotel street,
where seven-year old youngster should
not have been alone, when a hack
anne suddenly out Of the alley-way
lext to the "Bay Horse" saloon, and,
turning into Hotel street, the horse
the child down and almost
an over it. The hackman could not
,elp knocking the young one down but
he ought to have stopped and seen if it
vas killed or not. This he failed to do
md another hackman picked the
child up and carried it to its home. 1t
vas severely bruised but was not
injured, although it is a
wonder it wasn't killed outright. Some
people ought not to be allowed to raise
children some hackmen ought not to
,e allowed to drive horses and most
children deserve spanking whenever
hey are caught in the street. There
