GENTLY careful in closing the door, Other
banks in the city have left their doors open
in similar manner at various times here
| ofore, creating more or less of sensation,
though in reality thief would do better in
a grocery or saloon.
| WANT THE TRAIN ON SUNDAY.-The Gait
| Gazette says There is a movement on
| foot to petition the railroad folks, praying
| that the local train which lays over at this
point every Sunday be run on that day be-
| tween the same points and on the same
| schedule time as on week days. The run
| ming of such a train on Sundays would
prove a great accommodation to the general
public of this section of the State There
are a great many people in Gait, Hicksville,
Elk Grove Franklin and other points along
| the line who would visit Sacramento on
| Sunday if the usual weekday morning and
evening train were run on the Sabbath. The
people south of Gait would be equally ac-
commodated between their respective To-
| calities and the city of Stockton. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Towne will look into
this matter favorably, and that the manage
ment will acquieSce in a general request of
the public of the communities Of Lodi,
Woodbridge, Gait, Elk Grove and other
| towns on the road. and that we will have
Sunday morning and evening train on the
Western Division of the Southern Pacific
in the near future. The running of such a
train will be to the companys interest and
prove remunerative scheme. While we
admit the railroad people know their own
business best, yet we consider this hint not
out of place"
FooT-RAcING.-Two foot-races came off
at Agricultural Park yesterday. The first
! was 100 yards between Frank Eldred and
David Jackson. and was won by the latter
They are both Sacramentans, very speedy,
and large amount of money was wagered
on the result. The second race was be-
tween two professionals, Stone and Lewis,
sixty yards, for $500 side. Arthur Miller
was stakeholder and referee. A large
amount of money was bet upon the race,
the Sacramento boys backing Stone Every
bet they offered was taken by San Francis
co sports, who were backing Lewis. The
latter won, and the Sacramento boys are
out between three and four thousand dol
lars. The reason the Sacramentans fell so
heavily is because they thought they were
on the inside" and were betting on dead
thing. Lewis promised them to /" throw
the race" but instead of doing that he went
in with the San Franciscans and downed
at the hands of those he had duped, kept
on running after he won the race, leaped
over the fence and disappeared, and the en-
ragged boys up to a late hour last night had
not found him. This was more disas
trous job than the one played Oh Sacrament
tans at Hawk Corners some twoyears ago.

his subject. He claims that it means in
English g Vigorous, free, joyous, dev0ut.'
The church was well filled, German citi-
zens having been especially invited He
spoke in the highest terms of the Turner
Society, of its founder, objects, etc, but
deprecated the Sunday celebrations of the
Turn-BeZirk. He said he saw an apparent
