EXECUTIVE PARDoNs.-Governor Stone
man yesterday granted the following par
dons: Walter Arrison, who was convicted
of an attempt to commit rape at the Febru-
airy term of the Superior Court of Tehama
county, 1884, and sentenced to five wears
imprisonment in San Quentin. The Board
OF State Prison Directors unanimously rec
commended it, on the ground that the Su-
perlor Judge who sentenced him, and
many respectable citizens of Tehama
county, assert in petition that the testi-
mony upon which Arrison was found
guilty was Of doubtful character, and there
IS grave uncertainty of his guilt Also of
Charles Jones, convicted in the same coun-
ty at the December term of the Superior
Court, 1888, of burglary in the second de-
gree, and sentenced to four years impris-
onment, upon the recommendation of the
Board of Prison Directors. Their reasons
for asking the pardon, briefly stated, are as
follows: He was a boy only ii wears of age
at the time the crime was committed. did
not belong to the criminal class, did not
realize the Importance of his deed, and has
been sufficiently punished
SIR JOHN LESTER HAYES RANcH.-Satur
day afternoon the ranch belonging to Sir
John Kaye, above Knights landing, was
sold by auction. 1t contained 1920 acres,
and brought $500. c. W. Reed, ]. P.
Bullock, DR.. G. H. Jackson and w. C. Cur
lis were the purchasers. Kaye paid So. 900.
four years ago, for this land and has i'm
proved it to the extent of $4,000 with
levees, etc, making the total cost over S114,-
600. In the meantime he has harvested
one crop valued at sos, 900. and another at
$4,000 so that his receipts from the land
sale and crop are over $4,000. This is a
valuable piece of land, and under the man
agement of Sir John Kaye considerable
progress has been made in the wav of re-
clamation. The energetic purchasers will
probably continue the work. 1t is mis-
fortune to the district to lose so stirring a
farmer as Sir John, but he has other land
interest, more valuable and important, that
claims his time, and this is the leading rea-
son why he forced these lands upon the
market, even at loss on first cost
THE LAST RACE-Quite a number of
people were present at Agricultural Park
at 9 A. NJ. yesterday, to witness the conclu-
sion Of the unfinished race between GUY
Wilkes, Arab, Adair, and Manon. Pools
sold quite freely, Arab $25, field SO. The
horses scored several times before the bell
was tapped, and Adair slightly in the lead
The favorite broke several times. behaved
quite badly and fell almost distance be-
hind before the half was reached. The
fight for first place was between Manon and
Gay Wilkes, the latter winning the heat
and race in 219, Manon second, Adair
third, Arab fourth. The latter came home
from the half in 1:0S-a ZIG gait.

A LIBERAL 0FFER.-One of sacramento's
public-spirited citizens has offered to a
member Of the State Board of Sericulture
to donate from ten to twenty acres of land
near Anaheim, Los Angeles county, for
branch institution of the Protestant Orphan
Asylum, and set it out at his own expense
with mulberry trees in such OuanfitV as
may be desired. Being warmly in favor of
the silk industry, he thinks it would give
much suitable employment for the inmates
of such Branch Asylum, and this could be
supplemented by further work at fruit
packing in the neighborhood, which the
little ones could also do, after little train
ing, and thus inculcate habits OF industry
leading to self-help, and in making the
Asylum self-supporting. The Board will
consider the proposition at its next meeting
