Looking over the entries to the Blood
Horse Ass cations races, Sacramentans
feel that they did not lose much by the
failure of the Association to hold its meet
ing here this fall. Very few of the horses
that were engaged in the East this season
are entered. The amount of money that
was raised for the benefit of the Blood
Horse would guarantee a splendid spring
meeting in this city next year, securing an
abundance of entries, and there would be
no uncertainty as to the weather to inter
fere with the success of the enterprise.
The steamer Modoc, while coming up to
the city yesterday morning, got out of the
channel and grounded at the bend of the

pulled her off. She then managed to come
up to the levee, after tightening portion
of her freight upon the Dana's barge. The
Seller was engaged yesterday in procuring
big trees from the river bank, several miles
down stream, and bringing them no to the
olo shore, about opposite r street. where
they are being deposited as a sort of wing
dam, reaching across deep hole to the
sandbar near the center of the stream. 1t
is not supposed that they will do much
good this season; but are expected to re-
main during the next high water and
gather sand sufficient to form bar, and
thus force all the water into a narrow
channel near the Sacramento shore. pre-
venting interference with navigation there
next year.

whereby his financial accounts with the
company were Strengthened up, had finally
disposed of the matter. 1t appears, how
ever, that Acknowledgement Cosby deemed
the Captains defaulting too serious q mat
ter to be overlooked, and accordingly
warrant was sworn out charging Captain
Spencer with ENLIGHTENMENT, in appropriate
ing to his own use S46S 80 of the company's
funds. The warrant was not served until
last Sunday evening, the defendant having
been absent from Woodland. Sheriff
