1861 and did much towards inviting i'm
migration to the State
To all old Californians and newspaper
men the name of Mr.. Kemble is familiar,
and his memory is warmly cherished by
them One of the editors of the RECORD
UNION now uses upon his desk letter-clip
upon which Mr.. Kemble wrote for the
Union twenty-eight years ago, and which
bears Mr.. kemble's bold and graceful auto
graph.
The lateness of the hour at which the
news of Mr.. Kemble's death was received

CAPITAL TURF CLUB. = An adjourned
meeting of this organization was held at
the Golden Eagle Hotel last evening, a
large number being present. The commit
tee appointed at last Saturday evenings
meeting to canvass for members, reported
very satisfactory progress, having secured
the names of 1913 substantial citizens They
asked and were granted further time, and it
Is believed that membership of 200 or
more, at 80 each, can readily be obtained
For the last two years the members of the
Club, numbering about 80 or 40, have been
under an agreement guaranteeing to the
extent of 500 each. While it was con-
sidered advisable TO have q club of moderate
dimensions for convenience in transacting
business, it was found by experience
that, when members dropped out, it was
difficult to replace them, and naturally the
members that remained felt that they
would soon be undertaking too large
contract in giving racing meetings, in the
interest of the turf and of the city, with
out assistance. 1t was accordingly decided
to open the membership list, reduce the
price of memberships to SO each, and give
all the business and public-spirited men of
the city an opportunity to join. In addi-
ton 10 the dividing up of the labor and
possible expense, this scheme, on the
" more-the- merrier" principle, promised
improvement, and there is the added bene-
Fit that when 200 or more are actively inter
ested their personal enthusiasm will arouse
citizens generally and cause a greatly in
w
membership as is now assured, the club
can give large purses, horsemen will feel
justified in training and entering their
horses and there will be a large gathering
OF people from the surrounding country
present TO witness the trials of speed, the
result being balance on the right side of
the book at the end of the meeting The
Canvassing Committee will resume their
work to-day, and report at a meeting to be
held next Saturday night, when officers
will be chosen and other important bust
ness transacted.
