THE LlNDSAY'S BRIDAL.

In blithe London Town
Ne'er such bridal was known
- As this Of Earl Colin the Lindsay SO gay;
Ger the Border, in sooth,
Never came BONNER youth,
And the kings self shall give the fair lady
away.
The trademarks and bride
Are here in their pride,
But WHY ere the rite this long pause and de
lay,
'Tisfor Colin they wait
The Light Lindsay is late:
The bridegroom forgotten his own marriage
day,
The envoy was meet,
And the bridegroom is feet,
He stands at the altar IN bridal array;
But what lacks he now:
Why this cloud on his brow?
The ring that should make her his Countess
for aye!
Oh, rings easy found
Mid the guests standing round!
And borrowed ring served on that strange
marriage day;
But when spoke was the oath
That united them both,
She looked on the ring, and she tainted away.
Twas a ring with a tomb
And q legend Of gloom,
And she visit that to death she was welded
that day.
They cheered her alnain:
But, alas, twas in vain,
And she dropped and she died ere year Wa
away.

"oUR HORSES AT THE EAST,

The San Francisco Chronicle dwells a,
length upon the broad significance of the
fact that Governor Stanford is about to
have sent East twelve carloads Of fine
young horses from the Palo Alto farm. to
be put upon the New York market. The
fact means that California-bred horses
have front rank in the 6rst-class mar.
kets, and that the high value of our State
for stoek-breeding is to be emphasized
anew. The Ckronicie, reviewing the ad-
vance made here in breeding fine stock
SAYS:
When the Bay District Association held its
first race meeting, some twelve years since,
there were but about dozen horses entered in
the different purses snd stakes whereas Row We
have as many as sixty two year-olds in the an
nual stakes and our horses have gained a most
enyiable reputation for speed and endurance
when brought into competition with the finest
Eastern cracks. At the outset the idea was de-
rided that California could ever enter into
active competition with the Blue Grass region
in the raising of thoroughbreds, and when
our detractors claimed that the victory was due
10 the potency of Kentucky stock. After the
performances of such horses as Alta, Esttll. Hi
dalgo, Nolante, sonita, Lucky B., Jim Douglas
Freda and a dozen others of equal excellence
all TO the manor born, the Eastern breeders
must fain acknowledge that the supremacy OF
the thoroughbred stock is passing from the Mid
die States TO the shores OF the Pacific.
All which is true. IT is due to the truth

The Outraged Law,

The expose in yesterdays RECORD UNION
of the infamy attempted in the case of the
Chinese woman, Fong Lin, attracted uni
yersal attention in the city, and the express
sion was, without exception, that of indig-
nation that our laws can be made the cats
paw for pulling chestnuts from the fire for
Chinese slave-drivers. The City Attorney.
1t is learned, was applied to to consent to
the issuance of the warrant for the woman,
but refused to listen to the application,
knowing that all such cases are intended
to further nefarious ends. The District
Attorney and City Attorney appeared yes
terday in the case. They Will probably see
to it to-day that the woman is tried
for the offense charged that if limo
cent, the rascals who swore out the
warrant are arrested and punished, and will
take such other steps as will teach the slave
dealers in Sacramento that their infamous
attempts to make our laws the means to
their villainous ends will no longer be toll
Grated. The wretched creature who is the
central figure of this latest outrage. is of
less importance-human being though she
ls-than the outrage upon the law of the
land, that has been prostituted to do serv-
ice for dealers in human flesh and blood.

of history to point out that the State Ag-
ricultural Society of California from its
very inception was believer in the limit
less possibilities of this State as stock
breeding ground. 1t was very early forth
fed in this belief by Governor Stanford,
who, perhaps more than any other man, by
his unhesitating faith and the manifesto
ton of it, encouraged others to follow his
example in testing the capacity of this
climate and soil in the raising of first-class
stock for all purposes. During all the
ural Society, of which Governor Stanford
was one of the most faithful patrons, stood
by the stock interests, and in good and bad
seasons alike put forward inducements of
the strongest kind to encourage breeders.
For considerably more than quarter of a
century the Association has labered in the
interests of breeders, and very often be-
yond its financial ability. While num-
Der of other associations to encourage
ohONh iioNC dilSNu dnu ultu Oul,
and but few have accomplished material
results, the State Society has adhered to its
purpose, never once losing faith in the
ability of our people to promote the
growth of fine animals here, which, under
the salubrity and equability of our climate,
should take place in the ranks of the fore
most Of the world. In all proper and rea-
sonable ways, not only by publications and
! premiums, but by annually encouraging to
the fartherest limit the competitive exhib-
itions Of fine stock, and by bringing breed
ers and purchasers together, and by cult
waiting the public taste and knowledge con-
| corning finely bred animals, the Associa-
| ton has faithfully labored in the stock in
terest. The results have been marvellous.
When wealthy men set up their breeding
farms they found public sentiment al
ready educated up to a desired standard
on the subject, and so stock breeding has
become here great industry And it will
be greater. What the Blue Grass region
has done for Kentucky the industry will
do for this State, and great deal more.
In fact, we are as yet, we believe, just in
the beginning of the business; its full
| fruitage is to come And when it does,
impartial history will give broad meas
ure of pioneer credit to the State Agricult-
ural Society NOW the State Board of Agri-
culture), where it belongs
