The Cinder.nafh.

For the benefit of patrons of ped
estrianism in this city l publish
another of Mrs Henry Bethune's
startling effusions. I need hardly
add that comment is unnecessary
81 am glad this happened just at
this time,' said Miss Baird last night,
"and the betting men and sporting
fraternity Of San Francisco may be
thankful to me for having exposed
Bethune. He told me last week that
it was his intention to do the San
Franciscans and the people Of the
Coast up for suckers to the tune Of
$40, 900 before he left. He began his
crooked work two months ago at Los
Angeles, where he ran race against
a man named Thompson, under the
name of Mcdonald. This fellow was
a 'chump,' as Harry called him. He
had him in our room for two days in
itiating him into the secrets of throw
ing race. He could be outrun 80
easily by Bethune that he determined
to lose it by an accident, and Bethune
threw his shoe and lost as agreed.
The men who backed him threatened
to kill him for his treachery, and he
remained in his room until matters
quieted down, when we left for this
city"
w. G. George has accepted chal-
lenge issued by William Cummings,
and has deposited $50 in London,

$500 side and the championship, the
race to take place ten weeks after
signing articles.

vor Los Angeles with another visit,
when no doubt shall be able to verify
the alleged wonderful time made by
him when last among us.
The following clipping from the Er-
an,iner of Monday last is liable to be
misleading: ''It seems forgone con-
clusion among those who know that
E. G. Carter, the champion of the
New York Athletic Club, will defeat
E. 7. Connect, the Irish champion,
when they meet this spring. The
Dublin boy has displayed no wonder
full speed since his arrival, and many
are disappointed over his trials. Car
ter, on the other hand, is in excellent
condition, and in practice shows that
he is much faster than he was last
season." Carter, the naturalized Eng
lish amateur champion, has undoubt-
edly improved wonderfully since his
advent in this country, and may pos
sibly be able to beat Coneff at one or
two miles. AT anything over this lat
ter distance 1 fail to see how he is to
reverse the result OF the races run
with the Irish champion last autumn,
and at ten miles | believe it is the
proverbial "dollars to doughnuts" on
the Irishman beating him.

THE old Bay State is in fermert
about Democratic reform economy.
A few days ago order was called in
the United States District Count in
that Commonwealth, and according
to immemorial custom the first order
OF business should have been prayers
by the chaplain. Never in the his
tory of Massachusetts, since the
earliest days of the Pilgrim Fathers,
had this ceremony been omitted at
the opening Of any court, State or
Federal. But on this morning there
was no parson to say prayers. The
reason, as stated by the United States
District Attorney, was that the
Federal Government had neglected
to make the proper allowance for this
service. The fee has always been
$40, and there was not cent in the
fund. The fair inference is that no
minister in the Bay State could be
found to say prayers unless the fee
was 70 rthcoming. Jhe ministers may
be forgiven, but the party which
made such blunder will not. Sc
riously, it is about time these and
similar relics Of European influences,
not in consonance with our funda-
mental principles, should be taken
root and branch from our system.
This Government has no concern
with any form or forms of religion,
and these bits of other systems should
be let drop away.

The Trigger.

The match last Sunday between
Messrs. Carver and Chick ended in
somewhat of a SUI prise, the latter
gentleman winning close contest by
one bird. The birds were by no
means good and the arrangements in
every respect seem to have been Of
the loosest description. l do not say
that the result would in any event
have been reversed, and Mr.. Chick
deserves every credit for his really
magnificent shooting against a gentle
man who has hitherto retained an
almost unbeaten record. 1t would
have been more satisfactory had there
been two official score-keepers, in
which case the check kept upon the
referee would have insured each COM
petitor shooting in his proper turn.

The Los Angeles Cricket Club has
as yet been unable to secure suitable
grounds for the coming season. Any
gentleman who may know of such
will confer a great service on the club
by informing the Secretary, J. L.
Whitaker, Los Angeles County Bank.
Several well-known gentlemen are

poorly filed pockets in order to make
moro plethoric the purses Of their rich

Newton w. Elliots, decorator in

missing under peculiar circumstances.
1t appears that he received draft
which did not belong to him and in
duced his employer to cash it for him

Racings

The Titan Stakes, to be run at the
Jerome PARK autumn meeting, is in
tended to be what the Middle Park
Plate is to English racing, the great
two.year-old event of the season, a
two-year- Derby. But it goes
even further than the great English
event. 1t perm its only winners Of a
stake to start, hence there is singular
appropriateness in its name; it is a
race of the Titans. Whether it will
be q success or no remains an open
question. l have of seen two-year-
olds OF moderate calibre win races,
whilst horses of much superior racing
ability have had the misfortune to be
beaten on the only early occasions on
which they may happen to appear in
public, and yet afterwards prove
themselves great stake winners.
The Spirit Of the Times is response
BILE for the following:
''It is purely the work of the noble
band of "punters'' that has made
Kingston so strong a favorite at this
early stage of the game-the small
betters who lay a "fiver" or a
''tenner" at the most. Not a dollar
of stable money is resp ,nsible for it,
to judge from what Mr.. Phil Dwyer
said about week ago."
"Suppose he should incur penalties
of from lbs. to 6 lbs. In that case
will the Dryers start him? Not
much" This is certainly very con-
soling for those early betters who
have invested their money, and
think with good reason, on Kingston Is
chance of winning the Suburban. On
his back end form he is simply thrown
into the Handicap with only 121 lbs.
to carry, and to my mind is fully en-
titled to his position as favorite, even
allowing for the contingency Of his
incurring penalty. The Spirit of the
Times, in supposing that if this were
the case Dwyer Bros. would not start
Kingston, credit its owners with little
of that courtesy which gentlemen are
supposed to possess who race not fol-
profit only but for pastime and honor
The following are Messrs. Rodman
& Co.'s present quotations on the

From latest English advices learn
that Veracity won the Lincolnshire

SPORTING EVENTS.
Matters of Considerable
Interest in this City.
THE TURF AND THE TRACK
Racing News-The Cinder Path
The Trigger, Cricket and
Casual Gleanings.

Sporting events in Southern Cali
fornia especially in Los Angeles and
its vicinity have come to that pass
when it becomes the duty of sport
ing writer who has the slightest re-
gard for the interest of the public to
discountenance in every way that lies
in his power any event which he
knows to be a hippodrome. My es-
teemed contemporary Dagworth Of
the Tribune has labored with cease
less energy during the pastsix months
to promote honest sport and athleti-
cism in this city and l have aided him
to the best Of my ability. AS event
after event was promoted for the ben
eft Of the public we trusting to the in
tegrity of the managers did all in our
power to make them success and
when to our sorrow we discovered
that the events were but sc
many traps set for the unweary we
still persevered hoping for better
things, yet only to be disappointed.
Certain of these schemes are laid
bare to the public but as it is impos-
sible in every case to disclose the in
ward workings of these transactions
without exposing the journals we rep
resent to endless annoyance and
trouble we have decided in future to
give no official notice or recognition to
any event which we find out to be a
hippodrome and fraud, and we leave
it to the public to judge for them
selves on the merits and demerits of
the exhibitions presented to them.

So closely does the railroad approach
the waters edge that there seems barely
room for it between the clustering palms
and red tiled roofs of the village on one
side and the blue, shining sea on the other.
Every now and then, when a larger wave
than usual comes rolling in, the whole
breadth of the track is plentifully be-
sprinkled with spray. But in spite of this
it is thicl,ly dotted with white turbans
and blue or scarlet sashes, parti-colored
skirts, brass nose rings, dusky faces and
thick, black hair glistening with cocoanut
oil; for the railroad is a favorite prone
made with the natives, who find its firm,
smooth roadbed a great relief after the
toll of plodding ankle deep through the
soft, unstable sand of the beach.
But all at once shrill whistle is heard,
and the turbaned promenaders scatter away
from the track to right and left, while the
morning train comes rafting up at extra
speed, as if in haste to sweep away the in
truders who are trespassing upon its pri-
vate road. Out of the third class cars
