Leaving tha. Tu,4

A San Francisco paper saws that Mr..
Haggin, the owner of the largest racing
stable N the word, has annSnDced his in
tentlon OF disposing Of his entire stock of
yearl1Ag thoroughbreds in New York to-
ward the latter part of June. This i'm
portant and valuable CONSIGNMENT repre-
sentng the best-bFed youngsters in the
country, will be forwarded to its dessina-
tioa about the corSmen cement Of June, and
this will be the tirst of the regular annual
sales of thu yearlings from the ranch.
Being lnterTogated as to whether this
actlon would not lead to TIE retirement of
his popular col9rs from the turf, Mr. Hag-
gin said that it would probably end with
such result, ss if be reserved ary of his
/ syearlings the buyers might naturally be-
lieve that he had kept the best colts for his
own stable, and then be had no idea Of
purchasing young stock at other annual
sales Tor mare raeing purposes. OF course.
TINS enforced retirement would be gradual
IN It's effects, as there are large number of
two, three and four-y ear-olGs on the ranch
ard in the training stables who are entered
very heavily in ali the stakes at the East
ern racing centers. Mr. Hagcin is ex-
tremely liberal in his nominations, and the
various associations will regret the loss of
such large contributor to their various
events, while The geneyal public will miss
the popular orange and blue colors that
have figured in the principal races of this
| country in the last few wears. Perhaps Mr..
Haggin, like August Belmont, will in the
end return to the turf, of which he has been
such liberal and enthusiastic supporter.

San Francisco Finances.

The San Francisco Bulletin makes a
singular and very discomforting statement
OF the financial concerns of that city. 1t
appears that the Supervisors expected to
have surplus TO turn over June 80 1888,
OF 100000 with which to begin the new
fiscal year. But events beyond the control
of the Finance Committee of the Super
visors have happened that swallowed the
surplus. Thus, while the committee al
lowed the County Clerk $4,000 the Su-
preme Court held that he has the right
to expend IS 600 month. and be has done
so and will present p deficiency claim of
So 600. The BUitriia adds The Health
Department usually receives. and received
last year, an appropriation ps 5000 for
general expenses. TINS construction of the
Smallpox Hospital and other expenses IN
Cured IN suppressing the epidemic amount
to S4O,O more than the appropriation
The appropriation for the stenographers of
the five Criminal Courts was $4,000. This
will be exceeded by from $4,000 to $20,-
600, probably nearer the latter than the
former. A few days ago one reporter pre-
sented bill for a weeks work for $312-
six days at $40 day, and $252 for trans.
cribing. All the stenographers- bills are
paid by Judges Toohy, Murphy. Horn
blower, Lawler and Sullivan. Here there
is $4,000 with which the Finance Com
mittee intended to build and repair school
houses, pay judgments, reconstruct ac-
cepted streets and pay the back salaries of
school teachers. gone to the winds. 1t is a
curious coincidence that, as the system of
finance in this city works, raids by the tax
eaters and other unusual. expenditures
come out of the appropriations for the
streets and schools. This is owing to the
fact that nearly all the expenditures of the
departments are fixed by law, except the
School aud Street Departments. The
County Clerk, Assessor, Tax Collector,
Sheriff, shorthand reporters, iails, prisons,
etc., ell. have the whip-hand upon the Aud
itor and Finance Committee. They cannot
be compelled to economize. The others
can, and they are generally made to do It.

NEW RAILROADS,
The Southern Pacific to Build Through

the San Ramon Valley.
| Articles of incorporation were filed in the
! County Clerks Office at late hour yester-
! day afternoon for a new railroad, TO run
| from Avon, on the San Pablo and Tulare
| Railroad, to point on the Central Pacific
| near Pleasanton, in Alameda county. The
| capital stock is 81 $50 coo, divided into 10
| 800 shares at 800 each. The Directors are
j. P. Brown, d. D. Stubbs, w. L. Brown.
A. ]. Treat and G. L. Lansing. The name
| of the line is the San Ramon Valley Rail-
road, and though the names of Messrs
Stanford, Hopkins or Crocker do not ap-
| pear on the list of Directors, the Southern
Pacific Company is the protector of the
scheme. Avon is point few miles east
of Martinez, at the entrance of the fertile
valley in which the town of Pacheco is sit
uated. The line, which is thirty-five miles
IN length, traverses the central valley of
Contra Costa county, from north to south.
This valley varies from half a mile to six
miles in width. The soil is particularly
fertile. The line runs west of Mount Di-
| ablo, and as surveyed touches the towns of
Walnut Creek, San Ramon and Danyille.
The road will not be very expensive one
to construct, though some portions in the
fgnaclo valley are somewhat rough and
| will need considerable grading.
Another railroad incorporated by the
Southern Pacific yesterday is the Ramona
and San Bernardino Railroad, to run from
Ramona, on the Southern Pacific in Los
Angeles county, to Grafton, one of the new
towns in San Diego county The incorpor.
ators are G. L. Lansing, J. P. Brown Fred
erlck Madge, G. G. Lathrop and G. Z.
Hayes. The estimated length is seventy
one miles, and the capital stock is So O30,-
OO0.-S. f. Call, April 25th.
Work on the Willows and Mendocino
Railroad, which is being pushed by the
Southern Pacific Company. is progressing
at satisfactory rate. Nearly ten miles of
| rails have been laid and ten more will be
completed in a short time. The road
leaves the Southern Pacific Company's
northern railway at Willows and runs
| northeasterly towards Humboldt Bay. AS
soon as the first section has been COM
pleted the forces will be taken off and set
to work at Madison, on the Capay valley
line. The grade to the head of the valley
is all complete, and would have been
ironed before this but for the lack of rails.
The Capay valley line will go north to
Lakeport, making connection with the
Willows line on the way. From Lakeport
the line will be pushed north through the
divide between Blue Lake and Potter val
ley at or near Pomo. There now appears
to be no question about the fact that the
Southern Pacific Company has a well de-
vised and carefully planned scheme to tap
the Humboldt Bay timber belt as soon as it
is able to do sos. f. Chronicle.

This indicates beyond doubt that Mills
