A RACE.
Wonderful Performance b.
Henry Bethune.

Wonderful Performance by
Henry Bethunc.
Henry Bethune of Cornwall, Can
ada, and Hart, who halls from the
Territories, ran 100 yards yesterday at
Washington Gardens. The stakes
were $500 side, and as the race was
"for blood" it was managed as
quietly as possible, only dozen or
SO spectators being present. The
start was by mutual consent, and
after one break away they got off,
Bethune having trifie the best of it.
Hart was at Bethune's shoulder the
whole distanre, but could never show
in front, and was beaten by about
four feet. The time was very fast
: one watch showing 91a seconds and
another 9A, but perhaps 9 4-5 seconds
would as nearly as possible approach
the true time made, the track being
by no means iasts one, and trife
upgrade. The defeated man, for one
comparatively unknown. ran a
wonderful race, if the time can be
accepted as correct, and that he had
confidence in his own staying qualities
. was shown by his offer torun Bethune
200 yards for anything up to 5000 a
side, but the latter refuses to run any
distance further tnan $50 yards,
alleging that as sprinter any longer
race would be beyond his distance.
This is very probably the case, but he
is placed second only to Henry
Hutchins Of Putney, London, the
champion sprinter Of the world, and
the latter made his best record at 800
yards. 1t is thought that 200 yards
would not have been beyond
Bethune's compass.

CorrespOn dcnce Between NIr.
Roster and Nlr. Dunlap.
Yesterday Mr.. John Roster, who is
well-kuown all over Los Angeles as
one of the most reputable citizens,
received the following peculiar letter
from Deputy District Attorney Dun
lap:
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE
LOS ANGELES, Cal. FeD z, 1885,
Mr.. John Roster, Los Angeles, Cdt.:
There Is q Criminal complaintiu this office
against you for Obtsining money under
false pretenses. connected with the "Vic or
Marble stock, sold to e. c. White for 5000.
BY Code pfovisi on matters OF this de-
scriptiOn may be settled sometimes by pay
ment iu full Of amount before information
Is laid before a magistrate, but not after
ward.
The complaint will be filed tomorrow
noon "Wednesday, February Sth), and you
by that hour. The complaint against you
is something in the nature Of thOss against
Boyce and Seamans, and has no connection
with any civil suit. Mr.. White urges that
the criminal proceedings commence at
once, and haye persuaded him to write
this letter and give you an opportunity to
refund, knowing that once in q criminal
court he matter must go through and can
not be fixed up. Truly.
J, B. DUNLAP,
Deputy District Attorney.
Naturally Mr.. Roster felt yer, in
dignant when he received the above.
He said that the entire transaction
with Mr.. White was a business affair.
Mr.. White had learned that he had a
certain amount of stock in the Marble
Company, and, desiring to obtain
control, he had visited Mr.. Roster and
asked the price. He was informed, and
found no fault at the amount asked.
He paid the money, took the stock,
and Mr.. Roster thought no more of
the matter until negotiations we're at
tempted to he opened with him for a
settlement, which he refused to make.
Then came the above letter, to which
Mr.. Roster has forwarded the follow
ing reply:
Los ANGELES, Cal, Feb. z, 1888.
/. MFR. J. B. Dunlap, Deputy District Attorney;
am really at loss to know how to ad-
dress yOu-whether as attorney for the man
White referred to, or as Deputy District
Attorney of Los Angeles county. At ali
events the object of your. extraordinary
communication seems to be to extort from
me the purchase price of a block of stock in
the Victor Marble Company which in good
faith recently sold to said White. Now, sir
If said com muuicatiOn resulted from mis-
taken idea of official duty, then you have
Greet for one occupying the official position
you do; II as the hired attorney for the man
Wnte, will say to sou. and through you tC
him, that you will not find me very profit
able subject for black mailing purposes.
Yours respectfully,

who got hold of the boxes, after shaking
them in different ways. cut them open

pieces of tin.of different shapes. AS no
