RECORD BREAKERS.
Sunol Trots Mile in e:1O LIZ, Beating
AxtelI's Time.

Sunol Trots a Mile in 2:10 1-2, b. ating
Axtell's Time.
SAN FRAYcIsco, November 9th.-To-day
was the isst day of the meeting of the
Trotiing Horse Breeders Association, and
although the attendance at the Bay District
Track was nothing extra, still it was above
the average that has been present at the
previous days of the meet. The day itself
was almost perfect. On the hills beyond
Golden Gate Park hung slight haze which
was ever and anon dissipated by the light
breeze which blew in from the ocean.
Dead-head Hill, in Golden Gate Park,
was crowded, as were also the balconies OF
all the neighboring saloons. Over the field
were many stylish equipages, while the
club. house balconies were well filled, as
was also the field in front of the club
house.
The first event on the programme was
the trial of the three.year-old FLY Sunol to
beat the three-year old record, 2:12, now
held by the Eastern colt. Axtell.
Hickok drove running horse alongside
as tea-er, and it was only by looking at
the runner that one was able to tell how
fast the fiily was travelling.
On the first attempt Marvin nodded for
the word, with the runner nearly furlong
behind. The quarter Sunol trotted in 81
seconds and went 10 the half in los. and
then it was certain that. barring break,
the Eastern colts record would be broken
badly. Sunol reached the three-ouarter in
1871. The FLY trotted like machine, but
now the runner caught up. and down the
stretch the FLY came like the wind, under
the whip, making the mile in 2;10l, beat.

and making the fastest mile for CalifoT-

The accomplishment of this feat was
greeted With Wild cheers from all the audi.

STEAMSHIP SERVICE.

Effort to BRING the tactic Coast Within
Ten Days of Queenstown.
New YORK, November 9th.-Concerning
the Canadian Pacific steamship service,
General Eastern Agent Skinner of the
Canadian Pacific road says: I'VE have
already succeeded in getting goods through
from HopgkoDg to Liverpool within thirty
days. At an average rate of speed of our
express trains, the distance from Van
couver to Halifax could be easily traversed
in ninety hours. This would bring the Pa
citiC coast within ten days travel from
Queenstown. Halifax is not now the spe-
cal point tor the distribution Of goods
carried by our company. The corporation
is not yet ready to go into the Atlantic
steamship service. If we furnish business
at Halifax, perhaps that is enough on our
part"
A letter from Odds, General Traffic Man
ager of the company at Montreal, to Skin
ner says: THE Dominion Government is
already negotiating for a proposed steam
ship service on the Atlantic. They count
much upon saving on water travel over
the route from New York to Liverpool, the
gain being estimated at 500 miles. Quebec
would be the summer terminus of the pro-
posed fast express service and Halifax the
winter end. 1t is proposed TO engage six

several years he concluded that the stand

WASHINGTON, November 9th = The
annual report of Surgeon General Moore
of the army, says: 1.-The value of medical
aud hospital supplies issued during the
past fiscal year was $195,6lS, and the cost
of supplies required for issue during the
current year will probably exceed that
amount" Reference is made to the work
of the Army Medical Museum in this city,
which now contains 81 ,9S2 specimens. He
says: ga careful study has been made of
the skulls and skeletons collected in Ar
iona by Hemenway, of the South Western
Archaeological Expedition, aud the results
of this study are embodied in the report
with numerous illustrations. AS these
specimens are undoubtedly among the
Oldest human remains found in North
America, a large part of them being at
least one thousand years old it is believed
this report is especially interesting and
valuable, and it is recommended that
Congress be authorized 10 have 1000 copies
of it printed at the Government Printing
Office for distribution by this Office"

creased the work of the office largely.

PARIS, November 9th. - Vice President
Naquet, of the National party, of which
Boulanger is President, returned from the
Jersey conference held at the Generals resi-
dence, with firm faith in his chief Re-
ferring to next Tuesdays proposed demon
stration, he said the Boulangists hoped to
gain by it decent respect for the party in
the future. The General is unlikely to be
present, as his honest intentions might be
misunderstood, and that too much demon
stration might be made in his honor, thus
irritating the Government to such degree
that it might invent scheme to provoke
disorder, in order that it might have an ex-
cuse for putting an end to Boulapger and
Boulangism. He declared that only those
BoulaDgist candidates were defeated in the
late election whom the General did net
personally indorse. Those men are not
thoroughly known to him. Boulanger
would certainly yet make his power felt,
although his ideas are far from plots and
conspiracies. Universal suffrage was his
motto. He is now writing an autobicgra-
ply, for which Paris publisher offered
him 250,0 francs.

Float in the East River.

New YORK, November 9th.-The war
ship Chicago, this morning. in fog in East
river, near the navy yard collided, going
very slowly, with a tug propelliDg float
loaded with freight cars.
The Chicago was moving with its own
power, and the cars were going in an oppo-
site direction. When about four lengths
apart both pilots saw the danger. By
prompt action disastrous collision was
averted, but it was impossible TO keepthe
vessels from actual contact. When they
came together the headway was much re-
duced. The port bluff of the Cnicagos
bow struck the cars amidships, and did
considerable damage to the cars. The man
of-war was not damaged.

Colonel Henderson, if located nearer the

LONDON, November 9th.-At the Lord
Mayors banquet tonight, Salisbury, in
responding to toast, reviewed the state of
foreign affairs. Referring to the success of
the Mahdi in Africa, he said the conquest
would probably induce him to again invade
Egypt. but he declared England would
sustain that country against all its enemies.
The British were not ready to vacate and
leave that land to its fate. The only known
cause for disturbance in Europe was the
faction fighting among the Cretans. The
most pernicious event would be the in
crease OF the territory or any of the great
powers. 1t would be certain to arouse
jealousy and precipitate catastrophe. All
indications, however, point to peace.

SAN Francisco, November 9th.-Two
boys discovered valise on a fight of stairs
leading to basement at 619 Pine street
this morning, and on opening it found the
dead body of babe wrapped up in a
Chinese blouse. They turned it over to
officer Wren, who took it to the Morgue.
A piece of ribbon was tied around the
throat, and whether the babe, which had
been recently born, was strangled to death
or was born dead can only be determined
by an autopsy. The general impression is
that the babe is of Chinese parentage, but
the skin is exceedingly white. The Cor
oner will make an autopsy on the body.
