A New and Decidedly Novel Feature for
the State Fair.
1t has in late years been noticeable that
at great fairs amusement features have
been felt to be of especial value. People

Misses Nellie and Annie Schaw, daughters
of William Schaw, were driving in East
Park yesterday afternoon, not being aware
that picnic was being held there. They
were driving along slowly, when the horse
was startled into run by someone fufi-
ously driving up behind them. Before
they could get their horse quieted down
the carriage was upset at one of the turns,
and both the young ladies thrown out.
Nellie was very badly shaken up and
bruised, but not seriously hurt Annie's
wrist is broken and her face badly bruised.
Fortunately DR.. Baldwin. who was driving
in the park, was a witness to the accident,
and gave immediate attention to the I'M
fortunate girls.
Bad as it was, the young ladies may con-
graduate themselves on their narrow
escape from more serious results A gen.
tieman who saw the accident states that
Miss Nellie received wound on the head,
above the temple, that, if trife lower,
would in all probability have proved fatal.

THE OLD STORY.
THE STOCKTON BATTERs WERE UNABLE
TO HIT BURKE,
And the Consequence Was They Were
Shut Out-The Pennant Be
longs to Anyone.

Stockton, August 4th-It was the same
old story-'couldn't hit Burke"-which
caused the shut-out of the Stocktops to day
by the Sacramentos by score of to o.
Burke shot ball after ball over the plate,
striking out six men, giving no bases
on balls, and was hit safely once, two
Dagger by Eoright. His support was grand,
the only error of his men being the tumble
OF grounder by O'Day in the ninth in
ming. Newbert played a great short, and
had several difficult chances, accepting
them all.
In the first inning Veach raked in
everything, rolling up eighteen put-outs
during the game. The Sacramentos
scored their runs in the second inning.
Gagus' run being earned, and How
ards overthrow was responsible for
the other two. Harper pitched what would
have been winning ball, and Howard made
the only error of his side. Sylvester, the
umpire, was very rank, and was Kissed
loudly all through the game. Following

They Cause the oaklands to Pile Up
Another Tally Against the Leaders,
SAN FRANCISCO, August 4th-The Oak
lands had their own way to-day in the
game with the home team, but it was not
due to superior playing on their part.
Every man in Robinson's nine, at the
commencement of the contest, seemed to
pick out Hanley to send their grounders
to, and the way he handled the ball was
caution. He had five chances before he
accepted one. Then Tom Powers errors
were costly and let in runs.
Stockwell did the catching for the San
Franciscos, and did well. SWEET was in
right field. Smalley made his re-appear-
ance and was given great welcome. He
played well, though not in condition, and
both pitchers were at their best, but the
Oaklsnds gave their man the better sup
port. Score:

The proposition TO have quarter mile
bicycle track laid off at Agricultural Park,
in the rear of the judges stand. is meeting
with general Endorsement by citizens, and
the petition TO the State Agricultural
Directors VIII be urgently pressed at their
