The newly-elected Board of Directors OF
the Sacramento Athletic Club held its first
meeting last evening at the gymnasium.
Considerable time was consumed in select
ing the regular standing committees for the
term, and receiving the accounts and re-
ports of the retiring officers. 1t was decided
to purchase large quantity Of new appa-
ratus, such as wooden dumb. bells, Indian
clubs, wands, parallel bars, ETC. for the use
of the juvenile class, which has grown SO
large that the regular gymnasium apparatus
is insufficient to accommodate them. The
applications of large number of persons
for membership were received and ap-
proved. Various improvements in the
building were also decided upon.

LIGHTING THE CITY.
What the New Electric Light Company
Prnnosas to no

What the New Electric Light Company
Proposes to Do.
EDS. RECORD UNION. The editorial which
appeared in Monday mornings issue of
your paper does an unintentional injustice
to the gentlemen who are proposing to
establish an electric light company in your
city, and l am sure the fair. minded policy
you have always shown will admit of your
publishing this explanation, for you are
evidently laboring under 1nisapprehen-
sion.
The gentlemen who propose engaging in
the electric business in this city are II. G..
Smith, well known to all, L. Baker,
Robert M. Hamilton, Joseph D. Redding,
G. f. Fargo and others, most of whom, if
not all, have been citizens Of Sacramento
in the past. Their names and positions in
business circles are guarantee that the
enterprise Is Legitimate one, for the pur-
pose OF an investm ent of capital, of which
they are amply able to carry out.
They desire to furnish to the city of Sac
ramento tee best of service for street light
ing at much less rate per light than has
been paid for electric lights, and to the
public generally they propose TO furnish
the best OF incandescent lights, at the low
est possible rates, which will be consider
ably less than is paid at present for gas.
These gentlemen have petitioned to the
Board of Trustees of your city for fran
chise permitting them to engage in gen.
eral electric light business They have
also presented bid for lighting the city
for two years by electricity. The Capital
Gss Company also presented a bid for city
lighting for like time, all of which have
been laid over one week after being read in
open Board. Tue bid of the gentlemen l
represent was So per month per each arc
light less than the bid of the present con-
tractors, and S. per arc light per month
less than the city is now paying for arc
lights. Assuming the number of arc
lights required shall be 125, the saving to
the City Treasury, if the lesser bid is ac-
cepted, will be 1875 per month, or 81 500
per annum, or $4,000 for the two years
lighting asked for. The rate paid to-day
by Sacramento for electric lights is far in
excess of any rate paid By a municipality
in the Union that l am aware of.
In view Of the fact that the gentlemen
represent are DESTROYS of doing business in
your city, and thereby offering healthy
competition, should they not receive every
encouragement from the public and from
the press? Or, shall it be that competition
should be throttled and the high cost of
light be maintained at the expense Of the
taxpayer? The gentlemen l represent ask
for franchise in the utmost good faith,
but will not do the city lighting unless a
franchise for general lighting in this city is
granted, nor would they take the contract
for less than two years-the time asked for
in the advertisement of the City Trustees
Very respectfully, W. G. CLARK.

Eisher,s Fate.

H. G. Fisher, the young man who got on
spree last Friday and terrorized the
neighborhood of Fifth and K streets, ap-
peared before Police Judge Buckley yes
terday for sentence. Fishers attorney
made another plea for mercy for the young
man on the ground that the latter's family
depended upon him for support, and
should he be sent to Jail the blow would
fall heaviest upon them. Judge Buckley
lectured the prisoner severely and then
sentenced him to thirty days imprison-
ment. His Honor warned Fisher that the
next time he appeared in Court he would
get the full extent of the law.

ing to S42-it would be cheaper TO board
the prisoners at the French Hotel. He
finally moved to award the contracts as per
the bids before the Board, according to The
figures offered on each article, provided
that no article be purchased without per-
mission of the Board.
The bids we're all rejected, and the Board
decided TO itself prepare schedule of such
articles as, in its opinion, the prison should
be supplied with.
CONCERNING THE RIVER
The Board discussed at length the recent
movement in the matter Of stopping the
Payne break in the river, the result of
which was adverse to any action in that d.
reotion until after next spring. when the high
water season is over. Mayor Gregory voiced
the opinion of the Board by remarking
that from investigation made prior to the
movement referred to, it was found that
there was no necessity for serious appre-
tension, for such cutting that might occur
would be only in the immediate vicinity of
the bank. Further, it was satisfactorily
shown that as soon as the river falls four
feet from its present hight, II would re-
sumo its usual course, and cut away any
and all bars that might form near the
break. Nothing can be gained By attempt
other time before the low-water period,
as all damage that could be done by
reason of the break and consequent overflow
has already been accomplished, and any
effort to patch up the break now would re-
suit in its certain overthrow during the
next thirty or sixty days, when the heavy
currents of the American river are forced
against the Yolo levee. The recent action.
deemed commendable as a precautionary
measure, should result only in the formu
lation of plans for carrying out the work
next summer when the elements and other
conditions are favorable to Its proper con-
summation.
The river is in charge of Colonel Men
dell and Major Heuer, whose opinions
are in direct concurrence with that of the
Board-each acting upon the belief that it
is not to the interest OF either the people of
Sacramento city or of Yolo county to take
any definite steps in this matter until the
waters have finally receded, and during the
summer when the same can be carried out
in practical manner. No further business
appearing the Board then adjourned.

Oriental Railway Employee,

Speaking OF railroad wages in India, |
find that section men work here for from
three to five cents day, aud that tho
roads can get all the men they want At
these prices. Engineers work on time
aud distance. aud they earn about tho
highest pay Of the railroad employees.
They get about seventy dollars a month
while running regular, but they can in
crease this by extra running to eighty five
aud one hundred dollars month. Tho
Indian railroads have no conductors In
our sense Of the word. The tickets aYe
collected aud examined by men at tho
various stations, aud the guard who man.
ages the train in other respects has moth.
ing to do with the tickets. Such guards
get about twenty five dollars a month,
and on the smaller railroads they receive
from seven to twenty dollars = month.
The most OF the guards arc natives OF
half breeds, while a majority OF the en-
gineers are English. don't think tho
English engineers are as we'll posted AZ
