Some Misconceptions Regarding the Fa
nous Racer.

nous Racer.
respondent of the Alta contributes
the following interesting information con-
corning the early life of the horse Norfolk,
which died here last week at the age of 80
years. The writer says:
The articles published in the dailies
about the once famous race horse Notlo,k
are just trifie too silly to let pass I'M
noticed. One says he was chestnut stall.
lion, when he was in reality a good end
sohd bay, like his sire. Indeed, he looked
more like Lexington than any other horse
OF MS get, excepting perhaps Pat Malloy,
"ho oled about month ago at Woodburn,
where Norfolk was also foaled.
another one CT these wiseacres also saws
mat me colt was trained by the famous
Ben Pryor, who had previously trained
Lexington. The truth is that Mr.. PRYOR
never trained Norfolk q day of his life.
Norfolk was trained by colored man
named Ansel Williamson, who was for
several years in the employ of MIR. Alexau-
der, the breeder of Norfolk.
Another luminary says that Norfolk was
brought out to California in charge OF Rich
ard Havev, now in the employ OF The Palo
Alto stock farm Of Senator Stanford. Mr..
Havey, II he was in charge of the colt
which had just sold for the largest price
ever ootalned Tor running horse in Amer
lea, must have been very precocious
youth, Tor he was not Is years old when
the ship left New York.
The party that came out with the great
colt from New York were Theodore Win
tiers, his owner; George II. Rice, his
trainer; Michael Piggott, his groom !;
Richard Havey, his rider, and james L.
EOn, well known here as trottinc-hnrsa
trainer and driver. OF the above named.
only Dir. Winters and Richard Havey are
now alive, por had Hsvey ever ridden the
great colt in any rece prior to his arrival
in this State. In al his Eastern races be
was ridden by ABE" coIored man, who
in = dem cruel slavery days" belonged 10
that typical Southern gentleman, Hon.
Duncan +. kerner OF Louisiana.
Another paper says that his best race
was at three miles over tie MarysyilIe
track in 1866. This also is incorrect Nor
folk ran no race ia that yesr. All his per-
formences III California were III 1865, and
consisted OF two races st tTo-mile heats
and one OF three mile heats. in all of which
Judge Bryan's horse Loci was the only
contestant. The time OF the three-mile
race is the fastest on record to day and
very likely to remain SO, as heats have long
since heen abolished. 1t has been beaten
II dash races at the same distance.
As 10 which son of Lexington was the
best sire the palm must be given to War
Dance. But when his limited opportuni.
ties sre taken into consideration, Norfolk
has outbred every son of Lezirgton. No
other son CT Lexington has SO far gotten
as good q colt as Ell Rio Rey, leaving the
Emperor out OF the question entirely.

FOLSOM PRISON.
DIR. Ruggles' Favorable Report on Its
Sanitary Condition.


In the biennial report of the State Board
of Health, DR.. c. A. Ruggles, on behalf of
that body, makes The following statement
concerning the sanitary condition OF the
Folsom Prison, the health of the prisoners.
etc. After complimenting Warden Aull
upon the neat condition OF the prison, he
says:
Il am free q sdmit that was preiudiced
against the sanitary condition of this in
sti'ution, as the oft-repeatei assertion had
reached my attention that the location of
the prison was very unhealthy one, and
/ was prepared to find both officers and
conviets more or less affected by malaria
and concomitant diseases. Therefore, |
was determined to give it the closest
scrutiny and most rigid examination. and
/ freely admit in general terms that quite
the contrary is the result of my inspection.
The death rate is lower, and the excuses

spection of all the cnnvicts, and l was most
agreeably surprised by the total exemp-
tons Of sickly appearances. They ali
seemed hale, hearty and well fed, and,

stances, l might say, happy also. The

well ventilated.
''In fact all the modern appliances have
been utilized TO give pure air in liberal
quantities to corridors and cells. The rails
lag of the wall four feet, and the addition
of q row of apertures near the roof, has
done much to improve the ventilation, and
in measure to account for the healthful
condition of the convicts. The fact that in

No Prospects of Big Shooting Fight 4"
in Chinatown.

A RECORD UNION reporter yesterday in
terviewed Chinese merchant who speaks
excellent English, and IS considered one of
the bosses in Chinatown. The converse
ton was in reference to the recent stories
about impending warfare in the local Chi.
nese colony.
It will be remembered that the police on
several occasions received information that
led them 10 believe that trouble was brew
ing, that hordes of blood.thirsty highbind
ers were being imported from San Fran
cisco by the opposing local factions to take
sides in the expected ssnguinary collisions.
The police watched the Chinese Quarter
vigilaRtly at the time and took every pre-.
caution 10 prevent bioadshed.
But the reporters informant says that
the stories were greatly exaggerated THE
whole trouble" he said, was caused bv
the shooting OF An Soon on September Sth
last. His friends, or his company, de-
manded satisfaction OF the company to
which the man who shot HIM belonged,
and as they refused, considerable talk
about trouble was heard. But It did not
result seriously. Yes, three or four agents,
or highbindeTs, as you call them. came M,
and made threats, and finally succeeded in
making the shooters friends paw them
quite sum of money. That was all there
was to 1t. The agents went back TO San
Francisco week before last and every thing
has been quiet since then. There was
never, don't think, any prospects of a big
shooting fight

TURN NOT FROM GOD.
An Interesting Sermon by Mrs. Baeyerl
the Jewish Evangelist.

AN interesting seTmOn Dy NfFS. baeycrtZ,
the Jewish Evangelist.
Mrs. Baeyeftz, the Jewish Evangelist, re-
Gently from Australia, conducted special
union services at the First Baptist Church,
on Ninth street, between L and NJ, yester-
day afternoon and last right, and the
church was crowded on each occasion.
The services in the evening were espe-
cially interesting.
Mrs. Baeyertz is wonderfully clear and
eloquent speaker, and possesses that valu.
able faculty of holding her audiences in
deep attention. Her theme last night was
one calculated to set people who are ever
confident with their relations with God to
thinking. MANY of you think she said,
that as long as you go ahead and DO the
best you can in this life that you will come
out all right. But you won't. You will
come out all wrong. Cain did The best he
knew how, but he was cursed by the Lord,
and you who are thinking that way now
are under the same curse. Before Christ 5
time they used to sacrifice lambs and
the ike upon the altar of
God. They 90 not sacrifice
in that way now, because there is one sacri-
fee which will do for all-the death of
Jesus Christ upon the cross. God can
only be approached through sacrifice and
nothing can save soul but the blood of
Christ. God does not expect you to slay a
lamb and offer it as did Abel. He points
you to the cross. There is my lamb saws
he, He has been bearing the sin of the
world. Take Christ as your Saviour and
will accept you
There is line" continued the speaker,
that separates the Lords mercifulness
and His wrath ia
know not where ii is-but we must not
cross it if we would be saved. Cain went
beyond that line. 1t was not the murder
OF Abel that lost Cain. He had melted the
wrath OF the Lord before that tragedy. He
had turned away from God. If you turn
away from atonement, if you spurn God,
you will be cursed, too. Murderers have
been forgiven and their sins washed away,
but there is no forgiveness for you who
despise your God"
Reverting to the lesson taught by the
story of Cain and Abel, the speaker said
that the general belief prevailed that Abel
was good man and Cain a wicked one.
They were both wicked and yet Cain was
religious. This was proved by his bring
ing a sacrifice. The trouble was that he
brought the sacrifice as form and not SIS
an offering for sin, and SO il was not &C.
copied by God. With Abel it was differ
ent. His offering was accepted. 1t was
this that engered Cain.
.sA great many of Us, said Mrs. Baeyertz,
were like Cain-religious in form only, and
were not in sympathy with oar gifts and
professions.
Tonight Mrs. Baeyertz will give her
celebrated address on THE Great White
Throne" In other cities the. crowds have
been so great TO hear this address, that she
has had to repeat it night after night. Once
in Melbourne she was compelled to repeat
II twice the same night, in order to accom-
modate the throngs. Joseph Cook, who
lectured in Sacramento recently, made men,
ton of this address, and pronounced it a
most wonderful composition.

ALMOST A MILLION,
This Years Returns of the Orchardists
of the yacayille Section

of the Vacaville Section.
The warm valleys lying along the east
side of the Coast Range north of Suisun,
such as Vaca and Cspay, are coming 10 the
front as fruit-producipg sections. The
Vacaville Enterprise says of this years out
put:
Some Of the larger owners of orchards
have not yet disposed of their fruit, and
some have it On consignment in Eastern
distributing points, awaiting a further in
crease in the market, which is bound TO
come in the mid winter months. The fig
ures We have heretofore quoted, as the re-
turns through the bank, are correct, and as
these who are posted assert, with every
assurance of being right, that there is fully
$4,000 yet TO come in, il may safely be
said that this year will show an income TO
the truit-growers of this valley of 5000 600.
IF We consider the number of unbesring
trees and the losses by last winters ex-
cessive rains of bearing trees, it will show
an average profit throughout the valley of
fully $3.50 per acre. Individual cases will
show greater net returns, but taking the
chat with the wheat, we challenge any
district in the State of California to make a
more favorable showing than this"
