WINTER RACING.
The New Orleans winter meeting Will be-
gin shortly after the close at Nashville
While the purses ut the Crescent City are By
no means large, the other advantages are
such as ought to attract good class OF
horses. and plenty of them. The Washing

rangements for the regular fall meeting,
which will commence on October 10Th.
TIN CUP" RECORDS.
The National Association of Trotting-
horse Breeders have passed resolutions and
rules abolishing ''tin cup" records. That is,
they declared that when horse trots against
time in the fashion in which Maud S made
mile in 2:0SA, Jay Eye See 2:10, Sunol
2:10% and Stamboul and Palo Alto 2:12A
each, the performance shall not be accepted
as a record, and even if fast enough will not
entitle the horse to registration where the
other conditions meet the requirements:
The Kentucky Horse Trotting Breeders
Association, however, is opposed to the
change, and have also passed resi- buttons
and rules that the action of the National
Association will not be Endorsed by them.
The matter will, no doubt cause mach clash
lug between the different associations and
furnish ample subject for newspaper discus
sion all winter. Tin cup" records may do
for exhibition purposes, but the real leSiti-
mate test of time made in race, alone
should enttle a horse to standard records
and registration.

constitutions.
Yesterday afternoon about thirty men,
bers Of the California Nationalist Club met
in session at Saratoga Hall on Geary street,
Vfce-President b. w. Baichelder in the
chair.
A committee appointed to revise the con-
stituton of the club 50 as to include certain
vital provisions in view of the recent dis
ruption of the society made its report The
new constitution includes MANY Of the
articles of the former one, and not few
others with but very little notification
After discussion, 1t was decided to have IL
typewriter and left at II Stockton street
for week. for comparison with others and
for study. Next Sunday, 1t is thought, the
reported constitution will be adopted.
A member of tue Nationali5ts' state Com
mittee asked L. Y. Gator, nominee for Con-
gress on the Reform Democratic ticket for
the Fourth District, whether an iDdorse-
ment by that body would add to lis strength.
Mr.. Gator said, Your organization being
State affair, can hardly aid me in municipal
fight. Still, l may be mistaken and Will
leave you to talk it over among yourselves.
1t will be in good time later on, anyway"
The subject of collecting some 500 of out
standing dues came up, and Ii was suggested
that a collector be appointed and remuner-
ated at the rate of from ten 10 twenty-five
per cent of his collections After discus
sion the suggestion was Incorporated in a
motion so amended that the collecting
should be given TO lady.
ii. V. Mcdonald was elected Secretary OF
the club, after which short addresses were
made by DIR. James w. Noliere and Ii. ID.

A Young Mans Spree Almost Ends

A Young Mans Spree Almost Ends in
SufTocatiOn.
Charles Johnson, a young man, was
found in his room at $751; Market street, at
10 o'clock yesterday morning in an I'M
conscious state. The apartment was filed
with gas, which had escaped from the jet,
and as johnson to all appearances was
then dying, it was imagined that he had at
tempted suicide. This opinion was hastily
arrived at because he was always careful
about the gas. A policeman was summoned,
and he removed the asphyXated man to the
Receiving Hospital for treatment.
After short time the doctors resus-
citated Johnson, no went away highly de-
lighted at his lucky escape. He declared it
was all an accident, due to his over in
diligence in liquor with some cornwall COM

NICKEL AND COBALT.
Value of the Product of the Mines in
Churchill County, Nevada.

Churchill County, Nevada.
'In one of your contemporaries" writes
William C. Moran. engineer of the Emperor
mine in Churchill County, Nevada, to The
CALL, Il read that the Sudbury nickel mine
and the Oregon nickel mines were the rich
est in the world, aud stated that the Oregon
mine went per cent nickel and the Sud
burg goes per cent Now. we have mines
here that have aSsayed 70 per cent nickel
and cobalt, and will work by shipping by
the carload 26 per cent The first is the
Emperor, then the President, Empire, Gov
ernOr and NabOb, all rich mines, and | say
these are the richest nickel mines in the
world. The lodges run from two feet up to
four feet and in places on the ledge six to
eight feet, and can be taken out in large
quantities and can keep fifty-ton furnace
running Next comes the Nickel King
another good mine. The National Nickel
Company will yield from to 60 per cent
nickel and has at present 1000 tons of ore
on the dump that will smelt 20 per. cent and
there are twelve claims in Arabia, in the
Humboldt District, that will go 10 per cent
nickel aud cobalt So you can see that
Nevada has the richest nickel mines in the
world, yielding from 30 to 26 per cent,
while Oregon mines yield but per cent and
Canadian only per cent"

PARACHUTE DEoCENSION.

Beach.

Professor BaIdwin's Exhibition at Bakers
Beach.
Bakers Beach was crowded with more
than the usual rush OF Sunday visitors yes
terday, the attraction being balloon ascent
and parachute descent by Professor Bald
win, the aeronaut. After the initiation of
the huge canvas globe Professor Baldwin
took hold of the end of thirty-foot rope
and went upward with the balloon which
after its first sudden rise fioated gracefully
in the air. After ascending about 1000 feet
the balloon seemed to remain stationary.
Professor Baldwin then pulled a string
and descended with the parachute, landing
safely several thousand feet away from
where the ascension was made.
The balloon, after eXhausting its hot air,
descended in an almost vertical line about
one hundred feet from the spot where Pro-
lessor Baldwin landed.

THE FRESNO SHOOTING.

The shooting of Percy Williams at Fresno
by hacl1m an over a gambling dispute was
hardly a surprise to local horsemen. But it
was not quite expected that he would have
been killed in a quarrel about cards. The
manner in which the deceased managed his
stable Of trGtterS and runners was anticlpat-
ed BY all who have attended the races this
year would surely lead to serious trouble be-
fore the years racing ended. An excessive
indulgence in liquor frequently caused the
deceased to make threats that he certainly
would not have thought of making when in
a. clear state OF mind. Percy Williams had
every opportunity to make an enviable rep
utatton for himself and his stable on the
race-tIack. but unfortunately allowed him
self to be svayed by gang of evil counsel
ors and tricksters that hung around him
like Il swarm of bees.

1t is most satisfactory, in these days when
crooked work on the turf seems to be the
rule and not the exception, that there is one
driver on who the public can rely, and who
is always selected by the judg es to fill the
place of some rascal who is trying to bring
off job. The driver alluded to is James
Dustin. At Oakland ana Sacramento he
proved his honesty in several instances, and
Incurred the enmity of the tricksters. At
the latter place his life was threatened
publicly, especially for his driving out n ed
WinSlOw in the great Cricket upset, when,
by forcing AlmOnt Patchen to his speed, he
caused CEcket's shut-out. Again at Stock

up behind Brilliant, a hot fayOrite, whose
driver was trying to lose the race, and

Throughout the entire circuit this year
the racing has been very poor and FAR
below the standard of past years. Bad
CHASING, which made three out Of every five
races gifts to some vastly superior horse,
and the absence in the East of some OF the
big stables were the causes OF the poor
showing. Then again by some bad manage
ment the winners in classes that almost
touched were never brought together.

over the returns have been made at every

eddy suggested in the racing reports of The

The Mutual booksellers themselves. Let the
association station judges at every Mutual
box and closely note the closing figures, then

nouuce them 10 tie judges in tie stand, and
then let them declare officially what each

would any way be assured that they were
