The Messrs. Stein and Pasmore were
hunted up in hurry by the horrif1ed
"blue noses," and a big kick registered
against the consumption of the Liquid
damnstion." The latter gentlemen
were obdurate. The Senator wanted to
compromise by taking the stuff to the
spot in the building where there is sus-
picion that such liquors are retailed to
those who know the ropes, and to con-
duct the gentlemen there on the quiet,
but Pasmore, with more emphasis than
courtesy, said that he and his colleagues
were running the affair, and if the
worthy Prohibitionists did not like their
style they were welcome to leave. Sadly,
and with much regret, the two gentlemen
donned their coats and turned their
backs upon the scene of sin-and the
evening was not remarked to be particu-
lsrly marred by their absence.
The above facts come from reliable
source, and though perhaps inaccurate as
to some slight detail, are said to be sub.
stantially correct.

The Record Made at the Park
Yesterday.
Owing to the threatening aspect of
the weather there was not very large
attendance at the Athletic park yester-
day afternoon, though nearly all the
local msrksmen were on hand to witness
the championship contest between picked
teams of the crack shot trap-shooters of
the Eastern and Western States, who
are travelling under the management of
the United States Cartridge Company, of
Lowell, Mass. 81, 7. Payne, president
of the California State Sportsmen's AS
sociation, oAicated as judge, and punc-
tually at 2 O'Clock the exhibition COM
menced. The teams consisted of five
men a side. each of whom shot at thirty
single and five pairs of blue rock targets,
thrown from three traps, at eighteen
yards rise, under American rules.
The Eastern team carried off the hon.
ors, in both the singles and doubles, with
a score of 178 out Of possible 200. The
feature of the exhibition was unques-
tionably the wonderful shooting of w. H.
Wolstencroft, who made the only clear
score of the day in the singles, though
II. McMurchy and H. B. Whitney, of the
same team, ran him very close, with
scores of 30 each.
]. R. SEice made the top score of the
Western team, with 29 singles and 9
ubles, R o. Heikes and j. A. Ruble
being next in succession, with % and 27
respectively.
The individual scores are as follows:

We both mutually agree that each one

the interest shall be one ($1) dollar.
This loaning for the term of four years /;
both the principal and the interest shall
be clearly paid back. If paid to do 30,
the interest shall be added to the princi.

her liberty, it being part of her purchase

China. He came to America. She heard

A very good story comes from Pomona
of remarkable demonstration made by
two prominent Prohibitionists of that
place on the occasion of the banque,
given Friday evening by the citizens to
the members of the New England
grocers' excursion. AS is generally
known, the saloons of Pomona ceased to
operate openly after the passage of the

year ago, but whiskey has
been sold in any quantity to suit
behind nearly transparent screens and
in hooks and corners not very hard to
find ever since. Recently the ''blue-

e. McComas, State Senator from this
district, and W. NJ. Woody, the Mayor of
the town, have recommended their crus

ber of saloon-keepers have been arrested
and prosecuted, the aforesaid gentle
men. it is said, putting up the cash to
push the cases. Senator McComas has
