THE 2:2O GLASS,
1t Will Furnish the Best Har-
ness Races in 1891.

Now that the State trotting season is over
for the year 1890 the records show that the
largest and most interesting class of per-
formers is the .; 20 class. No less than
twenty-seyen harness-wearers are eligible
or their public showing in California this
year. With such large number of horses
10 draw on, the State Association in max
ing up their programmes for 1891 could
much enhance the interest in the racing if
they would make the 2:20cass trotting the
leading feature. The free-fhr-all candidates
are so few that all interest in that special
class is lost, as in nearly every instance the
free for-als are only walk overs. Then
the associations, when only one competitor
shows up to walk over for the large purse
offered. declares the event off and causes
much i'll feeling among the owners.
In the 2;20 class no walk-overs need be
feared neXt year and instead of giving all
the big money for the free-for-alls, if the . 20
performers were offered it instead some
excellent racing would be had next year.
To have full entries, however the associa-
tons should reduce the entrance fees to the
purses, as there was much dissatisfaction
this year over the high entry fees that
were set Instead of the owners, trainers
and drivers receiving the money raced for
the associations made 1t all. This year it
was no uncommon occurrence for the en-

double the amount OF the money offered 10

The local pool-room proprietors have not
yet made up their minds fully whether to
close up their rooms during the coming
session of the Legislature or not. 1t is
rumored that the statesmen this time have
increased TO $4,000 their valuation
OF what it is worth the "bookies" not
be interfered with, from $4,000
the figure set two years ago. As this latter
sum is too high it is possible that the rooms
will tie kept open until adverse action is
taken. and that then the " brokers " will de-
vote themselves solely to doing business at
Joe Thompson's new track. whenever that

Two running racing meetings commenced
yesterday, one at Coronado Beach and one
at Modesto. At the frst-named place those
well-known public performers, Applause

BALL-PLAYERS RETURN.
Manager Hoag's Team Comes Back Fro
the Sandwich Islands.

Manager Hoag's Team Comes Back From
the Sandwich Islands.
Manager Hoag and his team of baseball
players arrived in this city yesterday from
the Sandwich Islands. The trip was sue
cessful one and the players are well satisfied
with their journey to Kalakaua's realm.
Mr.. Hoag, it is said, profited financially by
the games played in Honolulu.
Tom Power, the captain of the team,
stated that great interest is taken in base
ball in Honolulu. The frs. games were
largely attended, but the certainty of the
defeat OF the local teams subsequently
caused many patrons to remain away. The
grounds are surrounded by tall trees and
they were filled with "dead-head" spectators
during all of the games. The admission fee,
80 cents, was rather high for the average
native and he preferred free perch.
Power said that there are number of very
excellent ball-players in Honolulu, but they
need coaching. The clubs played ball in an
old-fashioned style when the CALIFORNIA;
played the opening game, although they
were governed by the rules OF 1890. They
were quick to learn. however, and in the
ensuing contests the Kanakas were shout

RECIPROCITY.

The Trouble Between Nr. Charles KeiIus
and His Employees.
Reciprocal good feeling is one Of the hap
piest events in life, especially when it takes
practical turn. Christmas day was char
acterized by one event at least showing the
bond of sympathy that exists between an
employer and his employees. Mr.. Charles
Keilus, proprietor of The Hub Clothing
store, was waited upon on that day by the
gentlemen who are associated with him as
clerks and statesmen, who presented him
with magnificent diamond locket as
slight token Of their appreciation of his
uniform courtesy and the high esteem in
which he was held by the donors. Later in
the day Mr.. Keilus informed the gentlemen
that he had few words to say to them, and
that if they would meet him at Franks ON
Pine street he would tell them just what he
thought of their conduct. They went, and
an Intellectual attempt was made to drown
them with champagne and stuff them to
death with everything the market affords.
They still survive and can be seen at The

Five Years.
Edward Wilson and George Crowley. both
convicted of attempting to commit burglary,
were sentenced to the penitentiary for five
years by Judge Murphy yesterday. Wilson
took his fate sorely to heart and wept like a
child when the Judge refused to heed his
chance to reform, he said, and that there
would be no hope for him If he were sent to
the State Prison. One Of his excuses was
that he had been mistaken for another man,
but the Judge told him that such preten-
sions would only be adding perjury to his

HkREDIrY OF CRIME.

Curious Phases and the Direful Results
Of Inherited Disease.
Doubtless crime is often committed from
the mere love of it.
The identity of '.Jack the Ripper re-
mains undiscovered, so we do not know
what impelIed him to the commission of
his atrocious crimes. Little doubt he was
insane. his actions controlled by an abnor-
NAL condition of the mind; it is plain none
OF the ordinary reasons for crime prevailed
in his case. He was. perhaps. victim OF
some hereditary faint, which drove him to
acts against which his will revolted and
from which. in his rational moments. his
soul recoiled in horror.
A French novelist of realism makes the
hero of late novel OF such q character.
He was aiocomotive engineer. . thoroughly
competent ana reliable man; but If he
chanced to behold the white throat of q
woman. wild frenzy seized him; he could
not control q desire 10 plunge knife into il,
He was aware of his infrmity, fought il
with stubborn will, denied himself the So
ciety of women, and for years controlled
himself. Atlast he meets his fate; finds
pleasure In her society, with no return OF
his old longing for blood. until he fiatters
himself he is safe. But one night she meets
him with cleaning throat bare; the uncon-
troliable impulse seixes him; he cannot re-
sist: as she throws her loving arms about
him he thrusts the knife into her neck,
and-she falls, victim to the madness Of
tainted blood.
Tortun atsly for ~ victims Of ordinary
