ELEcT1oNEER AND GEO. WILKES.
The Wonderful Record of the Former in
Short Time.

Harvey W. Peck, in Chicago Horseman.l
After as csrt ful a computation as can be
had without having the exact facts at hand,
1t appears that George Wilkes has sired al
most twice as many foals as Eiectioneer.
Wilkes stood for years rs public stallion
and had access to The bsst blood of the
country But very few men in California
have bred to Electioneer, and but few out
slders own horses by him. Every one will
understand that all Of his produce being
owned upon one farm precludes giving all
his colts as good chance as they would
have we're they universally owned through
ont California for various reasons AL
though such is the fact, Electioneer has
| sired fifty horses that have beaten 2:30 two
two-y ear-OlGS that made records of 2:30I
while Wilkes, from public service, sired a
dozen more from twice the number Of colts
1t must be remember that one-third of
Electioneers colts are less than two wears
old, while the progeny of Wilkes are aged
horses. When ali the youngsters by Elec-
tioneer are developed there is no telling
how far, numerically, lie will surpass
Wilkes
Eectioneer is a much greater sire of ex-
treme speed than Wilkes. To not go too
much into detail, he has sired three-year-
old with a faster record by three seconds
tLdD tDc ldSltSt vi w AkcS nc
has sired a horse with record Of 2:124
from g thoroughbred mare. No other
horse has been able to impart such speed
under similar conditions. He has sired
horse with a record of 2:20 from q thor
oughbred mare. No other horse has been
equal 10 the task. One of his sons sired
yearling that went mile in 2:3l4, the best
record fer that age. He has sired nine two
yesr-olds that have tro,ted to records from
2:1S to 2:304 He has sired eight three
ear olds that have made records from
2:104 10 2:274
As for campaigning, the very fact of
nearly all his get being owned by one farm
woGld naturally initiate against thgm as
against the get OF a horse whose Immediate
get hiss been owned for years in almost
ev. ~ 5 ale III the Union. California is q
comparatively young State--ln years at

10 'rot horses through compared with the
va territory EAST Of the Rocky Mountains,
w;-re hors's are campaigned fcom New
" K to Texas, and for Six months of the
yesr.
Not every man can take trotteIs East,
even were they very excellent campaign
ers, but when some of the Electioneers ap-
pear there in the future, the HorSemGn NAV
consider them very fair campaigners.

PUBLIC INSTALLATION.
A Pleasant Evening With Capital Lodl
U. E. d., at Firemen's Hall.

Pleasant Evening With Capital Lodge,
U. e. d., at Firemen's Hall.
There was a public installation of the
newly-elected officers of Capital Lodge, No.
SO, of the United Endowment Association,
last evening at Firemen's Hall.
The affair was a most interesting one,
and the visitors were considerably i'm
pressed with the installation ceremonies.
John G. Miller, of San Francisco, who is
the Grand Commander of the Association
in this State, conducted the exercises ad-
mirably. Following are the officers in
stalled: Commander D. j. Hartley; Vice
Commander, Mrs. G. Schneider; Assistant
Commander, John Luce; Secretary, @. H.
Denton; Treasurer, Mrs. ]. Hillebrand;
Guide, Mrs. E. Bryan; Guardian, Mrs. NJ.
Yuhre; Sentinel, Mrs. K. Hartley; Trus-
tees, Mrs. A. V. Knaur, A. Schneider and
Mrs E. Bryan.
The new officers made short speeches
after the installation, after which Grand
Commander Miller made an address.
He said the word Association" was
hardly a fit term to be applied to
an organization of this kind. 1t
was fraternity. Associations were, as q
rule, run by board of directors rather
than by the membership, as is the case
with this society. He then referred to the
growth of secret fraternal societies in the
last century, dating back from the time
when the Maso1s first started out in the
| face of the ridicule and derision OF the in
credulous. The Mssons hourished though
and so did the Odd Fellows, who followed
close upon their heels; aud so have the hun
dreds of other similar societies of good in
tent, which have since come into exist
ence He stated that the Endowment AS
ISOLATION was in most hourishing condi.
ton and was growing daily. For the ben.
eff: of non members the speaker went into
detailed explanation of the endowment
scheme and quoting figures to corroborate
| his statements.
At the conclusion of the Grand Com.
| manders address, literary and musica
programme was rendered, intersperseC
with dancing, at the conclusion of which 6
collation. was spread for the members anC
| their friends.

A Blooming Youth Who Has His Eye on

A Blooming Youth Who Has His Eye on
the State Penitentiary.
Orrin Madison is probably one of the
toughest specimens of boyhood that has
been brought to the police station for
months. He was arrested for stealing a
quantity of tobacco from Sherburn's auc-
ton store on Friday evening, and told the
arresting officer in the vilest of language
that he would "do him up" if he didn't
happen to be a member of the force.
Chief Lee took him into his private Office
yesterday, and ascertained that Madison
had the business of stealing down to fine
point A pair of rubber boots which he
wore were stolen property, as was also an
expensive brush and other articles in his
possession.
The Maynard lad is not yet fifteen years
old, and both his parents are dead. He
chews, smokes, drinks, carries pistol, and
is well On the road to the penitentiary. A
charge of petty larceny was placed against
him, and in the Police Court yesterday be
pleaded guilty.
Judge Buckley questioned him at length,
and was about to take the case under ad-
visement until Monday, when Madison
made the remark that "if he got anything
he wanted it right away" He was then
sent to the County Jail for ninety days.

How Racing Benefits the Poor Man.

1t has been calculated that the Ameri-

pie and indirectly assists $4,000 more to a
livelihood. The thoroughbred stations
and brood mares on the great stock farms
are valued at S6,000,0O and the sons and
daughters of these stations and brood
mares earned above 100000 more dur
ing the past season, the value of the stock
now employed for racing being valued at
100000, while the capital invested in
race tracks and stables is 100000. The
stock farms embrace 100000 acres of the
finest land in the country, and last year
the yearlings sold footed up 100000
while the attendance at race courses mum.

Police Judge Buckley Makes a Sugges-
ton to the City Attorney.
When the case of Thomas Burns, &C
cused of assault to murder D.. Considine,
was called in the Police Court yesterday, City
Attorney Church asked for further con-
tinuance on the ground that the officers
who were working up the case had not yet
succeeded in getting all the witnesses.
Judge Buckley's ire was aroused by the
request, and he stated in rather plain Ian
guage that if he were the City Attorney he
would not depend on the officers entirely
to get evidence, but would exert himself to
some extent in the preparation of cases.
Burns, the defendant, had been in Jail
over ten days, and the prosecution had had
ample time to get ready.
The Judge said he would have denied
the motion for continuance and ordered
the prosecution to make showing, but for
the fact that Burns asked time to get a
lawyer to defend him. Ghe case was con-
tinued until Monday.

The Eastern players struck the coast in
one of those rare seasons when our "glori-

they are very much disguised with their
experience. If the weather at the Bay
should be pleasant to-day they expect TO
make a few hundred dollars, that will help
defray their expenses.

employed and paid for the whole of next

The Baby-Traps on Downtown Streets
are Still Open.

Inc BaDy-1rSpS on DOWn-IOWn streets
are Still Open.
1t was stated by Street Commissioner
Mclaughlin at recent meeting of the
City Trustees that property owners who
had placed iron gratings in their sidewalks
parallel with the streets had been notified
to change the same so that they would be
at right angles Herewith. Several acct
dents have occurred owing to the capsizing
of baby-buggies by the wheels dropping
through these gratings, and the newspapers
have repeatedly called attention to the
matter.
1t would seem that property own ers
have very little fear of the city authorities
for the nuisances still exist in different
places on the graded streets. If the Offend
