THOMPSON'S TRACK.
The Plans for the Same Are AL
most Complete.

Joe Thompson's plans for the building of
the new race-track are beginning finally to
shape themselves definitely Last night he
personally stated that C. Webb Howard Of
the Spring Valley Water Company, who
had taken most kindly interest in the
building OF the track, had offered him the
lease Of the required area of ground on the
company's property covering the old Ocean
race-track. MIR. Howard had most gener-
ously offered him the lease for seventeen
years at $1,000 year, and Thompson had
every assurance that at the meeting of the
company on Thursday next, Mr.. Howard's
action would be Endorsed. c. F. Croker of
the Southern Pacific Company has also prom
ised thompson that sufficient transporta-
ton facilities to accommodate all possible
attendances will be provided to the track
by the company's lines, and that work will
be begun and completed long before the
new course is ready.
There is. however. one little hitch to over
come In LAYING out the track, owing to the
grading diffir ulties; but Mr.. Schussler, the
water compapy's engineer, and NJ. M.
Shaughnessy, acting in the same capacity
for thompson. have been working out the
problem for some time and in a few days
this difficulty will be overcome. Contracts
for the grading, which will cost about
$4,000, will be signed when the above
named arrangements ara all complete.
Owing to the generous action Of the water
company Thompson has at last had good
fat slice of luck and is many thousand
dollars ahead by 1t. When the seventeen
years lease is up Thompson will also be
allowed TO remove, il he SO desires. his i'm
provements.
At one time and owing to the general rise
in price of any desirable location Thomp-
son felt somewhat dubious about the success
OF his plans, but now he is quite elated over
his prospects. He contradicts the report
that he will employ an Eastern man to act
as his assistant manager. and says he will
employ only frst-class California men who
understand the local racing situation. Ii
progress in building the track is as rapid as
he anticipates, he expects to have the new
track ready for racing by next November.
Tns entire elearing-out sale of B. G.
Holly's stud of trotting and thoroughbred
horses will take place at his Hollywood
breeding farm near Vallejo on Wednesday
Of next week. The catalogue shows that
ffty-one lots will be offeredSamong them

ones as Economy by Echo by Hamble-
tonian, and Aurelia by ALBERT w by Elec-

RATES RAISED,
Higher Charges for Carrying Freight to
Southern Coast Ports.

Higher Charges for Carrying Freight to
Southern Coast Ports.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company
has raised its rates on ordinary merchandise
to Redondo. San Pedro and Newport from
81 to So per ton. The latter rate, however,
is not as high as the one charged before an
opposition steamer was run to these ports,
and it may be raised. A few months ago,
when the steamer Santa Maria was put on
to run from here to the ports mentioned, the
freight rates were So a ton. The Santa
Maria reduced the rate to So ton and the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company further
reduced the rate to 81. The Santa Maria
still continued running at the So rate, but
neither line could make anything at these
figures. For some reason, about month
ago, the Santa Maria was taken off the
route, whether permanently or not is not
yet known. If she remains off the rates of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company will
not be lowered and may possibly be raised.

hemp enough within six months to bind

corn and wheat and cotton: and shall
they still insist ON the same limited
range of effort, walk in the same fur

live and die in the same overdone and

preston will become chronic and in

The supper at Queen Emma Hall for
the Benefit of the New Sailors
Home.
Ii there are any of our readers who
did not partake of supper at the
Queen Emma Hall last evening, all
we can say to them is, that they
missed a good, square meal. As
stated before this supper was for the
benefit of the funds for the new
Sailors Home, and all arrangements
were made by the following able
committee of ladies Mrs. Alex.
Macintosh, Mrs. CAPITA. Fuller, Mrs.
B. F. Dillingham;, Mrs. Widdifeld,
Mrs. Ira Richardson, Mrs. VIM. Fos-
ter and Miss Harriet Levers. In the
hands of such committee there is
no wonder that the supper was the
grand success it was.
The bill of fare was very tempt
ing one, and included the most de-
Gcious fish chowder we ever tasted,
chicken and other curries, tongue,
ham, homemade pies. biscuits, white
and brown bread, sandwiches, olives,
pickles, coffee. etc, etc. Ice cream.
of nice quality, was also served, but
charged for extra. Tables were
placed in every room upstairs, and
the attendance was beyond all ex-
pectation. There was very charm
ing bevy of young lady walters, who
were especially attentive to the
wants of those who attended. The
Royal Hawaiian Band was stationed
in the grounds and played excellent
music during the supper. At late
hour last evening no idea could be
obtained of the gross receipts, but
there is no doubt they will be large
The committee deserves much credit
for its complete arrangements, which
must have required considerable
hard work.

Offenbach's comic opera in one

first piece presented last evening at
the Opera house. The audience was
not a large one. Miss. l.. Carmen

Gates, Alphonse, shoemaker, and
Mr.. Hamilton, Pierre. a blacksmith.
The three performers presented the
piece in very acceptable manner,
their singing being quite enjoyable.
A Duet between Alphonse and Pierre
was most deservedly encored, and
the last named had to repeat one of
his numbers. forbidden Fruit
was the concluding piece and as be-
fore caused much amusement.

an entertainment and social in the
Sunday schoolroom adjoining ST

pretty scene when lighted. A plat
form had been erected at the upper
end. The schoolroom was filled with
the young men and their friends
An interesting programme of Eng
lish and Hawaiian songs and recita
tions was rendered which gave
pleasure to the audience. The Rev
Mr.. Gowen made few remarks, anC
did everything to make it pleasant
for those in attendance. At the close
of the programme, refreshments con
sisting of ice cream and cake were
handed around The whole affair
was most successful, and credit t.
