PATRIOTIC CHILRANS.
They Celebrate the Anniversary {
Their Country's Independence.

They Celebrate the Anniversary OF
Their Country's independence.
Yesterday was gala day among the
Chilean residents of this city, who cele-
brated in an appropriate manner and
with much spirit the anniversary of their
native country's independence.
The celebration took place on the levee
at Front and p streets, and was begun
by the firing of national salute OF
twenty-one guns at sunrise.
During the forenoon there was alternate
dancing and the singing of national songs,
with music by the Hussar Band. An
address was delivered by Antonio Mo-
rales, which was devoted wholly to the
events connected with the independence
of Chile. The speaker carefully avoided
any reference TO the recent political revo-
luton there, as it is a matter in which
Chileans hold diverse opinions and has
no relation to the event which was being
celebrated.
In the afternoon there was more dane
ing and refreshments, and at sundown
another salute was fired.
In the evening the patriotic sons and
daughters OF Chile gave ball at Y. NJ.
l. Hall which was largely attended. and
all were enjoying themselves when a
RECORD UNION reporter visited the hall.
The committee managing the affair
was: Antonio Herrera (Chairman), A.
Leiba, Domingo Raus, John T. Rivas,
A. N. Morales, G. Cifuenpes and +.
Martinez.
The day and evening passed off pleas
antly and to the satisfaction of sall the
participants. The best of order was
maintained throughout.

HAD A TINE"
Georgia Dingley of This City in Jail
at San Francisco.
The Daughter of the Spice Man and
Her Young Step-Mother En-
joy Themselves.

Georgia Dingley, the 16-year-old daugh-
ter of n. Dingley, the spice man of this
city, is in jail in San Francisco.
In referring to the matter last even
ing's issue of the Post says: About two
weeks ago she left the Capital City in
care of her young and prepossessing
step-mother, the two pretending to come
to this city to attend funeral. Mr..
Dingley, the father of the girl, is man
close to 40 years Of age, and he thought
she was perfectly safe in the hands of the
step-mother
Upon their arrival the pair went on q
painting expedition. Fora while they
lodged at 5534 Minna street, but they
shortly left that plebeian retreat and took
up their abode in the ultra stylish
Iodging-house known as the General
keyes. After reveling under that lux
urlant roof few days they again pur-
sued their nomadic course and engaged
rooms in the Melville House.
Yesterday in spirit of wild adventure
tho step-mother and the fair daughter
struck out for pastures new, and found
the place they were looking for in house
of shady reputation located on Sutter
street and Central avenue. While in the
establishment scene of hilarity was in
augurated, the pair cutting up wild
pranks, much TO the amusement of a
motley throng of men and boys who as
sembled.
Meanwhile information was filed with
the Police Department of the conduct of
the girl, and ut l O'clock this morning
Oincer Anthony went to the house where
the mother and girl were celebrating
Georgia was taken into custody and
locked mp on charge of vagrancy.
At the City Prison she assumed a care
less air. The father was telegraphed and
will be down to look after his child to-
night. The case was called in Police
Court Three this morning, and put over
until tomorrow.

THE LADY RIDERS.
Mrs. Trefry of This City Awarded the
First Prize.

First Prize.
Yesterday was the day set for the con-
Guiding tests of skill among lady riders,
and by 10 O'Clock in the forenoon all the
available space in the vicinity of the
stands was occupied. The attendance
was almost equal to that of Wednesday,
when the balloon race took place.
There was some delay, and it was IL
O'Clock before the riders appeared on the
track. The contestants were: Miss
Frances McClannahan, Sacramento: Miss
May Miller, Grass Valley; Miss MAY
Lemay Sacramento; Miss Delilah Lock-
hart, Courtland; Miss Grace Dixon, Sac
ramento; Miss Genevieve Henry, Sacra-
mento; Miss Edith Bradley, Sacramento:

ramento; Miss Bessie Quarles, Sacra-
mento; Mrs. Trefry, Sacramento: Miss
Mabel Bradley, Sacramento; Miss Mabel
Fay, Sacramento; Miss Melinda Foss,
Sacramento.
The ladies went through the same tests
as on the first day-Tiding past the
judges stand at different rates of speed,
fitting, hurdle-leaping. etc. There was
not poor rider in the list. and the direc-
tors had considerable difficulty in arrjv-
ing III Il AtCiSkDL dS 10 lHG proper QlSLFl-
button of the prizes.
An old topper is said to have once re-
marked that there was no poor whisky
some brands were better than Others but
it was all good. So it was with the field
of competitors yesterday-some were
better riders than others, but they were
all experts,
Some were favored by having horses
that did not balk nor finch when called
upon to approach the fitting cranes or the
hurdle, and it has become a recognized
fact that a lady who hopes to secure q de-
sirable place in the list of competitors at
the awarding of prizes must have the
best horse obtainable, and he must be
practiced at the kind OF work required in
these contests.
Among the spectators various opinions
were expressed concerning the merits OF
the several riders, each of whom had adj
mirers who would have awarded the high
est prizes 10 their favorites. The judges,
however, selected the following:
Mrs. Trefry, first; Miss Reichling,
second; Miss Henry, third; Miss Lemay,
fourth; Miss Dixon, fifth; Miss Stebbins,
sixth; Mrs. Collier, seventh; Miss Brad
ley. eighth; Miss Miller, ninth; Miss
Eoss, tenth; Miss AfcClannahan, eleventh.
For misses under sixteen, Miss Klemp
received first prize; Miss Fay, second;
Miss. Quarles, third; Miss Bradley,
fourth.
The special prize of $50 for expert rid
ing was awarded TO Miss Lemay.

GRAPE-GRowING IN EUROPE.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Edward S. Clay

from European tour, said in an inter
view: 81 travelled through all the famous
grape-growing sections of Spain, Italy,
France and Germany, and [ am con-
vinced inside of ten years the Old World

most entirely for its supply of first-class
wines. / had read good deal about
devastation among the European vine
yards, caused by phylloxera and other
diseases of the vine, but had no conceL.
ton how completely paraiyzed the grape
growing industry is until I made the
trip. In France and Italy nearly three
fourths of the vineyards have altogether
been wiped out by phylloxera within five
years, and the remaining one-fourth
acreage is rapidly succumbing to the
plague. Five years ago Spain produced
six times the amount of grapes harvested
from last years crop, and the situation in
Germany is as bad. 1t will not be long
before the United States will lead the
world in the production of grapes and
wine.

Entertainment Given by the Pas.

The Pastime Athletic Club gave an exhi-
biton at its new quarters, 100 Stevenson
street. last night, and it was well attended.
The club starts out with every prospect of
prosperity, and the membership is increas-
ing very rapidly. The first event was a
three-round bout with gloves between Con
Lyons Jr. and Young King. two clever
boys. Following, Joe King the attenuated
lad who went down at the California Club
on Wednesday evening before Ed Conley,
spared three rounds with T. Brislin. King
had not forgotten his late experience, and
was so very shy that he made very tame
exhibition. j. w. Gregan and Joe Mitchell
wrestled, catch-as-eatch-can, and F. r. Hart
gave an exhibition of club-swi nging, which
three set-tos between obscure boxers, and
they seemed to afford no end of amusement
for the spectators.

Fish Commission, says that he is not in
clned to place any faith in the reported
killing OF fish with dynamite by certain
fishermen on the Marin County shore. 1T

killed in that way are not fit to eat. The
