Evening Session.

The Senate held "a high old'' session in
the evening. There was nothing to do
except to receive reports from the En-
rolling Committee, and the Senators ali
seemed to be 'ioaded"-for fun, OF course
The gallery, lobby and seats inside the
rail were 1illed with ladies and gentle
men, and for an hour and a half the
chamber was kept in an uproar of APP
pl&use and laughter, produced by the
humorous character of resolutions offered
and personal hits. AS soon as Lieuten-
ant-Governor Reddick had called the
mob TO order he called out:
Proceed with the first reading filer'
When the first burst of laughter had
subsidized, Mr.. Brodericl< offered resolu-
ton requiring the Sergeant-atArms to
ship to each Senator, after adjournment
his desk, chair and other Senatorial in
gradients, including his waste basket and
contents.
Referred to a committee of one, consist
ing of Mr.. NIahoney.
Mr.. MCGOWAN introduced a bill, by
unanimous dissent, providing for the
appointment OF q Most Worshipful Grand
Exalted Inspector of Pies, and further
providing that no proprietor of a restau-
rant shall set before customer piece of
pie less than eight inches square and
three fourths of an inch in depth.
The Chair-"All that have not had
enough to eat during the session will
please say aye!
"Ail opposed no, The ayes have it. and
the bill goes to the bottom of the second
reading file"
Mr.. Maber presented a message from
the Third House tChauncey Clark
Speaker, providing for the appointment

The Chair-''The resolution is adopted,
and Senator Broderick is appointed a
committee of one to eXtinguish all the

lMr. Ostrom in the chair
Mr.. Campbell-'I call up the Mckinley
BILL"
Mr.. Maher-'I second the motion of
Senator McGinty."
The Chair-"Out of order-the Mckin-
ley bill is dead" [Laughter.l
Mr.. Goucher rose to a question of priv
ilege. and asked that the resolution re-
guessing the Governor to appoint Senator
Campbell as Admiral of the new naval
battalion
Just then some person touched match
to bunch of fire-crackers behind the
Secretary's desk, and for about minute
ii seemed as if Chinese New Years eel
ebration was in progress.
When the racket and the applause and
laughter which it provoked had ceased, a
communication was received from the
Acknowledgement in reply to the resolu-
ton requesting his opinion as to whether
or not the members OF the Legislature
were entitled to a per diem for the time
they were in session in electing United
States Senator, resolution to pay the
same being before the Senate.
The communication stated in effect that
the Acknowledgement had not had suffi-
cient time in which to examine all the au-
thorities on the question, but would be able
to render an opinion in a few days. He
thought the equities We're in favor. of the

older professional.
A liberal contribution was then taken
up for the little fellow.
CLOSING BUSINESS.
A committee of three CHeacock, De-
Long and MeadD, was then appointed by
the Chair, to act III conjunction with a
like committee from the Assembly, to
wait upon the Executive and ascertain if
he had any further business to transact
with the Legislature.
The committee returned and reported
that the Executive had no further COM
munications to send to the Senate.
On motion of Mr.. Fraser a committee
of three was appointed to inform the AS
sembly that the Senate was ready to adj
journ sine die. The Chair named Messrs.
Fraser, Ragsdale and Britt.
On motion of Mr.. Heacock, the thanks
of the Senate were unanimously rendered
to the President, President pro tenn. and
officers and attaches for the faithful dis
charge of their duties.

SPRING RACES.
They viii Take Place During the First
Week in May.
Success Is Already Assured-Prospec
of Plenty of Entries-Sufiicient
Money In Sight.

The Capital City Turf Club held
another meeting last evening at the
Golden Eagle Hotel, J. w. Wilson pre-
siding.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to canvass the city for contri-
buttons for the proposed spriug races, re-
ported that it had met with fattering sue
cess. The merchants and citizens had
come forward literally, and now the
spring meeting could be counted on with
a certainty. The club has now some
thing like $1,000 in sight, and is not
through canvassing yet.
FIRST WEEK IN MAY.
After the report had been heard and the
meeting was known to be certainty,
the date for the commencement of the
races was discussed. After considerable
figuring it was agreed that the races
should follow closely upon the blood
horse races in San Francisco, and after
some further figuring it was decided to
open up on Tuesday, the 5th of May.
There will be five days of racing. The
first day will be devoted exclusively to
running, the second to trotting and pac-
ing, the third to running; fourth, trot-
ting and pacing, and the fifth to little
of everything.
THE PROGRAMME.
Chairman Wilson appointed as a COM
mittee on speed programme Wilbur
Smith, +. P. Lowell and T. E. Heating.
This committee was instructed to pre-
pare the programme, arrange the purses,
name the stakes, ETC.. and report at the
next meeting of the club. which will be
next Monday evening. The committee
will have about 81 600 to divide up.
Committees on advertising, park, tick
cts, etc., will be appointed at the next
meeting.
The members of the club are jubilant
over the prospects and are more than
confident of an unusually successful
meeting.
The organization is composed of ener-
getic and enthusiastic turfmen, who do
not as rule fail in any of their enter
prises. There will be no lack of entries
for the meeting, as there are probably
more horses in training In this city, San
Francisco, San Jose, Stockton and other
places near by at the present time than
for many years. With this assured there
is little to fear as regards the attendance.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Assemhlyman Doty felt a pleasant
glow OF warmth in the region of his heart
yesterday tlorning when he found upon
his desk II beautiful souyenir-a hand

/ branch Of ripe, red cherries with their
foliage, framed in gold and bearing the
following note:

Among the bills lett to languish in OBJ
security ana die Of inanition in the seclu-
sion Of the Sergeaut-at-Arrns' room is the
"Woman's Suffrage BILL" for which a
small but plucky 'toriorn hope has
worked faithfully, i'll season and out, and
winch but short time Ggo came to the
Assembly from the Senate with al the
blushlng honors of success thick upon it,

| bly, yesterday that Riverside had been
found snothored in waste basket, and
an artistic Assemblyman circulated an
original cartoon showing glimpses of the
bill through the lattice-woril of a basket,
with the epitaph WASTED Away"
In the RECoRD-UNIoN's synopsis, pub
lished yesterday, Of the report Of the
waste-baslSet Investigating committee, an
error was made which placed upon q ma
teriai point a construction that was di-
rectiy contrary to the intention of the
committee. The report stated:
That Assemblymen Dibble and Marion
each stated that a portion of the papers
found there containing the names of GER
tain Assemblymen written OF the brown
Manila paper mot the strips covering the
currency, were left there by Them" etc.
The reporter failed to catch the word
mot" as read by the Secretary: hence
the published report made it apnear that
the committee had found that the currency
wrappers were left in The library by
Messrs. Dibble and Marion, which was
not the case.

THANKS TO REPUBLICANS.
Mr.. Goucher secured the attention of

been shown him. He had been told that.
owing to the overwhelming Republican
majority, he would not be able to accom-
plish much for his Democratic .constit-
uency; but the contrary had been the re-
suit, for every bill, the passage of which
had been asked by his people, had re-
ceiyed the sanction of the Senate For
the many acts of kindness he had re-
ceiyed, he experienced deep-felt appre-
citation. [Applause.l
