KENT RACES POSTPONED.
II 1t Doesn't Rain Today There VIII BE
Great Sport.

kent, June Especial - The pro-
gramme of races arranged for today was
not carried out, being prevented by
showers which occurred at frequent inter-
vals At shutdown the skies cleared and
bright rainbow was formed, an indication
that tomorrow will be good day for the
races. The track will be sponged dry to-
night unless it continues to be stormy, and
to-day's programme will be carried out to-
morrow. The association has decided to
declare all of the races of that were pre-
viously arranged for Saturday. A number
of prominent citizens of Kent and lovers
ofracing stock met today and subscribed
purses for series of private races Sunday,
which will be the same as those that would
have been run tomorrow if the plans Of
the association had not been frustrated.
The same rate of fare will hold for Sum
day, and il is possible that an extra race
for purse of $500 will be added to the
regular programme. The indications are
that If there is fine weather the Sunday
turnout will be fully twice as large as that
OF the opening day.
A great many persons came out on the
early train today, and it was expected mo-
mentarlly that the skies would clear up III
time to 60 through with at least a portion
of the programme. The attendance would
have been fair even if the races had not
commenced until late, although many re-
turned on the next train after they arrived.
A force of men was held in readiness to
sponge the track whenever is should grow
fair. They will work tonight to have
everything in readiness for tomorrow's
meeting.

FATALLY HIT WITH A HArcHEr.
Sacramento woman's Skull Cayed in
by an Unknown Man.


SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 5.-Another
brutal crime was committed here last
night. Late this afternoon the police were
informed that woman had been assaulted
at house on Twenty-second street. Of
hcers went to the place and found woman
named Mrs. Spellnlan in bed in the house
of Mr.. Gehring.
The woman presented a horrible ap-
pearance. The skull over the left eve had
been carried away or crushed in, and the
brain protruded through the orifice. Her
face was covered with blood, and the right
eye was badly bruised. The woman sue
ceeded in telling the chief of police the
story of her injuries. She said she had
gone to bed last night, when about IL
O'Clock there was knock at the door.
She asked who was there, and a man re-
piled that they wanted whisky. Mrs.
Spellman said none was in the house, and
Immediately the door was burst in and
three men rushed in.
One OF them instantly struck her over the
left eye with heavy instrument, knock.
ing her senseless. The men ran as soon as
the blow was struck. The men were all
strangers to her, and she doe. not think
she could identify them. At 4 O'Clock this
morning, Mrs. Seuher, woman who was
sleeping in the kitchen of Mrs. Spellman' IS
house, heard groans and went to her aid.
She called Mrs. Gehring, and the woman
was borne to the latter's house. It is not
believed the woman can recover. She sep
arated from her husband some time ago on
account OF domestic troubles, but SAYS he
was not one OF her assailants. Chief of
Police Drew believes the wound was in
ficted with a Ratchet. There is no clue to
the assassins.

resulted in an incipient riot. The senior
