FALL RACING.
The Turf Club May Possibly Follow
the State Fair.
A Proposition to Give a Record Meet
ing In this City-Depends Upon
the Breeders.

"You need not be surprised to hear of
the Capital Turf and Driving Club giving
a fall meeting this year." said one of the
Directors of that organization to q re-
porter last evening.
''There has been considerable talk on
the subject of late" he continued, ''and
think it very likely that it will come to
head soon. The idea is to give what is
known as record meeting'-to give
breeders who did not get in on the cir
cults to give their horses 1891 records.
You see, it would be their last chance.
The talk now is to give it about month
after the State Fair races. 1t would not
interfere then with any other meetings.
If we can get out without losing money
we won't kick. 1t would bring money
to the city, and serve to keep up the in
terest in horse racing. Nothing will be
done, however, until we can hear from
sufficient number of breeders. If enough
of them will signify their willingness to
go in for records, to guarantee good meet
ing we will sail in. If not, we will drop
the matter. We would not like to lose
money on the meeting because we want
to have as big sack as possible for the
next spring meeting, which, allow me to
meeting ever given in Sacramento
do | think that the people will have
had enough after the State Fair races?
Why, bless you, no. Did you ever hear
of the people getting enough of horse
racing? Why, the State Fair races will
only whet their appetite for more. and
| nothing would be more welcome than a
record meeting such as we are con-
templating. l don't say, mind you, that
this matter has been definitely settled
upon. Not at all. 1t is only being
talked Of But / do say that if the club
gets sufficient encouragement from the
| breeders, it will be very likely to try the
xperiment-very likely indeed.
Record meetings as a rule are not very
expensive. There have not been very
many of them on the coast, but those that
have been tried, have, as far as have
| been able to learn, been very successful.
| think that Napa was the last place that
tried the record meeting experiment, and
! they gave the people fine show and
made money too. We don't care to make
money out of it. II we can play even we
will be satisfied. Our club will gain
through the advertising it will receive,
and through the confidence that the peo-
! pie will have in the organization-by
! virtue of the good, square racing that it
will afford. We will have meeting of
the directors shortly, and this subject
Will be discussed fully"

CAREY'S CAR LINES.

Their Owner is Still Negotiating for
an Electric Motor System.
r. S. Carey returned yesterday from
San Francisco, where he had been in
further consultation with electric motor
people relative to the proposed changing
of his horse-car system to one of electric
motor.
He says that agents of the different sys-
TENS will be here in few days to ex-
anime his lines, and he will then be
better able TO determine what he shall do.
One thing, however, is settled, and that
is that he will have his roads operated by
electricity within the time specified by
the City Trustees

Before presenting the diplomas to the
graduates Superintendent Hart could not
resist the temptation of saying a few
words to the class. He said the scene re-
minded him of the beautiful words of the
poet Shakespeare, that "all the world is a
stage and men and women are the play
ers." You" said he, "have passed one
of the acts il the drama of life-the act of
boyhood and girlhood. You now go
forth clothed in the garb of man and
womanhood to assume the places in the
several walks of life to which your moral
and mental attainments shall elevate you.
You are now to write your own histories,
and be careful that you let every line be
impressed with truth-truth that will al
low the closest scrutiny"
Addressing the audience, Mr. Hart told
them of the high standing the school oc-
cupied as an institution of learning, and
stated that graduate is admitted to the
State University without the slightest ex-
animation. Their diplomas are pass
ports sufficient to entitle them to become
students. He also referred To the neces-
sity of newer and larger High School.

A Brave Fellow.

A number of boys were skating and
sliding in Yorkshire. On sudden the
lee gave way almost in the middle Of
the lake aud one poor little fellow fell
III. There was no house near where
they could run for help; no ropes which
they could throw TO their struggling
companion. The boys stood on the
bank with pale. sorrowful faces. afraid
TO try to reach their friend, in case the
ice should give way aud swallow them
all up.
But one boy suddenly remembered
that although YOU cannot stand a board
upright on thin ice without its going
through. yet if you lay the same board
tla' on the ice it will be quite safe.
Not only that. but he knew that he
could run along the board without fear
OF cracking the ice.
1t only took him a moment TO re-
member all that 3; the next he spoke to
his friends something after this fashion
II will lie down fiat on the ice near
the edge: then one of you must come
to my feet and push me along till you
too can lie down. Ii you all lie down
in that way. and push the boy in front
Of you. We shall make line long
enough to reach Reuben"
Thus, taking the post of danger him
self, the brave boy was able by his
living rope to reach his friend. He
pulled him out, though he was not one
moment too soon, for he was so ex-
hausted with his efforts to keep his
head above water that he would very
soon have sunk .-London Telegraph.

Reading. Mass.
We have been promising ourselves
for the past few weeks that we would
write and tell the ELLSWORTH AMERI-
CAN how glad VIC were to see bis
familiar face on Friday evenings. Like
the face of an old friend, he comes to
tell us Of our childhood's home. We
eagerly look for familiar names hoping
we shall hear of some Of our old
school-mates' prosperity, and feeling
much pleased when we do. But we
find that many that we used to know
have gone to other States to seek their
fortunes 1--WE hope they have fund
them) and others have gone home to
the REST that remaineth." We have
been away from your city for good
many years, we hear Of many changes.
OF new industries, new societies, new
interests in your place. We are glad
to hear Of them, glad to know that the
place or places that people here call
'.way down east are more prosperous
this present winter than the over-worked
and crowded State of Massachusetts.
Business here this winter is very dull;
although TO all appearances there seems
to be good deal going on too. We
have two large shoe firms here besides
several small ones. but they are not
very busy ju~; now. There are two
"rubber-cloth manufactures" that are
doing Just a little. There are several
other small industries that have their
busy seasons. but this winter has been
their dull one The truth is, here there
is too little work and too many people.
We are twelve miles from Boston. and
the majority Of the people of this Gown
are well to do and make this their
place of residence while their business
inter, sts are in Boston. Ii is n beauti-
full place. There are some fine places
here, but it depends on Boston for its
amusements and all its life. This is
only resting place. We have had a
long cold winter SO far, cold for this
place il seem-, for We hear old rest
dents say: II haven't seen such cold
weather since lS5-" way back So far
ago that perhaps they are mistaken.

The Dying Horse.

Fall back! Fall back Give him room to
die!
Hard is the bed where he needs must lie
For his toilsome life this is the end.
Has he no master-no loving friend?
Is it here the old horse must welcome
death,
Where gaping crowd watches every
breath,
Under the mdsummers scorching sun?
Is this his reward for work well done?
How his limbs shudder. How his eyes
roll!
Seek they at last for plying soul?
Or only for quiet-quiet to die
In some lone valley green, where brook
gurgles by:
No; he knows nothing of l)ver fields cool,
Where cattle at MONDAY stand deep in the
pool.
He never wandered the pastures sweet
His roadway through life was the stony
street.
Cherished while work brought his owner
gain.
To strangers left in this hour OF pain;
Deserted now that his task is over;
Not for his old days are the fields of clover.
Not for him will the field lark sing,
Not for him tbs lush grasses spring;
Nor to him will libert, come,
In his tired old aye, in some country
home.
Here he must suiier-here he must die
| nder the midsummer's scorching SKY.
Him the broad shade tree will never WOO ::
lie has known but the pavement his whole
life through.
Still we in our Wanted pride ot soul
Conceive no future. no restful goal,
No ethereal pasture in regions best
Where the poor old horse may IN spirit
rest.

There is a Boy l can Trust.

We once visited public school. AT
recess a little fellow came up and
spoke TO the teacher as he turned TO
90 do vn The platform, the master said ::
That is boy can trust He never
failed me" We followed him with our
eye. aud looked at him when he took
his seat after recess. He had fine,
open. manly lace. We thought a good
deal about tue masters remark. What
character had that boy earned He
had already got what would be worth
more to him than fortune. L. would
he passport into the best store in the
city. and, what is better. into the con-
fdence and respect Of the whole com
munity We wonder if the boys know
how soon they are rated by other peo-
pie. Every boy in the neiehborhood is
known, and opinions are formed of
him; he has a character either favor
able or unfavorable. A boy Of whom
the master can say, II can trust him !;
he never failed me-" will never want
employment.
