TWO SACRAMENTO GIRLS.
Their Musical Ability-Departure fo
EurOne to Study.

lHelf MUSICAL ADll1ty-Departufe Tor
Europe to Study.
IF the list of Sacramentans who have
won distinction in oratory, drama and
song were published, it would stretch
out to proud length. Among the latest
who have been recognized abroad as
possessing musical ability of fine order
is Miss Gertrude Carley-Auld. Last
winter the RECoRD-UNIoN had occasion
to quote from the San Francisco press
tlattering criticisms Of the young lady's
musical success in that city. These
notices fully justified the forecasts that
had been made in this city of her ability.
The Los Angeles ETprcSS of the 9th of
April says that at Professor Racon's con-
cert in that city, on the Friday preced-
ing, Miss Gertie Carley-Auld won instant
recognition 'as musical phenomenon"
The paper then refers TO the story of the
life of the singer, well known here; the
loss of her parents while she was an in
fant; her life III the Protestant Orphan
Asylum of Sacramento. where her
natural vocal gifts were discovered: her
finding a home with Mrs. Carley of this
city, who raised her; the development of
her musical powers and her now con-
templated departure for Europe for muSi-
cal study.
1t appears that she is ind ,bted to the
kindness OF Mrs. n. Heyman, until re-
Gently of sacramento, for the opportunity
to go to Europe. Miss kittie Heyman, a
native Of Sacramento, is q pianist Of fine
ability and great promise. She is to go to
Europe in q short time to complete her
studies, and Mrs. Heyman has arranged
for Miss Aud to accompany her.
Miss Aud stated to the Express reporter
that she was under obligations to many
friends, and it is known here that she re-
tnr 70. Al
number who have taken an interest in
and assisted her musical development.
The people Of Sacramento Will watch
the course of Miss Heyman and Miss
Aud with great interest, and expect each
of them 70 attain high rank i'll music un-
der the advantages they will enjoy for
study abroad.
Both young ladies are of amiablc dis
position and gentle manners, and by their
modest course and ste ling worth have
won the esteem and aifectiOnate interest
OF very large circle of people in Sacra-

A CARBONDALE ROW.
The Conflict in the Board OF DirectO
Sharp Tactics.

Ihe Conflict III the Board OF Directors
Sharp Tactics.
There has been a lively time in the di-
rectOry OF the CarbOndale Company at its
rooms in San Francisco. A large num-
Der of Sacramento people are interested
in the property, and some of the Direc-
tors reside here. Recently the company
was reorganiZed, and new Board of Di-
rectors elected. a minority Of this board
has excited the suspicion Of the majority.
Their conduct Of affairs did not appear to
be exactly straight 10 the majority, and
there were run1ors that the Secretary and
President had not turned over the pro-
ceeds Of u recent assessment to the Treas
urer.
y regular meeting of the directory was
called for last Monday, but the officers
specified no hour at which it was to be
held. The majority of the board con-
cluded that it would be 10 o'clock and so
notified the President, w. y. kecier. and
Secretary +. l.. Aiken. At O'Clock,
however, the minority met and ad-
journed the meeting for Il month. Two
of the majority found notices 10 attend at
8 in their office letter boxes, after the
hour had passed.
The majority then met at 10 o'clock
with their attorney, Add. G. Hinkson, to
advise them, and proceeded to do busi-
ness.
In the meantime the Secretary, Mr..
Aiken, coming in, was asked to act us
Secretary OF the meeting. This he did.
after opening the safe to get out the
books to make some transfer Of stock.
AS che business proceeded a motion
passed to oust the Secretary. He there
upon sprang forward to close the safe,
but was held back forcibly, and the ma
jority at once possessed itself Of the books
and papers in the receptacle.
Law suits, it is said will grow ont of
the difficulty, buC the majority expresses
itself as confident that it can maintain it.
self: that the company cannot be run by
a minority with the majority of the di-
rectory ignored.
The property, the latter say, is valua-
bic, and they suspect that the minority
was proceeding to work the old game of
freezing out the majority. The latter
say that there shall be fair play, and that
when the books are exported and the ac-
counts Strengthened out every stock hold
er'sright shall be protected.

The Expelled Committeeman.

EDS. RECoRD-U UNION: Some persons
who are making themselves very con-
spicuous in connection with the recep-
ton of the President are well known for
their Check but they have outdone
themselves this time. Who ever before
heard of minority of a subcommittee
getting together and eXpelling the major
ity? At large meeting of citizens the
Mayor was authorized to appoint q COM
mlttee of one hundred gentlemen to act
as Reception Committee on the arrival
of the President. The committee was
duly appointed. Last night twenty-four
of the gentlemen met and voted TO eN-
clude the other Seventy-SiX from partici-
patton in the reception. because they
were not present ut the meeting, no Off
cial notice of which had been given.
concede that If the general Executive
Committee had decided to drop the names
OF the SeVenty-SiX gentlemen from tho
committee, because they had not been
active in the preparations it would have
had perfect right TO do so, but no such
power resided in the subcommittee.
The gentlemen who Were insIited by this
big 2P' were appointed TO assist in re-
ceiving the President by the same author
ity that appointed the twenty-four and
they still have the same right to act. II
there was still time they should hold
meeting, giving due notice Of same
(Which was not done in the case referred
to), and, being q large majority of the
committee, shOCld administer Il fitting
rebuke TO this arrogant, salf-suflicient
and dOminecring big 24.'

\ Good suggestion.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Please allow
space to submit a suggestion as to the
most effective way Of decorating the State
Capitol for the Presidents reception on
Saturday. My plan is this: Stretch four
lines of streamers from the lantern of the
dome TO the corner entrances of Capitol
Park on Tenth, Twelfth and L. and Tenth,
Twelfth and y streets, respectively; then
two lines from each Of the Eleventh
street entrances to the lantern. My taste
for the streamers would be red, white and
blue p6nnants for the corner streamers,
and small American flags, intcrspersed
with red, white and blue pennants for the
Elevcnth-street lines. Then, with Il
large-sized American flag hoisted at the
head of the Capitol flagstaff. with two
small lines of streamers depending 10 the
front cOrnice, and you would produce the
grandest and most striking flag decora-
tive effect yet seen OF the coast. This
plan is simple, inexpensive, and readily
accomplished. n. X. $.

COMPLETING ARRANGEMENTS.
The Executive Committee Holds
Another Lively Meeting.

The Executive Committee Holds
Another Lively Meeting.
The Executive Committee having
charge of the Presidential reception. held
another meeting at Pioneer hall last even
ing for the purpose of completing the
arrangements. Mayor Comstock pre-
sided and there was an unusually large
attendance.
Messrs. Leake and Douglass of the sub
committee on carriages appeared before
the committee for information and in
structions in regard to their duties.
Mr.. Leake spoke of the necessity OF
placing the carriages and deciding who
is to occupy them. 1t had first been
stated. he said, that the ladies of the
Presidential party were to occupy car
riages and now he understood from some
of the newspapers that they were not to
be included.
General Sheehan suggested that Mr..
Coleman read the programme as to the
arrangements of the carriages. The Cen
eral also stated for the benefit Of Mr.
Douglas that the Reception Committee
would be located at the Capitol grounds
to have fun charge there-and would have
nothing 10 do with anything else.
Mr.. Coleman explained that no official
announcement of the programme had as
yet been made by the Executive Com
mittee, that work having been deferred
until the meeting then in progress.
Mayor Comstock had signified his inten-
ton Of giving way and allowing Governor
Markham to act as the Presidents escort,
but this would not be necessary, as the
Governor had suggested that il would be
more proper for the Mayor TO escort the
President to the Capitol, and for him (the
GovernOrJ 10 receive him there.
ARRANGING THE CARRIAGES.
+oI hot N

places OF the members of the Presidential

RECORD BREAKERS
Phenomenal Time at the San Francisco
Races Yesterday.

PhenOmcnat lime at the san francisco
Races Yesterday.
Turf circles in this city were consider
ably excited last night over the marvel
Gus performance of Tom Williams colt.
RinfaX, yesterday in his race with Porter
Ashes speedy mare Geraldine. The dis
tance was six and one-half furlongs, and
the Palo Alto-bred colt showed his heels
to the great mare, which was thought to
be too fast for almost anything in the
shape of a horse for any distance well
under mile.
Geraldine holds the half-mile record
(O:46), but Rinfax yesterday made new
record for the distance run-six and one
half furlongs, which he covered in l:20l.
Hotspur also broke the record yester-
day at one and three-quarter miles, which
he made in 3:00s, carrying III pounds,
while the record is 3:0l, made in 1882 at
Saratoga, by Glidelia, years old and
carrying 1l6 pounds. This latter time
was equaled yesterday by the three colts
that competed with Hotspur, they run
ming dead heat in SOL for second place.
Ii these fast ones should come to the
post here next week, those who attend
the Capital Jockey Clubs meeting will
see the finest racing ever witnessed.

JAS. w. BUTLER, 1921 N street, city.
Because OF the custom OF sending peo-
pie on foolish errands on that day-a
practice common throughout Europe.
Orientalists say it is derived from tha
ti.ji feast, among the Hindoos, where q
similar custom obtains. Others hold that
il comes from the sending Of Christ to
