San Francisco Getting Lower Rates.
SAN FRANcIsco, Aug. 12.-Operations of
the rival clipper line ships doing business
between here AID New York, have led to
large increase in freight shipments, both
east-bound and west-bound. Yesterday
the ship John Mcdonald cleared with
over . million pounds Of wine, canned
goods, dried fruit and merchandise, max
ing the fourth vessel for New York in
about six weeks. Three vessels-shs Tam
O'Shanter. NJ. #. Grace and Florence
are in port already for additional cargoes.
Under the rivalry Of the two competing
lines the seaboard rates have gone down,
and overland railroad rates on similar
classes of goods are marked for big re-
duction. An east-bound rate Of $3.50 q
ton on barley, canned goods, etc.. via
Cape Horn, is tie lowest rate ever quoted
for through shipments. and represents
Forty-two thousand tons are en- route from
New York at the practically open rate of
IS cents per 1D0 pounds, and Is. 900 tons
from Philadelpnia. The number of YES
sells loading or on the way are: ]. w.
Grace & Co., 8; Baifour & Guthrie, 2;
John Lock Mercantile Company, 2; and
the Sutton and California lines. With the
cut of about one-third in the rates mer-
chants feel disposed to patronize the ship
owners rather chan the railroads. It be-
came known yesterday that the traffic as
ISOLATION and . number of prominent
merchants havs subscribed $4,000 to
guarantee one CT the clipper lines against
any probable LOGS consequent ON low rates
by overland freight lines.

though in the second heat Kremlin lowered

Hickok sat behind Constantine. These were
the only two horses to start. Kremlin broke
badly III tue first heat, allowing Constantine
to snatch it away from him, but III the three
succeeding meats Constantine was hardly in
the race at all. The 2:4O event, Tyro stakes,
was horse race throughout, and, although
the judges gave the last heat and the race

opinion that the heat belonged to Pansy

THE RECORD WON'T GO.
Reasons Why JOhnson's Late Bicycle Rec
ords Will Be Declared Illegal.

ords Will Be Declared Illegal.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-[SpecidL 1.-The Racing
Board of the League of American Wheelmen
may not allow any of Johnsons records
because, forsooth, they were made with the
assistance of horse for pacing purposes.
The law reads that only such records as are
made without adventitious aids shall be
allowed by the board upon the proof being
submitted that the times are authentic.
According to the interpretation which
William c. Thorne. the local member of the
board, puts upon this rule the horse as a
pacemaker is an artificial aid to wnoelman
and therefore he thinks Johnson's claims
should not be sealed with approval. The
Minneapolis man applied fora place on the
roll of honor and doubtless will be as much
surprised as the body of wheelmen in gen.
eral to discover that though his perform
ances are unequaled they are not of record.
81 only give it as my personal opinion"
says Mr.. Thorne, "that the claims will not
be allowed. the other six members of the
racing board may disagree with me, but
nevertheless will contend that as we had
in former years to make special provision
for the acceptance of board track records,
and until we did so they did not go upon the
books, so we must decline to give johnson
record honors until we provide that the
horse may pace a man. Such provision muy
be made, but in the meantime l, for my
part, must confess that do not see how it
is possible to allow his records. There Is no
set of rules which absolutely governs the
granting of records. Circumstances ~regu-
late the action OF the board in such matters.
And yet apprehend that Johnson Will not
be much the gamer Tor his late trials How
ever, may be wrong. My associates may
think differently from me. A maj ority OF
the board will decide"

The Match Falls Through.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-[Speciot. 1.-The effort
made by the Executive Committee of th Q
Chicago Cricket Association to rearrange
the final inter-city championship match has
proven a failure. The original dates were
September and 10, but through a misund der
standing the games were not PLAYED. The
local committee then suggested October Z
and 8. Yesterday Thomas Wharton, the
Philadelphia Secretary. wired that he was
unable to get an eleven to visit Chicago and
the question of which is the champion city
for 1892 will therefore remain open. The
Quaker City men are SO wrapped up In their
home matches that rather than discommode @
themselves they prefer to let the final inter-
city fixture fall through. This action on
their part will do but little to advance the
cause of inter-city cricket, and cricketers
here will be glad to see a central committee
formed to manage these games so that each
city will have some voice in the matter and
be able to arbitrate upon all disputes.
