The Great Foot Race-Steamers Touch
ing at Newport.
SANTA ANA, Nov. 27.-Sporting circles
in this city were gratiied today by
learning of the completion of the details
for the 75-yard race between Morris and
Quirk at the Brunswick hotel parlors
last evening. The articles of agreement
and the first posting of $4,000 were made
in bona fide manner that indicates a
fair race. The event will take place at
the fair grounds December 10th, when
the final stake money will be posted. J.
G. Hickey of this city has consented to
act as stake holder. The $4,000 posted
last evening has been turned over to
him, while the remainder OF the stakes,
$4,000, will be placed in his hand when
the agreed time arrives. The articles
are binding and are very explicit in sew
eral points, such as starting, running off
possible tie in Is minutes after the
same might occur, and the forfeiture OF
all money posted should either party fail
to appear on day Of race. Quirk re-
turned last evening to Los Angeles,
where he will train until week before
the race, when he will come to this city.
track near town, as he has been doing
the past month. Both men will toe the
mark in the pink of condition, if one
can Judge from present appearances.
Quirk lays his defeat at Albuquerque by
Morris to lack of training, and says he
feels confident of winning this match.
INCREASED PASSENGER TRAFFIC.
The destruction of the wharf at Re-
dondo has greatly increased business on
the Santa Ana and Newport railroad the
past week. To handle all the freight
landed at their wharf they have been
compelled to make several extra trips.
The steamship Los Angeles arrived at
the pier this morning at 3 O'Clock and
discharged large cargo of freight and
passengers. The Newport Railroad
company broke its heretofore inf1exible
rule of not running trains over the road
on Sunday by sending a special down
after the passengers at a. M, return
ing about O'Clock. The new schedule
of the Santa Fe went into effect today,
30 the passengers whose destination was
Los Angeles were compelled to remain
in town till II o'clock. The freight will
be brought to this city and transferred
to the Santa Fe route, which will send
it to it's destination.
Tomorrow the Santa Rosa will touch
at the Newport wharf with passengers
for Los Angeles. San Bernardino and
Orange counties. The injury to the Re-
dondo wharf has been boon to this
county, as there has always been a
doubt in regard to the safe landing of
large vessels at Newport. This accident
proves that deep sea vessels can safely
anchor at our pier while discharging
and loading cargoes, and thus adds to
our freight shipments and enterprise.
