FOUR YEARLINGS.
Porter Ashe Thinks They Need a
Change.

After the Ashe brothers removed Geral-
dine on Sunday from her present quarters
at the Bay District Track, a step which was
not taken on the spur of the moment, but
after deliberate consultation with General
Barnes and Ryiand b. Wallace, who are
their legal advisers in their differences with
Kelly and I. Williams, the question of the
four yearlings remained 10 be considered.
The youngsters were included with the
mare in the document. Kelly received from
Ashe last year and have been for some time
past in Sacramento in charge Of John Wall.
a trusted boy Of Ashes. The yeariugs are
probably considerably more valuable than
Geraldine as they are all we'll bred and we'll
grown. They consist of b. c. by Alta
Merrilee. full brother to Don Fulano; b. C.
by Alts-Smilex, full brother to Sir:ReeI; b.
c. by Alta. dam by Saxony, full brother to
Alta Milo. and b. c. by Alta Charlotte, full
brother to Thermidor and Dinero. all win
ming strains.
Porter Ashe left for Sacramento on SUM-
day evening. and on his arrival at the capt.
tai found the youngsters in Walls charge,
although 1t is understood Williams had IN
structed Ed Smith TO get possession Of them
next day. The little fellows were at once
trucked, and at an early hour this morning
were journeying to fresh woods and pas
lures new"
Don Fulano, in whom Kelly bought a
half interest for $500 some months ago, Is
now the only one missing from the Ashe
string. He would have also been at Sacra-
mento had Mr.. Kelly telegraphed to Wall
on Thursday night to send the Don down.
The boy at Sacramento knew nothing of
any trouble, and being accustomed TO obey
kelly's orders promptly shipped the horse
to the city. and he Is believed to be located
in some livery stable IN town. He Is heavily
entered In rich stakes in the East the
American Derby among other events. and
Williams has the other interest, it is pro b.
able the horse will be sold at auction to dis
solve the partnership.
Duffy. Ashes boy WHO had charge of
Geraldine, continues in the employ OF the
Maltese Villa stable. and is looking after the
rest Of the string at the Bay District Track.
Ii is stated that ether parties besides
Williams are interested in the acquisition OF
Geraldine, and that for a long time back
people in the East have been anxious to get
hold of her. A well-knewn Australian
bookmaker, who was recently plying his
vocation in Chicago. Is said to have been Ia
communication with Kelly on the subject
for some time.
A Liberal supply of heavy clothing was
sent ont TO the mares quarters on Satur-
day, which seems to indicate that California
was to lose the famous sprinter altogether
and that her destination was q much colder

There Is trouble In the California Club

1t appears that when Dobbs signed

Australia, 1t was stated Ia the agreement
that the men must weigh In 1T 3 O'Clock on
the afternoon Of the evening Of the mill.
Barron was not aware Of this fact until

The question Of the time OF weighing still

not have an exhibition this month.
To add to the clubs troubles, Charley
OMalley and Billy Robinson have flied suits
against the organization for monsy that is

the suits against the club.

Gustavus Steinberg, western coin
dealer, recently received a collection of ex-
ceedinely curious coins, which it is pro
posed to exhibit at the Worlds fair. They
came from Sweden, where they circulated
in the Sixteenth century. They bear more
esemblance to pieces of boiler iron after
an explosion than money The coins are
great fiat pieces of copper cut into very
poor squares. The smallest is four inches
square and worth thirty cents, and the
largest over a foot square and with a face
value of four dollars.
Each slab is stamped in several places
with an inscription giving it's date of issue
and it's denomination. The largest weighs
over four pounds.
These enormous and cumbersome coins,
says the Columbus (O.) Sun, were the re-
suit of an absurd craze which prevailed
several hundred years ago regarding the
exclusive use Of copper for money. 1t car
ried the coinage of copper to absurd
lengths, and the people discarded its use.
In those days of copper coinage wealthy
leases were compelled to hire an attendant
to accompany them to carry bucketful
of the coppers while shopping. The Suns
statement regarding the origin of these
coins differs somewhat from that which
has heretofore been current among numis-
matists, and is therefore interesting.
