SANTA ANA.
Waiting to Hear from Silkwood A
Teacher Dismissed.
SANTA ANA, Nov. 23.-A telegram re-
ceived from Mr.. Willets, the owner of
Silkwood, this afternoon brings the
news that it is raining in Stockton, and
go the great PAGER can not go for record
on the kite-shaped track for several
days to come. With a record of BOYS
made in the slough city Saturday, the
owner of the horse is satisfied to wait
until the elements are favorable, and
send Silkwood against time again. Our
hat against grindstone that the PAGER
returns from the Stockton track with a
record of 2:O5 or better.
BASEBALL.
For city the size of Santa Ana, none
can claim better array of baseball tai
ent. This will be mustered out tomor-
row and the residents of this region will
be treated to some rare sport. The
local baseballists are enthusiastic over
the national game, and go on this
Thanksgiving day two games will be
played. The first will commence in the
morning, and will be between the print
ers and the clerks. Both mines are
made up of men from the respective oc-
cupations, and there is no need to say
that the record of errors and
runs will be large on both
sides. Windy" Harlan and
"Prizefghter" Joplin are the leading
lights in the printers nine, while "Foot-
racer" Hickey will do the principal hon.
ors for the counter jumpers. The
printers are favorites in the betting cir
cles.
In the afternoon a game will be con-
tested between the married men and
bachelors, and from the interest being
taken in the game the contest will be a
lively one.
There is no doubt, however, that
Santa Ana can organize one of the best
amateur baseball clubs in the state, and
we hope to see such an organization per-
fected at an early date.
FISHING AT NEWPORT.
Nine miles from Santa Ana is New
port, a landing where the coast boats
discharge and take freight, and also
excellent beach for bathing is found.
Old ocean pours her foam-capped waves
against the coast all the day long, too,
but these are not the only attractions
that Newport offers. Here it is that the
lone fisherman finds enjoyment, for the
finny tribe abound in the waters in and
around the place. In the misty fog that
prevailed this morning HERALD repre-
sentative, fishing rod in hand, appeared
upon the scene and enjoyed good days
sport. Probably no better fishing sta
tion can be found. During the past
month over $4,000 pounds of mackerel
and smelt have been shipped from New
port to outside towns, and the fishing
season has ust commenced.
COAL MINING.
1t may not be generally known that
in Orange county is located some of the
best coal fields in the country. Such,
however, is the case, and large quanti-
ties ofsuperior coal are being mined now.
In conversation with Joseph Yoch, one
of the proprietors of the Santiago coal
nine, located ten miles from this city,
the HERALD representative was informed
that the outlook for this mine was most
favorable. Ten to fifteen tons of coal are
being mined here every day, and the
supply is thought to be inexhaustible.
DEPUTysHIPs.
The way OF the office-seeker is hard,
and his path very thorny. Before cleo
ton, it is an effort to get elected, After
election, the successful candidates life
is made burden, by persons who desire
deputyship.
A FIGHT ON.
All is not serene in the relations ex-
listing between some of the school teach
ers in our public school, and in not very
elegant language fight is on. The city
board of education held its regular
monthly meeting last night, and after
transacting it's regular routine business,
small sized tempest came up, in a COM
munication received from Prof. G. W.
McGinnis, superintendent of the schools,
complaining of the inefficiency, insu-
bordination and unftnets of Mrs. V. H.
Golf, the teacher of the ninth grade.
The superintendent asked that for these
reasons the lady be dismissed. Mrs.
Golf had two friends in the board, and
when the matter was put to a vote,
three decided to dismiss and two
to retain, and the lady was
accordingly let out. Mrs. Mary Donald
son was put in charge of the room made
vacant by the dismissal, and Miss Della
Schropp of Los Angeles employed as
teacher of the seventh grade. Whether
the trouble will end here or not is
question of doubt, as Mrs. Golf is indig-
nant at the treatment received and COM
plains of not having chance to properly
present her case. 1t is an unfortunate
affair, and many regret the necessity of
losing the lady from the corps of teach
ers of our public school.

The medals and prizes won in the ath-
letic sports at the park the day Silkwood
