SANTA ANA, Nov. 20.-For the past
three weeks the sports of this city have
been on the uui vive to hear from James
Quirk, the champion Canadian foot
racer, who wrote that he had left
Chicago for Los Angeles, where he
wished to meet Tom @. Morris OF Santa
Ana and arrange race for rs yards.
Morris met Quirk in race at that dis
tance about two months ago at Albu-
uueruue, New Mexico, and defeated him
by two yards in fast time. The Cana
dian was not satisfied and Immediately
left for his native country, where he se-
cured new backer. They stopped at
Denver and defeated crack runner for
q $4,000 purse and have undoubtedly
stopped at other points as they have
been about three weeks on the road.
Last night Morris received telegram
from Quirk saying he was in Los Angeles
and would be pleased to have Tom come
up and sign articles Of agreement and
post forfeit for race. Morris left for
the Angel city on this mornings train
and will do all in his power to bring
about the match. Quirk claims to hold
the record at 75 yards, the distance he
prefers to run. Our man is not particu-
lar about the distance, anywhere from 25
yards to one-quarter of mile. Morris
has done some very fast work here, and
hopes to defeat the Canadian. The
formers best time given out was 10
seconds, made in his match with Tre-
none Dobbins, for 100 yards. He also
made 10 seconds in trial with pace
maker at Riverside on July 4th last. II
the match is arranged it will take place
either in Los Angeles or this city, the
latter preferred by Morris. Should the
race be made at 100 yards it will be run
better than 10 seconds, while the 75
yards will be covered close to seven and
One-half seconds.
BORN ON A TRAIN,
Last evenings overland on the Santa
Fe route brought number of passengers
to this city who were on the ill-fated
train that was wrecked at Albuquerque
Thursday last. j. N. Smith and Mr..
and Mrs. Martin were on the section
that escaped the wreck and we're not
be learned passed through town en-
route to Oceanside. She had suffered
fracture of the right ankle, and had to
be carried from one car to another when
the car she had been riding in was side
tracked at this depot.
In the last car of the overland was
Cecil Griffin, child and husband, of
Sommerville county, Kan. Mrs. Griffin
was slightly bruised on the right hip.
While passing through the Cajon pass
the child was born, and by stroke of
good luck physician was found on
board the train. The trainmen side
tracked the car when it reached this
depot, as it was thalady's destination.
Her mother, Mrs. Campbell, two sisters
and brother reside in this city. The
mother and babe were removed to J. W.
McIntosh's residence, on North Main
street, when physician of this city was
summoned. At last accounts ! the
mother and child were resting easy and
felt none the worse for their rough trip.
sILKwooD's NEW RECORD.
When private telegram was received
and posted in the Brunswick lobby from
J. Willis at Stockton stating that Silk
wood had succeeded in lowering his
record to 2:071a, the crowd assembled
could not contain themselves, but broke
out in one long cheer. There was not
single person present but what felt con-
fdent that the pride of Or
ange county can lower that
mark considerably. Mr.. Willis said
. strong wind was blowing that impeded
his progress to some extent. The horse
will be sent again Wednesday. If every
thing is favorable, look out for the worlds
stallion record, 2:051a. The first half
mile yesterday was not as good as he
made here by half second, but faster
time was not expected as he only reach
ed Stockton Thursday, and had not re.
covered from the effects of the long
ride. A letter received from J. Willis
last evening states that he was thrown
from street car and knocked insensi-
