SPORT IN CHILE.
=" Barro," the Dangerous Pastime in
Which Horsemen Participate.
London Tit Bits


The national pastime of Chile is the "barro,"
which is played by the huascos. or Chilean
horsemen. who are splendid riders. AT every
wayside drinking shop there is d range Of posts
supporting long rail, TO which the horses are
tethered. Whenever few huascos meet,
wager for drinks is sure TO be pu. up. Then
sides are chosen. and he leaders first take
their places on horseback side by side, each
with his horses chest close up TO the bar. The
others mount and range themselves on each
side III the same position. Then the game be-
gins.
The object of each side IL TO force its way
along TO the further end Of the bar against the
opposition OF the other party. Each closes
sideways with all his might and digs his huge
rowels into his horses sides To keep his chest
close TO the bar until they drop blood and the
cruel bits are jerked viclousy. Yells of ex-
element and age break from the players as
the pressure increases. and their legs are
crushed between the horses. The spectators
are equally excited. Even the horses
seem TO lake an Intelligent. part In the
struggle, aud well-trained mount will
frequently Gust rival from his place. Prog
ress along the bar is, however, very slow, and
when there are as many as thirty or forty
picked players aside, whole day may be spent

Auditor Broderick received letter from
Sacramento yesterday. 1t relates 10 the
request of the Board of Supervisors of this
city for an extension of time in which to
equalize the personal property roll.
The letter s.as follows:

To the auditor Of the City aud County Of
San Francesca: l, Charles Nj. Colgan. clerk o
the State Board of EQUALIZATION, do hereby GER
made by the state Board OF Equalization and
en- cred upon its minutes:
sit is hereby ordered that the time OF the

upon assessments OF personal properly be and
the same is hereby extended for two weeks.
from The fourth Monday OF June 10 the second

And it is further ordered that The time for tie

Monday, the oath day Of July, 1898, and that
the Tax Collector may have until the third

CHARLES NJ CoLGAN.

Auditor Broderiek examined the law on
the subject and found that the personal
property of the city and county was col
leeted under the statute of 1874, which has
never been repealed. while the real estate
eminent act Of 1889.
There is no provision NJ az in the statute
of 1874 for the State Board of EqualZa-
ton to extend the Supervisors lima as
equaliZers of the assessment roll
10 the act of 1889. however. there is the
following:
Section 37O5. The State Board of Eoualiza-
ton may, by an order entered upon its minutes,
and certified TO the County Auditor of any
county, extend for not exceeding thirty days,
he N ia W he m rfn anna
of any act.
AS there is 10 mention of any such ex-
tension in the statute of 1874, the Auditor
claims that the State Board OF Equalization
has o right 10 interfere in the matter at
all in relation to ali extension.
The Board of Supervisors, however,
after receiving the dispatch announcing
that it had been granted an extension
came to the conclusion thatit mad not been
properly granted, and held caucus on
the subject
Supervisor Rogers argued against the
legality of the extension and said any fur
Their action on the part of the board as
equaIiZeis would invaidate the assess
ment roll. He said that when the mem
bers OF the Board of Equalization granted
the extension all OF them were IN different
parts of the State. and they had been tele-
graphed to give their consent to the extern
sion.
The law expressly provided that meet
ing should be held and a minute order
made. The teiegraphing of the State
EQualiZers from different sections could
by no possibility be in any way construed
as = M citing, aud therefore no authentic
record had bean made.
Clerk Russell was of the same opinion.
The board therefore ordered The correc-
tons they had passed on entered Oh the
roll and the books sent to the Auditor and
then adjourn ed sine die equalizers.

To THE EDITOR Why is it that VIC
have no party organization in our city :
Why do We continue year after year to
call mass meeting of our citizens and
let that mass meeting select from the
many aspirants set Of men whose
names appear on one ticket as candidate
for town commissioners, and to some
times endorse man for mayor.
Has it not invariably been the case
that the ticket thus selected is never re-
spected There are always boilers, in
dependents, sometimes as many as four
different tickets in the field. All this
tends to the disintegration of the party.
Let it cease. Let a convention be called
by Mr.. Parker, president Of the demo-
cratic club in the late campaign, and let
that convention nominate a mayor and
board of town commissioners, then the
voice of the dominant parry will be re-
spected and boiling will be diSgraceful
