that were guaranteed they did not see
their way clear to pay the bills.
1t is good deal more likely that
other causes initiated against the requi-
site number of entries. First, be it
recollected that it is only recently that
E. j. Baldwin's stable has participated
IN California events, and that his stable
won about $4,000 last fall at San Francis
co with lot of fsgged-out and trained
off horses. Now that they have rested
up and wintered well, the northern
horses, all of which would reach here
comparatively soft, would have little
show to beat them. Again, it has been
pretty well known that in the event of
the meeting being held here there would
be two men in that judges stand who

ried on if it could be helped. As about
three races out of every five at San Fran
cisco were collisions and compromises,
and as nine out of every ten at Oakland
were bare-faced larcenies, the perpetrs-
tors of these schemes saw what was in
store for them at Los Angeles and de-
clined to enter for our races. Well, it is
better to keep the racetrack closed from
one years end to another than to allow
the patrons of 3 manly sport to be
robbed, as they were at Oakland-so let
the whole thing slide.

A PUBLIC LOSS.

The people of Los Angeles were greatly
shocked to learn yesterday of the death
at the Coronado of Allen Marvel, the
president of the Santa Fe railroad. The
announcement that he had come here in
i'll health, for the purpose of recupera5-
ing in our genial climate, conveyed no
idea that his case was serious one, nor
that his death was go close at hand. Mr..
Marvel, by his urbanity and genial dis
position, had conciliated the good will
and friendship of all wit b whom he had
come in contact. Our people had always
found in him gentleman easy of ap-
proach and ready to listen to all subjects
connected with the great corporation of
which he was the chief. Whilst his
views on business matters were always
clear-cut and his conclusions decisive.
yet he was 30 suave and courteous in his
intercourse that even the unsuccessful
sutton went away from him with respect
for his judgment and the feeling that he
had had to deal with kind and consid-
crate gentleman. He had the power of
giant, but he used it with strict regard to
the rights OF others, and with gentle
ness that disarmed animosity. He al
ways treated this section of the state, in
it's relations with his road. with con-
siderateness that could not have been
more to our advantage if he had been
bound to US by the closest ties
of residence in our midst. His
policy, as the chief OF great
railroad corporation, was dictated by
the soundest business principles, 1t
WAS to second every effort for the devel-
opment of the agricultural and business
interests of the country from which his
road derived it's traffic. He knew that
the prosperity of the people meant the
prosperity of his road, and with this
broad and logical maxim he gave prac-
teal effect to his policy by large and
liberal application of his principles to
the conduct of the corporation over
which he presided. We shall not only
regret his death because it takes away
man of character, ability and correct
principles, but because we have come to
look upon him as friend to our section,
and one upon whom we could rely for
justice in any controversy that might
come up between our people and the
great corporation of which he was the
head. In this regard we look upon his
death as q public loss.

THE RACES DECLARED OFF.
The Board of Directors Cancels the En-
tries for q Spring Meeting

The Board of Directors Can els the En-
tries for a Spring Meeting.
On the 21st inst. the entries for the
spring meeting over Agricultural park
closed, with how many nominations in
each class nobody knows outside the
board of directors. Yesterday meet
ing of that body was held and the entire
programme declared off on account of
an insufliciency of entries to the pro-
posed stake events. For this race lovers
are most profoundly sorry, as the HER
AID had looked forward to an excellent
gathering of California horses prior to
their departure for the east.
There are several reasons assigned for
this paucity of entries, one of which is
that the entrance fees were much too
high. This falls to the ground when
the HERALD states, what it can show
figures for, that the entering fees were
the lowest of any ever advertised in the
state outside of San Francisco and Oak
land, which are practically one so far as
racing is concerned. another theory il
that the board did not want to give any
running meeting at ALL because it is
composed entirely of men whose tastes
run to trotting races; and it is vel
known that Los Angeles and Sacra
mento are the only two places
in the state where people will q
to the trotting events. Hence they die
not wish to spoil their favorite kind o
sport by giving more attractive kint
of amusement. That is all rubbish

can be no doubt that this blue blooded
combination will draw. All the

The three sailors Of the Thekla, who
are held for trial in Hamburg for the
murder of Dutch companion, are en-
titled to sympathy. The Thekla was a
wreck and the sailors, being in state
of starvation, drew lots to determine
who should be killed and eaten. The
doom fell upon the Dutch sailor. II it
is made to appear that the horrible act
was one Of the last necessity, and that
the terrible game was carried out fairly,
it is impossible to conceive that any
court of justice can find the inculpated
men guilty of murder.

companions of his struggling days.
These two had kept a cheap saloon
for years, and Flood had not greatness
of soul enough to accommodate his
elevation to his past. However
indulgent Mackey has proved to
be to the vagaries of his wife,
he has always remained an
unpretentious person, looking and act
ing like gentleman. Time and again
he has gone into his purse, and given
counsel to help out less fortunate COM
rsdes. Even Fair has been known to do
good natured thing occasionally; al
though. in his case, the instances are
rare. In the original constitution of the
bonanza firm Msckey owned two-thirds
of the stock of the copartnership and
O'Brien, Flood and Fair one.third.
1t is believed in financial circles that
the investments of Fair have
been go prudent and sagacious
that he is now wealthier
than Mackey, Notwithstanding the
fact that he paid nearly elk million dol
lars to get rid of the wife of his youth.
The celebrated wheat deal, into which
Flood and Msckey entered in a moment
of faulty, Is believed to have dimin-
ished the wealth OF these puissaut finan-
cial barons to the extent of $14,000,000
gold coin, which had to be paid on the
nail, and at great sacrifices, involving
additional losses for accommodations,
whose precise amount has never been
as far as the public know.

The board of fire commissioners held
an adjourned meeting yesterday at 2 p
M, the mayor presiding and full
board present. Chief Engineer Curran
was also in attendance.
TIE CHIEFS SUGGESTIONS.
Chief Engineer Curran recommended
that suitable person be appointed to
take charge of the corporation yard
also that fire hydrant be placed at a
point on the Old Mission road, near the
county hospital. The first ecommenda
ton was referred to select committee
composed of Messrs. Kuhrts, Wi rshine
and McLain. The latter one was taken
under advisement.
MR. THYE STEPS IN.
Nominations for the vacant position
of electrician being in order, M. P. Thye
was placed in nomination; and there
being no other nominations, the secre-
tary cast the ballot OF the board for Mr..
Thye, to take effect on the LIST day of
March next.
REPLY TO MR.. GRIGas.
Mr.. Hogan, the retiring electrician,
filed the following reply to the charges
made yesterday against him by w. F.
Griggs:
He gives a complete history of the
contracts of the Los Angeles District
Telegraph company, and the manner of
his appointment as electrician.
He states that the books of the Dis
trict Telegraph company show that they
lost $393.90 on their contracts. This
showing does not look as if the city was
robbed much on the deal, as Griggs
puts it.
He challenges any one to bring before
the histoTy 81 Gle ire sdf awi YIA
who will state that the system was ever
in frst-class condition, or one who Will
state that Griggs is now or ever was
worthy to be called an electrician or
even q common lineman.
He further charges that this Griggs 10
evasive by nature, and says that any
man who will offer to sell out the COM
pany who were paying him and offer to
work for the opposition 10 hard citizen
and should be driven out of town.
He states that Griggs offered to
sell out the Richmond company and
work for the Gamewell company for q
consideration when bids we're called
for q fire alarm service in 1884 or 1885.
He states that most of'the charges made
by Griggs are too foolish for considera-
ton, and all of them are but the rawlings
of mind backed by the promptings OF
few pothouse politicians who are
anxious to redeem pledges given to ward
strikers during the late city campaign.
He says: "But when Griggs or any
one else asserts that have unlawfully
used any OF the material belonging to
the city, or that I have wilfully injured
any alarm boxes or other property oil
che city, or have in any way tempered
with the system with view of impair
ing the already poor service rendered by
it, he is preyaricator by the watch"
He concludes by thanking the board
for the kindness and courtesy shown
him in the past and assures them that
he sewers his connection with the fire
department with the best of feeling fol
each and every member of the board.
On motion of Mr.. Brodrick, it was or
dered that the electrician be ordered tc
report daily at the chiefs Office at some
hour to be rejected by the chief himself
The board then adjourned.

VI course 1t Is not at all astonishing
that the terrible fluctuations OF stocks,
and their no doubt frequently yillainous
manipulation, naturally excited great
animosities against men who had
achieved such dazzling success as that
which had crowned the sagacity and
energy of the famous bonanza firm.
For years the Consolidated Virginia and
California mines, between them, paid
s2,160,000 in gold coin monthly. This
naturally excited the imaginations OF
the public. Each OF those mines in
1874 and for years afterwards was
divided into l0S,0 900 shares. At one
time Consolidated Virginia sold for
$3.50 a share, and California for $40.
This represented capitalization OF nearly
one hundred and seventy-five millions
of dollars. But considering the extra
ordinary monthly yield of these mine g.
paying dividends at the rate of $685.
100000 year-there was really nothing
out of the way in such figures. There
were not wanting men standing high in
the financial world who believed that
these two properties alone would yield
billions Of dollars. What the public
forgot in the case OF tbs bonanzs kings
was that the imaginstions of the Messrs.
Flood, O'Brien, Mackey and Fair we're
just as likely to get excited rs those OF
the denizens of Pauper alley. Why
should not these men yield to the same
excitement, and honestly, as that which
frenzied the brains OF their less for
tunate fellows? 1t never occurr, to
the man who lost his none by
the fluctuations of the stock M lrke.
that the men who owned controlling
interest in the bonanza mines m ght
be honestly misled, just as they rem
selves were. VINO could see porphyry
two feet behind the miners pick when the
walls OF every level, cross-cut and Wine
were cleaning with silver and gold (
1t was in this period, when everybody
had lost his senses, that such shfewd
men ss Rslston and Sharon paid Lucky
Baldwin So, 100000 for his shares in the
Ophir mine, which they supposed would
prove to be another Consolidated Vir-
GINA or California. That the craze had
come substantial foundation was proved
by the fact that these two mines alone
have paid over ona hundred and fifty
millions of dollars in dividends. III,
expectation that the output might rul
to billions was perfectly natural under
all the circumstances.
As matter of fact there is nothing tt
show that the bonanza crowd wer,
