All the Way From San Bernardino
County in a Buggy.

William Verrlek, a well-known horse
dealer of Los Angeles. is in this city. He
made the Journey entirely in a buggy, and
took four weeks in coming up from the
lower country.
"The sole reason travelled by the road
was to get perfect idea of the extent of
the horse ranches between here and Los
Angeles" said Mr.. Verrck to a reporter
yesterday. ~ admit that 1 was astonished
at the large herds Of horses saw on the
route. The animals were all healthy and
seemed brisk and spirited.
''At one ranch where we stopped sale
was going on and the horses were sold at a
remarkably low price. A span of gray
horses that presented very good appear

nice-looklng quadrupeds which brought no
more than $40 apiece.
I'VE started from Redlands Just month
ago. and the party included my wife, an
other lady and me. At first we took the
coast road through San Bernardiuo, Pasa-
dena and Los Angeles. We had a camping
outfit and camped en- the way.
ut was only by the greatest luck that we
did not fall in with band Of highwaymen.
We had decided to take the inland road,
but somehow we kept on the coast road
longer than we intended. When we did
strike on the inland path we learned from a
traveller that band of road agents had
been trayersiug the road we intended to
take the day before, and if we had taken 1t
we could not have escaped them.
mot much further on. near the GaVota
Pass, we met with a crowd of half breeds.

on our accompanying them. They were all

however, than 10 ride on with them. After
going several miles my wife, by a little
st.atagem, induced the party to go on ahead.
When they were out OF sight we waited for
two hours before we went on. When we
finally did pass their dance hall the widest
excitement was prevailing within, but you
may rest assured that we did not stop TO
inquire into the cause of il.
About sixteen miles from there we
camped that night. and there another adj
venture befell US. 1t was my custom to tie
the horse outside of the tent and to fasten
the rope that held him around my arm. so

the horse happy, while o creek OF ten yards

boys would give their cry, but 1t sounded
feeble when compared TO the hearty shouts
of seven hundred voices.
But their yell came out clearly and dis
tinctly toward the last of the game, for the
State University students were hushed and
silent
In the eighth inning they began to lose
and they then lost all courage, while the
Stanford boys became more wild with de-
light than ever. Up TO this inning the score
had run very close and at the beginning Of
the eighth each club had made six runs.

Berkeley and received the highest praise
from Walter Camp. the famous coach, In
an article on California athletics Mr.. Camp
said that Walton. the Stanford catcher,
would have an excellent show in any col
lege team in the country. Walton played
an excellent game all through yesterday,
both in catching and in batting.
The teams came out to the grounds about
2:15 p. NJ, but the game did not start until
after o'clock. The baseball men adopted

necessary to put metal cases in the base

be effected by using the wooden cases, and
the wood prevailed over the iron accord
ingly.
The contract for heating the County
Clerks office and Police Courts and was
awarded 10 II. Williamson for $3.50.
