STAKES FALLS FLAT.

Three out of FIVE favorites won yester-
day at the Bay District track and the
talent were proporti0nately happy, though
in the first race they did not even get a
run for their money. The two-year-old
gelding by imported Cheviot. dam Lur-
line, who was purchased for $3.50 for T. Fl.
Williams al the sale of ". Z. Smiths
horses last Thursday. was made the me-
dunn of a heavy plunge. owing to his good
performance when he ran third TO Nelson
and Ricardo, and also 10 the fact that
Irving had the mount. Something was
wrong with him, il could be seen, as the
horses faced the starter. and after few
false breaks he started TO run away with
Irving, who, instead of attempting to con-
troll him. apparently lost his temper and
whipped him out. A second time the
gelding ran away. and Irving then asked
TO be excused. but was refused permission.
Then for the third time the animal made
another runaway break, but was so leg
weary that he stopped of his own accord
and was allowed to go to the stable, ami
the curses loud and deep of those whose
money had been so badly burned up.
The track was fast, but records were in
little danger.
The chief event on the days programme
was the Autumn stakes, distance one mile
for two-year-olds, but three Withdrawals
viz. Filtration, Ra phael and Sallie Miller.
reduced the field TO four horses, two of
which were running in the Lone stables
interests.
MOrven and Normandie divided favor
ltlsm in the first race of five furongs for
twO-year-olds. for which a field of nine
went TO the post. Morven opened up at
to l and was backed down to 5 to ?. Nor
maDdie receding from twos to threes.
Gadiola was backed by some ill-adyised
persons to such an extent that she went to
the post at to l. Raphael varied from
fves to SKIES, while Sue Abbott was sup
ported at Fights to win big sum for her
stable connections. Trix went from skies
to tens. while from forty TO a hundred to
one was on offer about the others. Raphael
took up the running almost from the start,
followed by Babe, with Sue Abbott two
lengths away and the others strung out.
Sue Abbott ran into second position en-
tering the stretch. finally catching the
leader at the dTawgate and winning in a
drive by a head. NOrmandie was three
lengths behind Raphael.
The scratching of Filtration in the Au
tumn stakes robbed that event of most of
its interest. In the small field Of four the
Lone stables representatives, Thornhill
and Pricelle. were naturaIly made hot ia
vorites at l TO 8. 8 10 being nbtainable

worth no more than to /.
Ii was ThOrnhill's race from the start,
ana his Jockey set about making the pace
slow enough to suit himself, knowing that
his horse had the speed of the party in a
brush through the stretch. He won in
canter by length with Carmel second. five
lengths in front of Pricelle, who was the
same distance before Eric.
RealZation was picked as the good thing
IN the third race, handicap, over the Cal
lfornla Faturity course. He opened up at
TO 5, was backed down to to 8. and
finally closed at 2 to l, the weight of money

gan to make his move. rounding the turn
through the straight caught Realization a
hundred yards from the wire. where the
result looked doubtful for moment, but
Nomad drew ahead and won cleverly by
half length from Realization, who was
two lengths in front of Royal Flush, Motto
q bad last.
Revolver was made an odds on favorite
for the fourth race of a mile, opening at
3 to 3. at which price he was heavily
backed, closing at shade less. Not much
money went ia on Sympathetic's Last at
and 21a to l. Red Cloud and st. Patrick

being on offer about them straight.
st. Patrick and Red Cloud cut out the
work to the stretch, where Revolver made
his effort and ran past them as IL they
were standing still. Sympathetic's Last
vanly endeayored to overhaul him, but
could get no nearer than three lengths at
the wire. st. Patrick being only length
behind him.
The absence of Charm. who had been
scratched on account of lameness. left 70
bair the pick of the talent, and he was the
favorite against the field al to 3. Broad
meade, San Jacinto, Long d Or and Reta
were backed at fours and skies; Manhat-
tan. Queen of Scots. Gondola and NamonSe
at from twenties TO hfties. III being the
last race of the day the talent was on 10
bair to a man, and be justified the opinion
of his numerous supporters by winning
the race in a hand gallop by three lengths,
though he had lain away too FAR in the
fore part OF the journey to suit some OF
them, who were afraid that he would never
get up in time 10 catch Broadmeade, who
had made the best of the running. San
Jacinto was poor third.
The Wieland stakes. a hurdle race OF
about a mile and half. is the chief event
on to-day'S card.

RIVERSIDE. Nov. 22.-The Board of Su-
pervisors of this county at the last meet
ing passed a resolution making an appro-
priaton Of $1,000 to be expended in induc-
ing immigration into Riverside County, as
provided by law, which resolution directed
the Auditor to draw his warrant in favor
of j. II. Newberry, chairman Of the Board
of Commissioners of the Midwinter Fair
for said amount.
Mr.. Newberry applied for the warrant
to-day. as the money was needed to pay
this county's assessment toward the erec-
ton of the Southern California building at
the fair, but the Auditor refused the war
rant. Action in court was at once COM
menced to compel the Auditor to comply
with the order of the Supervisors, and a
writ of mandate was served to-day on him
which will bring the matter before the
court for settlement.

coinage Is the end of silver. We have
proved that the mere purchasing of silver by
us on a declining market is an improvident
use of the public money and ought to be
abandoned, at least suspended, until a time
may come when by an international agree
ment or by some provision of law we :uay
guard against the possibility of coming to a
single standard of silver; but it would be
unwise for us to waste either our credit or
our money in buying that which must lie
in the cellars the treasury unused. Ii
was in order to give assurance that we do
not intend to destroy the silver mining in
dustrieS of the West that we put into
the bill reported by the committee
the provision proposed by the senator
from Indiana. Instead of aiding to strike
down silver l would like to build it up, and
any measure that will do SO and will not
demonetiZe gold will meet my approval and
support. But L would not dissever the
financial business of this great country,
with its $4,000 900 of people, from the
standards that are now recognized by all the
Christian nations Of Europe. L would not
have any measure of value less valuable
than that of the proudest and haughtiest
country III the world. This is not a
question of mere interest to Nevada
or Colorado 1t is not question Of
what Wall Street will do. Wall Street will
be always doing some devilment
or down. take that as matter Of course.
The question IS, what should be done Tor
the people of the United States in all its
length and breadth? And, therefore, if
Congress will say that in its opinion it is
not wise now to continue the purchase of
silver bullion there will be no injustice
done to Colorado or Nevada. Are we
bound to build up the interest of one sec
ton OF the country at the expense Of the
rest? No, no. [ believe heartily and truly
that the best thing we can do now is to slls-
pend, for time at least, the purchase Of
silver bullion
Recurring to the suggestion of author
ling the issue Of bonds, Mr.. Sherman

tude IN political affairs. | would give them
power to protect the credit of the govern

L would say that we prefer to wait awhile

NEW BRIDGE WENT DOWN.
Another Wreck ut Middlcbury stops
Traffic over the Rutlsnd DIvision.


MIpDGEBcRY. May II. - Tho tresue
bridge, which was put up TO replace the
bridge over the creek destroyed last Friday
morning, went down again this morning
aud oil freight traffic over the Rutland di-
vision is temporarily blocked. y freight
train Of is car loads OF dead freight, drawn
by tue big mogul engine No. III and bound
south, arrived hero from st. Adams at
about $50 O'Clock this morning, and when
about two-thirds of tho distance across the
bridge the trestle work gave in and the en-
CINE went over into the water to the
LETT. About hundred feet OF the
bridge gave out, but the train was
going 50 slowly that only ono freight
car got off the bridge, and that not entire
ly. The car broke in two in the middle and
the front end went down, leaving the HAD
part retting on it and out Of tie water. The
engineer, John Corhst., jumped from his
engine when it was tumbiing over from the
bridge and escaped with merely q ducEing.
His fireman, Homer Barney, had walked
ever the bridge ahead OF the train and so
sustained no il juries. Tie conduc Jonn
w. Leal, and the other trainmen were in
the cabooso and we're uniniured.
Engine No. III disappeared unler Il or
Is feet of water. 1t is one Of the largest
moguls owned by the company ord wei hs
about GO tons. The major part OF the work
done this afternoon has been to turn the
engine over aud get out Of the way so that
spiles can be driven to repair the damage
and get the bridge in shape to run trains
over it again. The fret wreck train to
arrive came from Rutland about . o clock
this morning, in charge of Train Dispatcher
Edward Weloh. At about l. O'Clock an
other train with % men came down in
charge OF Trainmaster Edward Nash from
st. Adams. and work upon the wreck WAS
pushed rapidly. The accident will block
