Training league of this city are working

races, open to all comers. Pasadena
has fairly good tracE, which is being
greatly improved for this event.
John S. Prince, the professional who
would like a race with Schock, will be
liz the city during the holiday week, but
it is i'm probable that he will race here
unless match against horees or some
sort OF novelty race can be gotten up
for him. Schock says he wants none Of
Princes game.
There ia talk of a mile race between
Burke, the mile champion, and Flying

for mile is several seconds slower than
that of the horse.

by more than on the previous occasion.
strong wind was blowing during the
race. and the track has been left in bad
condition by the recent rains, 80 that the
bicyclist was handicapped somewhat !;
but it was evident during the last few
miles Of the race that Schock was not in
the condition required for 50.mile race
against three running horses.
The horses and jockeys both were also
far from fresh for the last 10 miles, but
the race was in their handn before this,
and it required no extra exertion to win
after that.
Once. just at the commencement Of
the 45th mile, it looked as If Schock
might win on account OF an accident.
The Jockey, when attempting to mount
one OF the horses was thrown. and the
riderless hores went galloping around
the track. There was confusion for q
little time, but another mount was se-
cured, and in lsss than mile the lost
ground had been regained.

CALIFORNIA WEATHER,
Report of Director Barwick for the Pas,
Week.

Report of Director Barwick for the Past
Week.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 17.-Director Bar
wick of the California weather service,
in his report for the week ending Sep
tembet 18th, summarizes as follows:
The average temperature Was: For
San Francisco 66, Eureka 54, Red Bluff
"A, Sacramento ~, Fresno IA, Los Ange.
les "a and San Diego 6S.
AS compared with the normal tenn
peratures, the weather of the past week
has been OF nearly normal conditions, an
excess OF heat being shown at San Fran.
cisco OF 4 degrees, Sacramento degree
and Los Angeles degrees, while a de,
fciency OF heat is shown at Fresno of 9
degrees, and normal conditions prevail
at Eureka. Red Bluff and San Diego.
Very light frosts are reported to have
occurred at Trasks, Sacramento county.
but doing no damage as they were seen
only on low grounds. Very heavy frosts
are reported from the mountain regions
which did some damage to vegetables in
Lassen county in the vicinity of Susan
vile.
The weather has been ell that could
be desired for hop-picking, fruit dry
ing, raisin making. bean pulling, sugar
beet gathering, as we'll as for the corn
and buckwheat crops throughout the
state.
In week or 10 days more about all
the crops will be safely secured, except
the raisin crop, which will extend its
harvest well into the month of October.
The atmosphere is in a very dry con-
dition on account OF so many and 80
persistent northerly winds, which have
greatly reduced the amount of moisture
in the air and have rendered good
service to the fruit drying industry, but
at the same time filling the atmosphere
with all the impurities contained in
dust, smoke and the evaporated fumes
OF decaying bodies. thereby causing
fevers and other zymotic diseases to be
somewhat more prevalent than usual.
The highest temperature was liz at
Huron, Fresno county, and the lowest
so, at Downievilie, Sierra county.
