THE RACE CoURsEs.-After two days

THE RACE CoURsEs.-After two days
of postponement, the familiar notes OF
the hugle, summoning the horses to the
post, was sounded at st. Asaph this
afternoon, where a fair crowd gathered
to witness the races In all probability
this rivalry between the st. Asaph and
the Alexander Island associations will
not terminate on the first of December,
as was at first intended. Secretary Nc
Intyre, of the Virginia Jockey Club,
has made formal application to the
jockey club, under whose supervision
the st. Asaph meeting is now being
conducted, for permission to extend the
present meeting through the month of
December. 1t is almost certain that
Alexandria county will present this
winter similar situation to that which
existed in Chicago last year, when the
East st. Louis and Madison race tracks
were fighting each other in the West.
In this event it will be war to the knife,
for the parties who are backing the two
concerns have declared emphatically
that neither will accept compromise.
To-day the races resulted as follows:
First race, 6 furlongs-Leonardo
won, Little Billy second, Old Dominion
third. Time 1:163.
Second race, 81 furlongs-Amster-
dam won, Tuscard second, Forager
third. Time LOCI.
Third race, furlongs-McIntyre
won, Carney second, Gov. Sheehan
third. Time 1904.
Fourth race, II miles-Star Actress
won, Baroness second, Lady Adams
third. Time 1854.

A Tug Wrecked on the Coast OF Mica

New York, Feb. l8.-A special to the
world from New Orleans says: The
rumor published few days ago to the
effect that the tug Willard was wrecked
off the Nicaragua coast is confirmed
Sixty-two lives were lost. Not man
on board the vessel survived to tell the
story. A reporter met an English GEN
tleman last night who is going to
Nicaragua today. He received word
from Greytown confirming the rumor
about the vessel. This authority said
the cable sent to London telling OF the
loss, was sent to a man in London in
terested in the Nicaragua Navi-
cation company, in the service
of which was the Inflated ves-
sci. The Willard was a tug OF 20 tons,
Captain Joe Thompson, making way
with 60 men fram Greytown to Blue
fields, where they were to work for the
navigation company. Several weeks
elapsed and rumors were circulated that
the vessel had gone down in the Carrib-
bean sea in q squall, and which is now
confirmed.

AFLOAT IN A Cookie SHELL,

Francisco Bay.
Their Frail Craft Supposed to Have
Been Capsized.
The Victims Are Editor Pixiey's Nephew
aud Two Yonng Ladies' Prominent
In soetety-Many Search

BY the Associated Press


SAN Francisco, Feb. 1S.-A young man
and two young women are supposed to
have been drowned in the bay this after
noon between gausalito and Belvidere.
At O'Clock Henry Pixlsy. aged 20. who
is q nephew of Editor Pixley of the
Argonaut. and Misses Annie and
Emily Tibbey, well known in society
here, embarked in a cookie shell,
less than 10 feet long. to row across
Richardson's bay to Belvidere, two
miles away. The bay wac calm and the
sun was shining brightly at the time.
A few minutes later squall came up,
fog settled over the bay, and the frail
shell was lost to view. Up to midnight
no tidings have been received Of the
missing young people, though many
searching parties have been out
in tugs and in rowboats, and hun
dreds OF people have been searching up
and down the shores all along the north
side of San Francisco bay. 1t is
believed the frail craft either cspsized
and all its occupants were drowned in
the near vicinity OF Belvidere, or the
youth and his companions lost their
bearings in the fog and were carried out
through the Golden Gate to meet GER
tain death in the breakers. The shell
in which they embarked was considered
unsafe for even one person.

Strange az 1t may seem, but compare
lively few people OF this city have been
attracted as yet by the midwinter fair
to San Francisco. The average resident
is like the fellow in the song and "Nsver
cares to wander from his own fireside, /"
and thinks that there's no place like
home. sweet home, ct the present time,
at least. just why this spirit of domes-
ITCHY exists is not known, except that
this is the opening of the season and the
ueople are waiting until the fair ia older
an its career.
Still the travel from here to San Fran
cisco is large, and has been especially
so during the past month. About thi ee
extra cars are added to each train. The
people are for the most part tourists,
who, after staying in Southern Cali
fornis during the winter, are returning
home by way of the northern metrop-
oils. The travel has been an annual
thing, and the number OF departures
has not exceeded those of past years.
A few OF the residents OF Los Angeles
have gone to the fair. but the outlook
Tor hegira within the next month is
not encouraging.
A number OF inquiries are made every
day regarding rates, and followed with
the announcement of an intention to
soon patronize the road.
A railroad man who is we'll informed
upon the subject stated that he thought
the travel to the fair would be large be-
ginning with the opening OF April.
A number have left the past week to
attend the opening of the Southern
California citrus fair and the observance
of Southern California day at the fair,
which takes place tomorrow.

EDITORS HERALD la view of the
many train robberies that are constantly
taking place, cannot the journals of the
country comment severely enough on
the picsyunish policy of the railroad
and express conn snies in offering re-
wards Tor the capture of these robbers :?
For instance, $500 each from the South
ern Pacific and Wells, Fargo Expire Q
companies. What county can afford o
equip suitable posee and ask them 10
risk their lives. expense and time for
$500, when $4,000 for each one captured
would be little compensation for the ex-
pense and danger in hunting that class
of toughs. II they had offered three
pennies each it would have been
but little more absurd. Until these
companies can offer suitable reward
for the capture of these fellows such
robberies will go steadily on.

Fund depots are worthy OF study. The
hands themselves tell stories of misery,
starvation, cold and suffering as elo-

could be bought that would fit such
hands, they are so thin and claw-like.
There ia hardly enough flesh upon some
of them to conceal the bones. There is
no red blood in them apparently. only
blue blood that stagnstos in the big
veins. Many OF them have been injured
