A HEAVY STRIKE

The following article was written for the
New York Sun by a gentleman who had
been doing some angling in the vicinity
OF Santa Barbara:
"But there was an experience more ex-
citing than fishing to come before the
day was ended. At noon the ladies of
our party came by wagon to join us at
luncheon, and they accompanied us in
the afternoons fishing. Toward night,
when we had worked we'll up toward the
mountains, some cattle came down to
the stream to drink, and without appar-
ent provocation lively young bull began
to paw the ground and below unpleas-
antly and followed these demonstrations
up by charging on our party. Looking
up from my fishing at this juncture, |
saw that it was the red plaid shawl of a
lady that had excited the animals hos
tility. Calling for her to throw down the
shawl and for them all to run, | threw
stones at the bull to divert his attention,
while the other gentlemen of the party
helped them up the steep bank where
the bull could not follow. The bull stopped
at the shawl, tossed it about in an ugly
manner, and then, turning his attention
to me, gave me sharp run across the
sands to the bank. | got there all right.

my fly hooks had caught the bull in the

quarter of an hour. ! owed him no good

tackle. The nostri of bull, as you prob

Special correspondence to The Herald:

Special Correspondence to The Herald:
San Francisco. March 16.-Patrons OF
racing in Los Angeles will be surprised
when the entries for the coming race
meeting are made public There will be
scores of horses nominated that are famil-
lar to every admirer OF the turf by recent
victories achieved at the Bay District
track in the past few months. The class
will undoubtedly be UNNECESSARILY supe-
ror to what Los Angeles has been accus-
toned to in past years, and, if Ed Ryan
has the track in perfect condition, which
he will doubtless endeavor to have, there
will be general SCATTERING of coast rec
ords before the meeting is over. An
effort is to be made to bring the fastest
short horses in the country together.
One of the largest stables that will par
ticipate at the coming meeting will be
that of Billy Appleby, who is well and
favorably known throughout Southern
California. Appleby had Adette, Carmen
and other good ones in Los Angeles in
years gone by. This season he will have
Thelma, Wandering Nun, Camel, Garcia,

Rafael Monita and some four or five
others.
Billy Jonathan Is talking about going
South. He had George Polhmers at the
last fair, but the colt recently died. He
has two bread winners i'll Annette and Ike
j.. however He is also training Gussie,
who runs slashing race once in Il while.
The Owens brothers are figuring on
going south. They have Royal Flush,
Polaski and Norblich. The former is just
regaining his form of last year, and has
recently run several good races.
There is Il possibility that Charles
Boots will make Il number Of entries. He
had expectations of capturing the La
Fiesta derby with Instalator, but the
colt has gone wrong. There is chance
that he may round to in time TO be a
candidate for the rich 3-year-old event
Boots has promising string of 2year-
Odds by Brutus. one Of the best sireS OF
early speed i'll America. Charley Boots is
unique figure in the turf world. lie was
formerly a professor OF Greek, but always
had liking for the thoroughbred horse.
He now trains his own string. Mr.. Boots
does not gamble, and has never been
known to bet dollar on Il horse race.
His horses are always out to win, and no
turfman in America ranks higher in hon
eSty.
Probably one of the youngest trainers
of thorough breds in America is Joe Nc
Carly. He is son of Dan McCarty of
white hat fame. Young Joe has his
eve on the Newton Handicap and the La
Fiesta Derby, and will 90 south next week
with the pick of the PleasantOn string.
Captain Coster is the colt that Joe expects
to finish first III the derby.
Trix, horse owned by Charles Durlee
of Los Angeles. will be taken south by
Nick Hall, who may also take a small
string of his own. Nick Hall owns the
celebrated steeplechase horse Floodmore.
Others talking about going to Los An
Mcdonald A. Joseph, Wyatt carp, G. l..
White, and some half dozen Others.
According to all reports the hofsemen
from the North will not have things their
own way. Peter Weber, who has recently
settled III Los Angeles, has formidable
string in training, including such we'll
known Eastern horses as Hyram and
Little Cripple, and rumor has it that he
is to have the handling OF MALT a dozen OF
the Santa Anita two-year ODDS
Manuel Derr is a visitor at the San
Francisco races. He has stable in train
ing at Santa Barbara. This reminds me
ing about bringing Flashlght and Exam
iner to the Los Angeles meeting. Both
have recently won at the Bay District
track.

MIA Jockey Club, is aiding the Los Angeles
meeting and intends to take in the celo-

had here, and will no doubt make Il good
impression on the other side. The English
critics, however, who expect To see full

appointed, for Sims might easily be taken
for Il swarthy son of Italy. His style of
riding-with u short stirrup and short
rein-will no doubt provoke criticism but
he is clever judge Of pace and good
tinisher, and these qualities should speed
lily gain for him the recognition he de
serves. His ability to Judge pace will be
especially serviceabe to him in England,
where comparatively little attention is
paid to the time test either IN races or in
trials.

friends good-by. III the horses are not
good enough to win, why m willing to
lose with them, and if there is any glory
around, why Pm willing to share Il little

Sims was at first very reluctant to leave
for Europe being of the opinion that his
color would be severely criticised; but on
being convinced that such would not be
the case, and upon much pressing by
Messrs. Dwyer and Croker, he finally con
scented. He will be about the first colored

wish to speak through The Press to my fellow citizens in the town of Willing ton, touching the appropriations under consideration. They were extremely wrong, and in violation of the sacred prin- ciples of justice, equal nights, and consti- tutional laws of the state. These appro- priations hold no relation to the neces- sary expenses Of the town for which we are taxed by law; and believe that who- ever is attempting to appropriate the tax payers money to private institutions, with out their consent, is taking from them sacred inherent rights. There are some people who have never learned where their liberty ends, and it spreads over all creation. They take SO much there is but very little left for other people. This town is large enough for good many people to live in if they will behave them selves and keep where they belong, but if one or two non-paying tax-voters insist on having the right to appropriate what ever they please for their own special in- terest, the rest of us will feel very much crowded. We call upon all the friends of equal rights to join us to resist the en- crOachment of the oppressor from in- creasing our burdens more than is neces- sary to defray the proper and just ex- penses of the town. I haven't time to speak in detail of all the evils that will grow out of this wrong if established and practiced for fifty years. It will take many thousand dollars unjustly from a part of the inhabitants, of the town and give it uniustly to the other part.
