A Lively Steamer Race.
There was great race this week between
the steamers Mount Eden and San Lo-
reno, that ply between the salt landings
and San Francisco. Heretofore the Mount
Eden has been victorious, but this time
there was determination on the part of
the commodore of the San Lorenzo to
come in first or bust. The two boats met
about opposite the creek outlet, and away
they flew like two racing yachts. The
time was not taken, but 1t is said to have
been the fastest ever made in the bay, and,
as they neared their destination, the San
race in great shape.
The New Money Orders.
In few days a new style of money Or
der will be used at the Oakland Postoffice
A supply has been received, but all the
old forms must be used up first, as the
Government does not permit any post
master to destroy old forms, even al
though they are acknowledged to be out of
date. The new order is smaller thar the
former and is easily handled as a check.
The chief difference in the new order is its
negotiability. The new order is made
payable TO order and can be Endorsed and
used as collateral.
