Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SANTA CRUZ, June THE highest TIDE
of the season was last night. Notwlth-
standing it's force, it was test which the
dam passed through successfully. Ids
morning the river has the appearance OF
a lake. the water almost touching the
floor of the bandstand. Large boats are
being rowed over its surface, while on
both sides of the river men are Dullulng
pondolas. It has been decided to ADD
fifty feet more of wharfage to the landing
place of the Queens throne. This has
been found necessary owing to the large
number of boats being entered for tne
procession on the river.
The Queens barge is being modeleo
after that of the Doge of Venice. 1t Will
be gorgeous affair, canopied and illuml-
mated by incandescent lights. Maskers'
day on Saturday will be devoted entirely
10 pleasure.
Every is requested TO mask.
Already hundreds OF costumes nave ar
rived. Business men. professional men,
and In fact everybody, will appear In
mask.
Rooms have been engaged for Gov
ernor Budd and staff.
Street decorating Is being rapidly
pushed. The effect of yesterdays work
is seen in the mass of bunting, flags, gar
lands and Chinese lanterns that cover
buildings and telegraph and telephone
poles.
The bicycle races at Athletic Park will
be feature of carnival week. All Of the
crack wheelmen are expected to compete
for valuable prizes. The procession of
wheelmen. judging from the liberal ac-
ceptance of invitations to participate.
will be among the largest eyer seen In
this State.
However, the principal interest is CEN
tered in the procession on the river,
which will be scene of dazzling brill
fancy and gorgeous displays. The floral
battle after the street pageant on Wednes-
day will also be among The attractions.
The display of fireworks on Wednesday
and Friday night will be on scale OF
grandeur seldom attempted in California.

Loo o'clock this Saturday morning.
The actual time of the race was Go hours
and So minutes. The last relay should
have reached the finishing point at Six
teth street, and the western boulevard at
o'clock this Saturday morning. Ar
irving when they did. they broke all
American records for relay race. The
great race, which had its start at Chicago
at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday morning, was
begun after most careful preparations.
Two years ago. Just after the first relay
race between Chicago and this city, Gem
eral Nelson A. Miles, then in Chicago.
now commanding the eastern division of
the United States Army, expressed HIM
self as being strongly in favor of the
bicycle in military life, and urged that
relay races be more frequently run. Be-
lieving that the wheel would in the
future play an important part in military
circles, he himself became a rider, and
has great deal to say of the present race,
which was organized almost on the
strength of his words of encouragement.
The blue riders represent the military;
the red the postal service. From almost
the first of the race the riders were ahead
of the scheduled time, and there was q
strong rivalry and hard riding between
the different colors to distance one an
other. For the most part the roads were
found fair. and the route arranged favor
able one.
AT midnight there was great throng
at the junction of Sixtieth street and the
boulevard, the finishing spot OF the race.
Long before there could be any hope of
the riders appearing, the walters peered
into the darkness and every once in a
white great shout, Here they come"
startled the nearby residents.
On the wall of building close at hand
there had been posted an immense chart
showing the route from Chicago, through
Indiana. Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York marked with figures that illus
trated the progress of the riders. 1t was
1:56 o'clock when the red message was
delivered to General Miles. The mes
sage said:
This message leaves Chicago on June
5th, in front of my quarters, at A. NJ.
''WEsLEY MERRITT, U. S. A..
Commanding the Department of Mis-
souri,"
This message was brought on the last
relay and was delivered by l.. ID. Mum
ger and Price General Miles and Post
master Dayton were at the end OF the
line to receive the messages. The blue
rider arrived at 2:39 A. NJ.

COLLEGE ATHLETES.


Great Interest Over the Prospect of
American Youth Going to England.
LONDON, June THE greatest interest
is taken here in the prospect of an inter-
national athletic contest between the uni
versities of Oxford and Cambridge and
teams from American universities. The
first news of the Oxford End Cambridge
challenge was published in England to-
day. when all the newspapers reprinted
the exclusive dispatch to the Associated
Press newspapers of Thursday, just
twenty-fonr hours ahead of any other
newspaper. Naturally there are numer-
Gus comments on the challenge. and they
all express the hope that it will be ac-
cepted.
For instance, the 81. James Gazette
says: 1T will do good to the UNIVERSE
ties Of both countries and help TO produce

and ever since the price has been low all
over the world. The price now is from 3
to cents for medium, and for choice to
cents. Choice hops are not plenty In
the market.
"California hops are in great demand in
England AID the East. England takes
5000 bales every year from US, and the
East about the same. The coast con-
sumption of hops is about 5000 bales.
IAN average crop for Oregon, Wash
ington and California. with all their yards
producing, would be about 10000 bales.
/ think there will be that much this year,
unless something happens to the crop. l
think there will be better price for the

a friendlier feeling on both sides of the

The Pat MdU Gazette, in the course of
column leading editorial on the same
subject, remarks: "There will be great
interest in the meeting, In view of the
London Athletic Club fixture, and we
shall thus have international contests,
which should enable athletes of both
countries to take thorough stock of each
others capacities"
After alluding to the benefit of such
contests. the Pail Mall Gazette con-
tues: Every spectator Of the contests
between Oxford and Yale was struck by
the manly spirit in which the Americans
bore the barest of bare defeats. We are
not ashamed TO say that this association
of youth with youth may help to shape
the relationship Of the two peoples.N

WRECK OF THE CoLIMA.

An Official Examination Into the Dis
aster Being Made.
SAN FRANCISCO. June THE United
States Inspector of Hulls and Boilers
commenced an official examination into
the Colima disaster to-day.
A. x. Richardson, storekeeper of the
wrecked steamer, told the story of the
storm, OF the sinking of the ship and OF
the rescue of the survivors by the steamer
San Juan. His testimony developed no
new details of the shipwreck.
Third Officer Hansen was the next wit
ness, stating that when the steamer left
Manzanillo on May 10Th the weather was
fair, with a heavy southwest swell. He
said that he had superintended the stow
ing OF the cargo: that the work had been
we'll done, and that the cargo had not
shifted. Ii the Colima had not been
good boat, he thought she would not have
weathered the storm SO long as she did.
He heard no explosion. He was in charge
OF the bridge when the steamer went
down. He believes the wreck was due
entirely to the violence of the storm. On
the morning of the 9th she fell Off into
the trough of the sea, and listed To star
board. Three heavy seas broke over her.
and after the third she listed over on her
beam ends, with her masLs in the water,
sinking five minutes later, before the life
boats could be launched.

STANFORD ESTATE SUIT.


Judge McKissick Presents the Gov
ernmenPS side OF the Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, June Judge Nc
Kissick, special counsel for the Govern
ment, made his argument in the suit
against the Leland Stanford estate to- day
in the United States Circuit Court. He
endeavored to demonstrate that the debt
which was created under the Act of Con-
gress of 1862 was merely a statutory
Limitation, and not a condition, as the
Stamford counsel contended. He argued
that each stakeholder is liable for the
debts OF the corporation. He said the
railroad had entered into a contract with
the Government, and as result certain
liabilities were created. The railroad had
accepted the land grants, and agreed to
pay the bonds on maturity. The Gov
ernment had eXacted the railroads pledge
that it would maintain the road in good
condition, transport the mails for certain
fixed sums and pay into the Treasury of
the United States a certain percentage of
the dividends, in order to redeem the
bonds when they matured. Counsel
argued that Congress had imposed a
special liability. He was not dealing
with an inanimate body, like corpora
ton, but with the stockholders them
selves.
