Fine Pressed Brick Clay.

Judge T. j. Morrow has discover
ed very valuable bed of clay on his
farm near the city. A barrel of it
was sent to Walter G. Mitchell, Of
Cincinnati, to be tested and samples
of dry pressed brick made from it
have been sent back to Judge Nor
row. Mr.. Mitchell says it is the
finest clay for red pressed brick he
has ever seen and Cincinnati parties
are anxious to come here and open up
a plant. The bed is within quarter
of mile of the L. & N, railroad and
the only thing lacking to manufac-
ture the brick largely is satisfactory
rate from the road to ship them
away. A track will be run out to the
bed and big plant established, if
terms can be made. The samples
of brick are a beautiful red, finely
polished and will sell at from $18 to
$22 per thousand. A mandatory Of
this sort would give employment to
many hands and we hope to see the
plant established at once.

MERGED, CAL, Nov. %, 1895.
To the Editor OF the San Francisco CGll-SIR:

People,, In the Issue OF Sunday last, was
gratlhed to read communication from A.
Du Mere, who is evidently a practical man OF
good sound judgment,in answer to letter pub
hshed In THE CALL OF the Goth from the pen Of
that wonderfully gifted word painter, John
MUIR, on the Yosemite and National Park. An
intimate acquaintance Of more than twenty
years with the Yosemite Valley and the sur
rounding mountains now set apart as Ma
tional Park, should enable me TO form a fairly
correct opinion of the same. l can truthfdlly
say that indorse most all the writer has said
In answer to Mr.. Muir's letter.

In distance and still shorter in time and
safer in all ways than the route via the In
dian Ocean, the Suez canal, the Mediter-
ranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
AS for tonnage through the canal, Cap
tain Merry seems properly to believe that
by 1900, before which time the canal could
not be completed, it will reach over $780,
0OO tons annually, and In making this
statement he means tons OF 2240 pounds.
and pokes fun at Mr.. Nimmo for estimat-
ing maritime ton at 1000 pounds, which
is the railroad basis.
He shows also that Mr.. Nimmo is unfair
in quoting values instead OF volumes OF
overland transportation, and yet we are
all aware that specie, passengers and every
hlgh-priced and perishable merchandlse
must go overland, and, being very valuable,
give no indication of the volume OF the
traffic or its bearing on the necessities OF
commerce. AS a matter of fact, bulky and
cheap articles go by water, and they vastly
exceed in tonnage the traffic of the rail-
roads.
Captain Merry shows further that the
Suez canal toll of 81 So a ton in 1894 can be
probably duplicated by the Nicaragua
canal at the start without reference to
reductions that would inevitably result
from the increase of traffic which 1t would
create. And all this is separate from and
additional to the perils, delays and hard
ship of transportation round the Horn.
Finally, as Mr.. Nimmo's whole argument
is intended to prove that oceans, the free
and natural highways OF all the nations,
are obsolete, the very foundation upon
which he has reared his structure is absurd.

THE NEW RACETRACK.

The new racetrack at Ingleside will be
formally opened to-day. Its establishment
grew out of the increased interest in breed
ing and training horses in California, and
its existence will materially assist in the
accomplishment OF still higher results in
that most important State industry.
The new electric road from Mission street
to the track will be in operation to-day, it
is hoped, and also the steam road from
Third and Townsend streets. But an eX-
ceedingly pleasant way to reach Ingleside
is by wagon road. Three fine routes lead to
1.-THE Ocean House road from the Mis-
sion, the same road from the beach, and
the Almshouse road from the park. The
two last named are among the most pic
turesque drives in the State. The beach
road is familiar to all. but the Almshouse
road is not SO well known, by reason of the
fact that the place where it reaches Golden
Gate Park is at present obscure and not in
the best condition. The purpose Of the
recently organized boulevard association is
to make an extensive system OF boulevards,
of which the Almshouse road will eonsti-
tute an important link. This road, as one
leaves the park, winds through pictur
esque wooded canyon, in which stream
babbles pleasantly, passes the Almshouse
water works and then the Almshouse itself
and emerges upon the Corbett road mile
or so from the Ingleslde junction.
The situation OF the new racing park is
exceedingly attractive. 1t is in an open
field, which is flanked on the east, north
and west by heavy forests planted many
years ago. In front, on the south, is the
tree ordered avenue, the Ocean House
road-broad, hard and free from dust and
mud. The environing trees protect the
racing park from the winds and are q
pleasing feature of the landscape. Back of
the trees are reared the sharp, bald, rocky
Twin Peaks, and to the southwest the
dark blue waters of Lake MERGED are seen
cleaning through the trees which en-
bower them. A more picturesque site for
a racetrack cannot be found in this
country.
1t is taken for granted that the manag-
ers of the new establishment will conduct
it on the most improved principles; that
not only will the best horses that
the country can produce be brought
thither and the most interesting and
varied programmes given, but that every
thing will be conducted in the most up
right and decorous manner. The State is
fortunate in having enterprising men thus
to promote one of its best and most useful
industries and the City will quickly show
its appreciate on of efforts to furnish high
cI ta al
