TrOtting and Pacing Races again Post

Trotting and Pacing Races AgGin Post
poned-A RereL for Misdiarks.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 12.-At the
announced hour this afternoon for the con-
tinuing of the unfinished trotting and pac-
ing races of the day before it was still
raining, and they bad to be again laid over
until such a day as the weather will permit
In the afternoon the track was given up
to the bangtails, and the mudlarks fairly
reveled in the juicy going. The racing was
carried on through intermittent spells of
clear and showery weather.
The members of the opposite sex appar-
emily did rot relish the trip to the track in
the sloppy, crowded cars that run every
once and while, and the grand stand was
conspicuous through their absence.
In the betting ring the four boookmakers
were ample to handle all the coin there was
in sight. The racing was very ordinary.
The feature of the card was the fall stake,
worth $1025, one and quarter miles, and
Walter Hobart, the young millionaire
horseman, for the first time saw his Reali-
cation winner, Bright Ph@bus, face the
flag and had swell wager down on him.
Scratching had reduced the field to four
starters, and Bright PhGbus, who is par
at 2 to in the books. Lovdal, with light
impost on his back, was backed down TO
second choice, and Annette, Del Norte and
McLight all received strong support for
the place by their partisans. TO use a
paddock phrase, there was nothing to it"
but the favorite. He ran just about the
way Realization winner should,
and everybody said he was great
horse after the race. And so he is until he
strikes still greater one. The favorite
waited upon Annette and McLight, who
headed him for nearly six furlongs. and
then with one ''shake-up" a flash of red
color was seen to dart to the front, and as
far as the actual winner was concerned the
race was over. Bright Phebus romped in
past the winning post in 2:0S1x. McLight,
who put up great race, was two lengths
away, with Del Norte third, three lengths
back of him. The track was sloppy, but
not deep, so. while good performance, it
did not border on the marvellous.
The stable of Burns and Waterhouse fur
nished the winner for the opening race, q
tive-furlong dash for maiden two-year olds,
in Palomacita, who, heavily backed at to
i, jumped to the front and was never
headed, winning by two lengths from
Treachery, who sold equal choice in the
betting with the winner. The big chestnut
daughter OF Surinam and Paloma won

Mack, the cook; Joseph Waldon, the as
sistant cook; James Ogden, Jim Mullaney,
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccullough, Mrs. Fitzger-
aid and others. Mack told the following
story of the Commonwealers' woes: "Mrs
Gordon has not treated us fairly. She
went to San Francisco and got merchants
to donate nearly all the provisions and
then she charged every one 10 cents meal.
When that was gone she drew the pickers'
money from the company and got little
more; but at no time was there enough to go
round. She got me to cook for $40 month,
promising to pay me every week. Yester-
day got word from my wife in San Fran
cisco that she was obliged to pawn my coat
in order to get food for our nine-month-
old baby. To-day told Mrs. Gordon that
would leave if she did not pay me, and
she gave me- 3d. as she cannot get another

money and l know it, for on Tuesday she
gave her brother-in-law, Clough of Lodi,
$40 and lot of tea and coffee that had
been donated to the camp. 1 saw her do
it. Clough had been hanging around the
camp, but had not worked any"
Ogden also complained of the treatment
he had received. from Mrs. Goroon. He
said that she had collected from the COM
pany 81 80 that belonged to him, claiming
that it was for board. every time I ate
there paid her, and so never owed her
cent" he said.
Superintendent Davis said that Ogden is
not the only one to make this complaint.
He stated that large number of hop
pickers had accused Mrs. Gordon of col
lecting their money for board already paid
for.

Il Peculiar Coincidence.

SPOKANE, WASH, Sept. 12.-Another
peculiar death occurred to-day, that of An
drew Jennings, great friend of McDougal,
who was found dead in his shack yesterday.
Like McDougal he lived alone in little
shack, and his body was found to-day
when the door was broken in. Apparently
he died about the same time as his friend,
and all the circumstances connected with
the death of both are identical. Jennings
was once a. very prominent citizen here,
but of late has been dissipating very much.
He is said to have son in Chico.

H BULLS SUFFERED
HEAVY INCREASE IN VISIBLE SUP
PLY SENT WHEAT DOWN.
All Chicago Markets Dull and De-
pressed-Decided slump i'm Pro-
visions Headed on.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4-O1 the Board OF
Trade to-day corn improved a small frac-
ton. but all the other chief speculative
markets finished much the same as Satur-
day. Trading was light and the prevail
ing tone heavy.
In wheat the bulk of the days transac-
lions was at &c under Saturdays close.
Wheat started with a rush, but soon fell
off. Predictions of more wet weather had
no effect. Northwestern receipts were as
suggestive as before OF an undiminished
supply from there and foreign market
evinced perfect acquaintance with the
heaviness displayed here tat the opening.
The visible supply statement was no more
encouraging to the bulls than any other
of the routine news Of the day, and the
market could not be driven into any move
ment which, would take il outside of Ac
range. The visible supply increased 2,5Oi,-
600 bu, which is a heavier addition than was
looked for. but the price was only affected
about isc by il when it was first announced.
The total amount now in sight is 81, $50. 600
bu, against S0,o27, 900 bu on the correspond
ing DAY of the year before. The days re-
ceipts at Chicago Were 63 carloads, against
81 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth got
1,768 cars, compared with l, 1W on Monday Of
last year. and l,0i on the similar day of
the previous year. The receipts a year ago
at all the primary Western markets, to-
gether were only $4,000 bu, while Mime
apolis and Duluth alone got 1,232, 900 blu
to-day. Liverpool was quoted I'D lower at
the opening and another Nd lower later in
the day. Here December opened at from
5SlsQ5S1ac, and it's extreme range from then
TO within half an hour Of the close was
from the lower of the quotations named
up to 5SAc.
Corn was even more uninterestingly dull
than wheat, although the fluctuations in
November at least were a slight shade
wider. The receipts to-day were 541 car
loads. The total in the visible supply now
is 4,S54,00O bu, against 2,65s,0O bu a year
ago. November opened at 281c, gradually
worked up to 2S7sc. and then maintained
itself during the remainder of the day at
substantially 2SAc, but frmed up to $3.50
PC in the last few minutes and closed at
that.
In oats activity was lacking the greater
part Of the session. December opened at
1850, sold up to 1890 and closed at 1880
1870. Saturdays final quotation was 1890.
Hog PRODUCES were slugeishly tenacious
of the quotations they started with. The
indication at the opening was for lower
prices on account of the days run of hogs
numbering 1900. but when r. w. Rawlin-
son took 1000, 900 pounds of ribs in a few
minutes after the opening, which is equiv
alent to more than all the pork, lard and
ribs together, which could be made out of
to-day's big receipts of hogs. the downward
tendency was arrested and the market
ruled firm, winding up at the same quota
tons as prevailed at the close of Saturday.
The leading futures ruled as follows:
