THE AFTER EFFECTS

In a neat, home-like cottage at liz Fifth
street lives Mrs. A. T. Lyon, remarkably
pleasant and motherly lady who tells very
interesting story of her life and, incidentally,
speaks of her gratitude for remedy which has
wrought such wonderful change in her.
Said Mrs; Lyons: about thirty years ago,

disease, which left me blind, nearly, and para

we have pair OF roadsters. Look at those
heads. There you see couple OF horses
that can go to the mill and bring flour
back every day in the week and never give
in. Talk about your hackneys and high
steppers. They are everything that is
claimed for them, only they pick their
feet up and put them down in the same
place again. American horses put their
feet out ahead and travel. That's the diff
ference. It is all rubbish to say that East
ern horses or imported animals are better
than the horses we raise right here. We
have climate, breeding and proof of my
statement
Mr.. Mackey knows how to handle the
stable-boys and grooms. If they are Eng
lish he talks with Cockney accent; if
American he losses in racetrack slang,
and if colored his Georgia dialect is beau
tiful. He is as good Judge of men as of
amin ais, and is careful what kind of peo-
pie he trots with.
Dan Mccarthy of whitehall fame was in
his element, and said: "You can quote me
with saying that this is good show.
| consider that the judges have made less
mistakes than any other body of men
would have made under similar circum-
stances. l thought Mckinney with four
OF his get would take off the prize for
standard bred trotters over Guy Wilkes,
but he didn't and l can't change it. TAX
ing the show as whole, it ought to make
any horse fancier proud to see the equine
attracting so much attention. The ex-
hibitor3 are to be thanked for their inter-
est, and particularly Hobart, who is one of
the leading horsemen of this country"
President Croker is pleased at the way
the show has been patronized, and says
that society deserves credit for making
success possible. 1.-The first thing we did
was to ask society to back us, and without
1t we could not have got on at all. The
show could not exist without the proceeds
OF the sale of the boxes There were 100
sold at $125 EACH This money was put up
as guarantee to make the thing go by
people who took an interest in it months
ago. If we had gone on without that and
opened the show to the public at so cents
and 81 apiece it would have been dead

years ago wanted large animals. Now they
require smaller animals and pay more at
tention to the conformation and action.
They want horses with endurance. High
steppers with clean heads and beautiful
ears and nostrils. The price of horse de-
ponds greatly on how he is handled and
fixed up. Two years ago l sold horse for
S175; which was taken East. and with it's
mate sold in New York for $500. None of
my horses have their tails locked / don't
believe in it, and then it would be cruel to
them down in Kern County, where the
climate is so hot in summer
J. P. Rodehaver has been breeding Nor
man Percherons at Petaluma since 1878.
But for those sent in by Hill e. Rodehaver
and the Clydesdales of George P. McNear,
the draft classes would make very poor
showing.
eve consider it our duty as breeders to
do all we can for the show, for in the near
future we surely shall reap a reward. 1
believe that the horse show promotes the
interests of all classes of horses. 1t is a
place where we can come and get points
with view to arriving at greater perfec-
ton in breeding. 1t is much better than
the average agricultural show, because
only the best horses are shown here, and
breeders and buyers can get much more
accurate ideas of the proper standards
than they can at shows where the horses
are more mixed. Draft horses here are
not as well represented as they should be,
except from Petaluma, and l hope THE
CALL will state that unless the draft
classes fill up better next year they will be
abolished by the managers. They prom

stretch and went down before the strictly
bon-ton element there was no very decided
demonstration, but each time he made the
turn there was howl of applause. Mr..
Hobart's turnouts got the glad hand from
society at intervals, but the endmen
finally became so boisterous and uncon-
trollable that they ratified the groom with
applause and disconnected rather than
strengthened him.
The levity which was introduced by the
endmen to show their appreciation was
the cause of Alexis undoing, and he did
not drive as well as on the occasion of de-
feating his old employer. In consequence
Hobart got the blue ribbon and Mr.. Pope
had to be contented with the red rosette.

after the decision, but Mr.. Hobart's horses

That's all right. Alex" said Mr.. Pope,
coming up at that moment; "you did all

Miss Aloha Agnew, riding Henry Croker s
pony, carried off the blue ribbon. She was

light hair foated behind her as the little
animal galloped around the ring. She

the bride some one, attracted by the wild
applause, remarked, THAT must be Ho-

on.

Want California Wines.

c. F. Oldham of London, whose irm handles
nearly all The California wines sold in England,
is at the Palace. Mr.. Oldham was the British
Commissioner appointed to decide on the
merits of wines exhibited at the Chicago Ex-
position, and decided in favor of those of
California instead of France. He says the con-
sumption of California wines In England, as
shown by the sales of his firm, is about $500
gallons day. He adds that the demand is
increasing in way that if it continues the
consumption of French, Australian and Ger
fornia wines, he says, will eventually take
their place. Mr.. Oldham will be here month
or more. He says prices for our wines will be
very fair this year. The supply is scarcely
average.

Chinatown Census.

Chief Harrison OF the Chinese bureau of the
Custom house has not yet proceeded to take
the cersus of Chinatown. Collector Wise is in
some doubt as to how to begin a task which
promises to be more than ordinarily difficult.
Instructions have been sent out by the Treas
ury Department to every port to have the GEN.
sus taken, so as to ascertain how many Chinese
are Illegally in this country, and at most of
the great difficulty with San Francisco is that
he has not force enough, and TO interpreter to
spare, owing TO the constant immigration of
Chinese and the time and labor required to
examine all who come on the ocean steamers.

ENORMOUS BANANA SUPPLY.

During the first six months of the cur
rent year more than ten million punches
of bananas have been sold in the United
States. and since about sixty vessels are
engaged in carrying this fruit to our
markets, ana: from fifty to hundred
men are employed in unloading each
cargo as it arrives, the banana busi-
ness now proIaslE.. takes rank as the
leading branch u ehe fruit trade The
great increase in the c6ffsHln ption of ba-
nanas is due to the fact that-she coun-
try fruit stores can dispose of them Hlore
readily than that of other kinds of fruit
or account of their cheapness, and many
country merchants have built ripening
rooms for the fruit when received by
them in a green state. According to

FRENCH COLONIES.
ssJournaI des Debatss' On the Adj
minfstratfon of Colonies.

The journal des Debats,'' of Paris, of
July s last, says recent consular re-
port, contains criticism of the French
governments administration of it's col
onies, which now have an approximate
area of 75000O,00O hectares, or almost
100000 English square miles. Under the
supervision of Under Secretaries of the
State and Ministers for the Colonies,
who are constantly changing, their pro-
gress has been greatly retarded, and
they have been but an expense to
France in consequence of the varying
policy in their administration adopted by
each succeeding minister. In order to
develop this vast territory, and, in time,
to make it source of revenue to the
government, the journal des Debats'
advocates strongly the granting of char
tiers and privileges to large private cor
porations, as was formerly the practice
in France under monarchial rule and as
is still the custom on the part of the
British government. A step in that di-
rection was accomplished when the
French government in 1S9 created an
administrative commission to prepare a
draft of a law authorizing the formation
of large privileged companies in it's
colonial possessions, but that and sub
sequent drafts submitted were rejected

PROCEDURE AS IN AMERICA

A News" representative met Chan
cellor A. T. McGill this morning on
Montgomery street, and after pleasant
and courteous greeting from the dis
tinguished gentleman who is so prom
inently mentioned as Democratic NOM
inee for Governor of New Jersey, the
conversation turned to his Honor's re-
cent trip to England. The Chancellor
chatted in an interesting way about his
visit to the big city, and particularly
about his visits to the courts. In for
mer times the courts of law of London
were held in old Westminster Hall, but
the ancient hall built by William Rufus
is now denuded of the unsightly parti-
tons which marked off the Courts of
Queens Bench, Equity and Exchequer
and is now restored to it's original con-
dition. The courts were removed to tho
new building on Fleet street, in which
Chancellor McGill spent much of the
little time at his disposal.
The Chancellor had letters of intro
duction to prominent English people
from Mr.. Thomas F. Bayard the United
States Ambassador to the Court of st.
James, but preferred to visit the courts
incognito. or rather as a plain American
gentleman.
II was much struck he said to the
