How Strangers View 1t.

Eds. Record Union: Having occa-
sion to be at Sacramento recently / had
the pleasure of going through the Capt.
itol grounds and was very much pleased
TO see the improvements that had been
made. What used to be the old COW pas
ture has been transformed into a beau
tiful flower garden with rare shrubs and
trees. In strolling through the newly
laid-out grounds the landscape garden
er'S hand could be seen in it's spacious
main avenue and its many winding
W alks, with its varied groupings of
trees and shrubs, with here and there
single specimen trees of stately habit
of growth, also groups of foliage plants
of different hues and variegation. Can
mas and caladiums make splendid
groups and give a tropical character to
the grounds.
/ noticed groups of umbrella, catalpa
and other trees of deciduous character
as a beautiful feature with their OPEN
ing buds in spring and their falling
leaves of many hues in autumn, con-
trasting with evergreens and striking in
the general landscape effect, which will
be more apparent when the trees have
attained a larger growth.

such an ordinance to the Clerk of your
board but for some mysterious reason
he was prevailed upon, or forced, to
withdraw it in a very hasty manner.
For several weeks past the pool
rooms have been closed, but / am in
formed that they will soon open if no
ordinance is passed to prevent their do
ing So The inducements, the fascina-
ton, and the ease with which boys who
receive small salaries and men who Ia
Dor for their hard-earned money, as well
as professional men, can wager any
amount ranging from a small sum of
money to thousands of dollars, makes
this form of gambling more pernicious
than the lottery games which every
other State and city in the Union sup
press.
You, as Trustees, knowing that a
great wrong exists, or is about to ex-
ist, which will injure our city and cause
our city to be looked upon as jay
town and to be plucked by any gambling
device that may come to this city,
should act with promptitude in a mat
ter of this kind. If you want to take
the stand of championing the cause of
the booksellers, let the people of this
city know that that is your intention.
Il am fully convinced that this or
some other ordinance should become
law of this city, and have urged you in
this matter more than l should have or
dinarily, but knowing the great injury
to the city which is about to be commit
ted. feel that 1 am justified in my pres
ent course"
Pennish thought the message good
one. and that it should be considered.
He should like, however, to have the
matter considered by a full board. The
two most moral members Of the board.
Tozer and Bentley, were absent just
now, and he thought that the matter
should be deferred until they were pres
ent.
The message was placed on file.

WHEEL NOTES.
Action by the Capital City Wheelmen
Last Night.

The Capital City Wheelmen, on rec
ommendation of Captain Readman, last
night postponed the road speed con-
tests until the 23d inst, to give the con-
testants time to get into condition.
The club voted to accept the invita-
ton of the Native Sons for the Admis-
sion Day celebration at Stockton, but
directed that the Native Sons be in
formed that as yet no guarantee could
be given as to how many wheelmen will
attend, also that it would be hardly
possible to wheel in the procession, as
it will move too slowly, but that the
wheelmen might appear on foot and
afterward parade if there are other
clubs present.
The matter of adjusting these mat
ters was referred to the Executive Com
mittee, as also the details of the handi-
cap speeding for the 23d, and the
committee was called to meet at the
clubrooms this evening at 1:30. The
entries for the speeding of the 23d were
ordered to close next Monday evening.
Reports on the wheelways showed
that of the Folsom path is in fine condi
tion and has lately been much i'm
proved, while that to Gait is far better
than the roadway, and next spring
should have more work done on it.
The success and benefit of the tenn
porary drill corps is so much valued
that a call was made for a meeting at
the clubroom for 7:30 this evening, to
form a permanent club drill corps, and
all club members were urged to attend.
Four new members were elected and
several new applications for member
ship made. The roster of the club now
! nears the 25O mark, and the records
show it to be one of the best organized
and most harmonious bodies of men
| in the country. 1t represents an organ
| ization of excellent citizenship of good
social standing and embracing those
| from nearly all reputable ranks in life.
| The club directed that it's thanks be
| extended to the Southern Pacific Com
pany, through Division superintendent
| Wright, for special accommodations
given and favors shown members of
the club who went to Stockton on the
9th by rail.
| The Wheelway Committee reported
the road fund exhausted so far as out
| side collected subscriptions are con-
cerned, but that a fair sum subscribed
4
that this sum can be got in, as it will
meet the cost of work now in hand and
incomplete, the club having on hand
decomposed granite enough for finish
ing two more miles of the Folsom path
| with stone surfacing
The matter of the wheel races at
Stockton on Admission Day much agi-
tated the club last evening, as it feels
dissatisfied that the l.. A. W. refused a
sanction" to the Terminal City Wheel
men and gave it to the Stockton Ath-
letic Club, which cuts out the return
day due the Capital Citys from the Ter
minals and the due share of the profits
A resolution concerning the matter,
looking to an order forbidding the c. c.
w. racing colors on the track at Stock
ton on that day, was laid over for one
week for consideration and further in
formation.

SHALL THE POOLROOMS OPEN?
Not II Mayor Hubbard Can Have His
Way About II.
a Pointed Message Sent to the
City Trustees on That
Subject.

Mayor Hubbard sent to the City TruS-
tees last night a message relating to the
rumored intention of parties to reopen
the poolrooms that fiourished in the city
up to the closing down of the jockey
clubs races in San Francisco.
The message is somewhat out of the
usual order, and INDUCES in very plain
language In it Mayor Hubbard says:
ITO the Honorable Board of Trustees:
At your regular meeting held on Mon
day evening, March %, 1896, sent your
honorable body a message setting forth
the great necessity for the passage of an
ordinance, which l had prepared, to
suppress the evil of pool-selling in this
city I believe my reasons at that time
were sufficient to have convinced you
that it was for the best interests of the
city that the ordinance presented, or
something of like import, should become
law in this city. / then stated that
those who were not familiar with pool
selling in all it's phases, and the great
prevalence it had gained in the city of
Sacramento, cannot realize the damage
it is doing to the city by the constant
and heavy drain of money, which. in
many cases, is drawn out of the pock-
cts of those who ought to use their
money to support their families, or to
pay their just debts
Twice after this ordinance was read
in your board it was called up by GER
tain members of the board who believed
such an ordinance should be in force.
Finding that your board was disposed
to Kill the ordinance by refusing to act
upon it, again sent in message to you
on May 10Th, asking that you either
pass or reject the ordinance. l also
stated that, in January last, several
members of your board were outspoken
in condemning pool-selIing, but that,
when the ordinance was presented, they
seem to have been persuaded, for some
unexplained reason, that it was not ne
cessary.
Having been urged by many citizens
to present such an ordinance, / re-
Trained from doing SO for some time
knowing that one member of your
board had sent to San Francisco and,
. think, other cities, for copies of ordi-
nances covering this subject, and that
he had the Corporation Counsel prepare
an ordinance from those to suit the ne
cessities of our city, and had presented

surrounding the grounds, with long
line of thrifty palms, is especially strik-
ing and tropical in appearance; the cli-
matte conditions are evidently suitable
to palms and such plants, if we may
judge from the healthy and uniform
appearance as seen on sidewalks sur
rounding the grounds. The older parts
of the grounds are well kept and many
beautiful and rare trees of large growth
are to be seen, the cedrus deodora and
Lawson cypress being among the most
effective. The bright f1ower-beds ar
tistically cut out Of the lawn, and here
large vases suitably placed, filed with
trailing plants, all go to make the sur
roundings Of the Capitol building beau
tiful and appropriate. 1t is pleasant to
the visiting stranger to find well-kept

THE LATE MR. SHIPPEE.
Resolutions of Respect to His rlemory
Adopted Yesterday.

At the meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture yesterday Director Boggs
offered the following resolution of re-
spect to the memory of the late l.. L.
Shippee, which were unanimously
adopted;
Whereas, Since the last meeting of the
State Board of Agriculture an all-wise
Providence has removed from our midst
an honored citizen of the State who for
twenty consecutive years was most
useful member of this board; there
fore
"Resloved That we feel in the death
OF Hon l.. L. Shippee a great loss to
the agricultural interests in particular
and to the State in general of an up
right and honorable man, ever ready
to aid in the promotion of California s
welfare. Possessed as he was of su-
perior qualities to lead he was found
most prominent in the establishment of
new ideas and improved methods in
not only his immediate community, but
other localities as well. He was ever
ready to lend a helping hand in public
affairs. and expected no reward except
the goodwill of his fellow-men. AS a
rublic-spirited citizen he was ever
faithful, courageous and manly. He
was a citizen that any community
should feel proud to claim. He de-
served more recognition than was given
him.
Resolved, That the State Board of
Agriculture deeply mourns the loss of
this wise and efficient citizen, and that
our heartfelt sympathies be extended
TO his relatives.
Resolved. That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this board,
and that a copy of the same be sent
to the bereaved relatives of the de-
ceased. =

VOICE OF THE PRESS.
From Coast Papers on Both Sides of
Political and Other Questions.

Oakland Enquirer: The idea of illus
tr2ting practically the difference be-
tween silver dollar which circulates
merely on it's bullion value and one
which is held UP to parity with gold
by the Government has seized upon a
good many people. The Buchanan Mill
ing Company of Niles, Mich, has offer
ed to pay 81 bushel for wheat if al
lowed to pay in Mexican dollars. 1t is
bona fide offer and many farmers
are taking advantage of it. But they
will find they can buy only 80 cents
worth of goods with the Mexican dollar
Some time ago Senator Thurston illus
trated the same thing. He had a Joint
debate with Bryan at Lincoln, and be-
fore entering the hall he went to one of
the local banks and for an American sill
yer dollar bought two Mexican dollars,
which he exhibited to the audience
UNWISE TO CHANGE.
Stockton Record: Republicans, as we'll
as Democrats, are beginning to realize
that it does not pay to change Con-
gressmen at every election. for, gener-
ally speaking, a new man has practi-
cally no influence in q legislative body
and is handicapped by lack of expert
ence. Johnson to-day is admittedly one
OF the brightest and most energetic
members of the lower house of Congress
and is a man who can be depended on
to see that his district is not neg
lected. The Congressional Convention
meets at Sacramento on the 10Th inst.
and Johnson's nomination is a fore
gone conclusion.
THE PRICE.
Santa Barbara Press: Republicans
do not envy the Democrats all of the
| meager satisfaction they can extract
from the action of the Populist National
Convention. But all the same it does
seem that the Democrats, in putting up
Populist candidate for President and
| adopting a Populist platform, paid an
almighty big price for only portion of
| the Populist vote.

TWO FIRES.
One Was the Work of an Indendiary,
the Other Accidental.

Last night word was received at the
police station that some one had set
fire to the frame building on Q street,
between Second and Third, which was
partially burned few weeks ago. The
building is owned by Miss Mollie Sulli-
van of San Francisco
Officers hastened to the place and
found that some old clothing saturated
with coal oil had been piled up against
the building and set on fire. Acting
Chief Engineer Montgillard also ar
rived and the fire was extinguished
without calling out the Fire Depart
ment.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
some children set fire to a bed in a
house in the rear of the brewery at
Ninth and P streets, while playing with
matches. The flames were extinguiShed
before much damage had resulted.
