made to favoriie for the ive-furIong
two-year-old scramble that headed the
card, on the strength of some reported fast
work. FL. Martin managed to find a
pocket with her. and she finished beyond
the money. The Texas colt RoItaire, with
6 to about b i'm in the ring, led all the
way, winning easily from Torpedo.
Starting at to 20 in the betting ring,
Salyable waited on Walter to the stretch
and then cakew ked in, leading the latter
horse out by two lengths. Crafty was a
fair third.
The six-furong sprint, with but five
starters, furnished an opportunity for
Beilicoso to annex another purse. The
ring held him at 8 to 10, and he romped in
ahead of McLight. Lobengula was good
third.
There was some element of real specu-
lation enthused in the betting on the fifth
race, six-furlong purse event. Mr.. Mac
donough's handsome filiy, imp. Santa
Bella, opened in the books at 9 to 5, but
there was such stiff play on Good Times
that IL to was obtainable around post
time. The latter colt might have brought
the coin home but for GARDENERS foolish
policy of racing out in front TO the stretch
with the rapid DING Fly. In the run to
the wire Good Times tired perceptibly, al
lowing Santa Bella to come on and win
by length in 1:15 fiat.
The wise ones figured that five furlon gs
lust suited Scotch Rose and she was
heavily played to win the final five-furlong
haunt at odds of to 5, She led to the
stretch, where DunDoy passed her and
skipned in an easy winner by length in
1:01Z.

Church Fatr al Haxwards.

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. "A fair is
being held in the Villa Hall at Haywards
for the purpose of raising funds for a
Catholic church at San Lorenzo. For a
long time the growth of that territory has
made it inconvenient for the worshipers
to attend the Catholic church at Hay
wards, and so the surrounding congrega-
tions have decided to make il possible for
the people of San Lorenzo to have a
Catholic church of their own. Among the
ladies interested in the fair are Miss Annie
Haas, Mrs. McKever, Mrs. John Geary,
Miss White, Mrs. Champenner, Miss Kate
Cary, Mrs. Emma Trowbridge and Miss

four occasions. The attendance was good
and the betting heavy.
Pat Dunne's good stake colt Captive
made his first appearance here in the mile
and a furlong run. All OF the other en-
tries with the exec ption of Ostler Joe and
Fred Gardner drew out, and the big chest
nut was 1 TO 2 choice, which looked a
long price. He made all the running
with Ostler Joe at his head most of the
way. and won by head in 1855 with
pounds to spare.

ing the customs of Americans in many
matters. Two little Chinese girls named
Wong See Ny and Wong Luke Hi were
recently taken from their parents by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty, the
parents being unable to properly care for
their offspring.
1t was the intention of the officers to
place the girls in some good institution,
but DIR. Wong Woo and his wife, Chin
Shee, offered to adopt the little waits as
their own, and with the consent of their
parents this was permitted and enforced
by an order of the Probate Court.
The children were old enough to appre-
ciate the change in their circumstances
that would ensue, and though they mani
tested affection for their parents made no
objection to going with their new pro-
tectors.
