Chinatown Resumes Its Normal Appearance
After the Holiday
Last night the final ceremonies of the
Chinese new year were celebrated with due
pomp and ceremony. The usual crowd Of
curiosity seekers wandered back and forth
in the dingy streets, which in the fantastic
lights of hundred curious lanterns were
transformed into blaze of oriental glory.
An unusually large number Of women
thronged the place and gathered in crowds
to listen to Lee Bong, the Chinese pawn
broker, play on his Chinese piano, sweet,
stringed instrument, from which the fat,
shiny Mongolian evoked strains which car
ried the commonplace and every day
crowd to the misty eastern land and raised
tender thoughts of other days in many
man long stranger TO such impulses. The
sale of fire crackers is ended and the thick
punk stick will burn no more. The evil
Qenii have been driven far away and every
thing is lovely and the goose hangs high.
The temporary romance has passed away
and Chinatown will once more become the
evil smelling abode of cholera germs.

RACES AT BAY DISTRICT
Break Riley Grammar, the Famous
Young Plunger
doned at the Close Of the Present
Season

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-The Califor-
MIA hurdle stakes at two miles, with $500
added money, and a special five furlong
dash, were the features of today's races
at Ingleside. John Brenock's imported
horse St. Brandon, although carrying 165
pounds. was an eight to one favorite. Af-
ter trailing behind the field under pull,
the favorite got his head and the imported
horse won with ridiculous ease.
The special match at five-eighths con-
sisted of "Pittsburg Phil's' mare Derfar-
gilla, Corrigan,s filly Mobolasca, Spreckels'
gelding Pat Murphy and Stanfield's crack
sprinter George Miller. Derfargilla was a
hot favorite at to ., Notwithstanding the
fact that he had been beaten by the same
horses two days previous. Miller won
easily from Mobolasca, with the favorite
third. The Australian system was used
with great success on the three seven-fur-
long events. st. Brandon and Olive were
the winning favorites, the other races GO
ing to three outsiders and one second
choice. The weather was perfect and the
track fast. Attendance large.
A local paper prints story to the effect
that Riley Gannan, the young plunger, has
lost 900 since he came to California
this winter and has gone broke. Pierre
Wigaux, Barney Schreiber, Pittsburg Phil
and other big gamblers are also said to
have lost amounts ranging from $40, 900
to $4,000. Grammar, who used to be fol.
lowed about the betting ring by big crowds
who followed his plays, is now regarded as
q Jonah and his plays are coppered.
Four furlonRs-Casper won, Orseno Sec
ond, Lindendale third time 81.
Seven MISUNDERSTANDING won, Kowal-
sky second, Don Pho Pico third; time
1:29I4.
Handicap hurdle race, two miles, eight
hurdles, California stakes-St. Brandon
won: Bellringer second, Contentment
third; time 8 :4S.
Five furlongs-George Miller won, Mobo-
lasca second, Derfargilla third time
:Ol31.
Seven furlongs-Sea Spray won, For.
tuna second, Hermanita third; time
:291s.
Seven furlongs-O won. Foremost
second, Schnitz third; time :2SH.
There is now little doubt that the pres
ent racing season, which closes in May,
will be the last ever held at the Bay dis
trict track. The railroad company which
owns the property has signed contract
for the grading and filling in of land. An
immense amount of earth will be required
and the contractors are negotiating for the
purchase of Lone mountain, one of the
land marks of the city. Lone mountain is
an immense sand hill and il is the inten-
ton to level the mountain and use the
sand for filling in the bay distract track
ground.

From Goodwater.

Ed. Register-After a three weeks
drouth, we were blessed by abundant
rainfall on the 10th inst, and at diff
ferent times during the four days and
nights following. Since then no rain
has fallen hereabouts and the intense
heat has so rapidly evaporated the
moisture from the soil that we are now
needing rain again. but it is feared
that we shall have q long, severe
dFouth.
Corn has been thriving since the
rains; the same is true in regard tc
grass in fields and pastures, and tc
vegetables.
The wheat crop was quite light in
this locality, Though farmers expect
ed an unusually heavy yield of oats,
most of them were disappointed. The
hay-crop yielded we'll. but much of i
was badly damaged by the rains.
No serious damage resulted by rea
son OF high waters hereabouts; fol-
though the rainfall was copious. the
heaviest down-pour did not last long Al
time ana consequently the waters
had time to subside between the differ
emit short periods of the harvest rains
owing to the drouth which preceded
the rains the earth was ready to re
ceive and store q large quantity o
water and the overlooking of the
streams was thereby checked, and In
MANY cases prevented.
