THE TURF

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. A.-With
the exception of the handicap and the
fifth race the poorest lot of horses that
were ever gathered together before a
San Francisco audience, contested for
supremacy at the Bay district track
today.
The mile and an eighth handicap con-
sisted OF but four entries, but never
theless the finish between Logan, Lit
tie Cripple and Fred Gardner was very
close, the horses finishing heads apart
in the order named. The Ell Primero
stables black filly Summertime, heav-
lily backed favorite won the fifth race
easily from good field of tiliies.
notwithstanding the Door class of
horses entered, five favorites and one
third choice were the winners today.
The officials of the California Jockey
club have rescinded their order denying
G. B. Morris the privilege of entering
horses at the Bay district track and
henceforth the entries of this gentle
man will be accepted. Mr.. Morris apol-
ogized to the judges for his hasty re-
marks made over decision given
against him, explaining that he was
unduly excited at the time. The apol-
ogy was accepted. Weather cloudy and
cool, track heavy.

THE WHEEL.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Among the
more interesting exhibits at the bicy-
Gle exposition this week is a splendid
specimen of the sextupIe road machine.
This particular machine, which weighs
$50 pounds and is geared to 1872 is to
figure in the decision of a wager that
has been made during the week be-
tween certain exhibitors in the garden.
The maker and some of his friends
have bet a sum of money that they
can select a crew of six men who can
beat the Empire express train on the
New York Central railroad in a run of
half mile. The attempt is to be made
sometime in May. A level stretch of
about three miles along the railroad
track will be carefully laid out, track
fashion to a width OF five feet, and
some fine day when the engineer of the
train least expects it, the sextuple will
start on it's task, of course with a
flying start.

SCORES BRITAIN.

Resuming. Mr.. Frye spoke of Great
Britain's course with bitter sarcasm.
Great Britain had been the steadfast en-
envy of the United States; Great Britain
had harmed the United States at every
opportunity. Great Britain had for years
tainted the United States for Stacking
the slaves, and yet when the north struck
off those shackles, Great Britain did
everything to help the Confederacy to
destroy the United States government
for no reason but to have the Confed-
eracy as her customer. Great Britain
had never shown the slightest friend
shin for the United States. And now
Great Britain stood idly by when she
had the power to stop these barbarities:
Mr. Frye proceeded with much vigor and nd
earneStness to say that if necessary, IN
order to protect American citizens he
would order the American ships to sail
up the Dardanelles, regardless of the
European alliance, and when in front of
Constantinople demand, as we then
might, the protection of our people with

STRONG ENOUGH.

Mr.. Frye proceeded to show that the
united states was strong enough ana
quite as willing as England to protect
its citizens whose lives and property
were imperiled abroad. All he asked, he
said, was that we should make England
our model in this one respect, and then
American citizens would be safe in Tur-
key or elsewhere.
Mr. Call followed commencing the ut
terancesa of Mr.. Frye, and saying that,
compared with these, the senate reSolu-
lions were emasculated and feeble. He
commended for a stronger expression and
urged that we should fight our battles
abroad when display of our force was
needed: and not in the senate.

THE candidacy of William E. Lee for
the gubernatorial nomination gains
strength day by day, and the indications
are most favoroble. The state house
machine is lighting him more bitterly
than any other candidate. for it has
most to fear from him and his friends.
With Mr.. Lee out of the way it would
have little difficulty in effecting its pur
poses. The HEAALD is confident that
the nomination and election of Mr.. Lee
would mark the commencement ola new
era IN Minnesota politics, Pernicious
bossism would decay, and the state, in
all the ramifcations gifts business inter
ests would be placed upon business
basis. There is no implied reflection up
on the present or past administrations
in this assertion, other than the fact
that the present manipulatlons of the
machpe-tbe bosses who desire length
ened lease of power-consider a public
Office private snap, and desire to per-
petuate this order OF things indefinitely.
Mr.. Lee is committed to better methods.
He is thorough-going business man,
who believes in apply economic business
methods to state affairs with the same
rigidity he would to personal affairs
He has no sympathy with ring politics
The machine is not more bitterly op
posed to Mr. Lee than he is to it. Every
citizen who shares this aversion to ring
politics is logically driven to the support
of Mr.. Lee. And he will win.
