SAN FRANCISCO. FEB. l9.-Ihe special
three-cornered match race at two miles for
a $1,000 purse and the fact that it was
ladies' day drew a crowd of over 10000
people to Inaleside today. The track was

test, and at post time Basso ruled favorite

and Oakland at AZ to 1. The race was a
pretty one for about mile and half, the
horses running neck and neck with Cad
mus slightly in the lead. At this stage the
once peerless son of Flood was the 6rst to
show signs of distress and Bergen found it
necessary TO 60 to the whip in order to
keep his mount going. Entering the
stretch Basso, who bad been kept under .
wrap. assumed the lead. and sFadIa!ly
drawing away, won in csnter. Oakland

ChicAQO'S Black Sn0v

contained about 4 per cent of the
most delicate organic structures
(such a. diatoms and sporesl
and per cent of the finest possible inor-
ganic matter, such as makes up the orti-

per hour. and is carried to great distances

Associated Press Special Wire.
Ell PAso, Texas, Feb. l9.-The fight was
practically asleep today. The only point
of interest in it was the condition of
Maher's eyes, and of them the report was
as it has been for the last three days,
steadily improving. Fitzsimmons remained
very quiet in his quarters today and gave
the numerous Mexicans who watched him
every time be leaves the house, q chance to
rest themselves. He is doing only very
light work. in order to keep himself in
first.class condition. He Is certainly in
superb shape, and reiterated today his firm
belief that the fight will be avery short one
and that he will be returned an easy win
ner inside of five rounds.
Jack Everhardt went over to Fitzsim-
mons quarters today to help him train,
and will probably be one of his seconds in
the ring. Considerable merrment was
caused at Stuart's headquarters today by
story from Galveston that the fight will be

All sorts of rumors are atloat as to the loca.
ton of the battle-ground, but Stuart is
keeping his own council and not until to-
morrow night will any information be given
as to the location and time for departing OF
the train.
Buck Connolly came in from Las Cruces
tonight and reported Maher as being much
improved. He said his man would be down
on the 1880 train tomorrow and would be
ready to enter the ring at any time after
his arrival. He was not inclined to talk
regarding Maher's general condition. but
Dick Plunkett. who came in from the
Maher camp with Connolly, declared that
Peter was in excellent shape and strong as
an OK. His eyes, according to Plunkett,
were somewhat inflamed, but his general
condition is excellent.

IN. MIlps Peach estimate.

I N. Mills Special Agent of the P w.
& B. R. r, has made his annual esti-
mate OF the peach crop Of the Peninsula
for 1896 and It will be the largest since
1875. Mr. Mills estimate is $500, 900
baskets This will no doubt be a sur
prise to many, as the impression has
been for several years that the number
Of peach trees on the Peninsula was con-
SANITY decreasing, but the fact of the
matter is, while they have been pulled
up in the northern part of this section,
in the southern part of the Peninsula
thousands of young trees have been set
out and they have begun to bear fruit.
Mr.. Mills, before making his estimate,
not only secured information from the
growers, but the buyers as WE'LL aud his
estimate is only made after much obser
walton and after securing the views Of
the largest growers in different sections
of the peach belt.
The June drop this year was very light.
This, Mr. Mills thinks, was on account
of the wet weather. Had the weather
been dry the drop would have been very
heavy. The curcu'io is not dol ng much
damage this season.
The heaviest shipping points on the
Peninsula this season will be as follows:
Millington, Sudlersville aud Prices on

who culled their fruit aud packed the best

Ter kinds-but inferior TO even the Troth

peaches will not be ripe before August,
and until then the market will not be
established at this depot. Delaware rail-

peach shipments from this station this
season will aggregate 500 carloads.
