artillerymen and ten cavalrymen entering
the contest. This consisted of military
maneuvering requiring skill, activity and
agility. AT the start each competitor
stood at line beside his saddle, which
was placed on the ground. The bride and
blanket were on the saddle. and the saber
belt and pistol placed beside it. The
horses were held fifteen yards in the rear
of the saddle. At the note of ''boots and
saddle" each competitor got his horse from
the holder, rode 100 yards, crossed the
finish line, crossed the lett stirrup, and
threw his horse without dismounting.
No Surclngles were used.
This was watched with a great deal of
interest from beginning to end, and the
result was decided on the rapidity OF
execution and dramatic effect. The
throwing of the horse IS accom- lished
by the rider pressing the reins over the
horses nose, and in that way causing him
to get down on his fore knees and lie on
his side. At the buge sound OF ''boots

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, JAN IL, 1897.
Hon. H. 4. Herbert, Secretary United States
NGUy-DEAR SIR: Pursuant to the appointment
OF committee to investigate the rumor that
the Union Iron Works of this City, TO which
has been awarded the building of the Govern
ment gunDoats, is working its employees nine
hours per day in violation of the United States
statutes at large isee vol. %, page 340), which
limits the workday 10 eight hours, the san
Francisco Trades and Labor Alliance is pre-
pared to prove that such rumor is true. And
inasmuch there are in San Francisco many
hundreds of competent mechanics who are
suffering for the need OF the proceeds that
should come from their employment, we re-
gard the violation of the law referred to, by the
Union Iron Works, as being al once illegal and
unjust, and respectfully request that you
cause to be instituted an investigation with
the view of rectifying grievous wrong to the
citizen mechanics and laborers OF this City
and coast, and OF disciplining those who seem
to deem themselves superior TO the law. Re-
specially, MAX BLOCK,
Recording and Corresponding Secretary San

TWO OLD HORSE SALES,

Yesterday our young and hand
some friend Styles Ragland trotted
out several horses of different ages,
and offered them for sale to the
highest and best bidder, He cried
and jambed the air with his melo-
dious voice, and at the same time
tried to entertain a group of witty
populists who stood by making re-
marks about the horses which were
not complimentary to the animals,
Styles is an all round wit, and he
had a picnic with the middle-of-the-
readers, but they never found it
out, as the laugh came after
Styles salIies, they thought they
were receiving the applause. Styles
did not get much money but he
will win out finally in his auction
mart. Just a few hundred feet
away, was another sale-thls one
an "Old IIoss" of unclaimed ex-
press packages, and the way the
suckers bit at tempting packages
made the angels above weep,
Stranger, did you ever attend one
Of these sales2 Well we have, and
while we were liberal with our
money and bought galore, and
carted them home to open, we al
ways found we had bought, init,
and while we stood yesterday in
the presence of the auctioneer and
heard him cry for a better bid and
watched the suckers tumble their
money and run it up, we could not
help but think, all the blasted fools
in the country are not dead yet,
This sale was a grand success and
lasted several hours before the
packages gave out,
