BEATEN BY A SCANT HEAD
The Montana Filly Makes the Best Fin
ish of the Day and the Meeting in
Sizzling Race Against
Martha II.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.


San Francisco, Dec. 23.-Yule, the
speedy Montana filly, ran a wonderful
race at Oakland to-day. She ran
Martha H., the prohibitive favorite, to
a standstill and was only beaten out
by a seant head in a hot drive. 1t was
in the last race of the day, the distance
being six furlongs, and a good field OF
seven started. Martha was as low as
3 to 10 in the betting, while Iule was
little fanced at s to j. Marplot got
away in front, with Yule second and
Hermoso third. Hermoso went 10 the
front and set n furious pace, with Mar
plot trailing. The half mile was run in
48 fiat, too fast for Hermoso and at
the head of the stretch he gave way 10
Martha. Yule was in fourth place 60
ing easily when the drive commenced
and the favorite seemed to have the
race won.
At the paddock Jones got to work on
the chestnut filly and she began surely
to overhaul the leader. In an instant
she passed Hermoso and Marplot. Only
Martha was in front and steadily the
open space between them grew less.
Thorpe saw that the case was desperate
and with all his power he urged the
firing Martha to her best speed, but
still Yule gained. The chestnut nose

flying horses swept under the wire
Martha was winner by a short neck.
while Yule was seven full lengths ahead
OF Marplot. The watches showed 1:1312.
1t was the best finish of the day and
one of the best of the meeting. Martha
and Yule each carried 105 pounds.

Several ears ago, when the famous old
siren whistle was blown SO frequently at
the river mouth--no, not by the river
mouth--a certain east end family owned a
COW. She was just an ordinary cow in all
respects save one. The siren whistle had
remarkable effect upon her, Every
blessed time the whistle started In to wall
and moan that COW started up vigorous
series of moos And the most curious fea-
ture about ii was that the cows vocal eff
fort ran up and down the scale In fairly
close imitation of the whistle.
"Too 90 oooo-ooo" would go the siren
"Moo 90 -oooo -ooop' would 90 the cow.
But there was always n wild crescendo
shrek at the end of the sirens effort that
no cow--no matter how accomplished
rould hope TO rival. And this cow-being
sensible and rather phlegmatic animal
didn't attempt IT, But her efforts within
reasonable limits never failed to arouse
the hilarious attention of the neighbors
and frequently caused strangers TO pause
by the fence and listen open mout6ed to
the astonishing performance. Cleveland

THE GOTHIC is OUT OF DATE.

There is strong feeling i'm the ranks
of the younger and more progressive
American architects, that the one retard-
ing influence in our church architecture
is the persistent effort to retain the Gothic
style as the only churchly form. TO these
men as lavish copying of old forms is a
movement at variance with all progress.
IL the principles Of construction of
medieval churches Is To b. retained as
being adapted i'm many instances to

and sentiment, why slavishly reproduce

FRANKLIN SOCIETY.
Mr.. Reynolds Paper on "a Tr p Into
Quartz Land"

At the regular meeting of the Franklin
Society, at their rooms 81 North Main street,
last evening. Mr.. Henry =. Reynolds read an
interesting paper on "A Trip Into Quartz
Land"
Mr.. Reynolds first gave n general review OF
mining, past and present. He said that an
ore Is mineral compound, usually OF quartz
in some of its many forms, which yields n
paying quantity Of metal. This quartz
usually found in breaks or veins IN the rock
mass, or in material resulting from the dts
integration' OF this quartz by weathering or
other chemical action. Often mineral veins
contain the ores (intermingled) OF several
metals. From such are obtained the worlds
supply OF gold, silver, copper, tin, etc. The
ores are either gathered in threads, pockets
or nuggets, or disse minated in fine grains
throughout the mass. Metals are called
native" when found in a free, uncombined
state. Gold and platinum usually occur free,
and copper frequently, and much less often
silver. However. all commonly exist as
sulphides, chorides oxides and carbonates, or
in other combinations. In the deeper unaltered
portions OF many gold bearing veins the gold
is contained in crystals OF iron pyrites. For
varying depth below the surface gold is
native" and is scattered in minute threads
and grains in the mass OF broken quartz.

bearing rocks.
Mr.Reynolds gave vivid and lifelike pictures
of the prospectors' life in the mountains dur
ing the prospecting season of each year, and
of their hopes, trials and usual disappoint-
meEts. He particularly described Lion Noun
tain in Montana. giving, with map, its geo.
