YUBA AND SUFFER-.

MARYSVILLE, CAL, March 1S.-Care-
full inquiry regarding the probable yield
of grain in Yuba and Sutter counties in
1897 develops the fact that for the FIST
time in many years failure must be re-
corded. Owing to unusual rains which
extended into the sowing season, the acre
age given to cereals will be the smallest
ior many years.
AS yet the outcome of the barley crop
is pro oblematical. Should the latter part
OF March bring spell of clear weather
many acres will be sown to barley with
the prospects good for a very fair yield.
But the total yield of cereals Will hardly
exceed % per cent of last year crop. The
hay crop may iare better, but that, too,
will be short by about so per cent.
Hthere are no severe frosts the fruit
crop Will be up to the average and of fair
quality.
WHEATLAND, CAL, March 1s.-Pres-
ent conditions are favorable for the
farmer. Hop men are busy plowing and
pruning. Yards are in good condition
ana prospects are for the usual full crop.
Growing grain is in excellent condition.
The wheat acreage will not be as large as
was expected, because it has been itnpos-
sible for farmers to plow and SOW during
the past six weeks.
The barley crop will be short.
good fruit crop is indicated. The
almond trees are full of blossoms and
other fruit trees show plenty of buds.

ride on the even-money favorite, Grande-
zia. II may not have been the best ride
ever seen on racecourse, but there have
been many others equally as bad if not
more gauzy that passed unnoticed. Take.
for instance, the exhibition furnished by
Slaughter astride NJ .dlo. That came in
fo- no judicial frown. The one is compar-
atively green boy in the saddle, while
Slaughter is accounted one of the crack
Western lightweights. Many other
efforts could be enumerated that had a
threadbare look, but the jockeys had
reputation, their employers were men OF
wealth and position and they were set
down as mistakes, possibly, or errors OF
judgment.
On board the wrecked steamer Sunol
were two mares owned b. B. c. Holly
Melanie and May Elkins, which had been
bred to Libertine and were being returned
to Mr.. Holly's Vallejo ranch. Melanie
was drowned. but the less valuable OF the
pair was picked up by passing tug.
Plttsburg Phil was fortunate to pick
the last race one, two, and, as he backed
his opinion quite extensively, quit the day
q handsome winner.
Eddie Creamy was about the track, and
some of the uppercuts he smote the air
in explaining to listening friends how
Fitz sent in that heart blow created a
draught through the grand stand.
The tip on Devauit was a warm one,
causing his price to rapidly fall from 10 to
4. He showed speed, but was not ridden
to the best advantage by J. Shields.

The Merchants Association Is bound
that San Francisco shall have new char
ter, and the recent defeat at the polls has
served simply to make it more eager than
ever to make charter that will contain
no Objectionable features.
Accordingly the following communica-
tions with regard to bills bearing upon
the charter question were sent to the
Legislature and to Governor Budd:
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. March II, 1897.
TO the Honorabe Members Of the Senate and
assembly OF the State Of acknowledgements
The Merchants Association of San Francisco
earnestly reques Is your favorable action upon
Senate constitutional amendment 49, amend
ing ar ticle XII Of the constitution of the State
by adding new section thereto to be known
as No. 81, relating to consolidated city and
county governments.
This amendment 10 the constitution is abso-
lutely essential to the proper operation of the
government of San Ftancisc,. 1t will extri-
cate this City from its dual capacity Of both
City and County. This uncertain condition
has confused the laws governing this munich
paity and unless thus altered will result i'll
serious complications.
Senate constitutional amendment 35 has
had the unanimous Endorsement OF the Boar d
OF Superv sors of this City and County as well
as OF the Merchants Association, ana we sin
cerely hope that You will submit 1t to the
electors OF the State. Very respects ully yours,

bly, bill No. 9o3 as passed By the Senate and
Assem- bly, Is OF great i'm portance to San Fran
CISCO. 1t will ma terially lessen the otherwise
heavy expense of holding special elections to
elect boards of freeholders and to vote upon
proposed charters.
San Francisco has made four futile attempts
to secure freeholders' charter under the pres
ent constitution of California. This expert
ence has cost the City about 800, 900.
Within the next TWO years there will in all
probability be another special election for
freeholders and upon City charter. This bill
will save much unnecessary expense to the
1t has had the unanimous in
dorsement of the Board OF Supervisors of this

Horseracing was secondary considera-
ton at Emeryville yesterday. The re-
turning pilgrims from Carson were be-
sic ed on all SIDES with questions as TO
whether the best man won, and for the
time being tips were away below par.
However, the ring managed now and
then to scare up little excitement, man.
aging to about make expenses.
The rain laid the dust, leaving the
track just a trif1e slow. Favorites were
successful at three essays.
The longest priced winner of the after
noon was Billy Magranes old gelding,
Baron. He was one of twelve starters in
the t ird event, mile purse affair, and
backed from 10 to Z to 1, fought it out all
the way with Una Colorado, another out
slider, eventually getting the verdict by a
head through "Skeets" Martins superior
riding. Peter the Second, the 6 to ia
vorite, got up in time to take the show.
The first race at five and half furlongs
was split, the best of the sprinters going
to make up the declared-off fourth race.
Seven cheap dogs" furnished the excite
ment. Zamloch, with to 2 about him,
was made slight choice over Sea Spray
and Blue Bell. Thorpe on Billy Ayers, a
to shot. took the lead from Blue Bell
before much of the ground had been COW
cred and hard ridden at the end, Charley
kept his mount in front long enough to
lead Sea Spray out neck in :1O31.
The Burns & Waterhouse colt managed
to strike ano her soft berth In he *
furlong selling sprint that followed, al
though Thorpe took matters easily, and
had 10 hustle his mount along al the end.
The colt was Z 10 10 choice and won out
head before ST. Dlstaff, against which
II to l was laid. Rienzi, which lead to
the stretch. was third.
Taking the place of the declared-off
fourth race was a five and half furlong
selling dash with Major Cook. Toano,
Csndor, Miss Ross, Amelia Fonso and SIR
r chard as starters Major COOK. with
Tod Sloan up, was made an to favorite
and experienced no difficulty in winning
as he pleased from Candor, IL to l
chance, ridden by Charley Thorpe. Anne.
liza Fonso was third.
The crotchety and uncertain Joan upset
calculations in The seven-furlong run next
decided. Backed from skies 10 10 l. she
passed both Apto and the even money
choice GrandeZia in the run home pass
ing the judges full seven lengths in front
of the favorite. The heavily played
Claudiana came on at the end, securing
third money.
Liberal scratching reduced the mum Der
of starters in the final six and half fur
long sprint to seven. Backed from evens
down to to TO- Applause always held her
field safe and won well in hand, two
lengths in advance of the sec nd choice
Caliente. The poorly ridden Midlo was
third.

.TULARE COUNTY.

TULARE, CAL, March 1S.-The pros
poets for an ABUNDANT crop OF grain. hay
and fruits never looked so promising as at
the present time. The most generous and
equally distributed rainfall for many
years makes large crop an absolute GER
tainty.
To date $50 inches of rain has fallen,
and should we fail to get another drop we
would reap much more than an average
crop, and as for fruit-barring late frosts-
we shall have the largest yield in the MS
tory Of this county.
Occasional light frosts have fallen, but
so far no damage has been done, ana In
fact the continued cool weather Is re-
garded as favorable to the fruit The
ground is thoroughly wet and few warm
days would cause all fruits and vegetation
10 grow very rapidly. Old residents OF
Tulare declare they never saw such rlch
promise OF a bountiful harvest since ioe4.
An immense acreage of wheat has beer
sown, and without exception II all looks
we'll. The fruit yield OF 1897 Will exceed
tnat oil any year since this became fruit
producing section.
