GENTRY AND ROBERT J.
In Double Team They Lower the Worlds
Record to 200.


Philadelphia, Sept. 22.-The famous
PAGERS, John r. Gentry and Robert j.,
hitched together, this afternoon, low
cred the worlds double team record to
2:09 on the track of the Belmont Driv-
ing club The quarters were: 33, 1:O4A,
1877, 200. The previous record was
2:o9A, held by Mrs. w. Ed. Stokes Miss
Rita and Josie B.
With the exception Of a light breeze
the weather conditions were good for
the trial. The track itself was also in
good condition, although it Is rated two
seconds slow by expert turfmen. Be-
tween the other events on the pro-
gramme the two PAGERS were given a
warming up in sulkies. During this
preliminary work Gentry was sent a
mile in 2:14 1t was 4:30 o'clock when
the $500 people present greeted the
famous pair as they came up the
stretch. Robert J. had the pole, They
were hitched to pneumatic tired
wagon, which weighed just sixty-one
pounds. The reins were held by e. r.
BOVINE who tipped the scales at 155
pounds. Bovine took the turf cham
pions twice around the mile track for
a warming up and then started for the
wire.
AS the team came down the stretch
toward the wire Gentry who was the
near horse, broke and they We're taken
back and started again. AS they near
ed the wire second time Bovine gave
the nod to Starter Marshal and they
were off amid the cheers of the crowd.
When the watches recorded thirty three
second for the first quarter the crowd
almost lost hope of the team lowering
the record.
They were going beautifully, how
ever, and the next quarter proved to
be the fastest of the four. This was
made in 51A, or 1:044 for the half mile
AS they passed the half-mile post Cen
try's knee boot came down and every
time he stepped he would hoist his leg
in an effort to free himself of it. Bovine
had the pair well in hand, though, and
the three-quarters was made in 1:37
As they came down the stretch the
pair for some distance kept nicely in
step and they were pacing beautifully
as they passed swiftly under the wire

TIE E1Hn COMMISSIONERS.
Special Meeting Held Last Night-TOp
Story of M0nopole Must Come Down.

Special Meeting Held Last Night-TOp
Story of Monopole Must Come Down.
The fire commissioners held a special
meeting last evening to hear the petit
ton of James p. Dunn, proprietor of
the Hotel Monopole, asking that he be
given a permit to raise his hotel build
ing one story in addition to the raising
already authorized. Mr.. Dunn appear
ed before the board, accompanied by
Architect George C. A. Brown. L. Os-
terweis and Wallace b. Fem, owners
of buildings adjoining the Monopole,
appeared to oppose the granting of the
petition
Fire Marshal Hubbard some time ago
gave Mr.. Dunn a permit to raise his
building so that 1t would be five stories
in height, by raising the fourth story
to full height and building on an addi-
tional story.
When Mr. Dunn began putting up a
sixth story and tower on top Of that,
adjoining property owners protested
because they claimed that the walls of
the Monopole were not thick enough
to stand such a weight and because the
sixth story was being built of wood,
whereas the permit for raising was to
build the addition of brick and iron
Mr.. Dunn claimed last evening that
he had understood that his permit was
to make his building six stories high.
He also said that he had intended to
put a. corrugated iron roof on the build
ing and had been advised that a wood
en- top story, rooted in this way, would
be as fire proof as brick and iron also
as strong.
On suggestion of Commissioner We'll
it was finally voted to instruct the fire
marshal to see that the extra story is
pulled down and INSTRUCTED according
to law.
The board looked over the unexpend-
ed balances in the department and vot-
ed to request permission from the court
of common council to use for various
purposes in the department these bal
anceS.
A petition from w. II. Arfman, ask
ing permission to remove gable of the
house at No. 1871 Temple street and
to replace it with Mansard roof. was
referred to the committee on permits.
The board will meet next Tuesday
evening to consider estimates for the
department for next year.

EHANE NJ. DOOLEY,S BRATERY.
Alone and Unaided Saves Horse and
Puts Out a Barn Blaze.

About 8 O'Clock last evening Frank
M. Dooley, a supernumerary policeman,
met a crowd of excited men and boys
tearing around on East street in the
neighborhood of Grand avenue, trying
to get key to the fire alarm box. He
stopped them and kept them from ring
ing in an alarm as he saw it was not
nece ssary. With great GOODNESS he
rushed into the barn of J. ]. Kiernan,
at 800 East street, from which smoke
was pouring in dense volumes. The
hay was ablaze under a horse that was
stabbed there. Officer Dooley succeeded
in freeing the animal and extinguished
the blaze saving the barn without call
ing out the fire department. His braV-
cry was cheered by the crowd that
quickly gathered on the scene.

Austin, Texas, Sept 22.-Yellow fever
has appeared In Texas. Governor Gull
berson received a telegram from State
Health officer Swearingen to-day an
nouncing that a genuine case of yellow
fever was in existence at Beaumont.
The case which is that of a small boy,

WORKFOR AN AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE

AS the Chaffey college is opening an
agricultural department for the benefit
of Southern California 1t seems to be
good opportunity to call attention to sew
eral lines of work which such an insti-
tuition may pursue. We will give but
hints, but they must suffice for the pres
ent.
Tristan immense field opens in the
study of plant life and plant food, in
cluding. of course, the nature and re-
quirements of soils and their adaptation
to the numberless products with which
mother earth supplies her children. Ex-
periments in this direction may be made
not only on the college grounds. but
under the supervision of trained experts
of the department wherever ranchmen
may call for such tests.
Second-The subject of fertilization
ard fertilizers calls for thorough inves-
tigation. Qualities and values must be
determined. Sources, proportions and
availability must be taken into account
both scientifically and practically
Third-Irrigation will demand no lit
tie attention, that the best and most eco
nomicai methods may be used. The
water stored in our mountains is of
more value than the gold in our mines
If, like spendthrfts. we waste these
treasures we shall come to want
Fourth-The closest study should be
given to the enemies of our trees and
crops, whether in the form of diseases
or living beast of prey. If a college
could enable the fruit grower to destroy
one pest like the red scale, hundreds of
thousands of dollars would be trifie to
pay for such a benefit.
Fifth-Forestry has ramifications that
reach out like the branches of some huge
liveoak The public is but just waking
up to the bearing of these interests on
the future prosperity and wants of the
state.
Sixth-Such a college ought to assure
throughout the wide circle of it's infiu-
erce general uplifting in the knowl-
edge and taste of the people. Well kept
grounds. hedges of various sorts, flowers
of the best description, would not only
delight the visitor but would create and
feed a love for the beautiful. In the
course of time Southern California
ought to become one vast garden of
beauty unequaled elsewhere on the face
of the globe. Chaffey college may do
much for such consummation, so de-
voutly to be wished.

UNRELIABLE FIGURES

From advance sheets o. the coming
report Of Prof. L. w. Hilgard, of the
University of California, we clip this
paragraph:
"Of citrus fruits Southern California
has 1225,946 bearing orange trees and
1,709,76 non-bearing orange trees and
Lemons, bearing i45.145, nom bearir &
o,156; total, $500 1t is estimated that
The Southern California ora-ge crop this
season will amount to 1000, 600 boxes, and
lemons 100000"
AS to the acreage, we have rot at hand
the exact figures, so we will let that pass.
But the estimates for the crop are al
most ludicrously wild. Four million
much at the widest estimate for this
boxes 10 the car, would reach the enor-
nous figure of 1898 carloads. Inas-
much as the widest estimates for this
season was only 10000 carloads, while
conservative and close figures said not
over 5000 cars, and the real figures Will
only give about $500 cars, it will be seen
that the State university is not over re-
liable, in this case at least.
Such wild gueSsWork does a great deal
of harm to the fruit grower. 1t does
harm also to the landseller, as the in
tending purchaser would stop and think
where and how 14,000 cars of oranges
would o. could profitably be marketed.
Then, when he saw from the same-sup-
posedly-authoritativ source, that there
were already young orchards, not yet in
be airing. sufficient to bring the product
up TO the enormous amount of 80. 000 car
loa is, he would naturally conclude that
there was prospect of overriding tn a
matter.
The State university ought to be care
full and conservative in its work. ard not
scatter facts, which are not facts, over
the world There is too much Of that
kind of work being done by those not lln-
der pay from the state.--Citrograph

SIrPPLY COMITTEE.

The supply committee yesterday met
and adopted following report for submis-
sion to the council Monday:
Your supply committee to whom Were
referred the bids of the Crescent Coal
company and D. f. McGarry for supply
ing the various departments of the city
with coal. would respectfully recon-
mend that no contract be entered into
at present for the purchase of coal, and
that the bids above referred to be filed.
In the matter of the ordinance in re-
lation to garbage cans, your committee
would respectfully report recommend
ing that the draft of same is submitted
by the city attorney be adopted.
Your committee would respectfully
call the attention of your honorable
body to the fact that some provision 9TH
er than that now existing should be
made for the purchase of supplies for
the various departments of the city.
At present e2ch department is purchas-
ing its own stock without having pTovis-
ions made for keeping account of same,
and with the result that amounts are
carried in excess of the immediate de-
mand in some departments, while 9TH
ers will be in need of same. ] is the
opinion of this committee that the clerk
should be designated as the purchaser
and custodian of all supplies of the va
rious departments: that he should be
provided with a place to keep same in
his immediate care and deliver upon
requisition of the various departments.
We feel that in this manner larger
quantities could be purchased, better
prices obtained, and closer check kept
upon all supplies.
