THE HORSE

Trainers have begun to discuss the
chances of the California derby candi-
dates, says, the San Francisco Chronicle
of Saturday. This event will be run
next month, and a select field is sure to
go to the post. Many a famous derby
performer has hailed from California,
and especially from the Santa Anita
ranch. The three colts most talked
about at present are Good Times. Aqui-
mas and Howard S. If the race is run
over muddy track the chances of Good
Times will be increased.
Aqinas has shown the best form OF
any of the probable starters, and he is
being given an especial preparation for
this event. He Is quite weight-packcr
and has shown a decided liking for
route. 1t is thought that the distance
10 little far for Caspar, but he will
nevertheless take whole lot of beat
ing over a slushy track. Pat Dunn will
send Estaca after this event. This colt
has shown considerable improvement,
but whether he is made of derby caliber
remains to be seen. His sire, Emperor
of Norfolk, annexed the great American
derby in the easiest possible style.
Charley Boots will be represented
with either The Roman or Hohenzol-
iern. Both these colts showed fair form
as tWO-ytdI-OloS, DuL tney nave re-
Gently been kept in the background. The
Santa Anita representative promises to
be Ell Delacado, q SON of Emperor OF
Norfolk and Aloha. 1t will be remem-
bered that Aloha is the dam of Rey ell
Santa Anita, whose derby victory at 80
to 1 created quite a breeze.
Burns e. Waterhouse have ten eligi-
BILE for the event. but the majority of
them have not lived up to their two
year-old form. still this stable is sure
to send a couple Of good colts to the
post. The most promising of the other
entries are Indio, Lincoln II. Arezzo,
Suisun. Scarf Pin. George Palmer, Fleur
de Lis and, Lumira.
1t certainly looks as II both racing as
sociations have made a mistake in set
ting their star events so late in the sea-
son. The California derby Spreckels
cup and Burns handicap should all have
been run off in the month of March, in
stead of April In such an even all the
good Jockeys would have been able tc
ride and again all the players would
have been here The mistake will doubt
less be remedied next season.
New good two-year-olds are being
sprung from day to day, and 1t will be
a month before an intelligent opinion
can be ventured in regard to the crop
Of 1897. While no Crescendo has shown
up. there are more good two-year-olds
on an average than ever before in Cali
fornia.

A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING
Arrived at by DR.. Thomson and fis
Congregation
The Pastor Explains His Position and the
People Promise Co-operatlon-fiar-
monious Lines Laid

Another congregational meeting was
held at Unity church last night at which
DR.. Thomson, the trustees and the con-
gregation came to some sort of an un-
derstanding.
DR.. Thomson presented first some OF
his reasons for his dissatisfaction, and
spoke of his desire to remain with his
congregation should the cause be done
away with The pastors talk was en-
tirely informal; he touched first upon
the salary question, which he thought
should be put on proper basis. He
felt there was no zeal, no dignity, in the
way the finances of the church had been
managed In the past. Some of them
had forgotten the main purpose OF the
church, which was a religious one.
Greater exertion was necessary and
greater influence. DR.. Thomson then
alluded to some private matters.
The next point touched upon was the
work of the women of the church. The
speaker felt there should be some plan
some organization, by which the best
interests of the; church should b,
furthered The idea of any work being
done for other than church organiza-
tions was strongly disapproved, OF that
in the church any work should be done
for outside interests; the church should
be honest before being generous, and
should pay its debts before giving away
anything to outside organizations. The
speaker believed In charity; he said he
and his wife gave hundreds of dollars
each year of which no one knew but
the church work should come first; If
it gave all to charity, what should be-
come of its own support?
DIR. Thomson then took up the Ques-
ton of pastoral calls and social visits.
He said he had a thousand calls from
those in trouble and distress; he had
no time for the so-called social calls;
he thought the best way to promote go
ciability was by eating and drinking;
that he would go to any number OF
dinners or teas If wanted, and he would
be as sociable as possible, but he could
not do the pastoral visiting, as he had
said when he first came to Los Ange-
les.
Niles Pease, Thomas Pascoe, A. H.
Harris and j. r. Newberry all made
short addresses. Mr.. Harris especially
touched on the lack of acquaintance and
sociability in the church, and urged an
effort to overcome this; he paid the
highest tribute possible to DR.. Thomson
as did Mr.. Pascoe. both men believing
his influence widespread and powerful.
The cooperation with the ladies of the
church seemed to be difficult point,
but this was finally obviated and a
March "a, at 4 o. M, when, with joint
meeting of the ladies and the trustees
of the church, some harmonious lines of
work may be evolved that will restore
the good fellowship and strength of the
church.

San Francisco Chronicle. 1t is now de-
clared that Spreckels and Leake gave

, defeated in a plan to secure control of
the club to the injury of the other
stockholders Notwithstanding the reti-
cence of the other directors, some Of
the facts in the case have leaked out
Sprckels, at the instance of Leake, 1t is
said, had planned a coup by which he
would be given supreme authority at
the Ingleside track. Secretary Leake Is
charged with having led Spreckels into
the scheme to further his own ends, so
that he might become the autocrat Of
Ingleside.
p, In carrying out this plan, 1t Is charged
that Leake sold a block of the associa-

and Sink was compelled to restore the

State Senator Sam N. Androus of Po-
mona has been elected president, and j.
H. Tade has succeeded Mr.. Lake as
secretary.
In an interview with a Chronicle re-
porter at Sacramento Senator Androus
said: MY election as president of the
Pacific Jockey club was a great surprise
to me. l was one of the organizers of
the club and a director and have taken
great interest in track affairs
The Los Angeles senator occupied a
neutral position in the recent disagree
rient between Spreckles and Corrigan
and is regarded as a friend of BOTH In
speaking of the position conferred upon
him he said that he had been taken by
surprise and could not at this time out
lire any plans for the future of the
Ingleside track. He spoke in the high
est terms of the retiring president and
secretary.
Senator Androus has been a resident
of Pomona, Los Angeles county, for
some years. Prior to that he lived in
Detroit. Mich. and was engaged in the
tobacco business, having been one of the
largest cigar manufacturers in the
country.
When the news reached Sacramento
early last evening a number of the
friends of Androus assembled at the
Golden Eagle, stripped him of his black
tie, put on a white one. and presented
him with a horseshoe diamond pin.

THE WHEEL

On next Saturday evening, March 20,
Mine Host Crank of the Live Oak villa
will entertain the wheelmen of this Sec

Side boys expect to ride out in body
and return by moonlight. Invitations
can be had from the members of the
club and local L. A. w. officers.
The Orange county wheelmen will run
a road race on April srd, in the after
noon. The city trustees of Santa Ana
have given their consent to allow the
use of the streets for the race.
The last road race was knocked into
a cooked hat by the trustees passing
an ordinance prohibiting road racing

are $50 for first $25 for second, SIS for

ord, $40 for third. The tournament
opens March goth. The prize list foots
up $3.50 for seven nights racing, quite a
drop from the widely circulated reports
Of $4,000 prize list and $4,000 for
match races. The races will be run un :

of American Wheelmen would control
road racing Is a mistake. The assembly
decided, to take cognizance of road rae
ing to the extent Of Furnishing offenders
against the racing rules when such Of
fense Is committed on the road. The
resolution expressly admits that road
racing is illegal.
Somebody with fondness for figures
shows the large increase in the bicycle
business in the following paragraph:
Prior to 1896 there were but six bicycle
factories in this country. In that year
there were 1000 machines turned out.
Five years later there were II factories,
with an output of 10000 wheels. In 1894
the factories increased rapidly. and 125,
600 machines were turned out. A year
later the production was $4,000, and the
number Of factories more than 500, none
year. The capital invested in these
large factories is 100000 900. and the es.
innate of the output for the present year
is not les than 100000 wheels, valued at
}6o. .00o. 900.

Married, at the residence of the
brides parents, by Rev. Samuel Mil
Ter, on Wednesday, October 27, 1897,
Mr.. Chas. Guthrie and Miss Emma
Speicher, both of Garrett county,
Md.
At high noon the happy couple de-
scended from an upper chamber and
were escorted to the spacious parlor
of the Speicher residence, into the
presence of about sixty of the rela-
tives and friends, by Mr.. Henry Spei-
cher and Miss Ada Rush, when
Immediately, by a few short and
impressive words, they were pro-
nounced man and wife.
After the congratulations had been
received the happy couple were ush-
cred into the dining room where the
table stood fairly groaning beneath
its load of the palatable luXuries
which constitutes a wedding dinner,
and for which the Speicher residence
is noted. After dinner the usual
amount of visiting was INDUCED in
until near four o'clock, when the
guests repaired to their respective
homes, delighted with the exquisite
manner in which they were enter
tanned, and will long remember the
host and hostess for their hospital
ity.
The groom is a son of Rev. Joseph
Guthrie, and is a bright and intelli-
gent young man, his present occupa-
ton being farming. The bride is
well known in Accident and vicinity,
being most respected young lady.
May they have a long happy life is
the wish of all.
