The candidates for governor
spoke here last Saturday, and al.
though only a short time was given
TO make the announcement known,
between 600 and 800 came in from
the country to hear them. Tom
@. Rye, esq, introduced the cham
pion of Democracy in eulogistic
terms, and he was accorded o gen.
erous welcome. John 7. Hill, esq,
introduced Mr.. Fowler in most
dattering terms. The candidates
confined themselves chiefly to State
issues, and Mr. McMillin soon
demonstrated that he had his OPP
ponent on the defensive. Mr..
Fowler made few seemingly
strong points, but they were met
by Mr. McMillin and refuted point
for point. Mr. Fowler is a foeman
not to be despised, and, as has
been said, it is no disparagement
to say that stronger men than he
would be over-matched by the
masterly and skillful statesman
and campaigner, Benton McMillin.
The candidates are conducting the
canvas on a high plane Of reason
ing and argument, and Democrats
are well pleased to have it so.

COURSING

The attendance at the coursing Agri-
cultural park yesterday was larger than that
upon any OF the race days, except two, dur
ing the recent meeting. A lair estimate OF
the crowd was about 1000 people, the grand
stand being well filled.
The races were excellent from both the
sportsmens and spectators view, and mas
much as about half the rabbits beat the dogs
to the escapes, the gentler sex were simply
"tickled to death"
A good rain is all that is needed to make
the coursing grounds at Agricultural park

Many Of the old-timers have been put
away" because of the speedier dogs bought
and brought here, but the Thanksgiving
card will see Queen b., Gyp and a score OF
others in the field for run.
1t is an English saying. coming down from
centuries, that "a man who loves not music,
his horse and his dog, will never love a
wife" and there are hundreds of men who
will go out Thanksgiving day to see their
old-time favorites run. Win or lose, it will
be all the same. They want the old dogs

ON THE GRIDIRoN

The U. S. c. eleven made rather poor
showing on Saturday afternoon, through
lack OF team work and the poor work OF
individual players. With the exception
OF two or three men, the team failed to
play with dash and strength. The team
and should put up much stronger and
better game against the eleven OF the Pas
adena Athletic association next Saturday.
Manager ii. b. Tebbetts of the Univer-
sity eleven has leased Fiesta park until
January 3, 1899, for football purposes. The
gridiron will be remade, the seating accom-
modations rotitted and first class place
provided.
Mr.. Tebbetts intends to have games in the
park every week, and on Thanksgiving day
Pomona college and the University will
play their annual game there. He has also
made arrangements for game early in De-
cember, between the Varsity team and the
famous, Indian eleven of the Phoenix In
dustrial school.
Occidental college and the Pasadena high
school will play at Pasadena on next Sat
urday, the ed.
The University of California again defeat
ed the Olympics on Saturday by score OF
IL to 0. The game was the best played in
San Francisco this season and the Berkeley
team made better showing than in the
hrst game with the club men. The Olym-
pic had been greatly strengthened by the
addition of several veteran players and put
up much stronger game than against Stan
ford. a week previous.
California has seventeen men at the train
ing table and more enthusiasm has been
aroused this season than has been displayed
in any season for three years.
At Stanford the interest does not seem
to be as keen, and the practice work lacks
ginger. The first and second elevens play
a stiff practice game every night, but the
men seem listless. Phil Wilson of this
city is playing brilliant game at left tackle,
The work of Rae Smith Of Los Angeles, at
end, is highly praised, and he is also sure of
his position; The men are now under strict
training rules and should show a marked
improvement in their work.

THE LONDON MARKETS
Political Uncertainties Make Trading

prevailing influences discouraging buyers.
Though war is not looked for between Great
Britain and France, the Fashoda affair is a
grave matter; while the reported military
the activity OF the anarchists are additional
disturbing factors. The only wonder is that
the relapse in prices was no greater. The
American market was the only one to dis
play strength and frmness, these charac-
teristics being entirely due to New York
buying. At the close of the week, how
ever, Americans were weaker.
The advance in the bank rate was dis

low the banks lead. Discounts were from
39s to 3A per cent from day to day, and 31s
