Motley pays Bismarck the tribute,

the men in the mob recognized him they
scowled at him furiously He at once

thanked him and received polite bow in
return. When the late John Morrlssey

HILDRETH MAY NOT
COME TO CALIFORNIA
RUMoRED THAT HE HAS SOLD
HIS STABLE OF HORSES.
Said to Have Accepted Princely Of
fer to Train Sidney FACETS
Great String of Cracks.

The latest in horse circles is the start
ling intelligence that Sam Hildreth has
disposed of portion of his string of
cracks in Chicago and may not send a
stable to race here. The report is also
abroad that he has been offered a big
salary, and has accepted, to train the
horses raced by Sydney Paget the COM
ing year. Clawson has already signed to
ride for this latter turfman next season.
Among Hildreth's string is a horse
owned by Bookmaker John Coleman, and
the layer of odds yesterday received a
telegram stating that he, Hildreth, had
sold portion of his stable and would
turn the balance out, and asking what
disposition to make of the racer. Al
though Hildreth had wired for stalls, this
changed. Sam is said, on good author
ity to have cleared SIC, 900 in the East
with his stable, and can afford to take
matters easy. William A. Pinkerton, who
is interested in the racing venture with
Hildreth, stated last evening that he had
not heard from Hildreth, and the report
may be premature.
Jockey Beauchamp, who rode with con-
siderable success on the Montana and
Chicago tracks the past season, arrived
from the East yesterday.
The string of Duke & Wishard got in
yesterday and are now quartered at lngle-
side track. The Reiff brothers, who are
with this stable, will be seen in the saddle
to-day.
August Less, a new man In the bust
ness, but said to be a hummer will be
seen upon the block to-day. Mr.. Less
has been in America but six months.

Regiment, consisting of the First and
Third Battalions, left the Preside yester-
day morning and went on board the

the command of Colonel Wholley. They
left the post at $50 o'clock and were es-
corted for a distance by the Fourth Cav

a cordial send-off by the regular officers
of the post.
Just as soon as the Washington soldiers
had made their exit the companies of the
Eighth California marched in from Fort
Point and took their place. They COM
menced their garrison duty yesterday
Owing to the fact that the troops did
not get on board the Ohio in time for
her to take advantage of the early tide

wall until II o'clock last night, when an
Choir was weighed and the transport be-
gan her long voyage.

ferry, but when the cars returned their
way was impeded, until string of them
