REVIEW OF The RACES
TOGETHER WITH SOME OF THE
EVENTS TO GOMEZ
TUESDAY TO BE LADIES' DAY
1rarplot, Moringa and La Goleta Will
: Go Against All Records on That
Day-Wheeler and Thorne

The first weeks racing at Agricultural
park has been handicapped by a dearth
Of the one thing that is particularly es-
set1tial to success, viz, horses Inc man
agement was disappointed in the nom
arrival of string of horses now in Ken
lucky. and, besides, all of the speeders
expected from the northern part OF the
state have not arrived. Every effort Is be-
ing made to supply the deficiency, ana the
indications are that achievements Will be
on hand early this week. Considering the
limited number on hand, however, the
snort in the past week has been very good
and in some features even remarkable.
1t is not often that four such runs as
those made by La Goleta, Moringa, Mar
plot and Grady are made in one meet, let
alone in one week. La Goleta's perform
ance was five-eighths of mile in one
minute flat within one-quarter of second
of the coast record Moringa's. six and
half furlongs in 30, within three-fifths of
q second of the worlds record: Marpaots.
one and an eighth miles in 1881, the best
time ever made on the Pacific coast by
3-year-old.
Another remarkable performance was
that of the old campaigner, Grady, in his
race with Marplot and Petrarch. The
course was one and half miles, but the
mile was made in :39. breaking all rec
ords for like distance in a 1la-mile race.
The distance was run in 2:32i2. claimed by
some to equal the worlds record, but be-
lieved to be one-quarter second slower.
Tuesdays Event
This series of remarkable performances
and the near approaches to record breaking
have led the management to encourage an
effort to another attempt. A special race
has therefore been arranged for Tuesday,
In which La Goleta, Moringa and Marplot
will contend for honors. In addition to the
ordinary purse, 800 is offered to the horse
equaling or beating the coast record of
:S9A for one mile or the worlds record of
1:3ss4 for the same distance Each horse
will carry 80 pounds. Tuesday has also
been made ladies' day and admission to
both the grounds and the grand stand will
be free to the fair sex.
Thorn and Wheeler Again
Those who witnessed the interesting race
of Saturday. in which Little Thorn won as
so to l shot, will be pleased to learn that
the race will be repeated the latter part of
the week. 1t is contended that Joe Wheeler
is much faster than Little Thorn, and
that his failure to carry away the money
on Saturday was due to the fact that 1t
was his first race this season, and he was,
hand, Little Thorns admirers claim he is

sign it.
De Groot again visited General Miller
who told him: 1.-THE colonel thinks II IS
BEST under the circumstances, not to pun
ish the man.
When asked concerning this matter last
night General Miller expressed surprise
that the facts had got out. and declared m
a very positive way: "1'n say nothing about
1t. It's private affair"

PAWNBROKER'S INTEREST
Cannot Exceed Two Per Cent Monthly
According to Court Ruling

Justice Kerrigan of San Francisco has
just ruled that pawnbroker's interest
cannot exceed per cent per month. His
decision is based on section $3.50 of the Penal
Code, which limits the rate of unlicensed
pawnbrokers' interest to 10 per cent per
year, and it is fortified by the following
decision of the supreme COURT
1T is well known that persons frequent
Ing the offices of pawnbrokers are gener-
ally the reckless ard needy and IMPROVE
dent, who require the protection of the
law; to no other class of money lenders
do the same reasons apply; men driven by
the necessities of their situation resort to
the pawnbrokers and pledge any and all
articles in their possession in order to raise
money and they are not particular about
the rate of interest charged them. Pawn
brokers are not allowed to do a certain act
because the legislature In its wisdom
deemed it injurious and harmful to permit
them to do the prohibited act, but the like
necessity for a rule of prohibition did not,
in the opinion of the law-making power.

Two young ladies came to town from
Skowhegan, last Friday, and by their
winning ways and interesting stories
prevailed upon several of our prominent
merchants to sell them quantity of
goods on credit. Later suspicion
arose that all was not right and the
matter WAS put into the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Harding who succeeded in To-
eating the parties and procured the
goods. The parties gave assumed
names and evidently meant to defraud
the merchants says the Madison Bulletin.

How HIS little heart thrilled!

Did he sing to win from his mates APP

He couldn't help singing; he sang because
His soul was af1ame.
And his music came
As the brook goes dancing adown the hill.
Applause? No. never; he couldn't keep
still.
