Pacing Race.

Yesterday witnessed the largest at
tendance at the races of any during the
week. There We're probably 5000 people
present. Indeed, each day brought an
increase over it's predecessor, and
smiles wreathed the faces of the Di-

increasing crowds and saw block after

tains its reputation for attendance the
society will have a snug sum to its
credit over and above the cost of the
Fair.
Yesterday being Admission Day, was
legal holiday, and this, added to the
fact that it was Native Sons and
Daughters Day, served to swell the
crowd that went to see the races. The
natives were everywhere, and many
interior cities and counties were repre-
sented by the youth and beauty of their
respective communities.
A pretty feature of the afternoon was
the presence of a dozen young Native
Daughters swarming on the hurricane
| deck of an elegant tally-ho coach,
drawn by four horses. Each carried
a summer parasol and a horn, and when
the young ladies became enthused over
race they would wave their parasofs
and toot their horns vigorously. The
coach occupied a prominent position in
the paddock in front of the grand stand

The Meister Carriages.

Almost as much of a fixture as the
Fair itself is the Meister exhibit OF
carriages. The walls of the wareroonls
on Ninth street are covered with
framed premiums obtained at previous
fairs, and to old Sacramentans the Fair
would not seem like a fair were the
Meister vehicles missing This year the
first carriage to be noticed is a light
open buggy, with handsome green
body, hard rubber tires, end springs
ball bearing axles and high back stick
seat upholstered in dark green whiI
cord.
Next is an English conopy top phae-
ton easy of access and graceful in out
line. 1t has a carmine body and is also
fitted with ball bearing axles and pneu-
matte tires.
Another striking vehicle is a Craw-
ford gear open side bar buggy with car
mine box body, ball bearing axIes ano
ball bearing fifth wheel.
To suit the tastes of those who do not
fancy the wire spolxes and ball bearing
axles is a beautiful seal brown open
buggy with light yellow gear, wood
spokes and rims of wood and iron.
New features of some of the other
carriages are handsome English canopy
tops with rich hanging fringe. These
are preferred by many to the extension
closed tops, especially as they may be
removed in a moment. They are fitted
to surveys, phaetons and family car
riages Attached to several of the
vehicles are the new shaft couplings
which require no nuts or bolts and by
means of which shafts or pole may be
instantly adjusted. Another practical
job is the $3.50 business buggy. 1t Is
built, painted and upholstered in what
is understood by people who know
vehicles, as the genuine Meister style
1t is a roomy, durable and handsome
buggy, and for the price seems a won
derful value.

shown samples of the wares of the
store. There are rich fall and winter
dress goods light colored silks, furs,
cloaks and many life like wax figures
upon which are displayed capes, cor
sets, hats, gloves and feminine ap-
parel of many kinds. The quality OF
everything is superlative and the
beauty of the display is admirably set
off and enchanced by real and artificial
plants and flowers. The exhibit of the
Nonpareil forms practically the en-
trance and the exit to the pavilion, and
it is the one which by reason of its
beauty as we'll as position attracts the
first admiring gaze OF the average wo-
man sightseer as she enters, and elicits
the last lingering look as she departs

JOCKEY THORPE's LOSS.
A Sneak Thief Steals His Wife's
Diamonds and Money.

Charlie Thorpe, the jockey, is loser
on a deal that was made yesterday
morning. Mr. and Mrs. Thorpe occupy
a room in the Golden Eagle Hotel, and
yesterday morning, as usual, the jockey
got up at o'clock to go out to the
track and do a little practice work,
leaving Mrs. Thorpe asleep.
Thorpe left the door unlocked, and
while his wife slept a thief entered
the room and stole her diamond and
sapphire horseshoe pin, valued at 5000,
and which was a present from her hus-
band, and purse containing two S2U
bills.
The thief was evidently in hurry
as he left two watches and other jew
elry lying on the dresser. And that
is why Jockey Thorpe was out OF
humor yesterday-displease with the
world in general and with room
thieves in particular.

another stood at the front door, and the third

ANOTHER COMMITTED.
Masked Burglar Visit to solicitor BurIe's
Residence Almost Solved.

Although the attempted robbery of Bor.
ough Solicitor Burke's residence by masked
men has apparently dropped from view the
past two weeks, there has been much activity
in connection with the case under the surface
and last night it was again up before Justice
Toomey
George, alias Deutey." Goodalawicz. a
youth of but sixteen years who has already
served time for robbery, was arraigued last
night on charge Of being one OF the masked
men, but no evidence was produced upon
which he could be held and he was dis
charged upon his own recoguizance.
The hearing was not a fruitiess one, how
ever, as evidence was brought out upon
which Joe, alias Grow" Mitchell was re-
arrested and he was committed. He was
taken to Jail this morning. Michael Dooling
and Thomas McHale aro already in iail Oh
the same charge.
Mitchell was previously arrested, but de-
clared that he was in bed on the night in
question. He implicated McHale The
evidence ELECTED last night was to the effect
that early on the night Of the entrance
Mitchell went to William Becker's house at
the flats, on West Coal street. and was
there until II o'clock, drinking beer with
Becker McHale and Others, among whom was
Goodalawicz, who says he went to bed and
does not know what became of McHale,
Mitchell and others after they left Becker's
McHale has confessed that he was at Becker's
house that night and it has been shown by a
witness named David Ringheiser that at
about 6:l5 o'clock in the evening succeeding
the attempted robbery, Mitchell was seen at
the boiler house Of the Centennial colliery
with two others, one Of whom was McHale
The delay in the arrest of Goodalawicz was
due to his absence from town. He WAS traced
to Hazelton, Philadelphia, Mauch Chnnk aud
Allentown, being finally arrested in town on
Tuesday night. He is released ON his own
recognizance.

Yesterday was the day fixed by Policeman
Michael Heaton for keepers of houses of ILL
repute in town to close them. He made a
tour of the reported places yesterday, and
says he found all but one vacated The ex-
ceptional place is on North Chestnut street.
HeatOn visited it and was admitted by the
proprietress, who stated that her sole reason
for remaining on the premises was the fact
that her servant was i'll in bed, but as soon as
the servant RECEIVERS sufficiently she will
vacate. Heaton is deserving of commenda-
tion for at least the effort he has made in
connection with the movement.
