DISTRESS IN PORTO RICO.
Result Of the Late Storm Which
Swept the Island.

NEW YORK, Sept. IL. = The Porto
Rican Relief Committee of the Mer-
chants Association has received an ac-
acknowledgement from General George w
Davis, Governor-General of the Island
of Porto Rico, of the goods shipped by
the committee on the transport Nc
Clellan, which left here on the I'D OF
August. General Davis, after thanking
the committee for the supplies sent
says:
IF my conclusions as to the extent of
the destruction of food supplies be cor.
rect, the stress of hunger will be an in
creasing one from this time forward for
many weeks, and we must prepare to
feed not less than a quarter of a mill
ion people before the earth can bring
forth fresh supplies. What this means
is shown by a single mathematical
demonstration summed up in the ques-
tion: At the rate of one pound of food
per day, per person, how many pounds
of food would it take to feed 10000
persons 119 days?"

HEADED OFF.
Officer Max Fisher Prevents an Ex-
Convict From Registering.

Yesterday afternoon a man named
P. Maginnis applied at the County
Clerks Office for registration.
Officer Max p. Fisher, who has been
on the watch there to prevent frauds
in registration, recognized him as a
man recently liberated from Folsom,
his term having expired in August. He
was greeted by Fisher. who was in
civilian clothes, and stated that it was
his intention to get registered, so that
he could vote at the coming primary.
Hold on, old man." said Fisher.
Have you got your restoration pa
pers? If you have. you had better
show them to the Clerk"
The man was astonished and said he
had been restored to citizenship, but
he could show no papers and tele-
phone message to Governor Cages Of
flee brought the answer that he had
never been restored to citizenship, thus
bearing out the private records that
officer Fisher keeps. Maginnis left
the office a sadder and a wiser man
and Fisher said that he preferred to
keep him from doing himself harm by
registering, rather than to arrest him
for perjury afterwards, as il he had
registered he (Fisher would certainly
have arrested him.

THE GRAND OLD MARE.
Death of Marion, Greatest Brood
Mare .of the Century.

During the races at the Park yester-
day word was passed along the line
that Marion, the famous old dam Of
running horses = the greatest brood
mare; this country has ever known -
was dead. She was killed a few days
ago by her owner, Theodore Winters,
on his breeding farm, near Reno, New.
Marion had become SO old that she
could no longer masticate her food.
and life was miserable to her.
Mr. Winters, out of pure sympathy
for the old mare, reluctantly ordered
that she be put out of her misery in
the most humane manner possible. But
not one of the employees on the farm
had the heart to kill her, so warmly
were they attached to her. and Mr.
Winters was himself forced to do it.
Marion leaves wonderful record as
the dam of racers. She was sired by
Malcolm, out of Maggie, the latter by
Imported Yorkshire. She was brought
to this coast some twenty five years ago
by James Cairn Simpson, the we'll
known turfman and turf-writer, who
sold her to Theodore Winters then
living in Sacramento County for
$500. She was never bred to any horse
but the great Norfolk and Joe Hooker,
and from the sales of her progeny Mr..
Winters realized about 100000.
The get of this famous mare have
won some seventy stakes, aggregating
about $3O0,000, the more important be-
ing:
1889 - 70 Tambien, % stakes, $751;
Ats.
1884 - Emperor of Norfolk, Is stakes.
S72, ,470.
1887 = FL Rio Rey, stakes, S46,S ,S3o.
1888 - Rey del Rey, stakes, $780,
735.
1888 King of Norfolk, 5 stakes.
$7,755.
1886 - The Czar, 4 stakes, S6,295.
Her sons, Ell Rio Rey and The Gar,
won all the races in which they start
ed In 1879, during the Nez Percez in
surrection, Mr.. Winters lost an un>
named flly out of Marion, on which he
had set great value The Duke OF
Norfolk $3.50 Duchess of Norfolk
QSS1) and Prince of Norfolk QSS2)
were all stake winners and noted In
their day.
Marion was foaled in 1872, and was
approaching % years of age when Mr
Winters found it necessary to end her
life Old turfmen and trainers, who
were familiar with the career Of the
grand old mare when her colts were
sweeping everything before them on
the turf, gathered in groups yesterday
at the track and related "reminiscences
of the days when she was in her prime
as the mother of horses and of TURF
wonders, and many face grew SAD
at the thought that her days were at
an end.

it a great exhibition of novelties of the

advance notices say of it. The parade
will leave the show grounds at 10 a. m.

gold and glitter, exhibiting more feat
ures than has yet been attempted. I'M
