the betting, the odds being II to on
Cambridge, though this was regarded as
extraVagant. The crews were sent off
Cambridge winning the toss, took the
sunny side of the river, which with the
fresh wind blowing. gave the light blues
a decided advantage.
Cambridge at once assumed a slight
lead, which it increased at IA lengths
at the Craven steps, about five furlOngS
from the start.
Just beyond that point, however, OK
ford began drawing up and at the Cra b
Tree wharf, one mile, one furlOng. and
one hundred yards from the starting
point, was level with Cambridge. The
Crab Tree wharf was passed at 1903.
At Hammersmith bridge, one mile,
five furlongs and one hundred yards
from the starting line, Cambridge had
again assumed the lead by one half
length, which was increased to two and
half lengths at Thornycroft, some
three miles from the start.
Thence Cambridge continued her pos
ition, rowing fine steady stroke, while
oxford splashed badly and was evil

When the light blues reached Barnes
Bridge, three miles, four furlongS and
thirty yards from the start, they were
four lengths ahead and the race was
practically over, for the OXfords were
going to pieces and rowing anyhow.
The Cambridge crew finished strong,
four lengths ahead of Oxford. Two of
the oxford crew tainted as their boat
crossed the line.

FAVORS THE SANTA FE.
Governor Signs the Con-
solidation Bill

Sacramento. Gala, March 25.-The
governor has signed the so-called Santa
F'e consolidation bill. This is the meas
ure introduced at the instance of the
Santa Fe people for the purpose of per-
mitting, as it's advocates claimed, that
corporation to operate it's system
whole instead of being compelled to do
through the medium of three or four
different corporations. 1t was asserted
that unless the existing laws were
amended it would be impossible to pur-
chase the line from Mojave to the Colo
rado river necessary to complete the
system.
The bill was opposed on the ground
that it would permit the consolidation of
the Central and Southern Pacific rail
roads.

Ogden, April Il.
.B|NFORD SUES THE CITY
WANTS PAY AS CHIEF OF FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
Claims Council Had No Right to Dust
Him, Wants Near S2,ouo-To
Take Charge of Ash Estate.

The threatened suit against tho
city by William Binford, who claims to
be chief of the Ogden fire department,
materialized yesterday when Binford
brought suit against the city for
81, 20 back salary, with interest.
Binford has all along claimed to hold
over, by reason of the fire and police
commission appointment, dated Jan. II,
1895. The complaint sets forth that he
has been at all times ready to perform
the duties of such office, but that he
has been ousted from the place, pre-
vented from attending to the work, and
that the city refuses to pay him for
same. Since January year ago, when
he was displaced by Orson Riser, the
present chief, Binfocd has been to
Alaska, Denver and California, but
has maintained his residence here and
has continually maintained that he was
ousted Illegally and that he would draw
the salary. The suit will likely test the
new police and fire law. as well as other
state and city legislation on the point.
r. 7. Hume yesterday filed a petition
for letters of administration in the es
tate of S. p. Ash, deceased. The estate
consists of personal property only, the
same being a stock of drugs valued at
$1,000, subject TO a chattel mortgage
owned by the Commercial National
bank of Ogden and for a similar sum.
Sabrina Ash, mother Of the deceased,
and G. c. Ash, his. brother, request
that Hume be granted letters as
prayed.

Prof. j. Reede of Boston Gives Psy-
cnic Demonstrations That Puzzle
the Most .Skeptical-He Has Ar
rived In Salt Lake City.

Professor Reede is a man who has
made reputation for himself, way in
advance of his years. No practitioner
OF occultism can equal his tests. He
tens every visitors age, full name, date
OF birth, or anything of their past or
future, without asking a single ques-
| tlon His featS have surpassed the
! marvellous and bordered on the thrill
ing. Love, courtship, marriage, di-
Vorce, sales. changess employments,
Wills, property, speculations, patents,
OLD estates, lawsuits, seem alike to him
TO become plain, and the best course
indicates itself, however involved the
affairs might have seemed at the out
set. Difficulties in love melt before his
wizard touch; the most difficult prob
lens of married life become as plain as
the a, B, c. Speculation becomes GER
talnty. and troublesome questions of
business stand out as clear as crystal
when once brought before his far-see-
ing eye. Sales are made or avoided to
the profit of the client; old intricate
meshes of law involving the settlement
OF estates long in the tortuous channel
OF the courts, present new and clear
phases. Information relative to pat
ents is obtained offhand without resort
to musty records or hiring of an attor-
ney for costly investigation. On each
and every subject the brilliancy OF a
Ne'S anu III eOuSA Win sumo SUI
perior element makes itself known and
its effects felt.
Professor Reede's office at pa South
State, opposite Hotel KnutSfOrd first
floor, reception-room 2, is secured with
that view to privacy so frequently de-
sired by those who are foreign to the
knowledge of the wonderful results of
these psychic consultations and advice.
From 9 a. m. to 40 p. m daily, and
Sunday to p. m. the professor. can be
consulted on all difficulties, whether in
mind, body or spirit. He guarantees
absolute satisfaction or will positively
refuse any remuneration. His charges
are within the reach of all.
