ALTERNATE RACING.
Horsemen Said to Object to the
Prevailing Plan.


Owners who intend to race at Sac
ramento this fall are insisting on
change being made in the schedule of
events. 1t has been customary to run
one day and trot the next. For the
spectators this rhayb all we'll and nice,
but for the owners not so pleasant. So
many alterations. they say, keep the
track in terrible condition. After
trotting session the track has to be
especially prepared for the runners, and
after it has been nicelys worked down
dug up again for the sulkies.
What the thoroughbred division de-
mand is three days continuous running
and three days of trotting. This would
keep the track in a great deal better
shape.
IF something is not done about the
matter I won't race my horses" says
one owner. This digging up the track
every day for new set of horses keeps
it in frightful shape. Anybody who
races over it is liable to ruin his horses,
and I can't afford to take any chances.
What the association should do is to
put the trotters on for three days and
the runners for three. If this is done
we will all race"

THAT EXPLODED GUN.
The Police Claim to Know Who
Manipulated It.

On the evening of July 4th a piece
of toy cannon about four inches long,
two inches broad and half inch thick
was found in one of the rooms of the
residence Of E. W. Hale. at Twelfth
and H streets. The missile had torn
its way through the walls of the house,
but when the shot was fired which
burst the dangerous toy, and who fired
1t, were among the mysteries.
The police have done a little investi-
eating and have found that the cannon
was fired about 5 o'clock in the morn
ing, that it was double charged, and
had been used on many occasions, so
that the iron had become granulated.
They claim to have also learned the
names of the shooters.

PIANO AGENTS AT WAR.
Their Business Affairs Aired in a
Justices Court.

The case of Richard Madison against
George E. Allen for the recovery of
Sill, claimed to be due as commits
sions on the sale of pianos, was tried
in Justice Henry's Court yesterday and
judgment given for the plaintiff.
The testimony let in considerable
light on the subject of the original cost
of pianos of certain kinds, the mar
gins between these figures and those
charged purchasers. and the big COM
missions allowed. According to these
figures man who sells a couple Of
pianos month makes good wages.
If he sold one a day he would make
in year five times the amount of the
Governors salary and nearly as much
as Sailor Tom Sharkey, Boiler-makar
Jeffries or Horse sheer Fitzsimmons
make in one prize fight.

NEARING THE WIRE.
Tom Keating, the Noted Rednsman,
IL Thought to be Dying.


Il Thought to be Dying.
For more than a year past the friends
OF Tom Heating, the well known Sac
ra1nentan and popular driver OF har-
ness horses, have been aware OF his
declining health. Last summer he was
not able to drive in the big races on
the Eastern circuit. but he recuperated
somewhat here in California during the
winter and went East again in the
spring with stable of flyers.
Keating's health soon began to fail
again after he crossed the Rocky Noun
tains, and now the sad news comes that
he is thought to be near the goal OF
death. The San Francisco Chronicle"
of yesterday says:
"A private telegram received Wednes-
day states that Tom Heating is serious
ly i'll at Mount Clemens. Mich, and
may never leave his bed alive. This
information will be read with regret, as
Heating, by dint of skill and faithful
work, has established himself as tbs
greatest harness driver and conditioner
in California.
"Keating has been ailing for couple
of years, and has been too fran to
drive hard race, but several times in
1897 he insisted on handling the lines
when he should have been in bed.
Last year on the grand circuit Myron
McHenry drove Keating's horses in the
majority of their races, but the Cali
fornian labored under the impression
that he would be all right this year.
He was taken down at Denver, and is
now thought to be in the last stages OF
consumption.
tom Heating has driven races on
almost every track in California, Mon
tana, Colorado and throughout the
East, and has had phenomenal success
the past four years Twelve or fifteen
years ago Heating ran grocery store
at Sacramento. but he always had a
great interest in the harness horse, and
the first money he saved went for the
purchase of a trotter.
.'Keating made his first memorable
campaign with Our Dick, the PAGER. and
every succeeding year he has managed
to have one or more fast sidewheelars.
He campaigned Ottinger, Frank L.. As
ter and many other we'll known Cali.
fornia horses. He drove Agitato.
Searchlight and Klatawah, all of which
established worlds records as three,
year-olds.
Last year he made the most Won
derful campaign ever known through
out the grand circuit with Anaconda,
Searchlight, Dione and Klatawah, al!
of which came back to California with
worlds records for that year"
