SACRAMENTO-BREO EQUIAES
HEAVY SHIPMENT OF YOUNG
STERS LAST NIGHT.
Blue-B1ooded Thoroughbreds From
the Rancho del Paso
Going East.

DIR. McCollum, the Rancho del Paso
veterinary, was in the city yesterday
making preparations for leaving for the
East on the overland express last night,
in company with Superintendent John
Mackay. The occasion of the journey
is the annual shipment of yearling colts
to New York, where they are to be sold
at auction.
The consignment that left last night
was one of the largest ever sent from
the great breeding farm. DR.. McCol-
lum said it would consist of about 2o0
thoroughbred colts by the best sires
and from the choicest brood mares
owned by Mr.. Haggin.
The equine train will be a long one,
and thoroughly equipped for the long
journey across the continent. Mr..
Mackey will take along quite an array
of attendants, and the high bred young
equines will be carefully looked after
during the trip.
Superintendent Mackey is accompa-
MED by his daughter, Miss Mackey,
who is to spend a few weeks visiting
friends in the East
Most of the colts are by the follow
ing named sires, many OF which have
either great race records or are by eel
ebrated sires:
Imported Star Ruby; Duncan, the
$4,000 Irish-bred stallion; St Andrew
Artillery, by Musket, imported from
Australia; MaXimo, by imported Max
i'm; Preston Pans, by Prince Charley;
Indio, by Maxim; Sir Modred Gmported).
by Traducer a noted English sire;
Golden Garter Gmported), sire of Gold
en- Rule, by Ben Dor, sire of Ormonde,
McDonough's $150.O00 stallion; Saliva
tor (by Prince Charley, king of Amer
lean racers, record 1857; imported
Midlothian Bassetlaw, by ST. Simon,
ST. Gotham (by st. Sinon), sold in Ger
many for $4,000 and purchased by Mr..
Haggin for the Rancho del Paso stud
imported Water Cress, the largest of
all the racing stations; Tyrant, winner
of the American derby; Prospector,
Irish bred, by Pioneer; Fresno (by Fal-
setto), sire of 'Ostler ice; Golden Dawn
Gmported), by Ben Dor; Dorian; Gold
Finch, the $4,000 SIRE by Ormonde;
imported Darebin, and others of ce-
lebrity. There are also few trotters
in the consignment, including Con
Mooney, by Nutwood
Some of these colts will no doubt be
bid in by California turfmen, as usual,
and returned to the coast By an
other year many of them will be on the
turf in the two-year-old division of
racers.

Pancow Tells His Side of the Con-

F. Pancow was arraigned in the City
Justices Court for msdemeanor en-
bezzlement. Mrs. Hudson testified that
Pancow was employed to deliver goods
and collect for them, and that he col
lected S1.2o from Anderson & John
son and did not turn it over, claiming
that he had not been able to collect it.
He had also, she said, collected other
amounts without paying them over.
There was other corroborative evil
dence
Pancow said that his agreement with
Mr. Henderson was that he should
nave his meals, but the latter got sick
and he took money from the collections
TO live on, intending to repay it as he
earned it and still intended to. He had
never been in trouble before. He and
Henderson were old friends, and wit
ness brought many customers to him.
The case was taken under advise
