ALL RECORDS BROKEN
REMARKABLE RACE BY BUCKWA ON
THE OAKLAND CALI TRACK.
Ran Two and One-Quarter Miles In
1851 Flat, Knocking ia Seconds
Of the Previous Mark.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. S1.-Buckwa,
bay gelding by Buckwa- Wewa the property
Of E. w. Purser, ran a remarkable race at
Oakland to-day, breaking all previous rec
ords, from the mile and a quarter up to
and including two and a quarter miles.
Buckwa, together with Daisy F., Velose and
Wheel of Fortune, went to the post in the
Athenian Club selling stakes, value $500,
over distance of two and an quarter miles.
Daisy F. was made favorite and was to
5, while Buckwa went to the post as good as
to l. To an even start Buckwa went to
the lead and was never headed. At the
mile, which was run in 1:4124, he had an
advantage of ten lengths and was running
under a strong pull. The mile and a half
was made in 2:3z12 which is a quarter of
second less than Lamplighter's record for
the same distance. At the mile and three
quarters Buckwa was leading by half a
dozen lengths and made the distance in
2:5S4, half a second under Ben Holidays
record. At the two miles the old horse had
clipped 21a seconds off Tenbroeck's record
against time), making the distance in 3:25
fiat AT the last quarter Jockey Martin
who had the last mount on Buckwa began
urging his horse, although he had a lead
OF two lengths over Daisy F. Buckwa never
faltered, responding gamely to Martins call,
ana finished the two and a quarter miles in
S5l fiat, knocking ga seconds off the best
previous record, which was 1864, made by
Springbok and Preakness in a dead heat
at Saratoga, July 20, 1885. Daisy f., the sec
ond horse timed separately, ran the dis
lance in 3:5414, which is two seconds below
the previous record.

The Michigan Fight.

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 31-The contest for
the seat in the United States Senate now
occupied by Senator Burrows was given
fresh impetus this evening by the arrival
of both the principal candidates, Senator
Burrows and Albert Pack, of Detroit The
legislative session begins next Wednesday.
The senatorial Republican caucus will be
held Wednesday night and the election,
doubtless. on Thursday. Legislators and
state politicians are already numerous al the
senatorial candidates headquarters The
Burrows following is the more numerous
and confident although the Pack men, VINO
were backed by the ardent workers of Gov.
Pingree and the state administration, are
talking hopefully of getting more votes than
has generally been accredited to their can
didate The efforts of the state admnistra-
ton TO induce moro candidates to enter the
contest in the hope of drawing some of
BurrOWs's strength has not been successful,
and it now appears that the fight will be
practically solely between Burrows, who is
known as the federal candidate, and Pack,
the Pingree candidate, with the odds, in the
way of pledged votes in favor of the sena-
tor succeeding himself for the full siX-year
term. The Democrats have brought out no
candidate. The contest for speakerShip of
the House will be decided in caucus Tues
day night and may have bearing on the
senatorial situation. Representative Adams,
of Grand Rapids. is called the Burrows cam
didate while Representative Carton, Of
Flint, is backed by Governor Pingree.

NEW LONDON SUCCESS.
w. S. Penley We'll Received in "a
Little Ray of Sunshine"

LONDON. Dec. 81. - w. S. Penley, the
creator of ''Charley's Aunt" reappeared in
London at the Royalty Theater this evening
in new role, which is the drollest seen here
in a long time. The play is entitled "A Lit
tie Ray of Sunshine" 1t is by Mark Am
bient and Wilton Heriot, and is in three acts.
The time Is Christmas eve, and the scene an
English country house, the holly-decked hall
of which furnishes beautiful picture Mr.
Peney's role is that of an eccentric, little,
old lord who has made a fortune in Aus
tralia and returns to his homestead on the
eve of the wedding of his niece to Sir Philip
Ashton. The fun centered about his being
mistaken for various persons, including d
money lender who is about TO secure the es-
tate for debt. The first two acts are crowd
cd with laughter and the last with most
effective pathos. The lord pays the debt and
mis- Identity is discovered in a pretty scene,
enhanced by the singing Of carols outside.
Reeves Smith, julius Roynton and Jessie
Bateman are the principal supporters OF
Penley.
