were over two hundred of these latter.
Nearly hundred Japanese were al

This was the first big batch of Asia
tics to go home since the raising OF the

Sugar Race to the Coast.
Three vessels sailed out of the harbor
yesterday laden with sugar for San
Francisco. This means a race to the
Coast and an interesting one. Bets are
already up On the waterfront and each
boat has its hackers.
The last foreign sugar ship that will
carry the product from this port to
San Francisco, the German bark J. c.
Pfuger, got away in the morning. In
order to get her sugar into San Fran
cisco she must arrive there before or
by midnight of Thursday, June 18th
She would indeed have to experience a
very unfortunate trip not to accom-
plish this, for she has twenty-seven
days in which to make the passage
In the hold of the Pf1uger was the
following cargo: 24,3S4 bags sugar,
weighing 2,979,170 pounds, valued at
Sill, 7O4.S6 and shipped by the follow
ing: 1872 by c. Brewer & Co., to
WEIGH & Co.; 11,4S1 by Castle & Cooke

field & Co. to Williams, Dimond & Co.

just before noon with 27,060 bags of

interested because the bark s. c.. Allen

the bark Cyrus Wakefield and the schoon-
