Today's Race.

From the looks Of things every bi
road today to take leg in the race
which is going to happen. Even the
weather man has promised q better
day for the occasion, which will bring
out the lady admirers Of the athletes.
Several rank outsiders are figuring On
getting in such as Henry Dietrich
Professor Roberts and Harry Willard.
Entry Clerk vanEtten is busy looking
up their records to see If they have
gained any professional standing. rs
this is strictly an amateur affair.
The race is billed to take place
from in front of Ed. Walsh's place Ut
business. the time being set at 1880
ana the return time has not been made
public. There is no question but that
it will be a hotly contested affair, as
the boys do not get off on even starts
but are handicapped to some extern
thus making race that anyone with
the speed can win. It is simply the old
question of speed, speed and more
speed, so q fast time can be expected
The race is to the Raffetto ranch and
return, and as there is no chance fol
the boys to fly the track or cut across
fields, it looks like there will be big
race from start to finish.
Any one who enters before one
are not barred. Everyone should be
on hand to see the fun, If not to take
part in the race 1t is the official Oh
ening of the season.

THE GOOD OLD TIME
Circus Days Are Nearly at Hand
AGAIN,

Circus Days Are Nearly at Hand
Again. !.
The festive tented season is once
more upon us and our hears beat in
unison with our happy youngsters in
the glad anticipation of again witness
ing the thrilling acts of trained ath-
letes. the antics Of the perienially am
using clowns. the marelous intelli-
gence of the highly trained animals
and the fearsome, awsome, yet fasci-
mated wonder which thrills our hears
when we gaze upon the wild beasts
confined in the menagerie. 1t is always
an event when the ever welcome Nor.
ris & Rowe's big shows give exhibit
lions In this city and this season more
than ever before will the excitement
run higher, for to the really splendid
show they brought us last season
these clever young managers have ad
dede huge circus world in itself. It
contains gymnasts, acrobats, tumblers,
eQuilibrists. clowns and athletes whose
marvellous flights through the air will
prove spectacularly thrilling to the au-
dience. The greater show is just twice
as large as it was ever before 1t will
be given in two rings and upon an ele-
waited stage. A multitude of new fea-
lures never before presented in this
country will be shown 1t will contain
a menagerie of wild and native beasts,
performing elephants, camels, liofls,
tigers, tapirs, lamas, buffaloes, kanga-
roos, ostriches, elk, deer, ponies, goats
and monkeys, the most wonderful of
/ all will be the thrilling acts performed
high in mid air by the athletes. Manag-
| ers Norris & Rowe have secured this
season to make good their claim that
they have a big circus and though
| there has been an enormous outlay Of
capital, in order to secure these acts
and novelties, no other than the old
established scale of prices will pre-
vail The mammoth new tents, will
therefore surely hold immense audien-
ces and in this way will repay the
owners for their generous outlay. The
new big shows will give two perform

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
An Object Lesson Made in the Streets
Of Carson.

Of Carson.
Yesterday a negro by the name IT
Wilkes Miller rode up the main street
with the blood pouring from a dozen
wounds on the animal he was riding.
As the horse. which was worn out,
was ridden up the street, the inhuman
two-legged brute slashed it from one
end to the other with a rope that hal
an iron snap on the end. The result
was that the animal was bleeding AMI
nearly ready to drop. Two citizens
stopped the darkey and took him from
the horse, which was placed in sta
bic, where it was found that an ar
terry was severed by the mauling A
warrant was sworn out later in the
day by Fred Brown and the case will
be taken into the court in the hopes
Of making an object lesson Of such
people.
1t is understood that the animal IS
the property of George Bath, on the
prison road Had the animal belonged
to anyone else it is a safe. prediction
that the negro would have received
a drubbing that he would remember
as long as he lives Mr.. Bath did not
seem to place much stress on the
cruelty, and was rather indignant tina.
the horse had been taken from the
half witted rider.
In every State in the Union there
is law that fines and imprisons for
cruelty to animals. In many cas- IS
animals have been taken from own
ers and sold to satisfy judgment IL
such cases. Other cities and States
make it a matter Of heavy punishment
and any citizen can arrest a man for
cruelty to any living animal. 1t is the
same duty in this city, as in any othe-
place. Whenever a man is maltreating
a dumb animal, the best friend he has
on earth, he should be taken from the
animal or an officer called who will
take care Of him. There is all toget-
her too much of this business prac.
ticed, and a few examples made Of
the cruelty indulgers would soon put
a stop to it. ....-...

A cREAT-LAND BATTLE.
Japs Loose Seven Thoueand Men in
| Yesterdays Fight.

Yesterdays Fight.
Especial to the Appeal.)
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-Jap-
anesse and Russian armies have met
in the open field with the result that
the Japanese have suffered a severe
defeat. Dispatches from the front are
to the effect that the engagement took
place near the mouth of the Yulu
river where the Japs have been gather
ing their forces for the past two weeks
The Russians have followed the move
ments carefully and yesterday the Japs
were lead into a fight which resulted
in severe defeat. Dispatches from
both sides admit the battle and that
the Japs have suffered defeat and
were forced to'retreat into the inter-
ior where they have re-inforcemnts
awaiting.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg,
claims that the Russians have won q
great victory as they have completed
routed the Japanese army which lost
1000 men in the engagement. The
army that was stationed at the Yulu
was to be reinforced by several thous-
and troups. Before the landing party
could gain ground the Russians were
pouring in shot on the men and before
organization was perfected the field
was covered with dead and dying.
Some of the correspondents claim
that nearly ten thousand men have
died from the result of me management
The Russians suffered considerable
but not to such an extent as the Japs
as their positions were more protect
ed. The effect Of the land victory
has set the Russians in fever of ex-
element and an additional call for
men will now be readily met.
Japanese dispatches state that there
has been an engagement but do not
do not state the results which bars out
| the report of the defeat.

DEATH OF PATRICK CROWLEY.

Released From the Prison by the
, Great Judge.
Patrick Crowley, the most talked OF
inmate Of the Nevada State Prison.
died at that institution early yesterday
morning from hemorage of the lungs
The prisoner has been suffering with
consumption for some time and at the
last meeting of the Board Of Pardon
his case was presented on account of
the illness tina t threatened his life.
Death came very suddenly and his his
tory is closed.
Crowley, and the Crowley case has
caused more pickering. more conten-
ton and more rows than any case in
the history of this State. AS soon as
he was confined in the prison for the
murder of Nichols his friends opened
a siege for his relief. Every term Of
the pardoning board his case was
brought forward and reviewed. A
dozen times it was stated that he had
secured the vote for release. but 1t
never happened, as the other side was
just as determined that he should
spend his days behind the bars.
Crowley had the truest friends that
ever stood by man. and it was not
through any lack of funds or effort
that he died where he did.
One of the peculiar instances of his
confinement was the amount of CAPT.
tai that it cut in politics. There has
been more men defeated in the pOliti-
cal fight over the Crowley case than
any one object. From the Legislature
to the Supreme bench was included in
the fight, even the Governors nomina
tions were included in the affair, while
nearly every State officer came in TO.
a share of the friendship or enmity
that could be exercised with the case.
BY the death of Crowley this on:
feature of State management will have
ceased to be a matter of politica
issue. The crime and it's details has
been published in every paper in the
State a dozen times, which has kept
the item before the public mind. The
man has answered the call that comes
to all of the races on earth and as fal
as man kind is concerned the incident
is closed for all times.

ada Camp.
The Reno Journal reports the fol-
lowing from Chas. M. Schwab, the
millionaire steel magnate, who owns
extensive interests in Tonopah. The
result OF his visit to the mining camp
will have a great deal of influence in
the future of that camp as with the
back ing such as will follow the de-
velopment, will in no case be limited
and when the word goes forth it will
bring in others who are looking for
investment in Nevada property. Ia
speaking Of the camp, Mr.. Schwab
says:
1T is wonderful camp" said Mr..
Schwab, land of far greater magni-
tude than l had ever anticipated. Our
properties in Tonopah are exactly as
they have been represented and pro-
badly little better. The trip has set
tied all doubts in my mind as to fu-
ture investment. We will commence
operations now on large scale AMI
install hoists, machine drill and other
modern devices. All the properties will
will be opened up and much develop
ment work done during the coming
season
Montana extension is valuable
mine as far as exploration has been
DONE" continued Mr.. Schwab. ''The
shaft is down 500 feet and drifts have
been run at the go, 1856 and 5OO-foot
levels and ore bodies encountered in
all levels. In the $50 level Of the Hans
borough a vein has been uncovered
This ore body is 600 feet from the
first developed work and about 500
feet down the hill. They have also
encountered ore 200 feet below the
first strike"
Among the promising properties OF
the Schwab people is the Denver group
This property will be incorporated un
der the name Of the Pittsburg Tono
pah in the near future. In all Mr.
Schwab and associates own 800 acres
of mineral land in the Tonopah dis
trict. Some Of the property has prov
en- to be bonanza holdings, while some
has not shown values as yet. r>

all the properties and the manner O

tirely upon his judgment" said Mr.
