very enthusiastic over the prospects
for Elko's future and says that the
Tuscarora deal of Mr.. Mayham is
practically complete and that the time
of the starting of the actual work at

profit by those of the Climbers who know themselves to be probably with in this class.
 President Chambers had one or two rather strenuous sessions with several members of the club during the past week. and is known to have told two of them that they would have to re- strict themselves along certain lines or else suffer serious consequences. He indicated that he was disgusted with their conduct, and that if at the time he was talking he had been manager of the club instead of president of the association he would have taken some very strenuous action to correct the evils. As it was he contented himself with expressing his opinion. which was later passed on to Manager Ryan for what it was worth.
 It is expected, though, that by the middle of next week the team will have been so built up and the weak places so strengthened that it will round out into it's old form and resume it's place at the head of the process sion. If it does not, there is going to be some trouble down this way tn It may end by finding some good ball players divorced from their salary, ac- count

MIR. cRokER HAS SOLD THREE HORSES WHICH AFTERWARDS WON THE JUBILEE, AND THEY LAUGH AT RICHARD.
By RICHARD DAHLeREN.

London, June 14-"Rhodora is a better horse than Signorinetta. I am willing to enter into a match race between the two for any amount and under any reasonable conditions" This statement was made by Richard Croker after the Oaks had been run by the Derby winner and his great little Ally had fallen.
 It is great pity the accident happened which put Rhodora out of the running Not only was Mir. Croker confident she would win, but many experts who saw the Ally in action before she was thrown shared his opinion.
 It is not impossible that a match race will be arranged between Rhodora and Signorinetta. Chevalier Ginistrelli is a game sportsman and has an abiding faith in the capacity of the winners of the double event.
 I understand, by the way, that this lilly was practically the last shot in the locker of her owner His racing establishment was for sale before the Derby, and now, with these two rich stakes to his credit, he is on his feet again.
 It may be said the winning of the Derby was no huke. Signorinettas race for the Oaks demonstrates she ran to form, and it is the best opinion now that she is the greatest mare seen on the English turf since the days of Blind

 While Richard Croker failed to win the Oaks. he has one feat to his record which is unique. Though it may be doubted If Mir. Croker relishes the distinction to any great extent. It is thus set forth by the Illustrated Sporting News: "These are the days of records, and MT.

It is be- lieved that MT. Cunliffe has little money on a horse sometimes when he fancies 1t, and as these were by no means the only races which Ypsilanti won at Kempton and elsewhere, it seems likely that his in vestment of the 40 guinaes may have proved remunerative. Having another Jubilee winner handy in Hayden, MT Croker then proceeded to let him go. If he has any more platers of the same description, there may, perhaps, be a de- mand for them-you cannot buy Jubilee winners every day, and some owners are sufficiently selfish keen Victor Wild. winner in 1895, with Sst. lb and in 1896 with 9st. h., was also brought out of a selling race (and immediately won the Hung Cup at Ascot, so that it behooves the careful purchaser to see what is on sale.

Soon there was an almost con tinuous shell of lava eight miles wide and from six inches to. six feet deep flowing down the mountain side. It Overf1owed the cliffs, destroying many native houses on its way, dropping into the ocean and causing an immense uprising of steam.

Seattle, June 4.-Captain Washburn of the cruiser Colorado declares that the vessel was at no time in danger. He did not lose his reckoning in the Straits of Fuca he says, and only anchored to avoid any possible mishap to his ship. At 6 O clock last night, three hours after the cruiser had entered the straits, the fog lifted and the Colorado was seen close to shore at Dungeness spit. 20 miles to the east.
 Immediately the report spread that she had gone ashore. The Colorado and the Pennsylvania, both bound for Bremerton, reached Puget sound tonight.
