 New Orleans La, Dec. 16.--As result of an attempt to inaugurate test of the so-called Locke anti-racing erncon. eTm M @ several tnrfmen @ were were arrested and afndavits were made against otn-

 Afndavits we're made against Coionel samuel Heaslip. president Sf tde the ward Cofrigan. the well known turf. man, charging them with aiding and abetting the meet, which 1t is charged was started with the avowed purpose of Violating the Locke law.
 MT. Corrigan is not In New Orleans, but the police claim that he was the instigator of the meet and assert that
 Colonel Heaslip. although president of the New Orleans Jockey CfuD, which controls the City Park track, ing saying be was opposed to the meet and would not be connected with 1t in any way..@His position as president or the club, however, is declared by the affidavit was based, although the club passed resolution today against hold Ing the meet.

 Only one race was run. and this was won by May Celia. Quite 8 crowd gather around the bookmakers booth when the odds were posted. There were four houses In the race. which was at a quarter of mile: Malcolm. Billy Strong, May Celia and Mir. Knapp were the starters.
 In the betting May Celia opened fav- orite ct to 5, while the other horses were held at 3 to 1. No attempt was made to interfere with the bet ting until after the race was run, and as soon as the result was announced and an attempt made to cash the bets the police became active.
 They placed the two bookmakers. along with W. W. Lyies, under ar rest, and all were taken to the Tenth Precinct Police. station. Later the afidavits were made against Colonel Heaslip and Mir. Corrigan.
 The matter now rests with the courts. If the prisoners are convicted and punished it is not likely that any more attempts at racing will be made. the lightest penalty being fine of Si00 together with q six months jail term. Otherwise, 1t Is probable that racing will start again in New Or leans.

SAN DIEGO.

| Editor Advertiser: After glorious
| ~, delightfully."- pleasant voyage OF
seven days IN the steamer Hilonian We
came in sight of the Golden Gate OF
| the morning of December 10, rough
| cold, windy, rainy morning.
The Z. 5. Marine Hospital surgeon
| came aboard, looked US over, took oul
temperatures and pronounced US clean
and worthy of landino We landed at
? p. m in violent dash of rain The
streets were muddy aud rough. Riding
over them in a bus was like Horace
Greeley s ride in Hank Monk s stage
San Francisco is not the San Fran
cisco of old, although it is building up
very fast and l must say seemed very
orderly. I did not see disorderly act
in the two DAYS l remained. | took
passage in the steamer Queen for San
Diego, where l met my son at the
wharf at p. M, December IA, after
another nice trip.
San Diego is city of about 10000
people, located at about the middle of
the eastern shore of the Bay of San
Diego, a body of water about twelve
miles long north and south, and from
three-fourths to. two miles wide east
and west. The north half of the west
shore is formed OF what was an isle of
about six miles long and from 80 to rs
feet high. averaging probably one mile
wide, the channel between it and the
mainland having been filed by silt
from Mission Creek. making delta
which forms the moth shore of the
bay and shore OF Mission Bay. The
remainder of the west coast of San
Diego bay is made bv sand bar or
delta with wide end which makes
Coronado beach with deep channel
between it and Point Iona. The bay
is, / think. one of the best natural har-
bors in existence, and is situate be-
tween 80 deg. and 33 deg. north lati-
tude, and near III dec. longitude.
This is what was the west end of the
Great American Desert, where rabbits
and coyotes used TO roam and cactus
and sage brush grew very sparsely.
The land ascends gently from the
bay back toward the mountains but
pretty valleys in different parts.
I inelose herewith little map which
will explain the location of the city
suburbs better than words. The city
is improving, extending and building
up very fast.
The climate is delightful. The water
is good and can be had in abundance
at moderate price all that is neces-
sary to make it big city is the peo-
ple And while am quite IN love with
the place it can not compare with Ha-
vail for soft balmy air and pleasant
Aloha nui,
