THE RIVER FALLING.
Breaks on the Yolo Side Relieve the
Enormous Strain.
_The Water Washed Over tiie I/cvee at
Sutterville Before tho Breaks,
But Without Damage.
Many hhndreds of people went down to
the river front yesterday to see the swol
len stream of muddy water rush by.
The current appeared to be swifter than
it was on the preceding day, and those
competent to judge estimate that it was
flowing at the rate of about five miles an ■
hour. The fact that the river was rising
was a matter of surprise to everyone and
there were all sorts of speculations, as to
how such a short storm could cause so
much water. It was thought that when
the levee broke on the Yolo side the
stream would immediately recede, but
Instead of doing so it commenced to rise
and Sacramcntans could hardly account
for it. The general feeling was that the
people of this city owed their safe con
dition from flood to the weakness of tho
leveo on the opposite side of the river,
and had the break been prevented it is
possible that the stream would have risen
high enough to run across Front street
into X. It is probable, however, that the
levee directly in front of Washington
would havo been swept away before any
damage could have come to (property in
this city by reason of the water washing
over Front street.
BELOW V STREET.
Yesterday morning the river registered
26 feet 9 inches, and by 4 o'clock in the
afternoon it had risen two inches. A
Recoan-Union reporter made the trip
along the levee on the Sacramento
side yesterday afternoon from this
city to Oak Hall—about three miles
down—and was enabled to judge of the
condition of the levees. At the foot of S
street a gang of men were at work tear
ing up the platform in front ofthe Clunie
warehouse and placing large blocks of
granite on the outer slope of the levee. It
was beginning to wash badly at thispoint,
but the riprapping prevented further cav
ing of the embankment. The tracks in
the switch-yards were covered with
water to a depth of six or eight inches,
and the office of the Sacramento Trans
portation Company at the foot of X street
had to be abandoned. The water was
several inches deep on the floor.
The fault to bo found with the entire
levee along tho river, south of V street, is
its steep slope. Valuable ranches which
would warrant the owner in building a
levee that would be impregnable are
protected in many places by the frailest
of levees. The ranchers realize the fact
only when the higli water comes, and
causes a scare among them. Instead ot
building embankments with a
FIRM BASE AND A SLOPE,
Which should bo at least in the ratio of
three feet in breadth to every foot in
bight, the majority of the levees are
about as near perpendicular as they could
have been built, and not by auy means
safe structures, in case of very high
water.
Men were patroling the levee watching
for gopher holes during the entire day
yesterday, and also last night, and doz
ens of holes were discovered and plugged
with sand-bags. In front of Merkley's
ranch the water was within about two
and a half feet of the top of the levee and
a break was not feared. Further down
sags in the bank were tilled with bags of
dirt, and there was ono particularly" bad
piece of levee at the point where the Riv
erside road joins the levee. The soft
earth on the outside slope had cracked
and was tailing into the water. A few
sand-bags, however, prevented further
washing.
In front of Edwards' ranch, about a
quarter of a mile below Sutterville, the
water commenced running over the
levee about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
and men were put to work filling grain
sacks with clay and depositing them on
the top of the levee. Trustee Wolf and
Jerry Lenhart, Street Commissioner Me*
I-aughlin's assistant, superintended the
work and had several hundred sacks
brought down from the city.
AT SUTTERVILLE.
Several small cottages outside the levee
have had to be abandoned on account of
the high water.
Xear Sutterville tho water was within
a few inches of the top of the levee, and it
was fortunate that a stiff north or south
wind was not blowing. A break in the
levee at this point would be much more
disastrous than on tho Yolo side, as there j
are almost continuous orchards for thirty '
miles down the river on the Sacramento <
Hide, while there are comparatively Sew !
on the Yolo margin ofthe river, the land j
being given up to the raising of vege- !
tables, hay, stock, etc.
There is no danger to the Sacramento
levees. The north and east embank
ments are in splendid condition. Front
Btreet In the vicinity of X, should bo
raised two or three feet, but there is no
danger ofthe levee breaking there, for if
the water should flow over it, a few
planks and sacks could keep it out. This
leveo is too wide and strong to be
in any danger of giving way. The Y
strect levee is perhaps too low, but
it must be remembered that if the
levee should break near Sutterville
the natural tlow of the water would be
away from the city and it would not back
up so as to be as high as it is at the foot of
Iv street. There is not the slightest dan
ger of the city levees giving way, but be
fore another season it would probably be
just as well, for appearance sake if noth
ing more, to raise Front street so that
water would not remain on it, and also
the Y-street levee, as it does not look
well for strangers to see water along the
street, and the situation is very apt to be
exaggerated.
ANOTHER YOLO BREAK.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.'a piece
of the levee about 300 feet south of the
new embankment where the Paine break
occurred last year, was washed out and
the river commenced to rush through
tho aperture, widening it at every min
ute. At last accounts late last evening,
the break was 100 feet wide aud the levee
was being washed away continually.
The break on the Snider ranch, north of
the Paine levee has widened to about 200
feet, and the new piece of levee built
across tho Paine crevasse stands as an
island. The entire thing will probably
be obliterated in a short time.
Reports received from Sutterville last
night were to the effect that the Sacra
mento levee was still holding out and the
water was falling. The danger was con
sidered almost over.
THE RIVER FALLING.
The new break on the Yolo side caused
the river to commence falling in half an
hour after the levee gave way. Telephone
messages were received at the Record-
Union office from Freeport and Sutter
ville stating that the river had fallen
several inches there, aud asking the
cause. Similar reports were received
from other points on the river below the
city.
At 1 o'clock this morning the river
marked 26 feet 2 inches, a fall of nine
inches since the break occurred.
BISHOP BEATEN.
The Steamboat Man Could Not Stand
Against McAuley.
The glove contest last night at the
Comique, between McAuley and Bishop,
•was a laughable affair and lasted six
rounds. McAuley was the better built
man of the two, but Bishop looked as
though be might be capable of doing
some heavy hitting. He had wide
shoulders and a long reach, and would
have made a better stand|lhad ha been
possessed of some science.
The first round founfl each man driv
ing at the other's body, and honors were
even, but Bishop was awkward and ran
about the ring ducking his head. In
the second, third and fourth rounds there
was weak in-fighting, clinching and a
few square blows. Bishop appeared to
have the best of it, but McAnley got first
blood. Both men appeared to be badly
distressed for breath in the fifth round,
and Bishop being the stronger drove Mc-
Auley about the ring and hit him in the
face several times.
When the last round was commenced
Bishop started in to knock out his an
tagonist, and appeared to have him at his
mercy, when McAulev suddenly turned
round and landed a terrific La Blanche
swing under Bishop's right ear. The lat
ter fell to the floor like a log, and lay
there until counted out. McAulev was
awarded the fight, and it was nearly half
an hour before Bishop regained his senses.
McAnley has been matched to meet
Englehait. and the contest will take place
in two weeks.
TURNER HARMONIE.
A Fino Musical Entertainment at
Turner Hall.
The entertainment and ball given by
the Turner Ilarmonie last evening at
Turner Hall was a success in every way.
There were four or five hundred people
in attendance and the proceeds netted a
neat sum to the society. The Harmonic
was at its best in singing and the auditors
were delighted. It was composed of
twenty-four male voices, divided be
tween bassos and tenors, and Professor
Kinross stated after the performance that
they never before sang better.
Mrs. Dr. E. A. Bruno's solo so pleased
the audience that she was forced to repeat
it, and was afterward presented with an
elegant floral piece. Miss Rosa Yoerk's
piano solo was well rendered, and after
playing an encore she was presented
with a basket filled with exquisite llow-
Albert Hart was unable to appear, and
in place of his number on the programme
Professor Kinross gave a baritone solo
that brought forth prolonged applause at
its conclusion. The audience insisted on
an encore, but Mr. Kinross politely de
clined.
The following programme was ren
dered, after which dam-intr commenced,

GOLD BARS.
First Application of the Sherman
Amendment.
Washington', March s.—The Treasury
Department is already called upon to act
under tho Sherman amendment to the
legislative, executive and judicial appro
priation bill, authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury to exercise discretion in _____
exchange of gold bars for gold coin, and
also to impose a charge for such exchange.
Heretofore the statute regulating this
matter has been construed by the Treas
ury Department as against the imposition
of a charge. Under the new law the
policy ofthe department will be to charge
four cents per SIOO in value for all gold
bars required for shipment, and if this
fails to deter gold shipments, the question
will then be considered as to the advisa
bility of refusing altogether to exchange
gold bars for shipment, thus compelling
the shippers to use gold coin or to obtain
gold bars from private parties. A ruling
to this etlect was lirst made yesterday on
a telegraphic order for $600,000 in gold
bars for shipment from New York. The
Director ofthe Mint, with the approval of
the Secretary of tho Treasury, directed a
charge of 8*240 (or four cents per §100) to be
made for the exchange.

JUVENILE GYMNASTS.
A Surprising Exhibition at the Sacra
mento Athletic Club.
Toiuigsters Who are Clever with tbe
Boxing Gloves—Bar Performers
and Tumblers.
Standing-room was at a premium at the
Sacramento Athletic Club's gymnasium
last evening, in spite of the apparently
ample arrangements made for the accom
modation of guests.
The occasion was one of the club's
popular "ladies' nights," and a larger and
more fashionable audience never attended
an athletic exhibition in Sacramento.
The entertainment was given entirely by
the juvenile class of the club, and was,
indeed, a surprise to the parents and
other visitors who crowded into the big
hall.
The advancement, development and
skill of the little fellows was astonishing.
to say tho least, and reflects great credit
upon the club's able instructor, Prof. C.
Godefroy, who has not been handling the
class many months.
LIVELY AS CRICKETS.
The exhibition commenced promptly
at 8 o'clock with a grand medley by the
entire class, headed by Professor Gode
froy. It was a sort of "Vollow-the-leader"
affair, and created no end of amusement.
Tiie little fellows were formed in along
line and raced about the building to tbe
music of a lively galop—dodged around
chairs, crawled under tables, whirled
around bar-uprights and executed all
sorts of capers, in close imitation of their
teacher.

LIVELY AS CRICKETS.
The exhibition commenced promptly
at 8 o'clock with a grand medley by the
entire class, headed by Professor Gode
l'roy. It was a sort of "follow-the-lender"
affair, and created no end of amusement.
Tiie little fellows were formed in along
line and raced about the building to tbe
music of a lively galop—dodged around
chairs, crawled under tables, whirled
around bar-uprights and executed all
sorts of capers, in close imitation of their
teacher.
The line finally came to a halt in front
ofthe horizontal bars. The Professor did
a trick known to the athlete as a "back
circle and nose breaker," and every one
of the little shavers did it, tod, to the sur
prise of tiie ladies. Next they scampered
over to the flying rings, upon winch they
huug by their toes, did "dfelocaters," :<nil
other feats that look away the breath of
the ladies. Not satisfied with this, they
took to the leaping-board and executed
some daring somersaults, dives, hand
springs and the like, after wliieh they re
tired, amid thunders of applause, to the
dressing-room.
A tug-of-war between two teams, com
posed ol six youngsters each, waa next
introduced, and the determination with
which the little men went to work, cre
ated much merriment. A Iter three "pulls'
these young athletes gave way to the
little Newbert brothers, who gave a re
markably clever exhibition of boxing.
IMITATION GLOVE FIGHT.
Then came the event of the evening.
President Clark stepped out into the cen
ter of the hall and addressed himself ex
clusively to tho ladies present. He said:
"You probably have often heard your
escorts talk of rights and glove contests,
and I think it is safe to say that nearly
all of you have not only wondered what
sort of ail'airs they were, but have also
had a curiosity to see something of tlio
kind—on the quiet, you know. Well,
Professor Godefroy has made special ar
rangements to present to you tliis even
ing a correct imitation of a regulation
glove contest. Two young men who are
champions in their classes have con
sented to assist him."
The ladies began to look nervous, but
the gentlemen cheered lustily. Then the
fighters appealed. A great laugh went
up when it was observed that they were
the two smallest midgets in the class,
Masters Ralph Kilgore and Charley
Moore. Both were attended by seconds
—Willie Dorsey attending to one and
Halsey Smith to the other. Eddie Na
than was the referee, and when he piped
out "Time!" the little chaps came up to
the scratch, shook hands, squared off
and began to-measure each other's dis
tances like two veterans. They led, par
ried, countered and ducked in the most
approved fashion, to the intense delight
of the audience. Four regulation three
minute rounds, Marquis of Queensberrv
rules, were contested, after which the
"tight" was declared a draw and the box
ers retired.
WRESTLING, TOO.
A clever exhibition of catch-as-catch
can wrestling was next given by Masters
Cox and Flint. Cox won the first fall
and Flint the last two, giving him the
match. After this a daring performance
on the parallel bars, concluding with
groupings, was given by twelve of tho
juveniles, and this was followed by a
clever exhibition on the single trapeze' by
Master E. H. Cox.
Xext came a grand medley of ground
and lofty tumbling by the entire class,
which, was one of the best numbers on
the programme.
HAND-BALL EXPONENTS.
The entertainment concluded with an
exhibition hand-ball gaxrie. The con
testants were George Newbert and Edwin
Pope on one side and Montie Newbert
and Gussic Pommer on tho other.
Professor Godefroy was the recipient of
many compliments and congratulations
from the parents and others of the guests
upon the conclusion ofthe exhibition.
The lads who took part were: Jimmic
Crosby, Edwin Nathan. E. 11. Cox, John
Bauer, Monte Newbert. C. Bauer, Walter
Burns, Willie Dorsey, Ralph Kilgore,
Royal Gilfeu, Harry Carey, John Davis,
John Miller, E. Flint, R. "Flanders, Ber

Auctions.
Bell 4 Co. will sell at auction to-day, at
11 a. m., a fine building lot, 40x60 feet, in
the blcfck bounded by Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-fifth, M and N streets. The lot
is on the line of the electric-car road, and
is a splendid site for a home. The sale
will take place on the premises.
To-morrow the same firm will, at 10 a.
m., auction ofl' a large quantity of fine
furniture, including three pianos (one
square and two uprights), and all kinds

Death of Little Walter Guthrie.
Walter J. Guthrie, the 5-year-old son
of Henry Guthrie, Chief of the Fire De
partment, died yesterday of whooping
cough. The little fellow was the joy of
his father and mother, and a strange co
incidence is the fact that he died on the
anniversary of his father's birth. The
funeral will take place this afternoon
from Sixth and X streets, and the friends
ofthe family are invited to attend.
Philadelphia, March 4.—Thomas F.
Close, a collector of delinquent taxes in
the First Ward, has left the city, and is
said to be short in his accounts to the
amount of $G,OOO.

So far this had been merely a private ven
ture of the gentlemen above named, but
in talking up the question of dividing the
land already purchased, it was found that so
many more would like to join it than the
area of the purchase would admit of, that it
was suggested on all hands, "Why not get
some more land and divide it up in the same
way?" Then followed the Idea of a stock
company to take hold of a larger tract and
arrange for the cultivation of the whole of it,
after subdividing it according to the re
quirements of the subscribers. A provisional
board was formed, a prospectus issued, and
finally, on the sth of .Juue, IS9O, the West
ern Co-operative Colonization and Improve
ment Company was duly registered and pre*
ceeded to business, with the following officers:
President, William McKay; Vice-President,
M. P. Brown. Directors—H. C. Ellis, Charles
Brooke and R, A. Barker; Secretary and Gen
eral Manager, Neal D. Barker; Solicitor, C. E.
Snook; Treasurer, First National Bank of
Oakland.
The balance of the tract, 373 acres, was pur
chased. A contract was entered into for the
purchase of a large number of fruit trees,
vines, etc. This early purchase of trees was
the means of saving between $3,000 and
$4,000 to the company, the prices in somo
cases having more than doubled since then.
The ideas which the prospectus set forth
have been but slightly modified and the
progress of the company has been uninter
rupted. Those who went into it doubtingly
have become enthusiastic, and almost all tho
members arranged to set out all their land in
fruit trees, etc., the first year. Consequently
in this, the flrstseason, some 40,000 trees and
between 20,000 and 30,000 vines will bo
planted.
The satisfactory working of this scheme has
had the effect of attracting considerable atten
tion to the work of the Colony Company, and
a number of people aro now desirous of join
ing in with them. An additional 200 acres
h&ve been added to the sixty acres originally
purchased.
Forthe company is predicted a very bright
future, as well as for the beautiful valley in
which their operations are conducted. How
this marvelous little garden has come to be so
long neglected Is a puzzle to every one who
has visited it, but ono thing is very sure, and '
that is that this neglect will never again bo
felt in the valley.
The fruits set out are mostly of tho standard
varieties—peaches, apricots, Bartlett pears,
prunes, figs, raisin grapes, etc., while along
both sides of the avenues, throughout tho
tract, walnuts will throw their graceful shade.
A considerable number of citrus trees are also
being set out; quite a sufficient number to
demonstrate that these fruits can be success
fully grown in the valley, about which tho
colonists appear to have no doubt, provided
proper care is given to the young trees. Neal
D. Barker, General Manager of the company,
resides on tiie tract, and to liis care is to be as
cribed much of the success ot' tho venture.
Mention should be made of the town-site,
about which thero is a pleasant innovation
which might with profit be followed by moro
ambitious places. A small park of some threo
acres has been laid out right in the center of
tiie town. This park it is proposed to beautify
by planting in it from time to time us many
of the beauties and curiosities of tree and
shrub life as may be obtained by diligent
search and a wise expenditure of money. It
is not expected that Tancred will ever be a
large and busy city, but it is thought that it
can be made a very pleasant little placo to
dwell in.
A petition has been circulated recently and
very largely signed, asking the county to ac
cept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a
county road, and to build a bridge across
Cache Creek at this point, in order"to give the
settlers on the east side of tiie creek access to
Tancred Station. The Tancred colonist* aro
quite willing to give the necessary right of
way, and arc very desirous ot having a bridge
then-, as the colony loads extend along botb
sides of the stream. It is thought that it
wouid be a very wise expenditure of public
money to grant them this very necessary Im
provement, a.s the operations of such com
panies are of Widespread benefit to the wholo
county and State. The attractions and com
forts of the cities are welt known, but to thoso
Who are willing to settle on the land anu show
that the country also affords attractions and
comforts and ways of making money pleas
antly, every inducement should be held forth.
The following is a list ot the principal mem
bers of the Tancred Colony, with the number
ofacres owned by each, and a fact worthy of
mention is that in each contract or deed is
sued by the Colony Company there is a pro
vision that no intoxicating liquor shall ever
be manufactured or scid on tiie land. Tho
apparent success of the enterprise shows
that tho ideas and plans of the col
ony, as set forth in the prospectus some
time ago, are not impracticable: C. T.
