Sacramento, Sept. 10.— Although the
State Fair lias been opened three days it can
not fairly be said the attendance of outside
visitors is at all equal to that of previous
years at the corresponding date. In fact it
Is, up to date, the smallest on- record. The
reason for the diminution is chiefly at
tributable to the celebration of the Na
tive Sons in Sin Francisco, that seems to
nave drawn all the fair-going population of
the.S'.ate. There is no need for any one to
worry about sleeping.
lack of accommodations tins year, as was the
case last year, Rooms in plenty are await
ing customers and the bonifaces of Sacra
mento are not leaping the golden harvests
of past years. This state of affairs, how
ever, it is confidently asserted by the State
Fair management, will soon be chanced,
and they are making preparations for the
reception of the largest attendance ever
known at any fair given under their
auspices. Whether they are too sanguine
will Boon be known. The public thorough
fares are, to speak honestly, comparatively
deserted, and but for the influx of the San
Francisco contingent it would be hard to
state positively' that the State Fair of IS'JO
was in progress. The wheels-of-fortune,
' chu:k-a-luek and hokey-pokey games are
doing nothing, and the manipulators of
these games of chance are rather blue over
the prospective outlook.
AT THE PAVILION .
A visit to the Pavilion this evening proved
that all the exhibits are in place, and all
that the exhibitors now lack is patronage.
Only a small attendance was visible last
night. A cursory examination of what was
displayed did not disclose any very special
features this year, and the great attraction
of last year, the tool and engine exhibit of
llmitiiigton, Hopkins & Co., rinds no rival.
The Call has secured the most desirable
location in the building for its stand. It Is
situated immediately to the left of the main
entrance, and is, like The Call, of an en
tirely business character. Mr. W. F. Fox,
the local agent, reports a great demand for
the leading daily of the Coast, whose re
ports are always accepted as unbiased and
unprejudicedly honest. A lottery-scheme
publication of San Francisco that is hippo
druming the State has taken space in an
out-of-the-way cation, and Its drummers
are like Chatham-street touts in their anx
iety to rope in the unsuspecting country
visitors to invest their hard-earned dollars
in their all-for-me-nothing-for-you enter
prise.
AT THE TRACK. ;\ ■..- .'
Secretary Ed Smith reports that the horse
men have brought the best stock in the
Slat? to the track to compete in the racing,
and that every stall a: the track is engaged.
To-morrow's entries, as bulletined In the
pool-filers' tent, erected on a vacant lot on
" Seventh street, near K. are:
First race— Coral, Moss, Rupee; second
race— Mattie P.Vidette, Sargent, Lady Wells,
. Laura Z; third race (oacing) — G W G,
Hummer, Our Dick, Princess Alice, Rupee,
McGintyand Corset!*. Coral, Lady Wells
and Kupe« arc considered sure winners.
Nnt a pool was bold on any of these events
. last night.
'1 he Board of Directors ot the State Fair
have decided not to allow a wheel of for
tune to In-, run at the race-track at this meet
ing. This determination was arrived at
very late this evening, and was mainly
passed on moral grounds.
The Trotting Horse Breeders' Association
has decided to hold their fall meeting at the
Napa track, and will give a week's racing,
commencing on October nth to the ISth in
clusive, and the card will embrace twenty-
OBe races. The Committee on Arrange
ments, composed of such thorough business
men as Frank Burke, G. Tompkins
and A. Loeuer, have already made
the Cist move and have made arrangements
fur a special train to be run, leaving Xapa
each evening at 7 o'clock and arriving in
Sin Francisco by 9 o'clock. Reduced rountl
trip rates will be charged. The
reason of the association holding
their meeting at Xapa is that
N. P. Smith, acting for the owners of the
track, asked 8500 for the use of the track,
8300 for tne wneel privilege and the reserva
tion of the bar at the grand stand and club
house. This was rather more than the
as>n.-!ation could afford to pay and accord
ingly the change was made.

THE M. E. CHURCH.
Opening Session of the Annual Conference
at Pacific Groie.
Pacific Gkove, Sept 10.— At 6 o'clock
this morning a goodly company of men and
women met in the west parlor of ihe church
for an hour of devotion. A spirit of z»al
and earnestness pervaded the service.
Promptly at 9 o'clock Bishop D. A. Good
sell took the chair and called the conference
to order, liis poitly frame, genial face and
suave manner impress one with a sense of
veneration, and put the conference at ease.
The room was well filled with preachers,
their wives aud visitors.
The devotional exercises consisted of
Scripture reading by the Bishop, singing
aud prayer by H. C. Benson, followed by
the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, in
which the presiding elders assisted.
Tne Bishop spoke words of introduction.
He assured the ministers of hi? hearty
sympathy with them. Also that he had
ample coafideuce in them. Always accessi
ble to every preacher, he wished each one
to make known bis wishes, and, as far as
possible, they should bit accorded. In his
views he is a low churchman, considering
himself only as an liter carrying some
executive power with him. The grandeur
ot the State of California and its future
filled his soul with inspiration. No feeling
of hopefulness any one cherished could be
mere than he also felt. Evidently this
State has a deep hold on the good Bishop's
heart.
Rev. W. S. Urtny, Secretary of the last
conference, called the roll, a"nd 120 mem
bers responded, and 13 probationers.
The transfer of Richard llarcourt to the
Hal inure Conference was announced.

tional Society, Sabbath observance, temper
ance, Chinese and Japanese missions, Bible
cause, and state of the church. The confer
ence is to act on the equalizing of the repre
sentation in the general conference, making
the same number of ministers and laymen.

subject was read. Friday morning was
fixed as the time for discussion and voting.

Bills cf Lading."
Chicago, Sept 10.— At a meeting of the

Shore road administered a Quietus to tlie

allowing the use of both forms of bills of

THE MIMIC WORLD.
31 id week litotes of Business at
The Different Theaters. :
Managers Gathering . the Aftermath of the
Festival in Pull Attendance—
Circus. .
There Is "not much new In regard to our
leading local theaters, excepting the one
fact so gratifying to nil the managers that
the auditoriums of the different houses were
full to doors last evening. It is the after
math of the rural harvest that commenced
with the inception of the Admission* festivi
ties, and will probably continue, in a dimin
ishing degree, tilt the end ;of the week.
There are a great many visitor? from
the interior clinging to the fascinations
of the metropolis yet, aud one of the strong
est of these appears t > be the theater where
can be seen a performance at its best, and
before it is started on the road. There is n
fear, however, that this condition of things
may have a bad effect on the business of
road-show managers, and that the "young
man from the country" may turn up his
nose at the abbreviation on presentation in
his native village of the piece he saw in its
pristine brilliancy in San Francisco.'. If he
does not despise it, people will not believe
he has traveled. '
I>!xey lit ll in Beat. -
Dixey's "Adonis" is going with an easy and
pleasant swing at tin; Baldwin, and in most
agreeable contrast with the constrained
and, it may even bo said, the hide-bound
"Seven Ages" conceit that preceded it. The
musical feature of the performance is a happy
one— music, vocal music properly managed
is always a sure card in any stage produc
tion, and it is a surprise to us that
shrewd caterers to the public taste do
not " bear this in mind, trusting
to broader and popular effect* more,
and less to individualiznlion in such pieces
and the narrowing and monotonous vanity
which it engenders. The musical episodes
in the piece under consideration have been
arranged with admirable tact, and the
audience enthuses over them. In his
"Adonis" Mr. Dixey is quite as good as he
was wont to be; his imitations are his
happiest hits, while some of the word-play
is worthy of John Brougham.
The Alcazar* " Fuglt
Belonging, as it does in text anil construc
tion, to the extensive issue of English melo
dramas tl at have supplied the American
stage so long with its dramatic pabulum, is
hardly worthy of extended notice. It is like
going over a well-trodden path. Sims, Pet
titt, Conquest, Craven, Barrett ana all that
school ot playwrights work on Hie same
lines, and consequently produce sim
ilar results; and thus, by means of
the stage, tliu American mind Is
Iking familiarized with the ways and
manners of English life, whether
it be its virtues or its vices. What may be
said of the present performance at the Al
cazar is that while it is a good piece of its
kind, the management is additionally fortu
nate in having assembled a stock company
competent to present it to the best advan
tage. Miss Ethel Brandon is very neat in
her personation of llc-tir Ale lyon, and -Mr.
William Beach, the leading man, is equally
clear-cut in action as Jack Levitt, Squire
Stollery in the hands of Mr. James E. Wil
son is capital as a piece of characterization,
Mr. Leo Cooper, David Davit's, George S.
Flamming, lda'.ene Cotton and Fanny Young,
all rill their respective parts well.
"A Midnight Veil."
Mr. Charles Iloyt has sent a good com
pany to us this time to deal with his favor
ite farce, and the New California is reaping
the benefit thereof. Time, it is said, makes
all bines even, and we begin to think it will
even cure the crudities and irregularities of
a queer drama that Is often played and as
often letouc'ied. As has been remarked
elsewhere the music in this play is a power
ful addition to if, nun the old fa
miliar ballad of "My Pretty Jane,"
which made the refutation of Sims
Reeves, the English tenor— of "Comm" Thro'
the Bye" and "Annie Laurie" are so well
rendered that the audience grows effusive in
applause. Miss Percy Ilaswell, as Dot, the
miuiater'B unconventional s-ister, lias made a
tine Impression by her Incisive acting, and
George Richardson, as the deacon, is a good
picture of a character in every Yankee vil
lage where local affairs are managed by the
"selectmen."
Csuglit On.
The Granger engagement at the Bush
street, in the Davey-llooper play "Inher
ited," that opened.so auspiciously, promises
to car ry its good fortune throughout. The
play is emotionally strong, and Miss
Granger has a thorough command of its re
quirements, She sustains ■;•■■!£ admira
bly all through the four acts, where it may
be said there is no "dearth of woman's
tears." To show what she has to encoun
ter in putting the dramatic story into
action a . brief summary may as : well
be repeated: Helen . Carrutliers (Miss
Granger), with on inherited taint of
in.-aiiily, marries Julian Raymond
(Harry Mainhall', and in. time goes mad,
leaving a year-old child and Alice IVlhaiu
to her husband. After five years her hus
band, having had the marriage annulled,
marries Alice, and on tins (Jay the wife's
reason it restored and she escapes from the
asylum and comes home, She comes, how
evi-r, too late to do much els? except to take
poison, and this she docs and dies. . Miss
Granger has vastly improved in her acting
methods, and is warmly accepted by the
Audience. :. It is oil > the cards that she may
extend her present tour to Australia, pro
viding the steamship line be not withdrawn,
of which theie is a strong probability.

j tent to shine in "society" plays, and of I the

SPORTING MATTERS.
Acton's Proposal to Lewis for a
Wrestling Boot
The Firit Say of the Quail Shooting Season.
Tin California Club Exhibition—Ama
% tenr Ath'.etici.
Joe Acton arrived yesterday from Seattle.
He said that he had received several letters
and telegrams from friends in this city who
are anxious to see him and Evan Lewis
wrestle for the championship under catch
as-catcli-can rules, and that nc had notified
Lewis ot the terms he would wrestle him.
"This man Lewis is very powerful," re
marked Joe. "and I don't propose to wrestle
him at any weight that he may select, just
because his manager, Parson Duvies,
says so.
"Lewis, as I understand from Mr. Fulda,
the President of the California Club, offered
to wrestle me catch-as-catch-can, best two
in three falls, at 175 pounds. Now, I will
split the difference with him, and if he
agrees to meet me at 172% pounds I will
wrestle him for S3OO or $1000 a side, the
match to be governed by cither the Olympic
or California Club rules, which means that
the Strangler's favorite choke lock will be
barred."
Acton does not object to any suitable
place which might be selected for the con
test should Lewis agree to meet him upon
the terms as stated. Acton's wrestling
weight is 154 Dounds and with the advant
age of eighteen pounds Lewis can not well
refuse to meet (he little demon.
NO TIDINGS mOM MUBPHT.
When Billy Murphy shook • hands : with
Captain Morse of trie steamer Alameda for
the last time, he promised -the captain that
he would positively cable him the result ot
the fight, which was to have taken place
last Wednesday week between Murphy and
Gi iffo, a crack Australian feather-weight
pugilist.
Up to last evening the captain had not re
ceiven a word from Murphy, aud he believed
the fight must have either been postponed
or that Murphy met his Waterloo. Billy's
brother is matched to fight on the 2Gth of
this month, and the captain thinks that the
champion antipodean spider is awaiting the
result that he can send the two in one dis
patch.
"Yes," added Captain Morse, "Billy is
quite a diplomat, and you can bet that he
will not get the tail end of any agreement
he signs."
Young Mitchell has refused a purse- of
$5000 to fight in England one of the Queen's
own champion pugilists. Mitchell says
that he has had enough of globe trotting and
if any pugilist who aspires for championship
honors In the middle-weight class, wishes
to fight him that the content must take
place in this city.
DENNIS UNDERRATES HIM.
June Dennis is a pugilist who underrates
Mitchell's abilities. June says that Cham
pion Johnnie escaped lucky when the match
between him and La Blanche was declared
off, and that he has a barker who will
wager §500 that Mitchell cannot stop him in
a week .of Sundays. June Dennis is the
colored pugilist who has whipped several
local fighters, and he positively refuses to
acknowledge Mitchell a champion until the
latter meets him with or without gloves in a
contest to a finish.
The foot-race which will take place next
Saturday nlternoon between A. S. Hender
son aud M. L. Esplnosa is attracting much
attention in amateur circles, and the athletes
of the Olympic Club have been wagering
heavily on the result E3pinosa is a slight
favorite.
The lawn tennis championship games
were concluded last Tuesday at San Rafael.
The ladies' championship whs won by Miss
Wilkinson. In the nii-n's doubles McGavin
and Tohin were the successful competitor*.
The California Club has made all arrange
ments for next Friday evening's contests.
The match between Kochfstte and Youu.it
liuntiugtOD will be to a finish, and the Di
rectors say that if the police will riot permit
the contest to go on to a conclusion, a test
case will surely follow.
: OPENING OF THE SEASON. V
The season for quail-shooting opened yes
terday. For weeks the birds have been
trapped by hunters and farmers' sons and
kept in coops, to await the opening of the
season. The active and industrious depu
ties ff the game aud fish commission wer»
asleep yesterday morning when hundreds of
quails, many of which had been "shot in
the bag," arrived in this city.
It would have been utterly impossible for
the law-abiding hunters to shoot the birds
yesterday morning, and have them in the
city markets for sale as early as 9 o'clock,
yet there were hundreds of quails exposed lor
sale at that hour, nnd the average price re
alized was £1 75 per dozen. Sportsmen who
observe the game laws are very deiirous of
knowing why zealous and watchful guuie
wardens are allowed a salary of 8100 or
$125 per month. One prominent sportsman,
who is in the gun trade, states that the Chief
of the Patrol is paid for filing a monthly re
port. - ■" - : ■ ■*'■■ . ■■■ -"* ■••■'■'• •■■•"■- .

The New York Sun eulogizes Lon Myers,

wise:

old-timers to see Mm stalking about In the en

latter-day athletes are - equaling and eclipsing
his greatest performances, the old guard stand

ever will be a runner the equal ot Lou in ills
palmy days. .' .
- * During a conversation with Lon Myers a
few days ago, a reporter of a New York
paper asked him what he thought of West

AN ELEVATOR FALLS.
S«»eral People Frlchteoed, bat Fortu
nately >o On* Hurt.
Considerable excitement was created
among tho downtown hotels Tuesday after
noon and on the street immediately after
the parade, by the report that one of the ele
vators in tin; tall building on the corner of
Kearuy and Marhel streets had fallun and
injured a number of poo pie.
From the fact that the elevators in the
building named are small and usually over
crowded, and are also run at a high rote of
speed, the rumor that an accident had oc
curred immediately led to the supposition
that Rome one had been hurt.
An investigation into tUe matter developed
the fact that die of the elevators imd
through some defect in the machinery fallen
from a considerable distance to the ground
floor.
As near as could be ascertained there
were only two persons in the elevator lie
;ldes the boy in charge. All were so badly
shaken up that they vomited, and it v\as
feared that they Imd sustained internal in
juries. One of the occupants of the de
scending cage had his mist ami arm se
verely injured.
A placard signed by the owner of the
building was hung up soon alter, notifying
the public tliat tho elevators were running
for employes only. An inquiry at the
office of the owner of the building elicited
the fact that the elevator bad fallen, but that
no accident had occurred.
The employes about il?e building refused
to s»y anything about it.
FIELD OF LABOR.
More Converts by the Holders.
Strouse's Meat Wagons.
The striking molders claim to have again
defeated the foundrymen, and are elated
over their success. A few days ago the
foundrymen's agent in the East employed,
as he supposed, thirteen non-union rodders
for the shops in this city, and shipped them
from Philadelphia on Thursday of last
week.
One of the supposed "scabs" was a mem
ber of tfce San Francisco Union, and it is
claimed was recently sent East to wntch the
union's interests. He succeeded in inducing
two of the men to leave at Chicago, three
more at Omaha and seven at Terrace, Utah,
including himself, leaving ODe man, who
arrived in this city on Tuesday night.
A firing delegation of union molders was
in waiting to receive him, also a posse of
eight patrolmen. The new arrival was
shown into a coups and driven rapidly to
the Rlsdon Iron Works.
Three more converts have been made in
the various shops, one in the City Foundry,
one in Byron Jackson's and one in the
Miner's, all of whom have been sent back
East by the union. Five mote union moldera
will leave for the East on Saturday.

The Butchers' Protective Association has
what may : prove to be a very interesting
fight on hand in the Mark Strouse peddling
wagon cases.
It appears that these w.igoni were not
owned by j Mr. Strouse, but were simply
hired by him of Theodore Gurney, the well
known Boston man who established the
Gurney cab system on this Coast. . It further
appears that Mr. Strouse is taking but very
little part in contesting the case, but that
Mr. Gurney is doing it all.
■ Mr. Gurney has in fact made an open dec
laration of war, and says . ho will overturn
the system of municipal licenses if he has
to go clear through the United State-) Su

violation of the Constitution of the United
States, and lias instructed hi* attorney, Al

him know better than to doubt his determi

Gram's Minnment.
New York, Sept. 10.— The design of
John 11. Duncan for Grant's monument here
has been accepted. Before the main en
trance wtll stand an eque6trian statue. The
main edifice will be 100 feet square at tho
foundation and will rise to nn rxtreme
height of over ICO feet. It will rest on a base
formed by risins tiers of steps. The in
terior will resemble somewhat the tomb <>f
Napoleon, the ceiling terminating in a lofty
dome. The crypt, destiued to contain two
coffins, may be viewed through a circular
opening on the level of the main entrance.
The ornamentation will conlorm with the
general character of the building. The

a round colonnade, which is intended to
give it an air of completeness. Either
granite or marble will be chosen for the
material.

jurisdiction over liehring Sea. It says there
wno other way out of the difficulty, and

that no trick is pfiyed by England in their
selection, an occurrence which would not be
