July V—The tjuo warranto proceedings institu ted by the supreme lodge of the Ancient Order of I'nited Wnrk'ueu against the grand lodge of that order, comes before the circuit court which is in session now. The grand lodge, it will be remembered, was suspend ed by the supreme lo !ge. because of th' ir refusal to pay the relief assessments nrde^ ed by that body. The grand lodge retai:n Us unity, and a new grand lodge, holding allegiance to the supr. :ne iodg-', was form ed The action pending is to establish whether the old grand lodge has any right to use the name and the paraphernalia of the order.

Chicago Herald: If the following dis patch which we publish from (he San Kran citoo Call, be true, and it is certainly spe cific in detail, the star of Maud S. as cham pion of the trotting turf has sunk beneaih the horizon. Thedispatch reads, Sacramento, June 27 —Horace Elder of this city to-day bought a horse from S. Trefry, which, is, to saj- the least an equine wonder. He is a bright bay gelding six teen hands high, compactly ouilf, and a perfect beauty. He was raised City, Monterey comity. The price paid was $4,000. After the purchase the horse was driven around the Agricultural park course, and made remarkable fast time. The quar ter was made in Hu seconds the half ^in 1:04, and the mile in 2:01)1. The owner thinks that before fair time his horse will be able to make the mile inside of two min utes. It is strange that such a wonderful per formance as this was not telegraped from the Pacific coast. If the dispatch is true it records a mo.st important turf event and while it cannot of course, pass into a record, it yet shows that tiiere are greater possibili ties 01 8)t*ed in horseflesh than have been developed. Mr. Elder, the owner of the horse is veil known to Californiaus as an old resident of Sacramento, and tfie section where tbe horse was raised is noted for its sui»erb stock farms and valuable strains o blood.
