tST The great CHAMPION PRICE LIST thrown right in the teeth of the COM-
BINATION, and let those houses who have any pretentions to a live business, or any
laurels to win, follow in our track. During the next Fourteen Days, every inducement
compatible with a legitimate business will be offered by the CRITERION. It is an old
trick of the Trade to follow a Live House (on paper), in the publishing of their prices,
and it is the easiest thing m the world to write figures and mislead the public. What
we ask of our patrons is to produce OUR PRICE LIST, and the goods advertised shall
be forthcoming ; and be it understood that if any house shall, after the printing of
this document, pledge themselves by advertising to supply the same article, at the
same or lower rate, that the said house or houses shall produce said goods as per adver"
tisement, that judgment may be rendered by the public, whom we constitute the only
legitimate arbiters.

Talk of a Special Purse for Stallions.
■ San Francisco, September 19th.— It is re
ported among horsemen here that the State
Agricultural Society intend offering a special
purse to any California stallion beating the
best stallion time on record — Smuggler's
2:15J — some day during the fair. Colonel P.
A. Finigan says if a special purse be offered
he will trot Santa Claus for the prize.
Incidents of the Anti-Chinese Democratic
Procession at San Francisco.
San Francisco, September 19th.— During
the procession last evening, and as it was
about to advance from the corner of Mew
Montgomery and Howard streets, an alarm
of fire was sounded from box Cl, corner of
Howard and Third streets. An immense
crowd had gathered in this vicinity to see the
start, and several divisions of the procession
had been formed on the streets in the neigh
borhood of the fire. The various companies
of the procession fell back, and forced the
crowd into places of safety on the sidewalk,
averting the danger from the desperate rush
of the fire engines through such a gathering
as had assembled. Notwithstanding the acts
of the officers of the procession, many per
sons, in the excitement of the occasion re
mained in the direct course of the engines,
and several were knocked down, although,
fortunately, none were severe'y injured.
At the intersections of Sacramento, Clay
and Washington streets with Kearny small
knots of Chinese had gathered, and from the
incessant chattering they kept up it seemed
as though they were taking a painful interest
in the proceedings.
The only accident on the line of march was
occasioned by an officer's horse becoming un
manageable on Montgomery street, near Sac
ramento. A number of police officers at
tempted to check the animal, and two or
three of them were knocked down. Officer
Qninn was more seriously hurt than any of
the others. Au examination of his wounds
at the City Receiving Hospital showed that,
although some severe contusions had been
sustained, beyond them and a few bruises the
injuries, although painful, were not serious.
Various Ban Francisco Items.
San Francisco, September 19th.— There
were GOO registrations np to 9 o'clock last
night, making a total of 19,407 up to date.
The receipts of the Central Pacific Rail
road thus far show a gain of over a quarter of
a million dollars, as compared with the same
time last year, while there is an excess of
nearly $300,000 in the August earnings over
those of the same month in 1879.
During the past week death has gathered
in 89 persons from our midst, 3 of whom died
from smallpox. There were 11 deaths from
zymotic diseases, 18 from constitutional, 43
from local causes, 8 from developmental, 6
violent deaths, and 2 causes unascertained.
Of these 34 were natives -of California, and
19 of other States of the Union.
One of the richest specimens of gold quartz
that ever came to this city is at present at an
assay office on Sacramento street. It is in
two lumps, the whole weighing about 250
pounds. Through the entire mass fine gold
is scattered so tkickly as to change the color
in places. The two lumps together are
valued at SC.OOO, and the rock mills to the
very pleasant tune of 846,000 per ton.

Oakland, September 18th. — Michael Da
vitt, the Irish agitator, whose sickness de

Michael Davitt, the Irish agitator, arrived
in the city from Oakland, at 2 P. M. At the
ferry landing a procession numbering thou
sands, and composed of Irish civic and mili
tary societies and citizens at large went up to
receive him. The procession then took up
its line of march through the principal streets
to the Grand Opera House. The building
was densely packed, notwithstanding a charge
of half a dollar for admission, for the benefit
of the Land League Funds. ;*<*"'
Pacific Const Politics.
San Francisco, _ September 19th.— The
Hancock and English Anti-Chinese proces
sion, which took place last night, was an im
mense affair, and in point of numbers out
ranked any previous demonstration of a
similar character that has ever taken place
on this coast.
San Jose, September 18th. — This evening
the first torchlight demonstration of the cam
paign was made by the Republicans. There
were about 500 torches in the procession, and
most of the men and boys were neatly uni
formed.
The Democrats held a meeting, which was
addressed by Colonel Flournoy of San Fran
cisco; and the Greenbackers also met, and
were addressed by Denis Kearney, Stephen
Maybell and J. E. Clark.
The Greenback County Convention met at
the Opera House at 11 A. M. There were
only fourteen or fifteen present, and a dozen
or more spectators. Among these were Denis
Kearney and Stephen Maybell.
Santa Rosa, September 18th.— The sup
porters of Hancock and English had a grand
house-warming here to-night, the occasion
being the inauguration of the Democratic
wigwam, a commodious building, specially
erected for the meetings of the campaign.

men had their County Convention here to
day, and made the following nominations :
For the Assembly, F. M. Jolly ; Sheriff, Ja_.

veyor. The Convention refused to indorse
any of the Democratic nominees.
Stockton, September 18th. — well at
tended and spirited mass meeting of Repub
licans was held here this evening, under the
auspices of the Garfield and Arthur Club, in
Mozart Hall. The meeting was presided over
by President T. K. Wilbur. After the in
stallation of the officers of the Army and
Navy league, the spectators were entertained
with able speeches by B. Jerome of Oakland
and Edwards of San Francisco.
Mabtsville, September 18th.— The Dem
ocrats of Yuba held the first meeting of the
campaign to-night, in front of the Western,
under the auspices of the Hancock and Eng
lish clubs of this city. Bonfires and fireworks
were part of the accessories. The meeting
was a large one, and adjourned with three
cheers for Hancock and English.
Grass Valley, September 18th.— J. F.

Henry Bird.
The Republican .primaries were also held
throughout the county yesterday. Their
convention meets next Saturday at this
place. The Supreme Court decision on the
County Government bill has somewhat de
moralized the people, and candidates are in
doubt what to do.
Greekvillf. August 19th.— One of the
finest political meetings for years was held
at this place last night. George A. Knight,
Republican nominee for Congress, was the
first speaker, and delivered an able and ar
gumentative speech, being frequently inter
rupted by applause. George T. Bromley was
next introduced, and entertained the audience
in the happiest manner. Salutes were fired,
there was music by a cornet band, and in
every particular the meeting was a grand
success.

the Court-room being well filled. Hon. C. T.

two hours.

with an immense ma*u-meeting in Central
Hall. The Garfield and Arthur Club, 250
strong, had a torchlight parade in uniform.
Frank M. Pixley and A. S. Van Bibber, of
San Francisco, made eloquent speeches. It
was one of the largest political meetings ever
held here.
Virginia (Xev.), September 18th.— There
is much excitement here to-night in politics
over the Republican primaries to come off on
Monday, and a mass meeting, for the purpose
of bringing about the adoption of the Craw
ford plan of expressing at the coming election
personal preferences for a candidate for the
United States Senate. Most people look upon
this as opposed to the interests of Mr. Sha
ron.
Virginia, September 19th.— Long before
the appointed time for the meeting of Re
publicans at Piper's Opera House to-night
to discuss the Crawford plan of expressing
at the coming election personal preferences
for candidates for the United States Senate,
the house was crowded from parquet to gal
lery. The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Stephens, who stated its object and
explained the Crawford plan. Calls were
then made for! C. J. Hillyer, Judge Lewis,
William Woodburn and others, but either
because of the earliness of the hour or a de
sire not to participate, no one for a time re
sponded. Judge Lewis finally rose in one of
the boxes and said he favored the plan. The
calls for speaking were renewed without ef
fect, and finally a motion to appoint com
mittees to nominate delegates for the prima
ries to-morrow was decided by the < 'hair to
be carried, although the noes were very
strong and prolonged. Mr. Hillyer was then
found in the audience and took the platform,
and argued ably in favor of adopting the
plan. He was frequently and enthusiasti
cally cheered. The committee was then ap
pointed and the meeting adjourned. As pre
dicted, the meeting proved to be thoroughly
anti-Sharon in design.
Trotting at Oakland— Contest Between
Bants Clans and Nutwood.
Oakland, September ISth. — Everybody at
the track this afternoon was on the gui vive
for the race between Santa Claus, Nutwood
and Abbotsford. The latter having with
drawn, left the battle to Nutwood and Santa
Claus. This was not so much of a disap
pointment, as there was a desire to see the
two come together without others in the way,
though the friends of Abbotsford were san
guine that had it not been for the accident at
Petaluma he would have made a good show
ing in the i ace. There was a good deal of
betting the night before, at even rates, some
large wagers being posted, while the pools
went as fast as the clerks could write the
tickets. Just before the start Santa Claus
was the favorite at the odds of $100 on him
to $82 50 on Nutwood. At the second score
the horses got a very level start, though be
fore a hundred yards were covered Santa
Claus broke. He is a " bad breaker," and
before his driver could make him regain the
trot Xutwood had taken a lead of several
lengths. The half-mile was passed by Nut
wood in 1:12, Santa Claus 1 J seconds behind,
equivalent to sixty feet. From thence Santa
Claus came in with a rush, reducing the
distance around the turn, anri when fairly
straightened into the stretch be came with
his old-time vim. Every stride he decreased
the lead of his competitor, overtook him as
he came opposite the stand, and among the
ringing cheers of thousands won the heat in
2:22. It was well known that Santa Claus
" was not himself," and only ten days pre
vious he could scarcely strike a trot, the
trouble being cracked heels. It would not do
to trot him fast until these were healed, and
hence his owner was aware that he could not
be expected to come up to the form he bad
shown earlier in the season. Then Nutwood
had been exercised at Santa Cruz, and the re
ports were that he never shown so well with
the same amount of training, and this was
the cause of the evenness in the betting.
The timers made the last quarter in 33
seconds, the last half of the heat in 1:08. The
betting was now $100 on Santa Claus to $50
on Nutwood. The driver of the latter was
changed, and the substitute sent him along
when the word was given at a terrible pace.
It was too fast, however, and Nutwood
br oke not more than fifty yards from the
starting pomt — a terrible break, in which
his driver had to yaw him about, the sulky
coming very near , to going over in one of
his frantic bounds. In the meantime Santa
Cruz was opening a long gap, though
going well within himself, and at the half
mile, in 1:11$, he was forty feet in the lead.
As they came down the stretch Nutwood
broke again, and when within a hundred
yards of home, the driver of Santa Claus be
gan to pull him up, when he went all to
pieces, stumbling along and catching his
quarter boots at every bound. utwood was
also "bobbing round and round," and it was
certainly one of the most ludicrous finishes
ever seen in a trotting heat. Santa Claus
was pulled up, striking his trot a length be
fore he came to the wire, and in a walk with
in ten feet after he passed it. the time 2:24.
In the third heat there is little to relate.
.The driver of Santa Clau3, benefiting by the
lesson of the previous heat, allowed him to
go along from the start to the finish. The
quarter was made in 30 seconds, the half in
1:0DJ, and the mile in 2:18, which could have
been reduced had the driver of Santa Claus
desired.
Summary — £750 ; heats of a mile ; best three in

Seventh Day Advent Ist-." Camp Meeting.
Alameda, September 18th. — Friday even
ing Elder S. N. Haskell preached from Rev
elations xiv, 9 and 10: "And the third an
gel followed them, saying, with a loud voice,
if any man worship the feast and his image,
and receive his mark in his forehead or in his
hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of His indignation." A
large audience listened attentively while the
speaker appealed to them to live holy and
temperate lives. Yesterday morning a Sab
bath School was organized by W. C. White,
consisting of from four to five hundred
scholars, arranged in four divisions and
forty-two classes, and it was conducted with
ability and interest. At 2:30 P. M. Elder

sity of . being reconciled to ' God. After
which appeals were made by Elders Haskell
and Heaiy, and twenty-seven persons arose
for prayers. Much earnestness is already
manifested in the meetings. ,; T^.

So ii ml lifitil in n Boat.
Astoria, September 19th.— Henry T. Den
nis, an old and highly respected settler on
John Day river, Clatsop county, a mail car
rier, left Astoria at 6 o'clock yesterday even
ing in an open boat with his mail and provis
ions, apparently in perfect health. At 9:30
p. m. Chief of Police Barry was notified that
a boat with her matt standing and sail set
was lying between the ship Bell of Bath and
a barge alongside loaded with wheat. Rob
bery was suspected. The Chief went to recon
noiter and saw one man only in the boat. He
jumped aboard and found it was Dennis, in a
sitting posture, dead, with the mail and cargo
undisturbed. Dennis was last seen off the
light-house depot, trying to weather Tongue
Point against the tide. It is supposed that
the boat drifted down from there to where it
was found between the ship and barge. A
physician testified at the inquest that death
resulted from natural causes, and a verdict
was rendered accordingly. Deceased was
highly esteemed in this community, aged 44
years, unmarried, and lived with his aged
mother. . y-222 7 '
