Al Si.buck, the champion bicycliat,
made hiß second attempt to beat three
running horaea for 50 milea yeaterday,
and waa once more defeated, thia time
by more than on the previoue ncoaeion.
A etrong wind waa blowing during the
race, and tho track has been left in bad
condition by the recent raine, bo that tbe
bicyclist waa handicapped somewhat;
but it wae evident during the laat low
milea of the race that Schock waa not in
the condition required for a 50-mile race
againet three running horses.
The horaea and jockeye both were also
far from freeh for the last 10 milea, but
tbe race waa in tbeir handa before thia,
and it required no extra exertion to win
after that.
Once, juat at the commencement of
the 45th mile, it looked aa if Schock
might win on account of an accident.
Tbe jockey, when attempting to mount
one of the horaea waa thrown, aud the
riderless borae went galloping arouud
the track. There waa confueion for a
littlo time, but another mount waa ee
oured, and in leaa than a mile the loat
■round had been regaiued.
Schock kept even laps with the
lioraes until tbe 31st mile, when the
horsa going againet him then waa put
to its beet speed, and gained a lap dur
ing tbe mile.
The hnrsea were reauired to go four
more laps than the bicycliat. The eec>
onu gain wae made in tbe 34th mile,
and tbe third in the 35th. In the 421
the fourth waa overcome, and from that
to the finish, the horses gained one
mile, or four laps more. The official
time aa given waa: llortea, 50 wiles, 2
houra and 48 seconds: Schock, 4a miles,
2 hours, 49 minutes end 3D seconds.

Tbere seems to be some doubt still as
to whether Joe Patchen and Ryland T.
will come to Los Angeles for tbe winter.
John (i. Taylor, tho owner of Joe Patchen,
has recently purchased a farm in Illi
nois and it was given out that be would
winter bis racers there, but ac was re
marked by one of his horsemen at Agri
cultural park yesterday, when Mr. Tay
lor finds that the banana crop is a fail
ure in Illinois this season on account of
front, be is liable to pull out witb bia
string for a warmer climate. Monroe
Salisbury received a telegram from Kau
sae city yesterday tbat tbe two horeee
would be beie, but a later dispatch aaya
that the race which waa to have taken
place there has been poatponod for a
week on account of rum.
Andy McDowell, Monroe Salisbury's
driver, the man who rides behind Alix,

business, though he alwaya gets bia in
structions from Mr. Salisbury, even to
minutest details.
lt ia reported that while in California
J. Malcoinb Forbea bought aome 15
bead of choice mares and tilliea from the
Palo Alto establishment. The lot, us
reported, couaieted of tbe f»Bt old mare

According to a recent number of the
lloraeman, Monroe Salisbury, who ia
now in tbia city witb bia Btring ot world
beatera, ia one of the beat talkers be
longing to the hone brigade. Thia ia
true, aa with moat other men, when
you catch him iv a oongenial mood —

waa an old stage men traversing
the broad plains ol the weßt, carrying
the mails over tbe high rangen and
through the moat , daugeroua Indian
country ol the wild, unknown western
ountry. The traila were bad, and it
nee often difficult to carry v
couch Irom starting point to finish
without upaettiug it somewhere on the

when a paaeentjer waa injured in a
wreck, the best thing to do was to

One lime hia old stage driver, Charlie,
waa taking a loud ol Chinamen over a
very wild, monntainoua piece ol roild,
a dißtance of some. 450 milea. When

Salisbury asked him the reason why.
"Well." he said, "every time 1 go
through the mountain and pass those
pig tails, I imagine I can i.co their

HE IS SPEEDY.
Nui, the Champion Trottlag Ung of
the World.
Ned is in town. Perhaps you don't
know who Ned ia. Ned is tho moßt val-.
liable dog in Ihe United Stntaa, and just
because he can trot a quarter in 0:17 in
the harness and pull a boy and sulky,
the combined weight of which pair ia 85
pounda.
In the last few years this speedy
BSniOe line wou $12,000 for hia owner, 11.
McCue, of Fiudlav, 0.. and ia still a
world-beatc.i. capable of drawing many
more kopeks iuto the OcXTeM of hia

Ned ia stabled out at Agricultural

there, and every day he "worka out"
and baa hia regular training anrno as the
horaea. He ia a natural trotter. His
owner disciverod thia fact while train
ing him for a hunter, and immediately
act to y/ork to break him to harness.
Thia was several yeara ago and Ned has
been racing all over the country, having
defeated 176 ponies all over the country.
"Ned's" first race waa a corker, lie
waa bitched to a goat cart borrowed for
tbe occasion and won $50 for hia owner
from the proprietor of a roan mule with
a spike tail. Ho was tiret exhibited on
the Oblo state lair track. Trie sulky be
hauls now wae made especially for his

exactly 25 pounda.
Ned ie a liver-colored English pointer,
25 inchea high and woigha 72 pounds.
At tho Bay diatrict track he went a
quarter in 47 aeconda, which would be
about ali :08 gait for tho mile. He has
raced at Madison Square gardene, New
York, Point Breese track, Philadelphia,
and on nearly every track in the grand
circuit.
Mr. McCue has recently purchased an
other dog that he calla "California
Sport," and tbinka he haa atruck in him
tbe champion pacing dog of the world.
While "Ned'e" gait is a equare trot
"California Sport" is just aa much a
pacer, and although he ia hardly yet
broken to harness be ehowa remarkable
epeed.
Mr. McCue expects to get a match for
"Ned" while in thie city and dog fan
ciera and lovers of good eport will Bee
something worth their while when the
event comes off.

event nnd there are at least half a dozen

There ara two events in tbe class A

John S. Prince, the professions! who
would like a race with Schock, will bo
in tbe city during tho holiday week, but
it ia improbable that lie will race here
unless a match against, horses or some
eort of a novelty race can be gotten up
for him. Schock rays he wants none of
Prince's game.
There ia talk of a mile race between
Burke, tbe mile champion, and Flying

New York. Dec. 16. —Immediately
upon the close of the football season the
Yale Football association, in view of
the charges against Captain Hinkey of
the eleven, appointed a committee to in
vestigate. The committee waa perfectly
satisfactory to the Harvard eleven. It
has found that the charges of roughness
in the Springfield game, which resulted
in the willful injury of VVright
inton by Hinkey, are not sus
tained. Tbe committee exam
iced Hinkey, who states poeitively
that he did not knee or otherwiee mal
treat Wrightington in the Springfield
game, and that he baa never been
guilty of unfair roughness in any of the
games in which he baa taken part. In
hia statement the referee cays he waa
near the men at the time the alleged
willful injury occurred, aud he main
tains that Wrightington was thrown
perfectly fair, so bis injuries were the
result of accident and not of malevo
lence on the part of members of tbe

SIX TO ONE.
"Six grout, stropping boys, nnd never a
girl among vm?" lays old Martha Gray,
With a look full o! exclamation points nnd
a half smothered sigh of what tried to be
resignation.
For my own port I have no objection to
boys. On tho contrary,! rather Ilka thorn,
lint I must finy 1 like tbem diluted. A
family of unmitigated boye is, I think,
w iib Martha Gray, ratbor formidable.
".Must make t\ sight of work, fatty,"
says Martha's crony.
'.Sight! Laws mc, from morning till
night it's tops and kites and marbles
a-rollin around on tho Hour nnd a trippiu
of mo up, and strings a snarlin and lookin
glasses 'i broakin, with bails and boxlh
gloves and—laws me, I'd rather havo tho
care o' 20 girls than them six boy:;!''
"What On oirth, then, makes you stay
there? Why don't you go somewhere else?
There's places enough would ho glad to
get you, und we all know Mtirtba Gray
Blh't lieholdin to nobody, neither."
•'Leave!- Leave Miss London, with them
ay six boys, to her own destruction? Sho
wouldn't Uvo a month. She ain't no mom
fit to take euro on 'em than your (ieordie."
"No renson why you should slave your
self out for'em. Why didn't sho bring
'cm up better?"
"Lud a rinssy!" fired up old Martha.
"What bo you n-tnlkln about, Nancy
Smith? There ain't no better behaved
family in tho world. I don't care where
fJicy be. Miss London ain't never had no
health, and can't do for 'em, hut sho man
ages 'Om like waxwork. Th' ain't one of
'em bur what minds her just as quick as
sho speaks—same as they do their father.
And they're just tho most affectionest
creetura you over sec. And Mr. Fred has
took the first sulutcry nt college, and Dave
expects to get the medal, and tho' ain't
one hut what's bright as a button. Sura,
they's noisy, nnd they's boisterous and I
sights o' trouble, hut I should like to know
what boys ain't that's Wuth tlin linmc o'
boys. I wouldn't have such white llvcrod
things as MifS Jameses boys, and I don't
leuve Miss London's till I'm turned out
doors neck mid heels."
That is the way good old Martha Gray,
stood up for her darlings.
Now, it so happened that very nearly r.t
the samo moment, a pleasant room in Mr.
London's house was chattering full of
these very boys that, Martha was talking
about. I VraS going to call it tho parlor,
but it was nut the parlor—it was "ma's
room." "Ma," being almost an invalid,
sat a greater part of tho time in her room,
and in consequenco everybody elso sat in
hor room when any sitting was going on.
"Do you think girls nro gooder than
boys, papa?" asked Basil seriously.
"Softer and lighter than boys and easier
to handle," answered papa, quite as seri
ously.
"Thero ought to bo ono girl inn fam
ily," interposed Frod, who, having just
taken a "salutery," was supposed to be
capable of pronouncing a final decision on
any subjeot whatever. "All boys and no
girls is a bore."
"I guess wo'yo got a girl now," spoko
up young Rodorio. "I guess mamma Is
as good as a girl."
"Now, ma, say," said Dave, "don't you
wish ono of us was a girl?"
"Whioh one could I spore, I wonder?"
''Oh, well, Mooro is 10. He'd bo just
tho right ago for me," exclaimed Fred.
"Catch me!" cried Moore. "Basil now
might bo a girl. Ho likes to sit in people's
laps and bo babied. That's what girls
like. We'll make him up into a girl."
"No, I won't bo a girl," shouted Basil.
"Hen Duniloy's a girl."
Basil had very limited views of woman
hood. Hen Dumley stood for the sex. Ho
knew that he hated Hen Dumley, and ho
did not mean to bo put into any class to
which she belonged.
' Yes you will bo a girl," said Fred,
who loved totoasehlm. " You wear dresses
now, and it'll come all right."
"Well, I am not going to bo a girl, nnd
I'm going to wear a jacket next spring,
ain't I, ma?"
"If it doesn't rain."
"But don't you want to bo a girl nnd
havo a doll to piny with and a beau to
oomo and see you?"
''I'd rather go a-courtin," said Basil
dubiously. A guy laugh followed this re
joinder, and
About six weeks afterward thero enmo
to Mrs. London's ears a tale of sorrow—of
shipwreck and suffering mid death. Beau
ty and youth and hope and life went down
into the angry waters. Father and moth
er, brother and sister, friend and acquaint
ance—the sea spared them not—tho wrath
ful, ravenous sen. But ono littlo human
blossom—ono tiny, frail life—ono 2-year
old girl bnby, found her ark In tho arms
of a broad shouldered negro sailor, was
borne "through the jaws of death" and
smiled from horbltio eyes straight out into
the sunshine, just as happily as if father
nnd mother were not torn from her for-
Bver.
It was known that Mrs. London was
fond of little girls and had none of her
own. Would sho mother this poor waif?
The ohlld'a family wero not yet discov
ered, but great efforts wero making. It
was evident that sho was gently born, but
months might elapse beforo sho could
bo restored to friends. Meanwhile she
ought to be tenderly cared for, nnd in
Base her family should not bo found it
was desirable that sho Bhould bo with
those who would cherish her as their own.
She could not be given up to public char
ity. The pity whioh her sad Into excited
was too great for thut. So tho littlo
stranger was laid in Mrs. London'a lap,
and tho father nnd the six boya camo nnd
looked upon her. Whut did they sco that
Itirscd tholr heurts so, hushed their ring
ing voices into silence nnd brought a
dampness to their eyes? Only a shy,
sturdy face, half afraid, half repellent:—
Dnly little fat. hands and dimpled arms—
auly a baby girl, swept away from father's
arms and mother's bosom—swept up by a
pitiless sea upon tho bleak shores of n
■trangcr world, an orphan and alone. But
when Mra. London said in a low voice,
"Well, papa, what do you soy?" Roderlo
answered quickly:
''I say, let's havo hor."
"Is It a vutc?" asked papn.
"She's too young to be of any uso to
nic," said Fred,.appearing Indifferent, to
gloss over tho fact that ho had been vory
near crying, "but It's too bad to send her
tossing around tho world again. She'll
bo a good plaything. I'd keep her."
' What Kays Basil? 1 Will you have your
nose put out of joint?"
"Sho can't hurt my nose," said Basil.
And by a unanimous verdict "sho" was
admitted to the family oirclo.
"Sho" turned oVj3i3fthing topsy turvier

Meanwhile the little onnliud no name.
"What do you suppose her name is?"
Basil asked a dozen times v day. "How
soon shnll we name her if we don't find

"And, mamma, if you don't find out
anybody who owns her she'll l o chris
tened just, as wo Were, won't she?"
' Yes, dour. Wo mean to have her."
"And her naiuo will bo London some
thing—no, something Londuu?"
"Just so."
"And she'll bo our very cm sinter—just
tho BamOOS 11 sho was burned so?"
"Net exactly the same, bat just as dear,
won't slie? She will not ho Ottf own
blood, but sho will bo onr own heart."
But one day, when the lilile girl had
been with them about eight months, there
runic a letter announcing thai the rcarch
bad been successful; that the child* grand
father had been found; that he was an
English clergyman and bad already started
to visit America and bring the baby home.
The news fell upon the earn of tho London
family like a thunderbolt. sT hoy had grad
ually grown into thinking her their own.
and they shrank from giving her up. The
letter had been delayed on its wny, and
tho day after its reception the grandfather
arrived. Thero was a long conference in
the parlor, to Which tho children were not
admitted. They gathered in tho library,
however, and compensated themselves by
abusing their guest.
Hut when they wero called into the par
lor and presented severally to Mr. Talbot
their anger was turned away. Even their
young eyes could see the lines which grief
had traced on that thin face, and not only
in the thin, worn, aged face, but in tho
bent, and feeble frame they saw tho marks
of sorrow—the signs of a broken heart—
which touched theirs to the tendercstpity
and sympathy. They felt, hut did not
know how deeply they felt. Tho littlo girl,
contrary to their expectations, was not
afraid, but sat quiet and trustful in her
grandfather's arms. Sonic blind mother
instinct controlled her wayward liltlo
heart.
"So these nro my Barbara's brothers,"
ho said, with a pleased smile.
"Wo hopo you will let her be," answer
ed Moore.
"I am suro sho can find no better," ho
responded, his smile dying like n sigh.
"You don't mean to take her away,
please, sir?" asked Arthur eagerly.
"Not tonight, my boy," said his father.
"Mr. Talbot is ill and exhausted from
his journey, so we will lot that rest aud
talk about it tomorrow."
"But just tell me, papa," said Basil
soflty, "is that her name?"
"Yes. Barbara Postlethwaito Talbot Is
her name."
"There's lots cf it," whispered Dave.
"And tomorrow we .shall know who's go
ing to have her?"
"Yes, my child. Probably tomorrow Mr.
Talbot will decide."
But tomorrow brought the decision from
a higher power than Mr. Talbot. His
health had boon feeble for years. Tho anx
iety of suspense which he hud endured re
garding the fate of his only child, Bar
bara's father, had been too much for him.
Tho news of Barbara's rescuo had roused
and renewed him oneo more, but it was
only for a moment, and in the night God
sent his angel. Delaying yet a littlo whlh
to tho prayer of love, tho angel stood by
him, clasping close in his hand the hand
of tho weary wanderer, and littlo Bar
barn's happy face shone in his longinp
eyes. In those last hours he mado a Una!
disposition of his affairs, and tho child
was consigned lo tho raro of tho new
friends who luved her so well.
"I havo outlived my family," ho sold
"Thero la no other to whom I wish v
commit her. You will eheerish her ten
tlerly." But he needed no assurance. Hi
had seen himself how dear sho had grown
to them.
It had been her father's wish that tin
seal of baptism should be set upon her
brow by hia father's hands. It was decid
ed that she should hour her own name, but
that tho name of London should bo insert
ed. The children hud gathered in the
room where the old ninn lay bolstered up
in bed. Mr. London held the littlo girl in
his arms, and in a few words asked lor her
the blessings of God. Then tho dying
man touched her forehead with tho water
nf baptism und pronounced with a clear
voice:
"Barbara Postlethwaito London, I bap
tizo theo in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy tihost. Amen."
Then the angel gently pressed his hand,
nnd they two went. away together through
l!ie gates of pcurljnto the beautiful city.
But Barbara stnid behind. Her pafter
ng feet make music still in the home that
mould bo lonely Without her. No spring
I'lolut is moro lovely than she. No June
,■OBO exhales a sweeter fragraiieo than hol
low/ presence. All tho summer birds
-Ing in hor joyous voice, and when the
nimnicr is gone and winter seals up the
jeloiiy and covers nwuy the beauty she
irings tho perfume of flowers, tho ripple
