SPORTING EVENTS OF THE DAY. Schock Again Defeated l>y the Bantling Horses. Handicapped by Wind nnd Poor Con- dition of the Track, See-ball at the Athletic Park Was a Little on the ••Ponk" Order Veator.lny '„,„., Horse Ootaip-Notra. 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, 2 :l>3 :( 4 , is one of the beat drivers in the business, though he alwaya gets bia in structions from Mr. Salisbury, even to minutest details. lt ia reported that while in California J.

The lot, us reported, couaieted of tbe f»Bt old mare Vina Hello, 2;15' 4 , by Nephew, dam Flushing Belle, by Dictator; four yearl ing fillies and nine weaning fillies, of which two are by* Truman, 2:12 j three by Lmgtou, 2:26£; two by Azmoor, 2:20' 2 ; two by Advertiser, 2:15' 4 ; one each hy Hugo, 2:27)., Norrts. 2:22\i, Lent, 2:20,> 2 and Palo Alto, 3:08%. 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 — -at after having eaten a Brat-claes din ner. When you meet the peraietont (Jalifornian under favorable circum stances he will delight you with rami niacencea of tha paat. and enlighten one on htatorical points in connection witb tbe frontier days befo.'6 rail roads eupereeded the stage coach and freighting outfit. Salisbury 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 route, and n story is told ol tho Cali fornian which, "while it may not be true, it certainly Buvora ot hie well known caracteriata, for it ie aanl that hie inatructlona to drivers were that when a paaeentjer waa injured in a wreck, the best thing to do was to take the king pin, hit him on the bond and Battle the dispute right thero. 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 at the topmoat pinnacle of the trip tbey became lost iv a enuw • to/m aud waudeied around an entire night to find their bearings. When day light Appeared and Charlie made an in ventory ot liia passengers, he found that out oi the 11 Chinamen he started with. 10 of them eat up In their aeata. but ware oßdead as mackerels. By dint of hard woik he managed to oxcavate a lnlo in the rocka end frczsn ground, aud laid away aB tenderly ac conditions would permit the 10 stiff Ohinameu. A few montha after that Charlie wanted to abaudon hia j ;b, and oluce he bad bean in Salisbury's employ many years, Mr. 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 ghosta, and I cannot stand that eort of work longer." When on opportunity presents itself the reader should get on the mellow aide of tho great horseman, and tie will bo found not half ao cold and distant aa he appears to be en tirsl acquaintance. 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 fortunate owuer. Ned ia stabled out at Agricultural park now. H i has a stall just liko the reat of tho llyera aud crackerjaoks out AW, the famtmi trolling ring. 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 nae, has pneumatic tireß and weighs juat 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. Soma Local M..n Trelotne; for the Pasa- The Crown City Cycle club givea a rr.ee meet on New Year'a day at Pasa dena and aome good nrir.es have been hung up. Some of the membere of the Training league of thie city are working every day at Athletic paik iv prepara tion for this event and expect to pull down come of the best prizes. A '05 wheel is the best prize in the class B event nnd there are at least half a dozen class B men in this city who expect to bring back that wheel. There ara two events in tbe class A races, cpeu to all comers. Pasadena has a fairly good tract-, which ia being greatly improved for this event. 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 Jib, 2:04, at Agricultural park some time after the holdidays. This would bo a groe.t race though Burkes record for a mile ia several second a siower than thai of tho horee. Oacar Oseu, the Sau Joee champion, is in the city. Tha Loa Angeles Wheelmen have adopted n new constitution, but the changes from the termor constitution are not material except that the oliicora hold office for ouo year instead ol cix montha, and the names of new members must be accompanied with initiation fees before they can bo ncted upon.

Ac a parliamentary prorogation ia re garded ac the inexorable prelude of dis solution, King Humbert has summoned the various leaders to confer with him on the situation. The Ttiforma, Signor Critpi'a organ, ap proves the demand of the opposition tbat an appeal be made to the country.

FOOT HA 1.1. ROWDYISM. Captain Hinkey Kionerated of Oharares Against llfin. 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 Yalo team.

"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 than it had ever been 0... and silent at Ci»t, the itinilliingSS in., waited on her footsteps soon soothed ay..: her shyness, and she unfolded like a Jun rosebud. Xo queen was ever moro loyall. served, and it must be confessed that 1 1 repaid service with baby gratitude, .-■!. walked into Fred's writing desk, thrc. his paper.-; all about the room and uiloiv him. Sho set down her foot in the mid dle of Arthur's best kite and crowed loud ly to make him look up. Sim tool; n crayon and flashed Streaks of black light ni ug in Rodcric's just completed prize drawing and cooed lovingly in ids ear. She pulled botli wheels off Basil's tin wheelbarrow, and threw his soft hall into tho coffeepot nnd was so sweet and cur. nlng that tbey laughed at her mischief ns If it was the nicest thing in the world lo bo done and loved her with all their hearts. To these boys who hud never known a sister, this tiny girl'a nature was a revelation. They never thought of Standing up for their rights aguinst hor encroachmoots. They buttled With each other famously and exacted tho very ut most farthing, but sho walked over all their necks and was not nfntld. Old Martha softened to hot tnarreloasly, and those meddlesome lingers worked restless ly in among Martha's cups and collars BS London fingers had never dared to do. 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 out her name?" "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.
