Phillips, president; C. 11. PhvHips.jh, vice-president; C. W. Gate-, secretary and treasurer. The well Known Chino ranch comprises 41.000 acres of land, unsurpassed m 'fertil ity, perfect, in location, and offers In ducements to small farmers not to be foiiixl elsewhere in California. It is con tii;dous io tbe famous colonies of Ontario j»i)d Pomona. The city of Los Angeles is 30 miles to the westward and is connected with Chino by the Southern Pacific or Sunset route. As an illustration of what can be a< - Qomplisbe.l we beg you to read a state ment made by Mr.Day,a prominent farm er. Forty acres gave Mr. Day $2000 last yeai: CHINO. San Bernardino County, Cal., March 2, 1895. —It affords me pleasure to give you my experience as a farmer on the Chino ranch. 1 arrived in Chino April 12, 1891, but did not do much that year, it being too late to get into tbo beet business. In 1892, however, I made mv tirst trial, putting in 13 acres.from which I realized altogether $1000. This pleased ni* so that, next year, 1893, 1 put in 25 acres. 1 was not very nappy in the selec tion of my land, as lo acres of this was fruit land, which gave but a poor return in beets, though 1 made good wages; bat the otber 19 acres paid me equally as Well as in 1892, and my total returns were over $1600. F.'om 6?i acies I realized $525. Last year was a dry year and we ware not supposed to do so well, yet from 40 acres my returns were $2800, which, after paying all expenses, left me and my two boys $2300 for our labor. The average tonnage was 15' a ' tons to the acre. 1 have never had less than 15 lons to the acre, and some have shown 27 tons par acre. My percentage of sugar has been 14 to 18 per cent. This country is the best place I hnve come ucross yet, either for beet farming or general fanning. This year I bad 8 acres of alfalfa; from this I have fed 4 horses and 4 cows and sold $140 of alfalfa. Tho average tonnage was 1W tons to tne acre for each cutting, und I took off five crops. I find plenty of out siue work to do, and this amply pays me all mv expenses of raising my Diet crop. Myself a,id two boys do neatly all the work; one boy is a little over 7 and the other a little oyer 10 years of age. lam putting in 45 acres of beets for the coming season, and 1 know of no crop that pays so well for tbe work put upon it. Yours very truly. E. M. DAY. State of California, County of San Ber nardino, ss.—E. M.

It is the story of a boy who lias not yet forgotten how to pray, but who bat ac cumulated a lortuno of $50,000 solely thmgh his adaptability to certain con ditions under which he was placed. It is the history ol Henry Grifiin, the pre mier lightweight jockey of the American turf—a youth wiiose thin bands and cool brain have time and again shaped tho vast money currents in that maddest of all plunging bourses, tbe race track betting ring. Nino out of every ten race track patrons know Griffin. Those who do know him will stake tbeir last dollar on his coolness and judgment in a crisis. Mnny times they have seen him with his peaked white faco and bony hands, hemmed in with a wall of thundering horses, and just as often have they seen him with scarcely tbe shake of a bridle rein or the rattle of a rowel como s> Griffin, the Jockey through, nose, nock and shoulders to tho front. While the dense thousands have been jumping and hopping up and down in the agony of nervous excitement, it is doubtful if the jockey's heart throbbed a jot faster as he held up his hand for permission to dismount; and yet five years ago Griffin's thoughts, hopes and fears were those of a chila. It is a passing strange thing that adulration has not spoiled him. Ask him bis opinion of a horse, and he will answer you quietly and respectfully. This yery quiet would appear unhealthy to most men, were it not for the fact that ho loves to play craps with the other jockeys occasionally. Harry Griffin was born in Xew York eighteen years ago. He is the eldest ol four children. He has a brother who is two years his junior, and two yonng sis ters. Tbe Grirtins wore poor people, but sturdy, honest aud respectable. While Henry was yet too young to feel grief bis father died. Tho condition was a hard one, bnt Mrs. Griffin labored nobly to look after ber little (lock. At this early arm Henry became a sort of guardian of the other children, and took care of them during their mother's absence, Even here his good judgment was manifest, for with a string in liifc moiitii for a bridle, he showed himself to be the most tracta ble horse ever driven by a inercil»ss little girl. At oilier times an old broom would serve him as a fiery steed, and many is the time that tho two little Qriffln boys went romping and champing up and down the street astride their untamed household utensils, to the great admira tion ol the other children. Everybody is happy in his days of broomstick steeds una tin trumpets, and the Qriffln chil dren were not exceptions. But, just us things bad settled into a groove of con tentment and pcac, Mrs. Qriffln took sick ami died. j Of course the neighbors came in and cried and sympathized, and wondered what would become of the tour mother less littlo bairns that clustered in mute and soirowful speculation about theeofitn. It was a blow tbat the children could not. fully understand. They only knew that they were alone, and when the funeral was over and they came hack to tho lonely little rooms, the full measure of their loneliness fell upon them. A neighbor dropped in and remained with tbem during the nights, and when, in a few days, a good priest- came and told tnem that, be had found thorn a home, they gathered up their little effects and followed him without a word. td|So it came about .that Henry Oriffin anil his brother found a refuge in the Catholic protectory, that quaint old yellow build ing that stands on the hill, over beyond Ono Hundred aud Tenth street. And whatever may come to pass, llenry Oriffin will never forget the wide, shaded yarn, the quiet hours of study, '.be clang ing vesper bells, tbe still dormitory and the Highly prayers. In a certain sense the outer world be came a dream to him. There was the barrier of the protectory walls, which he never dreamed of crossing. He was a good boy and was treated well. He join ed in aii the boyish sports wiih great zest, and in spite'of his slcndci physique more than managed to hold his own with his companions. Many of those com panions are still i" tho protectory, and they read of Honry Griffin's doings as one reads a fairy story. They aro still batting the ball about the play ground and wrestling und studying and saying their prayers, us good boys should. All the boys ut the Catholic protectory have good times. Everybody remembers how the littlo uniformed chaps occasion ally go up to the polo grounds to watch too Ginnts play ball, llenry Gritfin was among them in 1889, but nobody looking at the quiet, well behaved squad, sitting in the grand stand, would have dreamed that it contained tho embryo of America's greatest lightweight jockey. By the same token it may havo contained the future S resident of tbo I'nited States. That, owever, is for the future to decide. Young Griffin was quick in his studies and sharp in competition of any kind. There was nothing mean or dishonest about him. At the same time there was nothing that would indicate unusual ability in any direction. His ambitions were those of boys of his age—to excel in baseball, running, jumping or playing tag. He bad never given the horses a thought and racing was something ut terly beyond his comprehension. Su time passed away until Henry was past twelve years of age, and on several occasions one or more of Hio good fathers had sounded him as In hi* inclinations mid adaptabil ity for the future. Young (iriilin waa willing to listen to advice and willing to tlkf it, but beyond a c herished ambition to support his orphaned sisters he seemed P> huvd no particular trend of thought. It,was at this time of bis life that the great change took place. One day there came inlo tbe playground with father I.eaton a big, red-faced man who wore checked clothes und a pink shirt and who talked hoarsely and expectorated scatter ingly like a street sprinkler. Tbe hoys eyed him askance and kept ou playing. The red-fsced man watched them sharply and talked in low tones to the priest, finally the latter ci.l led young Griflin. '■lonic here, Henry. '' said he, "1 want you to talk to Mr. .Shields. He is look ing for a boy to work in his stable Would you like the position?" The boy hung bacu. bashfully. "I don't know.' said lie. "Do you know anything about horses" asked the red faced man. "\o, sir," was the reply. "Do you thing JMU could learn to ride." "I don't know, sir." "Would you like to learn." "Yes, sir." Then it was settled tbat Henry Gritlin anil bis brother were to go into tlie rac ing stable of James Shields at a salary per month fur less than that which the jockey now earns in one day's riding. He, witb his brother and the red faced man, took his departure from the Protectory the next day. It was mil until evening t hat 1 hey arrived at the stable. Griffin was awed with his surroundings. Two 01 three little negro stable boys eyed tbe slim white-faced Jud contemptuously; others became friendly and proffered advice. Griliin was iriven a horse to feed and eire for. He did it thoroughly, as he does everything. Then he was put up on one of the gentlest homes for an exercise canter around the track. He was decidedly awkward. His lime was pretty Veil occupied with maintaining his equilibrium. One day the red-faced man came down to the stables and announc ed bis intention ol breaking several yearlings. Gnttin was selected to do the work. He went about it without any ex hibition of fear or nervousness. He was lifted into the saddle, only to be pitched out again like a quoit. Time after time, without a word, he came back ugain, cool and collected, and each time he did bet ter than the last. Then it was that the red-faced man made up his mind that the boy would in time make a great jockey. By this time tbe new stable Uov had be come used to the uproar and nervous delirium of tho race tracks. Even at this time he had apparently made up ills mind that he could improve upon somo of the jockeys then riding, ami he was inwardly longing for the opportunity. Much of the little money be was earning was sent to bis sisters, and when he saw boys no older than himself with rolls of bills amounting to hundreds of dollars his ambition suddenly shaped itself into a resolution to follow bis opportunity and become a jockey. Both lie and his brother had been apprenticed to James Shields until they should be 111 years of age. It was in tiie hands of Shields to make or mar tbeir future. In IXHO the Shields stable opened its fall and winter campaign at the famous (iiittenburg track, and here Oriffin had his lirst mount. lie rode well, but did not win.- Nevertheless his work was so promising that be soon became the rertu lar stable jockey. Purse after purse rolled into the coffers of hia employer. Tho jockey was sought lor by other ttibles. A good poiiion of tbe money thus earned went to Snields but Griffin was glad of it. To Shields he owed everything. Sinco those days the history of Oriffin has been familiar toevey frequenter of thc.iaco track and the poo! room. "_eep to yourself and don't talk stable secrets to anybody." This was the first Injunc tion of the red-faced man, and it has been followed to the letter. Times have changed greatly since Crirlin's debut at Outtenburg. Luck has gone hard with thd red-faced man. and lie does not own a stablo now. Griffin gets a salary of 117,500 from David Gideon, and Shields gets part ot it, as tlie jockey is still an apprentice. Griffin's brother is ulso a careful, conscientious jcokey, but some time ago bad the misfortune to break his leg, since which time lie has been laid up. Griffin's latest notable achievement was tho winning of the Futurity on Ite quitai. Last year he won the same race for Mr. Gideon with The Butterflies.— New York Herald.
