Co. ((a corporation). Capital, $3,000,
-000. O. H. 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.

WITH GRIFFIN
THE JOCKEY
Taken by Jimmy Shields
From the Catholic
Protectory
HE IS NOW WORTH $50,000
Nerves of Steel and a Brain That Never
Gets Heated Account for His
Great Success cs a
Jockey
This is the story of a pale, slender
boy, who live years ago knelt Dy bis bed
side eatdi night and said his prayers. 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.—
