Taylor_knows how tomake it pleasant for -people who visit the Park these fine evenings. He is very patient and kind in answering the thousand and one questions about the grounds and being fired at him by inquisitive people, and he is never too tired ortoo busy to show the curious the fine horses with which the stables are occupied. Everybody around here hopes that Mr. Taylor will get away with the lion’s share of the purses. The ladies will go their last cent on any racer that he drives. The gentlemen who have entered the footraces to take place on the third day of the Fair. are putting theniselves in splendid condition forthe contest. Several of them can be seen on Glenbrook course daily, while others have tracks of theirown. Itis expected that in both the mile running and the mile walking races, the pedestrians will be closely matched, and considerable money is being put up on the result. One thing is pretty certain, and that is that the contestants are about as~ fast travelers as can be ‘found in the district. o_—e Proposed Mail Change. The Marysville Appeal says: Postmaster Hapgood has received a communication from the second, Assistant Postmaster-Genereral asking for a schedule of the service between this city and Newberts, a small postoftice half way between Marysville and Smartsville,, and stating that at the next letfing of the contract the service will reduce to once a week. It is inferred from this that the Department intend to discontinue the direct mail route between this city and Smartsville and Nevada City, and establish a route from Wheatland via Spenceville and Smartsville to Nevada City. Whether or not this change has been brought about by influence in the interest of the stage line now running on that route,. or from other interests, is not now known. Che change will delay mail matter going up about twelve hours to Smartsville and probably much longer to’ points above Smartsville. Letters sent from here will goto Wheatland on the morning train and lay over there till the evening train from San Francisco arrives, whenthey will be taken by stage to Smartsville, arriving at the latter point about 9 Pp. M. Whether or not the mails for points above Smartsville will lie over night in'that burg will not be known until the schedule of the new routeis made public by the Postoffice Department. > e+ School Apportionment. The County Superintendent of Schools has, made the following apportionment of State funds: Allison Ranch, North San Juan, North Bloomfield and Union Hill, $160.40 each. Grass Valley, $1,684.20.

Returning thanks to the department for the kindly support given me in the discharge of gny duties, and bespeaking the same for my successor, I am Very Respectfully, L. M, SuKEFoRTH, Chief Engineer.

It costs so little to buy it considering tne good it does, and its benefits stretch out into her future life. “Poor girl! _je23-5w « e bt Items From the Tidings. . Thos. Barry, while working in the North Star mine, had his left arm very severely bruised from the elbow to the wrist. A tub filled with dirt fell a distance of, 300 feet, striking Mr. Barry on the arm. At first it was thought that the bone was broken, but. the injury amounted to only a severe bruise. Tough lad that. Thos. Phelen, Jr., was thrown from a horse in, the vicinity of Shady Creek, near Cherokee, and received a very severe fracture of the left thigh. : At9o’clock Tuesday night, in the clothing stdre_of D. Goodstein & Co., an employee discovered that quite alittle blaze was going on among some of the woodwork and in apile of goods up stairs. It caught from a lamp that had fallen or had exploded. The fire was put, as Was Supposed, without giving an alarm. A little later Henry Johnston, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, went to the store, and opening ft found the fire at work again in the upstairs and that the blaze was making nice progress. The party went to work, without sounding an alarm, and with facilities found in the store soon had the fire completely put out. The loss is a small one as compared with the value of the stock carried in the store. Between $800 and $1000 will pay. all damages and there is insurance. Fell Through a Bridge. Wednesday morning L. L. Gaffney drove the Sierra. City stage into Downieville, and baving aboard a woman who was consigned to the Hospital, half a mile from town, handed the reins to Sam Lusk, the regular driver on this-end of the line, atid the latter took the passenger to her destination. Mr. Lusk found it impossible toturn around right .at the Hospital, sd started up a lumber road towards a wider clearing. On this road, which crosses the North Fork of the North Yuba river, was a wooden bridge about a hundred feet long, and in constant use for the passage of heavily loaded wagons. As he drove upun the bridge it gave away with a crash, precipitating the four horses, the coach and the driver to the dry bed of the stream, fifteen feet below, and piling them up in a heap. Strange to say, no damage was done beyond the springing of the rear axle to the stage. . It was a miraculous escape for driver, horses and vehicle. _>--— Fair, Week Theatricals.

It is so strange that the perversity of human nature crops out on many public oecasions and precludes all possibility of success in public enterterprises.”” There is no such perversity in this climate. Leastwise if there is it does not crop out with sufficient vigor to: make its bad effects felt on the Fair of the 17th District . Aassociation.

Everybody around here hopes that Mr. Taylor will get away with the lion’s share of the purses. The ladies will go their last cent on any racer that he drives. The gentlemen who have entered the footraces to take place on the third day of the Fair. are putting theniselves in splendid condition forthe contest. Several of them can be seen on Glenbrook course daily, while others have tracks of theirown. Itis expected that in both the mile running and the mile walking races, the pedestrians will be closely matched, and considerable money is being put up on the result. One thing is pretty certain, and that is that the contestants are about as~ fast travelers as can be ‘found in the district. o_—e Proposed Mail Change. The Marysville Appeal says: Postmaster Hapgood has received a communication from the second, Assistant Postmaster-Genereral asking for a schedule of the service between this city and Newberts, a small postoftice half way between Marysville and Smartsville,, and stating that at the next letfing of the contract the service will reduce to once a week. It is inferred from this that the Department intend to discontinue the direct mail route between this city and Smartsville and Nevada City, and establish a route from Wheatland via Spenceville and Smartsville to Nevada City. Whether or not this change has been brought about by influence in the interest of the stage line now running on that route,. or from other interests, is not now known. Che change will delay mail matter going up about twelve hours to Smartsville and probably much longer to’ points above Smartsville. Letters sent from here will goto Wheatland on the morning train and lay over there till the evening train from San Francisco arrives, whenthey will be taken by stage to Smartsville, arriving at the latter point about 9 Pp. M. Whether or not the mails for points above Smartsville will lie over night in'that burg will not be known until the schedule of the new routeis made public by the Postoffice Department. > e+ School Apportionment.

Barry, while working in the North Star mine, had his left arm very severely bruised from the elbow to the wrist. A tub filled with dirt fell a distance of, 300 feet, striking Mr. Barry on the arm. At first it was thought that the bone was broken, but. the injury amounted to only a severe bruise. Tough lad that. Thos. Phelen, Jr., was thrown from a horse in, the vicinity of Shady Creek, near Cherokee, and received a very severe fracture of the left thigh. : At9o’clock Tuesday night, in the clothing stdre_of D. Goodstein & Co., an employee discovered that quite alittle blaze was going on among some of the woodwork and in apile of goods up stairs. It caught from a lamp that had fallen or had exploded. The fire was put, as Was Supposed, without giving an alarm. A little later Henry Johnston, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, went to the store, and opening ft found the fire at work again in the upstairs and that the blaze was making nice progress. The party went to work, without sounding an alarm, and with facilities found in the store soon had the fire completely put out. The loss is a small one as compared with the value of the stock carried in the store. Between $800 and $1000 will pay. all damages and there is insurance. Fell Through a Bridge. Wednesday morning L. L. Gaffney drove the Sierra. City stage into Downieville, and baving aboard a woman who was consigned to the Hospital, half a mile from town, handed the reins to Sam Lusk, the regular driver on this-end of the line, atid the latter took the passenger to her destination. Mr. Lusk found it impossible toturn around right .at the Hospital, sd started up a lumber road towards a wider clearing. On this road, which crosses the North Fork of the North Yuba river, was a wooden bridge about a hundred feet long, and in constant use for the passage of heavily loaded wagons. As he drove upun the bridge it gave away with a crash, precipitating the four horses, the coach and the driver to the dry bed of the stream, fifteen feet below, and piling them up in a heap. Strange to say, no damage was done beyond the springing of the rear axle to the stage. . It was a miraculous escape for driver, horses and vehicle. _>--— Fair, Week Theatricals.
