The Virginia City Enterprise: Some of our peopte who have keen up in the mountains say ‘‘the woods aré full’ of California girls with cameras. These amateur photographers take a shot at everything they see. No. mountain peak, big jagged rock or vosy nook escapes them. A young Comstocker Bays these artistic young ladies are not content with nature’ as they find her. They také great pride in arranging adjuncts. He says he was largely utilized as an “adjunct;’’ that the girls almost wore him out. Hecame home thinner than when he left here. He says he is always willing to obligea lady, but fad to get out of the mountains, as he was overworked. One day ~ . The Third Day—Incraased Attendance— THE FAIR. Entries Continued. GC OD ATTENDANCR. On Wednesday the attendance «t the races was larger than on the sec ond day of last year’s Fairand yesterday the gate receipts we:re larger than for the corresponding d ay of the meeting of 1887. HOW LADIF:8 BET. The interest that. some of the ladies are beginning to s'now in racing events is marked. Yesterday several of the fair occupants of the grand stafid made bets of from five to twenty-five cents with other ladies ‘on the oute@me of various heats, and three of them are known to have formed a syndicate and actually invested in a ticket in the he had to make up as a bear hunter and climb up the face of an almost vertical cliff, there to hang by his eyebrows at tha edge of some fissure or cavern (supposed to be a bear’s nest) till a dozen young ladies had taken a shot at him with their cameras; another day he was stuck up-alongside of a big boulder and posed as that oldtime robber, “Johnny-behind-the. Rock,” who formerly infested the country up above Truckee and beyond around Summit. Early one morning, when he was expected to make up as a Washoe brave and do some devilish deed, our young man says he “‘lit out’’ mutuals with such success that they cleared up between eight and ten dollars apiece. Ladies base their jua gment of horses on first impressions, atid it is seldom —s The attendance was considerably larger than on Wednesday. The main grandstand was nearly filled with ladies, while the annex had a moderate sprinkling of the favored sex. The first event ofthe afternoon was ahalf mile and repeat run between Ladue’s Grey Guest and Riley’s Sir A COMPARISON. Average Weekly Waves In Manufacturing and Minine. — The average of wages in different kinds of work, as stated in the followThad, $25 entrance, $19 forfeit, $100 added. First heat—The flag fell at the first attempt. One blanket would have coverd them both to the last eighth when Riley’s bay began*to draw slightly to the front. He got about a neek’s load and held it easily to the finish, passing under the wire in 50}¢ seconds. Grey Guest, rode by young Dennison, made a gallant effort to come up on the last 75 yards, but his rider had lost his whip and could get no quicker movement out of him. Pools had been selling before the heat $10 to $3 and $4, with Sir Thad as favorite. After the heat Gray dropped to $2 50. Second heat—This heat demonstrated that the gray from Roseville was no traveler. Sir Thad came in they get fooled. They don’t care anything about the recorcl, pedigree or experience of a horse. They seem to pick their favorites by the lines of beanty and grace.’ They prefer black, shiny coats;, as a rule. A big woman will as a-rule pick out a small, nervous, firey-eyed and quick-moving steed; ‘while-a—wee bit of feminimity gest-tioned and most sleepy looking flyer in the field. Killip, the veterin from Soda Springs—he ceased to be an “adjunct,” pool-dedler down’ at the track, says will pin her faith to the tallest, big-. votes. For Gounty Clerk. The announcement of S. A. Bulfinch, as the regular Republican nominee for the office of County Clerk, appeared in today’s Transcrirt. Mr. Bulfinch was the unanimous choice of the eouvention for the place, and he will on election day poll not only the full strength of his party vote but will dobtless receive many Democratic He is demonstrating his thorough competency for the place by now serving successfully asa Deputy under Clerk Beatty. All who have business at the office will testify to his accommodating disposition and his promptness and reliability. Nizeuge ee Geo. G. Allan’s Fire Company. George G. Allan is the chief engineer of a campletely-equipped and well-trained fire company. roofof his Foundry. caught fire the When the other day the -members-of the company responded tothe alarm without a moment’s loss of time. Every man understood his duty and performed it without working at cross-pur poses with any other man. The 200 feet of hose belonging to the company was in less time than is taken in telling about it conducting a stream of water from the hydrant tothe scene of danger, and the flames were quickly extinguished. thet when a bunch of five horses. are going to be started in a race, he had rather back the judgment (or whim) . of some bright lady who never saw Or heard of one of them: before than to invest on the strength of a “‘tip”’ from the oldest turfman in fifteen covnties Of course this refers to a single venture in the box. When it comes tu making a ‘‘book’’ on a race, he 8.2y8 it would never do to buy as the lady said. She would get rather by the fluctuations in prices, and finally her poor little head would swim and her eyes fill with tears as she tried to keep track of the complications that would arise. According to Mr. Killip, the record shows that a woman gucsses right three times out of five as to the winner in a trotting heat where seven unknown horses start, while if a man hits the nail on the head once in seven times under the same circumstances he gets the big-head right away cmd thinks he missed his vocation when he adopted any business other than ‘following the races.” THE TRACK. on a canter a length ahead of him, passing under the wire in 51 Grey Guest was clearly doing his best, but spur and whip could not get out of him what he did not contain. Tie se¢ond race of the day was a special trot, mile heats, best three in tive, for a purse of $400. Nellie S., Sidney J-and Fred were the” starters. First heat—Nellie drew the pole, Fred being on the outside. Geo. F. Jacobs’ two-year-old Reyolution colt, . Sidney J., won the heat and race in 2:52, distancing the two others. Cc. ‘F. Taylor, trainer of the winner, was its driver. The third attraction of the afternoon was a three in five pace for a purse of $120 without entrance. The starters were Litt'e Doc who had the pole, Wing Wing in second. place and Soltaire on tho outside. First heat—They got off on the third attempt, Soltaire frequently breaking badly, but recovering promptly. Near the half Wing Wing went high into the air and was so long coming down that Soltaire took second place. Little Doc, who had not made a skip and maintained the lead from the first eighth, came first under the wire in 2:41, Soltaire but a head behind. Wing Wing a little more than saved tier distance. Second heat—Doc won handily on 2:3714, Soltaire a nose behind and Wing Wing a bad third.

There was much whisye ring Wednesday afternoon as tothesy cial trotting race, and tha; subst ice of that whispering was that. the public had been made the victims of a: trick. The judges felt satisfied there 1 vas something ‘“‘rotten in Denmark, ” but if there was any dorable-dealim 3 going on it was hard for them to gt ‘t positive proof then. T’aey could see, with everybody else , that there Ww ere numerous intentioy yal fouls, and the time made was sv ygestive. Hopi ‘ng that they might ge-t some light on t he matter, a decisi-»n was withheld till yesterday.

With the sunset of Wednesday, the 5th of September, the Isrealites all over the world will celebrate the eve of their New Year’s day of the year 5649. All Hebrews keep holy that day, which is called Rosh Hashanah While the advanced synagogues keep only that one day, the orthodox synagogues observe two days—Thursday and Friday. Saturday, the 8th will be an important Sabbath, and is called the “Sabbath of Repentance.’”’ On the following day, Sunday, the stricter Isrealites keep the fast of Gedaliah from sunrise to sunset. Friday evening, the 14th, will be the eve of the great Day of Attonement, called Yom Hakippurim. The day is strictly observed with fasting from sunset until Saturday’s sunset.

A similar warrant of arrest is out for C.~ W. Worthington, another spy, who assisted Sternes in the kidnaping. Worthington has so far kept ont of the officer’s way.
