RACING MATTERSWhat a Correspondent Hat to

Say at Loa Anaelri.The Spirit of ihe Time*, the best

sporting paper in America, has a gjodcorrespondent in Los Angeles, and thefollowingis one of his letters from

thiscity:"The entries, which dosed August

Ist for the fall races of the Sixth Dis-trict Fair Association are far ahead ofanything we ever dreamed of. Secre-tary De Camp deserves great creditand the thanks of the entire commu-nity for the untiring will and energyhe has displayed in getting togethersuch an array of California stars forthe Fair, which bids fair to eclipseany ever held in the State. Indeed, afew entries from the Santa Anita sta-ble is all that is required to make itthe moet imposing list of entries everseen this side of the Rocky mount-ains. Our people are full of enter-prise and "go-aheadism" and are be-ginning to appreciate our equinemends and place them in their propersphere. For a while the excitementover real estate cast a gloom overevery other branch of industry; butthe love of the "sport of kings" is be-ginningto peep out from behind thereal estate craze, like the sun from be-hind a golden-rimmed cloud, and toshed its rays of warmth over this"land of flowers" and to penetratethe inmost depths of the public heart.

These Californians never do thingsby halves. If it is real estate theygo in for, they get it, and when itcomes Fair week, every mother's souwill be found on the beautiful groundsthat nature has done so much for, andthat man is constantly trying to im-prove upon. The grounds chosen forthis great and laudable enterprisecould not have been improved uponin the State; just outside of the city,easy of access, as level as a table,plenty of water, and everything elsethat goes to make a pleasant resort.The directors have at last awakenedto appreciate the prize "the gods havegiven them," and have set to workwith a will to improve and make ourpeople proud of the park.

New stables are being built, the oldones thoroughly renovated and white-washed : the grand stand is being en-larged; the track is being widenedand thrown up on the turns, fencesrepaired and whitewashed. In fact,by the time the saddling bell calls thegiants forth to do battle for the open-ing race October 10th, there will havebeen such a magical change as wouldsuggest a visit from Aladdin and hislamp. And when the dear publicfinds that never more will the manwith one pea and three shells; thegrating voice uf the man and hiswheel of fortune of many colors, anddivers other devices of the vagabondto rob th m of their hard-earnedmoney, will not be there; that nothingexcept legitimate pool selling andbook-making will be allowed on thegrounds, until they see for themselvesthat all of the rowdy element havevanished, willthey believe that sucha change has taken place.

Our people are fond of amusement.For instance, Major Wyatt, of theGrand Opera House, announces thecoming of an unknown troupe, andstraighway the ticket office is besieged?days before-hand to secure seats. And"why is this? Simply because theyknow that Major Wyatt will havenothing that is not first-class, and thatthey will not be insulted with anydrunken rowdyism, and that everycare is taken to secure the comfort oftiie gentler sex.

President J. C. Newton, Senator L.?J. Rose, N. A. Covarrubias PresidentL. A. J. C, Johnny Griffin, lessee ofthe I'ark, and E. A. DeCamp, Secre-tary Jockey Club and Fair Association,are working like beavers, and withsuch brains and energy,with power andcapital to back it, the coming fair isbound to be a success.

Mr. N. A. Covarrubias is erecting alarge stable at the track, which willbe fitted up with all the modern im-provements for the comfort of hishorses, and will be adorned with sev-eral dozen of Currier & Ives' picturesof the heroes of the turf.

Mr. Covarrubias is a fast friend ofThe Spirit, and he, like a hundredmore of our enterprising citizens, hasadopted the motto: "The Spirit of theTimes shall teach me speed." Hun-dreds claim they onlyexisted beforeThe Spirit of the Times came amongthem. Now they live, as the wirjsonly bring the echo of the distant warthat is raging on the turf over the oth-er side of the Rockies. But The Spiriteach week comes to us full of news ofthe hard-fought battles so hotly con-tested from "eend to eeud," and howthe hopes of some Eastern Prince hasbeen blasted by "bucking" against ourHeat-footed representatives. Yours,

The Rover.

A SUICIDE.

A Demented French mini TakesPoisan ;n nd Dies.

Yesterday forenoon a Frenchmanwas found lying in the river bottom,between Aliso and First streets. Hewas apparently suffering great pain.The city prison was notified by tele-phone and officer McKaeg secured anexpress wagon and proceeded to re-move the sufferer to the city prison.When the wagon reached the prisonthe man was found to be dead andthe body was removed to the morgue.In his coat pocket was found a notewritten in French, which was trans-lated as follows:

"Iam satisfied to die as Ido. lamhappy in the moment Iexpect death.Make" no trouble to my poor wife.Mr. Otto Weyse, 1 wait for you in theother world in order to settle our ac-count. You are the cause of mydeath."

It was supposed that he committedsuicide, which theory proved correctfrom the result of the inquest held lastevening.

James P. Gardner was the first wit-ness called, who testified as follows: Iam a cooper by occupation, as wasalso the deceased, Charles Jourdan,whom I knew very well. He is mar-ried and was a native of France.About thirteen months ago he wasarrested for drunkenness, but provedto be insane. He was committed to

the Stockton Insane Asylum,aud re-mained there until six weeks ago,wheu bo w as released.

O. ti. Weyse was next sworn. Iknew the deceased. Have knownhim for six years. He was a goodmechanic and used to bo in my em-ploy. He became demented and wassent to ati insane asylum. When hereturned to this cityIoffered to payhis fare to France if lie would go backto his mother.. Iwas afraid that hewould go insane again. He said he'would not go home because he Couldnot make wages enough.

He said he was going back to livewith his wife, and I told him if hedid he would have to leave my em-

ploy. He went back and I dischargedhim because I knew ho would go insane if he went back to live with her.

Francisco Chavez next testified: 1live at the old Chavez place, this sideof the Los Felis ranch. This morningabout 10 o'clock I found a man lyingon the river bottom. I went to himand asked him if he was drunk. Hereplied "No." Iasked him what wasthe matter, and he replied "Mywife."He was moaning terribly.

Dr. I. E. Cohn was next sworn. Imade a poet mortem examination onthe body of Charles Jourdan. Foundthat deceased was five feet eight andone-half inches in height, black beard,hair and moustache, and showed noactual signs of violence. Internal ex-amination showed the viscera of thebody in a healthy condition, except-ingthe liver, which was enlarged.

The stomach contained fluid, pre-sumably poison.

The juryreturned a verdict to theeffect that deceased came to his deathfrom the effects of poison supposed tohave been administered by himselfwhile laboring under mental difficul-ties.

LIVER REGULATOR»\u2666\u2666???>\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666\u2666

For allDiseases of the

liver, Sidneys, Stomach and Spleen.This purely vegetable pre-

paration, now so celebrated as aFamily Medicine, originated inthe South in 1838. It acts

Sently on the Bowels andLldneys and corrects the

action ofthe Liver,and is,there-fore, the best preparatorymedicine, whatever the sick-ness may prove to be. Inallcommon diseases it will, un-assisted by any other medi-cine, effect a speedy cure.

The Regulator is safe to administer inanycondition ofthe system, and under no circum-tanoes can it do harm. It will invigorate

.ike a glass ofwine, but is no intoxicating bever-age to lead to intemperance; will promote di-gestion, dissipate headache, and gener-ally tone up the system. The dose is small,not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted-

Noloss of time, no inter-ruption or stoppage ofbusiness while taking theRegulator. .

Children complaining ofColic, Headache, or SickStomach, a teaspoonful ormore willgive relief.

If taken occasionally by pa-tients exposed to MALARIA,willexpel the poison and protectthemfrom attack.A PHYSICIAN'S OPINION.

I have been practicing medicine for twenty years,and have never been able to put up avegetablecompound that would, like Simmons Liver Regulator, promptly and effectively move the Liver tcaction, and at the same timeaid (instead of weak-ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the.?/sum.
