Ibe information was at once telegraphed to the Governor, and his reply awaited.

The commissioners had arranged for a meeting after dinner, but when after dinner came no telegram and no meeting. It was deferred until 9 o'clock. At 9 o'clock the commissioneis met once more, and not having received any reply from Gov. Waterman, adjourned. The adjournment was until Monday morning.

WEEK'S RACING AT AC TVRAh PAHI. A Two-mile Dash Won ty T7Hd Oats-Bllkwood Winn- t-Itlog David Capture Pm- Xtie Polo' Ponies, The crowd at Agricultural Fa) yes terday, the last day of the races, was not so good as upon the previous days. There were no outside attractions to draw, nothing, in fact, but plain racing, yet the racing card was a good one, of the events being an old California 2- inile race, the only one run this year.

The first event was amixea pacing ana trotting race, in which there were four starters, J. B. Kennedy's b.g. Danger, N. A.

Covarrnbias's blk. g. Nigger Baby, I'. Johnson's r.g. Phil Frieler, pacer, and J.

Willett's blk.s. Silkwood, pacer. In the betting before the start In the first heat Silkwood was favorite at to $18 for Danger and 13 for the field. A field horse took the beat. Phil Frieler got off well up in front, and as they swung into the turn he got a lead of four lengths, paced the mile without a skip, and got home three lengths ahead of Silkwood.

Danger and Silkwood went together for the entire mile, Silkwood getting second place by a neck. Danger third. Nigger Baby wasn't in it, trotting four lengths behind the crowd. Time, 2:26. Very queerlv, after the heat, Danger became favorite, selling at $20, Silkwood bringing $18, and the field $5.

Frieler again went away in the lead in the second heat, but this time Silkwood hung on to him pretty -close, Danger in third place two lengths behind them. Frieler held the lead until well into the straight, wben he tired and went off his feet. Silkwood passed him and won easily, Danger getting in for second Frieler third. Nigger Baby was in tourth place. Time, 2:251.

There was little betting against Silkwood after this heat, and it seemed a foregone conclusion with: him, took the lead at the start, with Danger at his wheel. Phil Frieler. broke at the start, and was not in it any more. Silkwood made the circuit without a skip. Danger took halt a dozen runs in the mile, and finished second, half a length behind Silkwood.

Phil Frieler got third and Nigger Baby fourth. Time, 2:26. r-: The fourth heat was simply a repetition of the tbirdi Silkwood led all the way, with Danger at his wheel, and in an exciting finish won by a neck, Nigger Baby third- The first running event of the day was a special tbree-qaarter-mile dash for 2-year-olds, in which therewere three starters, L. J. Rose's ch; f.

Rose's Filly, 90; Harry? Rose's b.f. Rose Mead, 100, and S. J. Felton's b.h. King David, 100.

In the pool-boxes Rose Mead sold for $20 to $8 for the other two. At the send-off King David had a length the best of it, Rose Mead and the filly together. They run in these positions to the turn, when the tilly went back, and Rose Mead began to lap the leader. Tbey entered the straight with Rose Mead at King David's 1 flank, and David got the whip. Rose Mead was worked for all she was worth; but in a hot finish King David, beatTEef 0irt; by a neck.

Time, The day's and the week's i racing ended with a two-mile dash. In which W. L. Appleby's b.h. Wild Oats.

105; P. C. Donalicu's ch-g. If alcho and Warring's b.g. Telephone, 117, started.

In the pools Wild Oats sold for $20 to $12 for the field. It was a good race. Telephone jumped away in front, with Wild Oats at his flank, and Naioho B. two lengths behind. Telephone set the pace lor tne nrii tnree-qnaners, ana then Wild Oats passed to the front, followed by Telephone quit on the first turn of the second mile, and left the race toi-Wild Oats and Naioho B.

Wild Oats held the lead to the finish. Naicho B. was severely punished in the run home, but he couldn't reach the leader. Wild Oats finished easy two lengths In front. Time, 3:88.

The races have not been, a financial point of view, as successful as those of former years. The association went to a heavy expense in arranging for the meeting. Toe Btornv or last week cost them quite a sum. The attendance has been good all week, and the gate receipts have been almost to last year. There is talk now of a four-day a' running meeting to begin December 25th, but as yet there is nothing formulated in the plan.

A half-mile dash for the polo' ponies was one of the day's events not on the card. Santa Clara won, irith- Grey-back second. Time, 59. Mis Irene Lamb invites ner patrons to Inspect her stock of fall and winter millinery; also art materials and fancy yarns. 124 and 126 W.

Waterman' Tele. grama. i "When the Insane Asylum sioners moved their headquarters from Ban Bernardino to Loa Angelea, it was presumed that the agony waa over. They met and adjourned, the force of habit from San Ber-doon being too strong for the members.

1 esterday morning they met again, pursuant to adjournment, and adjournments were the order of the day. To say that there waa a circus ail day may not be gratifying to the amour propre of the commissioners, but it is strictly within the limits of truth. It is also a fact that the spectacle of the uneasy and procrastinating commission attracted much attention in and around the Nadeau Hotel, where they met, and the body made an extraordinary exhibition of itself. When the commissioners went to bed Friday night they had taken legal advice in regard to the reports of their removal by the Governor, and. the appointment of a new board, and announced themselves as satisfied with the impregnability of their position, asserting that they could not be dislodged from it.

It was the idea of some of the members that they would meet in the morning and tab) definite and final action at once ou a basis which contained certain to be done. In the first place, it was proposed to take up the line of sites already selected in the order in which they were selected and vetoed by Gov. Waterman. The first one being the Cooley site in San Bernardino, that site was to be rerecommended to the Governor, and if His Excellency vetoed it again, the next site was to be offered, and so on. It the avalanche of vetoes continued, and Ventura county was reached, then the commission waa to take an.

active stand in the matter, select the Ventura site and stand by it, though it rained vetoes. The legal advice obtained assured the commissioners that they not the Governorare the commission, and they talked in an exceedingly rabid ana vigorous manner of the insults heaped upon them by the Chief Executive. When the commissioners met yesterday morning, in Mr. Brown's room at the Nadeau Hotel, at 11 o'clock, all were present, Messrs. Brown of San Bernardino, Severance of Los Angeies, Kerr of San Diego, iJ'isber of Santa Barbara, and Grant of Ventura, Mr.

Severance acting as secretary. The meeting was' held with, closed doors, reporters for the newspapers being excluded from the room. The matter of selecting a site, of the attitude of the Governor, of the authority of the com- missioners was discussed for a time, and it looked as if an adjournment would be taken. Mr. Fisher, however, urged the gentlemen to select a site and be done with it.

He said that he was tired of the Ion and tiresome work and wanted to get home. He therefore urged that a vote be taken and one was taken. Judge of the surprise which followed, however. Instead of following thfl partially-formulated plan indicated, the vote for a site stood three for an entirely new site in San Bernardino county, and two for the Montalvo site, in Ventura connty. Messrs.

Brown, Severanoe and Kerr voted for the San Bernardino site, and Messrs. Fisher and Grant for Ventura. The majority of the board having chosen the site in San Bernardino, it appeared upon the records as selected. It is known as the Rhodes tract, and consists of 550 acres of land five miles northeast of San Bernardino, being that far. from any railroad, and near Gov.

Waterman's land. It has a water right, and the State is to be allowed the use of the water power for running machinery about the asylum. The price asked for the tract is $150,000. It is owned by the Kansas City estate and Investment Company of 4 Kansas City, Mo. It is not under cultivation.

The committee thereupon adjourned until 1 o'clock. When the members came down into the hotel lobby, a question was sprung as to whether the commission was the commission. It having been announced that the Governor had appointed a new set of commissioners, the members began to wonder where they stood. Having selected a site which was nearly adjoining Gov. Waterman's property, and backed down completely from their attitude toward the thought then struck them what a ridiculous attitude it would place them in, if the Governor had appointed a new board, and their efforts at conciliation had come to naught, after all.

Mr. Grant and Mr. Fisher rather enjoyed the dilemma into which their three co-members had thrown but, on general principles, felt Very much disgusted. Both expressed themselves as perfectly willing to stand on the action as taken, even though they were in the minority. They regarded the action as a complete backdown of the commissioners, and an admission that the Governor is the commission and not the commissioners: that he has been right and they have been wrong.

They had placed, themselves on record, however, and would stand by it. So anxious did the majority become about their status that a telegram was at once sent to Gov. Waterman asking him about it. Then the commissioners went to lunch. After lunch there was a series of meetings and adjournments all the afternoon.

It was expected that the answer from the Governor would come soon, but that hope vanished alter a while. The commissioners would go up stairs and meet for a time, then adjourn and come down again, and so it went until late in the evening. The members would not talk, particularly the majority who had voted for the site next to the Governor's land. They turned a deaf ear to the questions of reporters, saying that the whole matter would be given to the press when it was definitely settled. There was even some talk of a reconsideration, but it failed to materialize.

At 5 o'clock an answer was received from the Governor, but its contents were not given out. It was announced, however, that another meeting would be held after dinner. All sorts of rumors flew about, some that he had sat down hard upon the commissioners, and others that he had recognized them after hearing of the selection of the Site, and bounced the new board said to have been appointed. In the midst of it all the members walked about disconsolately, "cussing" the Governor under their breath, and wishing themselves out of the vexatious muddle which has been created. It was learned that the telegram from the Governor was son-committal WINTER are Arriving Daily.

He has guaranteed five inches of hot waterfor any site selected in the vicinity, and that goes with the 60 inches right with the tract. The land is not capable of raising any but grain crops without irrigation, and the commissioners individually believe that there are other tracts which have more advantages than the tract selected, it was learned last night that the Santa Fe Railroad has guaran teed to ran a branch road to the asylum on the Rhodes tract, in case tne sue is approved by the Governor.

In conversation with the commis sioners last night it was learned that they believe the Governor has virtually recognized them as the commissioners de jure in the telegram that he sent to them late in tne afternoon. Their telegram announced to him that they had selected the Rhodes tract subject to bis approval. It was an oral notification. While the text of bis reply was not given to the press, it was learned authoritatively that in addi tion to asking for the price and details of the offer, the Governor intimated that if it was acceptable to h'm he would approve It is upon thU intimation that the board bases its belief that the Governor still cherishes them as his first born. There are at least three of the com missioners who, if they had been un trammeled in the selection by the Gov ernor, would have chosen a different site from the Rhodes tract.

The selection was a compromise, as nearly all the commissioners expressed it at various times yesterday and last night. the board at last believing that the governor was the sixth and most pow erf ul member of the commission.

The ladies promise that it will be more beautiful even than it was last week. Many persons have asked about the date set for the repetition of the tableaus, which were given so successfully on Wednesday evening, and the ladies have arranged to give them tomorrow evening. There is still another thing that will add almost double interest to the exhibition.

Beginning with tomorrow, the attendants in the booths will appear in fancy costumes worn in the countries represented by the booths in the gallery.
