Jack RICHELIEU DOwNED REAR GUARD IN A VERY ExcIT- ING DRIVE. What has become of all of San Fran- cisco's high-rollers at the racetrack? Have they given the game up in disgust ? Glancing around among the throng that crowded the betting-ring at the track yes- terday it was noticeable that all, or nearly all, of the big wagers that were recorded were made by Eastern turf followers. They are the life of the game, and when they be- gin to take their departure, along about the first of the month, it will be like a play without the star. As usual Riley Grannan’s stand was the | center of attraction, a large erowd with ad- miring eyes surrounding it from- the open- ing of the betting. And, by the way, it was one of the most expensive days the young plunger has experienced since he has been booking at the meeting. After going astray on the first two runs he got over-generous in the third run, the spring stakes for two-year-olds. with but three starters, and laid $55 to $100 a place against imp. Santa Bella. Abe Levy came along to a little of it, and it through a little jollying in him betting | Grannan $5000 against $5500 the filly would be placed. Pittsburg Phil, always on the ve for something like that, also gave good bet. The crackerjack Crescendo was an odds on favorite, so Riley had the Leda filly running for him. Crescendo won in a walk, running the five furlongs in 1:011 with 123 pounds up, stamping him as the best two-year-old we have seen in many a long day. The Leda filly stumbled in the stretch below the eighth pole, snapped her leg at the ankle and had to be destroyed, the imported English miss, of course, fin- | ishing second. It was a tough ‘‘snap” on Grannan, for the race, I was told, cost him £12,000. The opening race proved disastrous for favorite players, Comrade, a 30 to 1 chance, winning by three parts of a length from Road Runner, a 10 to 1shot. Centurion, another outsider, was third. The red hot favorite, Seraphin, second at the half, fin- hed in the ruck. 1 am fully convinced that had a boy that earns a much smaller salary than Harry Griffin,who rode Captain Rees in the seven- furlong race, going to the post favorite, | put up the ride he did, he would have a good chance to_ride in streetcars for a month or so without reducing to make ht. It was an excellent exhibition of | how it is possible for a horse to be pock- eted with but five horses in the run.

Realization was third. | Some people I have met would rather bet money § footrace, while you meet | others that like to play steeplechases. Both_are very remunerative occupations. Nothing but Montalvo would do yesterday. The big bay opened at 2 to 1, but one or two | other rare good things being sent out from | the paddock, plenty of 3 to 1 could be had against him at }m\l time. Woodford, H i market and Mendocino were the m backed of the other starter Bellringer, who I am told never did an; thing right in his life, led over the first five jumps, with the husky Montalvo at his head. The Lark, a 15 to 1 shot, then took up the running and won with a pound or two in reserve, from April. Woodford, the post favorite, ran third. A good many feund fault with Griffin’s ride on Mary S in the mile-and-a-quarter handicap, but I think his mount was zinning to tire as they entered the tch. 1t was a very even betting affair, ie of Mowitza, the outsider. Claudius, x, Oakland and Mary were all well pported at short figure kland having a slight 11 at post time. The light- weighted Mowitza cut out the running, followed by Mary §, until the stretch was hed, when the lightweight fell back. 35 now_took up the running and reac ed a certain winner, until Chorn shot through on the inside with Oakland, win- ning d by a length. Claudius was a good t Royal Flush is himself again was illustrated in the last race, when he ran the five and a half furlongs in 1:0714 with ease, starting a 4 to 5 favorite.

THURsDAY WILL BE SET APART FOR A PROGRAMME OF SPECIAL STUDIES. tions in arithmetic, grammar and spelling yesterday in the normal school building on Powell street, near Clay. The occasion who aspire to be teachers in the School Department, and wanted to secure high school, grammar, primary or special certificates. Promptly at 9 o’clock the aspirants for pedagogic honors were on hand. and took their seats in the large classroom on the second floor. Those in charge of affairs were Deputy Superintendent Madison Babcock; Miss M. E. Callahen, principal of the Clement Grammar School; Miss N. E. Wood, principal of the Hearst School; James F. Hamilton, principal of the Lin- coln School; Frank Morton, principal of the Boys’ High School. The first study taken up was written arithmetic with ninety credits; next was grammar, eighty credits, and in the after- noon spelling and defining, eighty credits. The “pupils” were given every oppor- tuni as regards time in which to do their work. Mr. Babcock is a firm be- liever in allowing, time in examination work, as he thinks the results are more satisfactory. Each one of the aspirants was also obliged to answer seven general questions in which they gave their names, residence, what grade of certificate they desired, where they were educated, what certifi- cates they at present held, references in regard to teaching and moral character, and finally, what experience in teaching they had had. Seated at one of the desks in the rear of the classroom was a young colored man versity. Cyrus Davis. He wanted a certificate w%:ich would enable him to earn his livin, by teaching. At the other end of the room was the middle-aged ‘‘pupil.” His name is Wal- ter Westington, and he was seeking a g | grammar grade certificate. His experience as a teacher has been a varied one, judging from his written statement. He taught for ten years at the Tavistock public school in England and one year at the Oxford University. He held a first-class certificate from the English educational department and a second class certificate from the Archbishop of Canterbury and York. As a teacher he has had twenty years’ expe- rience. The spelling and defining lessons were the eas of the day.and came as a sort of benedAction after the hard wrestle with arithmgtical problems and grammatical constriictions. The hardest among the words were idiosyncrasy, sulphurous, si- licious and prescience. The studies for primary certificate aspi- rants are composition, geography, theory of education, penmanship, fxis(ory, phys ology, drawing, oral music and oral arith- metic. The examination will last until next Fri- day and an average of three studies a da; will be maintained, tion, geography and the theory of edu- cation will be on the programme. Tuesday teachers who now hold primary certificates and are desirous of getting grammar grade certificates will have a chance to display their ability and right to be advanced. There will be a special examination on Thursday consisting of manual training, French, music and cooking. In one of the lower classrooms of the schol is a kitchen, and this will be used for the cooking les- sons. A general average percentage of 85 is re- quired to pass the examination, but those who fall below flOlpcr cent in arithmetic, grammar and spelling will be dropped out of the race. Deputy Superintendent Babcock says that all the aspirants are energetic and painstaking in their labors. Under the rule adopted of not hurrying the “pupils” they are enabled to do much better work. During the coming week there will be sev- eral additions to the ranks of the aspirants consisting of those who are seeking for spe- cial certificates and those who want the Eresent primary certificates which they old raised to grammar grade. —_——— Handball To-Day.

HE IS A VERY BAD SHOT WALTER HELLIWELL GOES GUN- NING ON THE FALLS OF HALLADALE, NARROW ESCAPE OF THE CAPTAIN. AMUCK ON A BRITISH SHIP. The British ship Falls of Halladale, ly- ing at Main-street wharf, was the scene of a lively fusillade on Friday night, when Walter Helliwell, steward of the vessel, at- tempted to murder the first mate and came near sending the carpenter and captain to kingdom come. Helliwell, who had been ashore during the day, boarded the ship about 8 o'clock in the evening and went to the mate’s room. Tirst Officer Pavid Longwell and second mate William Kerr were sitting in the room, and Helliwell opened the door suddenly and shoved a lantern and a pistol in between their heads. Quick as thought Kerr grasped the barrel of the weapon, but the next mo- ment the steward pulled the trigger and a bullet just grazed the head of the first mate and buried itself in a wooden parti- tion. Kerr hastily closed the door in Helliwell's face and the two men threw themselves against the portal as a barri- cade. Helliwell went out on deck and peppered the mate through a deadlight, but fortunately his aim was bad. The human barricade scattered and the light was extinguished. Kerrheard the steward ascend the poop deck, and slipped out in the darkness. A shot rang out and a bul- Iet flattened itself on the deck. Kerr made a jump for the side and went down to the wharf hand over hand on the after moor- | ing. (g‘upmin Peters and Carpenter Wilson Morney rushed forward as Helliwell reached the poop, and inquired into the cause of the shooting. The steward warned them to go back, threatening them with death. The captain whispered to the carpenter to go below for a_ gun, but the latter reminded him that he had the key of the room. Helliwell overheard the re- mark, and commanded the captain to put the key on one of the ventilators. Peters complied, and then tried to reason with the frenzied steward. The captain stutters in his speech, and, as he did not talk uickly enough to suit him, the madman flelibemtely took a shot at him, the bullet passing close to his head. : The carpenter followed the second mate to the dock, and mnever stopped runnin, until he found Officers Matt Maher and Robert Whittle, who immediately started for the vessel. When the policemen arrived at Main street Helliwell had possession of the ship. He was in the cabin and had in his posses- sion a rifle with which to take a shot through the ca{ntnin's door under the im- ression that Morney was in the room ooking for a gun. A 'dark companion-way twenty feet in length stretched between the officers and their man and it seemed like courting death to attempt to enter the cabin. From where Helliwell stood he commanded a view of the entire ship and he could not be seen. * ‘When the ofticers called upon the stew- ard to surrender he asked them to show their authority. Maher leaned forward with a lantern in his hand and gave the desperate man a side view of his star. This not being sufficient eviderice Maher removed the star and placed it in the lan- tern’s rays. “‘Come on!” cried Helliwell. The policemen proceeded in single file, Whittle going ahead with the lantern and Maher following close behind with his re- volverresting on his companion’sshoulder. Helliwell hafi the barrel of his rifle in one hand and the stock in"the other. The ofticers closed in on him and handcuffed him without trouble. The man was not drunk, for he went down the ship’s ladder as “straight as a string.” When the officers and their charge reached the wharf the mate emerged from his room. “I'll have that dog’s life yet,” muttered the steward. “Who is that?” asked Maher. “That brute and bully, the first mate.” MONGOLS AS ATHLETES, Not the Miserable, Puny Fellows That One Would Imagine. One of the surprises encountered by the traveler when he is first cast among Mon- golians is their physical development. Americans are wont to judge their bodily structure by the specimens in the laundry shops of S8am Lee or Wi Ping; and the loose clothing of the Chinaman conceals his brawny arms and legs when he has them. Seeing Thibetans in the Himalayas —stocky chunks of men with an abnormal muscular development ~had not brushed away my idea that the Chinaman was rathier a slim, unmuscular Oriental, some- thing like the willowy Hindu; but when I landed in Singapore and first saw numbers of coolies stripped to their work, I was thunderstruck at their massive proportions. The Chinese are commonly said to be a diseased race, a people permeated with blood poisons; but one does not see it in the average specimen, and one does see at every street corner men with limbs and torsos like a Sandow, men who would be marked down for football players in any American college. Not but what disease is always an accompaniment of so crowded a porulution; not that its mani- festations fail to impress vou; but the Chinaman, far from being a taper-fingered mortal, is a tough, sturdy, fine fellow, with thews and sinews like an athlete, and Klenty of ambition and courage—within is racial lines. Nor have I found any ex- ception to the rule. The Mongol from the borders of India, where, going east, you first strike*hig' homely coarseness, to the confines of Japan, where you say goodby to his lovely cherry blosso and his smiling bows, is everywhere, in physique, the same strong, enduring man. he Chinaman is filthy in mind, body and estate; the Japanese is equally clean, but in mere physical quality they are ve much alike.” That the Mongol's' nervous structure is less fine than the Aryan’s is evi- denced by the fact that the average China- man_will endure unblenched the pain of a surgical operation which would seriously compromise the reactionary power of most white men, and this, if anything, adds to his value as a mere human animal.—The Torum, | Male servants are taxed in Great Britain.

The stock of Latonia was some $150,000. Col- onel Applegate will not name the price paid by the syndicate, but it is‘believed it will make the total value represented by the stock at $225,000. Mr. Hopper, the Latonia secretary, is a stockholder in the new concern. Y A mounted patrol judge will be intro- duced at Latonia, and there will be tele- phone communication from the patrol Jjudge and the starter to the judges' stand. It is surmised that a state of good fellow- ship, almost equal to a consolidation, will be established between the Latonia, Oak- ley, Louisville and Lexington traeks, since Colonel Applegate has pecuniary interests in the two last named. F¥oung Griffo Hissed. PHILADELPHIA, March 16.—Young Griffo and Billy McGarthy fought a four- round bout to-night at the Southwark Athietic Club. The fight was a very tame affair, not more than a dozen clean blo being struck in the four rounds. Griffo was fat as a mule and did not appear to care whether he fought or not. The bout grew so tiresome before the end of the third round that the crowd hissed the fighters. 7 New Orleans Races. NEW ORLEANS, March 16.—The track was fair to-day. Summaries: hibition of skill, and resulted in favor of the college boys by a score of 22 to 4. The students turned out in force to cheer on their representatives and to rattle the Oaklanders. The Stanford team was under the weather, as the clever outfielder, Cal- houn, was unable to play, while Dyer, the second baseman, and Sheehan, the center- field “star,” were in bad condition. The Reliance team put up strong, clean ball, but were rather weak at certain stages of the game. Promptly at 2:30 the rival nings com- menced preliminary practice, in which the Reliance players showed up well. Not- withstanding the chill in the atmosphere the large crowd of students remained until the last ball crossed the plate. The game was a pyrotechnical display from beginning to end. The college boys kept the Oaklanders chasing and the two and three bag hits stunned the Reliance nine. Three times did the visitors change their pitcher, and each change seemed for the worst. The Reliance playing was loose at times and Walton’s catching was far from its usual perfect sort. The Stanford team played a fine game. Just once did they seem even a little bit unsteady. MecLaine pitched a remarkable | game and was caught well by Russell. Altogether the Stanford students feel high- {ly elated over the result. The players were as follows: Stanford | McLaiue. | Russell Young. Dyer Pineu Whit Reliance. Calhoun, - Right field Sheehan . Center fleld Thompson. Left field. FIELD-DAY WINNERS. Track and Field. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 16.— Stanford athletes held their field day yesterday and dedicated the new track and field. There were ten events, all heavily handicapped, that excited great interest on account of the long list of entries. The events were hotly contested, and though no records were broken, some creditable time was made. The college record here for the 220-yard dash was broken by Bernard, '96, who made the run in 23 3-5 seconds. The pole vault was won by Condit with a foot handicap; he cleared 9 feet cleanly, but got no higher. Dole and Culyerstopped at 9 feet 8 inches. Copeland made the half-mile in 2:0314— as low as he ever made it. The shot-puts and hammer-throws were poor.

The tennis tournament to decide who shall stand in the single against Berkeley was won by Picher. The doubles will be decided next week. SULLIVAN WILL FIGHT. He Proposes to Challenge the Winner of the 0’ Donnell- Kilrain Bout. BOSTON, Mass., March 16.—John L. Sullivan will challenge the winner of the Kilrain-O'Donnell fight here Monday night. John has not proclaimed this pub- licly, but made the declaration in a recent conversation with Captain Bill Daly and Dan Murphy and arranged with the former to care for his end of the affair. As Cap- tain Daly will not attend the fight, Sulli- van personally at the ring side will an- nounce his challenge. Many of his friends look askance upon his proposition. In fact, while perhaps they will not regard a challenge to Kilrain, one who has Sullivan’s interests at heart told an Associated Press reporter to-night. that a determined effort would be made to prevent the ‘‘big fellow” from meeting O'Donnell should he win his contest with Kilrain.

THEIR FIRST $100. | Great Millionaires Tell How They Began Their Fortunes. Se many citizens of this country have succeeded within a generation or lessin | piling up vast fortunes that it-seems as if | the task could not be a very difficult one. It will be interesting to hear from some of | them how they set about it. “When I was 15 years old;” said Collis P. Huntington to the writer, ““I went from my home in Connecticut to New York and bought a small bill of goods, one of our neighbors being security for my credit. My first deal was a success. and thus I won my first $100. But starting business in San Francisco in 1849 I lost heavily until my funds were so low that in order to get to | Sacramento I earned my passage money thither on a schooner by helping ‘to load her at $1 an hour. InSacramento I started in business in a tent with a limited stock of general merchandise, and there I se- cured the first $100 that I may be said to have kept to the present time.” | Philip D. Armour, the Chicago pork- | acker, whose fortune is estimated at $20,- | ,000, said: “I got the first $100 of the fortune 1 now possess by digging and washin&ézold. I started for Califorma in 1849 and drove a team of six mules across the gplains. There I dug and washed away until I was pretty well wearied, and then I got some washings that I sold for $100, the first.time I eveér possessed so large a sum.” Andrew Carnegie explained that his first $100 was saved from salary paid to_him by Thomas Scott, president of the Penn. f- vania Railroad. Senator John P, Jones of Nevada, some- times called the Silver King, said that he found his first money in the ground, but he earned it. He went to California in 1849 and worked as a miner in placers and tunnels and there made a small beginning of his fortune. The late Senator Stanford often told how he earned his first $100. It wasasa law- yer's fee. He was chlicing in Okankee County, Wash., and defended a man ac- | cused of murdering a peddler. The most damaging fact against him was that a ring belonging to the murdered man was found on the prisoner’s hand. Addressing the jury in the most solemn manner Stanford” said: “Before God I swear that I know this man is innocent.” His attention was then attracted to a spectator who wus in a state of great emo- tion, Going to him he said: “This is the guilty man.” The man confessed and ex- plained that the geddler’s ring was pulled off in the death struggle. Stanford re- ceived from his client %%00, which he al- waysld afterward preserved.—New York orld. e e i ALL IN ONE. ; e \ He Gave an Unanswerable Argument for Married Happiness. The married man was talking to the bach- elor. 3 “Why don’t you marry?” inquired the | ‘benedict. i “I don’t want to be a married man, I suppose,” replied the bachelor. “What kind of a man do you want to be?” “Not any kind for any length of time. | For instance, I'd like to be a boy part of the time; then a lover sighing out his heart; then a husband and a father for a month or so; then an old man for another month, and so on, chan§inx about as the {noed might take me. That sort of thing eats these everlasting youth snaps all to pieces.” “Then marry,” said the benedict with supreme confidence. “That would knock my plan all to pieces.” ““‘On the contrary, my dear fellow,” said the married man, settling down to his work, “it wonld make you all of these. When you wanted to be a boy you could join your children in their pleasures and plans, in their sports and sorrows; when guu wanted to be a lover you would always nd your wife ready to listen uz the same sweet words you told her ‘in fthe June nights long ago; when you wanted to be a married man you could take off your coat and put up stoves and get out and do the marketing and study up new ways of how not to forget what your wife told you to time was 17:10 3-5.

Applegate, as trustee of a syndicate of seven men, several of whom live in Louis- ville, concluded this afternocon with Ed t when downtown; when you wanted to an old man you could sit” down in your office and wonder where you were going to get money enough to keep things going and think over the grave cares and respon- sibilities of a man in your position. There it is, old fellow,” concluded the married man, and you have selected it yourself. Now marry.” And the bachelor didn’t.—Detroit Free Press.
