The books all fared well, the Stuyvesant Ciubin p ar, and Johnny Coleman scemed in high spirits.

Arno has been the hero of many tough luck ya but he did the trick cleverly vesterday in the third race, a mile selling fowitza and Red Root divided favoritism honors at post time, with 11 to 5 against them. Roma was third choice, with Arno among the outsiders at 10 to 1. on opened up a gap after the flag fell, « for nearly half a mile, when Roma lead and tried to run away with the race. Arno came through in the stretch, and passing Roma as though he were a wooden horse, won galloping by four lengths. Mowitza finished a distant ite led u 1S 100 third. When the odds were marked up on the fourth race, Billy Beverly laid 8 to 5 against Sligo and caught both Schrieber’s and Wheelock’s games to the extent of two or three hundred apiece. It didn’t seem to me the Chicago penciler was much out of line, but the bookies at the track now are not overburdened with generosity, and thought6to 5 a good price against Hildredth'’s gelding. At post time, how- ever, 8 to 5 was obtainable. Red Bird, opening at 4 to 1, and Arnette received the bulk of the outside play. Abe Levy, who was very much in form yesterday, went down the line on Red Bird. 2 Wag started out to make the running, but was passed the t furlong by Red never headed, winning from the favorite. Arnette, a promising filly, was third. In the mile and a sixteenth handicap, Lucky Dog proved one of the sweetest 6 to 5 shots ever chalked up at the trac Dan McCarthy meandered around the ring playirg Captain Carterat 3 to 1, and a good portion of the crowd followed the ex- ample of the horseman of white hat fame. 1 don’t think the Captain will ever prove a Sorrento, although the stable think very highly of him. Pittsburg Phil, after con- siderable study, put his checks down on Gussie. » It looked very much as though Lucky Dog could have made a circuit of the track twice and then won, for he sailed out in front apparently delighting in the sloppy going and made his field look like cattle, winning pulled up by twelve lengths. Gussie as lmndil_\' beat Duke Stevens for the place. Captain Coster was outfooted from the jump, The Arizona stable’s Contribution looked a good thing for the last race, and from n money was backed down to 6to 10. v led to the stretch, followed by Sir hard. When straightened for home Con- tribution came like a shot and won hand- ily. Sir Richard beat Mainstay out for the lace. : There was still considerable smoke aris- ing from the ruinsof Tuesday’s steeple- chase at the track yesterday. While it hardly seems probable to me thata boy would take the chances Clancy did on falling from his mount in frontof the bunch, he will do well to tie himself on his next mount if he wishes to restore himself in public favor. If there was a job in the race and Three Forks was a ‘‘mackerel,” 1 think it was the horse that was ““fixed’’ and ‘not the rider, for the animal was fast dying away when élancy got the tumble.

The report that Tom Kiley’s sprinter George F. Smith had died at Albuquerque lacks verification. George Wheelock risked a dollar or two on Pronto’s chances. Bookmaker Walter took a $1000 bet on Contribution at even money from Abe Levy. The same bookmaker laid $1800 inst §2000 on Lucky Dog. Abe Levy also had a portion of this bet, and as the Chicago bookmaker won some other good bets he must have had a very swell day. Montalvo hit himself, cutting his quar- ters badly, in the steeplechase Tuesday, which accounted for his poor showing at the finisn. He will progab]y not start again at the meeting. Little Cripple and Hymn, in Johnny Weber’s string, will be two hard horses to beat at the Los Angeles meeting. The former is a very useful horse at distances over a mile. A match race was arranged last night between Toby and Little Bob, three- quarters of a mile, each to carry eighty-five gounds for $100 a side, to take place to-day etween 12 and 1 o’'clock before the first race. Bob Davenport, the owner of Little Bob, has bet Al Smith, owner of Toby $20 even that Bob will beat Toby by 100 yards.

Pugilist O’Domnnell’s Poor Showing Against Kilrain Occasions Surprise Among Local Sportsmen. The topic of conversation in athletic club circles just now is the Kilrain and O'Donnell contest which took place before the Suffolk Athletic Club of Boston on Tuesday evening. According to the report of the fight as published in the CaLy, the old warhorse, Kilrain, surprised the O’'Donnell men, who looked for an easy victory. The Ameri- can had certainly the advantage in weight, but what O’Donnell lacked in that particu- lar he made up in condition, as the report states that he was in prime order when he faced Kilrain. The fact that Champion Corbett has re- peatedly announced that O’Donnell was the next best man to himself, pugilistically speaking, is significant of the fact that champion pu; ilists are mot always correct in their opinions. The stand that old man Kilrain made against Corbett’s pet boxer has certainly boomed Fitzsimmons, whose stock has risen considerably in the estima- tion of local sporting men. Harry Willlams, a well-known patron of fistic sports, who has witnessed nearly all of the principal glove contests that im\'e taken pYnce in this country during the past twenty years, said: The result of the Kilrain-O'Donnell fight has changed my mind somewhat as to the probable result of a bout between Fitzsimmons and Corbett. I have seen several letters from Corbett, in all of which he eulogized O’Donnell to the skies, ‘ddimé that if the two Australians, Fit: simmons and O'Donnel], should ever meet in a limited or a finish fight the former would gnt unmercifully whipped. I looked upon ’'Donnell as being a great fighter, but I must confess his showing before poor old Kilrain nas changed my views very materially. Although I'still believe that Corbett will whip | Fitzsimmons, if those fighters meet within a year or two, Iam more than_ever convinced now that the greatest fighter living to-day is Peter Jackson, the colored champion, and, furthermore, I think that Corbett has no par- ticular fancy to take on Jackson again. The friends of Corbett in the Olympic Club say that no correct line can be drawn as to the probable result of a contest be- tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons from the Kilrain and O'Donnell match. - The Olym- pic boys contend that O’Donnell is only a clever sparrer, and was never known to be a man who had stood up before a game fighter for more than three or four rounds, and that as a sparring partner o?Corbett no one can blame the latter for pushing O’Donnell to the front. The greatest admirers of Corbett have acknowfiedged. however, that they were surprised at the result; they expected to hear of an easy victory for O’Donnell, as it was the universal opinion of spon.inF men here that Kilrain was a ‘‘has been.” ana would prove very soft game for the clever Australian sparring partner of Champion Corbett. * FOR BETTER ROADS.

TRACEY SEVERELY PUNISHED BY THE FIGHTER FROM CHICAGO. SAVED ONLY BY THE GONG. No DecisioN RENDERED BECAUSE THE MANAGERS DID NoT WANT POLICE INTERFERENCE. CHICAGO, March 20.—Tommy Ryan of Chicago had an easy job with Tom Tracey of 8t. Louis to-night. Nodecision was rendered, chiefly because the managers of the affair were apprehen- sive of police interference at the Choynski- Creedon fight of to-morrow night if the affair of to-night was carried to the ex- treme, but for all that Tracey was badly whipped. He was fairly out in the seventh round, but when Referee George Siler had counted seven, and, Tracey showing no sign of rising, Siler was called to one side of the ring and by the time he was ready to resume counting the gong sounded and Tracey was saved. Ryan knocked him down three times in they fifth, and the referee might have counted fifteen before Tracey was on his feet the last time, but he did not count at all, and when Tracey was helped to his feet ““No decision” was announced. The men came into the ring at 10:30 o’clock. The first round was chiefly spar- ring. Tracey got in three light oneson Ryan’s body and received a hot one in the ribs in return. The second round was all Ryan’s, he hitting Tracey repeatedly on the head and only receiving one on the body. The third round opened hot, and after several warm exchanges Tracey knocked Ryan to his knees with a right on the chin. Ryan was up in an instant and had the best of the round after that. In the fourth and fifth rounds Ryan kept his left busy in battering Tracey’s head, and the latter acted strictly on the de- fensive. In the sixth Tracey’s left eye was closed, and he bled profusely. Ryan then smashed him on the nose, and brought a crimson stream from that organ. Ryan battered Tracey as he pleased, and knocked him down with a vicious left in the face. Tracey was covered with blood as he went to his corner. Ryan after this had it very easy. He knocked Tracey flat in the seventh, and but for the lengthening allowance the latter would have been out. He wason the floor fully fifteen seconds. In the last round Tracey was knocked into the ropes, and when he left them was sent to the floor. He came up after the referee had counted nine, and was at once knocked down again. He tottered to his feet, and was knocked clearly out. The “no decision” was announced after he had been carried to his corner. Tracey was in bad shape at the end, being covered with blood from his eye, nose and cheek. Ryan did not have a scratch. SIX LIVELY ROUNDS. Young Griffo Meets His Match in Jack Hanley. PHILADELPHIA, March 20.—Young Griffo and Jack Hanley fought six lively rounds at the Southwark Athletic Club to- night, and while no decision was given, the contest ended decidedly in favor of Hanley. Griffo was evidently not in the best of condition, although he put up a good defense. In the last round there were plenty of short exchanges, Griffo hit- ting Hanley three times in succession, with no returns. SALE OF A F RESNO YEARLING The Pacing Colt Athnix Sold to a Michi- gan Stock Farm. FRESNO, March 20.—The pacing colt Athnix, with a yearling record of 2:20, has been sold by George L. Warlow of this city to the Kalamazoo Farm Company of Kalamazoo, Mich. The price was $1000. The colt will be entered in all the large stake races for two-year-olds in the Bast- ern circuit. BOXING AND WRESTLING. Spirited Contests at Pittsburg for Amateur Championships. 7 PITTSBURG, March 20.—The first night of the boxing and wrestling championships of the Amateur Athletic Union last night was a success, both in attendance and work done in the several bouts. The tour- ney is being held under the auspices of the North-Side Athletic Glub, and entries are on from all parts of the United States. Fully 2000 people crowded into the hall and applauded the fighters generously. The fighting threatened to go beyond the police rules, but only once did the guar- dians of the peace have to interfere, then only to caution. The result of the preliminary bouts pulled off to-night are as follows: 105- pound boxing-class, won by James Sal- mon, Pittsburg Athletic Club, over Thomas B. McMullan, Woods Run Ath- letic Club. 115-pound boxing, won by E. M. Moran, Emerald Athletic Club, over Edward Burke, both of Pittsburg. 125-pound boxing, won by Loudon Campbell, Oak Leaf Athletic Cluk, over James T.

LANCASTER, Mass.,, March 20.—The famous stallion Ralph Wilkes, owned by Colonel John E. and Bayard Thayer, died here to-day. Thayer Brothers had refused $75,000 for him. He was foaled in Kentucky six years ago and first bred by Dr. F. Galbraith of Lex- ington, Ky. He was sold for $30,000 when but two years old to John E.Thayer and at that time had a record of 2:18 on high wheels. When three years old he made an exhibition mile in 2:13%¢ and last fall he lowered his record to 2:063 at Nashville. The stallion was sired by Red Wilkes, son of George Wilkes. His dam was Mary Mays, by Mambrino Patchen, 2 son of Mambrino Chief. SCIENTIFIO HANDBALL. Champions Riordan and Donnelly Defeat Nealon and Bonnet. The Occidental handball court was so crowded last night that several people had to-turn away disappointed at not being able to get a seat. The upper gallery was reserved for ladies and every seat was oc- cupied. The attraction was a match between John Riordan, champion of the coast, and Pat- rick T. Donnelly, amateur champion, and James C. Nealon and T. F. Bonnet. It was expected that a splendid contest for supremacy would be witnessed from the fact that Nealon and Bonnet defeated the two champions last Sunday and the ex- pectation was fully realized. Eight games were played, Riordan and Donnelly having six ‘to their credit and Nealon and Bonnet two. The games were remarkable for the extraordinarily fine tossing displayed by the four contestants. Donnelly distinguished himself by tossing fortv-one consecutive aces, a feat unpar- alleledzon this coast and probably in the United States. Nealon also made the re- markable score of thirty-th ree consecutive aces. Following was the score: Riordan and Donnelly....21 21 21 14 5 21 21 21 Nedfton and Bonnet..... )18 14 02121 16 14 9 John Purcell, amateur champion of the second class, played Al Hampton, one of the team champions of the Olympic Club, the best of three games. Each won a game by the same score, 21—19, and in the third Purcell made 12 straight, when Hampton retired. THE AMBITION OF A JOCKEY LITTLE ROBBIE KENNY RODE TO SUPPORT HIS YOUNG SISTERS. Tuomas H. WiLLiams Jr. WiLL EpucaTE THE Two BE- REAVED GIRLS. Little Robert Kenny, a jockey-boy at the Bay District track, died Monday night from a fall in an exciting race. Little was known about the boy, and perhaps less was cared by the crowds who watched him ride his last horse around the track. Nor did those who were closely as- sociated with him, either as horsemen, jockies or attendants, have half an idea of the brave little heart that beat beneath his colored jacket. At the racetrack he was ‘“‘Robbie, the jockey,” and nothing more, though his employers wondered more than once at the lad’s industry and model habits, and his enthusiastic desire to please the men above him. Young Kenny's death revealed the secret of his short life, which in brief is a really pathetic story. His father had done little or nothing to support the family in years, and when Robbie came to be a jockey with a salary, Robbie, with his two little sisters, parted company with father and mother. The sisters are about 12 years of age and have been living in a friend’s house, where Robbie supported them. They went to school and dressed well, but very few people knew that their brother, a boy of 17, paid every expense incurred by them. Last night they cried their eyes out beside his coffin, and would not be consoled by friends. Thomas H. Williams Jr., President of the Jockey Club, heard of Robbie’s sisters, and also heard for the first time yesterday that his young jockey had been schooling and supporting them while denying him- self many little comforts, The horsemen, jockeys and track employes had already opened a subscription for a burial fund and to give the girls something, but Mr. Will- iams said, “‘give the money back.” The money was given back to everyone who contributed and Mr. Williams prom- ised to pay for the funeral and to place the dead jockey's sisters in a boarding school where they will be educated and cared for. An informal meeting of the Jockey Club was held yesterday and the matter was talked over with a view to doing something for the children. The horsemen then learned that Robbie neither drank nor smoked nor spent a dollar that could be used to advantage for the benefit of his sisters. Where the body lay last night there were many sad faces. Hundreds of the men and boys who had known young Kenny at the racetrack visited the under- taking-rooms and paid their sorrowful respects to the little fellow. The jockeys sent a_beautiful floral piece representing a whip, horseshoe and cap with his colors, and there were pillows and many other exquisite designs in flowers. All were white, with a cluster of Easter lilies above them on the casket. The dead jockey was a devout Catholic, and attended worship regularly at the Star of the Sea Church in Richmond. He was never known to miss a Sunday from the church, where he was a great favorite ot Father Coyle, the pastor. A high requiem mass will be celebrated over his remains by Father Coyle at 9 o’clock this morning, when it is expected the church will be crowded with the riders and others connected with racing at the jockey club’s track. ——————— Death of Edward P. Buckley. Edward Patrick Buckley,a member of the Society of California Pioneers, died at his home, 520 Lombard street, from heart disease, at an early hour, yesterday morning.

HAGERTY FINDS HIu- SELF IN A PECULIAR PREDICAMENT. THE POLICE ARE DISGUSTED. HARRY MEYERS May Have Been IMPLICATED IN THE STAGG MURDER. Robert D. Hagerty, saloon-keeper at the Cliff House, is in a peculiar predicament. He is morally certain that Harry, alias ‘“‘Hank’ Meyers, a sure-thing gambler, was the masked man who robbed him and shot him in his saloon on the night of Septem- ber 25, but at the same time he does not possess the moral courage to swear toa compiaint against him for the crimes. It was stated in yesterday’s CALn that Meyers had been arrested and positively identified by Hagerty. He is still just as positive, but last night he refused abso- lutely to swear to a complaint. Captain Lees was unable to be at his office last night through illness, so he re- requested Hagerty and George Fitzgerald, his stable-boy, who was in the saloon when he was robbed and shot, to call at his house to definitely determine what he should do. Detective Cody and Policeman 0’Dea accompanied them. “Now, Hagerty,” said the captain, “the position of ma tters is this. You have since you were shot told the police and others that you knew the men who shot you. One was Gus Frey, the smaller of the two men, who went to school with you and is now serving a six months’ sentence in the House of Correction for vagrancy. “‘Th e other, or taller of the two men, you did not know by name, but you saw him at Harbor View about three weeks after you were snot, and by his actions then you were confirmed in your belief that he was the man. So sure were you that you said Lf‘ you had had a gun you would have shot i ‘‘Four weeks ago you rushed up to Po- liceman O’Dea on “Market street, pointed out the same man and wanted O'Dea to arrest him, but 0’ Dea had a prisoner at the time and couldn’t leave him. You got De- tective Gibson to go with you to Jesse Marks’ saloon on Market street, where you saw the man enter, but when you got there the man was gone. ‘‘After Stagg’s murder you insisted upon the man being arrested, and Detective Cody and Policeman O’Dea arrested Mey- ers on Monday. You saw him in the prison and positively identified him, and in my office, in presence of Cody, O’Dea and Robert Pinkerton, you said you were ready to make an affidavit that Meyers was the man. Now, will you awear fo a complaint charging him with robbery and assault to mnrfer?” E: Hagerty, after admitting the correctness of the captain’s statement, said he would not swear to a complaint, although he was morally convinced that Meyers robbed and shot him. Meyers had visited his saloon before the robbery and was familiar with how things were done. His height and build were the same, and the fact was he had a superstitious helief that Meyers robbed and shothim. He asfirmly believed that Frey was his accomplice. If he had seen an officer at Harbor View when he saw Meyers he would have procured his arrest. He saw him twice after that in his saloon, but at neither time was an officer at hand. Until Monday last he did not know Meyers’ name. Fitzgerald was asked if the taller of the two men who committed the robberies in the saloon on September 25 and on Feb- ruary 21, was the same. He said he thought s0, and that Meyers looked like the man. Nothing more could be done, so Hagerty and Fitzgerald took their leave. The po- lice are chagrined at Hagerty’s refusnlplo swear to a complaint. They think that pressure has been brought to bear on Hag- erty by Meyers’ friends. In fact, Hagerty admitted that seventeen of them had been at him on Tuesday night. On February 21, the time of the secona hold-up in Hagerty’s saloon, Detective Cody ascertained that Meyers pawned a pair or diamond earrings, which showed that he was hard up. . Cody says he was told by a man named Chapelli, since Monday, that Hagerty told him shortly after the robpery that the men who shot and robbed him ‘had paid him back the $125 the{ took from him and he thought he would let the matter drop. The police strongly suspect Meyers of being implicated in the murder of Stagg, as he answers the description of the taller of the two men, and he will be held pend- ing developments. eyers was seen in the City Prison, and expressed surprise that Hagerty should charge him with the crime, as they had always been the best of friends. He could not recollect where he was on the night of September 25. Regarding Stagg’s murder he said he was in the Oberon saloon on Saturday night with Billy Mec- Donald and Johnnie Ellis, sure-thin, gamblers, and was with them till 3 o’cloc] next morning. Meyers is a tall, athletic-looking man, with a_determined face and shifty, gray eyes. He acknowledged that he is’a sure- thing gambler and used to frequent the ocean beach and prey upon strangers. He admitted knowing Frey, but said he had not been in his company for ten months. Frey and Aleck Manderson, alias “‘Scotch Aleck,” were strongly suspected of being the murderers of Cash, the gambler, in a hotel at Willows last summer. Since the murder of Cornelius Stagg the residents at the Ingleside and surrounding country have been in mortal fear of foot- pads, and corresponding alert for any sign of them. Superintendent Hyland of the Sgring Valley Water Works has a fine residence near Lake Merced. Special Officer John Dalton lives in a cottage close to the Hy- land residence, About 8 o'clock last night Dalton’s at- tention was attracted by the furious bark- ing of dogs. He has a small arsenal in his cottage, and scenting danger he grabbed for arifle, but in his hurry got hold of a shotgun. : On looking outside he saw a tall man in Hyland’s yard. He called upon him to stop, but the man ran and Dalton fired at him. He pulled the trigger of the second barrel, but to his disgust found it was empt¥. He ran to the house and got a handiul of cartridges. He quickly loaded both barrels, and when he got outside again he saw the man running slowly and painfully, as if he had been shot. Dalton again called upon him to swg, but his command was unheeded, and he fired both barrels at him. Before he could Load h-gnin the man had disappeared in the rush. Dalton sent a telephone message to the Seventeenth street and Southern police stations. Sergeants Burkeand Hannaand Policemen Mooney and Shanahan drove to the place. They searched the brush as carefully as the darkness would permit, but found no trace of any one. Dalton was satistied ihat his first shot took effect and thought the man was still inthe brush. He also thought the man had a companion, as the dogs who had been barking were some distance from Hyland’s yard and the other man may have been close to them. Dalton’s cottage is about a mile below the Ingleside House and half a mile from the beach. The‘v’ may be the men who committed the robbery and murder at Ingleside House on Baturday night. but the police are in- clined to doubt it, as they would not be so foolhardy as to attempt a burglary or rob- bery so near the scene of Saturday’s mur- de:ywhen they knew the police were daily searching the locality. } ALL-ROUND SPORTING.

Several Important Matters Discussed by the District Club: At the meeting of the Richmond Dis- trict Improvement Club last evenlng at Farrell's Hall the committee appointed at a previous meeting of the club to wait on Superintendent Vining of the Market- street Railway Company regarding the removal of rails on First, Seventh and Point Lobos avenues reported that Mr, Vining assumed complete ignorance of these obstructions existing on the thor- oughfares named. In the discussion which followed it was claimed that the franchises of the com- pany over these avenues had been forfeited by reason of non-user, and that action ought to be taken bg' the Attorney-General to declare them void. The committee delegated to wait upon the Board of Supervisors to secure the opening of the public streets now obstruct- ed by tge fence inclosing the Bay District racetrack reported that the board had taken the matter under advisement, and that the same action was taken in the mat- ter of narrowing the sidewalks in the dis- trict from 18 to 15 feet, and thereby widen- ing the roadways. i resolution” was adopted condemning the Richmond Banner for opposing the efforts of the property-owners to secure the opening of the streets through the race- track grounds, and declaring it unworthy of the support of the residents of the dis- trict. One of the members cailed attention to the fact that the main sewer, which had been constructed at great cost by the Rich- mond district property-owners, had been greatly injured and rendered almost use- less by the Midwinter Fair authorities in turning the sewage of the fair grounds into itieiore it had an outlet. A preposi- tion was made that a portion of the sur- plus fair fund be devoted to making good this damage to the sewer. The matter was finally left for definite action to a future meeting. George W.
