THE SAN FEANCISCO CALL, ATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1895. I WAS 4 VERY ORDINARY CARD. DUMPS AND UPSETS THAT KEPT THE TALENT AT THE TRACK GUESSING. TRIX TOOK ANOTHER RACE. M2 AY BEAT A Goop FIELD OF MUD-LARKS IN THE LasT Race. Many of the prizes offered at theBay dee 10 to 1, Jack Richelien 7 to 5, Banjo15to1, Red Bird 5 to 1, Quarterstaf 100 to 1. Around the Ring, Flynn rode the winners of the first two races yesterday. Eddie Burke was a new-comer on the block yesterday. Grannan played both Trix and Arno in the mile race. Pittsburg Phil plugged Jack Richelieu. Annie Moore was played for a mild “killing.” 2 Secretary Benjamin of the Los Angeles race meeting is busily engaged getting en- tries for the Fiesta meet. Quitea num- ber of horsemen have signified their inten- tion to race at the southern metropolis, | including among them ““Moose” Taylor. { _White and Clarke have sent their mare | Clara White to the Chase ranch, in Sonoma County, to be bred to the great Morello. Thomas Lundy, the wealthy jeweler, has turned over Thornhill and the balance of | his horses that have been in the charge of i Frank Van Ness to Penn Moore, a promis- ing young trainer, who will ‘key them up’’in future. The entries for the California Jockey l?m rict track yesterday were in the betting- Ting, and not on the card. The track was PPY, but very fair time was made in the different events. Taking everything into u_vns\r!cmtion, picking winners was not difficult, but there have been times when it was easier. Yesterday was ‘“‘cut-in” day with the bookmakers, thirteen going on. Among the absentees was George Whee- lock, who dallied with the bangtails on | the ground, along with the rest of the | talent. George broke about even on the game, and aiter giving them about a week’s trial on the outside will depart for t. ky Dog seems to have a hard time getting a race, for all scratched in the six- | furiong handicap vesterday but the son of arebin, and of course it had to be de- clared off, the fourth race being split to complete the card. The sport began with the downfall of a favorite, Sallie Calvert, the first choice, Wwith 8 to 5 against her, finishing behind Tom Ryan’s Fly, the second choice, who led all ‘the way and won easily, running the five furlongs in 1:0314. Raphael, who carried Riley Grannan’s money, finished third. % The second run bad for starters War Tago, Annie Moore, Road Runner, Tobey Rogation and Faro, the first half of the | divided fourth race. Road Runner, open- ing at 1 to 2, went to the post 2 to 5. opening at 8 to 1, was backed down to fours at post time, Riley Grannan having his chec! s down on the son of Prince of Nor- Bookmaker Walter also played the e and promised Flynn $200 if he won. 1, he did, and “won a block.” away in front Road Runner could never get near him, finishing second, five lengths el nd. Warrago was a good third in the ace. Although won by one of the first choices the mile selling race wasa sortof disap- pointment, as old Hy Dy was expected to do better. The latter and Trix went to the postwith 8 o5 against each. Eckert was acked down from 15 to 10 to 1, but looked as if hehad been run througha gaspipe | ol and showed no speed any part of the ra Arno, backed from 8 to 5to 1, did muct better, and, to my mind, were Tommy But- ler a bit more experienced in the finishing line, the race would been his. As it was, after Lonnie B, followed by Trix, had led until well around the turn the mare fell back and Trix led into Arno the contending horse. Ina drive through the stretch Sloane landed Trix winner by a head from Arno, with Hy Dy, ridden by Griffin, a poor third. § Originally Terra Nova was entered in the mile run, but was scratched and very prettily added to the second half of the divided fourth race, carrying 100 pounds, a soft spot indeed. He went to the post 11 to 5 with in up. Most of those that think they know something about the races played Arctic, getting 4 to 1 against their ‘money. Bittsbu Phil put his sheckels on the cold trick, as the horses went to the post. After acting very nicely the post,, Arc became troubled h strange noises in his head, and buck- mping the reverse way of the track tried his best to unseat Ch ier, but being un- successful, again became docile and was led back to the post. But the backers of Arctic were not kept in suspense long, for Starter Ferguson dropped his flag to a start Sweetheart, and Arctic a Of course he could ova, but Arctic passed the field, finishing second With a fair break he 1 certainly have won. t a vast quantity of good one race willdo to a horse was evidenced in the of 8ligo in the last race. starting a progounced favorite in a nrlong race, Red Bird beat him hand- terday, carrying the same weight, h 20 to 1 against him. he finished sec- ond to Mainstay and beat Red Bird away off. It was a lively betting affair, this race vesterc Jack Richelieu opened with | fours against him, but only for a short time. He finally went to the posta7to5 avorite, with Mainstay second choice at 12 to 5. ligo foliowed by Grandee headed the nch past the half with Mainstay a clos ttendant. At the far turn Mainstay too! he lead, holding it throughout, passi udges a length in front of Sligo, with Dave Gibson was fortunate 1k Grandee third. s in whipsawing the race, and Riley Gran- nan, who was in improved form, also landed a good bet on the blg Mariner colt. Barney Schreiber intends leaving for the East about April 1 with his horses, but judging from Barney’s manner after the Jast race, if acrobatic performances con- tinue to be in order he may cut hisde- parture shorter.

GUNSTS IDEAS ON POLICE. | HE WoULD LIKE TO. HAVE THEM ; AS THEY ARE IN THE ; EAST. | | POLICEMEN SHOULD BuTTON THEIR | Coats AND WALK WITH DicNITY. “I would have the policemen who patrol Market and Kearny streets and the other | principal thoroughfares of this city as fine a body of picked men as the Broadway squad of New York—the most celebrated | force of police in the world,” said Police | Commissioner Gunst last night. “The | sight of our principal streets guarded by a | lot of large fine-appearing men who would | stand erect, walk with dignity and show in | the scrupulous neatness of their uniforms | all the nicity of a crack militia regiment, | would, I believe, produce a favorable im- | pression on Eastern visitors, which would | be the best possible advertisement for our city. : ““As it is now many of our oflicers are | somewhat untidy in their dress. They are | permitted to wear their coats unbuttoned | and flying loose instead of having them | buttoned asisthe rule in Eastern cities. | Then, too many of them walk with a | slouchy gait, which is by no means impos- ing or dignified. | ““There are other changes, too, which, I | think, should be made for the improve- ment of the force. Now the sergeants wear no uniforms, and I believe that every | member of the force, from the Chief down, | should be forced to wear the uniform when i If the police area well-trained | on duty. | bodv of men the sergeants can handle them | well enough without having to sneak | around in citizen’s dress to spy upon them. *‘Under the present system it is almost | impossible for a citizen who may have a | complaint to make concerning an officer to find his superior without baving him pointed out. This lessens the dignity of the force, and I disapprove of that. | “Should the officers wear their clubs outside their coats? Yes, I think so. That is done in nearly all the Eastern cities, and there the service seems to be | more etlicient. Whether it results from the sight of the clubs or not, I do not know. “Speaking of uniforms, thers is another reason why they should be worn by all | officers when on duty. Under the present system the sergeants are given all the | privileges of the detective force. As fhey {are in citizens’ dress, they may stand | around in doorways talking to gamblers or women of the world without attracting at- tention, or'may enter saloons and drink | without violating the regulations, since | they are not in uniform. No; if there is any work requiring plain-clothes men I favor having it done by the aetectives, in | whose department it properly belongs. | “Another thing: At night now the of- ficers wear peajackets and ordinary over- | coats over their uniformg, simply placing tbe star upon the outside. ,Now, a star | does mnot convey the idea of authority nearly so quickly as a uniform, and there- | fore this system is bad. You remember | that Policeman Grant, for shooting whom | Actor Curtis was tried, was not in uniform | When he attempted to make the arrest.” | Commissioner Tobin. when informed of ! the views expressed by his colleague, did | not_entirely agree with him. “The suggestions,’ he said, “are not entirely new, for we have discussed them i at different times during the past five years. The sergeants were allowed to | wear citizens’ clothes at the suggestion of | the Chief and captains of police, because it was thought that thus they could more efficiently perform their duties. The idea then was that they should not be made conspicuous. g | “The men might be required to keep | their coats buttoned. but to that it is | objected that during the very warm por- tions of each day they would become over- |.heated. Colds, coughs and puimonary troubles would follow, and our force,is now so small that we cannot afford to have any of the men laid up by illness. For that reason we have allowed them considerable latitude in the mode of wearing their uniforms as well as wearing peajackets and overcoats during the nights. So far as wearing the clubs outside the coats is con- | cerned that would be a necessity if the coats were to be kept buttoned, as other- wise they could not be easily reached when wanted.” We have, however, endeavored to impress on the men that the club was iven them only for defensive use and was geuigned to be used as sparingly almost as the pistol. e “I'do not think it possible for usto or- ganize a squad of picked men on the prin- ciple of the Broadway squad. Under the present ordinance the men must be changed about all over the city during the course of a year. That was intended, of coutse, to prevent corruption of the force, but it operates to forbid the forming of any picked body of men. : “Tam inclined to see many good points in Mr. Gunst’s suggestions, though I'think that the Chief will not be disposed to agree with all of them.” e Baxter said that he put his entire re- ligious experience and the whole of the B?bls into the “‘Saints’ Everlasting Rest.” SOLLVAN S~ DANGEROUSLY ILL. THE EX- CHAMPION SUDDENLY STRICKEN WITH PNEU- MONIA. HIS CONDITION VERY BAD. Now THAT HE Is AT DEATH'S DOOR Many WiLL RecaLL His Goop TRAITS. CHICAGO, March 22.—A special to the Inter Ocean from Boston says: i Ex-Champion John L. Sullivan is lying ill with pneumonia at the home of his sister at Roxbury. He contracted a severe cold last week, and it rapidly developed into pneumonia. His condition is reported to be very bad to-night. TO REGULATE RACING. An Important Bill Before the New York Legislature. ALBANY, N. Y., March 22.—The amend- ed Grey-Percey racing bill was presented to the Assembly to-day. While in the committee it has been changed in many respects. The most important provisions of the bill provide that hereafter there shall be a State Racing Commission, to be appointed by the Governor, and to consist of three men, no two of whom shall be members of the same racing association. The commission is to license associations and meerings under reasonable rules and regulations, which may, from time to time, be prescribed by the Jockey Cluband the National Association. The commis- sion is to have power to cancel and revoke licenses. A tax of 5 per cent of the gross earnings of the corporations enjoying the privileges of the bill is to be paid to_ the State. The bill provides that any person who makes or records a bet directly or indi- rectly upon any racecourse shall forfeit the value of any money or property so waged, received or held by him, to be recovered in a civil action by the person or persons with whom such wager ‘is made or, by whom such money or property is de- posited.. The Ives pool bill and the Sax- ton amendment were repealed. The bill will be made a special order some day next week. McAULIFFE They Will Fight for the Light-Weight Championship of the World.

Simple Devices for Getting Rid of the Tmportunate in the Strect. “Look here, officer,” said an indignant citizen to a policeman in Twenty-third street, ‘‘these beggars who creep up behind | you and talk along at your side are grow- ing more persistent and impudent than ever. What are you, going to do about them ?"” “Why, of course,” the policeman replied, ‘“‘we run ’em in whenever we see them accosting any one: but the trouble is that they work the racket so smoothly that it is almost impossible to say that they are beg- ging when we don’t see them stop any one.”’ “Yes, yes, I understand that,” said the citizen; “but what about belting those fel- lows over the head 7’ . “Well,” said thie policeman smiling. “I shouldn’t advise you te do that, sir; those fellows are a pretty tough set. But I'll tell ou one or two tricks that will bother them. fit'sa rainy day you'll notice these fel- lows always board you on the leeward or open side. Now,as soonas any one of them is abreast of your shoulder throw your umbrella quickly over and shove the whole wet thing smartly into his face. Do this suddenly, and you'll find your beggar will give up the chasein a twinkling, for there are few things that I know that wili phaze a man so quick as the big, round stretch of a dripping numbrella shoved into his face without a moment’s warning. “That'sone way. Now, if it’s dry weather and you have a walking stick, drop it down on the side the fellow is on and then throw the end out at angle, so that it will catch between his feet as he shuffles along. If youdon’t trip him you’ll give him so much to attend to keeping clear of the stick’ that he will very soon give up begging and drop behind. “Now, supposing you've got neither an umbrella nor a walking-stick. Then yon must do the double on him. Like this: As soon as the beggar begins to close u behind you, quicken your pace.

Coffee. There certainly is a system to follow in purchasing coffee. In America this is so frequently bought roasted (if not ready ground), that it is not always considered 80, necessary to mention the principal points worthy of the housewife’s ob- servance, as it is on the Continent, where coffee is hardly ever purchased otherwise than in the raw state, and one cannot help urging American housekeepers to roast and grind their own provision. It is much more satisfactory, and it seems a matter for wonder that more people do not pursue that course. There is no possibility of comparison between the flavor of the beans that are roasted, or, at any rate, ground at home, and those that are bought even in a so-called perfectly ‘‘ifresh” state. ASs a general rule, it may be remarked, that the more even the beans the better the quality, which the best quality coffee has lighter beans than the inferior sorts. The best kinds of coffee are those coming from Mocha, Syria and’ Egypt—or at any rate, the sorts that go by the names of these countries; the beans are small, have a biuish tint, and are rather round, but they are not common. Java coffeeis much used on the Continent; it has a pleasant smell, and the beans are rather yellow, they all do operation leisurely finished, coffee in the then roast large become insi transfer an air-tight canister.

It takes about twenty minutes to roast a pound and a half of coffee, but the easiest method is to buyone of the French roasters, in which the lamp contains just the right uantity of spirit to roast the contents of the machine to a nicety.

Some singular things are recorded as hav- Lug happened yesterday between a soldier, a footwarmer, a locomotive and other roll- ing stock on the Great Western line in the rts of Berkshire about Newbury. The sol- ier and the footwarmer were traveling in the same compartment. There was, of course, nothing stronger than water inside the footwarmer; there may have been in- side the soldier. Whether the footwarmer o ) T did anything to him—boiled his boots or | froze them does not appear. But what the soldier did to the footwarmer was first to cast it forth into space. The space into which he cast it happened, at that particu- lar moment, to be occupied by the locomo- tive of another train. Irritated, but illog- ical, the footwarmer seems to have struck the locomotive for all it was worth. The locomotive retaliated. Thereupon the foot- warmer went back to its own train for the soldier. In its eagerness to get at him it broke the handle off the carriage door, and the wrong carriage door at that. Failing the door it tried the window and the nerves of the lady who occupied the compartment. She screamed. The footwarmer recoiled, made a last desperate effort, broke another window and fell exhausted on the six-foot way. There it was presently picked up, weltering in some congealed fluid or other and battered almost out of recognition. What hight the soldier may be able to throw upon this strange drama remains to be seen.—Pall Mall Gazette.
