8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1895. AN INDIFFERENT RUN EXPLAINED, ABI P WAS “DoPED,” WHICH Ac- COUNTED FOR HER POOR RUN TUESDAY. MYRON GOT THE FIRST RACE. WHITESTONE DOWNED FLASHLIGHT BY A CLOSE MARGIN IN A DRIVE. On Tuesday of the present week AbiP started in a light welter-weight race at five furlongs, against Joe Cotton, McFarlane, Advance, Vulcan and The Drummer. From 4 to 1 the speedy sprinter was backed down to 13105, a heavily backed second choice, Joe Cotton, going to the posta 9 to 10 favorite. The mare was in fine condi- tion, and both her owner, G. Pacheco, and Trainer Short were confident she would defeat the favorite. In “factso confident was her trainer she would win that he bor- rowed money on his watch to play her. With W. Clancy up, she ran a miserable race, finishing an- indifferent third. So poor was her run that Clancy came in for ili\ share of criticism. Noticing that the mare acted strangel fter the race, Trainer Short called in the services of a veterinary surgeon yesterday morning, and after an examination he stated that thout doubt the mare had been given some drug. There was partial paralysis of the hind legs and the veins were badly swollen, but the veterinary stated that unless the drug attacked the heart she would recover. Who the guilty persons were and when the drug was administered to the racer is a mystery. The drizzling rain apparently dampening effect on those that at the races at the track yesterday, for the betting was extremely light. Very few swell bets were made by the plungers, they contenting themselves with watching the mud-larks with but a modest bet down. In the first three races the favorites, Del Norte, Robin Hood ana Mowitza, were led, but in the last two Ursula and Whitestone both landed the coin. The last race was declared off on account of the liberal scratching. Del Norte was backed from 7 to 5 to even money to win the first race, a six-furlong spin for maidens, but finished second. Myron, an 8 to 1 chance, and Soon Enough, another outsider, raced out in front, open- ing up a big gap between them and the field. " The latter tired the last furlong and fell back. Myron won easily from Del Norte, who beat Soon Enough a head for tlie place. Robin Hood I, the 2to 1 favorite for the second race, a four-furlong selling affair, wvas never in the chase. Sir Reginald, a5 to 1 shot, led from start to finish, ridden by Willie Flynn, beating My Sweetheart handily by a_length and a half. Hunts- man, backed down from 10to4to 1, wasa close third. 2 Mowitza went to the post favorite for the mile selling race, backed down from 314 to 1 to twos, but showed no liking for the muddy going. The pencilers were pretty close with their odds against the six other [Etarters, barring Fleetwood and Bone Doc- tor. When the flag fell Griffin rushed The Lark out in front,.joined at the quarter by Fleetwood, the two running heads apart nuntil well into the stretch, where Fleet- wood began tiring. The Lark won easily by three lengths, and Emma Mack, finish- ing strong, beat the tiring Fleetwood out three parts of a length for the place. The winner went to the post 16 to 5. Barney Schreiber’s Ursula was a 4 to5 favorite for the four and a half furlong run for two-year-olds. Outside of Midlo, the second choice, the play on the other start- ers was light. 3 After several breakaways at the post, in #wo of which Ursula tried to run away with Carr, a trick of her sire, Ben Ali, the flag fell to a good start. The favorite at once went to the front and was never headed, although she narrowly escaped being nipped at the wire by Evangeline, a Flam- bean filly carrying 9 pounds, with 10 to 1 against her, on which Chevalier came like & flash the last hundred yards, and was beaten a very short head. ‘Ouida filly was & good third. he mile and seventy-yard handicap was won by Whitestone, the top-weight, carrying three pounds overweight. He went to the dposts to 5, a slight favorite over Oakland, ridden by Griffin. The light-weight Flashlight went out and made all the running, leading Whitestone into the stretch by three lengths. Gradu- ally overhauling the lightweight, White- stone held the race safe a sixteenth from home and won tinally by a head. Ingomar well backed started out with good inten- | tions but sulked, finishing a poor third. The race was run in 1:4914, very fast, con- sidering the track, and stamps the winner as a horse that will be able to hold his own in pretty fast company this coming season in the East. MULHOLLAND.

Soon Enough is a half brother to Reno, owned by Peter Weber, but a much better- looking horse. Bookmaker Walter bet several hundred dollars on his horse Red Root, who wound up in the rear file. Fleetwood is a half brother to Oakland, owned in the same stable. The Lark is a ereatly improved horse since Sam Hildreth got hold of him. He could show fast work in his two-year-old form, and he seems to be rapidly rounding into his old-time looks and speed. One of the owners of Eventide stood to win $4000 had the filly poked her nose past the wire first. Riley Grannan put some money down on Robin Hood I while the horses were at the post. : Pittsburg Phil’s money went on Oakland in the last race. Stretch horses don’t seem to do well in muddy going.

Exciting Games at the Occidental—Prop- osition From the Champion. The large audience at the Occidental handball court last night was disappointed at not seeing the return match between Champions Riordan and Donnelly and J. C. Nealon and T. F.'Bonnet, which had to be postponed, from the fact that Nealon is suffering from the grip. A match was, however, arranged between Riordan and Tom Cashin and Bonnet and J. Feeney. It proved most exciting, and was won by Riordan and Cashin by the following score: Riordan and Cashin. 9 21 21 13 21 Bonnet and Feeney 21 11 14 21 17 The game between John Purcell, the amateur champion of the second class, and E. Maloney aroused the greatest interest. Both played with vim and good judgment, and Purcell won by the following score: Purcell. 2116 21 Malone; 14 2117 Challenges arve the order of the day. Austin Hendy and Charles Johnson of the Union court have challenged John Pur- cell and Al Hampton to play the best of nine games. The first four will be played at the Occidental court on Sunday after- noon and the concluding games at the Union court the following Sg\mdny. Pro- fessor Lynch has challenged Terry Mec- Manus to play a match, the best of five games, next Sunday afternoon at the Union court. The gro!essor was defeated by Terry last Sunday and feels sore over it. Phil Casey, champion of the world, it seems, will not visit this city unless some inducement is held outto him. E.Com- mins, the wholesale liguor-dealer, who is an old racquet and handball player, re- ceived a letter from Casey the other day, in which he says: I was thinking of taking a trip to Frisco, but it would cost too much, and Ido not seé any way to make expenses, or I would. I can play almost as well as any of your California men, &nd if they would arrange a match to play hali in Frisco and half in Brooklyn, I would visit your city ouce more. The Occidental Club will hold a meeting to-morrow night to discuss this proposition, and ir all likelihood two members of the club will be selected to go to Brooklyn to El:}y Casey and ex-Aldermann Dunne, and ring them here on their return. SOME OHOICE BILLIARDS. Schaefer and Ives Play a Match Game at the Olympie Club. The announcement that Schaefer and Ives, the great exponents of billiards, would play a match game of 300 points at the Olympic Club last evening drew a large gathering of ladies and gentlemen at' the latter place. The experts played sixteen innings, which resulted in a win for Ives, who ran out the full complement of but- tons while Schaefer scored 194 points. Ives’ highest run was 127 and Schaefer’s 83. The igntter played a more dashing and less tiresome game than his opponent, whose style of “billiards was strictly busi- ness. Some very clever shots were made by both Schaeler and Ives during the ame. g The knights of the cue finished up by giving the club members an exhibition of fancy shots, at which game they are par excellence. A large number of members left before the fancy shooting commenced. —————— Langley’s Directory has 2594 more names than the opposition. Two maps. BRITANNIA WINS THE VIGTORY. FOR THE SECOND TIME THE SWIFT AILSA MEETS A DE- FEAT. EXCITING RACE AT NICE. IN THE THIRTY-MILE COURSE THE PrRINCE OF WALES' BoaT Is THE VICTOR. NICE, Fraxce, March 27.—For the sec- | ond time during the notable yacht races | here this season the fleet Ailsa was de- feated to-day. It was in the big match race which was | declared void last Saturday by the racing | committee because the Ailsa and Britannia | crossed the line before the starting gun was | fired. | At that time the Valkyrie was also dis- | qualified for not carrying sidelights after dark.

ALL-ROUND SPORTING NEWS. Fish and Game Commissioners Hold Their First Meeting. The first meeting of the new Board of Fish and Game Commissioners was held vesterday in the Flood building. There were present: Messrs. Emeric, Morrison and Murdoch. The latter is the only re- maining member of the old board, as Red- ding and McNeil resigned purposely to give some other men prominently inter- ested in shooting and fishing an opportu- nity of handling the reins of the Fish and Game Commission. Mr. Morrison listened very attentively to Emeric and Murdoch’s talks on fishes, and when they bad finished speaking the commissioner from Sacramento suggested that it would be an excellent idea to give some attention to the game birds and ani- mals which have heretofore received acold shoulder from the commission. Emeric and Murdoch acquiesced, and the outlook for the introduction of foreign game birds m%c this ?wte is I:E\\' v%y promising. n past years the $ riati to the Fish and Game Corsabrnrs s » have resulted in very little £ood to the Btate. This time hali of the amount stated will be expended in the in- | troduction of game birds from foreign | countries. Several arrests of poachers have been made during the past month. The San Francisco Rod and Gun Club ) me Commissioners was | expended in the maintenance of fish hatch- | | eries, which CHARLES W. WELCH LACKS ONE VOTE. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FAILS TO MAKE HIM SECRETARY BY A TIE. ITSELL GIVEN A TRANSFER. LEAVES THE JOHN SWETT FOR A W ASHINGTON GRAMMAR VICE- PRINCIPALSHIP. Charles W. Welch lacked a vote of being declared the secretary of the Board of Edu- cation last night. Six Directors voted for his nomination and six against. ~Auditor Broderick sent in a communication declin- ing to honor the warrant for the salary of George Beanston, who is now holding the office. | The matter of the charges against Vice- Principal Itsell, his removal and his rein- statement under order of the court, seems to have been satisfactorily settled, since | new charges by Principal Albert Lyser were practically ignored, and Mr. Itsell was THE BRITANNIA. [The two fastest racing yachts yet built. These three speedy yachts of the large class were contestants in the race to-day. The course was triangular and was sailed over three times to complete the total dis- tance of thirty miles. There was considerable excitement at the start, but the Britannia soon secured the advantage and maintained it at every turn, winning easily by nearly 7 minutes. The Britannia covered the requisite 30 miles in 2 hours 39 minutes 9 seconds, and the Ailsa in 2 hours 46 minutes and 4 seconds. DE KAY A PROFESSIONAL.

Itis quietly reported that there is some very excellent material inthe college nine, and that unless the athletes are exceptionally good players they will receive a drubbing from the Santa Claras. On Satarday the Olympics will have an opportunity of test- ing the mettle of the nine that represents the University of California on the Berke- ley campus. Captain James Quadt of the Golden Gate Cycling Club has ordered his men out next Sunday for a spinto Haywards.

According to a letter that was received by a prominent member of the State Sportsmen’s Association yesterday from Sacramento Governor Budd will sign the new game bill to-day. Itis without ques- tion in the opinion of every prominent sportsman of this city the best game bill for the protection of game and fish that has ever passed the Legislature, and as the Governor is strongly in favor of a law that will help to increase instead of decreasing the game and fish supply of the State it goes without saying tgat he will only too willinglfi szfin the new game and fish bill now in his hands. SIGN LANGUAGE AMONG INDIANS, General Gibbon’s Story of an Incident in the Seminole War in 1849. Brigadier-General Gibbon entertained an audience recently with some reminiscences of his services among the Indians, says the Washington Star. General Gibbon's experience with the Indians commenced in the Seminole War, as far back as 1849, General Gibbon said it was remarkable how much can be told by means of sign language among people accustomed to its use. Asan instance of this he related a circumstance of the Seminole War. Hos- tilities uppeariq§ to be imminent be- tween the whites and the Seminoles, under Billy Bowlegs, their chief, it was desired to communicate with the Indians to ascertain whether it was really their purpose to go to war. It was very diflicalt to get at the Seminoles, however, and no method seemed open until one day a man came in ~from his cabin down the coast and stated that he had left there on account of his supposed danger from Indians. He had found upon his cabin door a small white flag made of heron’s wings attached to a stick. On the end of the stick were a twist of tobacco and a small string of beads. He said some In- dians had scrawled upon his door with the end of a burned stick some signs. There were three stars in a line, then a full round circle and then four more stars. These signs were interpreted to mean that °WIefl desired to have a peaceful and talk with the white men, that his messenger had been at his cabin three days before the time of the full moon, and that he would come again four days after the full moon to receive the answer of the white man. The Indians’ messenger was answered by the presence of the white men four days after the full moon, and sure enough Billy Bowlegs was on hand, a conference was had, and it was shown that the Indians did not desire to engage in a fi“eml- war, but that the outrages of which e whites complained had been committed by a few unreliable bad Indians. The French 000,000 francs, ‘my costs every year 675,- the navy m,ooo% § “ transferred from the vice-principalship of the John Swett Grammar School to that of the Washington Grammar School. The resignation of Miss Myra R. Hussey, an assistant teacher in the Emerson Pri- mary School, was tendered to the board and accepted. It takes effect April 1. A petition was received from the West Castro-street Noe Valley Improvement Club asking that the eastern limit for a school site in that district be set at Doug- lass street. The following were appointed deputy census marshals: F. W. Brown, E. C. Palmer, J. Wardell, J. A. Johnson, E. T. Tarbox, William Flannagan, W. T. Gregory, J. Q. Bernstein, C. Grosvenor, I. Danielwitz, W. P. George, H. C. Gilmour, B. F. Hanlon, E. H. Hell- man, George Buckmeister, Lee 1. Morney, Joseph Tuttle, C. T. Barrett, H. L. G03~ dard, D. Zeiner, J. F. Reilly, P. J. Gray, M.

Davis, F. A. Hovey, D. Meelker, B. P. Mallatratt, J. J. Crowley, J. V. Sullivan, James Has- lett. J. K. Murray, O. H. Bogart, T. J. Parker. The salary of chief census marshal and of chief deputy census marshal was set at $6 a day each,and the salaries of the census marshals were set at $5 a day. Following the reinstaternent of Andrew J. Itsell as vice-principal of the John Swett Grammar School on order of Judge Wallace, Albert Lyser, the principal of that school, sought to again secure Mr. Itsell’s dismissal by presenting charges to the Board of Education. Mr. Lyser charges incompetency, and unfitness as a vice-principal and inability to maintain discipline. gle asks an inves- tigation of the charges and the dismissal of Mr. Itsell from the department. The board adopted a resolution intro- duced by C. B. Stone, that consideration of the charges against Itsell be postponed till further order of the board. At alater point in the proceedings of the board the matter was adjusted through a resolution introduced by Director McEI- roy creating a second vice-principal 1n the Washington Grammar School and trans- ferring Mr. Itsell to that position. The resolution was adopted without dissent. Madison C. Babcock, Deputy Superin- tendent of Schools, entered a written com- plaint against Miss Evelyn R. Ashmead, a teacher In the South San Francisco School. The complaint declares, that Miss Ash- mead possesses no proper method of teach- ing, that she has almost no control over the pupils, and that her nervous state is such that her mind is not in a condition to teach and nianage little children. The charges will be heard on Wednes- day evening, April 23, and meantime Miss Ashmead is suspended. Margaret C. Kenzie, principal of the North Cosmopolitan School, complained of Miss L. E. Ryder,a teacher in that school, as incompetent and unable to main- tain discipline. The charges will be con- sidered at a later date. The board adopted the recommendation of the Judiciary Committee and made a rule that all charges against teachers must be preferred in writing before they could be considered, and that all teachers against whom charges were made should be enti- tled to open trials. The report of the Committee on Classifi- cation was adopted. This assigns Miss Lilly A. Toomey to a place in the cooking department under Mrs. Kate Whittaker at a salary of $60 a month. The report calls for a new class, to be formed in the former Lick Grammar School, and the rental of a room at Jersey and Noe streets at $15 a month. Miss Effie Edith Smith, day substitute, became a probationary teacher in the Po- trero Primary School. A new class is formed in the Hawthorne Primary School. Mrs. ‘Etta B. Blanchard is engaged to teach music in the S8an Francisco Normal 8chool at a lalar{lof $25 a month. Miss Mary Meaney, day substitute teacher, is appointed to a_vacancy in the ‘West-End Primary School. The following communication, signed by Auditor Broderick and dated March 27, was read: 1 respectfully desire to call your attention to the fact thatI fear I will be obliged to refuse to draw a warrant upon the !reaaur? for the salary of George Beanston as satisfaction of demand made by him for $200 as salary for the service as secretary for the month of March. If my fears should be well founded it isin my judgment my duty to ask your con- sideration of the matter so that services may not be asked, for which probably no payment can be made. The act to establish and define the powers and duties of the Board of Education of the clty and county of San Francisco, and to repeal former acts, etc., etc., approved April 27, 1863, | contains the following: 2 ; Section 10. The said superintendentis hereby authorized to appoint a clerk, subject to the approval of the Board of Education, who shall act as secretary of the board, and who shall be paid a salary to be fixed by the said board not to exceed the sum of $200 per month. The said clerk shall be subject to removal at the Pleasure of the superintendent, and shall per- lorm such duties as may be required of him by the board or the superintendent. In the case of the people against Freese, 7a Cal. 639, the decision was as follo’ k] It is claimed that the Governor did not, in fact, remove the respondent; that the state- ment in the commission, ‘vice A. C. Freese, re- moved,’ the demand of the relator to be let into possession of the office and the refusal of the defendant to comply therewith,do not | show the removal and therefore there was no vacaney to be filled. | “We think, however, that the appointment of | a successor in office when an officer is removed | at pleasure is a sufficient act of removal.”” The mere appointment of a successor would NEW TO-DAY. pLDENRY T FISHING TACKLE.

Andrew J. Moulder, Superintendent of | Sehools, referred to Auditor Broderick’s communication and declared that board was without a secretary. If the | Auditor was correct the board was in a | predicament. The warrants for teachers and 100 employes of the depar ment wouid be kept out of their wages, warrants could not be authenticated. He asked that Charles W. Welch be appointed | secretary. This brought up the old conten- | tion as fo the right of the Superintendent to name the secretary. | Director Henry T. Scott took exception | to the facts as stated by Sugmrintcndcnt‘ Moulder in_declaring that there was no sec ry. Director %hrrett moved that Mr. Welch be elected secretary, and Di- rector Ambrose seconded the nomination. The nomination was lost by a ti ayes, six noes. Directors Ambrose, Bar- rett, Carew, Clinton, Comte, Hawley voted aye, and Directors Henderson, McElroy, Murdock, Scott, Stoneand Dodge voted no. In explaining his vote Director Scott said that he had voted aye once before out of courtesy to Mr. Moulder. Director Stone explained his vote by say- ing that he would vote no until the mat- ter was settled asto the contention of the Auditor that Mr. Beanston was not the secretary and could not draw a salary. THE LAZY INVENTOR. : He Devises a Magnificent Scheme for Filling a Water Tank. “It has occurred to me many times,” ob- served Meekin, the lazy inventor, “that a lot of energy is wasted by people walking up and down stairs. Some five years ago the idea took such a hold upon me that I determined to utilize this stair energy at | least in my own house. Ilived in a street in New York City where we had tousea | force pump to fill a water tank in the top of the house so as to get sufficient pressure in the water mains. I finally decided to make my family, while ascending and de- | scending the stairs, generate sufficient | power to run a dynamo whose current | would be used to operate an electric pump | which was to fill the watertank. 1 had the stairways remgodeled, so that the | threads worked on a hinge, the front face of the threads being about two inches | higher than ordinarily, under each thread | I placed_heavy steel springs, which con- | nected with another invention of mine— | the Meekin power conservator. This ap- paratus was in harmony with the dynamo, | and the pump connected with the latter in | the usual manner. I connected up the | whole scheme, and then stood in the front | hall while my wife came downstairs, The | slanting steps were a little awkward at first, and the springy sensation wasn’t very agreeable, but anything goes in the interest of science. My wife got down all right and generated enough energy to | start things going. The children didn’t like the new steps and took to sliding down the baluster rail, which discem- moded me slightly. In the end Ifound that I would have to race up and down stairs about twice as much as usual to keep the | 3 900 | C 900 | the old thing running. My friends, too, obseryed that I was gradually acquiring a walk like a horse with the ‘stringhalt,” and 1 felt I was getting a little ‘spring-kneed.” | So I gave it up and paid a man 50 cents | every other day to furnish the water with a | handpump.”’—Electrical Review. ‘ ——————— The ancient Egyptian cats were yellow | with reddish stripes—such as are occasion- | ally seen noyadays, and called by some | Venetian cats, The cat was domesticated | in Europe shortly after the Christian era, ahd the first specimens brought into Eng- land were very highly valued ———— The annual cost of the British army is | £17,000,000; of the navy £14,000,000. | sl G Ly S LANGLEY'S DIRECTORY.
