GILEAD RUNS A FINE RACE. The Top - Heavy Favorite Don Fulano Beaten Out by Realization. Notwithstanding the fairly good card offered race-goers yesterday a feeling of dreariness and lassitude seems to have settled o’er the crowd of late, and evena close and exciting finish fails to causea ripple of enthusiasm. The mejority of the horsemen are all short of funds, and the man that goes down the linein the betting- ring these days is instantly suspected of being a train-robber who has lately turned | a trick. If the meeting continues until | July 4 the Jockey Club will have to be more liberal with complimentary tickets, for by that time one of Uncle Sam’s dollars will ook larger to race-goers than a sulky- wheel without a pneumatic tire. There was no bidding up in selling races yesterday, but there was still a smoldering smudge from Tuesday’s war. Sam Hil- dreth, who lost his horse, The Lark, in the steeplechase Tuesday, claimed that Al Stanford, the owner and rider of Hay- market, who ran second in the race, and was benefited to the extent of $450 by the run-up, offered to save the run-up money | with him. This Stanford denies, and the two owners had a hot dispute over the | matter. Hildreth went to Secretary Milroy and entered a protest sgainst. his paying the coin over to Stanford, and yesterday when the latter went to collect his money he | was informed that_its payment had been protested. If Mr. Milroy will refer to the number of the page and the line thaten- ables him to withhold this money he will confer a great favor on race-goers that have raced on many tracks and have yet to find this rule. | To me it looks like a personal matter, one that the secretary of a racetrack should | not meddle with, and the sooner it dawns | on him that his position is not one of uni- | versal arbitrator the better satisfied horse- men will be. The racing was about as lumpy as usunal of late—some of the favorites won, others | did not. A | Starter Ferguson aged himself consider- ably by keeping the field of ‘“‘goats” that started in the first race, a light welter- weight event for maidens, nearly half an | hour at the post. ‘When the flag finally fell, Mountain Air, a 20to1shot,wentout in front and staid there, | winning handily from Prince Devine. | Fleetwood finished third. Eva 8 II geld- | ing, a slight favorite over Prince Devine, | finished back with the riff-raff. | Opening at 7 to 5 Del Norte went to the | post an even money favorite for the second race, a seven furlong affair, and won hand- ily from Sir Walter, who was backed down from sixes to 3to 1. Nellie G was a poor third on which Nate Hill ‘seemed to have plenty of leisure time. Well, he had worked a half so fast that one morning his trainer, with a scared look on his face, slipped his watch into his ocket, afraid to believe his own eyes until | ie had eaten breakfast. Yet there it was, 46 seconds flat. It was the imp. Fun colt, | a giant in conformation, shaped very much | like a lager beer keg with the middle hoop | broken set on a sawhorse, that had made | thie eyes of the rail birds bulge out of their | sockets. All kinds of money went in on him yes- terday at odds of 2 to 1. Imp. Miss Brum- mel, the opening favorite, went back to 7 to 1, when her owner’s money brought | her price down to 4 to 1. At the post the imp. Fun colt didn’t know how to break, and shortly after the flag fell he was whipper-in. Marionette, an 8 to 1 chance, after getting away first, fell back to third place and again came on and won driving by a neck from Mermaid, a 15 to 1 shot. Imp. Miss Brummel was | third. The mile and a sixteenth handicap was taken by the 7 to b favorite, Gilead, after a drive, from Nebuchadnezzer, who had made all the running. Mr. Jingle wasan | ordinary third. Genette Edwarfis opened | equal fayorite with Gilead, but receded in | the betting to threes and finished last with Griffin up. Thornhill, evidently not a | favorite with the handicapper, judging by his impost, finished fourth. Don Fulano wasa real live cue yester- day, and opening at 7 to 5orthe fifth race was backed down to3to 5. Itwasa five and a half furlong spin with but four starters. Brodhead opened favorite, but receded in the betting when the ‘“‘edu- cated” money began pouring in. The Don was full of run, but Brodhead and he raced themselves to death the first art of it, and when Bob Isom came at the on with Realization he could not respond and was beaten out a neck.

Clacquer was third, but a neck away. Bookmakers would inspire more confi- dence in their horses if they would hold them out in their books, which is very seldom the case.

Four of Barney Schreiber’s horses leave to-day for Los Angeles to take part in the races there during the La Fiesta celebra- tion. Jockey Hinrichs also starts this morning for the southern metropolis. Halifax was backed down from 50 to 1 to sixesin the first race. By Holly’s money helped to make the cut. George Rose bet Abe Levy a $1000 on the imp. Fun colt. * The Pleasanton stable lately lost by lung fever their old sulker, Adolph. The Miss Metford colt was well backed at a short price to win the two-year-old event. Hinrichs, who had the mount on Banjo, says he won the race by a neck. Fifty te one was laid against the musical horse. H. Forsland, a friend of Al Stanford, the steeplechase rider, and Frank Taylor, the partner of Sam Hildreth, got to discussing the steeplechase, in which The owned by Hildreth, was bid up at the conclusion of the last race gesterday. dand the argument became so heated that it finally ended in a slogging match. Before either of the combatants became battered beyond recognition Colonel Chinn stepped in and stopped the affair. Honors were easy at the Eeginning of the affair, but as the battle waged the tide of betting turned in favor of Forsland. Sam Hildreth is said to have offered Stanford, who owns and rides Haymarket, $20 yesterday to step outside the racetrack ?"dé’e battered up. Stanford politely re- used. Mr. Hildreth has been doing a good deal of croaking ever since he lost The Lark in the selling run Tuesday, claiming that Stanford agreed to save the run-up money with him if either of their horses should be bid up. The proposition was well made on his part surely, for his horse went to the post a top-heavy favorite, looking like a leadpipe, while Haymarket, owned by Stanford, was a 12 to 1chance. The Youn owner of Haymarket offered Hildret $225, half of the run-up money, but the offer was refused, and now Mr. Hildreth has the pollywogs. He claims to have got the worst of the deal, but no more so than the public that have placed their money on his horses since the beginning of the meeting.

The Aquatic Event in Which the Various Clubs of the Bay Citles Are Deeply Interested. The rowing clubs of the Amateur Row- ing Association of this coast are now in strict training for the May regatta, which gives promise of being the most interest- ing feature in the way of aquatic sport that has been introduced on the waters of this bay in many years. The grand and manly sport of rowing has been neglected for a long time on this coast, but now that the young element has infused new life and spirit into the pas- time it is safe to predict that aguatic sports will take their place alongside other pastimes which have recently sprung into popularity. 'he South End Rowing Club and the Olympic Rowing Club have taken upon their shoulders the task of popularizing aquatic sports, and it goes without saying that when two such strong organizations will take this rather difficult matter in hand the future of bost‘mg pastimes may be adjudged bright, indeed. Entry blanks for the May 30th regatta bave been mailed to the different clubs of the association. The races, of which there are three in number, will be for the ama- teur championship of the coast. The distinction ~ between the senior and f‘nnior classes is taken from the aws of the rowing association of the Amateur Athletic Union of Amer- ica, but as this will be the first row- ing event held here under the sanction of that association the regatta committee is of the opinion that this fiisfincfion cannot be strictly enforced. > Nine crews have signified their intention of entering in the barge races, and judging from the number of amateur single-s now connected with the various clubs of the coast there should be at least fifteen entries. A third prize will be given in the single-scull contest wvided the number of entries shall justify such_action, but no second prize wifl be given in any race in which there will not be at least four starters. Entries will close on May 15 with the regatta committee of the South End Row- ing Club, but the latter is in hopes that the entries will be sent in as early as possible 50 as to give the committee an opportunit; of regulating matters to suit its conveni- ence and that satisfaction to all entrants can be guaranteed. HANDBALL AND RACKETS. Interesting Games Played at the Occi- dental Court. The Occidental Handball Court was crowded asusual last night, alarge number of ladies being among those present.

Hahnemann’s Birthday Suit- ably Commemorated in This City. EXERCISES AT THE COLLEGE. A Poem and Address Eulogistic of the Scientist’s Life and Work. The one hundred and fortieth anniver- sary of the birth of Samuel Hahnemann, the scientist and father of homeopaths_', was celebrated at the Hahnemann Hospi- tal College yesterday. The lecture-hall at the college was taste- fully decorated with flowers. On the wall | above the rostrumi was the portrait of | Hahnemann, artistically decorated with smilax and lilacs. The hall was filled with professors and students. The dean, Dr. Currier, presented as poet of the day, Dr. French, who pre- faced his original poem, ‘“Hahnemann, with a beautiful little gem. Following are stanzas from the doctor’s poem: In temples new he walked serene, Where foot of mortal ne'er had & And from uniathomed mystery He wrought the fruitage of & god. ©Out of the tomb of rayless night, Where groping love for ages wept, A gtar of primal magnitude thwart life’s opening sky he swept. On, crime of deep ingratitude, ‘That gift 50 rare we cheaply hold; And trath inscribed in human blood We sacrifice to greed of gold. The poem was followed by the introdue- tion of Dr. William Boericke, who delivered an address upon the life, teachings and benificent works of Hahnemann. In speaking of him he said: This great medical reformer was born to lead—sa giant far removed from the pygmies of the century. In commemorating this anni- | versary we ' leave for the time being the common-place level of our professional life and gain strength and inspiration for the work that has devolved upon us as his disciples—the work of continuing the develop- ment of the homeopathie healing art. Among those present were: Dr. J. M. Eckel, president of the college; Dr. C. B. Currier, dean; Dr. George . Martin, secretary; Dr. James E. Ward, Dr. James E. Lilienthal; Dr. E. R. Bryant, Dr. Can- ney, Dr.Jenks, Dr. William N. Lamb, Dr. Eleanor Martin and Dr. Bertha M. E. ‘Wagner. Homeopathists’ Banquet. The following members of the faculty of the Hahnemann Hospital College assem- bled at a banquet tendered them by the president, Dr. J. M. Eckel, at his residence, 324 Geary street, yesterday evening. Drs. C. B. Currier, William Boericke, James E. Lilienthal, George H. Jenks, H. C. French, E. P. Bryant, C. L. Tisdale, F. C, Peterson, George H. Martin, Guy E. Manning, J. A, Albertson and the host, J. N. Eckel. Dr. Eckel introduced the gayeties of the evening with the announcement that ‘‘while the faculty advocates homeog;tby, allopathy in partaking of the viands will rule the proceedings,” and Dr. Martin de- livered a resume oi the lifework of the founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahne- | mann, who advocated kind measures in all treatment, and_believed eyen that the insane should not be subjected to restraint. LIKE PRIMITIVE MAN. Natives of New Guinea Low in Civiliza- tion’s Scale. Like primitive man the Papuans live, and like American savages they adorn themselves. Their women are, to be sure, putting palmleaf skirts around them, now that England, through its trade-seeking merchants, is taking some interest in that far-off and hitherto little known country, but the warriors—the males who do not fight—still cling to the primeval habits of nature in the matter of dress. Sir William McGregor, K.C.M.G., %to whom England and the English-speaking world is indebted for nearly all of the re- cent knowledge of British New Guinea, is now visxtin% ngland preparatory to start- ing on another tour of exploration—‘in- spection” he prefers to call it. The Illus- trated London News has interviewed him about his plans and his past experiences. Much ofp the country of New Guinea, it seems, is mountainous, and most of ir William’s explorations were carried on at a height of from 10,000 to 13,000 feet above sea level. Between the Cingalese and the Papuans —the least civilized to-day certainly, of South Sea natives—there must naturally be a wide gulf fixed. It hasbeen thought a wise thing, in managing the Papuans, to investigate and comprehend their tradi- tions, customs and ways of life gbnerally. A general line of custom runs through the people, but that line is subject to all man- ner of variations. Polygamy is common { and is based on the theory that the more wives a man has the more comfortable he will be. The de- scription of the marriage customs in one division of the territory would seem to in- dicate that the “‘advanced woman’’ is not necessarily a product of the highest civili- zation. In that part the Papuan woman takes the initiative, sending for the man ot her choice, who comes and takes heraway. Her relatives organize a demonstmation, and demand in reurn a sister of the bride- room for a wife toa youth of their family. §‘bus it is a case of fair exchange, but it is surely barter when, if there is no available sister, a payment in currency— shark’s teeth, say—is taken as substitute. ——— KIND TO YOUNG PEOPLE. ‘Whittier Was Always Willing to Give His Autograph. Among all the great personages whose autographs have been sought after none gave his with more kindness and compre- hension of the attitude of the asker than did our Quaker poet, says a writer in the New York Press. A young lady who had never seen him and who neither had nor was she likely to have any opportunity to proffer her request uniess she made such opportunity re- solved to secure his autograph. It hap- pened one delightful autumn day, when he was on his way to the mountains. The laden train drew up at a junction. As Mr. Whittier' alighted from 'his car and, with the alertness of movement that al- most to the very last distinguished him, made his way to his exchange, a young lady forced her way through the crowd. “Are you Mr, ittier?”’ she mquired. breathlessly. The poet assented. ‘‘Then w?’t you Ilease write your name in my album?®”’ And she held out her book, open at the desired page. The dark eyes flashed with a keen amuse- ment and passed swiftly from the puffing train—his train, on which in another mo- ment the bell would ring and from which the conductor was already crying “All aboard !”—to the eager and entreating face of the speaker. He appreciated the situa- tion, and he liked her pluck. He was will- ing enough to write his name. But where was the pen? He flashed his glance about. the station, that glance which took in everything, and then, with the young lad; in tow, he hurried up to_the telegrapl office, seized a pen, dashed off his auto- graph, walked swiftly to his train and in another minute was whirled onward, ’:iut;'ohinfinl:c‘ld c‘!lmlck}iin to himself at the ctory he elpe e enterprising a plicant to win. 3 i S ——————— Aluminum in Wall Paper.

Hindoo Ideas of the Future of the Wicked. It is a mystery to enlightened Western nations how the Hindoos ever managed to evolve such a frightfully e;aggented idea of hell—as much of an enigma, perhaps, as our fantastic ideas of the infernal regions will be to the more enlightened races of the coming ages, says the New York (_Bonu_nex- cial Advertiser. The Hindoos believe in a plurality of hells, 136 in all. This gigantic apartment house, which has been eupem.nlly prepared for the souls of the damned, is of unthinkable length and breadth, Pnd has walls more than 100 miles in thickness. The intense heat of the interior keeps these walls at a_white heat, and through their many loopholes shines light of such intense brightness that it bursts the eye- balls of all who look in that direction, ‘even though they be removed from the fires by a distance of 400 leagues.” As each soul is taken from one apart- mentto the other it is invariably met by Yamaki, the Hindo Pluto, an exaggerated devil 240 miles high, who has hairs on his body which stand out_like palm trees. In each of these subdivisions the tortured one is treated to something new and unique in the line of misery. Inone he has his toe and finger nails plucked out, and the empt; sockets which formerl: held his eyes fil le with melted wax, and then has hornsin- serted in the places which in other days were occupied%y the organs of vision. In another heis forced to have his teeth pulled and heated to a white heat, and is then compelled to swallow them along with large ?uantihes of pepper-cakes and boil- figure, says the ing o —————— A Wooden Railw: An interesting illustration of what a plucky community can do in the way of helping itself where more conservative folks would fold their hands and wait for something to turn up comes trom Florida. The people of two cities agreed that a transportation line connecting them across a sandy and nearly level tract of country would bea common advantage; but they wer e not rich and 1t was found impossible to raise the funds for laying the road. But they formed a company and held a meet- ing for the further discussion of ways and means. A director said that metal was not the only thing that rails could be made of and he proposed that they should con- struct the road of wood. Each property- owner along the right of way could con- tribute his share of wooden rails and the company could see to the rest. The idea was immediately taken up, and it was de- cided to construct the road. The wood rails are to be large enough to be laid so that they will be half imbedded in the sand without other ballast. They will be held in position by wooden pins two inches in diameter am{eighteen inches long, while the ends will be connected by blank coup- lers placed underneath and pinned down. Although the line will be forty miles long, not a pound of metal will be used in the laying of the track. Itis calculated that the vegetable and passenger business be- tween the two cities will soon make the line a paying concern, and, as soon as the road can afford it, steel rails will take the place of the wooden ones, which will be used for ties. A small steam-dummy will furnish power, and the line will soon be in operation. e The Patagonians are the tallest people in the world and the Laplanders the short- est.
