The talent as usual set the pins up in the alley yesterday and the accommodating bookies bowled them over. Donna lotta in the opening event and honest little Arnette in the fourth race were the only | two favorites that proved true to the trust imposea in them. | he bookmakers did a fairly good busi- ness, even if not_troubled with any very | weighty bets. S8ilver to a great extent has | taken the place of gold, and most of the f)reenbacks were sent oh to_New York by | ave Gideon and Pittsburg Phil. | The two-year-olds opened up proceed- ings. W. O’B. Macdonough’s Donna Car- | lotta was sent to the post a 11 to 5 favorite, but the play was by no means confined to | _ the daughter of St. Carlo, as Spry Lark, |° Queen, Virgie A and Eventide were all | well backed. After running fairly well bunched into | the stretch the race narrowed down toa | duel between Donua Carlotta. Eventide and Senator Mahoney, in which the first | pamed was successful by a wink, with Eventide second, a head in front of Sena- tor Mahoney. Centurion disposed of the very ordinary lot pitted afininst him in the second race, over six furlongs, in a very polished man- ner, going to the post 3 to 1,and leading from start to finish. Tobey, & 10 to1 shot, was second, a head away, three parts of a length in front of Favory. A short six-furlong run, light welter- weights, was next in order. From twos Seraphin was <mekly backed to 7 to5. The ga]ance of the play was divided up be- tween the Experiment geldingand Ledette filly. | &raphin, followed by Experiment geld- ing, headed the field all the way ahd fought it out to the wire. BSeraphin, who bt‘? been leading, was vassed the last eighth by Experiment gelding and beaten out a long neck. Ledette filly, poorly rid- den, was third. The fourth race, full six furlongs, was stepped off in a light and fantastic man- ner by Billy Donathan’s Arnette. The dainty little Midlothian Miss, startinga 7 to 5 favorite, led all the way and won, ulled up to a walk, in 1:15%. In adrive uchess of Milpitas beat Venus, backed from 10 to 5 to 1, a nose for the place. The next favorite, however, was not such a decided success. The race, a six- furlong run_also, was considered about right for Lady Jane, and she went to the t 11 to 5. Later a strong play on Mary S sent her to the post at about the same fig- ure. Sympathetic’s Last was also the medium of some tall playing. The owner of Ricardo, & poor man, endeavored with ill success to get some of the moneyed men to back his horse, and he went to the post 8to 1. The Judge and Lady Jane headed the | field until nearing the stretch, when Ri- cardo’s colors began looming up. Straight- ened for home the Jatter took the lead, and won galloping by two lengths from Nellie G. Ladf' Jane finished third. After a long let-up Installator was made alto 2 favorite for the lastrace on the card at seven furlongs, but receded in the betting, and even money was later obtain- able. Heclosed a 7 to 10 chance. After leading to the turn down the backstretch Malo Diablo headed him and cantered in front the entire way, winning by two lengths from Mr. Jingle, the second choice. Inkerman was an uniuury third.. The favorite was beaten before turning into the stretch, but as he is one of the best horses in Mr. Boot’s string, the race can be taken as no criterion of what he is capable of ac- complishing, and he will undoubtedly be heard from later on.

A’'CYCLING ANNEX ORGANIZED A Record of Happenings In Local Amateur Photographic Circles. There is an awakening in local amateur photographic circles foreshadowing the lively interest which will be taken in pho- tographic art this coming summer. Ata meeting called for the purpose on April 18 there was organized a cycling annex to the California Camera Club, to be known as the Camera Club Cyclists. Membership will be confined to the active, associate and subscribing members of the California Camera Club. The first meeting of the new organiza- tion will be held at-the clubrooms, Thurs- day evening, May 2. The initial “ran’ of the club is called for next Sunday, the 28th inst., to Haywards from Fruitvale. Among those who have caught the prevailing cycling craze are many lady photogra- phers. For the benefit of these itis con- siderately announced that ‘“‘a slow pace will be set and maintained throughout the entire run.” Lunch will be partaken of at Haywards. The suggestionis made that only hand cameras Pe used on this, the first outing of the club cyclists. The ar- rangements for the excursion are in the hands of J. J. B. Argenti, captain; W. E. Goodrum, first lieutenant, and Harry B. Hosmer, second lieutenant. There is yet another jolly time in store for the Camera Club boys, in which their friends of either sex who may be non- members will be allowed to participate. Captain Leale of the tug Caroline, an old friend of theirs, has extended an invita- tion to them for next Saturday to cruise round the bay. The steamer will leave Jackson-street wharf at10:15 A. ». and will return about 5. x. A dark room will be fitted up on the boat,for the purposes of plate and film changing. Lunch will be eaten on board, and as there isa large fleet of ships on_the bay at present some good pictures will undoubtedly be secured. Marine scenery possesses great attractions for the amateur. The light is quick—al- most too quick, in fact—and not easily controlled. ~ Slow piates, combined wit| rapid shutters and small stops, are necessi- ties. A new process paper has made its n})— pearance in the city, and is being largely used by amateurs. " It has a matt surface with a platinum tone, but can also be worked }or the warm colors admired by some. Pure whites are mentioned as a good feature of the new paper. Miss Green is mainly devoting her atten- tion to interiors and flashlights, both diffi- cult branches of the art to pursue success- fully. Those who have seen her work, however, say it is well worthy of exhibi- tion. Harry B. Hosmer is experimenting with the Thornton-Picard focal-plane shutter, much to the surprise of his friends, who are acquainted with his prejudice for things English. He says, however, that for certain classes of work other shutters are “‘not in it.” The arrangement is_what 15 known as a ‘“blind’”’ one, and Edgar Pickard, the inventor of the apparatus, re- cently exhibited at a London photographie society negatives taken at a speed of 1-500 Hosmer is one of the crack photographers of the United States, good results should follow his use of the instrument, which he has attached to an 8x10 box. William 8. Hochstadter is continuing with portrait work, of which he is an ardent student. He proposes to experi- ment upon celerite paper, which gives brown, black and sepia tones. He will re- port results later. H.T. Hemming is having a box made under the superintendence of H. B. Hos- mer. The great feature of the production will be that the lens will be made to do double duty. It will be made to focus and to act as a finder. Up to the present this has been done by the somewhat clumsy {)rincip]e of a double camera, with two enses of identical focus. Itisa fact well known in optics that these are very diffi- cult to obtain, and the new camera will, therefore, be hailed with interest, as it utilizes the “‘reflector” idea. IO THE WHEELMEN, The Olympics Will Banquet the Eastern Racers To-Night. The Imperial Cycling Club’s Elec« tion—Is Osen Again Sus- pended? The Olympic Club Wheelmen will ban- quet the departing Eastern racers to-night at a local hostelry. The Falcon team, consisting of Ziegler, Coulter and Har- bottle, with trainers Tellam and Foster, leave for the East Thursday. The Colum- bia team, Bald and Macdonald, with Trainer Asa Windle, will ride at Oakland on May 1, and possibly at Santa Rosa on May 8, 9 and 10. They will then go to Los Angeles; thence to Denver and the East, arriving at Waltham about May 30. The Imperial Cycling Club held a meet- ing last night and elected the following eleven directors: J. 8. Egan, E. C. Doug- las, C. H. Dannals, A. D. Stealey, J. J. Mc- Donald, H. W. Eisert, J. F. Burns, W. W. Earle, W. Wilson, W. H. Tooker and J. H. Millert. They will meet shortly and elect officers and arrange for the incorporation of the club. William T. Johnson was elected captain. W. A. Burke and C. M. Castleman, the Los Angeles racers, will try for records at San Jose next Saturday, the former for short distances and the latter for the twenty-five mile record. A rumor was current yesterday to the effect that Oscar Osen was again suspended by the league. No reason was assigned and the local racing board hasnot been notified. Roma E. Dow, a fast class A rider of San Jose, has been notified that he will be put into class B unless he can satisfactorily ex- plain how he happens to be on the Ariel team. A big eycling parade will be held in Oak- land next Tuesday night, and races the fol- lowing day for the benefit of Fabiola Hos- Bitnl. All the principal riders who rode at an Jose last week will compete. . J. Edwards has announced his per- manent retirement from the track, as he wishes to pursue his studies. The Ram- bler team has been disbanded, with the exception of Foster and Jones. Wells will not go east, as has been reported. At a meeting called for the furpose, held Thursday evening, April 18, 1895, there was perfected the organization of a cxcling annex to the California Camera Club, to be known as the Camera Club Cyelists. The membership will be confined to the active, associate and subscribing members of the California Camera Club. There is no initation fee and the dues are 25 cents a month, payable quarterly, in advance. Every member of the California Camera Club, whether owning a wheel or not, is cordlul&inviwd to join the annex. The officers of the Camera Club Cyclists are Charles A. Adams, president; Mrs. A. G. McFarland, vice-president; C.Cormack, secretary; H. C. Cantwell, treasurer; J.J. B. Ar%rm, captain; W. E. Goodrum and H. B. Hosmer, lieutenants. A POINT DECIDED. Judge Seawell Overrules a Demurrer in the Spreckels Case. Judge Seawell yesterday overruled a de- murrer interposed by the Oceanic Steam- ship Company to the action brought by C. A. Spreckels to compel the directors of the company to hold an annual meeting. The issue was raised that the writ should not have been issued against the directors of the company, but the shareholders. Judge Seawell held that as amended the com- plaint showed a ground of action, and oven-uun'g‘ the demurrer gave the de- fendants five days in which to answer.

Advice of a Sculptor Given on the Sub- Ject. ““The famous man, if he expects to have his memory perpetuated in 8 monument after hisdeath,”’said a well-known sculptor, “‘should eitherleave orders with his family or his executor for adeath maskor else should have such photographs made of himself as will enable the sculptor to re- produce his head with something akin to realism. Photographs are most deceptive, anyway, but if he will have an exact pro- file and an exact full face made the sculp- tor will be able to make a fairly faithful likeness. Not one prominent man out of ten ever has two such pictures. Usually the celebrity has all of his pictures made from one pose, partly because a certain pose is favorable to him and partly be- cause a number of poses are not so likely as one to place his face firmly on the minds of the public. In consequence the sculptor is placed at the greatest disad- vantage. Although he may make his bust look like the sugjcet from one point of view—the ;)ho(ographer'! point of view— when the friends of the subject see it all around—now a form and not a picture— they declare that it does not reesmble the original at all,” says the New York Press. “‘A death mask costs anywhere from $10 t0 §25, and certainly anybody who expects that statues will be erected in his honor by future generations can afford that. Itis much more common to have a death mask taken now than formerly. Butit is gen- erally his friends and not the great man himself who orders one, The death masks of Lincoln and Napoleon have preserved exactly for us the features of these two im- mortals, Without them we should always have been in the dark as to the real shape of their heads.” SE 109:9 by SW 77, block 2, $100. - Hpw to Dodge the Microbe. A philosopher has been saying that the main discovery of modern times is that man was made for the microbe. The two elementary principles in connection with it appear to be, first, those things that are wholesome communicate disease ; secondly, those things that are unwholesome cause disease. So air, water, milk, butter, oys- ters, mussels, watercress, foreign fruit and even the harmless, pleasing kiss are all capable of conveying infection. 5 oreover, cabs, dogs, cushions in rail- way carriages, shaying at barber-shops, clothes from the tailors, washing from the laundry, bank notes, books, glasses at restaurants, mud on one’s clothes or dther mediums for the distribution of disease. Civilized man, then, may only expect to live an average term of life by continuous immersion in boiling water, accompanied by abgolute isolation. Beyond that, what- ever he eats, drinks, wears or touches should be boiled before he comes in close contact with them. It is remarkable that our predecessors thrived, despite the cternal, though, at the time unascertained laws of science. Is civilization a failure? Perhaps not; but the good die young and the tough citizen lives to commit crimes and bring civilization to disgrace.—New Orleans Picayune, [T WAS NOT ST, HUBEAT, He Had No Connection With the Affair at Mountain View. MISTAKEN IDENTITY AGAIN. The San Jose Deputy Sheriffs Wrong In Saying He Was Saunders. Captain Chamon de St. Hubert of 1206 O’Farrell street returned Monday from Los Angeles. He is greatly annoyed that his name should have been connected with a mysterious and not very creditable affair that took place near Mountain View on the 1ith inst. The story, which was published exten- sively by the city and coast papers, was in brief to this effect: A man registered at a hotel at Mountain View under the name of W. Saunders, 1206 O’Farrell street, San Francisco. He went into the country to Mr. Heney’s place, where he was met by two men who claimed to be officers with a warrant for his arrest. Saunders was handcuifed and taken into ‘Wagner’s barn by his captors. When Wagner went into the barn a little later Saunders and the other men had gone. The statement was published on the strength of assertions by the San Jose Deputy Sheriffs, who made an investiga- tion, that Saunders and Captain Hubert were one and the same person, and that their mysterious actions were to perpetrate a fraud upon somebody. Captain Hubert last evening explained all of his movements before and after the affair of Saunders and the two men. He said: On Tuesday morning, April 9, T sailed by the steamer Santa Rosa for Los Angeles, where I arrived on Thursday morning at 9 o’clock. On Sunday, the 7th, I was at Mountain View at about 10 o’clock. I hired a buggy from the stable. I went to the Heney vineyard, when, after testing the wine, I returned fo Mountain Vlew, put up the team and paid the owner 5 1 was then conducted to the Delmas vineyard by Mr. Delmes’ coachman in his carriage. After transacting some business I was driven back to town by the same coachman and took z;h: ;}’. M. train for San Francisco, arriving at I know nothing whatever of the alleged out- rage committed on Saunders, At the time Saunders was said to have been assaulted by two men Iwas on the ocean on my way to Los Angeles. I don’t know this man Saunders Nor any one in the affair as was published in the newspapers. My daughter gcfitampanied 1¢ on my trip to Los Angeles and ack. When I returned on last Monday morning I found my family greatly distressed on account of the false statements that had been published concerning me. My wife telegraphed for me to return to my home and refute the unjust and unjounded charges. Captain Hubert has lived for the past fif- teen years in San Jose and San Francisco. During the past six years he has consid- ered this city as _his "home. Nearly all of his life he has followed the wine business, and is considered by the business commu- nity as one of its most reputable mer- chants. He isat aloss to understand how_his pame became mixed up in any such affair as that which occurred in Santa Clara County. “In one report it is stated that Saunders registered at the hotel in Moun- tain View, giving his address as 1206 0’Far- rell street, San Francisco. I did not regis- ter when I went to the hotel,” said Captain Hubert. “I do not know of any enemies I may bave in Santa Clara County who would furnish the press with such information. The newspapers were sadly imposed upon by some one and I will not rest until I have reached the bottom facts.” A HERO OF FRENCH CULTURE. M. Bertrand of the Paris Academy of Science Honored. It is a singular fact that the Paris Acad- emy of Science, which was established in 1666 on the pattern of the London Royal Institution, founded in 1660 by Charles IT, is governed under quite different princi- ples. In London the chairman is nom- inated for his hfetime, and the secretaries are appointed every year. In Parisa new member is passed every year through the chairand the secretaries are styled per- petual, says the London Graphic. One of the secretaries now in office is M. Joseph Bertrand, a celebrated writer and scientist, who was nominated a member of the Academy in 1856 and a perpetunal see- retary in 1874, His scientific life seems destined to cover an extraordinary space of time. He exhibited such a precocity of intellect thatat the ageof 11 he passed successfully his examination for admit- tance as a pupil of the Polytechnic School ; his real admission was postponed up to 16 only in compliance with the regulations. Now, at the age of 72, he is giving daily proofs of the youth of his mind and the excellence of his health. As showing the variety of his faculties and occupations it is sufficient to state that in 1884 he was nominated, almost unopposed, a member of the Academie Francaise. M. Bertrand, who is one of the greatest leaders of French cultare, has just been the hero of an interesting ceremon{. After the common routine of the weekly meet- ings of the Academy had been proceeded with, M. Darboux, a clever analyst and a Sarbonne professor, rose. He explained that the gupils and admirers of M. Ber- trand had raised n&)ublic fund for present- ing him with a gold medal in commemo- ration of the fiftieth anniversary of the first lecture delivered by him to the pupils of the Polytechnic School. The speaker then moved from his place, and, proceeding toward the chair, handed to M. Bertrand—whose seat is on the left of the chairman—a valuable medal bearing his portrait. The likeness is wonderfull; good, a fact which is due to the skill of ) Chaplain, a member of the Academy of Beaux Arts, a medalist to whom France is indebted for an almost incredible number of sculptural commemorations of scientific or political events. M. Bertrand returned thanks in a few sentences, in which he tried ineffectually to conceal his profound emotion, and the whole assemblage broke into a burst of applause. e AMERICAN BARDLETS. What an English Critic Says of Ameri- ean Poetry-Makers. With *‘Transatlantic Bardlets” as his headline a writer prefaces some rather savage criticism of several books of verse recently published in America with follow- ing lively remarks, says the London Re- view: They are uncommonly like the English poetlings, these transatlantic bardlets, but there are more of them. This is‘not be- cause the States are less poetical than the mother count but because they have more people. oreover, ‘‘culture” is gen- erally held in high esteem there, and to appear in print is an undoubted mark of having obtained it—just as a university degree is a proof among the English mid- dle classes of its proud possessor’s right to be regarded as a scholar and a gentle- man. “‘But if the authorship of a book is a cer- tificate of taste and reading, it becomes a diploma in honors when that book con- sists of metrical matter. Now about 75 per cent of modentell); educated persons can write lines which sometimes scan, often rhyme, and occasionally make sense, and a painfully large proportion of these are impelled to establish their characters in the eyes of their neighbors by the pub- lication of these so-called verses. Afime . 1 | | gists and Dealers. money or the power of deluding a pub- lisher’s reader, a simple tribe, is all that is needed. It must be added that at times the ‘“‘poems’ are a genuine trade success, as are in England, for instance, the inno- cent maunderings of Sir Edwin Arnold and Mr. Lewis Morris—a fact which en- courages scores, nay, hundreds of other ambitious and avaricious rhymesters to emulate the lucky men. “In the States, too, they have their dear little cliques of mutual admirers, like our fair brotherhood of the Rhymers’ Cluband the Bodley Head, who generously praise | one another’s songs—which they read (or neglect to read) in presentation copies— an% they thus maintain one another’s spirit or a little butter. And then, of course, there are always one’s aunts, and sisters, aud wives, and that sort of thing. There are more of these in the United States than here; hence there is more minor poetry.”” e Small Loss of Life. The close of the war between China and Japan, now apparently at hand, makes an estimate of the loss of life quite interest- ing. Mr. Matsu, secretary of the Japanese Legation in Washington, has made a cal- culation which shows that the Japanese have had 912 killed and 2061 wounded. The Chinese loss is about 8000, not includ- ing the wounded, but the fact is that the reports in the dispatches regarding the casualties to the Chinese are not reliable, and they probably really lost twice as many as Mr. Matsu has figured out, says the Washington Post. The loss on’ both sides, however, is small, considering that the war extended over eight months. The Chinese were running most of the time, otherwise - the results, so far as their armies are concerned, would have been far more disastrous. —————— She Reasoned It Out. There is a very clever small girl in Eng- land who reasons out a great many things for herself, and who cannot be deceived, as many other small girls are, by things that are told them “for fun.” Having been told by one of her aunts that the moon was made of green cheese, she immediately SDI:th out her grandfather, to whom she said: ‘““Aunt J. says the moon is made out of green cheese, but I don’t believe it.” “And why not?”” asked her grandfather. ‘‘Because I’ve been reading in the Bible, and it proves the moon ain’t made of green cheese, because thé moon was made before the cows was.”’—Harper’s Young People.
