HYMN A SPEEDY SPRINTER Bookmaker Rose's Horses Empress of Norfolk and Rear Guard Both Win Races. The sixth race was declared off. Bookmaker Nick Hall thought the Gyvsette gelding good enough to win the third race. Ed Purier backed Gold Bug to win the third race, but wound up matters by plugging Rear Guard all over the ring.

A New Diamond Fleld to Be Lald Out on the Old Race- track. The proposed extension of Railroad ave- nue from Bighteenth avenue to the Five- mile House is a matter in which the Market-street Railway Company is as much interested as the people who own land along the line of the proposed im- provement. The Southern Pacific Com- pany owns ninety acres of land where the Bay View Racetrack was formerly. Twenty 2o this was a favored resort of the old-time San Franciscans, who used to ride out over the San Bruno road to the clubhouse, which was practically a fash- ionable w. e hotel. Many people purchased land at Bay View, believing that the residence part of the city would extend from Rincon Hill They were doomed to d pointment, for Butchertown with its nasty odors acted as a barrier even before the tide turned that way. The fail- ure of the Bay View Racetrack crushed all their hopes, and the lands were sold to a few who had the money to buy. The use of electricity will put Bay, View in touch with the central parts of the City, and among the first moves in this direc- tion is the tearing down of the old club- house, which was begun yesterday. The purpose of tearing down this old landmark s understood to be that something better d more profitable may be erected in its place. In all probabilities the buildings, grand stand, etc., of the Haight-street baseball grounds will be erected on the site of the old clubhouse and Bay View racetrack. ‘When the ball grounds were arranged at the end of the Haight-street branch of the {arket-street cable-road it was at the ex- sense of the streetcar company, which was simply furnishing amusement for the peo- le in order to create travel for the road. be decline of baseball and the increased value of the property made the main- tenance of the grounds unprofitable, Be- sides after the combine went into effect and the attractions of the park and ocean were increased there was no necessity of further efforts to draw travel to the west. In order to obtain the patronage of the created in some other part of the City and as a result large baseball grounds will be laid out at Bay View. By the swift electric cars the place is about a twenty-five minutes’ ride from Market and Third streets. Another line runs out the San Bruno road close to the grounds. It is a branch of the Omnibus line. It has been stated that the horsecar line extension from Army and Twenty- sixth streets is also to be converted into an ctric line. Thus the new ball grounds will be within twenty minutes’ ride from both ends of the more thickly settled parts of the City. It is understood that the electric line that runs from the foot of Third street to Eighteenth avenue,South San Francisco, is not bringing in as many nickels as the company desire, and it is for the purpose of increasing travel on its cars that the ex- tension of Railroad avenue and the open- ing of the ball grounds is projected. ————— OSEN A PROFESSIONAL. He Is Expelled From the League of American Wheelmen. By a unanimous vote of the National racing board of the League of American Wheelmen Oscar Osen of San Jose has been declared a professional, and is ex- pelted from membership in the league. All amateurs are warned against compet- ing with him. Osen isa member of the Garden City Cyclers. Last November he visited Phoenix, Ariz., and on Thanksgiv- ing day competed in several races there. He was quite successful, and among other prizes won two town lots in Pheenix. These he afterward sold, and for this breach of the amateur racing rules he was suspended by the league and has now been expelled. 'or competing in unsanctioned races at Oakland on April 26 Thomas Hayselden and Joseph Mahoney, of Oakland, have been suspended from the track for thirty days from that date. Sanctions for holding bicycle races have been granted by the league as follows: May 7, Ancient Order Foresters of America at San Jose. May 30, Sons ot St. George, San Jose. June 25, Pacific Coast Circle North Ameri- can Turnerbund, Los Angeles. On May 26 a race of twenty-five miles between wheelmen who are in the employ of business firms of the City will take place over the San Leandro course, and it goes without saying that it will be a most inter- esting event. Five men representing re- ectively the firmsof Dunham & Carrigan, aker & Hamilton, Neustadter Bros. and Levi Strauss & Co., will enter into the competition for a valuable cup, and a try- out among the leading cyclists of the firms will be held in a few days to discern who the men will be to compose the teams rep- resenting each of the aforesaid firms. So far as ascertained, the wheelmen who will don the colors of the Neustadter firm are: A, Mohoney, J. Ballon, M. Ballon, L.W. Neustadter, W. Stettheimer and E. C. Mc- Farland. Levi Strausswill be represented by J. F. Cunningbham, G.James, H, Gar- celon, H. P. Fischer, C.J. Leighton and George Bush. Dunham & Carrigan have not made their selections for the try-out as yet, but the crackerjack road scorchers of the firm will be chosen to-morrow by Captain Howard Coflin, who states most emphatically that his team is bound to win ‘“hands down,” and that is saying a great deal for a man of his name. ’Jghe Baker & Hamilton riders will be selected this week. This race is causing no end of talk in business circies and thereis no doubt that all business records in the wheely way will be knocked into smither- eens on May 26. e ———— Made Their Escape. ARE GOING T0 THE DOGS Opening Day of the Pacific Kennel Club’s Bench Show. SPECIAL PRIZES ARE OFFERED. Some Rules Which Exhlibitors Must Follow to Escape a Fine. The Pacific Kennel Club will open its fourth annual bench show at the Mechan- ics' Pavilion to-day,and the admirers of “man’s best friend” will have an oppor- tunity of hearing a serenade that is at all times sweet music to the ear of sportsmen. Superintendent Williams has been up to his eyes in business since Monday perfect- ing the arrangements of the benches, most of which are handsomely decorated with divers kinds of colors. Special prizes have been offered for the best decorated ken- nels, and as a consequence no effort is being spared by the exhibitors to make their canine compartments as pretty and American Fox Hound Dog, Property of Judge Wm. P. Lawler. Tasso, picturesque as possible. The ladies, who will have a large number of clever little growlers on exhibition, are vying with each other in making gorgeous the tem- porary homes of their highly prized pets. No dogs will be received after 10 A. w. to- | day and late arrivals must be turned over to the care of the superintendent or his assistants at the Larkin-street entrance. Competent and trustworthy officials have been engaged to look after and care for the dogs on exhibition both night and day, but the rules of the show state that the manage- ment will not be responsibie for loss or damage to any dog exhibited whether the result of accident or other cause. At the last show held in this City a handsome little terrier broke away from its owner while the latter was taking the dog from its bench and in the flurry and excitement the terrier managed to find its way to the street. Bewildered by the noise and con- fusion the little dog ran in front of a passing streetcar and met death. The lady who owned the dog went into hysterics, but she had no one to blame but herself for the accident. The lesson teaches that while valuable dogs are on exhibition they should not be removed from their benches unless some of the attendants of the show are present to look out for their safety. Each exhibitor will receive a ticket of identification for all dogs entered, which must be carefully preserved, as no dog will be permitted to pass out of the building at night until the owner shall deposit $5 and surrender the ticket to the check clerk, both of which will be returned on the re- turn of the dog the next morning. If prize-winners are taken from the building and not returned the prizes awarded them will be forfeited and no dog 1 be received unless supplied with a suitable collar and chain. The judging will commence promptly to-day at 1 p. M., and during the hours of judging no dog will be permitted to leave its iench. Ex- hibitors will be allowed to exercise their charges only from 7 to 9 A. M. and 5 to §:30 p. M., and under no circumstances will dogs 'be_permitted off the bench except during those hours. The club will do its own benching. Only the newest materials will be used in construction, thus elimi- nating all possible danger of the dogs con- tracting contagious diseases. THE LEDETTE FILLY Charge Against Fred Warner Is Not Yot Decided. The hearing of the charge against Fred Warner of attempting to administer poison to the Ledette filly at the racetrack on March 25 was continued Monday night before Judge Low and it was close upon midnight when the court adjourned. A number of additional witnesses were examined for the prosecution, including C. F. Trevathan; A. B. Cunningham, analyti- cal chemist; Dr. J. E.[Cohn, Dr. Cox; C. T. Boots, the owner of the filly; Detective Dan Coffey,and William Blaisdel, thedrug- gist, who sold the bottle of poison and syringe to Warner. After the prosecution rested Attorney Lennon for the defendant moved for a dis- missal on the ground that a solicitation to commit a crime was not an attempt, and he cited numerous authorities in support of his contention. Attorney Ach for the prosecution cited an equal number of authorities against the contention and the Judge took till Monday next to give his decision. REPTILE AGAINST BIRD. A Quail Vanquishes a Gopher Snake in a Valley Near Sau- salito. A small valley on the mountain trail between Sausalito and the ocean, where alders and laurel grow in unusual profu- sion, is the favorite balt for those ramblers who wander over the Marin County hills. A clear, cool spring bubbles up from a rocky bed, the trees are covered with a rich green moss, and in the heat of the day this neighborhood presents no more desirable resting-place. At noon yesterday, two tired loungers in the mountain retreat were the interested specators of a curious woodland drama. A brace of newly mated quail trotted out of the brush to drink at the spring. The male was a big full-crested fellow, evi- dently a bird of age and wisdom, for as he strutted with much self-importance in front of his plump consort, he looked cautiously about him for the possible pres- ence of an enemy in ambush. His dame would have passed him, but he told her in the most unmistakable bird language and peremptorily, too, not to be in a hurry until he had ‘thoroughly sur- veyed the surroundings. All was apparent security. A fat, philosophic toad, perched upon a rock, gazing with lack-luster eyes upon a gaudy bluefly some yards away and doubtless wishing it would come his way, had no terror for the feathered bride- groom. A ; A noisy bluejay, singing and chattering on an alder branch overhead, a lawless freebooter, who would not hesitate to rob a nest, but who would shrink from open An 1l-year-old boy named Kehoe, whose parents reside at 25 Folsom street, escaped, ‘with three other lads of about his age, from the Ladies’ Protective and Relief Society on Saturday night. Young Kehoe wasan incor- rigible 1ad, whose detention was deemed neces- saty. Neither of the lads has been seen since their escape, and it is thought that they have fled into the country, battle with a powerful and truculent quail, was eyed l{y the crested dandy with indif- ference. The great and most implacable foeman was concealed behind a pile of moss-covered rocks. Assuming, therefore, that there was nothing to be feared, the quail strutted on, and both dipped their beaks in the spring and drank success to their nest-keeping and the brood that was to be. They hob- nobbed and rubbed heads, and presented a pretty picture of conjugal bliss. But like the first man and woman in_Eden, ‘“‘the grand old gardener and his wife,” a lineal descendant of the serpent which caused all their trouble was on the watch. 7 From under the moist and tangled grasses a big _gogher snake slowly unfolded itself. It raised its head, and its long tongue darted inand out'in pleasing an- ticipation of a midday meal. The toad, despairing of the advent of a fly, had closed its beady eyes, and occasionally uttered a faint and snore-like croak. Whether the drowsy reptile was the ob- ject of the snake’s hesitation, or whether it meant to do up the quail, will never be known, for the birds, having drunk their fill, turned to leave the springand the male esgied the ugly stranger. allantly, and conscious of the ad- miring glances of his spouse, for all his daring and aggressiveness, he dashed at the snake and struck its erect head full in front with his spurs. The snake shook itself, and with a vengeful hiss hit back. The toad heard the noise and promptly vacated its rock, traveling as seldom toad ever traveled before, to get well away from the scene of the duel. The quail dodged the blow and came again at its foe, putting all his weight in the charge, and apparently landing his spursin a tender place, for the snake swayed to and fro like a pugilist who has received a dazing facer. The next attack was feeble and ineffect- ive, but the quail's fury was intensified and his courage undaunted. Again and again he flew at the enemy, and spurred him, and darted his beak at his eyes, and made that snake feel as if he had run against a tornado. Such an unequal combat could not last long.- At the last assault the snake rolled over, then straightened out, and crawled lamely and wearily back into the bush, re- signing all claims to the gate money. The female quail had one dig at him before he got away, and then, .n seem- ing congratulation of the plucky and victorious champion, invited him to the spring for an invigorating draught after the fatigues of the battle. The spectators would have rewarded him with a bushel of wheat, had such a gift been possible, but instead threw their remaining sandwiches toward the place where the happy had retired. Dax 0‘80. J MRS. SOMERS' DEPOSITION. The Question of Its Introduction Now Under Argument. Yesterday the attorneys engaged in the suit of Charles Loomis against Calvin LINC oLV AVE BELLEVUE S 7 DOV RLASS SITE FOR THE COLLEGES Twenty Acres Given to the State by the Castro-Street Land Company. IT IS VALUED AT 85,000 An Electric Road Passes the Prop- erty—Improvements in the Nelghborhood. As a site for the proposed State building of affiliated colleges the Castro-street Land Company has offered to make an absolute gift of twenty acres of land, to be selected from any portion of the 160 acres belong- ing to the company, bounded by Castro street on the east, Bellevue street on the west, Thirtieth street on the north and Chenery street on the south. “In making this offer to the State,” the manager of the company says, *“we will be justified in donating a tract of land, the value of which, I am satisfied, will be placed by any conservative and reliable ex- pert at not less than §50,000, because of the fact that the construction of a State build- ing for the purpose indicated will largely enhance the value of the surrounding property, and because, also, it will hasten the construction of street railroads and the various avenues of approach to our prop- R A5, S5 FZecr RO ALENCIA 3 MAP OF THE LAND OFFERED BY THE CASTRO LAND COMPANY FOR THE STATE COLLEGE BUILDINGS. Somers to recover $100,000 for malicious prosecution were arguing for the admit- tance or exclusion of a deposition of Mrs. Somers, taken about two years ago, printed in book form but never published. Mrs. Bomers is said to tell in the deposi- tion all about the relations between Loomis, Somers and the late Mrs. Tread- well. She reveals several scandalous ac- tions, and altogether Somers’ attorneys are concerned to have her deposition thrown out of court. 2 The point raised is that a wife’s testi- mony cannot be used against her husband. Mrs. Somers was divorced, but Somers ob- tained a rehearing and since then has not pressed his case. Her deposition was only obtained under great difficulties and Judge Wallace allowed its introduction. This permission by Judge Wallace was used in the argument yesterday. The jury was excluded and Fisher Ames, the principal witness, was also exc_used during the progress of the proceedings. The argument will probably be concluded to-day. THE WORK OF A YEAR. Students in the School of Design Will Compete for Three Gold Medal The members of the committee of the school of design of the San Francisco Art Association met yester- day aiternoon to arrange the details of the exhibition of the work done by the students in tie past year. The committee is composed of Edward Bosaui, R. J. Bush, Henry Heyman, Emile Pissis, Mrs. David Bixler and Mrs. A. B. Chittenden. It was decided to open the exhibition on the evening of the 21st inst. and continue it to the end of the week. On the open- ing night there will be given an entertain- ment in the school building, to_consist of orchestral concert music and *‘living pic- ture” tableaux. The medalswill be given also on the opening night and James D. Phelan, president of the Art Association, will deliver the presentation speech and address of welcome. Three gold medals will be awarded. They are the Alvord medal, for the best general work for the year in the antique class, the W. E. Brown medal for the best work in the life class and the Avery medal for the best work in oil painting. The award will be made by %ve judges to be chosen hereafter, one by the board of directors, two by the School of Design and two by the pupils of the school. The studies will be exhibited in the rooms where the work has been done in order to lend an air of informality to the exercises, and both the Pine and Mason street en- trances will be utilized during their con- tinuance. ———————— Daniel Webster once said, *The man who would be disrespectful to his mother would spit on her grave when she is dead.” erty. Our motive, therefore, is not by any means a philanthropic one, but it never- theless does not detract in any way from the value of the property acquired by the State. *It may be urged that this property is too remote from the center of poquhtion and that means of access are too limited. In answer to that, permit me to say that the electric road along Chenery street, now in operation to the cemeteries, passes im- mediately in front of our property, and that the present main line of the South- ern Pacific_will, upon the construction of the shore line, be changed into an elec- tric road, thus insuring, before the com- pletion of the college, another means of approach with rapid transit. There is no doubt but that the construction of the college on our property would result in the construction of the Castro-street cable line to the property, which line would fol- low from its present terminus up Twenty-sixth street to Diamond, and out Diamond street, to the gr(())peny owned by the Castro-street Land Company. This street has already been graded, sewered and macadamized to Thirtieth street, and our company has at present a large force of men employed in the grading, macadam- izing and sewering of the avenues to be laid through the Castro-street property. “Our company would agree to have com- pleted before the college is finished the grading and macadamizing and sewering of all the streets within the 160-acre tract. ‘We will also agree to plant shade trees along the lines of all the avenues, thus converting into an attractive park with fine trees the 125 or 130 acres surrounding the college site. ‘“If the committee should decide to ac- cept the twenty acres offered by our com- pany 1 am convinced of the fdct that several additional car-lines will be ex- tended to the property, and the time from the City Hall to the site would be materi- ally reduced. At present the trip cannot be made in less than thirty minutes. The time from the City and County Hospital is at present about thirty minutes, and this will be materially lessened when the Southern Pacific line is changed into an electric road. “It is not likely that anyjsitefin the center of the City, even if the area is limited to one block of land, can be ob- tained for less than $50,000. The tract of land which we offer to the State is equivalent to seven full City blocks, and the expenditnre of $10,000 or $15,000 on this twenty acres will transform it intoa beautiful park.” There was a meeting of the joint com- mittee representing the affilliated colleges last evening at the College of Phnrmac%. at which there were present: Dr. W. F. McNutt of the College of Medicine, Drs. L. L. Dunbar and A. A. d’Ancona of the College of Dentistry, A. A. Weihe and W. M. Searby of the College of Pharmacy and J. C. Reinstein of the Alumni Association.

Durrant’s Attorneys Are Hunting for Their Witnesses, but Refuse to Give any Information. Rumors were rife in the Durrant case yesterday. One was to the effect that the defense had a witnessin the person of a downtown _hairdresser who would swear that Minnie Williams was in her hair- dressing establishment at 8 o’clock on the evening she was murdered. If this is true then she could not be the person who was in company with Durrant in the vicinity of Emmannal Baptist Church on that fatal evening. When spoken to on the subject | Eugene Deuprey said: ‘It is all news to me. If there is such a witness I do not know anything about her. It is like some remarks which have been attributed to me and which were untrue.” “Ts there anything new cropped up in Durrant’s defense, Mr. Deuprey 2"’ ‘‘Not a thing that I can give out at pres- ent. We are Workin;; along slowly and surely and that is all.’ DONT BE DISCOURMGED! Cultivate your beanty. You will losk 100 per cent pret- tier when you remove that hair from your face.
