- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1895. THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Faverites Were Out in the Cold, Every First Choice Being Downed. FORTUNA WON AT 20 TO 1 Well Ridden by Paget, the Pleasan- ton Stable’s Bernardo Took the Last Race. Jackson, tne clever Roby jockey, had his first mount in the opening race, riding Ichi Ban. He hustled the gelding along in good style. Thomas H. Wililams Jr., president of the California Jockey Club, leaves for the East to- day on a trip that combines both business and pleasure. Ed Purser, the astute New York handicapper, very much in form yesterday and quit & winueron the day. He started the day by landing a good sized bet on The mmer. California racegoers wiil be pleased to learn that the clever Isom boys, Bob and Bert, have returned to the State and will again be seen in the saddle. They wiil ride ior the stable of Burns and Waterhouse. A well-known California horseman at present located in Chicago writes a friend in this City that the outlook there is very discouraging. In his opinion the best the Legislatare will do is 1o pass a bill allowing thirty days’ continual racing at each of the Wind tracks. The road the favorites had to travel over at the track yesterday was indeed a rocky one. Beginning with Jerome §, the 9 to 10 first choice for the opening race, ill jortune hovered over them throughout the day, all the events being taken by second or outsiders. The fine weather ht out a good crowd, and the betting was lively. Lovers of long shots were made happy by the victories of Mamie Scott and Fortuna, the former winning in a drive at 10to1, and the latter pulling down the purse in the fourth race very cleverly with the spicy odds of 20 to 1 against her. On the strength of his former run Jerome 8 was expected to do the trick handily in the opening event of the day, a six-furlong run, but the best he could do was to finish second to The Drummer. a 5 to1 chance, who took the lead entering the stretch and beat the fayorite out two lengths with ease. Prince Devine was a bang-up third. Sporting the golden brown of the Elk- ton stanie the speedy Fly was a strong favorite for the second race, a five and a half furlon g dash, going to the post 8 to 5. Venus, Hueneme and Middleton, at nearly the same price in the betting, were the favored ones outside of the favorite. There was also a healthy play on My Sweetheart for the place. As usual Fly lost his field in the first quarter, but on entering the stretch Hu- eneme was hot after him, two lengths away. Catching the tiring Fly at every jump Hueneme just managed to get his head in front the last few jumps, and gained the verdict. Venus was third, two lengths away. The winner went to the post 43 to 1. The next event, a light welter-weight sprint over the short six-furlong course, was about the most open betting run of the day. The bulk of the money that went into the books was played on Edgemount, McFarlane, Tom Clarke and the Gypsette gelding. A quiet tip was out on Mamie Scott, and she received some backing at a very liberal price. Edgemount was a sort of a doubtful favorite throughout the bet- famie Scott managed to beat length, and staid in front all the ing the tape halfa length in front arlane. Poorly ridden by a stable- the Gypsette gelding finished third, head further away. rge Rose’s colt Boreas was backed as ad already won the fourth -furlong dash, the bookies being cutting his price down. At post 05 was timidly laid against him. p. oad of coin was played in on imp. Grand Lady, the second choice, who ran ointingly. Mountain Air and not friendless by any means, mrh":igoing to the post pretty well sup- ported. Mountain Air, away from the post third, took the lead, holding it well into the stretch, where he was passed by Fortuna, who won comfortably by alength. Roreas, the favorite, was an ordinary third. Favorite players again received a hard knock in the last race, a mile selling affair. White and Clarke’s Commission gave the talent their knockout blow. He went to the post 13 to 10, with Bernardo second choice at 5 to2. Old Hy Dy, with Sloane up, was third choice in the betting. To a good start Hy Dy and Don Cmsar beaded the field at the quarter. As they passed the half pole Don Csar and Com- mission were in front, heads apart, and they were still in front entering the siretch. - At this point Bernardo was fifth, but moving up fast. While Don Casar and Commission were fighting it out through the stretch Paget brought Ber- nardo along on the outside and won a splendid race by a neck. Don Cesar downed Commission half a length for sec- ond place. Paget rode a most excellent race, and bis good judgment was complimented on all sides. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY. SAN FRANCISCO, May 21, 1895.

A TENNIS TOURNAMENT, There Will Be One in July, Either at Monterey or San Rafael. It Will Be Open to All but Those Who Belong to Delinquent Clubs. “T have just returned from Mexico,” said Dell Linderman, president of the California Lawn Tennis Club, yesterday, “and while there did not give much attention to lawn tennis. Some of the boys are, I believe, practicing at the court, corner of Bush and Scott streets, for the tournament to be held in July. I do not think that there will be any games at the tennis court this summer, for during that time nearly all who take part in the game are away in the country.” “Lawn tennis,” said A. B. Wilberforce, president of the Pacific States Lawn Ten- nis Association, “‘is rather dull just now, robably all on account of the craze for the Eicycle, but there will be a tournament on the 2d, 3d and 4th of July. As a com- mittee of one I have visited Monterey and San Rafael. At the former place an offer was made to put the courts in first-class condition, and something in the nature of a bonus was also offered. San Rafael and the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail- way Company have also made a liberal laid before the executive committee of the association to be held in a few days, and it will then be determined where the cham- | | pionship games will be played. “The games will be open to all comers and members of the association, except those who belong to ciubs in arrears for dues to the association.” {WHAT YACHTSMEN NEED. Dan O’Connell Shows the Advantage of | a Enowledge of Tides and Currents. A book with charts of the tides of this eccentric harbor is a necessity to the | yachtsman, For the man who knows how | to handle tacks and sheets, and steer a | correct course, and follow the wind with his weather leach so that he never loses a foot, is not always the skipper that picks up his moorings first. The tides and cur- rents have a merry time of it at the differ- | ent stages of the flow and ebb, and he who | is wise in these movements is always the successful yachtsman. An instance of this occurred last Sunday when the yacht fleet was on its return trip from Vallejo. The Ramona, steered by Commodore McCarty, led the Chispa through Raccoon Straits. The tide was making flood in Richardsons Bay, but the last of the ebb was still running through the straits. Both yachts stood to the southward on the starboard tack to weather the westerly point of Angel Island. The Ramona hugged the wind and lee bowing the tide weathered the point, while the Chispa went about and stood again to the northward. It now becamea test sail between short tacks, which the Chispa adopted, and a long board on the starboard tack, which suited the nautical judgment of McCarty. Tne Chispa made but little in the first few tacks, and finally tumbled into the tlood current. The Ramona stood away on the same tack to the souwestward, far down the bay, ani when she came about had almost a free wind to her moorings, lying up while the Chispa was yet a short distance clear of the jaws of the straits. This was a clear example of the efficacy of good judgment. The Ramona got all out of the ebb tide that wasin it, and then to-morrow. The attendance this afternoon was in the neighboraood of 6000. The track was slow. Five furlongs, Lady Diamond won, Lamp- lignter second,” The Princess third.” Time, 0417 Six jurlongs, selling, Katie G won, Dr. Reed second, Major Tom third. Time, 1:18%.

The track was sloppy. Only four horses started in the Parkway handicap. Basset- law ran head off when the flag fell, and at the end of the first hali mile had all bat Sir Walter in difficulties. At the head of the stretch Sir Walter took the lead by two lengths, but Doggett gradually pulled him back and won from Bassetlaw by a head in the easiest possible way.

CHICAGO, IrL., May 21.—It is stated here from reliable sources that John 8. Johnson, who was suspended by the L. A. ‘W. racing board pending an investigation into his amatenr standing, has been de- clared a professional. Johnson was sus- pended by the racing board about a month ago and was allowed thirty days in which to answer the charges. In company with his trainer, Tom Eck, he went to Philadelphia to see Chairman Gideon and answer the charge. It is stated that when Chairman Gideon asked him to produce the prizes won at the dif- ferent races in which he had participated, he was unable to do so, and on this ground, it is stated, he was declared a professional by the unanimous vote of the board and barred from the amateur ranks forall time. An authority on bicycling in this city stated tha$ Chairman Gideon had been making a quiet investigation into Eck’s case, and as the chairman is deliberate in his acts, he has undoubtedly secured evidence which justified his course in the suspension of Mr. Eck. FOUGHT TO A DRAW. Is Not a Dick O’Brien Meets His Match in “Kid” MecCoy of Boston. BOSTON, Mass, May 21.—More than 2000 persons witnessed a stubbornly fought 25-round contest at the Suf- folk Athletic Club last night between Dick O'Brien of Lewiston and “Kid” McCoy of Boston, whichgaccording to the rules of the fight, was declared a draw by Referee William Daly Jr., at the end of the twenty-fifth round. O’Brien was the favorite, but the clever Bostonian gave him the best contest the Lewiston lad ever went against in his career, and at the close of the twenty-five rounds was whistling and making game of O’Brien. Only once during the contest was McCoy on the verge of losing. That was in the twelith round, when O'Brien floored him three times and almost put him to sleep. At the end of the bout John L. Sullivan was introduced and made a brief speech in the ring, in which he thanked his friends for their kindness in bringing about his coming benefit. ADOLPH SPRECKELS' STABLE. Some of His Horses Will Race at St. Lowis During the Week. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 21.— Adolph Spreckels’ stable of racehorses, in charge of Trainer C. Mulkey, has arrived at the fair grounds from Chicago. where they landed last week after a journey across the Rocky Mountains from San Francisco. Mr. Mulkey says he will start some of them this week. Sloggers Not Wanted There. NEW YORK, N.Y., May 22.—A special to the World from Tallahassee, Fla., says no prizefighting with gloves, boxing en- counters, or anything that such engage- ments may be called, will hereafter take made a fair tide of it of the flood, running | up Richardsons Bay. So at early morn- ing when the winds are light at these; moorings, even though there is a breeze in | the channel, there is always some brisk | air moving close to the reservation shore, ! and the judicious yachtsman will work ! along in short tacks “to clear Yellow Bluff, and then fetch the regular channel breeze. | On the other hand the steersman not well | up in this local peculiarity may be tempted | to reach across to the eastward, where he | is apt to stick until the regulation wind sets in. DaN O’CoNNELL. —————— TEXAS WANTS THE FIGHT. Oitizens of Dallas Offer a Purseto Corbett and Fitzsimmons. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 21.—Dan Stew- art of Dallas, representing the syndicate of Texans who propose to hold the cham- pionship battle between Corbett and Fitzsimmons in the Lone Star State, is expected here Friday, The object of his Vvisit is to confer with Corbett, Fitzsim- mons and Vendig in regard to securing the fight. Corbett and Vendig are now here and Fitzsimmons will arrive in a day or two. Ina letter Mr. Stewart says: ““If the principals are sincere the syndi- cate will have no trouble in bringing off | the fight. A purse of $40,000 to $41,000 will be offercd for the contest. The plan is to have the bout take place at the time of the Dallas fair, which event attracts great crowds. My idea would be to have it on the night of Drummers’ day, about October 20. On that day the city is filled with representatives from every section of the country. The residents of Dallas look upon the bringing off of the event as in the nature of an adver- tisement for the city and the State. The the money will be ready when the nego- tiations are completed. All we want of the men is to fight when they enter the ring. I have a plain business proposi- tion to make, and the arrangements should be completed in a short time.” LAMPLIGHTE# DEFEATED. Beaten at Five Fiusiongs by Baldwin’s Lady Diamond. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 21.—Interest centered in the first race at Churchill Downs to-day, in which Jack Chinn’s great Lissak and Walbaum’s Lamplighter were entered.

REPORT ON TOBACCO CULTURE. It Is Very Encouraging to the Ex- tenslon of This Fleld of Enterprise. There was a well-attended meeting of the board of directors of the Manufactur- ers’ and Producers’ Association of Cali- fornia last night. C. H. Morrell, vice-president of the Summit Lake Water Company, suggested that a badge or button of silver, with a suitabie device, be made and supplied by the association to all who were in sym- pathy with its work. The matter was taken under advisement. A sub-committee of the association was appointed from among the Stockton mem- bers to look after association matters in McPherson sent & communication stating that there is a fuel oil district near Oakland, and inviting an investigation by the association. Referred to the committee on coal and oil. A vote of thanks was tendered the ex- ecutive committee for their efforts in en- deavoring to secure the making of police uniforms bv a California firm. In the report of the committee on new industries, it was stated that leading to- bacco manufacturers pronounced the cul- tivation of tobacco in California a promis- ing enterprise. Samples of tobacco had been submitted to the manufacturers, and after testing it they reported that it proved satisfacsory in every way, even to the mak- ing of cigars. E: n reference to the proposition of W. H. Murray, with regard to the growth of flax seed in this State, the committee 1e- ported that wheat-growing was as profit- able, and even more profitable at present than flax seed could be made in Californi: In accordance with the comm: tee’'s recommendations, Louis Saroni, its chairman, was empowered to ap- int a commitiee of tobacco manu- acturers to further investigate the muatter of tobacco-growing, with a view toward encouraging its cultivation in California. The following names were submitted for that committee and approved by the board of directors: Willlam Lewis of William Lewis & Co., Julius Sultan of Julius Sultan & Co., M. Esberg of Esberg, Bachman & Co., H. Plagemann of H. Plagemann & Co. George W. Snyders, representing the Co- operative Cigar Manufacturing Company, submitted cigars made of uncured tobacco grown in California. This is conslidered one of theseverest tests to which a tobacco can be put. The directors present imme- diately began a smoking seance, and the result of this practical ordeal was a verdict strongly in favor of the home product. The tobacco of which the cigars were made was rown near San Felipe, and is considered v experts the equal of any grown outside of Cuba. The financial report was most gratifying and was placed on file. J. A. Filcher, on behalf of the State Board of Trade, requested the co-operation of the association in securing more space for the exhibits of the Board of Trade,with a view of including therein goods manufac- tured in California. The matter was dis- cussed in a favorable light, but no action was taken on the proposition. The report of Secretary Mead, covering the work done by the association since its organization, was submitted and ordered laced on tile. It covered the period from arch 29 to May 21 inclusive. The membership is 601, representing eighty-four branches of industry in ten citiesand towns. Continuing the report says: It is gratifying to report to-day that there is an awakening of the people and a growing sentiment in favor of home products. Numer- ous cases have been reported where manufac- turers have found an increase in thelr busi- ness traceable directly to the agitation of this subject by the Manufacturers' and Producers’ Association. Reference is then made to the successful efforts of the association in securing for California manufacturers work on the Par- Tott estate buildine and on the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company’s build- ing; to the report of the fuel committee on the coal mines of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Coal Company; to the successful effort made to have California cloth used in the uniforms ef the San Francisco police; to securing the contract for fireworfi‘s’ for the Santa Cruz Water Carnival for a California firm, and to the efforts made to encourage the local cigar and tobacco industries. In conclusion the report states: The next effort in this line of work will be started by a conference of the lithographers, to be held in this office on Thursday, May 23, at 2 P. M., after which will follow that of the print- ers, furniture manufacturers, glove manufac- turers and others, The next meetin, ors will be held on of the board of direct- une 4, at 8 p. M.

He was en- gaged in the late Emperor Frederick’s garden two years, also for a like period with the tirm of F. Sanders & Co., St. Albans, Herts, England, the famous importers of tropical orchids. He did excellent work in illustrating orchids and sold a collection of 500 teratological drawings of orchids to the British Museum. In the interest of landscape gardening and botany he has trnvr]m{’extensively in Germany, through the Hartz Mountains, Thuringen, Riesen- gebirge and the island of Ruegen. He studied principaily the laying out of parks by Lenne and g’\xeckler in Potsdam, Berlin, Hanover, Passel and also those of Ham- burg. He traveled over the south of England from London to Bristol, also north to Manchester and Liverponx, but learned most of all from nature’s teaching in iorest and plain, mountain and valley. He is a frequent contributor to gardening apers in Germany and is a correspondent E:r the Gardener’s Chronicle, London. ——————— Held for Robbery.
