Miss Brummel and Sena- tor Mahoney Run an Excit- ing Dead Heat. JOE COTTON WAS IN . SHAPE, | The Brown Fllly Thelma Again Lowers the Colors of Quirt i and Circe. . | Shaw won two Taces yesterday. He putupa | decidedly warm ride on Thelma. | Ed Purser backed the faint-hearted Circe,and also lost several dollars by Morven’s defeat. | Lovers of the herness horse will have an op- portunity of possibly buying a coming world- bester at the auction sale of Paio Alto bred | stock, to be held to-day at Killip & Co.’s sales- yard, Van Ness avenue and Market street, The stewards of the Jockey Clab have rein- stated Sullivan, who wassuspended for his ride on Thornhill some months ago, end Tony Small, who was ruled off in connection with the peculiar running of the norses Ichi Ban and Swiftsure. The person who spread the report that Demo- crat was as good as ever should be exiled to some dreary coral reef in the South Pacific with nothing but losicg pool-tickets for & diet. Something has been given the old horse to stop his bleeding, but it also took his speed away. Jockey Hinrichs, the skillful light-haired Teuton from St. Louis, is branching out as quite a horse-owner. Already the owner of McFarlane, he lately purchased & full brother 1o the dead Wildwood and another youngster from the Wilaidle stock farm in Sants Clara County. Bookmaker Johnny Humphrey backed his horse Joe Cotton for the “plotz,” but did not think him herdly fast enough to win. It was just as well Yor his brother bookies that he thought that way, for had he backed him straight there would have been a few badly fractured bank rolls. When Miss Brummel and Senator Mahoney | were well under way in their run-off, with the | filly in front Johnny Coleman, shouting from his box, began'by offering 4 to 1 against the Senator, finally reachibg 10 to 1. A farlong from home, when the Senator made an unex- pected spurt, looking dengerous, Johnny cut down the price and also his voice, but only for en instant, his fog-horn voice being heard above the din offering 4 to 1 sgainst the sena- torial horse at the draw-gate. Secretary Milroy received a dispatch from | M. Lewis Clarke stating thatif the ] who but recently returned to this | ot in Cincinnati by May 29, to | appear before the Turf Congress, they would | be ruled off for life..

Secretary Milroy wired | Colonel Clarke ssking if & deposition ‘would | not answer, but as yet no reply hes been re- ceived. | A job was hinted &t in the lest race end the | judges warned Shaw, who hed the mount on | Thelma, that if he did not ride to win he would | be ruled off for life. Shaw at present is riding | in excellent form and gives promise of becom- | ing a fine rider, and if the boy has a wise head | he will turn a deaf ear to the parasites of the | turf with their golden offers that have caused | the downfall of many a promising rider. Crookedness may pay for a while, but, Sooner or later, it is bound to end in disaster and the Iuckless rider is then doomed to the life of & racetrack roustabo: He can then count his swell friends on the fingers of one hand, after losing & couple in a sawmill at that. y monotony of the every-day | ng racing was varied somewhat yes- | terday by a dead heat in the two-year-old | event, a most unusual occurrence at the | track. The race was first on the card and the talent was p ve it was a “‘pipe”’ for imp. Miss Brummel and sent her to the | post 9 to 10. Senator Mahoney at7to2| was second choice, with Instigator nextin | demand. Weber hustled Senator Mahoney | to the front soon after the flag fell and it | looked like his money a furlong from | home, but by dint of hard riding Shaw on | the faverite just managed to pull up on even terms with the second choice as they passed the wire. City Girl,ridden by a gripman, was_a close third. The judges decided on a dead heat. The owners de- cided to run it off after the last race. In the run off Miss Brummel was a 3to5 choice with 3 to 2 against the Senator. The English-bred Miss won, but she did not have the snap that was expected, as | she had to run every foot of the gronnd, | as the time for five furlongs, 1:021%, indi- cates, it being the same notch they hit early in the day. Acheap lot of “‘dogs” went to the post in the second race a mile selling affair, Olivia closed favorites, backed from 11to 8 | to 5. Alexis, who opened fayorite, closed second choice. Jones took the lead with the light- weighed Olivia as soon as the flag fell, lead- ing throughout. Alexis finished second, | six lengths in front of Gold Dust. | Sweet Alice, the 8to 5 favorite for the | third race, a five and a half furlong dash, led until well into the stretch, when she flew up. Myron then took up the running, | leading until within a_few yards of the | wire, when Rico, coming like a ghost on the outside, nipped the race by half a| length. Red Will was an ordinary vhird. | The winner was as good as 8to1atone | stage of the betting. | The fourth race, at the same distance as | the race preceding, resulted in another grand dump. From 6 to 5 Hymn was quickly pounded down to 4 to 5, and Mor- ven was just as heavily backed for the place, but neither of them got a chalk mark. Hymn and Morven sailed out in front as soon as the flag sent them away. Hymn quit on the far turn, ieaving Morven and Carmel to show the way home. Less than a furlong from the wire Flynn took com- mand with Joe Cotton, but” had to ride hard to stail off the challenge of Mantell, whom he only beat out a neck. Carmel was a good third. For the last race on the card, a full six- furlong sprint, Circe was again a favorite. Quirt opened equal choice with the daugh- ter of Friar Tuck, but went back in fhe betting, 2 to I being obtainable. *Thelma was backed down from 7 to 2 to 13 to 5.

GUN, WHEEL AND ROD: Sportsmen Who Will Shoot at Marys- ville—The Camera Club Cy- clists” Road Run. The Olympic Gun Club has formed a State Target League, and circulars will- be sent to the various gun clubs throughout the State, calling for a convention of dele- gates to meet in this City on the evening of June 8. The Country Club will have a shoot on Saturday at the Oakland track, and one of the features of interest on that day will be a side shoot for a club dinner, between the ward and Colonel Fred Webster. On Sunday next there will be great pul- verizing of artificial birds at Alameda Point, as the proposed team shoot between the crack shots of the Empire, Electric and Lincoln Gun Clubs will come off. The | race for first place promises to be very close. An_artificial and live bird tournament will be held to-day at Marysville, Yuba County. Among the many prominent sportsmen of this City who will participate in the race for prizes are Crittenden Rob- inson, M. O. Feudner, J. 8. Fanning, A. J. ‘Webb and Ned Fay. AsFeudner has been shooting in great form this season, his friends expect to see him return with many prizes. The Country Club.is expecting the ar- rival of 20,000 voung brown trout from the Hoopa Valley Reservation hatchery. The little fellows will be liberated in Bear Valley Creek, which stream flows through the club’s preserve. A. La Motte has il:.\ced 10,000 young blackbass in Clear Lake, Lake County. The bass fry were taken recently from the Russian River, and Mr. La Motte is of the opinion that when the youngsters grow to be one or two pounds’ weight they will help to rid the lake of the large numbers of carp which now have possession, so to speak, of this fine sheet of water. The first “off Sunday” run of the Camera Club Cyelists will be held next Sunday from Sausilito to Tocaloma:and return. The road from San Anselmo to San Gero- mimo is 1 good condition, excepting in the vicinity of Whites Hill. Local teams representing different retail stores in San Jose are preparing for a thirty-mile run on Sunday from San Jose to Gilroy.: The Santa Cruz Carnival Association has decided to expend about $1200 in the con- which is near the terminus of the electric-car line. According to a, letter which a patron of the sport of coursing received from Sacra- mento yesterday a.numher of first-glass running dogs will arrivehere on the 30th inst. to participate .in the big coursing meeting which will be held in Casserley’s Park. WHEELMEN DINE, A Collation Tendered Them at Asso- ciation Hall by the Ladies’ Auxiliary. A hundred members and guests ot the Young Men’s Christian Association Cy- cling Clubsat down Tuesday eveningin the dining-room of Association Hall to a col- lation served to them by the Ladies’ Auxili- ary of the parent institution. An appe- tizing spread was provided, to which the wheelmen did full justice. After the demands of the inner man had been appeased toasts and speech-making were in order. AssistantSecretary Arthur P. Chipron was toastmaster. Henry E. Monroe, the club’s attorney, spoke to “Good Roads.” He referred to the contrast between the “unbloomered” savage of primeval his- tory, and contrasted his condition with that of the men and women of to-day. Good roads were a necessity of ad- vanced civilization, and a suggestion was made that some philanthropist should make himself' famous by dcnating the money necessary to 'Iprov‘ e 8an Francisco with a bouleyard. The speaker said that on behalf of the 25,000 wheelmen of this City he would guarantee that such a boule- vard should be named for said philan- thropist. Other toasts and . those who. responded to them were: “Our Club,” J. g’anker Ames; “The Ladies,” A. P. Black; ‘ The Cycling Fraternity,” H. F. Wynne, president of the California Associate COyecling __ Clubs; “ The League of American Wheelmen,” E.' C. Brown; “Our Racing-Men,” F. H.Bron- son; “The Wheel, the Modern Pegasus,’ Dr. H. C. French, club fhysicinn; “Tour- ing,” A. 8. Gardiner; “The Young %en"’ Mrs, J. Cline; “The Officers,” 'B.*C. ‘Wright, association trustee. Music for the evening was furnished as follows: Duet, Misses Maud and Florence Smith; cornet solo, A. P. Black; vocal solo, M. L. Parkes. SCIENTIFIC HANDBALL, M. J. Kilgallon of Denver and John Riordan Defeat Amateur Champions Donnelly and E. Linehan. { “Ladies’ Night” at the Occidental hand- ball court brought forth. an unusually large attendance of the fair sex last night. The attraction was M. J. Kilgallon, the professional from Denver. He and John Riordan played a match, the best of five games, against P. T. Donnelly, the ama- teur champion, and J.Feeney of the Union court. Feeney had to retire in the second game. During a rally Kilgallon, who is a “smasher,” hit the ball a terrific right- hander. It bounced off the wall and struck Feeney, who was standing near the 4 short line, on the side of the head with such force as to knock him over and render him useless for further play that night. The ball caromed off Feeney’s head and struck the wall, rebounding ‘again as if it had been hit with Kilgallon’s hand. R. ‘Linehan of the Union court took Feeney’s place. »’ The match was won by Riordan and Kil- gallon by the following score: Riordan and Kilgallon Donnelly and Linebaun. A preliminary game John Parcell and C. Bradley, and Al Col- lins and Gus Ebner. Purcell and Bradley won by the score, 21—14, 17—21, 21—16. Kilgallon will play at the Occidental on Saturday afternoon and at the Union court on Sunday afternoon. THE OLYMPIC CLUB. Directors Expect That the Outdoor- Ground Question Will be Settled Soon. The directors of the Olympic Club met last evening, but owing to the condition in which the outdoor grounds are at present, no action was taken as to what move the club will take with a view of re- covering damages. It was rumored, how- ever, that in case the owner of the pror- erty will agree to decrease the monthly rental of the grounds to a figure which will please the directors, the proposed suit for damages, owing to the grfiuking of the fence and the inundation of the grounds with samd, will be dispensed with. SAN' BERNARDINO. RACES, Foster Runs Away From the Field in the Free-for-All Mile Dash. Burke of Los Angeles Wins the Two-Mile Handlcap by Half a Wheel. SAN BERNARDINO, Cir, May 22.— The circuit races here to-day were a great success. Tandems were used to pace the scratch races, and Foster ran away from the field in the mile open, making the splendid time of 2:16 against a strong wind and a dusty track. In the two-mile handicap Foster and Burke had 75 yards, with Ulbricht and Castleman on the scratch. The limit was 150 yards. After the first mile was fin- ished all took an easy gait. This saved Burke, who beat Foster out. by half a wheel in the final spurt. Ulbricht finished a length behind and the rest were well back. Jones was covered with plaster and cotton from his fall Sunday night and was too lame to ride fast. The handicapping Was poor. A. W. Cleaver, the Chicago class A man, was disqualified in the mile handicap for foul riding. On the backstretch he slowed up and dumped Wasson of Riverside, who, was also a scratch man. -Clark of San Jose and others also went down. The county championship was ridden in the heavy wind in 2:263/, thanks, to the tandem-pacing.

Starter Pettingill, who fined Jockey Turner $100 and set him down for the balance of the meeting, relented, and to-day sus- vended the judgment against the game boy who rode Strauss’ two fillies, Amanda and May Pinkerton. The meeting just closed has been a successful one in every respect. The officials of the new jockey club report a balance on the right side of the :ledger. The attendance to-day was 6000; track fast.

With the Folsom-Street Boulevard In the Lead. Another chapter was added last evening to San Francisco’s fight for better streets and better things in general, when 2500 wheelmen " paraded the Mission, finally | merging in an assemblage of 5000 or 6000 people, gathered at the corner of Twenty- second and Folsom streets, in mass-meet- ing, for the purpose of initiating a move- ment looking to the bifuminizing of Fol- som street, from the ferry landing to Twenty-ninth street. It was the beginning of a general fight for bitumen paving, and the enthusiasm | which prevailed attested conclusively the deep interest felt in this subject. To the Folsom-street Improvement Club and the South Side Improvement Club be- long the credit of last evening’s demon- stration, which exceeded in magnitude the expectations of its most sanguine promoters. : Folsom street was a blaze of light. Nearly every house along the line of march was hung with Japanese lanterns, and many of the finer residences were decor- ated with flags and bunting. At intervals of four or five blocks the committee had fireworks, which kept the routé of the pro- cession a blaze of cologed light. It was a few minutes after 8 o’clock when the parade started from Capp and Twenty- second streets, the point. of formation. The following clubs lined up with, full membership: i Imperidl Cyeling Club, Olympic Club Wheel- men, Bay City Wheelmen, California Cycling Club, Y. M. C. A. Cycling Club, Pathfinders’ Cycling Club, Liberty Cycling Club, Crescent Cycling Club, California Camers Cyclists, Golden Gate Cycling Club, Royal Cycling Club, Pacific Cycling Glub, Outing Road Club, Knock- abouts, " Eintracht Cycling Club, Comus | Cycling Annex. It was Chairman ‘Wynne’s general invi- tation to all persons having wheels that swelled the procession to dimensions the like. of .which has never.been seen in a wheel parade before on the Pacific Coast. The unattached wheelmen far outnum- bered the regular cyclers, and included a lot of lady eyclers, who covered the entire route, receiving a great deal of applause from the assembled crowds along the street. The riders nearly all carried Japa- nese lanterns, and as they moved down the brilliantly lighted streets made a most picturesque scene. |~ Captain_Charles Johnson of the Im- | perial Club acted as grand marshal, and at the head of his organization léd the gayly | decorated cyclers oyer the line of march. H.F. Wynne of the California C{cling Club was chief aid, and his club held sec- | ond placein_line, being followed by the | other organizations in the order given | above. | From the point of formation the line moved down Cag to Twenty-second, to Shotwell, down Shotwell to Twenty-first, down Twenty-first to Folsom, along Fol- som to Twenty-sixth, countermarching to Nineteenth, countermarching to Twenty- | first and up Twenty-first W"(Fapp. | The course of the procession along Fol- | som street was a continual ovation. The | thoroughfare was thronged” with people, jand the wheelmen were salutedpewith cheers and the waving®f handkerchiefs. At Folsom and Tw -second streets, under the windows ¢f the California Cycling Club, which was' gayly decorated, a speakers’ stand was erested, and there 'the crowd gathered ‘in 5"””“ number. As the wheelmen passed they were re- ceived with cheers.and music. Red fire was lighted from ‘corner build- ings and thousands-of skyrocketswere set continuously until after disbandment, when the immense crowd pressed closer around the speakers’ stand. Trnel s The committee having 'in charge this part of the %rogrammewas made up ‘of members of the several Mission improve- ment clubs, as follows: George Raabe, A. B. McGuireé, Harry Somers, J. B. Rider, J. C. Flood, Henry Wynne, A. C. Weisler. Captain Raabe opened the meeting with a short speech, in which he briefly out- lined the object of the demonstration. He declared that Folsom street must have bitumen to replace the warnout cobble- stone pavement now in use, and that only concerted -action :on the.part of. citizens could obtain the improvement desired. He congratulated the seople on the success of their parade, and assured them that the only way to get anything in the way of better streets was to Keep hammer- ing until.the City authorities were forced to take cognizance of the appeal. He eventually expected to see the Folsom- street boulevard extended to San Jose an beyond. William M. Bunker was the next speaker. . He said that the people had gone about the agitation for better streets 1n the right way. The movement deserved the support of all good ¢itizens. It was in the line of progress, and he hoped to see many such meetings. Captain Raabe then introduced George D. .Shadbourne. “The people are .wi you,” said Mr. Shadbourne. ‘“Public' opinion is with you, and I believe the Supervisors are with you.~ What more can you ask? You cannot fail in this move- ment. I am for progressive San Francisco, always.” C. C. Terrill warmly jndorsed the objects of the meeting. It is a shame,” said he, +‘and a disgrace that we have not had these improvements years ago.” Supervisor Hobbs of the Eleventh Ward was received with cheers.

Oscar Lewis echoed the sentiments of the Srenoqs speakers, and then gave way.to upervisor Hirsch of the Fourth Ward, who spoke briefly to the same effect as those who had preceded him. A. B. McGuire read the following reso- lutions which were unanimously adopted by a deafening chorus of ayes and a salute from the band, after which the meeting adjourned with the singing of “America” by the crowd: WHEREAS, The condition of streets in the Mission and south side istrict is and for years has been a disgrace to a city of the size and in- fluence of San Francisco; and whereas, the necessity of repaving Folsom street gives the, olll)portunny Of beginning the rule of replacing the wornout cobbles and biocks by a better pavement; and whereas, seven blocks of Fol- som street, from Nineteenth to Twenty-sixth streets, are already paved with bituminous rock: therefore, be it Resolved, That we urge the Board of Super- :visors to pave Folsom street with bitumen in- :“ mg% I:p};citng the womoutn zslongi blocik: , that ar t.huv.hoxvng & e present obstructions . George W.'Elder has -submitted the fol- lowing estimate to the .Folsom-street im- pruvkement Club relative to the proposed Work: SAN FrANCISCo, May 21, 1895. A. B. Maguire Esq., San_Francisco,Cal.—DEAR Smr: Complying with the requestof several members of the Folsom.street Improvement Club I herewith submit an estimate of the cost of paving Folsom street with bituminous Tock from East street to Third and from Third loNineteenth. On Folsom street from East to Third there are 99,333 square feet to be paved i:qlt“isnlvoe g! n;at r;i&xlnx Tequired by ll;v‘to be p rder ) company havin; tracks thereon. S 5 The maximum cost of said pavement will be 20 cents per equare foot, or 15,886, 60, On Folsom street, from Third to Nineteenth, there are 310,000- lalll!e feet to be paved, ex- clusive of that ‘wr on required by law to be kept in order by the railroad compan; tracks thereon. The maximum cost 0¥ £aid portion of Folsom street would be 3 The total maximum cost of the pavement irom East street to Nineteenth would be I 1f the following plan, ouglly invesiigated apd ving 2,000. which I cal, is adopted a better foundation for the pavement will be secured and the cost of the above work will be reduced by $10,000 or 2}4 cents_per square foot. My plan is to use & portable rock crusher on the street and con- vert the present basalt block ana cobble pave- ment into concrete rock. - The concrete rock ls)mdnced will be superior o the rock now used for street work, and it -will cost less to convert the Yresenz payement into concrete work than it will cost to haul the cobbles and basalt blocks to the Corporation Yard. By adopting this plan the entire cost will be $71,886. Respectiully submitted, GEORGE W. ELDER. THE DOG FANCIERS. The Pacific Kennel Club Did Not Hold Its Annual Meeting Last - Evening. Through some mistake on the part of the secretary of the Pacific Kennel Club, the members were not notified that the annual meeting and election of officers of the club was to be held on the fourth Wednesday in May, which was last evening. As the regular monthly meeting of the club will be held on the Krst Wednesday in June, it is Yresumed that the election will then be held. % It is said that the club came out about $300 ahead in the bench show. The new system of benching was very expensive, and owing to this fact the ciub did not realize as much gain as it would have ac- complished under the old style, which, generally speaking, would have answere to the satisfaction of the exhibitors. The new system of benching was unquestion- ably a great improvement, however. P e STRANGLED TO DEATH. Thomas King Commits Suicide in the City Receiving Hospital. Thomas King, a miner, living at 462 Minna street, was taken to the Receiving Hospital shortly after 8 o’clock last night as he was believed to be insane. His wife said he had attempted to cut his throat with a knife. King was thoroughly searched and two pairs of sharp scissors,a knife and other articles were taken out of his pockets. He was placed in one of the padded cells. About twenty minutes Steward Alexander saw him' sitting in the cell all right, but fifteen minutes after he found him dead, He 'had taken a band that supported his trousers, tied it firmly round his neck and strangled himself. He | ‘was 70 years of age. Among his papers was a note showin, that he had contemplated suicide - an asking that' the Pioneers’ Society should look after his funeral. - “THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE 'IS HAPPY, FRUITFUL MARRIAGE.” Every Man Who Would Know the Grand Truths, the Plain Facts, the New Discoveries of Medical Science as Applied to Married Life, Who Would Atone for Past Errors and Avoid Future Pitfalls, Should Secure the Wonderful Little Book Called % Complete Manhood, and How to At- tain It.”” “Here at last is information from a high medical source that must work wonders with this generation of men.” The book fully describes a method by which toattain full vigor and manly power.
