4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE .5, 1895. THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Rey Alfonso Delighted His Ad- mirers, Running a Very Fast Race. LLOYD ONCE MORE INJURED. Heavily Backed, Sir Reel, With Weber Up, Was Left Standing at the Post. George Rose, the bookmaker, will leave for Chicago about the 15th of the present month. But for Captain Rees’ bad habit of bearing in toward therail, the finish between him and Rey Alfonso wounld have been much closer. After getting two lengths the best of the start with Nellie G in the third race, and lead- ing into the stretch by six lengths, Shaw gave 8 most realistic exhibition of how a race can be thrown awey, and was beaten out halfa length. Jockey L.Lloyd is having more than his share ot ill-fortune of late. Only a few days ago he was thrown while working out a horse and badly bruised, and terday he again received a painful injury. After pulling up Major Cook, which he had ridden in the second race, he was returning to the judges’ stand on & jog when the Major suddenly bolted in toward the rail. One of Lloyd’s feet caught between two of the pick- ets, with the result that he received a badly sprained foot that will keep him on crutches for some time. The rickety racing of late has had a very perceptible effect on the attendance at the Bay District, for w a very fair card was offered to race-goers yesterday, the scantiness of the crowd was marked both in the bettingringand balconies. Another very necessary adjunct to a racetrack of which there is a most noticeable scarcity is coin. Men with information are plentiful, but with the “necessary’’--wanting. But two out of five favorites won and the pencilers had the best of the debate. A mild kick was registered in the first race by the talent, Starter Merrell drop- ping his flag with the heavily backed Sir Reel, with Weber up, standing at the post. Rey Alfonso buoyed up the spirits of his doubting admirers by again showing some of his old-time speed in the last race of the day, at six and a half furlongs. The field pitted against him was a good one, com- prising Captain Rees, who,wvent to the post a 7 to 10 favorite, Charmion and Howard. The speedy son of Prince of Norfolk always had threes about him in the ring. Suiting his style, Chevalier skimmed to the front with Rey Alfonso when the flag | fell, soon opening up a gap of four length with Howard in hot pursuit. As th turned into the stretch it looked for a moment as though Howard would catch him, but he shortly after gave it up, and Weber began in earnest on the favorite. Although catching the flying leader fast, Captain Rees’ bad habit of swerving in | operated against him and he was_beaten out three of a length. Charmion was an ordinary third. The race was a fast one, the official time marking 1:201¢. The opening dash, at five and a half fur- longs, ended most disastrously for_ the | talent. The sulking Carmel won in a drive from Normandie, the second choice, with 12 to 1 against him. _\merica, the 9 to 5| favorite, away very poorly when the flag | fell, was a good third. Sir Reel was left at | bydropath and champion | accepted ideas as to the location of the Cripple 107, Arnette 92, Trx 92, Centurion 87, th race, one and a half nules, steeplechase (short course), non-winners in on- naught 132, Esperance 127, Longwell 132, Vulean 132 Alexis 130, Mutineer 127, Major Cook 122. EDWARDS' NEW RECORD. He Clips Two-Fifths of a Second From the Five-Mile Road Time. One more record has been added to tne credit of the red and white of the Olympiz Club, for in a magnificent race against time Sunday J. E. Edwards clipped two- fifths of a second from the record for five miles on the road, made a few Sundays ago by Byrnes of the Imperial Cycling Club of this City. Byrnes' time was 12:132-5, Edwards’ time yesterday was 12:13 even. In the race the Olympic man was paced by two tapndems. On that which ran the first two and a half miles Fuller and Lem- mon pedaled for dear life. There was some hitch in the start, the tandem not starting successfully, and while it hesi- tated Edwards was let go. He shotby the tandem like the wind, and in a moment Fuller and Lemmon dug after him as fast as they could drive the machine, but the run had been passed before they took their place just ahead of the record-breaker- Hale and Hobson made the pace for the latter half of the five miles, and they gave a good one, but in spite of their speed Ed- wards passed them in a finishing spurt, and crossed the line a couple of lengths ahead. Edwards’ performance established a new Coast record for the five-miie road run. His race was, with the exception of the acing, run under favorable circumstances, Por the road was in excellent condition and the wind was not an adverse one. The judges were J. W. Coffroth and W. E. Unger. The timers were G. L. Badger, A. Montealegre and G. H. Stratton. The course was the same over which Byrnes ran—from San Mateo to San Carlos. A CHANGEABLE BULLSEYE Dr. Riehl Says That It Is Not Always Where It Seems to Be. If the Theorist Is Correct Sharp- shooters Must Change Their Sights. Every marksman in this vicinity, and there are thousands of them, will pay more than passing attention to a new theory re- cently advanced by S. Riehl, a noted long-distance swimmer of the Pacific Coast, himself an expert on the rifle range. In fact not only to local marksmen will it come as a sur- prise, not to say a shock, but it will cer- tainly engage the attention of target shots the world over once the doctor has con- cluded his researches and given them to the world, as he intends to do. To begin with it upsets all the heretofore bullseye. The doctor holds that, for a short period of the day only, the bullseve is in the place it seems to be, and that a marksman drawing a dead bead at any other period of the day on what he thinks is the desired black spot will hit outside of it. No one must think from this that the coveted bullseye changes its spots like the leopard or the beautiful chameleon, Not the post. E { Major Cook with his blinkers was the | choice of the talent for the mext race, | oing to the post 11 to 5. Monitor and Gypsette gelding were next in demand at | 5to 2 each. Monitor led all the way, win- | ning by a head from the Gypsette gelding, | with Major Cook a good third. i The favorite managed to steal the third | race through a jockey's carelessness. Nick | Hall’s Tar and Tartar was adecided choice, going to the post at even money. Rico was | a well-backed second choice, but the money | layed on Nellie G and the others was | imited. ! Failing to drop his flag to a splendid | break, Merrell finally swished the bunting | to a very ragged go, Nellie G getting nearly | three lengths the best of the break. She led into the stretch by a big margin, but | Shaw went duck-shooting down near the eighth pole, and Sloane persevering with the favorite nipped the gray mare out at | the wire. Rico was third a2 neck further | away. The fouzth event on the card, a mile sell- infi.race. was nothing but a gallop for White & Ciarke’s €ommission, the 9 to 10 favorite, who lay second to Garcia until | well into the streieh, when he came on and won as he liked from the Wildidle gelding. Hy Dy, weil sup orted in the ring, finished third. APH,HOLL.\.\‘D. SUMMARY.

The bullseye remains fixed surely enough, but the refraction of the rays of the sun at the different periods of the day operates so as to cause a simple optical illusion, which causes the marks- man to imagine that the bullseye is where it is not. This is rather rough on some of the crack shots of the country, who have been knocking out bullseyes for these many years at all hours of the day and in all sorts of weather. Naturally they will maintain that the bullseye is all right and that all this talk of optical illusion is mere fanciful bosh. They will stoutly hold that every center they have scored is theirs by right of superior skill and steady aim, Dr. Riehl's new theory to the contrary not- withstanding. This will leave the burden of proof upon the doctor, and to support his theory he must amplify it until nota shadow of doubt is left. As near as can be ascertained, for Dr. Riehl guards his pet theory with jealous care, he fixes that hour of the day when the sun is at its zenith as the only Emper time to hit the center without a wobble or fluke. At that time, and that time only, can the shot with a steady hand and a true eye send his bullet to the black spot in the desert of target. At all other times the best shots must lose, and only those made unsteadily can hope to hit the mark—acci- dentally, of course. In a general way, the theory hasit, the refraction of the rays of the sun is greatest as they penetrate the longest distance through the atmosphere. This is good hysics, and so far the doctor’s idea is gound to hold good. At the first peep of the sun and atits final dip into the west- ern sea, the rays would have to travel through a greater length of earth’s atmos- phere than at any other period of the day, the refraction becoming less and less body is at its zenith, when there would be least, or practically none at ail. Then as the earth turned and the sun descended to the west the rays would be refracted in such a way as to form the illusion which Dr. Riebl contends must necessarily interfere with the aim of the true marksman. That is the entire theory, as far as de- veloped, and Dr. Riehl is prepared to prove it shortly to the satisfaction cf the most credulous marksman or the greatest scientist. He has shot maryelously well for centers and his'sons after him, and has studied the art of nlugiing the bullseye very assiduously. His theory, therefore, is worthy of more than passing considera- tion, and may ultimately lead to changes in rifle-sighting tended to set off the inter- Iirence of the atmosphere with the rays of the sun.

Under the conditions of their agreement the foal would have be- }gfilged to Mrs. Stanford if it had been a illy. e On the Diamond. BALTIMORE, Mp., June 4.—Baltimores 10, bese hits 14, errors 3.

Animals With Docked Talls Are Not Wanted In the Land of Polo. “Not another pound of vegetables will be purchased from you,” said the im- ported steward, Mr. Blingum, of the Bur- lingame Club when Wong Fow, who sup- plies the club . with cabbage and divers kind of vegetables, made his appearance at headquarters yesterday. “Wha' fo’? Wha's matter?” asked Wong Fow, as he looked at the steward in surprise. “Oh, I’ve not got the time to discuss the matter with you now. The upshot of the whole thing is that you are no longer re- quired about these premises. Now drive rather than suffer an ignominous defeat, theywill politely decline Mr. Oelrichs’ kind offer to zoWest and get a whipping. How- ever, if half a dozen good amateur boxers representing New York should visit this City, the sport of fisticuffs would receive a great impetus. The handful of amateur athletes California sent East surprised those who thought that the West was still in the silurian age. —————— ALL OBSTACLES REMOVED. Jim Corbett and Fitzsimmons May Do Some Fighting. NEW YORK, N. Y,, June 4—The fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons is now an assured fact. All the obstacles have been removed. Joe Vendig, the repre- sentative of the Florida Athletic Club, said to-night: “The money, $7000, was handed to the temporary stakeholder, Phil Dwyer, to-day. There is absolutely no chance for a kick-up this time, and I am ready to wager any amount at odds of 10 to 1 that the principals enter the ring, and Iam sure there will be a fight worth looking at, not only from a scientific point, but ene that will decide championship of the world.” Corbett is said to be going to work at As- bury Park in preparing for the mill, but Fitzsimmons says he will train close to the battle gronnd, possibly at Galveston. The former has the call among the sporting fraternity, his chances of winning being looked upon as the most likely by the bet- ting men here. DALLAS, Tex., June 4.—E. H. R.Green, A METAMORPHOSIS THAT COST WONG FOW THE PATRONAG OF BURLIN GAME, along; I do not require any more of your stuff. Do you understand?” It was Steward Blingum who addressed the Mongolian, but the latter insisted on knowing the reason_why his greens were not any longer required. Blingum wore a look of disgust on his sun-tanned features as he feasted his eyes on the mule, which was loaded with vege- tables, and as the ariver of the old ani- mal, which had seen many days of hard service, refused to vacate the premises without an explanation, Mr. Blingum tooted a big brass horn and a retinue of liveried servants appeared in an instant as 1f ordered by Aladdin, the man who was alleged to have been gifted with super- natural powers, When poor Wong Fow beheld the army of servants marching toward him he knew then that his prospect for further argu- ment on vegetable matter with Steward Blingum was fruitless, and, rather than bring down upon his pig-tailed head the vituperation and fists of well-fed attend- ants, he quietly withdrew, wondermg what on earth he counld possibly have done to arouse the wrath and animosity of the §ood and formerly kind steward of the amous Burlingame Club. The story of the Chinaman’s misfortune in having lost a first-class customer is told as follows by one of the employes of Bur- lingame: On last Saturday evering Wong Fow de- livered to the steward of Burlingame an assortment of fruits and vegetables, but while in the act of placing his waresina compartment assigned for greens of divers kinds some practical joker took advantage of the opportunity to dock the tail of the mulewhich had done such valuable tramp- ing for its master through the green ways of San Mateo Couuéy. Of course the Chinaman noticed the dis- appearance of the animal’'s queue, but rather than create a disturbance which might possibly lose him a good customer, he said nota word, but leit the aemesne, thinking, as Orientals will think, y-l);(nt fools white men can be when full of jokes. The docking of the mule’s tail was fatal to poor Wong Fow, however, as when he next appeared at the gates of the great western emporium of all-round sport, with his charger, Steward Blingum grew very angry. e thought, like a majority of imported stewards would think, that the docking of the tail of a plebeian’s animal was a severe commentary on the crackeri'm:k ponies which the gentlemen of the club prize so highly in times of peace, and surmising that the poor and inoffensive vegetable- peddler had accomplished the trick with a view of securing an increase of trade at club quarters he summarily dismissed him from the premises with strict orders never to enter upon the grass of the preserve again, Whether the Chinaman will enter suit against the steward for insubordination or for having ejected him (Wong Fow) from the grounds under false representation is a uestion which will be decided at a near uture date. WHEEL, GLOVE AND GUN, What the Olympic Gun Club Intends Doing—The Eastern and West- ern Boxers. The monthly meeting of the Olympic Gun Club will be held on the evening of the 6th inst., when classification and other matters of importance will be transacted. The organization of a trap-shooters’ asso- ciation will be considered at a special meet- ing on Saturday evening, the 8th inst. The club’s regular monthly shoot will be held next day at the Oakland Trotting Park. The annex of the Camera Club’s cyclists will hold a moonlight run to Ocean Beach via Golden Gate park this evening. The wheelmen will meet at Stanyan-street en- trance to the Park at 8 o’clock. Members are requested tocarry lanterns and bells on their wheels. The next meeting of the club will be held on the 6th inst. Superintendent Kennedy of the Olympic | Club has received information from Her- man Oelrichs that if successful in his scheme to induce six or eight of the cham- rion amateur boxers of the Eastern ath- etic clubs to visit this City in August next, the members of the Olympic Club will be treated to a great feast of fisticuffs. Mr. Oelrichs is perfectly willing to defray the expenses of the Eastern men to and from this coast provided that he can get the cream of the Eastern amateur boxers to consent to a trip of this kind, The boxers of the Olympic Club are of the opinion that Mr. Oellgchs will fail in his negotia- tions with the Eastern men because the latter are already well posted in the excel- lent boxing abilities of theWesterners, and president of the Texas Midland Railroad, and J. 8. Grinnan, president of the Board of Trade, both of Terrel, Tex., thirty miles east of Dallas, telegraphed Corbett to-day offering training grounds and every con- venience he wants. They ask Corbett to offer suggestions as to what he needs for himself and trainers. The first big bet recorded to-day on the fight makes the odds 3 to 2 on Corbett, Mr. Green put uj against by John W. ])u‘x)m of hm, t%e wells-mw; theatrical manager, who is here on private business. RS T e Royal Yaeht Club Regatta. HARWICH, Exc., June 4.—The regatta of Royal Harwich Yacht Club continued to-day with races over the same coutses as yesterday. For yachts over,forty tons the course was thirty-seven miles, and for 20-raters twenty-two miles. The Prince of Wales’ Britannia crossed the starting line half a minute ahead of A. B. Walker’s Ailsa. The wind waslight. Howard Gould’s Niagara had the weather berth, and at the beginning of the race led Prince Battuny- any-Strattman’s Stephanie and Lord Dun- FERRY SALOON LOOTED. Over $1200 in Cash and Stock Valued at $10,000 Stolen. NO TRACE OF THE THIEVES. The Crime Committed Late Sunday Night or Early. Monday Morning. One of the most daring burglaries ever perpetrated in San Francisco took place Sunday night or early Monday morning. At some hour during the time named the Ferry saloon was entered and robbed of money and valuables to the amount of nearly $1500. ‘When Teddy Osborne, whose duty it is to open the saloon, arrived at his place of business Monday morning he was aston- ished to find the rear door open, though for the moment the idea of thieves having been in the place did not occur to him. A few moments’ investigation, however, showed conclusively that the place had been entered and robbed, though the extent of the loss was mot fully known until yesterday morn- ing. At that time " the proprietor, Hirschley, who was away on a visit, returned and the loss was approximately estimated. The two cash registers in the saloon had been broken open, as well as the one in the wholesale department, and the contents of the drawers, amounting to several hundred dollars, taken. In ad- divion to this the safe had been opened and every dollar as well as $10,000 in stock and a lot of jewelry were stolen. In the safe was a check for $175, indorsed, but the midnight marauders evidently did not care to take any chances, for this valuable paper was undisturbed. 'here is a hallway leading back to Sac- ramento street, and it is supposed that the robber concealed himself in a lot of saw- dust contained in one of the vacant rooms, committing the crime at an hour when he was least likely to be disturbed. Mr, Hirschley, the proprietor, left the City Sunday morning for a brief jaunt in the country, and the first intimation he had of the robbery was the receipt of a telegram from Osborne announcing the fact. He hurried to the City at once, and placed the mattar in the hands of the de- tectives. So far they have been unable to find any trace of the thieves, though they are keeping a sharp lookout on several persons who are known to be familiar with the place. THE CALL CHAPEL OUTING, The Fifth Annual Excursion to Be Held at Camp Taylor To-Morrow. A Pictorial Invitation Issued —An Enjoyable Time Is Assured.
