THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY. JUNE 16, 1895, THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Scenting aJob, Judges Declare Bets Off on the Steeple-~ chase. ONLY TWO FAVORITES WON. The Mile and a Quarter Handlcap Taken by the Outsider Del Norte. Johnny Epperson, who rode Mero, was tem- porarily suspended. Piggott's ride on Del Norte was a very pret- tily timed piece of horsemanship. With 110 pounds up imp. Santa Bella ran as fit would take & good one to lower her colors, and her owner, Mr. Macdonough, was of that opinion yesterday. Mat Storn, owner of Del Norte, was warmly congratulated by his friends on the victory of his brown horse. Mat's horses have met with POOrT success for some time and the win was a popular one. One of the most disgruntled-looking men on the track when bets were declared off on the steeplechase was Jim Neal. Jim had a good bet down on Mestor, the first one he had won in two weeks, and then to have bets declared off. For A moment the owner of Perhaps was disgusted with the turf and a spectator might have purchased a string of thoroughbreds cheap. The climatic change from fog to sun- shine had a decidedly beneficial effect on the attendance at the track yesterday, the grand stand and balconies with their crowds resembling very much the days of Rey el Santa Anita and horses ike furnished the opportunity of The same crowd filled the bet- ring, there were the usual number of registered, the nine bookmakers laid t of odds they saw fit and took in seve rels of coin. But two oi the six favorites won and the talent left the track feeling a bit nettied inwardly. About the only unusual incident to oc- cur during the day was the declaring off of bets on the steeplechase. Mestor won the race easily at odds of 8 to 1, with Mero sec- ond and e Lark third. The judges did not like the looks of the ride Epperson put up on Mero, who was one of the first choices, thinking he took his horse entirely too far out of the race before making his tin; “kicks” run, and after deliberation decided to de- 11 be clare off. Guadaloupe and Men- the last jump, and the “good ’ Morgan G, after leading for a good portion of the distance, fell back, finishing with the also rans. Favorites fared poorly in both of the handicaps, the talent being dumped hard. Walcott was in: led a 9 to 3 choice for the short six-furlong sprint for members ear-old division, a strong play c price to 7 to 5 at post time. Instigator had second call with threes about him, with Mr. Macdonough’s hand- some imported filly Santa Bella choice at 414 to 1. The favorite's chances looked dark from the fall of the flaz. Her Majesty headed Santa Beua past the half, where the Eng- lish Miss went to the front and led to the wire, winning handily by two lengths. ‘Walcott, none too well ridden by C.

To the doubting Thomases who are ever asserting that the cost of a bicycle is in- consequential compared to its selling price the following brief sketch of the material that enters into the integral parts of a wheel are here enumerated : A machine was recently ‘‘dissected” and BREATHED MOUNTAIN AIR. Merchants Recreate Among the Trees of the Santa Cruz Hills. FORGOT SHOPS FOR ONE DAY. Thelr Eighth Annual Outing Was a Big Success—Winners of the Races. The wholesale merchants and their sales- men, clerks and employes took a day off vesterday. and enjoyed it. It was a day far away from the smoke and dust, away from desks, books and packages of goods, away from the dull brown and gray of city life, and out among the sylvan shades of the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the air is sweet, trees are nature’s walls and green is the refreshing color that fills the eye. The occasion was the eighth annual excursion and picnic of the merchants, and this time it was held at Glenwood. And such a day! Could the weather have been better? Nature was in her most agreeable mood, and from wavelet and fern flashed back the golden sunshine. There are some people who think nature is a sort of lifeless, mechanical arrange- ment, but a jaunt such as yesterday’s makes one incline to the belief that she has a grand and beautiful soul, and, in California particularly, wears a smiling countenance for the man of commerce as well as for the plain and simple tiller of the soil. The manof commerce fell in love with her at Glenwood. About eight years ago Arthur R. Briggs, then editing the Grocer and Country Mer- chant, and Charles R. King of the Pacific Vinegar and Pickle Works, the secretary of the merchants’ general committee yes- terday, made a call upon Frank S. John- son of the Johnson-Locke Company, who was at that time William T. Coleman’s right-hand man, and suggested that a mer- | chants’ picnic might be a very good thing. | It had been tried, they said, in Cincinnati, ! Philadelphia, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minne- | apolis, St. Paul and St. Louis, and had Ciugr Company, San Francisco: Pienic or bust Look out for .

Browne, President Merchants' Pic- mie, care of William Cluff Company, San Fran- cisco: 1 will be with you in spirit if not in per- son at the annual outing. A. F. BAUMGARTNER, Past President. The trip to Glenwood was enlivened by the old plantation songs, with banjo ac- companiment, of Willlam Woods, the happy colored minstrel—always happy and musical, and whose open countenance was a cause of continual laughter, emphasized as it was by two long rows of gleaming white téeth and a capacious throat. Woods is a genuine Southern darky who thinks life is one huge joke for his par- ticular benefit, and rolls the whites of his eyes as often as he grins. Consequently bis shining sable face is much broader than long. ’ As soon as the two strings of cars had rolled through the tunnels and stopped at Glenwood the Japanese parasols and fans were put to their proper use, and the pic- nickers strolled among the trees in the search for quiet nooks in which to eat their basket lunches, which they had brought along. Sandwiches, hard-boiled €eggs, pies and cakes, soon disappeared, for the appetites were good, and then the foot- races began, according to the series pub- lished in yesterday’s CALL. The first race was for porters only, and Messrs. Schelly, Russell, Martinelli, Sculiy, Collins and Eagan entered, with the result that Mr. Eagan won the first prize, a case of Cutter whiskey; Mr. Russell took sec- ond, a case of oriental soap, and Mr. McIn- tyre third, a case of lavarine. Girls between 10and 15 years ran the next ra yrl Allen winning the pair of gloves, Hattie Wagner she pocketbook and Julia Hensley the box of of gum. Stanley Fay, Robert Duane, J. J. Cronin, J. E. Hardman, J. F. Prescott and W. J. Gilbert entered for the salesmen’s sprinting dash, Mr. Fay securing the case of Jesse Moore AA whisky, Mr. Hardman the twelve-pound caddy of tobacco and Mr. Gilbert the box of cigars. The married ladies’ race was run by: Mesdames Casey, McKenzie, Eagan, Shelly, Allen and Abbiatti. Mrs. Shelly finished first, winning the dozen Maggi Bouillon; Mrs. Casey was a close second, and got the box of tea, and Mrs. Abbiatti was a smart third, and was rewarded with the quarter gross of enameline. For the boys' race nine entered, namely : C. Teller, H. Fairkind, J. Sullivan, G. Conlan, C. Hay, J. F. Sullivan, A. Hen- sley, E. Herzog and F. Petrie. Young Teller won it and now possesses a gilt- edged edition of Shakespeare, Master Herzog being awarded the case of claret as secured the place in a drive from Don Gara. le_and a quarter handicap for the division, fourth on the card, was even a still more crushing blow fo the ont.. The heavy-weights, Mr. e and McLight, opened equal choices to1each, the latter occupying_ the r at post time, with tw: bout 1e last moment a stiff play cut st Little Cripple from 7 to The handicappers took a fall out of te, in at 80 pounds, with the juicy is of 10 to 1 against him. The only tedious delay at the post during the day occurred in this race, some thirty- inutes being consumed before the ally fell. sing the stand Emma with Mr. Jingle at Ler head, led the procession. After six furlongs had been traversed the Montana filly relinquished the lead to Mr. Jingle, and "the Mr. Pick- wick horsc headed the bunch into the stretch, with the outsider, Del Norte, on which Piggott was beginning to make his ride, at his head. Roma was third, and Weber squeezed shrough next to the rail with Little Cripple, taking fourth position. Below the eighth pole from home Mr. Jingle, when pressed by Del Norte, quit 1 back. The outsider now had clear ailing, and won very handily by a length and a half in 2:091. In a drive Little Cripple beat Roma out a neck for the place. McLight seemed to be in difficulties from the start. and never looked dangerous. A cheap selling race over the short six- furlong course opened the card, and was won easily by Seaside, who opened equal favorite with St. Elmo, but went back in the betting to4tol. Amigoat7to 2 was a fair second, two lengths ahead of the favorite, St. Elmo. With a stable-boy up, Arnette receded in the betting from twos to 3 to 1 during the betting on the third race, a six-furlong dash, finally closing at 13 to 5. It quickly developed " that Lady Jaune was the “‘scorcher,” her price quickly being cut from 3 to 2to 1. She lea all the way, win- ning by halfa length from Arnette, who would have won by a block with a good ride. McFarlane finished a good third. The owner of Tillie S was positive his mare would win the last race at six fur- longs, and equally positive were the back- ers of Hyman that the son of Himyar would win, consequently some lively bet- ting ensued. Opening at 2 to 1 the odds against Hyman came down with a bang to even money, later going back to 9 to 5, when he was again backed down to 6 to 5 as the horses went to the post. Tillie S opened at 6 to 5 and closed at even money. Blue Bell, a 12 to 1 outsider, led the bunch until well into the stretch, where Tillie 8 drew away and won easily. Blue Beli lasted long enough to beat The Drum- merout by a nose forsecond place. Hyman ran well to the head of the stretch, where he quit. MULHOLLAND.

In athoroughly high grade bicycle each One or tne integral elements is made by a costly piece of machinery operated by skilled artisans, whose attention to detail and accuracy are assured facts. The ma- chinery employed in the majority of cycle factories to-day is of an antomatic nature, and the cost of some runs up into hun- dreds of thousands of dollars. Then take into consideration the capital invested in buildings and material in conjuction with the necessary expenditure for the proper marketing and selling of the product, such as advertising, clerk and salesman hire, depreciation of machinery and tools and other innumerable facts, it will be readily seen that a first-class machine costs far more than the average buyer imagines. Mr. S. W. E. Hawkins, advertising man- ager of the Stearns bicycles, says in the Newspaver Maker that niext vear, after the resent contracts expire, bicycle advertis- ng will be done mainly in the daily papers instead of in the monthlies as now. he daily paper is the paper of the present. The magazine is to it what the almanac is to the morning’s weather report. ——— Manufacturing Bicycles. A local concern known as Ed Church & Co. has been making bicycles at 420 Hayes street for the past week, and has turned out eight wheels. A number of orders have been re- ceived and Mr.Church ciaims that the in. dustry bids fair to rival the Eastern concerns, which heve now more orders from California than they can attend. Nearly all the material used is imported from the East, but this stuff has also to be bought by the Eastern manu- facturers, according to Mr. Church, and for that reason the local concern claims its ability proved a great success as a form of recre- ation to trade-worn business men. The suggestion developea with a little pushing into an excursion at Laurel Grove, near San Rafael. The first tr: there brought only 180 people, and Messrs. Briggs, King and Johnson were beginning to feel that San Francisco was not quite ready for that sort of thing, but before the day was | over there were fully 1200 people gathered | on the ground. Since that time there has been another | excursion to Laurel Grove, two to Peta- luma, one to Schuetzen Park and two to | Camn Taylor, yesterday’s being the first | to Glenwood. The turnout yesterday was fully all that | could have been desired, as probably over two thousand ladies and gentlemen and bright-looking children boarded the nar: row-gauge ferry steamer Newark at 8:15 | A. M., and after crossing the bay filled two | long trains of twenty-five cars. | It was a pleasant, sociable, democratic, | cleangathering, in harmony with the | good humor of a California summer day, | with straw hats in abundance and Japa- | nese_parasols and fans galore, thanks to Mr. King’s kind forethought. The men who are busy handling a bi, City’s cominerce six days for every weeg {in ‘the year did not take their outing for | the_purpose of loading extra lubor upon | their shoulders; so for one day, at least, they threw all business cares behind their backs, straightened their bodies—some of which were of jolly rotundity and conid tip the scales over the 200-pound mark— | and for once filled their lungs with the free air of the country, and feasted their eyes upon the sheen of the water, the hazy hills and the softly shaded glens. And nobody talked “shop.”’ The ride to Glenwood was a good long rest, and so was the ride bacfi. At the picnic grounds there was a littie pro- gramme of races, by way of diversion, and dancing to the music of George L. Blake's band. Coming home the air was well re- aid for its exhilarating influence by lessts. Leon A. Maison of F. H. Ames & Co., Stanley Fay, F. O. Carmack, Dun- ham’s cocoanut pusher, and others who know how to use their voices and winning ways to advantage in recreation as well as in ‘business. They sang much. and occa- sionally recited and imitated and eiocuted and kept their train glad of heart all the way. The first thing President Thomas H. Browne did when he got the opportunity was to read the following two tefzgrums: CORNWALL, June 14. to compete with the houses across the Rockies. President Thomas H. Browne, care of William second prize and Master Hensley securing the case of perfume. So far all had been gentle merriment, but the real fun was to be had in the next race—that of the fat men weighing over 200 pounds. It was run by Harry A. Roesler and P.J, | Kennedy of the William_Cluff Company, D. M. Caslin and Daniel H. Haskell, cap- tain of the tug Fearless. Roesler has a record of several annual victories, but came near losing this time. Down the narrow and dusty track they puffed and perspired, Kennedy holding on to Roesler. “Let go!” yelled Roesler. *‘You’ll make me lose this race.” ““Oh, you'll win it all right, and if I hang | on to you I'll be sure of second place,”’ was | Kennedy’s assuring response. | _And so it turned out, the pail of grease offered as the third prize, going to Captain Haskell, who is not much accustomed to navigating on land anyhow. This gave to Mr. Roesler the case of Noble whisky and to Mr. Kennedy the box of cigars. Mr. Roesler had offered to share the whisky with his colleague anyhow. The last race was for young ladies. The Misses Cronin, Smith, Kennedy, Stone, | Wimscher, Bartman and Eagan’ entered, and Miss Maggie Cronin won the pair of French kid shoes, Miss Juanita Smith the box of tea and Miss Teresa Bartman the Y. A. cheese. Chairman Kennedy of the games com- mittee then read the numbers of the gate prizes, which can be obtained by calling at the William Cluff Company. There were 165 of them, as follows: 9, 9, 1388, 1655, 161, 1454, , 352, 1683, 1811, 1515, 1456, 395, 518, 1669, 196, 1915, 1933, 1348, 129, 304, 131, 102, 1709, 1603. 1227, 410, 35 302, 1482, 133. 1610, 575, 1724, 1263, 9, 290, 1949, 141, 1803, 211, 1365, 61, 559, 18, 1258, 59, 1290, 312, 1695, 29, 1813, 1792,'520, 328, 1288, 1854, 1 , 1535, 408, 197, 237, 1395, 50, 570, 1608, 258, 191, 1254, 1842, 1449, 1444, 177,78, 354, 1539. 1. 587. 1635, 517,537,1843, 1389, 539, 525, 1993, 1853, 1664, 1628, 417, 1476, 1945, 1816. 91, 163, 3¢ 593, 1638, 1437, 253, 1839, 150, 1922, 1410, 1442, 1490, 1630, 1207, 1325, 1277, 1430, 194, 1661, 1488, 174, 907, 1§64, 267 34, 20, 1276, 142, 00, 1367, 1323, 5, 1833, 1739, 1213, 3 538, 1814, 1615, 1646, 1910, 1329, 1674, 1320, 564, 393, 1798, 1525, 544, 1897, 598, 201, 43, 1752, 1373, 1884, 1466, 72, 318, 1443, 263, 8, 338, 339, 173. All in all, it was a “king’’ picnic, said Mr. Browne, with a wicked pun, and Sec- retary King’s rejoinder was that ‘it was done brown.” A hasty glance over the grounds took in the following as but a few of the many who enjoyed the outing: President Thomas H.

Let Every Decent Unfortunate Be Temporarily Self-Supporting in Comfort. United States Surveyor-General W. S. Green, longer and better known as the editor of the Colusa Sun, is nursing a large and original plan for solving the problem of the unemployed, and he expects to see it in practical operation some of these days. It is somewhat like the famous plan of Mayor Pingree of Detroit, though Mr. Green evolved his plan long before Mr. Pingree talked about hi The Green plan is for cities and counties to own adequate farms whereon anybody wanting work may find it at employment which shall make the worker not only self- supporting and self-respecting, but make the farm entirely seli-supporting besides, thus relieving both the public and the Government from any burdens of this sort, while want is at the same time ended. The Supervisors of Colusa County a year or so ago appropriated $10,000 and con- tracted for ‘_O(Facres of land to experiment with Mr. Green's plan, but the hard times and consequent grumbling about taxes caused the scheme to be temporarily dropped. Mayor Sutro and others here who have heard of the idea have written approvingly to Mr. Green about it, and it is as timely a topic now as ever. for it contemplates a new and permanent feature of city and county government. If the editor and Surveyor-General has a hobby it is this, and this is the way he talked about it yesterday : “My plan is that of a seli-supporting farm of adequate size, which shall be bought and provided with stock and tools by the county or by a large city like this. Now one acre of land will easily support five people. Winter before last this City raised $90,000 or so in money for the unem- ployed, and the schools held a carnival of charity in ¥ro\'i(i3ng lunches. - If the City had owned say 1000 acres of land that $90,000 would have done a good deal toward putting the farm into condition to use, wouldn’t it? On a farm of 1000 acres 5000 people could be supported the year round. “Such a place should not be called a poor-farm. That idea and all ideas of charity should be avoided. It should be a lace where any man out of work, whether o oan entirely broke or not, could find a free chance to support himself by his own efforts without expense to anybody else. “On such a farm fruits of all kinds, veg- etables, chickens, hogs, cattle and sucn things could be raised. Those who worked would produce all the staple food they would eat and enough besides to pay for sugar, coffee and running expenses. Do you know that it is astonishing how little labor, especially in this country, will pro- duce from the ground all that a man needs to eat, and it is astonishing how product- ive a little ground favorably situated can be made. A Chinese gardener near Colusa sold $8000 worth of vegzetables from eight acres of land in one year. “With a good farm provided with sleep- ing barracks and other simple means of comfortable living there would be pro- ductive work always waiting any one that wanted it. If each man given employment worked but a day or two a week he would pay for his support. Even an old man scarcely able to move around could sit down and pull weeds from an onion bed. “The labor that would be employed on such a public farm would not only make it self-supporting, but it would develop, im- prove and beautify it. Walks, flowers and attractive grounds and buildings could be secured with the labor not actually needed in productive work. Expense for manage- ment need be but small, and with produc- tive land, I repeat, the amount of labor that would be exacted would be small. ‘Why, the County Hospital at Woodland, where the sick are cared for, and the one in Colusa County are practically self-sup- porting because land is worked by those who can work. “Let there be no charity in the spirit of Opleration, and nothing penal or disgrace- ful. “Let it be a place where any proud and self-respecting man could honorably and comfortably support himself until he could find regular employment. Give any man who wants employment a chance to work, and if he won’t work and is no good, why, put him to breaking rock or hang him, and use him for afertilizer. Such a place would be a general empioyment office and the best kind of one. At such a place shoe- makers, tailors and other artisans could be iven work often at their trades. It would e a storehouse of work for all who wanted it and a central supply of labor. “Every county and every large city should supply such a place and plant. The unemployed would cost the com- manity nothing further. Mayor Pingree’s Detroit plan is putting individual effort to what the community should do, and it carries with it the idea and spirit of charity. 1 believe this would solve the tramp and unemployed problems. I be- lieve that it is thoroughly practicable, It has never been tried because it is a new POLES MUST COME DOWN Protest Againstthe Abandoned Electric Line at the Pan- handle. PROPERTY-OWNERS COMPLAIN. H. H. Lynch Says That the Rails and Trolley Wires May Be Re- | moved. The property-owners on Baker and Fell streets, in the immediate vicinity of the panhandle entrance to Golden Gate Park, are complaining that the Market-street | Railway Company has left wires and rails | standing for several months on part of the | abandoned Metropolitan Electric road and also neglected the roadway between the | tracks. At present there is serious talk of pre- paring a protest to the Board of Super- visors with a petition that proper action be taken in the premises. It is argued that since this portion of the Electric line has been abandoned, and apparently will not be used again, the street railway company ought to remove the poles, wires and rails and put the streets in good condition. The road was cheaply constructed and without regard for its appearance or for the comfort of the public. Were the tracks well laid and paved as the new roads of the Market-street Company’s electric sys- tem are there would not be so much Qro\md for fault-finding, but the old Metropolitan tracks are full of rutsand dangerous obstructions that make riding over them extremely unpleasant near the panhandle entrance. In the open space opposite the wide, embowered avenue there is still a row of iron poles with cross arms supporting trolley wires, and beneath are double tracks very rickety and so oorly ballasted that the ties show lhroug{: the macadam. There used to be an ample sweep for car- riages passing in or out of the panhandle, but these poles and tracks, now absolutely useless and unsightly to look upon, in- trude themselves obnoxiously to the incon- venience of bicyclists and rider: Along Fell street from Devisadero to Baker and thence upon Baker to Page street those abandoned rails and trolley oles and wires have been left standing. The railroad company ran its new lines along the two other sides of the parallelo- gram formed by four blocks, and in doing so avoided the steep grade on Baker street, between Oak and Page, which is almost impracticable for an electric line. The gmde is 14 per cent and has been shunned v the company, as the heayy inclines on Scott street were abandoned for the easy slopes of Devisadero street. ‘ H. H. Lynch, superintendent of con- struction of the Market-street system, was asked about the forgotten tracks and trol- ley poles near the panhandle. “I don’t exactly know,” said he, “what we are going to do with that bit of road. It is not to be used again, and [ suppose the only thing to do_is to tear it up. Maybe we will remove it soon.”” According to the provisions of the origi- nal franchise granted the Metropolitan Company by the Solid Nine of execrable memory, the franchise has been forfeited on various points. It was expressly agreed to build the road to the ocean within three vears after the franchise was granted, and | failing in this the company would abso- lutely lose title to the road. “The road was to reach the ocean in three years and carry passengers for a nickel fare. On each of the T poles opposite the park panhandle the franchise called for an electric light that accidents might not occur. The lights were never known to shine, and now there are neither lights nor electric cars on that stretch of abandoned and neglected roadway. FISHING AND SHOOTING. Where ,»\nglln; in the Bay Is Good. Camping in Mendocino County. Bay fishing is steadily improving on the north shore ana good catches of rockcod, tomcod, smelt and kingfish and other varieties of the finny tribe are made daily on the Sausalito and Tiburon fishing banks. Tomcods are reported to be more plentiful than for some time, and as the fishing banks are very convenient, being only a short distance from the Sausalito ferry landing, quite a number of anglers, fre- quently ladies and children, can be seen daily in boats enjoying themselves angling for these game little fish. Quite a number of kingfish and occasionally a few flounders are often caught in the same locality. On Monday last George Whitney, the well-known angler, caught 116 kingfish and tomcod, most of the latter in a few hour’s fishing on the banks opposite Sausa- lito about 300 yards off shore. On Wednesday Fred Barnard and two friends caught over 200 tomcods and king- fish and five large flounders in the same locality. The best place for rockcod fishing at present is California_City, near the fish- vard, Lime Point, and Point Cavallo. At the latter point fish weighing from two to five pounds have recently been caught in deep water. On Wednesday Fred Bergeman and companions caught sixty-five pounds of red rockcod and one nine-pound gqueen codfish at Point Cavallo and Yellow Bluff. Smelts are caught from the wharves in Sausalito, but the largest are to be had at Target Rock, near the fishyard opposite. On Tuesday last Al Thomsen nns friend | caught forty-six smelts at Target Rock, several weighing from one to oneanda half pounds and measuring from sixteen to eighteen inches in length. Amonga party of tourists who took their departure from this city yesterday on board one of the steamers that ply be- tween this city and Point.Arena were Eugene Flanders, J. Noonan, S. O’Neil, John Burns, W. Zeller and Joseph Warde. The pleasure seekers, on their arrival at Point Arena, will start for the headwaters of the Garcia River, and will pitch camp at a favorite place, knows as Cooney’s Hol- low, which 1s within easy reach of the stream. Zeller, being an expert angler, will supply camp with fish, and Noonan, who has a reputation as a great deer hunter, will assuredly provide the happy family with all the vénison steaks that will be necessary. Burns, being a home-made man, will look after camp affairs, and Flanders, whose gastronomic feats are well known to the residents of Point Arena and vicinity, hoses for a good time devouring flapjacks and maple syrup. *Shorty’’ O'Neil has been commissioned to take charge of the camp fires and stews, and Ward, having a predilection for daylight naps under the shadow of giant redwood trees, will look after those of the party who may disturb camp during darkness by heavy-weight selections from S'nora_on ‘the nasal flute. The tourists will remain two weeks among the big trees of Mendocino County. P ————— His Way of Beating It.
