T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1895. 9 THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Melanle Defeated a Very Or- dinary Lot With the Greatest Ease. SIR REEL'S COLORS LOWERED, Carrylng Top-Welght Royal Flush Downed a Speedy Bunch of Sprinters. Chevalier again carried off the riding honors, finishing In front on two winners. W. 0'B. Macdonough, the millionaire horse- :\nn, issaid to have quit & big winner on the ay. Joe K, winner of the two-year-old race, was struck and severely cut on one of his hind legs et some period of the run. After a couple of days’ outing in San Jose, John Merrell, looking in greatly improved health, again occupied the starter's box and sent the fields away to very pretty starts. While at the post in the first race Amigo, the second choice, received a severe kick in the stomach from Josie G, which it is thought may have affected that horse’s speed. It was light in comparison with the kick his backers made. The sale of thoroughbreds belonging to the estate of the late H. C. Judson will be held by Killip & Co.at the Wildidle stock farm,ome mile west of Santa Clara, on June 19. Among the lot are youngsters, the get of such sires as Wildidle, Vanquish and Vanguard. The performance of Royal Flush, the stoutly built little chestnut son of Three Cheers, in the last race is deserving of more than passing notice. Lying until the stretch was reached, he came on with his 114 pounds up and passed the finishing post with noticeable effort in 1:0724 for the five and a hal! furlongs. During the drive through the stretch be- tween Don Cesar and Norblieh in the second race the first-named horse, ridden by E. Jones, bore in on Norblich the entire route, which un- doubtedly caused his defeat. Jomes had the outside, and the judges thinking he did not taxe any especial pains to keep his horse straight fined him $25. He escaped luckily, Hughey Jones, the partner of Johnny Cole- men in the bookmaking business, arrived {rom Latonia Sunday evening and will cut in to-ay. Mr. Coleman’s string of tacers, among which are Bob Tucker, Adam, Satisfied, Fred Gardner, Detective and Vernon, are aiso on the way to California, having left Latonia for the West via Chicago, and will arrive in about ten days. Frank Kevane, the popular turi- man, is en route, and will oecupy the position of cashier in the new book. Mr. Jones states that M. T. Donovan, & well-known Western horseman, expects to start for California in a short time with & good string of thorough- breds. The opening race yesterday was notable inasmuch as it signaled the reappearance on the California turf of the all green colorsof B. C. Holly. The old sprinter, Melanie, purchased at the sale of Tom Ryan’s horses, sported them, and won hands down from a very ordinary field, starting an odds-on favorite. Mr. Holly, who had been in ill health, disposed of the majority of his horses some time back, and announced his retirement from the turf, but the hankering after his first fove F_mvm too strong, and he has again shied his castor into the ring. The card had a cheap look, and in con- sequence the attendance was light, only an occasional rush preventing the bookies from jndulging in _a quiet slumber. The talenf received their usnal bumping, two only of the five favorites managing to finish in front, the other races going to horses backed by people wiser than those that stick to form. The opening race at five furlongs was taken easily by Melanie, who finished un- der restraint a half length in front of Josie G, with Mt, Carlos in third place. A mile selling race furnished a hot fa- vorite in Sir Reel. backed from 6to5to4 to 5. Don Ceesar and Normandie were sec- ond and third choices respectively., Going to.the front soon after the start, Normandie led the favorite into the stretch a head, with Norblieh and Don Ceesar rap- idly closing on them. Soon drawing up on equal terms the latter two horses drew away, and in a hot arive Jones landed Don Casar winner bf a head. Sir Reel was third a couple of lengths uwgs*. The half-mile dash for maiden two-year- olds was originally looked upon as a good thing for Lady Gray, who has been run- niug well up in company, but the wise money said Joe K was the proper thing, and he went into the starter’s Hands a slight favorite over the Lady. Sent away to s pretty start Charlie Boots, Lady Gray, Dancing Girl and Joe K en- tered the stretch on nearly equal terms. Joe K then began todraw away, winning easily at the end by four lengths. Don Pedro at 15 to 1, coming with a rush, beat Lady Gray by a loni neck for the place. That streak of forked lightning, Fly, was a decidedly hot choice for the fourth race, a five-furiong dash, 1 to 2 being his closing price, but, after leading well into the stretch, Hueneme, the second choice, col- lared and beat him out easily in 1:01. Nellie G took third money. A speedy lot of sprinters lined ? in the last event'at eleven-sixteenths. From his opening price of threes Hymn was backed down to a9 to 5 favorite. Howard, Royal Flush and Monterey all had5to 1 inst their chances at some stage of the betting. Nelson, Blue Bell and old Rinfax were the ontsiders, the latter a 25 to 1 chance, To a good start, Hymn meedh\el{ showed in front, followed by Blue Bel the two racing heads apart at the end of the first furlong. The pace was too hot for Blue Bell and she gave up second lace to Nelson, the one-eyed horse being gula head back of the favorite turning into the stretch, with Royal Flush a verg promising-looking third. " Below the eight! pole Hymn was beaten, and, taking the fend on the outside, Royal ¥lush passed the finishing post the cleverest of winners, two lengths before Rinfax, who finishe: strong, nipping the place from Nelson by a head.

A gentleman named Wilson, who has been spending his vacation at Klamath Springs, speaks very highly of Governor Budd’s angling proclivities. In speaking of the excellent sport that is now to be had in the Klamath River and Shovel Creek and the methods that are employed in angling by men and women who take pleasure in catching fish he states that with few exceptions those who angle for {imut use very common poles and heavy nes. “The Governor and two or three other gentlemen who were rusticating at the mountain resort,” said Mr. Wilson, ‘“as- tonished the tyros in fishing by the very clever and dexterous way in which they hooked, played and landed large trouf. Their rods did not weigh more than six or seven ounces and so far asthe tackle was concerned it was as fine as the hair of a woman’s head. “I think the Governor a most expert angler. His right arm was almost par- alyzed by rheumatism, and as a conse- quence he was compelied to_bring his left hand into service when castinig. it wasa revelation to me to see him make some beautiful casts in the Klamath at the con- fluence of Shcvel Creek, where rainbow trout ranging from half a poun dto three and four pounds are quite plentiful. I cannot understand why it is, but the rain- bow trout in the Klamath are not by any means to be compared—that 1s as fight- ers—with the same variety of fish taken from the Truckee and otherrivers in which they haye been planted. I have been in- formed, however, that at this season of the year the rainbows of the Klamath are on the move to their spawning beds, and that in the month of ?uly hundreds of those fishes congregate in the Klamath River, where the smaller streams empty, and are then easily taken by means of flies and spoon. Ifound that the fishing for East- ern trout in Shovel Creek is more 1nterest- ing than catching big rainbows in the swift-running Kiamath.” “KEEP TO THE RIGHT.” A Cycler's Suggestions to the Golden Gate Park Commissioners. Lights at Night. ** If those who are just learning to ride on bicycles would keep to the right there would be fewer collisions with those who walk on the roads than there are now.” These words were spokerr by a eyclist on Sunday afternoon to a group of wheelmen assembled at the Cyclers’ Rest in Golden Gate Park. This was a few minutes after a “new one,” as the beginners are called, had run against a man who was crossing a road, with the result that both pedes- trian and rider went down in the dust. Accidents of this character occur fre- auenuy, but in view of the fact that ulp to ate no one has been seriously hurt, little astention has been given to the matter. “The thing that annoys me,” continued the speaker, “is that these frequent col- lisions will raise a prejudice against wheel- men, and it isnot the wheelmen, but the beginners whoare to blame. Those who get on a wheel for the first or second time in the open haye an idea that they own the entire road and can do just as they please. They see-saw from one side to the other, and pedestrians who wish to cross areat a loss to make out which way the ‘bike’ is headed, The pedesirians, who_are think- ing of the other side of the road that they desire to reach, and at the same time are endeayoring to keep outof the way of care- less riders, become confused, and the re- sult is & collision, a knockdown and soiled clothes. The Commissioners should make it a rule that all riders on bicycles should observe the rule of ‘keep to the right.’ ”’ B The “Royal” Baking Powder is recom- mended by the best chefs and suthorities on cuisine in every land.

Mrs. J. K. Emmet Jr., known on the stage as Emily Lytton, has forgiven her husband, and the case against him of as- sault to murder was dismissed by Judge Campbell yesterday. It will be remembered that on Saturday night, June 8, Emmet, while under the influence of liquor, chased his wife from their residence, 1317 Leavenworth street, to Washington street with a revolver in his hand. "He fired a shot_at her, but she struck.his hand and the bullet wentinto the air, She was taken to the Receiving Hospi- tal, and as there was a mark on her right temple resembling a bullet wound it was thought that the shot had taken effect. She objected to the doctors probing for a bullet,” insisting that the wouns was | caused by a biow from the butt end of the reyoiver, but next day, to satisfy her {riends, she allowed Drs. Somers and Red- ding to examine the wound, and they found that she was right. When the case was called husband and wife were present. Judge Campbell asked if the complaining witness was present and Mrs. Emmet stood up. The Judge re- marked that no complaint had been sworn to. *No,” said Mrs. Emmet, “I will not swear to a complaint against my hus- band,” “Then you “Yes, sir.” - “I:%va,s he been in the habit of ill treating you “No, sir. He has always been a good husband to me and he has promised to be good in the future.” ‘“As there is no complaint,” said the Judge, “I will have o dismiss the case,” and husband and wife walked out of the courtroom together, ———— The Queen of Tialy is a graceful and skillful bicyclist and ‘every day has a spin on her silver-mounted wheel. refuse to prosecute him ?" —————— Doctors Say One Thing.

THE FERRY FOUNDATION, End of the Investigation of Professors Soule and Marx. . i IS A VERY STRONG STRUCTURE. No Fear for the Tower—The Method of Mixing Concrete Is Condemned. The report of Professors Frank Soule and Charles D. Marx, who were appointed by the Board of Harbor Commissioners to investigate the ferry foundations, was filed yesterday and read by the board. The report is a voluminous document | . . : ! WINTHROP REMANDED. The experts went into their work | S o very thoroughly, and their conclusions | covering over 100 pages of typewritten ma- terial. were that the foundations are sufficiently strong to bear aay weight which may ever be placed upon them, and that the tower will not be a *‘source of danger to the en- tire construction.” The report condemns the method of mix- ing the concrete, but says that the ingre- dients, with the exception of the sand, were up to the requirements, if not always in conformity with the specifications. It $365,000. They were allowed $224,000 for the present year. They state that the Mid- winter Fair grounds will have to be graded shaped, loamed, planted, etc., at a cost of $70,000. They expect to build a bicycle road paralleling the main road for $15,000 and a bridge under the main drive to the | music grounds for $12,500. They also desire to extend the drive on the Great Highway at a cost of $20,000, to construct a new | office building for $20,000and to expend | $50,000 on loam for the new forest. | The Free Library trustees hope to be ! allowed $58,000. Chief Crowley asked for $879,350 for the | Police Department, but that was when the | Supervisors agreed to support 125 more | men instead of 75. ; | 7The Fire Commissioners estimate that | they will need $530,740. Of that amount $429,580 is wanted for salaries and $109,000 for twelve new buildings. They desire to erect 1000 new hydrants, purchase 6500 feet of hose, 4 first-class engines, 6 second-class engines and 3 new trucks. The School directors estimate that they will require $1,236,370 for the support of the School Department. Assessor Siebe asks for $161,884, The Recorder estimates that his revenue will amount to $60,000, and that the ex- penses will be $48,990. He Geots Another Writ From the Su- preme Court, Returnable This Morning. Judge Murphy has remanded A. W. Winthrop into the custody of the Sheriff, because he believes the evidence agaimst him is strong enough to warrant his trial. Winthrop had secured a writ of habeas { corpus returnable before Judge Murphy last Saturday, and after argument it was submitted. ~ Yesterday morning Judge PROFESSOR MARX. PROFESSOR SOULE. finds that the stone was not washed, but disagrees with the Grand Jury that this was a detriment. After quoting the letter of instructions received from the board the Teport reads: Your letter of instruction evidentl: us to pass upon the stability and probeble dur- ability of the foundations, and in particular upon the desirabili f constructing the tower as proposed and us)on its safety and stable character if so built. It also requests us to carry the investigation of the work alread finished and of lge quelity of the materials used in its construction no further than shall be necessary to enable us to cor- rectly answer your firstand second quesiions according to your explanations of \heir spirit, as given supplementarily in the same letter. First, it has been determined : The loads which the arches and_piers are capable of safely sus- taining with the assumption that they have been properly designed and dimensioned and constructed Jdn the manner and from the materials destribed by thespecifications. No opinion is expressed as to the merits of the system in building the foundation, as the professors were not asked to do so. The report is accordingly limited to a statement of the investigators’ judgment as to its strength and continued “strength. ‘Twenty net tons, it is assumed, is a safe load for a pile. By actual experiment it was found that a load of as much as forty- five tons per pile for twenty-four hours did not move the pile, and that a group of four ?iles would sustain twenty tons per pile or four days without having any sign of settling. The &:rolessors express themselves as satisfied with the piling. In regard to the cement it is said that it shows no tendency to blow, and it is pronounced to be a fair grade of Portland cement, suited to the work in hand. In examining the sand it was found that the quality used was very fine, while a coarse material was called for. Two con- clusions were arrived at: Firsi, that with a coarse sand, as specified, better resnits would be obtained. Second, that the presence of the fine material in the broken stone is an advantage rather than a detri- ment. ‘While the rock used is not “blue trap rock of the best gua]ity,” the professors say that it is good enough to_ fairly coin- ply with the spirit of the specifications in this regard; and that it will give strength and resistance entirely comparable to those of the other components of the con- crete. Blue trap rock of the finest quality it is believed cannot be found within a radius of 20 miles of Ban Francisco. The stone, it was found, was not washed, but this it is said is not a detriment. The final conclusions of Professors Soute and Marx are summoned up as follows: First, That the ferries foundations are suffi- cient in strength and Embable durability safely to sustain the weight of the superstruc- ture which it is proposed by the adopied plans of the board for said Superstructure to rest upon them. Becondly, That the tower of the proposed superstructure, as indicated by thé atoresaid adopted plans, will not be & cause of undue strain upon the foundations, nor “a source of danger to the entire construction.” MONEY TAT IS SKED FO What the Heads of Depart- ments Will Want for the Next Fiscal Year. requires Some Figures for the Taxpayers to Consider Before July. Some time since Auditor Broderick sent a circular letter to the head of each depart- ment in the City.Government asking for estimates of what amount of money each will require for the next fiscal year. He hasreceived a number of replies. County Clerk Curry states that he will require $10.500 a month for salaries. Sheriff Whelan estimates that $78,680 will be required by his office for salaries, and that the revenue from fees and for boarding United States prisoners will ag- gregate $30,000. Secretary McCarthy of the City Hall Commission states that if the assessed valuation of property for 1895-96 equals that of 1894-95 the amount that will be raised for City Hall construction purposes under the act of the last Legislature will be $320,000, all of which wil] be required to complete the building, He says that Architect Shea estimates that the work pméected, including the firefrcoi roof, will cost $316,000, He allows $165,000 for the roof and $65,000 for the completion of the inner dome. The salaries during the work will aggregate $24,000, and other expenses will bring the total amount to $332,000. There is a balance of $35,000 in the fund, Coroner Hawkins wants $25,648 30 for the Morgue, Police Surgeon Somers urges that pro- vision be made for the flmng up of quarters for insane women. He estimates that it would cost $1200, and that the hospital needs $10,855, License Coliector Lees estimates that the revenue from licenses will amount to $517,207, He wants $33,000 for expenses. The Park Commissioners have asked for Murphy rendered his decision. He said if Winthrop be guilty at all, he is guilty of murder in the first degree, and as ‘there is evidence tending to show his guilt, the court did not feel justified in examining the facts in a habeas corpus proceeding in- stead of in a regular trial. ‘Winthrop immediately appealed to the Supreme Court, and Justice eatty granted another writ, returnabie before the higher body this morning at 10 o’clock. AT THE COURSINC PARKS, Little Tom Won First Prize in the Big Stake at Kerrigan’s. After Exciting Runs at Casserly’s Fullerton Took First in the Finals. A large crowd gathered at Kerrigan’s coursing park Sunday to witness the thirty-two dog stake. The park has been remodeled, giving the spectators a better opportunity of witnessing the sport. The weather was fine, and the hares were in excellent form, giving the lovers of this sport all they could expect. Eddie Cana- van judged, and John Cranston slipped. The results of the run-downs were as follows: The day’s coursing started with Sondon and San Joaquin in the slips. A speedy hare gave thedogs a fine chase, but San Joaguin won, Jennie G and Spring were slipped, and the latter won after a long course. In a fine course Evening Star beat Napoleon Jack. Famous and Butcher Boy 1o the front was a long course, with many sharp turns, the former winning. Lady Fitzgerald beat Tom Boy in a guml run. In a short course Snowbird beat Sacramento Queen. Modesto Boy was beaten by Empire. Inagood run toward the grand BODIE'S ANNUAL ELECTION The Opposition Defeated by | President Walker’s Many Proxies. A DIRECTOR FROM COURTESY.! The “ Outsiders” Get Only Three of the Seven Members of the Board. ! The shareholders in opposition to the present management of the Bodie Consoli- dated Mining Company were largely in the majority at the company’s annual meeting yesterday in the Nevada block, but all the shares they represented were enough to give them but two of the seven directors. Yet those in power gave them a third as an earnest of their good feeling. The outside sharehoiders were very much handicapped by the fact that Presi- dent Walker has had the advantage of his position to gather in a great many proxies from shareholders who are taking no hand in the fight, and he appeared with 30,395 shares. However, a number of those who had signed proxies after- ward joined with the opposition, and 9950 of their shares were present to be voted. Then the officers had obtained proxies for 3945 shares from the New York agency. The total number of shares and proxies presented by the opposition was 30,395, while the “old crowd,” which is in con- trol and clmrfied with mismanagement, showed up with 56,005 shares. This gave a total present of 88,195 shares, which 18 within a few hundred of every share of the company’s stock, except those which have fallen into the treasury for non-payment of assessments. T f‘.{lyan filed a protest against count- ing the proxies on the ground that they did not specify where the Bodie mine is located. The superintendent’s report, the trial balance and statement of receipts and ex- penditures, were received and placed on | tile. The superintendent showed that 1548 feet of tunnels, crosscuts and winzes had been run during the year. " The statement of receipts and expendi- ‘tures showed that $122,469 34 had been re- ceived from bullion and $24,576 64 had been paid for mine expenses, $9576 38 for mill expenses and $66,660 in dividends. ! A resolution presented by R. B. Wood- | ward, ratifying the acts of the board of directors, was adopted, the 32,190 votes of the opposition being cast in” the negative. A resolution offered by Mr. Woodward, authorizing the directors to sell the stock, some 11,000 shares on hand, purchased for non-payment of assessments, caused a stir. “I object very strenuously to any such action,” said Attorney Charles L. Patton of the opposition. “Bodie stock has been selling as high as $425during the past year, and now it is proposed to sell these shares when they are ddwn_ to 25 cents.” Finally the motion was withdrawn. i Then, when the election of directors was in order, Mr, Patton suggested to Presi- dent Walker, George lves 2nd others of those in power that it would be a ver: graceful act for them to give the opposi- tion an extra director. They had not quite.enough votes to elect three. “All we want is sufficient representation to make a thorough investigation,” he said. “We do not know whether there is anything wrong or not.” o But T. P. Ryan, the leader of the recal- citrants, came very near stopping that. “I want yon to understand that we be- lieve that the affairs of the mine have been mismanaged and that we are going to fight on that line. I can’t stultify my- self now by saying that I do not think that there is anything wrong. The only way you can get a third director is for me to withdraw, I suppose.” But the leaders of both sides went aside and talked the matter over and came back and announced that the opposition should have three directors. At a meeting of the board, held imme- diately afterward, H. D. Walker was re- elected president, R. B. Woodward vice- resident. M. E. Willis secretary, and ohn W. Kelly superintendent. The next move of the opposition will be to call a meeting of the shareholders to ! select an expert to make a thorough ex- amination into the mine’s management. | Welcomed Him Home. Cadet A. J. Bowley, who was appointed to fill & cadetship at West Point in 1893 by Coneress- man Eugene V. Loud, returned yesterday morning on a- furlough of sixty days. Mr. stand Fearless beat Flashlight.
