Little Cripple was sub- stantially supported at 5 to 2, but the horse expected to upset all arrangements was Do r, and a big bundle of wise money went in on him at odds ranging from 6 to 8 to 1. This latter horse took the lead when the flag fell, and his chances as he gailoped in front looked very bright until the streich for the wire was reached, where he closed up like an umbrella, and the favorite took the lead. Coming from the rear where he had been trailing all the journey Little Cripple hitched up with the Tar a furlong from home, and in a mild sort of a drive beat him out three parts of a length. Road Runner was third, about three lengths away. The last race of the day,afiveanda half furlong run over the inside course, was gathered in very cleverly by the Julia Martin filly, the second choice, after the two-year-old favorite Edgemount had led to the stretch. Crawford was a fair third, behind the l‘rsl choice. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY.

ATHLETES AND TENNIS, Games That Will Soon Take Place at the Olympic Club Grounds, The athletes of the Olympic Club who do not belong to the first class will be given an opportunity in the near future of test- A standard athletic competition will be held on the first Sun- day in July for members who have never competed in the following events: 100 vards’ run, 111-5 sec.; 220 yards, 25 sec.; 440 yards, 56 sec.; 880 yards, 2 min. 12 sec.; one mile, 5 min.; ronning high jump, 4 feet 11 inches; running broad jump, 18 féet 6 inches; putting the 16-pound shot, 32 feet 6 inches; pole vault, 9 feet; 120-yard hurdle race, 18 sec.; oneé mile bicycle, 2 min. 45 sec. Entries for these events will close on the grounds. The much-talked-of singles tennis tourna- ment for members of the club will be he!d on Surday at the outdoor grounds. The entries so far are: Smith O’'Brien, R. Blevin, J. Elliott, H. Moulder, W. Burke, T. Kehnedy, G, Butler and S. Brooke, Blevin is the present holder of the medal and Smith O’Brien is second in the race. The betting on Sunday’s race for first place favors John Elliott, who has been practicing a good deal recently for a special tennis match which he will soon engage in at Tahoe against Oscar Tolle. BICHCLE AGHNST LNERY Stablemen Believe the Compe- tition Will Die Out Be- fore Long. They Regard Wheeling as a Fad, and Wou!d Like to See All Bicycles Taxed. According to the belief of a number of livery-stable owners the bicycle fad 1s not a serious evil to the livery business. J. P. Guerin, a member of the firm own- ing the Nevada stables, said that although the increasing numbers of persons who now ride the bicycle hasafflicted the “light livery” business in a measure, and also that 2 number of his patrons who owned horses and boarded them at his stable have sold their animals since -bicycling became a rage, being unable to afford both luxu- ries, and consequently their patronage was lost, but it was not enough to make any serious difference in the running of a stabie. *‘A tax on bicycles would be a remedy for this,” continued Mr. Guerin, ‘‘and would prevent them from cutting any dangerous inroads into our business. It would also put an end to a permanent op- )osition, which is nothing more than a passing fancy of a changeable public asI now consider it.” C. A. Neave of the Golden Gate Livery and Riding Academy is of the same opinion, but arpreheuds no serious results from the use of the bicycle, ““It has injured the saddle-horse trade to some extent,” said he, ““but the most seri- ous injury caused by their use so far is to the horse market, as the figures will show that in the last year the market value of horses has fallen fully 25 per cent. *Placing a tax upon bicycles is the only way to equalize matters. The proceeds of the tax could be used to adyantage in re- pairing the streets and boulevards, and it is unfair for the owners of bicycles to de- mand and agitate the question for their improvement and be unwilling to assist in the undertaking, as we are forced to by the laws of the country.’” H. B. Weller, astable-owner and livery- man, says that he looks upon the matter as a fad of the people; thatit isupon the decline at the present time, and that it will soen be a thing of the past. “Although business is quiet with us now,”” he said, ‘“we look upon it as the dull season of the year, as many of our patrons are residing at their country places and others are visiting watering-places during the summer. ‘““‘About seven years ago the same con- dition of affairs existed in England as is in this City at the present time, and when machines were reduced in value and it was in the means of the laboring classes to pur- chase them, peopie who could afford livery rigs immediately deserted them. The same thing will happen here in the course of time, and in_any event we foresee no serious result and can ascertain no reason why they should affect our business to any great extent.”’ OLDEST IN' THEIR LINE, Pioneer Printing Ink Manu- facturers of the Pacific Coast.

MUSIC FOR THE FOURTH, The Committee Has Decided Not to Employ Union Musicians. FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT. Must Have $2500 More or Abandon Some Attractive Features. $5500 On Hand. The finance committee having in charge the collection of funds for the Fourth of July celebration met last night and made its first formal report of the work done. The committee has secured in subscrip- tions $2500. There is $3000 to come from the Roard of Supervisors, making a total of cash actually available of $5500. The members of the women’s auxiliary to the finance committee have not yet reported aqd the collectors are still at work, the statement to the contrary published yester- day being a mistake. The finance committee states that it is absolutely necessary that at least $2500 more be subscribed. Otherwise some very attractive features of the programme will have to be omitted. To further the collec- tion of funds it was resolved to appeal to all the daily papers to open popular sub- scription lists and to lend their columns to that purpose. A committee of five, con- sisting of M. S. Kohlberg, W. H. Davis, Theo Reichart, W. G. Doane and Georsze D. Toy. was appointed to interview the managers of the various papers and prefer the request. It was announced that L. D. Smith, who was said to have been collecting money ostensibly for the celebration and who was denounced as a swindler, is a duly author- ized collector for the Oakland celebration. and that he was collecting in this City only from residents of Oazland who do business on this side of the bay. At a meeting of the music committee a communication was received from the Musicians’ Union as follows: Music Committee of the Fourth of July Celebra- tion—GENTLEMEN: AL & meeting of the com- mittee of this union appointed 1o consider the advisibality of reducing the price for the parade onJuly 4,1t was decided that no reduction could be made from our schedule price ($8). The demand for musicians on the Fourth is great, and already there have been engaged over 100 musicians to go outside of San Fran- cisco to play at picnics and celebrations. Con- tracts have been made with the different pri- vate societies giving these pienics, ete., and we would have to reduce the price for them also, if we did so for you. We trust you will look at this matter as strictly a business proposition, and not in any other light. The demand for musicians justifies the price, and we charge no more than is charged in all large cities. Very respectfully, J. J. MATTHESON, President. E. E. ScHUUTZ, Secretary. On receipt of the union’s ultimatum the committee voted unanimously not to em- ploy union men for the Eumde. A. Mathieu appeared before the commit- tee and offered to furnish 150 musicians in ten bands for the sum of $5 each and a double rate for the leaders, each band to have a distinctive uniform. He was asked to furnish a bond in the sum of $1000 that the men should be competent musicians. He agreed to this and offered to furnish the names of the pla{ers by Monday after- noon next. Before the meeting adjourned it was definitely understood that heshould get the contract if he furnishes the bond and the list of players by Monday. The committee discussed the acrvisability of employinf the Liberty band, a union or- ganization, for the literary exercises, but no final action was taken. The literary committee desires to make the chorus a marked feature of the cele- bration, and to that end wishes to increase the number of singers from 200 to 500 or more. Vocalists who desire to participate are requested to communicate with the musical director, J. W. McKenzie, at 524 Eddy street, and receive their musie. The Austrian Military and Benevolent Society has signified its intention of not parading on the Fourth. The reason as- signed 1s that the sum of $100 cannot be allowed by the committee for expenses. The following communication has been received at this office from A. J. Donzel, manager of the California Fireworks Com- pany: To the Editor of the Call: Your paper pub- lished this morning the following paragraph: A member of the California Company stated the meeting that the Unexcelled Company bia had offered not less than $4000 worth o works for the sum of $2000. If & member of our company made such a statement he was in error. Three months ago the Unexcelled Company offered to sell us its business. Their stock then inventoried $1250 and they wanted us to take off thelr hands £1000 worth of Eastern fireworks en route to this City by way of Cape Horn. They also agreed mever to re-enter the fireworks business on this coast. We declined their offer. Yesterday morning, after securing a contract from the Fourth of July Committee, Mr. Sadler, the manager for the Unexcelled Company, esked me to help him to fill his contract by supplying him with sufficient goods to make up the necessary quantity. e offered to pay me the same price that I had charged the com- mittee in my bid and offered to assign to me his_contract with the committee as security for the ment for the goods which I should supply. He also agreed to go out of the busi- ness after this celebration. A.J. DoNzEL. MUSICIANS AND PRICES. % # a The Union Refuses to Lower Its Terms for the Fourth of July. The Musicians’ Union has issued its ultimatum to the Fourth of July music committee. The union will abide by its rules, which call for $8 a man for the Fourth of July, and it absolutely refuses to take a cent less. “The committee can take us or it can leave us,” said the secretary of the Mu- sicians’ Union yesterday, “but we cannot accede to its request and accept §5 for play- ing in the Fourth of July parade.” We bave just held an executive meeting, at which we decided to abide by our by-laws, which compel us to ask $8 for the Fourth of July parade. In New York, Chicago and all the other Eastern cities, with the exception of St. Louis, the terms for the TFourth vary from $10 to $14. “It is easy to understand why the union cannot lower its terms for the Fourth of July. It is a time when there is great competition to secure musicians. Marys- ville and a number of other towns are pay- ing our men $15 and all expenses to play for them. Picnickers are also willing to pay very high terms, and even if our ex- ecutive committee had decided that our men might play in the Fourth of July celebration for $5, as the musical commit- tee wants them to do, we should not be able to compel the best men to go when they could earn double that sum elsewhere. “They talk about being patriotic, but to the musicians playing is a business, and while they are no doubt willing to sub- scribe to the celebration they cannot be expected to donate services that are especially well paid for on that day for little more than half price. You might as well ask the inn-keepers in the towns where fiestas are being held to come down in their prices for the occasion, or expect manufacturers of fireworks to make crackers at_less than cost for the Fourth of July. The committee has no more right to order thé men to plng for reduced rates on the Fourth of July than I have to walk into a dry-goods store and insist upon being supplied with bunting at a re- duction of 40 per cent because I intend to use is for Fourth of July decorations.” .

BEEATTA OF TINY CRAFT Crack Miniature Yachts to Race in Brookiyn Basin on Sunday. An Inebriated Passenger Loses His Life on the Stockton Steamer. A race of miniature yachts will be held The list includes John McFarland’s sloop Mabel, J. Lowney’s sloop Bells of Shandon, in Brooklyn Basin on Sunday, for which | nine of the tiny craft have been entered. | per_deck. He lost his balance and tum- bled into the water. The accident oc- curred at 6:30 o'clock, and the Walker remained at the island until 10, her men searching for the missing passenger the while. No trace of the body conld be found and the steamer proceeded on her way. It is thought that the man in falling must bave struck the wharf and broke his neck. An odd strike occurred on the Merchants’ drydock yesterday afternoon, when about forty ship carpenters walked out. The ship Columbia was in_the dock having a shoe put on her, and the schooner Gem was just outside waiting to take the vessel’s place. The captain of the Gem saw a por- tion of the Columbia's old shoe hanging from the keel, and he asked Captain Nel- son if he might have the timber. Nelson granted the request, and the skipper of the Gem sent two of his sailors Tflé MINIATURE SLOCP MABEL. [Sketched for the “Call”, by Coulter.] M. Hinkine’s sloop Vigilant, J. Smith’s sloop Emma, Tom Wise's Ragamutfin, C. Owen’s schooner America, R. J. Cousins’ junk Mikado, B. Clark’s sloop Defender and T. Murry’s sloop Valkerie. The latest addition to the fleet of little boatsis Captain McFarland’s Mabel. Sheis a sloop-rigged craft, and was built by R. J. Cousins, engineer of the quarantine launch Governor Perkins. She is 42 inches in length over all, 36 inches on the waterline and 10 inches in breadth of beam. The craft is a beautiful model and is exquisitely finished and appointed. Her boits, chocks and rails are nickel plated, and in the water she glistens like burnished silver. Her builder is famous for_turning out yachts of this description, and all his boats are noted for their speed. The Mabel stands a good chance of winning the race. Thomus Gifford, a passenger on the T. C. Walker, which arrived here from Stockton at an early hour yesterday morning, was drowned on the ‘way down. Gifford had been drinking conaiderabl{l after the steamer left Stockton, and while the boat was tied up at Bouldin Island he perched himself forward on the lee rail of the up- to tear it off. Some of the carpenters saw the sailors at work and thought they had been employed on the job. The carpenters | were called ‘out immediately, and refused to accept Foreman Runnell’s explanation | of the affair. Runnell then went to work | and securing a number of sailors fitted the shoe into place, and the Columbia went off the dock on the high tide. Building Record. It is a notable item of the building records of this City that the Bush & Mal- | lett Company have furnished an enviable number of the finest residences and build- ings of the City erected this year with gas and electric fixtures or mantels, grates and | tiles, which are specialties with this house. i It seems but a few years ago since the‘ members of this firm graduated from the schools of this City. Their first place of business was on Geary street, but it was only a short time before increase of busi- ness led them to open their present mag- nificent large salesrooms at 328 and 330 Post street. ‘BIMETALLISTS ORGANIZE, Several Leading Men Meet in | the Interest of a Double Standard. Finance Committee Appointed to Assist the American Bimetal- Iic League. A number of bimetallists met last even- ing in the Maple room of the Palace Hotel for the purpose of effecting a bimetallic organization. J. C. Green, 2 member of the executive committee appointed by the Bimetallic Conference which met at Washington ! February 22, 1895, called the meeting to order and briefly outlined its objects. “The time has now arrived,” said he, ‘“‘when all the friends of bimetallism in the TUnited States are actively moving on thé enemy’s works. In order that California, which of all States in the Union is the most vitally interested, shall not appear wanting in the enterprise or not in full sympathy or accord with the efforts of her sister States to restore to the public the money of the constitution we have met here to discuss a plan for an organization | which shall take an active and vigorous | part in the coming campaign.” Mr, Green took occasion to severely crit- icize Secretary Carlisle and his attitude on the money question. He quoted from one of Mr. Carlisle’s addresses to the House of Representatives on February 2, 1878, in which he said that the world's stock of precious metals was none too large, and that he could not see any reason why it | would ever become so. He thought that mankind would be fortunate indeed if the annual production of silver and gold could | be made to keep pace with the increase of population, commerce and industry. *In the face of this statement,” con- tinued Mr. Green, ‘“John G. Carlisle stood up at & banquet of bankers last November in New York City and inverted the utter- ances of his departed honesty as unblush- ingly as the clown of a circus turns a handspring. At this time he said: ‘Gold is the only international money, and all trade balances ure settled in gold, or what is the same thing, on a gold basis. It is useless for the advocates of a different sys- tem to insist that this ought not to be so. 1t is so, and we cannot change the fact. The country has recently heard a great desl about bimetallism and a doublestand- ard. For my part I have never been able to understand what is meant by a double standard or double measure of value, and have never found any one who could tell me.’ I will not discuss the attitude of Mr. Carlisle,”” continued Mr. Green. “It speaks 1ts own shame and infamy.” Nominations for a permanent chairman were then called for and George W. Baker was unanimously chosen. In his opening remarks he urged the feasibility of callin, a State bimetallic convention. He rea the following resolutions, which were adopted: 5 WHEREAS, The stability and perpetuity of a republican form of iovemmem must ever de- pend upon the loyalty and patriotism of its ' people, which can only be secured and main- | tained by a just and intelligent exercise | of the ' functions of government by | those entrusted with the law-making power; and whereas, one of the most vital and impor- tant delegations of power to the Congress of the United States by the Rederal constitution | was that to coin money and regulate the value | thereof, because upon the fair, unselfish and intelligent exercise of that power must depend the welfare and protection of the masses of people from the erafty and ingenious meth- ods of the money-changer both at home and abroad; and whereas, the experience of nearly & quarter of a century has fully demon- strated that the assassination of one of the money metals of the constitution by the act of February, 1873, was an assault leveled at the toiling masses and in the interest of the bond- - e In muddy weather the Japanese walk on Stilts four inches high. holding class; that it laid an embargo upon and diminished their opportunities to dis- charge such obligations, apd, in short, it I concentrated capital, contracted the curre shrunk property values and accomplished design of its foreign promoters—to reduc people of these United States to the dicta and domination of the gold barons of the World; andi whereas, the State of California having no silver interests to protect and being by right of birth, as well as past and present production, the foremost gold-producing State of the Union, yet ever mindful that the perma- ment prosperity of this commonwealth like thatof her sister States must ultim based upon the general prosperity of th ols ?eoplc, and that legislation by the Federal sovernment against the interests of the toiling masses, such as the act referred to, has visited upon the people of this State its baneful conse- %\wnces in common with other parts of the mion. differing only in degree, be it therefore Resolved, That we condemn this act of Con- gress.as the most unconscionable, pernicions and indefensible measure that has ever been ‘dignified by legal enactment since the adop- tion of the Federal constitution. Resolved, That we regard the question of coinage of money to be conspicuously par- sue now confronting the nd upon_this question we free and unlimited coinage of silver, with equal privileges at the mintsof the United States, witl equal functions as money, at the ratio 0f 16 to 1. Resolved, That we are opposed to the essumed dfctation of the Anancial managers of Europe upon the policy which should be adopted by this Republic ipon the questiou of coinage of money, or upon any other question involving the weil-being and future happiness of her citi- zens, believing as we do that at the present time, as in the past, we are able to manage our own affairs, and that foreign interference is now, as it has been, inspired by greed, and fraught with danger, Resolved, That in order to secure the free ex- ression of the people of this State upon this mportent subject and prepare for the struggle in the coming Presidential election, wherein the voice of the people shonld be heard, we ex- tendan invitation to the people of the State who are in favor of the free coinage of gold and silver to meet in mass convention, to be held in San Francisco upon Monday, August 19, 1895, at 12 o’clock noon. Resolved, Thet it is our nearest desire that every county in the State shouid be largel represented at such convention irrespectiv past party afiliations, as the objects to be accomplished are to promote the common interests in which the Democrats, Populist: Prohibitionists and Republicans are each and all equally concerned, and the result of the effort, which is essentially non-partisan, m redound to their mutual advantage and’ pros- rity. Resolved, That all further information which may be required from interior {wlm»fi‘\ ith erence to such convention will be i upon application by mail directed to t of the American Bimetallic League at Francisco. F. V. Drake, president of the Bimetallic League of Oregon, was called upon to speak. He responded in a brief but pointed address on the subject at - He said that organization was going on in his State in a most encouraging manner, and that clubs were springing up all over the State. It is the intention to hold a State convention when these various organiza- tions shall be perfected. ‘‘The people of Oregon,” said he, “‘are very much aroused on this question, and we_expect to show a strong central body which will present a solid front to the enemy 3 3 In closing, Mr. Drake advised his hear ers to follow the plan of Oregon and organ- ize clubs through the State looking to the holding of a State convention. George G. Porter was the next speaker. After his speech the resolutions were taken up, discussed and readopted separately. On motion a finance committee was ap-. pointed by the chairman to receive monthly sibscriptions and coutributions for the furtherance of the objects of the ‘American Bimetallic League, and also_to maintain an office in San Francisco. Mr. Baker named the following gentlemen George Edwards, Henry Willey, W. C. Price, Julian Sontag, Simon Wenban, W. L. Dickinson. M. W. Spaulding. George P. eney, Pacific Coest secre- tary of the American Bimetallic League, was added to the committee as secretary. The meeting adjourned to the call of the chair. tel be San Roman Jamps were of many sizes, but most of them very closely resembied what is at present denominated as a sauce or gravy boat. At one end there was a ring, through which the finger was passed when the light was carried. The body of the vessel was filled with oil, and at the other industry, reduced the wages of labor, conferrad a fictitious and unearned premium upon gold, increased the obligations of the debtor class end there was a small tube through which a rag wick was passed.
