THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1895 5 , THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Chevalier’s Ride on Tar and Tartar Was the Feature of the Day. HE RECEIVED AN OVATION. Played for a “Good Thing,” Mt. Alr Downed Howard In a Nose- and-Nose Finish. The usual ten bookmakers cut in yesterdsy. Charley Quinn thought Bobolink had a chance of finishing in the place and donated a few dollars 1o the ring. Ter end Tartar's win was not & very produc- tive one to his owner, Nick Hall, as Jockey Hinrichs, whose horse McFarlane finished sec- ond, bid the winner, entered to be sold for $100 up to $700, at which figure his owner re- tained him. It was hinted in wise circles that Rinfax had undergone the canning process, one early bird having seen a huge tin can, bearing a red lob- ster label, on which was printed the request, “keep in a dark place,”” which he is positive was intended for the old chestnut. It was stated some days ago that Dan Honig, the St. Louis horseman, would shortly start for California with a string of racehorses. Pos- sibly the wise Dan found transportation to the Golden West a bit too expensive, for he is 11 snugly stabled at St. Louis, one of his horses, Charm, having won & race at St. Louis on Monday. Johnny Coleman of the Stuyvesant Club did not see where Mt. Air figured a chance in the last event of the day, and after the caller had made his announcement at the conclusion of the race, it was with difficulty the penciler could see the end of the line back of his box. Johnny forget that some of the horses at the track have copper on and copper off days. The whi horse Dr. Gardner ran away twice at the post in the first race and acted so badly in general that he was set down as a “hypo.” Atter the race Secretary Hooper of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, accompanied by a veterinary sur- geon, made an examination of the horse in his stall, but could find no trace of his having njected with any drug tending to stimu- ue exertion. The clever coffee-colored lad from New Orleans, Chevalier, distinguished nimself by winning the last three races on the card off the reel, and was the bright particular star before which all of the other incidents and events of the day sank into oblivion. Che form he has been displaying in the saddle of late certainly surpassed that of any of the other boys, and for the time being he is the idol before whose shrine the public is worshiping. Certainly his ride on Tar and Tartar was a good exhibi- tion of determination and grit, and he well-merited the liberal applause that was bestowed upon him by the crowd at the conclusion of the exciting finish. Race-goers turned out in fair numbers, and the racing as a whole was above the average, even if some of the runs would not bear the strictest investigation. Starter Ferguson was only in fair fettle, some of the delays at the post bniug very tiresome. Three favorites, a second and one thirda choice were successful in drawing down the coin. ight hard-shell “crabs” kept the crowd standing on pins and needles by their an- tics at the post in the opening race, a five and a half furlong run, Dr. Gardner being especially active, enlivening matters b, running away twice and getting the bell, After a de.ay of thirty minutes, they were sent away, with the 2to1 favorite, Red Idle, in front, and after letting Steadfast and Tuxedo pass him and run their heads off, he came onin the stretch and won easily from Tuxedo, with Steadfast a tired third. B. C. Holly’s Ali Baba was the touted bod thing in the second race, at the same distance as_the openinf event. With C. Weber up, he was quickly backed from 214 to 1 to 8 to 5, and won easily from Dolly M, one of the second choices, in 1:083{. Amigo finished third. Lady Jane quit going five and a half furlongs on ‘Friday last, but yesterday, starting second choice at 5 to 2 in the third race, a six and a half furlong run, she led from start to finish, winning cleverly at the end a length in front of Road Runner in1 Sir Richard, the first choice, backed from 6 to 5 to 4 to 5, was just nosed out at the wire for the place. The 2to 1 chalked up against Tar and Tartar in the mile-selling race soon melted, his price at post time being even money. Commission was the only one considered likely to give him a race and was quoted at threes, long odds being laid against the others. When the flag fell young Ward on Me- Farlane, a 20 to 1 shot, with but eighty pounds up, skimmed away in front, and at one time it looked as though his run- away tactics would prove successful. Turning into the stretch he had a lead of fully four lengths, with Miss Buckley sec- and and May Day third, the favorite a bad last. Instead of going on and tending to his business Ward could rot resist the temptation to look back and make a few monkey grimaces at his field, and before Jong Mr. Ward was terrified to see the brown head of the favorite on which Chevalier had been working hard at his saddle girth. In a close and exciting drive Chevalier got his mount home a head in front, and was tumultuously cheered on his return to the stand. Commission finished an ordinary third. There were but four starters in the last race, & short six-furlong_dash, with penal- ties and allowances. Rinfax and Char- mion opened equal favorites in the betting at6tob Atposttime9to 5 and 2 to 1 was obtainable against Charmion, and Rinfax, who receded to 11 to 5 at one stage of the betting, was held at 8to 5. A strong tip out on Mt. Air cut his price from 18 to t03 tol. ¢ ?uniax went out in front when the flag fell and led until something over a furlon, from home, when he fell back, and Howar and Mt. Air fought it out to the wire, the latter getting there first by a nosein the fast time of 1:12. Charmion came strong and beat Rinfax for third money.

Annual Shoot of the Country and Tamalpais Gun Clubs—Salmon Fishing. The officers of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association, who will regulate mat- ters connected with the championship tournament at San Rafael, are: Alec B. Wilberforce, president; A. A. Dewing, vice-president; A. Starr Keeler, secretary: Samuel Hardy, Dr. John Spencer, A. J. Treat and A. E. Kaeser. The winner of the all-comers’' tournament will be called upon to piay Samuel Hardy, the present champion, for a trophy presented by* the association, which will become the per- sonal property of any player who wins it three times, but not necessarily in succes- sion. All matches will be played three out of five sets. The Country and Tamalpais clubs will have their annual pigeon-shooting match on Saturday next, at the Oakland Trotting Park. When the sportsman of those two noted clubs meet in yearly competition the feathers are made to_fly in all direc- tions, and generally speaking the shooting done by the contestants is good. Saturday’s match will be a race of twenty-five birds per man, and as each | club will be represented by five of its best | field shots, two hundred and fifty birds | will be sprung from the traps. If the day | is good for trap shooting, it is safe | tosay that two hundred pigeons will meet a quick death. The Country Club will be represented by R. H. Sprague, F. W. Tal- | lant, F. R. Webster, i)onuhoe and A. C. | Tubbs, with R. B. oodward and W. | Kittle as substitutes. The Tamalpais Club ! will send to the feathered field of war T. R. Barney, C. M. Osborn, W. C. Brown, F. Butler Jr. and John Bergez; the substi- tute has not yet been named. The con- sideration is a dinner. Henry Skinner received a telegram from Mr. Chase of Santa Cruz yesterday which states that a great run of quinnat salmon | is now in Santa Cruz Bay, and that anglers are enjoying excellent sport. Two gentle- | men caught sixteen salmon last Sunday morning, two of which weighed respec- tively forty-three and thirty-eight pounds. The salmon are taking minnows best, but to be successful an angler must have his tackle properly mounted, so that the min- now will spin nicely and make an attrac- tive appearance in the water. Minnows that have been preserved in rock salt and will not work off the hook while trolling are the most killing of lures. The fresh minnow is undoubtedly an excellent bait, but it easily separates from the hook and frequently an angler will troll for quite a length of time before he makes the discov- ery that his hook is minus a bait. The spoon occasionally does good service, but the great secret in trolling for salmon is in knowing the proper depth to sink the spoon or minnow and having an oarsman who understands his business and will row slow or fast, as the occasion demands. The Italians, who charge a small fortune for Towing anglers a few hours in the morning, are a lazy lot of fellows, who will not be advised by any person, and much good | sport is lost on their account. The better | and cheaper way to enjo{ salmon-fishing in the Santa-Cruz_and Monterey bays is | for two men to hire a boat and do their own rowing and fishing. Good, service- able boats can be leased for a couple of | dollars, and the anglers will better enjoy the sport than in the company of a fisher- man. A second meeting of sportsmen who are interested in _the success of the Inanimate | | Target Association, which was recently or- | ganized, will be held on Saturday evening | at the Olympic Club. Delegates” from the different” clubs that had representatives | at the last meeting are expected to be on hand, as a permanent organization will be perfected. The new organization will be | known as the California Inanimate Target | Association, and the scheme is to have it i include all the organized gun clubs of the State if possible. It is the intention to hold an initial tournament in September, at which valuable prizes will be ogered for team and individual competition. THE FIRST BURNING. J. H. Sichel’s Body Incinerated Yester- day in the 0dd Fellows’ New Crematory. The first cremation of a human body in San Francisco took place last eveningin the new crematory of the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. A great deal of interest was taken in this event by people who regard incineration of human remains after death with faver, as the reduction to ashes was in the nature of a test, although the furnace and its hot chambers had been tried with success on some of the lower animals. At the request of Dr. Davidson the re- mains of J. H. Sichel, who died recently, were cremated. The doctor was present and watched the process of cremation, and with him were Eniineer Heinemann of the Fulton Iron Works, under whose super- vision the furnaces were built, and George R. Fletcher, superintendent of the ceme- tery; Architect Cahill, who built’ the cre- matory, and Frank Gibson, president of the Alameda County crematory. The body of Mr. Bichel was moved into the hot-air chamber at 4:45 ». m. It lay in a metallic casket, from which the mount- ings had been taken, and presently both casket and remains began to crumble. Owing to the fact that death had taken place some weeks before and the remains were decomposed they could not be removed from the coffin. “Subsequently the ashes were a mixture of black and white, the latter representing all that remained of the metal. No smoke issued from the chimney. 8ix hundred pounds of coke were used and a temverature of 200 de- rees was produced in the hot-air chamber. fn less than two hours only a little pile of ashes lay upon the glowing Dresden tiles. e England is known to foreign observers as the country of large families. FOR THE CHALLENGE CUP, Preparing for the Great Coast Yachting Regatta on the Bay. ENCINALS IN FIRST PLACE. The Prize to Be Sent Across the Bay—A Big Midsummer Inter- club Race. Considerable interest now prevails in yachting circles regarding the coast re- gatta for the San Francisco challenge cup. The scheme was first mentioned in the CALL in the early part of the season when the design of the cup was decided upon. The idea of the race originated with Will Brooks, the well-known yachtsman, and it met immediately with the hearty indorse- ment of every amateur sailor on the bay. The proposition is that the cup shall be held as a perpetual challenge cup and be raced for once a year. Inorder to start the racing it was ne- cessary to make some club the trustee of the prize, and a few days ago it was de- cided to award to the Encinals of Alameda this distinction. The cup will be delivered into the hands of Commodore Leonard in the early part of next week at the Mer- chants’ Exchange, or some other public The San Francisco Challenge Cup. [Sketched by 'a “Call” artist.] place. Assoon as it is accepted the Enci- nal Club is open to challenges from any and every organized yacht club, having three or more vessels, from San Diego to Victoria. Only one boat can be entered by each club, and the name must accompany the challenge of the club. One of the con- ditions is that the yacht named must not exceed by 10 per cent the sailing length of the largest craft in the challenged club. On the other hand the club which accepts the challenge must not name a yacht which exceeds 10 per cent mote than the sailing length of the challenging boat. The interest manifested in the regatta can be understood when it is remembered that there are five big yacht clubs in the bay and one each in San Diego, San Pedro, Seattle, Portland and Victoria, all of which are entitled to challenge the holder of the cup. an future the regatta must be sailed on some date between May 1 and September 30. According to the rules regulating the race the latter must take place not less than 3G days or more than 60 days after the holder of the cup has been challenged. The regatta will be sailed under the Sea- wanhaka rulesand under the auspices of a regatta committee composed of three mem%)ers of the challenged club’s regatta committee and three from that of the first club challenging. If a challenge be received from a port foreign to the club holaing the cup, the committee has power to extend the time 60 days, and ten days after that if a good reason can be offered. The regatta com- mittee shall select an outsider for referee, whose decision shall be final. An attempt is on foot to establish a’ vearly midsummer inter-club regatta, the event to be held some time in July. With this end in view the following circular has been issued to all the clubs: BAN FRANCISCO, June 14, 1895, Commodore—DEAR SIR: The undersigned de- sires your co-operation in the following, to wit: That the five yacht clubs located in this vicinity unite in giving a midsummer inter- club regatta in July of each year, the date to be fixed by a committee to be composed of one Tepresentative from the regatta committee of each club participating. This committee to have full charge of all matters connected with the affair, acting as the regatta committee and authorized to select a referee, to whom all matters in dispute relative to the race should be referred, his decision to be final. By co- rating as above suggested each club conld ord to subscribe at least fifty ($50) dollars to the fund to cover prizes, print ng, regatta, ete. The C.Y.C. has on its programme an open re- gatta for July 21. With the consent of its di- rectors it is proposed to dro{) this event, pro- vided the regatta, as outlined, should be given. If the foregoing should meet with yourap- proval will you kindly so inform me at an early date, ip order that a communication may be sent to each club advising that the event is assured and that the representative should be appointed with power to act. No signature is attached to the circular, as the latter was put out as a feeler. Three clubs have already signified their inten- tion of joining the enterprise, and there is but little doubt that everybody will be in before the regatta is held. The race will be open to all classes of boats, large and small, and if the scheme Yroves a success one of the most remarkable aquatic sights ever witnessed on the bay will be pre- sented. From forty to sixty yachts can be athered together from both “sides of the ay, and with that fleet under sail the ef- fect from sea or shore may be imagined. OAPTURE OF A MAN-EATER. Al Cumming Lands & Monster Shark ‘While Fishing for Salmon. Al Cumming returned from Santa Cruz yesterday and he is more than delighted with the sport he has had catching salmon in that bay. His greatest catch was a shark that weighed 176 pounds. Mr. Cumming says that shark-fishing as a sport is far in advance of salmon-fishing. He hooked the tiger of the deep when angling for salmon, and it took him exactly one hour and twemg-thm minutes to land his prize. The shark made a most stubborn resistance and frequently ran out 170 yards of line, but to the careful hand- ling of the experienced angler the mon- ster succumbed and was gaffed and landed in the most approved style. Cumming used a bamboo bass rod of about eight feet in length, and the reel of the latest design which held 600 feet of strong linen line. It was well tested on this occasion and proved to be the kind exactly answerable for deep-sea fishing. Upon inspection it was found that the shark had several fish from six to twelve inches in length in his stomach. Cumming says that for sport the capture of a shark is more interesting and exciting sport than any other kind of fishin; e will tackle the game again in a few ;‘l'nyu. ——————— ‘White Metal for the Angel. The City Hall Commissioners met yesterday morning and without once referring to the Tespective merits of the Marion Wells and other designs of dome angels adjourned. The architect presented a sample of white metal of a superior tensile strength to that proposed bK Wells, and this will be subjected to a test wit a possibility that it will be adopted if it proves 10 be what is claimed for it. A VERDIOT IN FORTY MINUTES. ‘Wong Suey Swept Through the United States Court. The United Btates District Court broke the record yesterday. A case was called, tried and a verdict returned in forty min- utes. The prisoner was Wong Suey, a Stockton Chinese, who was accused of having con- traband opium in his possession. The at- torney for the Government was Bert Schlesinger, Assistant United States Dis- trict Attorney, and Wong was defended by T. D. Riordan. The case was called at 11 A.». and ten minutes later the jury was impaneled. At 11:25 A. M. the evidence was all in, and, ac- cording to agreement, Schlesinger ana Riordan only occupied five minutes each in their address to the jury. District Judge Hawley’s charge to the jury lasted about two minutes anda it took the jury three minutes to return a verdict of “not guilty.”” Wong Suey was accord- ingly discharged. LAW FAVORS THE TAILORS, Victims of Suit Clubs Come to Grief in the Justices’ Court. The Organizers Were Permitted to Keep Money for Which No Value Was Given. Justice of the Peace J. E. Barry yester- day decided a case of considerable interest to tailors who have been engaged in run- ning suit clubs, and to persons who have paid money to them, taking chances on the scheme. M. E. Stanford had paid $11 into a suit club in eleven weekly installments, and G. E. Lawrence paid in like manner $23 intoa club conducted by Hugh Forgie, when the operations of the clubs were stopped, being deciared illegal by the United States Government. The tailors engaged in the business refused to return the money to their patrons, who had re- ceived no consideration, and Stanford and Lawrence assigned their claims against Forgie to J.J. Rauer for collection, and the judgment rendered yesterday was that of a test case upon which thousands of dollars which has peen paid into these clubs depended. The case was tried some weeks ago and has been under advisement since then. Rauer, represented by his attorney, Perry, claimed that the patrons who had paid” their money in good faith were en- titled to recover it from the tailor who had accepted it but who refused to give any value. Wickliffe Matthews appeared as attorney for the tailors, and took the position that the running of & suit club was a lottery, and that the same was illegal, and that money paid into a lottery scheme could not te recovered. Justice Barry in his opinion coincided with this view of the case and decided that the patrons of a suit club were not in any case entitled to recover their money for the reason that they were patronizing a lottery. A large number of suit club members have been anxiously watching the case, many having been in attendance at the trial, with a view of beginning proceedings for recovery immediately if the judgment had been in their fayor. As it is, however, the: teilors seem to have the best of it as faras it has gone, and the victims of the insinuating but defunct suit club will have to accept the situation or find some other mode of procedure. SUED THE SUPERVISORS, One Firm of Contractors Is Seeking to Hold Them Responsible. Justice Groezinger Declides That They Have Only to Follow the Law as Lald Down. One string of the infinite tangle which bad financiering has brought upon the City’s affairs got into the Justice’s court yesterday. Malloy & Broeder, one firm of con- tractors, sought to recover $200 at the hands of Justice of the Peace Groezinger for goods which they had delivered to the Almshouse for the sustenance of the old folks there. ‘With the knowledge that a long train of very astute business men who had sold things to the City and because of certain clauses in the constitution had been pre- vented from recovering the money Frank Dillon, counsel for the contractors, took anew tack. He brought the suit against the individual members of the Board of Supervisors. Now anybody might see at a glance how very interesting the office of Supervisor with a salary of $100 a month would be, once it became known that the man hold- ing it became personally liable for the debts of the City, or even for those debts growing out of “supplies furnished its in- stitutions at their order, seeing that there are in the hands of these other business men claims to the amount of several hun- dred thousand dollars. City and County Attorney Creswell filed a demurrer to the complaint, declaring that the Supervisors were not liable for the debts of the City.and the argument took place yesterday afternoon, and Judge Groezinger sustained the demurrer, not to the tremendous relief of the members of the board, for they were not worried about the matter at all. Judge Groezinger held that the law made the duties of the Supervisors clear. They were reqnired to let contracts, and to vide for the sustenance of the several in- stitutions from the public funds, and that s0 long as they did not go beyond the limits of these provisions of the law govern- ing their conduct, they could not be held privately liable for their public acts. It is altogether Erohable that the case will be appealed to the highercourts. City and County Attorney Creswell is entirely confident of his position, however. e ——e———— Fought to a Draw. WHEELING, W. Va., June 25.—Johnny Van Heest of Milwaukee and Jerry Mar- shall of Australia fought thirty-one rounds to a draw at the Metropolitan Athletic Club house at Fulton, near this city, to- night. The honors were about even up to the twenty-fourth round, when both men weakened, and the contest was very tame from that to the end. The contest was for $500 a side and a purse. e Sanger and Sims Suspended. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 25.—Chair- man Gideon of the L. A. W. Racing Board to-day admitted that he had suspended Walter Sanger and F. 8ims for receiving cash instead of a prize. ————— Byron’s mother was an_ill-tempered, assionate woman, very indiscreet in her anguage. She called him a ‘“crippled brat.”” Her influence on him was as per- manent as it was bad. ————— The cost of becoming a naturalized En, lishman is about $30. £ SURPRISES ARE PROMISED America’s New Cup Defender All Ready for the Water. TO BE LAUNCHED SATURDAY. The Magnificent Yacht Has a Tre- mendous Spread of Salland Is Surely a Winner. BRISTOL, R. I., June 25.—Saturday of this week is the day scheduled for the launch of the new America cup-racer— Defender. * The self-imposed task of keep- ing secret the lines and method of con- struction of the Defender has been most successfully accomplishediby the Herre- shoffs, and many surprises are promised for yachtsmen when the hope of the Na- tion is cut free for the inspection of the people. The little fan-like structure with the slanting roof in the south end of the Herreshoffs’ yards,where the Defender has been fashioned and finished and where she now awaits only the hammer stroke to take her first plunge into her natural element, has been almost sacred ground, and none but the seventy or eighty ship-carpenters, joiners, metal-workers, sailmakers and others emploved upon the vessel have been allowed admission. Money and brains are represented in the new yacht to a greater extent thanany other vessel of her size, class and make afloat. It is expected that she will prove a marvel. She is without doubt the most perfect and costliest sloop yacht ever built. She is original in every part. Her lead keel is unlike any other yet run. It is easy of curvature, has just enough round to it for a good sidewise gripand is sure to hold her well up to the wind. The length of the Defender is 124 feet over all. She has 24-foot beam and draws 18 feet of water. Her lines show very easy curves and a beautiful round section at the bilge. She is narrower than Lord Dunraven’s Val- kyrie II, and although she draws more water than does the Vigilant, she has the same wetting surface. She has 72 steel frames placed 2014 inches apart and is provided with aluminum bronze plates. The saving of weight by the use of these metal plates is something like seven tons. He spars and blocks are made of Oregon pine, and are the strongest, lightest and most costiy ever bent on any yacht. Her mainmast is 102 feet long, with a circum- ference of 35 inches at the heel. The boom is 102 feet, with 1014 inches diameter at the jaws; gaff 64 feet, bowsprit 41 feet, spin- naker pole 42 feet, topmast 57 feet, and her club topmast pole 51 feet. Her spread of canvas is 19,000 feet, or 1000 more than that of the Valkyrie. Her mainsail meas- ures 6500 feet, her topsail 1325 feet, the two jibs 2300 feet, club topsail 1848 feet and her spinnaker 7128 feet, making her the heav- iest-sparred single-sticker that ever touched the water. The aisplacement of the De- fender is small, hardly up to 140 tons. Her sails do not differ materially, however, from the ordinary duck ones except that the cloth runs from leach to luff instead of up and down. The greatest claim to consideration, however, that the Defender shows is in her savirg of weight. This, to the initiated, is sufficient in itself, so it is claimed, to pull out a winner by many minutes over a boat of equally good, oreven better design. All the halyards, it is understood, are led below through tubes in the deck, and worked by powerful winches, assuring a much easier and. more expeditious trim- ming of sheets than by the old hand and deck method. The channel on which the mud-diggers have been at work for some weeks is now deep enough to warrant the launch being made, and would float a boat drawing even more water than the Defend- er. The spars have been stepped, the fine American cotton sails fitted and the last rivet headed. All that now remains is to send her away, fit her out in a manner befitting her berth, and then show the pritishers a clear and beautifuily designed and handsomely wrought stern in each and every race for which she is entered.
