THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY ‘14, 1895. 5 THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Owner Charles Boots Fined $250 Over the Services of a Jockey. MAY REMOVE HIS HORSES. Thornhill, Carrying Lots of Stable Money, Won the Handicap in a Drive. Thomas H. Williams Jr. leaves for the East to-night. e Johnny Humphrey took his trainer’s tip ,and backed Thornhill all over the ring. Judging by the length of the lines back of his box Billy Beverly did not fancy the chances of Reno and Mero. Little Pete, the Chinese plunger, is said to have experienced a swell day of it yesterday, smong other winning bets making & mild “killing"” over Crawiord’s win. Previous to the opening race of the day Wyatt perance was night not be | r any of his future per- held accountabl formances.

Surely tnis is not 1t running. Jockey Chevalier, who seems suddenly to have loomed up on the racing horizon as 2 Taral,is in great demand of late, with owners, and as a result of this rivalry Owner Charles Bootsof the Elmwood stock farm was worsted in an argument with the judges in the stand yesterday as to whether he or Denny Lynch was entitled to the colored lad’s services in the mile and an eighth handicap, in which the debate waxed so warm that Mr. Boots was fined $250 for declaring he would not start his horse in the race. The facts of the case are these: Mr. Boots has second call on Chevalier and i tended to enter his filly Roma in the handicap, but changed his mind and put Claudius in instead. When Don Williams, who is the colored boy’s mentor and gnar- dian, saw that Roma was not a starter in the race he engaged Chevalier to Lynch to ride Mr. Jingle. The matter was taken before the judges with the result stated. The raling does not seem a just one, for, ving second call on the jockey, it cer- looks as though Owner Boots was led to his services whether he started Roma or a jackrabbit. The stable thought very well o% the ho: Claudius’ chances, and judging by his performance in the race he would have been a dangerous can- didate with a capable boy in the saddle. The ruling may resultin the big Elm- wood string being removed from the track, as Mr. Boots vas very much nettlea over the affair. 1] the Bay District just at a time when a scarcity of entries compelled the Jockey Club to reduce the number of racing days a week, and the game is beginning to as- sume a very stagnant look.. Mr. Boots bears the highest reputation in racing circles; he is not a betting man, his horses are always out to win, and his black and white jacket with red cap is one of xfhe most popular colorson the California turf. The crowd yesterday was about up to the usual Saturday mark, but the card wasa wretched one barring the handicap. The good horses all appear to be shelved, and the dogs are enjoying their summer out- ing. Nellie G was the only favorite to win during the day, outsiders capturing four events. The one and an eighth mile handicap was about the only lively betting race of the afternoon and bett: seemed wary even of this. Mr.Jingle carried the talent’s coin, backed from threes tollto5. Al- though he had shown up like a “‘dog’’ of | late the stable put three checks down on Thornhill, getting 5and 6 to 1 against their money. Del Norte was a well-backed second choice,while Little Cripple, Flirtilla, | Malo Diablo and Claudius were notin | firem demand, tke latter ridden by a stable | 0y. There was nothing to the race from the fall of the flag but Flirtella and Thornhill, the mare heading -the baldfaced Cheviot colt all the way until a furlong from home, when he drew away from her. but was com- pelled to_be hard ridden to beat out the | 1avorite, Mr. Jingle, who came fast at the end, a head. Flirtella was third, three | parts of a length away. Peter Weber’s big Roman-nosed chestnut Reno scampered away with the opening race at five and a half furlongs, winning very handily from Dolly M in 1:08, going to the post 4 to 1. Arno, the favorite, was beaten a head for the place. The gray mare, Nellie G. again per- formed the trick in the second race, a six- furlong dash, over the hills. Startinga9 to 5 favorite she beat Carmel out a head in a drive, excellently ridden by little Reidy. May Day was only a fair third. The talent received a severe shaking u'p in the next race. It was a five and a half furlong spin, and Sir Richard couldn’t lose, of course, barring death. The book- ies were kept busy swiping his price which, from 2 to 1, finaly reached 13 to 10. Ri- cardo, Gold Bug, Joe Cotton and Myron all received some backing at good odds, but Crawford, who opened at 8, and went t0 20, was apparently overlooked. . Ferguson experienced a deal of trouble in getting them away apparently through the incapability of his assistants. who used their whips with evident ill effects. They were finally dispatched with the favorite off badly.” Myron and Crawford headed the bunch into the stretch, but turning wide, allowed Sir Richard, who sulked the first part of it, but was coming fast, to get throngh next the rail. He was unable. however, to beat out the outsider Craw. ford, who won by three partsof a length, at the conclusion of the | (1 would be a severe blow to | | the who looked a winner up to the last fur- long, finished third. Ali Baba, the 8to5 favorite, showed prominently for a mile and a quarter, when_ he showed percepti- ble signs of tiring. He responded gamely to his rider's urging a quarter from the finishing post, making a last rally, but to no avail. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY. BAN FRANCISCO, July 13, 1895. 1168.

Much Interest Aroused In the Con- tests, Which Are to Be Con- tinued. There was a lot of sport yesterday at Burlingame, that picturesque suburban pleasure resort for the swell young men of society. It was mot in the polo grounds, although there was a practice game played there, nor in the tennis courts, where the attraction No, it was a new feature in the way of sport, and one which promises to become quite popular with the members of the Burlingame Club. The occasion was the initial live-pigeon shoot of the series which has been ar- ranged to take place at fortnightly inter- vals during the summer. The spot chosen for the contest was a hills which look down from the west upon the handsome cottages and villas in the main grounds. There are many of Burlingame’s young men who are exceptionally handy with the gun in the hunting field, but they were not all present yesterday. the ground displayed excellent proficiency and two did some surprisingly clever work. These were Fred Webster and J. R. Carroll of San Jose. The latter made a record of thirty-eight birds without one miss. Although there were only nine members participating in the contest, there were | any number of spectators, who displayed | keen interest in the proceedings. The doughty sportsmen arrived early in day with their guns and all necessary parabernalia. Following the drags and vehicles which carried them and the spec- tators out to the field came a wagon with three large crates containing in all thirty dozen pigeons. The field had already been staked out and an American flag Hoated from each stake. There were four traps prepared and the ranges were 26, 28 and 30 yards. From start to finish everything worked smoothly. There were no hitches in their operations and the birds were a lively lot. With but one or two exceptions they rose rapidly and kept the men with the gunson the jump. Very few of them escapea. Robert Woodward, one of the contest- ants, spared the life of one bird because, as he said, it ““displayed such nerve.” When released from the trap, instead of winging its way upward, the bird coolly strutted about_the ground seeking something to eat. It took no notice of stunes thrown at it, so finally one of the retrievers was sent out fo chase it away. Woodward re: to shoot it, and it was last seen flying over the tree tops. The best shooting, as stated, was done by Fred Webster and Carroll of San Jose. So evenly were they matched that they were tied in the contest for the club trophy —a handsome gold and silver cup. shooting the tie off Carroll only won by one point, his score being 10 to Webster's 9. Webster has a very easy and graceful motion in handling the gun. Edward Donohoe, Richard Sprague, **Rob” Wood- ward and Alex Hamilton were not far be- hind the tie men in the prize contest. It was 4 o’clock before the trophy con- test was ended, and Carroll was declared the winner. The rest of the day was spent ness this, as interest had centered round and culminated in the prize contest. Richard Carroll acted as referce and scorer. and performed his labors in a com- mendable manner. Altogether the Bur- lincame boys were more than satisfied with their initial shooting meeting, and they will endeavor to have the next one, which will come off two weeks hence, on a more elaborate scale. Some of the hunters of the club, who are out of town at present, will have returned, and a much larger at- tendance of contestants is expected. Only 211 of the lot of pigeons taken down yes- wrdaY were killedl.) 1 Following are the scores made yesterday in the trophy contest: F. R. Webster.....30—112122—6 222221—6-12 E.

CLARENCE BARR THE VICTIM. C. B. Henderson, a Traveling Man of Rochester, N. Y., Wielded the Knife. Clarence Barr, a well-known Chinatown guide, was stabbed, it is supposed fatally, | between 3 and 4 o’clock yesterday morning by C. B. Henaerson in the Baldwin Hotel barroom. Henderson is a traveler for a big shoe- bouse in Rochester, N. Y., and it is said has a share in the business. He arrived in the City Friday night and about 3 o’clock y rday morning staggered into the Baldwin barroom considerably under the influence of liquor and said in a loud, threatening tone of voice that he wanted to kill the barkeeper. No attention was paid to him and he dropped his threaten- ing tone. Barr was standing at the bar and Hen- derson asked bim to have a drink. They each had whisky, and after chatting for a minute or two Barr returned the compli- ment. Henderson then called for another | drink, but forgot to pay. The barkeeper (Edwards) suggested that he should pay and he retorted that he had paid for the drinks. The barkeeper appealed to Barr, who said that Henderson had not paid. This angered Henderson and he turned upon Barr. “Ify: v that I didn’t pay for the drinks,” said Henderson, ‘“‘you are a liar.” Barr, who was also slightly under the inflnence of liquor, sented the term “liar” by poing Henderson in the face. Henderson ran into the billiard-room and returned in a few minutes. Eddie | Bennett, the cashier'in the barroom, saw | | Henderson coming, and fearing trouble waiked from behind the bar. Barr had | started to meet Henderson, but was held | back by the barkeeper, while Bennett caught hold of Henderson and tried to get | | him to go outside. ile got him as far as the door opening into the h which leads | to the lodies entrance on Lllis street, but he wonld go no further. All the time he was talking back at Barr. Barr got ex- asperated at something he said, and not- withstanding the barkeeper’s entreaties | not to make trouble he walked up to where | Henderson was standing. 5 As soon as Barr within reach Hen- | derson plunged a knife into his abdomen. | Barr staggered back, clutching at the | wound with both hands, and yelling to Bennett aud Edwards, ‘Look out, he has a_ knife.” Bennett attempted to arrest | Henderson, but when he saw the long | bloody knife he considered that discretion | was the better partof valor, and he allowed | him to walk away Henderson ran toward the Ellis-street | entrance and Bennett rushed outside on " | Powell street ana yelled for the police. | | Policeman Haydon was standing on the | opposite side of the street, and hearing Bennett's cries he rushed over to him. Bennett, in a few hurried words, told the | officer what had happened, and as Haydon ran after Henderson he shouted to him to look out for the knife. Havdon pulled out hisrevolver and threatened to blow Hen- derson’s head off if he did not give up the knife. Henderson reluctantly did so, and Haydon rang for the patrol wagon and | sent him to the City Prison where he was | booked on the ge of assault to murder. { Barr was taken to the Receiving Hospi- 40 years of age. He was dressed in a black Prince Albert suit and wore a _little soft blue traveling cap on his head. When seen vesterday afternoon he showed the effects of the previous night's debauch in his bleared eyes and shaking hands. There was a deep blood stain on his left cuff, and when bis ei'es rested upon it he seemed to shudder all over. When asked for his version of the affair he courteously but firmly declined to say anything. ‘‘I have left everything in the hands of my attorney,”” he ‘said, “and I must refer you to him.” Attorney Mack, who has been retained by Henderson, said he has a wife and three children in Rochester. He left his home | about two weeks ago, and after spending some days in Chicago cameon direct to this City,arriving on Friday night, to fulfill some important business engagements. Of the events oi the previous night, he told his attorney, he had no recollection. Henderson was arraigned in Judge Low’s court, but at the request of his at- torney and the prosecution the case went over to await the result of Barr’s injury. | JOHNSTON'’S LUCKY FIND.

Mediclnes and All Else Are Fur~ nished at This Charge of $5, and This Is the Most Favorable Sea- son for Curing Diseases of Any Nature—Read the Evidence Below. The system of practicing medicine as inaugu- rated by the Copeland Medical Institute was not intended to be a money-making scheme, but for the purpose of enabling people of small means to obtain the same treatment that rich veople pay large sums of money for. These physicians know that they can cure diseases that strike at nine-tenths of our people, and they know that by advertising this fact and treating patients on a grand scale they can afford to charge & low fee to cover cost of serv- ices and medicines—§5 a month—to all. In these hard times such a fee commends itself to every one needing medical trentment,and when the ability of the physicians is vouched for every weekiby citizens of high standingand un- impeachable veracity, who desire others should know what can bedone for them, it would seem that the man or woman who seeks medical at- tention is wasting time and money in notgoing to the Copeland Medical Institute at once.

By the operation of these specialists it is comparatively painless and bloodless and withal permanent. The case of Mr. F. A. Pust, whose place of business is at 220 Bush street and who lives at 307 California avenue, is a typical one. says: ‘‘About ihe first week in May my left nostril became completely filled with tiimors (polypi), causing severe pains over my left eyeand effectually stopping breathing through F.

After one week’s treatment they removed the polypus without causing the least bit of pain. B atinuedtescrens fork Taw weeks longer and now feel perfectly cured, breathing through my nose with greater ease than ever beiore.
