4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1895. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Exciting Programme for the Country Club’s Guests. A “PINK” DAY AT POLO. Thrilling Scenes Mark the Play in the Contest With the Blues. SCORE OF FOUR TO NOTHING. Hobart and Bettner Ride a Great Race to Test the Mettle of Their Ponies. DEL MONTE, CaL., Aug. 28.—To-night the talk is of the great events of the day— pelo, fast riding, the sudder: ani dangerous Wheels, striking stops, and of the complete triumph of the Pinks over the Blues. it was a thrilling scene at times when the six ponies and their bold riders became bunched in a seemingly hopeless tangle, | the whole bristling with much like the spears of a company of desperate warriors. Society stood by and cheered with its dainty hands and applauded with its cul- tured voice each brilliant play sufficiently to reward each and all of the contestants for the hard work and dangers they were incurring for the benefit of the select. The field was slow, dead, dusty and so soft that the ball would get lost and re- quire mining for almost every charge, but the game was fought to a finish in a man- ner to win the hearty plaudits of all who witnessed the game. At times it was even fierce enough to send a genuine thrill through the frames of the spectators. The game was inaug- urated shortly after 3 o’clock, and until 3 the spectators were highly interested in the proceedings. The ponies could not well be surpassed— mettlesome and plucky, swiit and abso- lutely they seemed fitted by nature and tr: g for the arduous work re- quired of them. The riders, too, wWere ed up to concert vitch, every one of | them, and it was plainly to be seen that to | know the reason why was the de- termination of each one of them. Captain J. 8. Tobin, with Messrs. Mar- tin, Henshaw and Baldwin, the team that defeated Hobart’s team on Monday, Captain Malcolm Thomas, Baylard, Simpkins and Wheeler, the former wearing pink and the latter sporting blue as their distinctive colors. | It was “pink” day. They won at every turn, notallowing their opponents the poor satisfaction of even one score. | The game stood at the close 4to 0 in | favor of the *‘Pinks.” But barring the tale as told by the score, it was no walk- | over. The game was hotly, albeit unsuc- ce: iy, contested from start to finish. In the first bout the “Pin won a score by the brilliant playing of Mr. Tobin, who, on securing the ball after a long mix-np of all forces near the center of the field during which | time the ball was repeatedly buried in the loose sand, sent it fiving toward the goal, and by his hard riding and brilliant playing drove it fast and furiously without | let up or hindrance between the flags. A loud shout greeted this excellent play on his part. L In the two succeeding bouts, althongh | hard fought throughout, neither side was enabled to score. In the fourth bout the *‘Pinks” went in with a vengeance and some very pretty | work was done, especially on the part of | Mr. Tobin and Mr. Baldwin, each of whom seemed to be closely wedded to the ball. In this last bout the ‘‘Pinks’ scored three times, making the game stand four to nothing, as above indicated. The event of the afternoon at the race- track was not polo, notwithstanding all | that has been said. The best element of the sport of the day was the quarter of a mile pony dash between Comanche, ridden by Mr. W. S. Hobart, owner, and Lady Greensleeves, ridden by Mr. Bettner, owner, s event had been dressed up for the occasion by numerous peppery, salty and vinegary remarks on every hand for the previous twenty-four hours. Smooth and volished on the surface, but with an under- carrent of genuine feeling, had been run- ning the comments of the champions of the respective parties. When the hour arrived for determining the mettle of the steedsand owners as well, Jeréme Lincoln tapped the bell with a professional’s siroke, and soon the two ponies, with owners up, appeared before the grand stand. Mr. Hobart first appeared riding Com- anche, his colors'being a red waist with a Maltese cross in gold. He received a round of applause, which was marked and enthu- siastic. A moment later Mr. Bettner came on, mounted on as pretty a bit of horse- flesh in the pony line as one seldom runs across. He, too, received a round of hearty applause and without more ado the ponies were ambled to the post. There was but a moment’s delay, ana at the drop of the flag the little animals fairly flew down the course, leaving two distinct trails of dust behind them. On they came, neck and neck, bounding for- ward, still swifter and swifter under the prick of spur and stroke of whip, the rapid and constant use of which on Comanche told that, for the Hobart colors, the fight was on for all of the reserve power at com- mand. As they neared the grand stand it was plain to be seen that Lady Greensleeves was running easily and a good length or more to the better. Now Comanche, un- der the hard riding of Hobart, seemed to gather strength for the final spurt, but it was born of a false hope, for Lady Green- sleeves passed under the wire an easy win- ner. Then there was cheering. Hats and caps went aloft and lusty voices shouted over and over, again and-again the cry of rejoicing. The gentlemen from the South had won and they and their friends were not slow in making that fact known just as fast and as far ag possible. It was a beautiful race. Mr. Hobart shook hands with Mr. Bettner and said: “It was a fair and complete victory, but I will match you again.” The “O}d Guard” are here to-night, and their faces recall the events of the past years when the Country Club inaugurated these annual events. There is much regret expressed by the old set, or rather such of them as are bere, in the change which has come over their pet meetinz of the year. That many do not kindly take to polo and racing is evident from expressions freely made on every hand. There is too much of the exclusive. too many “sets” to suit the old participantsin these celebrations. As Mr. Hobart was coming along on the return from the race track to-day, driving his crack six-in-hand, drawing a merry load of his friends, the rear axle of his magnificent coach was sprang so as to ne- cessitate the whole party dismounting and getting to the hotel as best they could, while the broken coach was taken off for repairs. To-morrow’s races bid fair to present a full day’s sport, and every one is anxious for the coming day and it3 pleasures. The following-named guests arrived from San Francisco to-day: P. P.

THE BAWNMGRE LOST Continued from First Page. ] Payta, Peru, and there the fun began. A band of guerrillas came down from the mountains and took charge of the town. They levidd blackmail on all the prominent men, and the skipper and his bride received particular atten- tion from them:. On several occasions the rob- bers attempted to board the steamer, but the captain and his crew were always on the watch, and on one occasion the five monthe’ bride drove the brigands away by presenting a double-barreled shotgun at them. The town and harbor was held for twenty- four days by the brigands, and they were finally bought off by the payment of 8000 pesos, which the principal man in the town orrowed or received on account from the cap- tain of the steamer. The vessel in question is the British steamer Bawnmore, and she is commanded by Captain Alexander Woodside, & brother of the owner. The steamer is uader charter to Grace & Co. to carry erude petroleum from Peru to San Fran- cisco, and owing to the fact that the guerrillas held the town the vessel was delayed twenty- four deys. Captain Woodside does not object to keeping bis men under arms for that length of time, neither does his wife object to being called upon to repel boarders, but the gallant skipper does object to being kept at that par- ticnlar point awsiting Grace & Co.'s pleasure because a band of rebbers held the village. Grace & Co. would not compromise the matter, so Captain Woodside has begun suit to | recover the sum of $3800 for demurrage. He expects to prove that 1t was a band of robbers terrorizing the town that delayed him, while Grace & . will assert that there was a re- bellion in progress. As the principal men in the ofl regions all assert that the men who held the town were robbers it will be hard for Grace & Co. to prove that they were insurgents. The Bawnmore arrived from Payts, Peru, a week ago. She anohored in the stream and later went to the Arctic Oil Works. When Captsin Woodside discovered that a compro- mise was not &\Snbh‘ he stopped discharging and at once libeled the remsinder of the cargo. We had a very pleasant trip from Szn Fran- cisco to Payta, said one of the crew yesterday when talking about the matter. At the latter place, however, we had enough fun to last for the remainder of the voyage. The village in Talara Bay, opposite which we anchored, is only a little bit of a place. The principal man in it is the owner of the oil wer\s. and as the Bawnmore uses oil as fuel in her furnaces, our skipper had contracted with him to supply on tanks. There were abbut 8000 pesos on hoai and that money cost us an awfal amount of trouble. The hills at the back of the town were overrun with robbers and these gentry nused to make periodical descents on the place, While we were in port they made a raid and captured the town. They also thought they could capture the Bawnmore, but they were mistaken. Captain Woodside had eight repeat- ing rifles on board, and these were always kept in readiness. M Woodside carried a shotgun, and had it come to a pinch I think she would have fought as well as any of us. The oil wells from which the steamer was to get her supply are a long way from the beach, 80 the bitumen has to be piped from the wells to the water's edge. When the robbers found they could not get any money out ot the vil- lagers they cut the pipes and swore they would not allow any more oil to be pumped into the steamer unliess money was forthcoming. In his dilemma the owner of the wells applied to Captain Woodside and that gentle- man at once paid him the money due on account of fuel. This sum—8000 pesos—was handed over to the robbers and they at once retired to the mountains. Five hours later the Government troops were on the scene, but as usual they were a day behind the fair. Mrs. Woodside is a brick—one of the hricks that formed the walls of Sparta—and 1000 men like her conld conguer the whole of Bouth America. She was always on the alert and when the robbers came prowling around she was generally the first to catch sight of them. R. E. Hue, manager of Grace & Co., who chartered the vessel, was seen at a late hour last night and he said there was no truth in the rumor that she was topheavy in her load. He could tell nothing about the probable loss as he had received no in- formation in addition to that first fur- nished by the Merchants’ Exchange. His denial of the reported overloading was emphatic, in connection with which he referred to the vessel’s having Lloyd cer- tificates. VICTRY FOR McDONALD, The Pacific Bank Demurrer in P. F. Dundon’s Suit Sustained. Judge Hunt Says That One Depos- Itor May Not Sue for the Benefit of Many. Judge Hunt yesterday sustained the Pacific Bank’s demurrer to the complaint filed by P. F. Dundon, who is suing the bank as one of the depositors. The matter was argued some time ago. Although the demurrer is sustained, Mr. Dundon has the opportunity to amend the bill, and an appeal may be taken. In the decision Judge Hunt says: The compleinant seeks equitable relief, and the purpose of the action isone which com- mends itself to a court of equity. If thisaction could be sustained, it might avold the neces- sity of a thousand or more suits brought by the depositors separately against the directors of the bank to recover the smountdue them, 1t is the favorite purpose of equity to prevent a multiplicity of suits, Upon the argnment, it seemed to me, that the powers of the court of equity were sufficiently expansive and mobile 10 afford relief to the complainants upon a bill of this character, and I have since found that authorities, among them Pro- 0y, irmly maintained this view. But discussion of the point is, in my opinion, concluded bv the decision of the Supreme Court in Corey vs. Brown, where in construing section 382 of the Code of Civil Procedure, permitting one to sue for the benefit of many, it is held that this privilege only exists when the parties plaintiff are united in interest. The interest of each depositor is a several in- terest, and under the above authority this action will not lie. I have not been able to find any case subse- quently decided which modifies the rnle alrerdy expressed. This objection is one which cannot be remedied by an amendment of the bill; but the objection is also made in the de- murrer that the names, parties defendant, who are claimed to be insolvent, are not set forth. 11 this action can be maintained at all, such an allegation may be neceseary. And, upon an appenl being taken from thisorder, it might be affirmed upon the last mentioned ground only. Therefore, inorder to afford the plaintiff any ovportunity to amend his bill in this par- ticular, if he shall 50 desire, it is ordered that the demurrer hereto be sustained. IPACIFIC COAST NEWS, Excellent Bicycle Racing at the Woodland Meet. BIG CROWDS ATTRACTED. The Largest That Had Ever Assembled at Agri~ cultural Park. EACH EVENT WAS A FEATURE. Though the Track Was Slow Every Finlsh Was Desperate and Sensatlonal. WOODLAND, Car., Aug. 28. — The Woodland meet of the Pacific Cyclist Cir- cuit came off here to-day before the largest crowd that ever assembled at Agricultural Park. The grand stand was filled, the space between the stand and fence was a black mass of humanity and over 500 people occupied the carriage space. This attendance is all the more remarkable from the fact that the races were held in the forenoon in very threatening weather and were the first ever witnessed by Wood- land people. Everything went off like clockwork, not a hitch occurred, and although the track was very slow the finish of evéery race was both desperate and sensational. A great deal of praise was extended to C.N. Ravline, the promoter of the circuit, over the unqualified success of his venture. A greater success could not be desired than the result of to-day’s meet. Burke, the Los Angeles rider, made a very popular wianing of the class B mile open, while Slater and Foster made a great sensational finish for second place, coming in so close that their handle bars were locked when the tape was crossed. Ulbricht of Los Angeles cleverly won the mile class B handicap, defeating Jones right at the finish, the latter having eased up just at the wrong time, allowing Ul- bricht to shoot by like a streak. The The track was too heavy for Foster in this race, but notwithstanding he made a great ride on the home stretch and fininished in fourth place, the winner being hardly a wheel’s length away. Frank Byrne rode excellently and won the mile open, class A, in a hard fight with Chapman and Metcalfe. Little Metcalfe, the imperial spider, won the admiration of the crowd by his gritty riding, and when he won the class A handicap was cheered as lustily as if he had been a local rider. Percy Mott was also very popular with the big audience, but the track was too heavy for the little fellow. The first race of the day was the one- mile county championship, which was easily won by Harry Adams, the local crack, who led the bunch almost the en- tire distance. Adams has a good racing future pefore him. Fester, Burke, Ulbricht, Jones, Slator, ‘Cushing and Smith lined up for the mile open, class B, and at the crack of the pis- tol Burke led out. On the backstretch Foster was leading, and at the three-quar- ter pole Burke made one of his famous jumps, coming down"the stretch like the wind, and crossing the tape a winner by two lengths. Slator won second from Fos- ter by scarcely an inch. Allan Jones had fallen about bhalf way down the home- stretch. In the heats of the mile scratch, class A, Byrne, Smith, Ravline, Kraft, Mott, Chap- man, Hirsch and Metcalfe qualified for the final. Ravline and Conger paced the final on a tandem. At the start Smith captured the rear wheel of the pace-maker, with the rest strung out. Upon rounding the turn into the stretch Smith and Mott jumped into the sprint, Byrne came up strongly, while Chapman was forced out into the | loose dirt. Byrne won, with Metcalfe and | Chapman close up in second and third positions. Tho miie handicap, class B, had Foster | on the scratch, Slator 25 yards, Ulbricht 35, Burke 45, Jones 55, Smith 85, Cushing 100 and Beedle 125. It was a sprint from the pistol-shot, and going up the back- stretch the back markers were doing some great riding. As they rounded into the home stretch the riders were all bunched. BSuddenly Jones went to the front in a lightning rush and opened up a big lead. He looked a sure winner, but easing up when near the finish Ulbricht shot past a winner by a length. Slater was a very close third. In the heats of the mile handicap, class A, Metcalfe, Kraft, Conger, Mott, Adams, Husted, Chapman and C. M. Smith quali- fied for the final. Owing to the soft condi- tion of the track the back markers were badly handicapped and, as was expected, failed to make a showing, Little “‘Spider™ Metcalfe took matters very easily and came in on a strong spurt, winning by over a dozen lengths, Kraft second and Conger third.

Mile exhibition by the ter, Burke, Jones and Be The largest crowd of the week attended the races at the district fair to-day. The first event was a dash of three- quarters of a mile for a purse of $150. Nellie G, Faro, Alliance, Lady Jane, Hy- men and Rob Roy entered. It was tame. Lady Jane took the lead after a good deal of scoring and won in 1:16 by three open lengths. Alliance was second and Nellie G third. Then the bay stallion Iron Alto was brought out, and he went against his record of 2:33. He made the first quarter in :37, the half in 1:14)4 and finished in 2:2914. He is a three-year-old. i The 2:15 trot for all ages tollowed, and was won in three straight heats without much of an effort. The fillies were Paloma Prince, Nellie W, Thompson, George Dex- ter, Margaret Worth, Hamrock and Hills- dale. Thompson opened up at 15 to1and went up after the first heat to 10 to 1, and for the last heat the betters could only get Time, even money, The time was 2:15%, 2:15 and 2:19, The 2:15 pace was uninteresting from the fact that Waldo J so far outclassed the others that they were not in it for a min- ute. The finish of the first heat was Waldo J, Fred Mason, Ottinger, Hanford, Medium, Del Norte and Belle. Time, 2:10%. The finish of the second heat was Waldo J, Belle, Mason, Ottinger, Hanford, Me- dium and Del Norte. Time, 2:113{. The third heat of the pace ended the day's events. Waldo J broke on the first turn. At the quarter Mason led, the others well buiiched. On the upper turn Waldo J took the lead and was never headed. Belle and Ottinger both passed Mason in the streich. Time, 2:12}¢. A Teamster Run Over and Killed. WOODLAND, Carn., Aug. 28. — Fred Hughes, a teamster, was run over and killed to-day. He was driving a team which was hauling a load of fruit boxes. he boxes began to fall off, and, in reach- ing to save some of them, he lost his bal- ance and fell to the ground. The wheels passed over his skull and he died in an hour. He was a member of the local 0dd Fellows’ lodge. COMPLAINT OF THE SULTAN. Objects to England’s Attitude in the Ar- menian Matter. LONDON, Exc., Aug. 28.—A dispatch from Constantinople to the Pall Mall Ga- zette confirms the statement previously cabled thatthe Porte has complained to France and Russia of England’s attitude in regard to Armenia. The Gazette'sdis- gntch adds that the dispatch sent by the ultan to the French and Russian diplo- mats bitterly complains that Great Brit- ain’s discourteous and unseemly attitude is derogatory to the prestige of the Sultan. He, therefore, appeals to Russia and France to use their good offices to induce Great Britain to modify her attitude. The replies of the French and Russian representatives, however, do not favor the Turkish contention or give the Sultan any encouragement. R SPECAL ELECTION Wants the Municipal Owner- ship Question Put to the People. Petitlon Accordingly Drafted to the Mayor and Board of Supervisors. The committee chosen by the Union for Practical Progress night before last to de- vise some plan for bringing into realiza- tion the idea of municipal ownership of public utilities went right to work yes- terday. It prepared a petition to the Mayor and Board of Supervisors asking that a special election be called to put the question of the City owning its own light and water service to a vote of the people. It took the i:recnution of first seeking legal advice. Following is the petition: To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Super- visors of San Francisco: We your petitioners, residents and voters in the City and County of San Francisco, respectfully ask that a special election be called and held for submitting to the votersof this City and County the question of municipal ownership of the waterworks, gasworks and electric-lighting plants which are now using our streets. We request that at the election which you are asked to call the voters be allowed to signify their assent or disapproval (in con- formity with Article XI, section 18 of our eon- stitution) of the incurring of such indebtedness as may be found necessary to provide this City with an sdequate and proper water, gas an electric-light supply. We request further that they be allowed at said election to signify their preference as to whether the present works shall be condemned and taken atan appraised valuation or that new works shall be constructed. We request further that, preliminary to the calling of the election petitioned for, compe- tent and reliable experis be directed to ex- amine the water works, gas works and electric- lighl‘rlnnl! of this City and that they be di- rected to ascertain as near as possible the actual cost of said works, and that they be re- quired to report their findings, within six months from date of their appointment, to ?‘ollr honorable body; that the result of their nvestigation be published in the daily papers in concise form for three weeks, and that at {‘h?dexpirm.iun of such time the election be eld. We request that all works undertaken be under the direct control of the City, and that as far as possible California products shall be used, if eaid undertaking receives the assent oi the voters of this City and County. Requesting your favorable and prompt ac tion, we subseribe ourselves, your petitioners: John M. Reynolds, F. W. Lynch, J. A. Anthony, J. E. Scott, H. T. Clifford, committee of the Union for Practical Progress. The following letter is to accompany the petition: To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Super- visors, San Francisco—GENTLEMEN: Herewith we inclose a petition, which we as a committee of the Union for Practical Progress conforming to the wishes of our nocietg orward to you. We very respectfully ask that the matter be seriously considered by your honorable bodg. Yours very respectfully, John M. Reynolds, F. W. Lynch, J. A. Anthony, J. E. Scott, H.T. Clifford, committee. Chairman Reynolds, speaking of the committee’s plans, said a constitution for the organization of municipal ownership clubs had already been formulated and the work of forming clubs all over the City would at once begin. THE MECHANIOS' FAIR. Jurors Selected to Judge of the Merits of the Exhibits. The Mechanics’ Institute Fair was re- markably well patronized last evening, considering that it was the middle of the week. The directors held a long meeting and selected the jurors who will judge the merits of seventeen classes of exhibits. The other jurors will be selected later. Superintendent 8myth’s system of jude- ing by the percentage of each exhibit as determined by the jurors has been adopted and all are satisfied with the fairness of the system. Bias and prejudice will cut no figure. Preparations are being made to receive and entertain the public and private school children upon afternoons that will be set by the directors, who be- lieve that the fair is as much of an educa- tional institution as a college. The Merchants’ Association paving ex- hibit is now in place. The exhibit is under the charge of Ernest McCullough, the civil engineer. It consists of samples of all kinds of pavements and road-making implements and the materials of which roads and streets are made. There are also six different styles of streetcar rails, from the abominable to the ideal, To-morrow evening will be known as Waf;ner’u night and only Wagner musio will be played by the orchestra, which will be increased to fifty pieces, l“ollowing 8 the musical programme for to-day : AFTERNOON.

Alr Became Suddenly Af- flicted With Speed and Won Galloping. GRATIFY CAN HANDLE WEIGHT. Speedy Sport McAllister Plunged On, Kicked Dust in the Faces of Fast Ones. Sl vet Racing will be resumed on the Bay District Track on the Tuesday following the closing ot the State Fair, The string of Naglee Burke, including the crack Crescendo, will arrive in California about the first week in November. The crack riders, Fred Taral, Griffin and Lonnie Clayton, will arrive about the same time. Among the boys that will be seen in the sad- dle at Sacramento is & young lightweight named Donahue, now in the employ of Burns & Waterhouse. The lad was formerly in the employ of “Billy” McCormick and was con- sidered a promising rider. Preparations are being made fora gala pro- gramme on Saturday previous to the Sacre- mento exodus. There will be seven races on the card, the feature of the day being a Dark- town derby once around the steeplechase course without the jumps. The first race will be called at 2 o’clock. Benham was again cutloose yesterday. The orders given the boy were evidently just the opposite of those given Piggott when he came in for considerable adverse criticism in his preceding race. Yesterday he was sent to the front and died there, while Piggott was told to take him back and then come on in the streteh. The officials in the stand are evidently prone to take a mild view of affairs in general at the track this week, and are passing over some sudden revers- als of form that would have come in for in- vestigation earlier in the meeting. There isa horse at the track called Mount Air, ruuning in the name of W. B. Dodd— On Tuesday he ran lastin a field of four in a seven-furlong dash run in 1:28, Yesterday, with three pounds less weight up, he was apparently shod with pneu- matic shoes. The race in question wasa seven-furlong handicap, with McLight a 2 to 1 favorite and Flirtilla a strong second choice. McFa rlane, Roma and Tillie S were also starters in the race. There was but one horse in it from the flag-fall, and that was Mount Air. He went to the front at once, and galloping all the way, won by three lengths from McFarlane in 1:273{. Roma was a good third, The winner was backed down 1n the betting from 12 to 7 to 1. Another surprise party occurred in the opening race, a half-mile aash for maiden two-year-olds. Ollie M was backed from 8 to 5down to 6 to 5, but later went back again to 9 to 5 from the force of a stiff pla; that was made on Cheripe, who appeare to be “‘cherry ripe,”” and closed equal fav- orite with Ollie.” The latter was induiged, with the lead until a furlong from homee when Cheripe came up and in a wild driy won cleverly by a head in :493;. Red Dick was backed down from 7 to 5 to4 to 5 in the next race, a five-furlong dash, and after leading all the way won ridden out two lengths in front of War- rago, who was away from the post poorly and made a fine run throngh the stretch. Boon Enough was a bang-up third, with 20 to 1against him in the betting, The five-furlong hendicap furnished a (1832)Schmitz, 103 (Riley)....... .2 42 4h 4n 1810 Johnny Capron, 92(Poopiesis 64 67 63 1085 Duchess of Milpitas, 95 (Chevalier)................8 8t TI 62 1307 Fin Blanghter, 98 (Wilson).7 7% 9 71 1310 Lodi, 104 (H.

INCITEMENT 1O CRIME, Warrant Out for the Arrest of Frank Johnson for This Offense. Result of Howard Hatch’s Deslre to Get Money to Go Into the Country. A warrant was sworn out in Judge Con- lan’s court yesterday for the arrest of Frank Johnson on the statutory misde- meanor of ineiting another to commit a crime, The complaining witness is H. Mouser of' 2516A Sutter street, who is connected with the New York Life Insurance Com- pany, and the person alleged to have been incited to commit a crime was his stepson, Howard Hatch. Johnson is about 19 years of ageand lives with bis parents at 1757 Ellis street. About two weeks ago the boy Hatch was standing in front of his stepfather’s house with a companion named O'Brien. He had in his hand a stringless violin belong- ing to his sister. Johnson came along and asked him what he was going to do with the violin. Hatch replied that he was going to play on it, and Johnson remarked that it would be difficult for him to play on a violin without strings. Hatch then said he wanted to sell it to get money to take himself and O’Brien into the coun- try. Johnson said it was not worth 10 cents”and he had better get something else to sell. Some days later Hatch went to Johnson and showed him some rings belonging to | his sister. Johnson told him they were not worth much and asked him if he could not get something more valuable. Hatch | said he could get a diamond ring belonging to his mother and Johnson told him it would do. 3 Last Saturday Hatch accompanied by 0’Brien took thediamond ring to Johnson. | After examining the ring Johnson gave Hatch some money and handed back the ring to him, tied up in his handkerchief, telling him to let him know where they had gone and he would send some more money. He gave Hatch asa reason for handing back the ring that he could get more money by pawning it elsewhere. Johnson also gave O’Brien a coat to wear in the country. Hatch and O'Brien went to the country, but were brought back on Tuesday. When Hatch was asked about his mother’s dia- mond ring he pulled out the handkerchief with the ringtied in it just ashe gotit from Johnson, but the diamond was miss- ing. Hatch’s stepfather came to the conclu- sion that Johnson had *‘pinched’’ the stone sort of listless favorite in that rustling youngster Charlie Boots. Shaw had the mount on him, and aiter opening at 6 to 5 there was plenty of 8 to 5 at post time, Benham was after the money yesterday, being backed down from 6 to 3. Gratify, the 2 to_1 second choice, had very easy game, Benham headed him foran eightn, when he took the lead and galloped home in 1:00%4. There was a great rush to get aboard Sport McAllister when 2 to 1 was posted against him in the oreninz betting on the fourth race, a five-furlong handicap, and the boards soon showed even money. The other entries went begging. Fly, as usual, led until well into the stretch, when the favorite passed him and won easily by a short length in 1:00'/& The Duchess of Milpitas was backed down in the betting on the last race from 3 to 2 so persistently that the race looked all over. She never got near the front, however, for Monarch, a 10 to 1 chance, got away in front, and leading all the way won in a drive by a head from Normandie, with O'Bee a close third. The five furlongs was run in 1:02}4. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY. SAN FRANGISCO, August 28, 1895. Two hundared and fifty-fourth day, August 28. Weather dull.

Diplomatic Action of Harris in Sults Against the Jockey Club. There came very near being a big row in court yesterday over the two damage suits filed by ‘“Joe’” Harris against the Cali- fornia Jockey Club. Attorney Porter Ashe, however, exercised his good offices with the hot-headed young Harris, and prevailed upon him not to say all he in- tended to Justice of the Peace Carroll. Harris was ejected from the track by the employes of President Williams after a dispute over the sale of certain pool tick- ets. Inconsequence he brought two suits for damages in the Justices’ Court against the club, each of them for $209. The cases were originally assigned to Justice of the Peace Kerrigan and then the trouble began. One day a friend met him on the street, laughed and said: “You’re a nice fellow, getting your cases in Justice Carroll’s court.” Harris bastened to court and found that somehow the cases had been transferred to another court without his receiving any notice. He at once entered a violent pro- test both with Ashe, his attorney, and with Justice of the Peace Carroll himseif. Harris_said flatly that Carroll had a pass to the Jockey Club grounds, and he didn’t want any one with a free pass given by the other side to try his case. Ashe finally prevailed on the other side to agree to a compromise. Justice Carroll was to try the first case, and the other suit was to be sent back to Justice Kerrigan for trial. Harris was satisfied for several days. Then his friends said something, and he started on the warpath for Justice Carroll again. He signed a long aftidavit, alleging that the court was ‘‘biased, prejudiced, and all that sort of thing, and demanded that the case be transferred from Justice Carroll’s courtroom to another departmént. Yesterday Ashe asked permission to withdraw the affidavit and said his client had decided todrop the case altogether. Justice Cngrol!.sweezli suggested that per- hngs Harris might like to come forward and offer some sort of an explanation, but Ashe deemed it more prudent to leave Harris where he was, in a deep niche out in utlhe c?rr;um; ?fht.betra:;l. hSo Qarroll, with a reluctant si s the suit his court ca.lendnr.g 2 from This does not mean that Harris ha dropped the suit, by any means.

It s the @ WAS SAVED. Another Proof of the Exeeptional Skill of the Specialists AT THE HUDSON INSTITUTE. L/ Doubt Gives Way to Hope, and Hope to. ¥aith, and Then Faith Is Replaced by Glorious Certainty—One of the Most Remarkable Cures on Record. HE AGE OF MIRACLE HAS NOT ALTO- gether passed, if we are to believe the statements of one of the brightest and most thoroughly straightforward of our younger men. Mr. . I. Graham is the genleman re- ferred to. He has been endowed with no small amount of perspicuity, and what he has to say is certainly worthy of attention. He had a failing which is, perhaps, as common as pos sible in this world, and that is to pay little or no attention to what he considered to be small ailments. But hehas learnt a lesson,and & severe one it has been. Being what seemed to him just a bit ‘‘under the weather” he did not consider that it was necessary for him to take any more than a passing notice of his condi- tion, until one day he awoke to find himself in avery serious way. Mr. Graham must have been born under a lucky star, for as soon &s he realized that he was in need of medical help he posted off straight to that ‘Mecca for all the sick”’—the grand old Hudson Medical In- stitute. He was none too soon, and whilst he isa well man to-day he was in the darkest depths of despair when he reached the estab- lishment. But he had a private and confiden= tial talk with one of the consulting physicians, and in the frankest way possible he was told that his case was a serious one, indeed, but yet that it was curable. Hope immediately be gan to spring up in him, and perhaps the rest of the story may be gathered as well from a letter which Mr. Graham has recently written to the managers of the famous institution. He says: DEAR Stes: Iam in receipt of your favor of the 2d inst. and I am pleased to EAF that I do not require any more medicine. Iam a new man—what I never expected to be again. I am in good health. My stomach causes me no trouble, my digestion is as regular asa clock. I can eat hearty of almost any kind of food and digest it. I gleep well, and when Ilook back at the wreck I was when I began using your medicine it looks to me more like a miracle than anything else. Gentlemen. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and will never cease to speak your praises should I ever meet & fellow-sufferer. You ean use this if you desire, and you can refer to me atany time, or any of your patients, and I will feel it a pleasure to testify to the truth of the above. Again thanking you, I re« main most sincerely, T. I. GRAHAM. This is & manly and frank letter, butitis only one of many thousands which have come to gladden the hearts of the great specialists, and to give them encouragment in their splen- did work. W. P. Dillman says: “I am well. Ithank you a thousand times for the great good you have done me. G. H. Gray: “Am very much obliged for what you have done for me, and will always speak in the highest terms of your institution.” F. F. Bartels of Oroville writes: *“I am al« together & new man to what I was when I be- gan taking your medicines.” William Glenn of Mountain Home, Idaho: “The second week has brought with it all the encouragement possible. Health and vigor have begun to show themselves.” Evidence of this sort as to the very excep~ tional success that the specialists have in treat ing the most serious cases is continually piling up; and when it is averred by thousands of reputable witnesses it may be taken for granted that if your case is curable the specialists at the Hudson Medical Institute can do more for you than any one else in the world can. All the Following Are Curable: Catarrh of the head, stomach or bladd: bronchial d'seases; all functional nervou: eases; St. Vitus’ dance: hysteria: shaking palsy; epilepsy: all venereal diseases: all kindsof blood troubles; ulcers: wastes of vital forces; rheumae tism; gout: eczema; all skin diseases, from w hat- ever cause arising: psoriasis; all blood poisonin varicocele: poison oak; lost or impaired manhoo spinal tronble; nervous exhaustion and prostra- tion; inciplent paresis; all kidney diseases; lum- bazo; scistica; all bladder troubles: dyspepsia; in- digestion; constipation; all visceral disorders, which are treated by the depurating departments.
