THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1895 5 SACRAMENTD RACES, Sons of Brutus Victors in Three Stake Events. CROWNED KING OF SIRES The Del Mar Mile Gallop Cap- tured by Vinctor in 1:40 Flat. LOWERED A COAST RECORD. Installator Covered a Mile and a Furlong in 1:53!{—Instigator’s Easy Conquest. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Sept. 7.—The rac- ing at the park to-day could truly be styled the “sport of Kings.” It was Del Mar day, and over 5000 people assembled to see the equine giants do battle. The book- makers were besieged with coin, and they enjoyed a most profitable day, for favorites were swept aw: s chaff before the wind. But withal, it was beyond doubt the great- ’s racing Californians have ever €st witnessed, if record smashing and hair- standing fi to make good racing. To-r itus, the Elmwood stock sire, occupies the golden thron ned king. His sons nors to-day, and the her with the big son rrier, were obliged to lower rs to his son, Vinctor, in the Del nd the mark he set for the hids fair to stand for manya y. Del Mar's time, 1:4134, has stood till to-day since 1891, and by lowering it Vinctor earned an additional $200, as well as the honor of having the stake named after him. In tbe Native Sons’ handicap, Instal- lator, carrying 108 pounds, lowered the coast record for a mile a furlong a half sec- ond, setting the mark at 1:53{, and in the California annual stake Insticator, another son of Brutus, carried off the honors in hollow fashion. For a stable to win three stake races in one day, all three winners the get of one sire, is unprecedented in California turf history, and stamps imp. Brutus as the coming sire of the country. The day’s sport opened with a six-fur- long selling dash, baving five starters. Mary S reigned as even-money favorite around post time, with Pat Murphy a hot 7 to 5 second choice. Pat set” a merry old clip all the way, until about a furlong from home, when he collapsed, and Mary S ap- peared to have the purse annexed; but Sloane came up on the outside with 7 to 1 chance Inkerman, and won by a length. ry S beat the Murphy horse a head for platz.” The Native Sons’ handicap, a sweepstake, to which Bookmaker George Ross added 500, making the value of the stake $745, me next, and seven good ones faced the Gilead, with Miller up, had first call in the betting at 6 to 5, and McLight and Installator came in for strong support. All f the other starters received more or less backing. Therace needs but little descrip- ion, for there was nothing in it but In- stallator. ing the stand, he was leading the bunch; on turning down the back stretch he gave way to McLight, but in turn passed the hooded horse on turning the bend for home and was never headed, | winning by a length from McLight, who ran a superb race, in the remarkably fast time of 1:531{. Del Norte, badly treated by the handicapper, made a noble effort, finishing a good third. Gilead, who had been making all sorts of fast time in work- outs, ran like a Guttenburg “lobster,” fin- ishing next to last. He went back in the betting, the Sacramento contingent fight- ing shy of him. The betting on the Del Mar stake, worth $850 to the winner, was of the liveliest pos- sible description. Libertine opened at 4 to 5and Ferrier 8 to 5. At post time the gen- eral quotation was 7 to 5 and your choice. Sixes could be had on Victor and 4 tolon Wheel of Fortune. With slight delay Havey sent them away in good order, the Wheel next the rail. At the first turn Havey’s mare was cut off and Libertine took the lead followed by Vinctor and Ferrier. This order remained unchanged to the stretch for home, where Libertine was leading Vinctor by a half length, with Ferrier about three lengths away. All now sat down to ride, with whip and spur. Libertine soon had enough and fell back beaten. Miller on Ferrier drew away and took the rail, and possibly this beat him, for Sloan on Vinctor hugged him closely, and in the hardest kind of a arive Vinctor won by a head, with Libertine three lengths away. The betting on the California annual stake with but three starters was not with- out some peculiar phases. Lucille, with Piggott in the saddle, opened a 3 to 5 fa- vorite, while 7 to 5 was laid against Insti- gator, on which Coffey had the mount. Suddenly there was a plunge of wise money on the Boots entrv, cutting his price to 7 to 10. It was then given out that Miller was to replace Coffey. It was but a gallop for him. Mitler allowed Lucille, who receded in the betting to 7 to 5 and Sam Leake to make the running to the stretch, where he gave Investigator his head and romped in. In a hard drive Lucille was beaten a long neck by the outsider. In the betting on the final race, a six furlong selling scramble with nine start- ers, the bookies intended to keep what they had raked in, and, judging by the odds posted, there was little danger of a “dutch.” Outside of a couple of starters it was 3 to 1and take your pick. Tim Murphy, Road Runner, Nebuchad- nezzar, Rear Guard and Rico carried the bulk of the money bet. There was consid- erable delay at the post before Havey finally sent them away well bunched. The race simmered down to a sprint be- tween Nebuchadnezzar, Roadrunner and Bernardo, Hinrichs on the latter getting the verdict by the narrowest of margins, and Nebuchadnezzar just beating Road- runner for the place. The winner madea remarkably fine run, getting away abso- lutely last. elling: purse $400. Inkerman, a., 101, by Ironclad- Six furlongs: Owen Bros.’ b. Alice (Sloane).. 3. 1t.

SACRAMENTO, CarL., Sept. 7.—The fourth day of the State sportsmen’s shoot drew lots of new talent to the front and scores were decidedly on the mend. A missed bird meant all chances gone, and in the majority of cases a draw on the part of the unlucky shot. The day was all that could be desired and the birds left the trap like a flash and with such speed that often when dead they dropped outside the flag. The first event of the day was a ten-bird match. It secured twenty-two entries at 85 with an addition of $50 more. No less than six men dropped all their birds and agreed to divide the stakes. The second event was a twenty-five-bird go, with twenty-one entries at $10, with $100 added. Fendner and Chick were the lucky ones and killed the entire string. They divided first money and Robinson, Helms ana Burnett took seconq between them for disposing of twenty-four birds each. The third event was at twelve birds, $7 50 entrance, $75 added. Eight men tied on full scores and divided. The fourth event was a 10-bird match, entrance $5, $25 added. Four men made the clean-up, as was the case in the extra event. To-morrow will be devoted to bluerocks to enable the onlookers to have a chance. Although there are a large number of marksmen present the straight score busi- ness has stopped them from entering with “crackerjacks.” Birds are going rapidly and, it is feared, will run short before the carded evenis are finished. Over 260 dozen have already been made ready for the retail market, and there are but few remaining. FIRST EVENT—T) P ercR g 3 Shields.. Robinson Nicholaus.

WORK OF EMINENT ARTISTS. Magnificent Interlor Finlishings of the Beautiful East Oakland Mansion. The residence of F. M. Smith, situated on East Twenty-fourth street,at the head of Eighth avenue in East Oakland,is designed in free renaissance, a stvle which gives great freedom in design and permits a free and natural treatment of the various re- quirements of the building—the arrange- ment of the rooms for comfort and con- venience, for view, sun, etc. The plan of the house is irregular in shape, the front being 114 feet wide and the extreme depth 136 feet. The house is three stories in height and being built on a sidenill por- tions of the basement are entirely above the ground. The entire basementand por- dining-room, second story main hall and bedrooms in second story all have inlaid floors, the finest that can be purchased. The inlaid floor work was done by Kenney & Wells, 422 Sutter street. The house is so arranged that if either Mr. ana Mrs. Smith desire, they can give a charity entertainment in the social hall or ballroom in second story without disturb- ing any one in the main portion of the house, This is accomplished by entering the rear vestibule and passing up the rear main staircase to the hallroom floor. These halls and staircases are arranged in such a manuer that the public can come and go withont disturbing any one in the balance of the house. In fact, a reception could be given 1n the main house, a public entertainment in ballroom and a card party in the second story, all at the same time, without the guests coming in con- tact with each other. The third story has across the front of the building five bedrooms, and a ball- room forty feet square. Off the ballroom is a stage and two_dressing-rooms, the stage being prepared to receive scenery and all the appliances that go to make up stage settings for producing plays. The ceiling of the ballroom is shaped to_ repre- sent an umbrélla, The woodwork in this room is finished in ivory and white. The floor is polished oak. Across the rear hall you pass into the breakfast-room, which extends the whole width of the house, giving one a fine view of the Golden Gate on the one end, and of the hills and the rising sun on the other. This room is also finished in oak with heavy panelsand wainscotings, and oak floor. 'Itissaid that more inlaid floors have been laid in the South principality than in any other residence West of Chicago. This not only falls in line with : l|'*|5))$'yl Bt 7T ; My 2. " o e d]l“,u i RESIDENCE OF F. M. SMITH, OAKLAND, CAL, [From a drawing by Walter J. Matthews, architect.] tions of the second story, main porch and porte-cochere are built of stone. Other portions of the exterior are wood, shingle sides, wood cornices, belt courses, etc., which are finished in natural wood. The flat surfaces of gables are finished with copper, rivets being used to fasten to walls, geometrical in design. In passing around the house among the many features to be observed are the con- seryatory, which is designed in such a manner as to give an unobstructed view of the house; large circular bays; front porch, with its massive stone pillars and marble steps some sixteen feet across; the unique private circular staircase leading from the garden to the breakfast-room in the third story; the drive porch, which is situated in a re-entering angle of the building, and, grouped with the main staircase, circular tower, the grand flight of steps leading from the porte-cochere, with its circular terrace, forms one of the most picturesque combinations in the architecture of the building, and which, with the broad and sweeping carriage- drive, with its terraced wnl?s, alustrades and the broad sweep of the lawn as it falls away in the distance, forms a picture that reminds one of the great manor-houses in England. he main entrance to the house faces the south. You pass up the marble steps, un- der the front porch with its marble mosaic floor, its mahogany-lined walls, through the enormous double plate-glass doors into the main vestibule of the house, which is some ten feet square, wainscoted from floor to ceiling with burl mahogany, dome ceiling handsomely frescoed, floors beauti- fully inlaid with special designs in oak, mahogany, rosewood, ebony and ama- ranth. From this vestibule you pass into the main hall, octagonal in shape, thirty-six feet across, extending through to the sec- ond story, with wide galleries running around on the second floor. The side walls of this room are wainscoted with oak. The ceiling is heavily beamed. The floors have a border thirty-six inches wide of solid mahogany background with a design of oak leaves and branches interwoven. The field is a geometrical pattern in light and dark oak. From this hall you enter first the drawing-room, a room 20x40 feet, finished in mahogany; the reception-room, 15x19 feet, finished in birdseye maple; the library, -20x30 feet, finished in Sandwich Island koa wood; the dining-room, finished in oak; the conservatory, octagonal in shape, 36 feet across; the billiard-room, 18x32 feet, finished 'in red- wood. The libraryis finished entirely in wood, having paneled walls, paneled ceilings, bookracks, seats and mantels all being a part of the interior finish of the room. One side of the library is entirely plateglass, which gives a free and un- obstructed view of the conservatory. The dining-room—a room designed in Louis XVI style, with side walls paneled to a height of eight feet—has the ceiling divided off with heavy beams, and one entire side of this room is fitted with plateglass in bronze frames, so constructed that the glass in.the frames can be taken out and the dining-room used in connec- tion with the conservatory. Going back to the hall, you pass up some six steps fifteen feet in width to the first platform of the main staircase. Off this platiorm you enter the billiard-room,which 18 finished with curly redwood wainscot- inss—great broad panels filled in with burl redwood. A portion of the billiard-room is divided off and raised one step, having a circular arch dividing this portion of the billiard-room. The ceiling is massively beamed. In the woodwork of this room the same motive is carried out in the de- sign that one sees throughout the house, large panels being used in wainxcotinis, which give large and broad surfaces for the display of the grain of the wood. The bor- der of the inlaid floor isin the design of a lotus flower in oak, mahogany. rosewood and walnut, with an ornamental oak and mahogany field. 3 Returning to the main hall one passes up the irand‘ staircase, some eight feet in width, landing on a platform in a large circular tower. Thence passing up to the second floor one enters again the main hall, some thirty-six feet across, from which the several bedrooms of the second story are entered. The floors of this hall are the same as the lower, except the woods are reversed. One also enters from this hall a sitting-room, some 20x24 feet, and a music-room, 18x25 feet. On this floor, in the main portion of the house, there are five family bedrooms, the wood finish in some being mahogany, in others birdseye maple, redwood and primavera. Between the bedrooms are large dressing-rooms, bathrooms, etc. The main bathroom has tiled walls, tiled floor, and is fitted up with porcelain tubs, heaters, showers and all modern conveniences. Passing from the main hall the peculiar arrangement of the bedrooms is such that you can pass from one room to the other around the entire octagonal hall without entering it, while iul:;n room has a separate entrance to this all, Passing from the main hall to the rear hall, crossing the rear hall. you enter the rear portion of the building, which is divided up into servants’ rooms, five in number.

The last few years have witnessed a wonderful change of sentiment in favor of hardwood floors. This is the result of long experience and careful study of healthful conditions of home life. The construction of the surrounding g‘rounds was the work of thirteen years. rom the broad balconies of the residence one sees fields and hills as far as the eye can reach, while near at hand are rustic bridges, water gardens, and eglantine hedges, a worthy setting of the handsomest tnd x:mst complete house on the Pacific Joast. RATES LARGELY ILLEGAL An Important Opinion Ren- dered by the Attorney- General. Long and Short Haul Clause of the * Constitution Officlally Interpreted. A question of vital interest to the mer- chants and manufacturers of this City and the people at large in the State of California was before the Railroad Com- mission yesterday incidental to the inves- tigation that had been going on into the affairs ofjthe Southern Pacific Company. In the course of the examination and comparison of freight rates on the coast division line, which runs to and some dis- tance south of San Luis Obispo from this City, it was discovered that a less rate was charged from San Francisco to points be- yond San Luis Obispo than was charged to San Luis Obispo and points this side of it. The rate to San Luis Obispo is $3 per ton and to points on the road beyond but $2 25. Commissioner La Rue at the time called the attention of Attorney Martin to the facts, but the latter held that this was due to water competition to San Luis Obispo and was not in contravention of the State constitutional provision on the subject of railroad discrimination. But Commis- sioner La Rue was not satisfied in mind and referred the matter to Attorney-Gen- eral Fitzgerald, whose opinion was received yesterday and read before the commission. The opinion is quite a lengthy and an able one. In the course of it the Attorney- General says: In reply to your question, Can a railroad company upon a line of road withid this State lawiully charge a lower rate for transporting the same class of freight from a given point 1o a certoin destination than from an- other and nearer point on the same line to the same destination, and can it justify the lower rate for the more distant point on the ground, that atsaid point it comes into con- tact with a competing steamship line and is thereby forced to the lower rate to secure the traflic, I desire to state that Section 21 of Ar- ticle XTI of the constitution, provides that: “N@discrimination in charges or facilities for transportaion shall be made by any rail- road or other transportation company be tween Dlaces or persons, Or in the facilities for the transportation of the same classes of freight or passengers within this State, or coming from or going to any other State.” The language is plain and emphatic. It positively prohibits all diserimination in charges of facilities between places or persons. There are no limitations, or conditions, or _qualifications. If, therefore, it is es- tablished that a railroad or other transportation com%seny does discriminate in charges or facilities between places or persons, the law is violated without regard to any rea- son or excuse which the railroad or transporta- tion company may offer for such discrimina- tion. . After discussing common and statute laws and decisions bearing on the ques- tion the Attorney-General says: I am, therefore, of the opinion that rates of the character mentioned by you would be a “aiscrimination in charges” between the two laces affected by such rates and would, there- Jore, come within the inhibition of séction 21, Article XII of the Constitution, and that a competing line at the more distant point would not justify such discrimination. In reply to questions, General Freight Agent Smurr said yesterday at the meet- ing that if the law was enforced, according to the opinion ot Attorney-General Fitz- erald, the company would have to aban- gon a large portion of its business to points where competition with water-carriers is met. “A most important result,” said Mr. Smurr, *would be the fact that it would take away from us the ability to tranship back from San Francisco to interior points at the present rates, and this would prob- ably interfere with the present business re- lations between the San Francisco whole- salers and the interior merchants. The latter would be more likely than herew{ore to go East for their supplies. “It wonld mean that the railroad would have to go out of competitive business, as far as water carriers are conce , or take such ’share asis not so actively competi- tive. Just what action the Railroad Commis- sion will take in the matter its members have not yet determined. CIRCUS AT CENTRAL PARK, The Great Wallace Combina- tion Opens a Nine Days’ Engagement. A Long List of Star Attractlons Presented to an Immense Audience. The Wallace circus and menagerie came to town yesterday, and last evening opened a nine days’ engagementat Central Park. The usual street parade was held during the afternoon, and presented a dis- play of unusual size and interest. The attractions when in line formed a procession over a mile in length, and with three bands marched over the usual circus Toute. It is a well fed, and a well paid show. Everythingis clean, and new, and up to date. Fully 4000 people attended the initial performance, which went off like clock- work. There were no tiresome in{ermissions. The action is rapid—perhaps a little too rapid, for there is an immense list of star attractions crowded into a two hours’ per- formance. Of clowns there are plenty, and to spare—six of them—but they do a great deal of acting and little talking. The long- drawn dialogue with its time-worn culmi- nation—the stereotyped circus fun has been eliminated, and these grotesque and gaudily bedecked people fill in the rapid ring changes witge queer antics, to the great delight of the young ones. The living picture exhibition, illustrat- ing incidents of the war, follows immedi- ately upon the grand spectacular tourna- ment, and then, after some bareback rid- ing bK Blanche Reed and Lottie Hughes, the show commences in earnest in three rings. There is fancy roller skating by the Powers family, hand balancing and Jap- anese posturing, juggling. barrel kicking, slack wire walking. rope sliding and ladder perching, block tricks, feats of contortion and a female Sandow. The bareback rid- ing by a trained dog and bear was espe- cially good. Then there was work on the trapeze by Mile Le Gazand Alfred La More, hurricane hurdle and bounding jockey riding by Reno McCue and Sallie Hughes. Della Werntz and Jack Meade have a slugging match, in which the lady unishes her opponent severely, and finally knocks him out. The Fisher Brothers do some excellent work on the flying trapeze, concluding with the double-flying somersault,and there is club- swinging, bicycle tricks, flying perches, etc. The royal hippodrome concludes the en- tertainment, and is well worth waiting for. There is a gentlemen’s flat race, clown sulky race, ladies’ flat race, pony against horse, mile flat race by clowns, man against horse, Roman hurdle, four-pony chariot race, two-horse Roman chariot race, and a Roman chariot race with four horses.
