8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1895. THE BAY DISTRICT RACES Tim Murphy Was Himself and Lowered a Coast Sprint- ing Record. ANOTHER MARK WAS ALSO CUT. Remus Was In Fine Fettle and Ran the Mile and Seventy Yards in 1:4474. Steadfast, who started in the first race, was so full of ginger that he ran away with Wilson and the field was dispatched without him. Conde, who was nerved some weeks ago, showed no sign of lameness, but did not have his old-time speed. He might have finished closer up had not Donahue on Arno cut him off near the wire. After dismounting at the conclusion of tne first race Elmer F, the favorite who finished Inst, evidently held some grievance against Tke Johnson, the colored lad that rode him, for he endeavored to remove & portion of the wooly covering to his skull with his teeth. He drew | blood, but Ike was up in the saddle in the third Tace. Carmel was in his usual sulking mood while et the post in the last race, and President Willisms very wisely rang the bell to send the field away without him. Of course this may have caused grumbling among the horsé's backers, but there is no reasou why the chances | of five other starters should be spoiled by the actions of one stubborn brute. Just to demonstrate that he is nota been” the old war horse, Tim Mur- phy, picked np his 102 pounds in the third race yesterday, a five-and-a-hali-furlong nd, tripping over the course as asa Kkitten, clipped a quarter of a second off the cosst record for the distance | made by Geraldine several years ago, set- | ting it at 1:0614. Brutus should not be dimmed by this per- formance his little brown son Remus ran away from his field in the last race, a mile- and-seventy-yard run, with 99 pounds in the saddle, and lowered the coast record to 1:443{, the former record being 1:4514. If the record smashing that has been going on of late continues the Eastern cracks | will find some pretty hard marks to shoot at. The attendance for an off day and a very ordinary programme was good, although betting in the big ring had a tendency to sluggishness. And if the bookie did not add to his wealth the talent fared little better, for but two favorites got home in | One or two heavily played choices | that went wrong left them woefully out of | front. That the luster of imp. | pocket. In the opening race, a six-furlong selling dash, the 11 to 10 favorite, Elmer F, a late | stern importation, ran as though Cali- | nia alfalfa disagreed with his digestive | organs, for he finished last. Agitato, the | 6to5 second choice, took the race easily | from Coleman, who, while ut the post, | gave an ‘exhibition of “mulishness” that | Professor Gleason would have wept over. _ | The bookmakers thought the second | race. another six-furlong run, with light | b welter-weights up, looked bard, and they | 1aid liberal odds against any of the seven starters. At post time Conde had the call at 2} to 1, with Olivia and Normandie fancied next in the order named. Johnny Payne and Conde headed the field until well into the stretch, where they both tired, and Olivia, finishing strong, won the race by a length and a half from Arno, who downed Johnny Payne for the place. Going to the post 3 to 5, Tim Murphy led all the way 1n_the next race, and won by a length from Duchess of Towers, who ran a superb race, carrying two pounds more than the winner. Candor, formerly the Miss Clay filly, was a poor third. The mile sel dash resulted in the overthrow of the 3 to 5 favorite, Nephew. He could not run a bit for three-quarters the journey, and although the ground d appeared under his feet in the stretch in about the manner huckleberry pie does in the capacious mouth of a Southern picka- | ninny, he could not catch the 6 to 1 chance, Mamie Scott, who won by two and a half | lengths in 1:4:3;. Nellie G finished a good third at odds 0f 30 to 1. Some great guessing was indulged in over the last event on the.card at a mile and seventy yards. ttle Bob opened a 2 to 1 choice, but so much coin went in on Remus, 1g his price to 11 to 5, that Bob and F: other aronnd post time for secondschoice honors. Sloane immediately went to the front on the favorite at flag fall and Jead- ing all the way won handily by two and a | half lengths from Little Bob, with Charmer an ordinary third.

The Olympic Club is determined to be well represented this year in all branches of athletic sports, and with that object in view a meeting will be held on Friday evening at 7:30 o’clock, the object of which is the formation of a football team that will represent the club this coming winter in games played with the Stanford and University of California elevens, and per- haps the Reliance Club team of Oakland. Manager Kennedy received a letter a few days ago from the secretary of the Mult- nomah Athletic Club of Portland, Or., stating that1f the Olympic Club should send a team of football-players to Oregon it will receive a right royal welcome and be well received. When the infor- mation reached the ears of some of the old football kickers, the following well-known amateur athletes signified their intention of going immediately into training in the hope that a team can be selected from among the K‘l:\\'crs to represent the club against the Multnomah team on Thanks- giving day: H. Walilon, P. Benson, W. Smith, H. P. Taylor, P. Morse, G. E. crumpe, G. White, H. White, F. V. King- W. A. S8exton, Wand_G. Cameron, G. W. C. Foulks, E. Drumm, F. R, , Porter, Harrelson, Hilborn and s, . Foulk: Butz, Fric! Wettmyer. 1t has been common talk in the Olympic Club for some time that with all the avail- able talent at hand it has never vet placed a good football team in the field. It can be said, however, that Captain Gill will so arrange matters athletically that no fur- ther complaint will be heard, and that the Olympic Club will in _fature be well repre- sented in all outdoor lines of spor?. The outdoor grounds will be immedi- ately placed in first-class condition and athletic competitions between the Olympic, Stanford, Berkeley and Reliance athletic | elubs give promise of being very interest- ing this winter. The Australian amateur boxer who was on the slate to meet Smith of the Olympic Club at the coming boxing night was tried out last evening by McMahon, who stopped the invader in the second rovud. 'l‘be new aspirant to fistic honors on the coast pleaded poor condition. He madea very good showing up to the time he received his quietus. CRACK HORSES ENTERED The New Pacific Coast Jockey Club Assured of a Great Meeting. Someé of the Most Famous Horses In the Country to Meet Iin the Four-Mile Event. ‘When the new Pacific Coast Jockey Club throws open the gates of its magnificent new race-course at Ingleside to the public on November 1,it will commmence its career under auspices more favorable than that | of any turf venture in the history of the | anie Louise vied with each | American turf. All of the big horsi | owners of the country are entering their | racers in its many rich stakes, brihging | together the cracks of the East and West. Secretary Leale states that every incom- ing mail brings in fresh entries, a most flattering showing for the new organiza- tion. Among the entries received yester- day were those of the wealthy Chicago firm of Hankins & Johnston, including the great son of Red Iron, Diggs, and their erand handicap horse Rudolph, winner of | | the Columbus handicap during the World's | Fair meeting at Washington Park, Chi- cago. Noticeable among the entries in the two- year-old division are Sallie Clicquot, Green Morris’ crack filly, and Kamsin, Louis zell's speedy daughter' of Blazes. Ea Corrigan’s Indian named filly, Mohalasky, a stake winner at Detroit and OQuakley, is also in. Naglee Burke’s grand colt, Cres- | cendo, will of course be among the starters. Coming with the “jumpers” are such good | ones as St. Brandon, The Ironmaster, Ali Baba, Little Mid, My Luck, Caracas, | Janus and Lordlike. The Spreckels stake, { four miies, drew out a grand lot of entries, among them Despot, the Corrigan Derby candidate, Rey el Santa Anita, Vinctor, Gilead, Cadmus, Rudolph“and Bright | Pheepus. No expense will be spared as far as the | public benefit and welfare are concerned. Among the innovations will be the Australian _starting machines, a descrip- tion of which has appeared in the differ- ent turf journals. This has been used | with such marked success in the land of the southern cross that starters are now a thing of the past. Anautomaticindicator, | giving the fractional time of the distance being run, will also be placed on the timer’s stand in full view of the spectators. There are now over 300 men employed on the track, grand stand and stables, and the work is progressing rapidly. The stables are being constructed with such a view to_comfort as to immediately fallinto favor with horsemen. Tug CaLL is enabled to give an almost complete list of entries for three of the new club’s stakes—the Spreckels handi- cap, four miles, Ullman steeplechase and the Horseshow Association stakes for two- year-olds. A glance at the list will suffice to show what a rare treatis in store for | California race-goers: The Spreckels stakes—A handicap sweep- stakes for three-year-olds and upward, the | association to guarantee the value of the race, | $5000 to the first, $500 to the second, $300 0 |h0l third and $200 to the fourth horse.

Recently Made Principal of the Nor- mal School—Thirty Years a Teacher. James G. Kennedy, the well-known edu- cator who was recently chosen principal of the San Francisco Normal School, died suddenly last night. Apoplexy, with in- cidental heart disease, was the cause. He was attending a Shakespeareen read- ing given by Professor George Riddle at the Girls’ High School at the time; that is, he had just arrived with his daughter, Miss Josie, and was waiting for the reading to commence. Having taken a seat, he was spending the time chatting pleasantly and laughing when suddenly his daughter heard him rowing widow and family will feel the loss of this capable instructor. His age was 52 years. A MODERATOR CHOSEN. City Clergymen and Elders Elect the Rev. Donald M. Ross of Lebanon Church. The Presbyterian ministers of San Fran- cisco assembled last night at Lebanon Church, corner Twenty-third and Sanchez streets, the occasion being the opening ex- ercises of the fall meeting of the local pres- bytery, and the election of a new modera- tor to preside during the next six months. The early part of the meeting was de- voted to a sermon by the retiring modera- tor, the Rev. James Woodworth. A rolicall of ministers consiituting the presbytery showed the following present out of a possible twenty-eight< The Revs. W. E. Smith, Joseph E. Scott, John | Hemphill, D.5. Jumes Woodworth, James C. Smith, Donald M. Ross, D. Hanson Irwin, Fred- erick A. Doane; George D. B. Stewart. Herbert | N. Bevier, Edward J. Dupuy, A.W. Colver, F. R. Farran and Duncan Munro. Eight of the fifteen charges in the City were represented by elders as follows: First Church, Dr. De Witt; Westminster, Mr. Giddes; Trinity, H. B. Cheney; Lebanon, Ed- ward Kerr; Mizpah, H. H. McKeney; Frankli streei, A. W. Collis; St. John’s, Frank Walke: Memorial, W, L. Palmer. When nominations for moderator were declared in order the Rev. W. E. Smith introduced his candidate with the ex- JAMES G. [From a photograph.] EENNEDY. groan and in a few moments he was dead. His family physician, Dr. Charles R. Blake, and Rabbi Levy, a warm personal friend of Mr. Kehnedy's for almost thirty years, were with him at the time. Mr. Kennedy was elected principal of the Normal School by the Board of Educa- tion on July 18. For four vears previous to that time he had been principal of the Franktin Grammar School. He had just succeeded in getting his training classes organized, and most of yesterday he de- voted to exemplifying the methods of teach- ing to his pupils. He probably overworked himself, considering the unusual heat of the day. His daughter, Miss Josie, has been at- tending the Girls’ High School, and the; reading being given by Professor Riddle was one of a series for the benefit of the THE NEW FERRY DEPOT, Bids Will Be Advertised for the Structure Within Two Weeks. The Consulting Architects Wil Mest With the Commissioners This Morning. The Harbor Commissioners will meet this morning at 10 o’clock, when it is ex- pected that definite action will be taken in regard to building the much-talked-of ferry depot. A.Page Brown will meet with them, and also Consulting Architects Percy and Hamilton, who were called in by Mr. Colnon to make certain modifica- tions in the plans and specifications. “I can safely say that the Commission- ers will advertise for bids on the ferry de- pot building within the next two weeks,” said Mr. Colnan last night. “In fact, if the meeting to-morrow restlts as I think it will the legal advertising will commence next week. *‘There has been considerable comment in certain quarters about delay and all that sort of thing, but in a building costing $600.000 and requiring two years to com- plete the aiuesnon of a_few days or weeks cuts very little igure. Under the old con- tract the architect was given unlimited discretion and power, but all this is now vested in the commissioners. The specifi- cations have been overhauled and stripped of all ambiguous language, so there is no possible chance for contractors to- make any changes or substitutions whereby a h_a;v thousands could be made on the out- side. “The consulting architects, Percy and Hamilton, will sign the plans and specifi- cations as coffrected by them, which will, of course, eliminate all chance of future denial as to whether certain recommenda- tions were made or not. While the Com- missioners have not accepted as final the work of these gentlemen, there is prac- tically no doubt as to their acceptance, probably to-morrow—certainly not later than the end of the present week. “It has been stated that there was little or no difference between the old and new contract with the architect. This I wish to emphatically deny. The two documents are in the office of the Commissiopers, sub- ject to the inspection of every one. The architect is powerless to make any changes in the plans or specitications without the full consent of the Harbor Commissioners.” ——————— Smoking on the Bicycle. The cycling editor of Le Monde Illustre (Paris) makes a few periinent observations in the current issue regarding the use of tobacco while riding. He says: “Should one smoke while cycling? Our cycling contemporary, Le Velo, thus replies to this question: ‘Undoubt- Greenback, dam Priscilla. The " Ullman Steeplechase— A dica !‘eeglechlse for the three-year-olds and up- ward.

The stronger the tobacco the more is it injurious, for the reason that nicotine, the active basis of tobaceo, is one of the greatest known agents for retarding the action of the heart. In the exercise of c{clinl the heart is worked up to a high pitch of action, especially in rapid riding. In cousequence, anything which tends to act as a restrainer cannot but be injurious. On the other hand, also, to- bacco is found to render the nerves torpid. “‘These reasons should suffice to convince cyclists that the use of tobacco while on the wheel is injurious. Of course, & light p:re or cigarette on dismounting is comparatively harmless. Note, all ye cyclistsl’” library fund. Mr. Kennedy was fond of Shakespeare, and was easily induced under the circumstances by kis daughter to go last night. He comnvlained of feeling slightly unwell when the car reached Six- teenth street, but paid no attention to his indisposition just then, supposing it would pass away as similar spells had in the past. Two vears ago he had a collapse, and last Thursday he was quite sick for a time. A brother of Mr. Kennedv died in much the same way two years ago. For thirty years Mr. Kennedy had been a teacher, and yet he had no schooling to speak of until he was 21 years of age. Iili- nois was his native State, and when he was 12 years old he came across the plains with his parents, James and Helen Ken- nedy. The family—he was one of the younger children—settled in Monterey County. For some time he remained with his father engaged in the dull routine of ranch life, but at the age of 17 years he went to Marysville and tried his luek at the mines. At 21 years he made up his mind to obtain an education and_ went through a normal school course. He be- came a teacher in San Jose, and twenty vears ago, while principal of the Reed- street School there, he was elected County Superintendent of Schools of Santa Clara County. It was at the beginning of his term as County Superintendent that he married Miss Josephine Hinkelkein, daughter of Adam Hinkelbein, and from that time to his death Mrs. Kennedy was always asso- ciated with him in school work. Mr. Ken- neay was the apostle, it might be said, of the system of technical or industrial train- ing in this City, and it was due to his efforts in this direction that industrial ed- cation became the vogue here. ‘While he was principal of the Franklin Grammar School Mrs. Keanedy was teacher of sewing and cooking there. Six children were born of this happy union, one, a_daughter, Miss Julia, having just taken her first school as a teacher in Santa Clara County. After Mr. Kennedy filled the position of County Superintendent at San Jose for two years he became successively a grammar- school principal and principal of the high school of that city. }‘iuallfiy he was chosen City Superintendent of Schools there, and remained in that capacity for some years. He came to San Francisco about ten years ago. For a few months he was con- nected first with the Hamilton Evening School and later the Commercial School, and he soon manifested his superior ability as an educator. It was only six months after his arrival here that he be- came principal of the South San Francisco School. That position he filled tor one ggu and then he was Inspector.of Public hools for two years. ¥ The Cogswell Polytechnic College was organized by Mr. Kennedy, who planned it throughout and formulated its system of studies after a trip East for that pur- se. He was ptincipal of the institution for four years. Lately Mr. Kennedy had made psy- chology a special study, and he was in- tending to spend next year's vacation with 't;ne noted vpsychologist Professor Sculp- ure. A host of friends in addition to bis sor- ROYAR Baking Powder Absolutely Pare planation that, inasmuch as the outgoing moderator isadvanced in years, it would be well to elect a young man as his successor, and he named the Rev. D. Hanson Irwin. But the election was not to go uncontested, as has been the custom for several years. The Rev. J. C. Smith, after a most flatter- ing tribute to :he merits of the Rev. John M. Ross, named him as a candidate. Mr. Ross was elected. » The reviring moderator welcomed the new incumbent to the chair. It seems that twins arrived in the Ross family only a little over a week ago. The Rev. Herbert N. Bevier was elected temporary clerk without opposition. To-day the presbytery will hold a busi- ness session, beginning at half-past 9 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Woodworth’s sermon was an explanation of the meaning of ‘“Holy | Spirit” and an assertion that every child of God has it. The word ‘‘ghost,” he | said, was simply the oid English for | “spirit.”” He explamed that the definite | article used before ‘‘spirit,” or ‘‘Holy One,” indicates empbatically a distinct personality, while those words, when used without the article, mean simply character or influences. In this latter sense, synono- mous with gentleness and amiability, the speaker said that every Christian should be filled with holy spirit, which can only be obtained by a fuller reception of the S)erscnal Holy Spirit, which is_the Lord esus Christ. g “I believe,” said Mr. Woodworth, “‘that ‘the Holy Spirit’ would in the flesh look like jesus of Nazareth, for I believe they are one.” ————— WAS NOT HIS LOT. A Dressmaker Wants a Real Estate Agent Arrested. Margaret Madden, a dressmaker on Van Ness avenue, applied for a warrant yester- day in Judge Joachimsen’s court for the arrest of John T. Harris, real estate agent, 628 Market street, on the charge of obtain- ing money by false pretenses. She stated that she purchased a lot on Thirty-second avenue and J strezt for $350, from Harris, in July, 1891. She Eaid $50 down and has paid $10 per month since, till all the purchase price was accounted for except §11. Harris at the time of the purchase gave her a bond for a deed to the lot. She applied to Harris for the deed, but he put Eer off, and on investigating she found that Harris had no interest whatever in the lot. The Judge had left the court when she made her appearance, but Prosecnting At- torney Dare asked her to be there this morning and the warrant would beissued. D ——— More Charges Against Niberall. Alired Niberall had another charge of burg- lary entered against him at the City Prison yes- terday. The gold iatch and chain found in his pocket on Saturday when arrested were identified by Mrs. Mamie Rigdon, 405 Geary street.

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND IS THE GREAT SPECIFIC. It Restores the Neglected, Famished Nerve Parts. It Replaces Worn-Out Tissues With New, Vigorous Ones. Paine’s celery compound is the one as- sured remedy for rheumatism and neural- gia that is every day accomplishing all that physicians claim for it! Both these old-time obstinate diseases are to-day speedily and permanently cured by Professor Edward E. Phelps’ great pre- scription. Neuralgia and rheumatism are merely names for a certain reduced state of the nervous tissues. As far as causes go they do not much differ from nervous de- bility, headaches, dyspepsia and sleep- lessness. The mischief is the same in every case, a nervous system robbed of life and sub- stance by over exertion and scanty nutri- tion. The cure for all these is likewise in the same direction. Strengthen and re- store the nerves to their normal gondition with Paine’s celery compound. It is the advice of the ablest physicians everywhere. As soon as all the countless nerve cen- ters and fibers have been made sound and strong not only rheumatism and neural- gia, but low spirits, kidney trouble, dis- ordered liver and heart palpitation vanish without a trace to remind one that their presence was not all a fearful dream. Paine’s celery compound does its cura- tive work in a simple, straightforward way. It wasgteslittle time on the minute and puzzling classification of diseases, but bends all its energies at once to feeding the worn-out, shattered nervous track, filling the arteries with rich, new blood, and building up the body for its fight against disease. Low spirits lose their- power when the system feeis the buoyancy of returning health, such as soon comes from taking Paine’s celery compound. The rapid gain in weight that follows its use is a reason- able indication of the strengthening pro- cesses that are going on among the vital organs. Many men and women who recommend Paine’s celery compound do so in what, to others, may sometimes seem extravagant words. But Paine’s celery compound has made them well!
