He was evidently awaiting his ar- rest, but it was not made. It is under- stood to be the programme to ar- rest Jorbett upon the charge of a threatened breach of the peace and require a peace bond. The bond will be refused and the case will come up before Chancellor athermore, and a writ of habeas corpus will be applied for to make a test to determine whether the court’s de- cision or the dictum of the Governor is G supreme.

LITTLE ROCK, ARk., Oct. 1 eneral Taylor of the Arkansas State Guard was in close consultation this morning with Governor Clark and several other gentle- men relative to the proposed prize-fight at Hot Springs. The judgment of the con- ference was, in effect, that the meeting cannot take place in Arkansas, whether it be with or without gloves. if the laws of 1891 or 1893 are inoperative the old law of 1838 gives the Governor al- most unlimited power and under that the entire State Guard may be called out to suppress any assemblage that has the sem- blance of a riot. There will be no tempor- izing. The Governor proposes to act de- cisively in the matter, and says he has heard enough about his not having power to prevent the rowdies from taking posses- on of the State.

In the meantime Fitzsimmons will continue his training. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. I5.—That the Iron Mountain Railway officials feel sure that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will take place at Hot Springs is evident from the conference cof passengeragentsat the head- quarters of the company yesterday and to- s Oct-15.—Fitz- day. Nearly every passenger representa- tive of the I Mountain read 1n the prin- cipal cities between New York and Denver is present at the conference, which is presided over by General Passenger Agent Townsend. The number of people who will attend the fight, as estimated by the outside agents, is 30,000, and it is probable that that number will be increased when the public is satisfied that the fight will surely take place. The Iron Mountain road is peculiarly adapted to carry nassen- gers to Hot Springs, as it controls and operates all railroad gateways to Arkansas and has ample tr ortation facilities. EL PASO, Tex., Oct. 15.—A conces- sion has been granted by the Governor of Chihuahua vermitting the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight to take place in Juarez, j river from this place. Prominent citizens met and organized to- night and an executive committee was appointed to sign contracts SR e R ON THE EASTERN TRACKS. Baron Dillon Defeated the Swift B B P in the Representative Stallion Stakes at Lexington. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 15—Only two events reached a conclusion this afternoon and in neither case did the first choice win. The Wiscons: allion B B P ruled as first choice in the $5000 stallion repre- sentative stake, and on form he should have won, but Baron Dillon is ahard horse to beat. Gerrity did not handle the alpha- stal ust to suit the crowd, and aused the jud t that something was wrong h heat Billy Andrews took the rib- bons by request and could not have lost had B B P remained on a trot, as he was making a gradual but cerrain gain near the seventh furlong, but shifted to a pace and then a br and Dillon won a bril- liant victory in s, with former wins, stamps him as one of the most re- liable racehorses of 1895. Two of the prime choices in the 2:16 trot, Lyric and Roetta Soap, won a heat each, while Sunland Clay, a well regarded horse, was never in the hunt. To-mor- row’s prime event will be the free-for-all pace, in which Robert J. John R. Gentry, Joe Patchen and Frank an will meet. Stallion representative £5000.

Two Favorites and an Outsider Won First Prizes. SANTA ANA, Car., Oct.15.—The first day’s races of the Orange County Fair Association drew about 3000 spectators, A light rain fell during the forenoon and the weather looked threatening. This no doubt deterred many from attending. The sky cieared about noon, and with the exception of a stiff coast breeze the after- noon was pertect. The track was in fine condition, but the wind made it a trifle slow. Three-quarter-mile dash. purse £300—Pools sold Mestesas 10, Polaska 8, field 7. Linville won, Mestesas second, La France third.

THE DAY DISTRICT RACES. Cardwell First in a Hard Drive, Through Flynn’s Good Riding. FANNIE LOUISE GALLOPED IN. Beliringer Encountered a Poor Lot in the Hurdle Race and Won Hands Down. Nine bookmakers weighed in yesterday. Charlie Boots, the favorite for the third race, was cut down by Marjorie, on which Sloane attempted to get through next the railas the horse turned 1nto the stretch. The Ingleside stable’s Marionette was out for a big chunk of the money yesterday after her long rest. Knowing ones backed her down in the betting from 15 108 to 1. She showeda greatdeal of speed in the race, and barring the rather poor start she got would have been very close to the long end of the purse. The well-known horseman Stoney Clarke is in receipt of a letter from Barney Schreiber, in which the genial German bookmaker and owner states that he has in Don Carillo the best two-year-old in the West over a distance of ground. e won a stake race recently over amileon a heavy track in 1:46 with 112 pounds in the saddle. Charley Hughes, who trains the horses of the wealthy Chicago Board of Trade man, Charles Smith, offered Barney #7500 for the colt, which offer was refused. Montallade, who started in the first race, is one of the best two-year-olds uncovered at the track in some time. A handsome bay, he pos- sesses a world of speed, and with any kind of a ride should have won the race by a city block. The bookmakers were very chary about the odds they had against him. Atone time 30 to 1 was chalked opposite his name, but no coin was taken at that figure. He went down in the betting to 6 to 1, finally closing around post time at 15. The youngster is & half brother to the speedy Fly, aud rumor has it that he has shown to be very fast in his private trials. The light fall of rain left the track soft and velvety and no dcubt was gladly wel- comed by the horses of the cripple di- vision. The course has been rather hard of Jate and many of the horses have been puiling up in their work with sore shoul- ders and suspicious legs. The usual crowd was in attendance to witness the racing, which was in the main good. One or two uncorkings took place, but the favorites managed to_hold their own, three out of the five choices finishing in front. The Little Flush filly was chosen to carry the coin for the opening event, a ivefurlong dash for maiden two-year- olds, going to the post 7to 5. She man- aged to win by a length from the weakly ridden Montallade, with nothing to spare, in1l 1mp. Endymion, a 12 to 1 chance, was a close third. Three Forks proved a bad pick in the | next race at five and a haif furlongs, with maiden jockeys in the saddle. He was made an even money favorite, but was beaten easily by Ricardo at 314 to 1 in the betting, who took the lead ‘entering the stretch and won by two open lengths. Perhaps, well backed at threes in the ring, finished third, four lengths back of the favorite. The 2 to 1 fayorite Charlie Boots was beaten in the third race, a five-furlong spin for members of the two-vear-old division, through Fiynn’s suverior riding of Card- well, the second choice. This was the liveliest betting affair of the day, Monitor, Marionette and the two first mentioned youngsters coming in for heavy support. Flynn hustled the second choice off in the front when Ferguson sent them away, followed by the favorite, the two striking the stretch for home heads apart, with Marjorie and Monitorin close attend- ance. Squared away for the wire, Card well gamely contested every foot of ground, and in a close and excifing drive won by a head. Chevalieron Monitor was unable to find the shortest way around the track, and although he came very fast at the end was beaten a nose for the place by the favorite. Captain Rees and Arno scratched out of the fourth race, a seven and a half furlong run, having but three starters—Fannie Louise, Nephew and Sir Richard. The mare was made a 7 to 10 favorite on the betting, and the race proved a mere cake- walk for her. Jumping to the front when the flag fell, she led all the way, winning in a common canter_in 1:353%. Nephew passed Sir Richard in the stretch, taking second place. Picking up 160 pounds in the mile and a quarter hurdle race, Bellringer, the 7 to 5 favorite, let Gold Dust ana Arctic chase off out in front until they struck the stretch the second time, when he passed them and won, eased up, by three lengths. Stanford landed Gold Dust in second place about the same distance ahead of Arctic. rst day, Tuesday, October 15, Weather ; ood. 102, EL RACE—Five furlongs; selling; Z. maidens; two-year olds; purse $250.

An Electric-Car Runs Down a Beer Wagon on Kearny Street. During the noon hour yesterday a Kearny-street electric-car, No. 1110, ran into a ‘‘double-decked” bottled-beer wagon of the National Brewing Company at the intersection of Montgomery avenue. The wagon was upset, the driver, T. Wagner, thrown out, and the bottles of beer scat- tered on the street. 7 The driver received a slight scalp wound, although people expected to see him killed. He had been pretty well mixed up with the overturned wagon and the horses’ feet. Patrick Welch is the regular motorman of car 1110, but yesterday a substitute was manipulating the electricity. From Police Officer Norman’s account the car was not coming down the grade from Broadway at more than usuzal speed, but the driver of the beer wagon had attempted to cross the street in front of the approaching car, and owing to the track having been made slippery by the weatier the motorman and con- ductor were noi able to stop the car in time. Mrs. Emma Butler of 801 Vallejo street was_ seriously injured Monday evening at Stockton and Vallejo streets by bein; thrown off car 1108. She had just boarde the front part of tbe car, and it started up without giving her time to get into a safe position.. Dr. Stice attended her. She was badly shocked and sustained internal injuries. races in 15! to be sold at pounds allow IN THE OLYMPIC RING, TheSixSpecial BoxingMatches Call Out a Houseful of Members. Much Dissatisfaction Shown Over Some of the Judges’ De- cisions. L. E. Hagan of the Olympic Club was referee, and Charles Cerini of the Reliance | and George H. Maxwell of the Olympic | were judges. The timekeepers were Charles F. Morel of the Olympic and Charles Reno of the San Francisco clubs. The first event was between F. Thur- man and J. Dodd, two 115-pounders from the Olympic Club. F. H. Smith was to bave entered the ring with Dodd, but as he was taken sick Thurman took his place at short notice. Thurman was the taller of the two and had a better reach. The men lasted well -during the rounds and made the last one somewhat lively. The fight was given to Dodd by the referce. After one judge had cast bis de- | cision for Tood and the other for Thur- man the result as declared did not meet much favor from the club, and_hisses were mingled with the applause which followed its announcement. The second bout was between Frank Raphael of the San Francisco Athletic Club and R. Cuneo of the Olympic. The bout started like a whirlwind, neither man displaying the least bit of science, and each anxious only to strike without regard to guard. Raphael wasasmug-faced young- ster, with absolutely no science, and only a strong swing, which Cuneodid notseem able to stop, as his excuse for being in the ring. Cuneo was very bloody before the end of the second round, but he grew smarter before the end of the bout. He was no match for the other’s strength and rushes, however, and the match wus given to Raphael. 5 W. Birdsall of the Sacramento Athletic Club was slated to box with J. A. McGin- iey for the third bout, but as Birdsall could not come down to weight, Charles Reno of the San Francisco Athletic Club took his lace. Both men were at 135 pounds. 'li)'lxere was no referee and the bout was dis- tinctively a friendly one and ended with honors even. The match between L. J. Payen of the Sacramento Athletic Club and Stewart Carter of the Olympics was expected to be one of the best bouts of the evening and much enthusiasm was shown when the men entered the ring. Payen was at 142 pounds and Carter at 143. Paven looked much the stronger of the two. but both were in first-class con- dition. The first round was tame, but in the second both men started to mix things. Carter was conl, but Payen shoWed up well in his leads, and at theend of the round he was in the better condition. The Sacramento man adhered strictly to the rule to follow every lead with a counter, and mnot once did Carter’s fist come out but he had to dodge or take a blow from Payen. The fourth round was a lively one and Carter’s evi- dent desire to hug Payen close in every clinch brought the audience in favor of the Sacramento man. At the end of the bout one of the judges declared in favor of Carter and the other in favor of Payen, whereupon the referee instantly declared it a draw. Hoots and howlis followed the decision, for Olymlpm was in favor of the Sacramento man. The howls of disapproval were only stayed when the next men came in. i These were J. Reay of the Olympic Club and Best Brown of the Acme Club, each at 157 pounds. It wasa good fight from the start. The first and second rounds showed no material advantage for either, although at the end of the second Reay went to his corner considerably more winded than Brown. The third round was Brown’s, and so was the fourth; but toward the end the men fouzht des- perately and a knockout seemed immi- nent. Reay’s seconds cheerea him on and club members yelled every time Reay ral- lied; but when Brown was awarded the fight everybody cheered and the Acme Club yell came ringing from one corner. The last bout of the evening was be- tween the heavy-weights, J. Kennedy and Van Buskirk, both of the Olympic Club and each fighting at about 180 pounds. Both men were bard hitters, and both were willing to hit. The firsy round favored Kennedy, but in the second Van Buskirk limbered up to such a degree that he soon had Kennedy staggering. Ken- nedy’s seconds went to his rescue and took him back to his corner while the fight went to Van Buskirk. On the whole, the matches were not up to what have been given in the club. What promised to be the best two fights of the evening, Smith and Dodd and McGinly and Birdsali, fell through, and the bout between Carter and Payen was one to be forgotten as quickly as possible. Had it rested with the club members Payen would have been given the match without ques- tion. During the evening Superintendent Ken- nedy read a telegram from Walter Foster, at Sacramento, announcing that he had made two new world’s wheel records. He rode one-third of a mile, paced and with a flying start. in 30 seconds flat, and one- third of a mile, unpaced and with a flying start, in 32 dmaal DLl “The Last Rose of Summer,” one of Patti's favorite songs, was the work of Thomas Moore.
