Promptly at 2 o’clock the eleven starters in the opening race of a mile were called | by bugle call.

Swinging around the turn into the stretch for the final effort, there Wwas no material change in the positions, with the exception that Foremost had fallen back behind the favorite, G. B. Mor- ris still being the target-carrier.. The weight on Vinctor now began to tell, and although Cash Sloane strove: desperately to retain the lead, Bergen, hugging the in- side position with Junius, passed him and romped in an easy winner by five lengths, amid great cheering by the backers of the outsider. Gallant, who ran a great race, was lapped on Vinctor as the wire was passed. The winner covered the distance in 1:59, a remarkably fine performance. The fourth event on the card was a five and a half furlong spin for niaiden” two- vear-olds, and the Flambeau youngster Ravelston scored the first win for Mr. A. B. Spreckels.

La Flecha passed Pique the last sixteenth, inishing second. great array of jumping talent was down to start in the one and a half miles hurdle race, the last event on the card, and the most exciting and stubbornly con- tested finish of the day was witnessed. A whole carload of money went in on the Elkton stable’s J O C, as good as 8 to 5 was obtainable at bugle call. Six to 5, however, was much more plentiful. Andy Blakeley’s jumper, Colonel Weightman, was a decidedly well-backed second choice at twos. April, Seon | Enough and Three Forks commanded some small backing. After some little jockeying at the post, they were sent away well bunched. Soon Enough was indulged with the lead for little over half a mile, when J O C and Colonel Weightman i passed him, and a hammer-and-tongs struggle took place to the wire. Over the | last jump the Colonel looked a winner,.but Hennessy sat down hard on the Elkton jumper, and responding gamely, hung on, and the pair passed the wire so close to- gether that the judges were unable to separate them, declaring it a dead heat. April was a distant third. | Sy FOR THE GOVERNOR. | Music to Be. Played To-Day at Ingleside Track. The music at the Ingleside track is no mean feature of the entertainment.

Every Effort to Discover Her Where- abouts by Her Friends Proved Futile. Mary Funk, a domestic in the employ of Mrs. Simon at 2221 Sutter street, has disappeared, and all efforts to obtain in- formation as to her whereabouts. have proved unsuccessful. She left the home of Mrs. Simon on the 13th of this month, and not a word has since been received from her. ‘When she left it was with the under- standing that she would return in a week, and she also promised tQ write to her friends while she was away. She said she intended to go to Mill Valley, in Marin County, to spend the week, and only took along sufficient money to pay her railroad fare and hotel bill for that time. When no word was received from her, her friends grew anxious, but thought that as the weather was so fine she decided to remain away longer than she first in- tended. After ten days had passed and still no word was received from, her, Mrs. Simon thought that something was wrunE and made an effort to communicate witi her, but failed. Mrs. Simon then wrote to Rev. Carl Cordes of the Salem Evangelical (German) Church, where she attended. The minis- ter said he had received no word from the girl, though she had said she would write to him. Mrs. Simon_fn‘evmled upon the minister to go to Mill Valley and see: if she really was stopping there. Yesterday Rev. Mr. Cordes went to Mill Valley and inquired at all the hotels in order to see if any woman answering her description had been boarding there within the last two weeks. o His search was in vain. No waman an- swering her description had been at the hotels, and he was compelled to return to the City without having found a trace of her whereabouts. Miss Funk is a rather good-looking young woman, about 24 years of age, and has worked for Mrs. Simon for nine years. She came from Philadelphia and has al- ways been hardworking and honest. She has had no troubles, and no reason for her strange actions can be given by any of her friends. Mrs. Simon is completely at a loss to understand why the girl should not write and let her know of her where- abouts. ‘When seen yesterday afternoon Mrs. Simon was somewhat reticent. She ad- mitted she was somewhat anxious about the girl, but thought that she would turn up xfil right. “I have received no word from her,” said she, “but it may be possible that she is sick somewhere and unable to write.” Mr. Simon said that he did not want to have any publicity, as the girl would un- doubtedly turn up all right in the end. He said that the girl had always been honest and he did not know of any troubles she had. “The girl has many friends,” said he, “and they will look into the matter at once, but I will say nothing further, as I donot desire to get the matter into the newspapers. I recoghize their influence in helping relatives and others in findin, persons that are missing, but in this case,” | said he, “it might be doing the girl more harm than good. 1 am ceonfident that she will turn up all right in the end.” The Rev. Carl Cordes has communi- cated with a large number of Miss Funk’s friends, but he can find absolutely no trace of her from the time she left Mrs, Simon’s house on the 13th inst., at half-past 2 in the afternoon. ¥ GREEAWALD DSHPPEAED He Was Charged With Embezzle- ment by the Columbia Mills. \ His Relatives Say He Took Passage for Europe on a Ship Last Monday, F. Greenwald, the traveling agent for the Columbia mills, who was arrested three weeks ago on the charge of embezzle- ment, has disappeared. After his arrest and arraignment before Judge Joachimsen he was given his liberty on his own recognizance. Since then his friends have not been idle. They have labored zealously in his behalf, and one of the results may be found in the circum- stance of his disappearance. He had no money and owed every one who would trust him, and it would have been impos- sible for him to leave the City without assistance. The crime of which he is charged is of a doubtful character, so far as the capabil- ity of his accusers to prove their allega- tions is concerned. The-alleged embezzle- ment consisted of his selling his commu- tation ticket, in order to get money on which to ‘travel and pay the hotel and other bills incurred while discharging his duties as traveling salesman for the Co- lumbia mills. The company claims that he bad a fixed amount of money to defray all the ex- penses of his trip. He says he was very short; in fact, to use the commercial trav- eler’s wrmfinpped, and had to resort to the means efiployed to get O;It of thetown ace. That Greenwald has gisnppenred is kuown toall his friends and'acquaintances, but his relatives and closest iriends only are aware af the manner of his going. He boarded a ship bound for some European port a week ago yesterday, so his brother- in-law, Mr. ghoenwuur of the firm of Shoenwasser, Davis & Co., says. It is obvious he is traveling on the funds which his friends provided, as he was Known to have nothing. His wife and two children are provided for by relatives. Mr. Shoenwasser, the absent traveling man’s brother-in-law, said yesterday that Greenwaid had no cause to flee from the wrath of justice. ‘The charge of embez- zlement,” he said, “could not have been proved, and the only reason that I can as- cribe for his course is that he did not want to stay and face his numerous creditors after the public disgraceof his arrest. But the whole trouble originated in the nig- g-rdl{‘nhry allowed him by his employ- ers. They did not give him enough to en- able him to dress respectably, let alone to pay the expensesof maintaining his do- mestic establishment.” » What is without, doubt the smallest clock in the world was lately on exhibition in the shop-window of a Goettingen jeweler.

The College Greek Letter Society of Phi Gamma Delta Organizes a Grad- uate Chapter for California. A college fraternity alumni association was inaugurated at the. Occidental Hotel last night. Graduates of the University of California, of Stanford University and of several Eastern colleges assembled to, perfect the organization of the California Alumni of Phi Gamma Delta, more famil- iarly known as “The Fijis.” This fraternity is one of the older Greek- letter secret societies, having been organ- ized in 1848. It has chapters in forty-five universities and colleges in the United States, and is strongly represented at both Berkeley and Palo Alto. The charter membership of the new alumni chapter is made up ]xerely of graduates of the State University, althongh ‘Stanford and quite a number of Eastern institutions are represented. 'W.

THE SCHAFER SHODTING. Ante-Mortem Statement Made by the Dying Woman \Yesterday. : Schafer Continues Morose and Sul- len and Refuses to Answer Any Questions. Mrs. Mary Schafer, who was shot three times by her aged husband at 1321 Larkin street on Wednesday night, is still alive, although the physicians say that she can- not - possibly recover. They say that either of the two wounds would prove fatal. Yesterday morning it was decided by the police to get her to make a proper ante- mortem statement. This was.accordingly done in the presence of Officer Haneman i and Dr. Helms and it was transcribed and signed by her and duly witnessed. It is practically the same as was published in TrE CALL yesterday morning. She is perfectly conscious and calmly waits death. She made her will yester- day morning and twice during the day was visited by a clergyman. Last night she asked that Dr. J. Soboslay, the physician of a Foresters’ lodge of which she is a member, should be sent for, and when he called she gave him instractions about the disposition of some papers, which she had 1ocked up in a bureau drawer in her room at 1321 Larkin street. The poor woman seems to suffer more from her husband’s unfounded jealousy than from the pain of her wounds. For the past eight weeks he had been crazy witk. drink, and life with him was becom- ing intolerable. He did not threaten her with vioience till Tuesday, when -he told her he would like to cut her. heart out. Then when heéot the letter on Wednesday from Robert Gutlo telling him that his wife was a good woman the climax came, as he charged her with writing the letter. Woman-like, she freely forgives him for what he has done. Several ladies who lived in the same house with the Schafers called to see her at the hospital yesterday. They said they never heard the couple quarrel and that to all appearance zheg lived happily to- gether. Thev spoke highly of Mrs. Schafer whom they all liked and respected. Schafer has meantime been charged with assault to murder. He continues sullen and morsse and positively refuses to answer any questions as to what prompted him to commit the deed. When spoken to his language is more forcible than polite. Two men called upon him yesterday afternoon to arrange with him for a trans- ferof his saloon on the corner of Clay and Drumm streets. e — DIED WHILE DESPONDENT. John Becker Ends His Life While on a Spree. The body of John Becker was found by some small boys in a vacant lot at the cor- ner of Sixth avenue and Lake street yesterday, shortly after noon. The Corc- ner was notified and the body removed to the Morgue. Becker had been a clerk in the grocery- store of D. Becker & Co., at the corner of Sutter and Leavenworth streets. He had been drinking for some time and finally went to the Home of the Inebriates, which he left about a week ago, though Dr. Potter thought he should have remained longer. . He continued drinking and be- came very despondent. E Mr. Becker lived at 718 Leavenworth street. He has a brother, John Henry Becker, a grocer, who lives at 624 Taylor street. Deceased was 35 years of age and unmarried. He left no word of his intention of tak- ing his life. But at his side was a soda bottle from which the contents had been drained. It is thought that he took poison and used the soda to wash the drug down. A post-mortem examination will be held to find the exact cause of death. 11 THANKSGIVING COURSING, Dublin Stout Wins the Honors and Money at Casserly’s Park. ’ A COMBINATION . IS EFFECTED. In Future All Running Will Take ,Place at the Popular Ocean . View Resort. The Thanksgiving coursing meeting at Casserly’s Ocean View, park was finished yesterday, the winner turning up in Dub- lin Stout, a dog that but a few months ago was bought by his present owner for $5. The final was between Missjon Boy and Dublin Stout, the latter winning easily after one undecided course. Mission Boy’s chamces were ruined by a bad fall that threw him several yards down the hill. The crowd was in a betting mood, and several of the events carried heavy wagers. Following is the result of the unfinished ties carried over from last Sunday : D. Tweedie’s Dublin Stout beat W. Perry’s Coomassie, H. Hull’s Jim Budd beat C. Hoop- er’s Duke, J. Murph’ys Redlight beat' P.. Gor- man’s Domino, J. Lerkey’s True Blue beat D. Leonard’s Will-o-the-Wisp. Second ties—D.

The Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County has put its foot down upon any further boxing contests being held in San Mateo County under the auspices of the a young man named Young Mitchell was desirous of introducing a second boxing club, and as the peopie of San Mateo County objected to an invasion of fistic contests the attention of the Supervisors of the county was attracted to what promised to be a prize-fighting settlement. Owing to Mr. Mitchell’s interference it is now antiounced that there will be no more sport of that character either at Colma orin any other part of this county. The Board of Supervisors of San Francisco County have intimated that it will remove its official sanction to the exhibitions that are periodically held at Colma. There is a county ordinance in exist- ence which provides for the holding of ex- hibitions of skill or endurance, but some of the Supervisors maintain that recent set-tos at Colma have been clearly in vio- lation of the law.
