Oregon Eclipse Was a Top-Heavy Favorite for the Third Race and Ran Unplaced. The racing at Ingleside track was graced yesterday by the presence of Governor Budd and staff. His Excellency arrived at the track just in time to see his namesake finish third in the opening race. The Governor and party were shown through the buildings by Mr. Corrigan, one of the directors of the new Jockev Club, and all expressed themselves as charmed with the new course and its surroundings. Starter Caldwell was in excellent form with his flag and was personaily compli mented by his Excellency for his splendid starting. The card for the day was rather an ordi- nary one, but racegoers turned outin full force. The track was still muddy nearest the rail, making fast time an imvpossibility. Favorites were successful in two events, old Strathmeath, the Derby-winner, being one of them. Willie Martin honors, riding two winnersand a second. Sallie Clicquot was plunged on to win the opening run at six furlongs for two- year-olds, and after looking all over & win- ner in the stretch Martin either eased up on heror she quit, and was beaten by imp. Miss Brummel, at 8 to 1 in the betting. stern delegation all got down hard on Strathmeath to win-the mile and seventy yards, backing him to a standstill at odds of 3 to 5. Martin rode a pretty ng race on him, lying in fourth posi- tion until the stretch was reached, when he ne on and, in a drive, beat the sec- ond choice, Collins, a head. Jack Riche- lieu was a poor third. A six-furlong dash was substituted for the mile run, There were six starters, Eclipse was made a hot 1 to 2 favorite, but made a wretched showing. the hard race with Potentate the day previous evidently carried off the jockey | which was declared off. | and Oregon not being without its effect. Remus, at one time as good as 15 to 1in_the betting, led all the way, and won easily, a length before Service. Our Maggie ran well through the stretch, finishing a bang-np third. In the seven-furlong run Pat Dunne’s All Over was played for a good thing, backed down from 6 to 5 to 4 to 5. Martin took matters easy to the bend for home, where he went to the front, and the Hano- ver colt fairly walked in, with Schnitz in second place, three lengths in front of Allahabad. The Elkton stable’s Fly wasa mild 3to 1 favorite for the closing event at five fur- longs, but had to be content with third place. Babe Murphy jumped out in front when the flag fell, and, although the favor- ite headed her once, she again passed him in the stretch and romped in, five lengths of daylight separating her and Contribu- tion, who headed Fly out for the place. | —_—— 1 BAD CAR SERVICE. | The Rallroad Company Fails to Treat the Ingleside Enterprise Decently. | On the opening day of the track at Ingle- | side, an intimate friend of its energetic young president was bewailing the rain {and said: *It has kept away at least 5000 | people.” i “That may be,” said Joe Ullman, who | stood by, “but it is a blessing in disguise. If this bad been a fair day the railroads | would never have been able to handle the | people.” | He was just about as near right as men generally get to be. The great stumbling | block in the way of the new track to-day | is the conservative and extra-economical way that both the steam trains and elec- tric cars are giving their alleged service to the public. There would be from 200 to 500 people going out there every morning between 8 and 11 o’clock to see the horses | work, if there were only some way of get- ting there. | What the horsemen want is about three | cars every hour to the track over the elec- tric road out Mission street and that with- out change of cars. The railroad people do not put on any cars over the new line until noon and then the schednle is by far | too infrequent for the good of tife public. A. B. Spreckels and his associates, sev- eral of whom are non-residents of tins State, have expended nearly half 2 million dollars to give San Francisco a model race- course and as they are not in the trans- | portation business themselves they should be met at least half way by those who are. | If ever the new Ingleside course becomes | a failure it will be through the negligenze and incompetency of the railway officials who are entrusted with carrying people to and from the track. | Track and Paddock Items. | Johnny Lamley was sight-seeing at the “THE CALL” Second Day of the Pacific Weather Fine.

Mat thousht his chance of winning was the very best, and more judiciously ridden the relding might have had his number hoisted on top. 5 Riley Grannan at last succeeded in breaking his spell of ill luck. He backed both Candor and Renown to win the third race, and, as the latter-named horse was a long shot in the betting, the bookies re- alized after the race that Riley had paid them a visit. . > Rainero, of the Santa Anita stables, who was scratched in tie opening race, is one of the grandest looking youncsters at the track. He stands over 16 hands high, being in stature a rival of the gigantic Lucky Dog. It is rumored that the clever rider, George Miller, who has been riding in races the horses owned by Walter Hobart, will shortly assist in the training of the cracks owned by the young millionaire. The grand racehorse Joe Ripley is again in training. He was fired, and is said to be doing well in his work. He once gave Henry of Navarre one of the hardest runs of his career, and competent judges think | he should have beaten the Belmont crack. Barney Schreiber's gray gelding, reliable old Braw Scot, was a starter in the fourth race, but did not cut rmuch of a figure. He is a great favorite with California race- s and there was no complaint after the count on getting their money th interest. It was his first winter. Belle Boyd made a Very poor showing in the opening race. Piggott, who rode the filly, said that she swerved out on turning into the stretch and would not try there- after, an unusual thing for the game daughter of El Rio Rey. ON THE WINTER TRACKS.

Sympathetic Strike a Great In- justice to Well-Meaning Empioyers. Professor Bernard"Moses gave ascholar's views of labor unionsin his weekly lecture at the South Park College Settlement last evening. He attributed the failure of the socialist movement in England, or that branch of it under the leadership of Owen, to the dis- position among the members to set them- selves aside as a peculiar people. Whenever a sect, political or religious, be- comes a marked people in the sense of secting themselves aside as a distinctive colleetion of humanity—like, for instance, the Shakers— they fail to draw others to them. Modern so- cialists are wiser than their predecessors in that they mingle with society and make it means 16 the end sought. By so doing they i a measure inoculate society with their ide The labor union plan has two phases, thai of exclusive and inclusive trades unions. The exclusive union idea, which is in vogue, tends 1o create upper and lower strata of the labor population. It gives & higher wage to the union’s members I grant, but is as cruel in its attitude toward noun-unionists as is the alleged attitude of capitalists toward that class, _Through their non-adoption of a comprehen- sive labor union, including all classes and voeations in the world of labor. the most eflicient means of improving their condition has been neglected. The s&)enker characterized as among the most effective and far-reaching of socialist branches the- Fabians of England, com- posed largely of intelligent young men seeking solutions of economic problems. This society appealea to the intellect of cultured people. German socialists and nihilists were characterized as perhaps the most intense, but he explained this by the statement that the socialists of Russia and her neighbor on the south are striving for objects Americans have attained. rofessor Moses thought the sympathetic strike a monstrous mistake. It was injust- ice to the employer. That the sinsof an unscrupulous employer in some remote State or;country should be visited upon employers notably just, who may not even be engaged in a kindred business, was manifestly unjust, in his opinion. Yet when widespread strikes were precipitated, it was the employers who were excoriated, not the particular branch of a union that brought about the evil. e THE PROPOSED CHARTER. A Discussion Before the Iroquois Club Upon the Jeffersonian Idea Embodied in It, The Iroquois Club resolved itself intoa debating society last night and discussed the question of: Resolved, That that feature of the proposed new charter centralizing power in the Mayor is essentially Democratic. Charles Wesley Reed was the principal advocate of the resolution and began by reading from reports made by a Pennsy vania commission in 1875 to prove his as- sartion, Mr. Gildea didn’t_care for the peculiar ideas of the commission, but wanted to know if it was Democratic. The speaker contended that the new charter giving the Mayor the appointing power over nearly all the municipal o clals embodied JSefferson’s idea of Demo- cratic self-government. He mentioned the cases of a large number of cities that were governed under charters where power was centralized in the chief executive, and in all those cases the plan was a success. The speaker scored the present loose sys- tem of the Board of Supervisors being the executor of its own laws and the real executive being a mere figure-head. e — HIGHBINDERS AT WORK They Raid s Chinatown Cigarmaker, With Good Results.

MISESTALKS ON STRIES. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1895. COINER MORGAN IN TOWN, The Official of the Philadelphia Mint on the Carson Em- bezzlements. A WITNESS IN THE TRIALS. He Passed on the Books in 1893, but Took the Assayer's Figures as True. W. E. Morgan, coiner of the Philadel- phia Mint, isat the Palace. He was called as a witness in the case of the big embez- lement from the Carson Mint, and will re- turn to Carson to-day to give more testi- mony. He says there is great interestin the trial at Carson. “I was called as a witness because I passed the books in 1893,” said he. “fwas then, as I had been for years before, en- gaged for the Government at the mint at Washington, and was sent out here to make the yearly sectlement and see that everything was correct. nce then, as vouknow, there has been charges of embezzlement of a total of §75,- 000 against Heney, Jones and Piper of the mint. Heney’s case, to which I wascalled, was the first to be tried. The charge was tnat there was a spurious melt in 1893, the vear I passed on the books. I donotthink that there was, but there might have been. I simply took the assayer’s report. “Heney was working in the refinery. T see since” I left Carson that the jury dis- agreed in his case. Iam sorry itdidn’t de- cide one way or the other, because I sup- pose there will have to be a new trial and this will mean a lot of trouble and ex- pense. I got to Carson on November 12 and remained ten days. “The trial of John T. Jones, who was the assistant melter and refiner, comes on next, and I am to be a witness in that also. My evidence is to be, as in Heney’s case, in reference to the weight and fineness of the metals. After ex-Assistant Melter and Refiner Jones’ trial is finished Piper will be put on trial. 3 “Though there is great interest in these cases at Carson, not much evidence of a sensational character was introduced. It was mainly technical, as to processes. In general it brought out nothing very new, the testimony being much the same asin the previous examination. “I'will leave for Reno to-morrow, and will be at Carson on Monday, when the trial of John T. Jones begins. b “Iwas out ac the United States Mint here to-day and called on Director Dag- gett, Coiner A. T. Spotts and others, and am very well pleased with the workings of the Mint here. 1 passed on the books here. too, in 1893, while in the department at Washington.” Coiner Morgan is well acquainted with Judges McKenna and Morrow and others who were formerly in Congress from Cali- fornia. He has also_more recently met Senators Perkins and White. Mr. Morgan was appointed about a year since as first coiner at the Philadelphia Mint by Presi- dent Cleveland without any solicitation, “It was a complete surprise to me. I knew nothing about it till I was notified of the appointment. I am a native of Philadelphia.” WAS CASEY TO BLAME ? Inquest on Bicyclist McMenomy Post- poned Upon the Request of His Brother. Coroner Hawkins did not complete yes- terday his investigation of the circum- stances surrounding the death of the bicyclist, John McMenomy, who was run over by a buggy in Golden Gate Park Sun- day. The inquest was postponed a week to give time for further evidence to be pro- cured. FEdward Casev and Miss Mary Foster, the occupants of the buggy which collided with McMenomy, and caused the fatal in- juries, were both present, and so was icholas McMenomy, a brother of the de- ceased. Nicholas was inclined to think that the affair could have been avoided. Several wheelmen took an interest in the proceedings. The story Driver Casey told, when he pave himself up to the police, he repeated yesterday, and it was corroborated by J. Phelan, who was driving a ng through the park, close to Casey’s. Casey said that McMenomy suddenly shot in front of him, and before he had time to stop the collision resulted, McMenomy being thrown off his wheel and run over. The bicycle was inspected by the jury. Several spokes were broken in each wheel. It looked as if it had been struck from the side. The postponement of the inquest was taken in deference to McMenomy’s brother, who said he had been informed that several persons saw the occurrence and were willing_to swear that Casey was to blame for it. He admitted that nobody had made any such statement direct to him. An inquest was held on the body of Giueseppe Riso, the barber of 441 Broad- way, who shot himself Tuesday because of charges made agamst him by little girls. The verdict was suicide. In the case of John Wilson, the cable- splicer whe was killed 1n the ‘‘winders” of the Sutter-street carhouse, the }‘)ury Te- turned a verdict of accidental death. A verdict of suicide was rendered in the case of John Max, who shot himself in Golden Gate PaYk on the 20th inst. NEW TO-DAY. J. H.
