10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1895. et SN e D sy S A I g e s TR Visitors are beginning to divide their | attention between Walter Hobart and the | other exhibitors. That he will win the largest number of vrizes ever taken by any one man at a single horse show thereis no longer any doubt, but those who have the occasional pleasure | of extracting the blue ribbon from under his thumb are not without friends Spectators are about equally divided in their opinions of Mr. Hobart’s horses, compared with those of his competitors, with just a little more riotous apvlause in favor of the latter class of admirers. Alex Dellow, the dethroned groom, for- merly of the principality of Hobart, has already won the spplause and the appro- val of the best-natured partof the audi- ence by carrying off the blue ribbon in the high-stepper class, and G. A. Pope, who was wise enough to place the buying of Romulus and Remus in Alex’s hands, has been congratulated on all sides, “because,” as many say, ‘“‘Hobart is a hard man to beat, and the horse that carries off the ribbon over his is a first-class animal.” Yesterday afternoon Mr. Pope sent Romulus and Remus into the ring again, but Prince Hobart had anticipated their arrival with some magnificent high-step- pers. Immediately upon driving into the track Mr. Pope’s groom, still buoyant with the victory of the day before, was loudiy | by applauded, particularly the people hered at both ends of inclosure, or that section of the Pavilion where society does not cluster. When he swung into the | | had atone time in New York when a horse how was in progress I was so thoroughly ot course I had no idea what a horse show meant or I never would have felt so about it. Why, this is simply grand, and I ven- | ture to say it would surprise New York to see the progress the association has made on this coast. Such things take time to build up, but this growth is marvelous—mar- velous! It beats me,” and the only Wang threw up his hands and glued his eyes on the ring like he would on the flag if he been suddenly dropped into some foreign country. In fact, Mr. Hopper was hit hard. John Mackey, probably the best horse anthority in America, was conspicnous with his paddock coat and contented face. He walked around the promenade and eyed the animals critically. “‘Gentlemen,” said he to some friends, *‘do you realize that this is one of the best things that could happen to horseflesh in | California. We have horse-raising State in America here. From the day a horse is born ke is grow ing all the year until he gets his growth. There are no eccentric changes of climate and the grass keeps coming up from Janu- v to December. Talk about the East - why, they ain’t in it. Come with me and I will show you some California horses.” Mr. Mackey then walked off in the direc- tion of the stables and pointed out horses we g from a ton down. ‘‘Now, here got the greatest | incensed at the way it interfered with our | receipts that I would not go to see it. failure. As it is we are enabled toincrease our prizes and improve the show in every ! way as an inducement for exhibitors to come forward. And it is not by any means | gotten up for society’s benefit. These breeders don’t bring their horses here to amuse society. Ask Boyd 1f he does not think his blue ribbons ar2 worth hundreds of dollars to him. Ask Corbitt, Foster or any of the others who have brought their ho1ses here at great expense purely as a ! financial venture. Without the backing of society we'would not have it at all. “I think there is a great future for the | Horse Show Association. This is not a money-making tcheme. Aside from in- | terest on the investment, all the income | will be paid out in increased prizes or im- | proving the show generally. In time, un- | less the Mechanics' Institnte improves | this building or builds one more suitable, it ! is likely that the association will put up & building of its own if it appears that it will pay interest on the investment, which | woula be $150,000 or $250,000 probably. This building is not bad for the purpose now. The arena should be eight or ten feev wider. The stables aro far better than they were at the New York show. **One thing about prizes you might state is that in classes like those of draft horses the prizes should be increased from $50 or $60 to $200 or $300, and this can be done ounly if draft-horse men will make more entries. Bigger prizes are offered in the thoroughbred classes because there are more entries.” C. A. Durfee of Los Angeles, the owner of McKinney, i3 a strong believer in the show. “The horse show is a great edu- cator,” he said. “People learn the difference between well-bred horses and others here. Many breeders think that the tide is coming in for them. The mar- | ket is better this year and prices are stiffer. American people like changes. Just now everybody is crazy over running horses. A few years ago it was trotters,and trotters will come in acgain soon. But there is so much running now that those in it are killing the goose that lays the golden egg. But for both these classes as good prices | are obtained now as ever were, and they | will increase, particularly for trotters, as there has been very little breeding of trot- ters lately. Then there is growing upa foreien demand for trotters for France, Germany, Russia, England and the smaller republics. “Trotters will before long bring twice as good pricesas they do now. But they must be first class in every way, both for racing and driving. Orders for first-class road teams to o in "30 can’t be filled now, and it is much so with all first-class car- riage horses. For the poorer classes of | horses the prices cannot get much lower. | The bicycle and electricity have killed the | demand for them and there isno money in breeding anything but the best stock.” W. H. Thomas of the Kern County Land Company, which has over thirty horses in | the show, has been breeding horses nearly | all his life. None of the horses he exhibits | bave their tails docked. That is something that he does not believe that the horse | show can ever educate him up to. “This show is all right,” he said. “It will stimulate a great many breeders to turning out a better class of horses. Itis a mistake to think that horse-breeding is a | dead issue. There is money in the busi- ness. Good horses will always be in de- | mand, and this horse show will do a great | | deal toward teaching the buyers what | good horses are. Of ‘course the styles change a little, but not much. | “In carriage horses people a good many 1 | CAUGHT ~ e, THE FLY AT THE HORSE SHOW. ON stretch and went down before the strictly | bon-ton element there wes no very decided | demonstration, but each time he made the turn there was a howl of applause. Mr. Hobart’s turnouts got the glad hand from | society at intervals, but the endmen | finally became so boisterons and uncon- trollable that they rattled the groom with | applause and disconcerted rather than strengthened him. The levity which was introduced by the endmen to show their appreciation was the cause of Alex’s undoing, and he did | not drive as well as on the occasion of de- feating his old employer. In consequence Hobart got the blue ribbon and Mr. Pope had to be contented with the red rosette. I can’t quite understand it,”’ said Alex after the decision, but Mr. Hobart’s horses certainly behaved very well, and [ think the prize was placed in the right place. | The judges are ‘there to judge horses, not | men, and that's all there s to it. Through- out this whole show the prizes have been very well distributed, and I am sure the judges are doing therignt thing. By jove, it's good to hear applause, but it rattled me a bit, and bhere I am with only the red ribbon.” “That's all right, Alex,” said Mr. Pope, coming up at that moment; *“you did all that T expected of you. It was a game fight for the vrize, but 1 think Hobart de- served it.”’ In the Shetland exhibition, class 59, little | Miss Aloha Agnew, riding Henry Crocker's | pony, carried off the blue ribbon. She was | dressed in neatly draped bloomers, and her light hair fioated behina her as the little animal galloped around the ring. She ! presented a very pretty picture. When Judge Carman hung the biue trophy on the bridle some one, attracted by the wild | applanse, remarked, “That must be Ho- | bart’s little sister.”” And the band played | on. De Wolf Hopper was enthusiastic over the exhibits and insisted that a horse was the prettiest thing in the world. “I think this show is a wonder,” he remarked to Mrs. Hopper, “‘and that the exhibitors de- serve credit. I shall always regret one thing in my theatrical life, and it is that | we have a pair of roadsters. Look at those heads. There you see a couple of horses that can go to the mill and bring flour back every day in the week and never give in. Talk about your hackneys and high- steppers. They are everything that is claimed for them, only they pick their feet up and put them down in the same place again. American horses put their feet out ahead and travel. That’s the dif- ference. It is all rubbish to say that Last- ern horses or imported animals are better than the horses we raise right here. We have ciimate, breeding and proof of my statement.”’ Mr, Mackey knows how to handle the stable-boys and grooms. If they are Eng- lish he talks with a Cockney accent; if American he tosses in racetrack slang, and if colored his Georgia dialect is beau- tiful. He is as good a judge of men as of animals, and is careful what kind of peo- vle he trots with. Dan McCarthy of white-hat fame was in his element, and sai You can quote me with saying that this isa — good show. I consider that the judges have made less mistakes than any other body of men would have made under similar circnm- stances. Ithought McKinney with four of his get would take off the prize for standard bred trotters over Guy Wilkes, but he didn’t and I can’t change it. Tak- ing the show as a whole, it ought to make any horse fancier proud to see the equine attracting so much attention. The ex- hibitor: are to be thanked for their inter- est, and particularly Hobart, who is one of the leading horsemen of this country.”’ President Crocker is pleased at the way the show has been patronized, and says that society deserves credit for making | “The first thing we did | success possible. was to ask society to back us, and without 1t we could rot have got onat all. The | show could not exist without the proceeds | of the sale of the boxes. There were 100 sold at §125 each. This money was put up asa guarantee to make the thing go by people who took an interest in it months ago. If we had gone on without that and opened the show to the public at 50 cents and $1 apiece it would bave been a dead years ago wanted large anim: Now they require smaller animals and pay more at- tention to the conformation and action. They want horses with endurance. High steppers with clean heads and beautiful ears and nostrils. The price of a horse de- pends greatly on haw he is handlea and fixed up. Two years ago I sold a horse for $175; which was taken East, and with its mate sold in New York for $2500. None of my horses have their tails docked. I don’t believe in it, and then it would be cruel to them down in Kern County, where the climate is so hot in summer.” J. P. Rodehaver has been breeding Nor- man Percherons at Petaluma since 1878. But for those sent in by Hill & Rodehaver and the Clydesdales of George P. McNear, the draft classes would malke a very poor showing. ““We consider it our duty as breeders to do all we can for the show, for in the near | future we surely shall reap a reward. I believe that the horse show promotes the interests of all classes of horses. Itisa | place where we can come and get points | with a view to arriving at greater perfec- { tion in breeding. It is much better than | the average agricultural show, because only the best horses are shown here, and breeders and buyers can get much more | accurate ideas of the proper standards | than they can at shows where the horses | | are more mixed. Draft horses here are not as well represented as they should be, except from Petaluma, and 1 hope THE CarL will state that unless the draft classes fill up better next year they will be abolished by the managers. They prom- | ise, however, if good showing is made, to double the prizes as an inducement to exhibitors.” The results of yesterday’s judging were as follows: Class 19—Hobart's 118 and 119 first prize, Hobart’s 201 and 202 second, A. Spreckels’ Grove A and Al 8 third, and, Agnew stock farm’s Flora G and Stratford Dawn highly commended. Class 2—Palo Alto stock farm’s Fairy Rose first prize, A. B.

Mortgage Case in Which Three Courts Are Curiously Mixed Up In Amer- ican Jurisprudence. An interesting question in jurisdiction has arisen in the United States Circuit Court suitof the Bullion and Exchange Bank of Carson City, Nevada, against A. Otto and John Spooner, now pending. Spooner mortgaged his Lassen County stock farm and stock to the bank and event- ually foreclosure proceedings were insti- tuted, but failed. This action was in the Superior Court of this County. Afterward a similar suit was brought in the United States Circuit Court in Nevada. By that time Otto had become Spooner’s grantee. Judge Hawley decided in favor of the plaintiff bank. But the bank’s judgment did not do it much good, because posses- sion it could not be had upon property in California. So suit was brought in the United States Circuit Court here. _In the present action the bank pleads the judgment rendered by the Circuit Court in Nevada. Against this Attorney Garter contended for the defense that as the Circuit Court in Nevada had no juris- diction in Catifornia the judgment was of no avail here, but Judge McKenna held that there was enough allegations in the bili of complaint, anyway, to constitute a cause of action, irrespective of the plead- ing of former judgment. Now Mr. Garter sets up as a defense a plea of res adjudicata on the grounds that the matter has already been determined on its merits in the Superior Court of this County in favor of his clients. The case is to be argued on the 17th inst. e ———— Republicans Organize.

Arrangements for an Early Primary Put Through According to Programn_le. The regular—the Buckley—Democratic General Committee held a large, snappy and business-like meeting at B'nai B'rith Hall last evening. This was the second meeting of the committee since the Junta element pulled out and set up an independ- ent institution. Secretary Twoohig announced over 200 present after rolicall, which was a big showing for the Buckley faction when no contest was on. Everything was harmo- nious and the business of the evening was almost wholly devoted to the coming pri- mary arrangements, which were ordered as recommended by the primary commit- tee of twenty-five. The meeting was fashioned in a work- manship way, just as all such Buckley meetings are. Political apprentices don’t run Buckley meetings and one can be spotted from the sidewalk if the front door is open. At 7 p. M. the sawdust on the floor was evenly raked to make things natural and comfortable, and all around the gallery front hung big bplacards, ‘‘Twenty-eighth District,” and soon, that delegates should be properly marshaled together. A big man in white hung at an inside hall docr his pasteboard sign, ‘‘Beer 5 cents,’” and J. J. Maloney took a last survey at the verfect arrangements and the clean orderly scene. Then they began dropping in. James H. O'Brien, Joseph Rothschild, A. T. Spotts, Sam Newman. Robert Boyd and two or three more leaders came later and consulted in the deta.ls of the proceedings to come. The delegates went all to their sections. Under the summary style of or- ganization that Buckley has putin force there is a ‘‘district man” in each district who has ‘“‘precinct men’’ under him. The district man_knows all the whos and whats of his district, and in meeting time he does all necessary talking for that dis- trict and the rest keep properly still. When a Buckley meeting comes to or- der it looks different from some other po litical meetings somehbow. There are not 50 many delegates who preen their hair a little, for instance, when they come to or- der, or take such good care of their hats. As 'likely as not the delegations are the ‘“loins of the people’” to which such elo- quent Democratic commoners as Colonel O'Byrne often trace buck their popular candidates when on the platiorm. Then by the end of the rollcall there is an_azur- ish e softening the gaslizht. Thatis the way it was last night. “Just notice that our chairman wears diamonds,” said James H. O'Brien, as act- ing chairmen Joseph Rothschild pro- ceeded vigorously to business at 8:40 p. M John H. Wise, Dr. Stanton, Joseph Leg- gett, Thomas Ashworth and some other popular supporters of that faction were not there last night. Recorder Glynn was the only delegate there, who wasapplauded as usual on rollcall. 'In the lobby were several Juntaites watching the proceedings and helping crowd the weil-tilled nall. Chairman Rothschild committee of twenty-five on the p and the committee of tive on the gas inci- dent, both of which committees were ap- pointed ten days ago. M. J. Donovan, chairman of the primary commiitee, submitted his report. The aates for the primary arrangements as fixed by the Falion resolution of the pre- ceding meeting and referred to the com- mittee, were advanced one week, making the six d nrollment begin on the 16th inst., and g the primary for January 11. The district delecations were directed to fix on places for enrollment at once. Here P.F. Dundon, who is chairman of the Occidental Club committee on organization, made for some reason or other, theonly interruption in the flow of arrangements, He opposed holding a primary, as it would only widen the breach in the party, and advised hotding off to see if some neutral Democratic body could not fix things up. But things had gone too far and Dundon was alone in his plea. Robert Boyd made a speech favorin, wgoing before the people” at once, and suying that 12,000 new Democratic voters who had come into the party since 1892 ought to have something to say about the party organization. M. J. Donovan sailed into the Junta, who, he said, were trving to disrupt the party for their own ends, and said: “We ezan this movement for a primary. They didn’t want a primary, but they found what the pedple thouglit of their method of keeping themselves in power, and they took a new tack and said, *‘Well, we'll have a primary, too.” Letus go ahead and not be swerved by & man who will turn out the as.”’ “Dundon is entirely wrong and ought to do penance for half an hour,” said Coionel O’Byrne in his speech, and he referred to the unboly alliance of Federal office- holders, political expectants and ger.eral calumniators of their betters, who desire to perpetuate their own oligarchy in the party. The gas-McNab committee asked and got *‘further time.” It will probably goto sleep quickly and Gavin McNab will re- main uninvestigated. The constitutional amendment provid- ing for a committee of twenty-five to take charge of the primary proposed at the last meeting was adopted, and the pres- ent primary committee created under a resolution at the last meeting was formally made the one called for by the amended constitution. This general committee is carefully ob- serving regularity in everything, and in order to legally elect a new committee of 450 at the coming primary another consti- tutional amendment was proposed by James H. O'Brien. Just before the pri- mary of May, 1894, which was never held, the constitution was amended providing for the election of a smaller commuttee, com- posed of fifteen members from each dis- trict, instead of twenty-five, as in the present old committee. It is deemed ex- pedient and wise, in view of the charge that Buckley wants a small committee, to elect a committee composed of the old number, and so O’Brien’s amendment changes the number to the old standard. The district men made partial announce- ments of places where the rolls will be opened in the various districts as follows: ‘I'wenty-cighth Distrigt, Drew’s Hall, New Montgomery _street; enty-uinth, Irish- American Hall; Thirtieth, Berry and Minna: Thirty-first, Eighth and Folsom; Thirty-second, New ‘Occidental Hall, Fourth and Brannan; Thirty-third, Twenty-tourth sand Potrero avenue; Thirty-fourtn, alternate between Har- mony - Hall and Nineteenth and Howard; Thirty-seventh, Hayes and Franklin, Ifayes and Broderick, Haight and Stanyan, Haight and Gough; Thirty-eighth, Pierce and Turk, 726 McAllister, First avenue and Fulton street; Thirty-ninth, Saratoga Hall.

The committee adjourned to the call of the chair. e THE ANTI-BUCKLEY WAR. The Junta’s Enrollment Goes On, and Chief Sullivan Says Something. The second evening of the Junta’s dis- trict enrollment gave about the same results as the first one.j)The following re- ports were received at headquarters last night: ‘Twenty-ninth District, 75; - Thirtieth, 109; Thirty-second, 67; Thirty-fourth, 203; Forty-third, 59; Forty-fourth, 173; Forty- fifth, 114. The partial reports at head- quarters show a totalf registration of 878 for the first night and 733 from the six dis- tricts reported last night. The biggest re- sults are expected from the personal, place-to-place canvass which a smaiYarmy will begin on Monday, and a big enroli- ment is counted on. Among the various squabbles among the Junta’s forces have been a district fac- tional fight injthe Twenty-eighth and one in the Forty-fourth. In the Twenty- eighth there are two ‘factions, led re- spectively by Thomas P. Cusick and Samuel ayes. Things were fairly dai- vided by the committee of fifty, but the other day Registrar Hinton, who was appointed to the general committee from that district, resigned. There has been a row over his successor, 2s each faction had twelve members. Chairman Sullivan has settled things by strong words, and the man elected is said to give Cusick a vic- tory. Out in the Forty-fourth Ed Lanigan on one handand the Daggett-Rainey power on the other cannot agree, and are so jealous of each other’s power that the dele- gation could not organize. Chairman Sul- livan has appointed an outside committee to take charge of the enroliment in that district, and the factional breach remains open, Chief Sullivan of the Fire Department laughs at the efforts of the Buckleyites to frighten-him with a Grand Jury investiga- tion of the department’s political work, or anything else, and says that the Grand Jury cannot investigate the department too soon to suit him. ‘‘Now, I don’t want to talk politics, or be mixed up with Buckley in anyway,” said Mr. Sullivan last evening. ‘I want to belet alone and I want thedepartment let alone. I have no fear that Mr. Buckley can ever get hold of it, for if he put up a ticket of angels I don’t believe the people would elect it, but I don’t want Mr. Buckley to get hold of the department again. I have had enough of it and the people have had enough. ell, I don’'t know any- thing aboutthe department being in poli- tics now. There may be ten men in the department interested in this tight against Buckley and there may be two hundred, but I don’t know it. None of the men can form any clubs, but if any of them are ask- ing their friends to do anything they are doing it to protect themselves and it is justifiable. They know that if Buckley gold hold of the department off would go their heads. If there is any activity itis simply a matter of self-preservation. I want an efficient department and I want it kept out of politics. The talk about the red bugeies running around doing politics is nonsense, and there is nothing in it. The men cannot wholly be denied, how- ever, and their rights of suffrage and their right to save themselves and the depart- ment.” “HIRING” Another of Rev. V. Marshall Law’s Plans Frustrated by the Action of the Clericus. Rev. V. Marshall Law does not dwell in unity with his brethren of the Clericus. He no longer attends their weekly meet- ings. There would be a perceptible lower- ing of the temperature at the diocesan house if he did. One by one the clerical body has foiled his pet measures. It turned its back upon his patented communion chalice, to which action he responded by a vigorous de- nunciatory letter in the press. The Clericus ignored the letter and proceeded its way to annihilate another w’s favorite theories. Law believes in a probationary CLERGYMEN. Mr. period of the ministry—that is, that a minister be taken on trial, the congre-a- tion being subjected to the same test, for alimited period. He has said he would not accept a charge on any other condition, and has been strong in” his advocacy of such a measure on the part of the Episco- pal churches. The Clericus has ecalmly vetoed tha Bishop Nichols, stating that *‘such practice tends to lower the office of clergyman in the estimation of the people by placing it upon a commercial basis.” Rev. V. Marshall Law was employed in an QOakland parish a year ago on_that “‘commercial basis,” he having said he would not accept the charge otherwise. He was afterward regularly elected by the vestry to the rectorshiv, but is one of those whom a member of the Clericus de- scribed as “‘being hired in the same way as a wood-sawyer is.” The clergy disclaim any reference to Mr. Law in the framing of the petition. Per- haps not, but it is a coincidence that by so doing they knocked over another of his clerical nine-pins. ‘Want California Wines. C. F. Oldham of London, whose firm handles nearly all the Californis winessold in England, isat the Palace. Mr. Oldham was the British Commissioner appointed to decide on the merits of wines exhibited at the Chicago Ex- position, and decided in favor of those of California instead of France. He says the con- sumption of California wines i England, as shown by the selesof his firm, is about 2500 gallons a day. He adds that the demand is increasing in & way that if it continues the consumption of French, Ausiralian and Ger- man wines will be materially lessened. Cali- fornia wines, he says, will eventually take their place. Mr. Oldham will be here a month or more, He says prices for our wines will be very fair this year. The. supply is scarcely average. Chinatown Census. Chief Harrison of the Chinese bureau of the Custom-house has not yet proceeded to take the cersus of Chinatown. Collector Wise is in some doubt as to how to begin a task which ?romi!es to be more than ordinarily difficult. nstductions have been sent out by the Treas- ury Department to every port to have the cen- sus taken, so as to ascertain how many Chinese are illegally in this country, and at most of the ports work has begun. The Collector says the great diflicnlty with San Francisco is that he has not force enough, and no interpreter to spare, owing 10 the constaut immigration of Chinese and the time and labor required to examine all who come on the ocean steamers. THE AFTER EFFECTS Of Diphtheria, Defective Sight, Paraly- sis, Dyspepsia. From the Journal, Detroit, Mich. In a neat, home-like cottage at 112 Fifth street lives Mrs. A. T. Lyon, a remarkably pleasant and motherly lady who tells a very interesting story of her lifc, and, incidentally, speaks of her gratitude for a remedy which has wrought such a wonderful change in her. Said Mrs, Lyons: ‘‘About thirty years ago, before we knéw how to pronounce the word diphtheria, 1 was stricken with that awful diseese, which left me blind, nearly, and para- Iyzed in my lower limbs. “There seemed but little hope for me, but I did improve gradually until I was able to sit inachairand drag myself around the room by pulling the chair along with me. ““I doctored (orlyears, but was not cured. { spent a great deal of money and tried many of the most noted physicians. They only gave me temporary relief. I never was well Finally 1 began to have dyspepsia. My sto: ach rei; 1 food. I had the most dread- ful feelings. I cannot describe them. It was a peculiar burning sensation, as if I had been poisoned. I would fall down in the streets, and became so weak that I could not sit up guly part of the time. I suffered intensely. Nothing seemed todo me any good. I became thoroughly discouraged. To add to my misery 1 bad trouble with my heart. “One day a lady friend calied to see me. She told me about the Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Idid not want to take them, and it seemed foolish to bother with them when physicians had failed to help me. She said so mitch about it, however, that I was at last in- duced to try them. After taking the first half of the box I began to feel differently. They made me feel so much better. I continued taking them,and they have made a different woman of me. I feel like a new creature. I feel better than I have since I was a girl. “Iam over 60 now, and I am_ stronger and can endure more than the ordinary young woman. I do my own work and feel well, which I haven’t been able to say before for over thirty years.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the ele- ments necessary to give new life and richness fo the biood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by sll drnggists, or may bo had by mail from Dr. Willlams Medicine Cor g;"" Schenectady, N. Y., for50¢ per box, or six xes for $2 50. NEW TO-DAY. — $2 FOR THIS! A nice Oak Bookcase.
