After Mt McGregor IT had disposed of a | field of eleven maiden three-years very | handily in the opening five-furlong dash, staruing at s of 6 to 1, and Kamsin, the 1to 4 favorite for the seven-furlong run | that followed, had galloped over the top of | his [ield, the event of the day was called. | line starters were to face the issue. Delegated to carry top weight (119 pounds) Libertine was chalked up an 8 to 5 choice in the openiag betting. The Burns & | Waterhouse pair, Potentate ana Rosebud, next engrossed attention at 234 to 1, but | became a drug on the market, drifting | back to sixes. Vinctor, weighted next to | the favorite with 111 pounds, and his stable companion, Installator, had third call, with threes about tnem. Four to | one was once offered against the two, but | around post time the general price was 214 | to 1. Little pole had many stanch | friends, who backed him at 8 and 10 to A5 and the other starters—Perbaps, Thelma and Oregon Eclipse, the latier the rank outsider—came in for scattering support. The Livertine money was held off till just | before post time, when a heavy play cut his odds down to 6 to 5. There was a great deal of bumping and crowding and jamming about at the post. | Trozen up against the outside fence were Doggett on V tor and 1od Sloane on his | stable companion, Installator, waiting for the opportune moment. It came, In despair Ferguson got down oui of the starter’s box, mingiing with the horses. | The ficld broke away, or at least a portion | of it did, and down went the flag. It may | have looked like an even breakaway to the starter, but it looked a very rageed one to outsiders.

He responded again, however, to | i= rider's desperate riding, and in an ex- | ting drive was beaten but a neck as the | pair flashed past the winning-post. When the time, 1:3914, was hung out, the crowd went wild with enthusiasm, and | upon Doggett’s return to the stand horse | and rider received a great ovation.

The short course steeplechase was taken by the 13 to 5 favorite, Tom Clarke, who shook off Malo Diablo in the runto the wire, and won easily by three lengths. Burmal, who at one stage of the journey lovked a likely candidate for first place honors, finished a fair third. The mile and a sixteenth selling event, with eleven starters, resulted in another victory for Garnet Ferguson’s good colt St. Lee, who ruied a 6 to 5 favorite in the bet- ting. He was, vperhaps, fortunate in hav- ing his most likely competitor, Montalvo, left at the post. The youngster was in iront all tha way, and won by a length and a half in Little Bob, who was almost left when the flag fell, made a great ran, nibpins the place from Navy Blue by a short head. The day’s sport was concluded by a most exciting sprinting dash over the short six- furlong course. Sir Richard, Hymn, Tim Murphy, Fly, Clacquer and Emma D were all in, with feather-weights up, and some lively betting was indulged in. Opening at 21 to 1, Emma D was once more plunged on, her odds speedily being cut to 8 to 5. Very libemi prices were laid against the other starters. When the flag | fell Tim Murphy, Clacquer and Hymn | were away first, but Fly almost immedi- | ately shol to the front, leading the first- named trio, who were heads apart, two lengths at the half. Fly did not stop as he generally does, but hung on and was only beaten by a hose on the wire by Sir Richard, who showed a phenomenal burst of speed through the stretch. Tim Mur- phy was a bang-up third. It wasa very fast run race. the winner covering the dis- tance in 1:113{. Track snd Paddook Items. ‘W. Clancy, the steeplechase rider, 1s out once more on crutches. He was injured in one of the hurdle races run at Ingleside Track. Ed Purser started in the day well by backing Mt. McGregor II to win the open- inz race. Some of the books laid as good Riley Grannan made a swell plunge on St. Lee, ‘‘chocking the books plum full” of $500 bets. A good portion of it went back again on Emma D, who ran unplaced in the last race. Timed separately, outside watches are said to have caught Libertine from wire to | wire in 1:38 4-5. Unofficial times also caught the winner in 1:39 flat. The frac- tional parts of the mile, accoraing to the official timers, were: Quarter, hslf, 9% ; six furlongs, 1:141{; mile, 1:3934. The report circulated that Clara Wilson had beaten Summertime in a work out ing race. to 13 to 5. Malo Diablo showed marked improve- ment over the sticks yesterday, and with his speed on the flat Uids fair to make a He was excellently handled by Willie Spence. Billy S made his 1nitial appearance as a timber-topper. He bad a world of speed, but the wire was tco far away to suit him. Montalvo was backed from sixes and sevens down to 4 to 1, and a mint of money was lost on him’ when he was left standing at the post. Articus was well played to win the mile and a sixteenth event, and the sulking little son of Argyle was well handled b Wally Weaver (Pop). He is snother sh ing example of a good two-year-old ruined by being pitted against a crack of the aged division. There are a number of racegoers that would persist in making Emma D favorite in a field that comprised such stars as Domino, Rey del Carrera and Wernburg. She may be a Hindoo when starting against a lot of guarter horses at some country fair, ridden by pumpkin-headed jockeys, but has yet to show some class when starting against horses of any cali- ber. Little Bob's run in the mile and a six- teenth event was little short of phenome- nal. He was almost leit at the post, yet threaded his way through the field, and, had the distance been a furlong farther, would have given the winner.%t. Lee, a Mr. Arkenburg, one of the owners of Libertine, was very wrathy over the start the big sprinter got. This is the second stake event run off atthe Bay District in which he bas fared badly.

THE COLLECTCR'S HEAVY DEBTS. He Feared the Attorneys for the Schulken Estate—Pressed by His Creditors. The legal battle between Joseph Shain and Messrs. C. A. Curtin and C. W. Beals, wio succeeded to the business of the well- one if the allegations of the defendants are proven. Shain, after becoming very much involved financially, left the City suddenly in June last. Curtin and Beals were employes of his, | and proceeded to carry on his businessand settle the affairs of the concern to the best of their ability. On Shain’s return he de- clared his intention of resuming the busi- ness, but Curtin and Beals declined to give up the office, alleging that Sbain had as- signed his business to them and that they were the sole proprietors of the agency. Recently Shain began suit for $15,000 damages, an accounting, & to recover possession of his office tures and ac- counts. He alleged that Curtin and Beals were simply acting as his agents, and had no real interest in the business. Up to the present neither Curtin nor Beals has made any explanation of the matters mentioned by Shain in his com- plaint, but, being charged with frand- ulently withhoiding s business from Shain, Curtin yesterday made the follow- ing statement: to Mr. Beals | ved. In the begin- | ning of June [ ascertained that a large sum of nicney, over $2000, which had been passed | through the books during the previous month and had helped to =atisiy the most clamorous of his crediters, was money that had been col- | 1 hain on account of a gentleman | s City, which amount Mr. Saain was sbsolutely unable to repay. During the first three weeks oi the month of June Mr. Shein was absent from his office, dodging his creditors. Toward the end of the month an arrangement was arrived at by Mr. Shain, Mr. Beals and myseli whereby he agreed to leave to us the straightening out of his affairs, and promised to absent himself from the City for three months, we all thinkiny that Mr. Beals and myself could probably make a better sat- tlement for him in his absence than he could ao personaily il pre-ent, to say nothing of the fact that he was daily in denger of arrest. 1insisted on my part that Mr. Shain should execute in Iny favora power of attorney, irre- vocable for one year; chould transfer all his assets 10 me, in constderation of which I agreed to endeavor to settle with his ereditors, SO thatatthe end of three months he could return and resume his business. After the execution of the power of attorney ana the transier of the assets in question Mr. Shain left the City and stayed away about six | weeks. During his absence I settled with some of his moss pressing creditors, and made as thorough an examination into his affairs as the time at my disposal permitted; the reeult | of which investigation was that I ascertained that so far from Shain owing only $£4000, his liabilities ran up to over £30,000, and, to far from his assets being of the value represented 1o me, they were not worth more than balf thatvalue. Matters progressed smoothly enough until steps were taken by the attorneys for the credit- ors in the matter of the estate of Julius Schul- ken, in which estate Shain wes the assignee, | to compe! him to_account for the money col- lected by him. Shain's failure to account for the money handled in this matter created a great deal of comment and was ventilated in the pepers. He was subsequently removed from the assigneeship, and he looked upon these Schulken creditors as his most danger- ous In his anxiety to secure them he implored me to disposeoi certain claims,in which he had only a contingeunt interest, and would have sacr d his other creditors and disposed of hat he did not own, ha: scted on his en- treaties. The discovery of the extent of Mr. Shain’s lisbilities and” of the meagerness of his assets showed us that it was absolutely imp e to extricate him so that he could continue in business in accordance with tke programme which had been 1aid down between us. Mr. Shain, contrary to his promise to absent him- self three months, returned to the City secretly about the beginning of August, when Mr. Beals and myweli had many and various inter- views with him, the result'of which wes that we informed him that we could not work for him any longer; that all we could do was to endeavor to save him from arrest and wimtd up his affairs and pay the moneys recsived there- from to his creditors, and that we should sta: in business on our own account as a new part- nership, in all ot which he acquiesced. When in August, 1895, it became apparent that there wes nothing further we could do for him, we explained to him that we would be obliged to give the matier up, as it wa: possible to extricate him and as the wor us was intense. He then transferred the con- tents of the office to Mr. Beals and admitted that he had no further interest im the prop- erty. Since the transfer of said properiy to Mr. Beals I have heard from Shain & fe v times, but for some three months I have not seen nor heard of him until the 31st ult, when he called and made & demand that I surrender to him his books, papers and other property co! tained in our office, and also demanded an ac- countiug. I refused to comply with his de- | mand, except as o give him an sccounting, hich I will do, as I cons!der he is entitled to this, but nothing more. 1 consider his credi- tors have some volce in his affairs, and until am compelled to by order of the court I will im- HUNTERS ARE ENJOINED, Trespassers on the San Pablo Marshes Must Repair to Court.

A. Morrison Reads an Ex- haustive Essay on That Document, Ci The Doctrine as Understood To-Day Is More Comprehensive Than Monroe Declared. A. F. Morrison, under the auspices of the Mechanics’ Institute, read an exhaus- tive and interesting essay on the Monroe doctrine last evening. “The Monroe doctrine,” said he, “as it isunderstood to-day, issomething different from what it was at the time of its declara- tion by President Monroe. The .\Tom’neK declaration, aside from the political events | of a National sentiment which haa grown and developed among our people. But the Monroe doctrine as it is understood to- | day is much more comprehensive than | the simple declaration made by Monroe. It represents a larger growth and a further development. “What ihat doctrine 15 has never been authoritatively defined. Our understand- | ing of what it is and its scope must be | gathered from a history of our country and the declarations of our Presidents and other distinguished statesmen as prece- dents. ‘“‘As in the case of the ‘Balance of Power’ with Europe, we know that our Nation be- lieves that the maintenance of the Monrce doctrine is necessary to our safety and welfare, and like the ‘Balance of Power the doctrine seems to be flexible and elas: tic, and doubtless the scope of the a tion will, in a large measure, depend u the circumstances under which invoked. | “1t will be seen, therefore, that an in- | telligent understanding of this doctrine must be derived from a review of the| events which constitute its history. The speaker proceeded to ¢ plete and cemprehensive history of the doctrine from its incipiency to the present v, dwelling upon ali those events in National affairs that have seemed to re- pudiate, abandon or maintain 1t. “‘Thbe declaration of Monroe,” continued he, “did not mark any course of conduct to be pursued, but merely asserted tha: the interposition of the kind mentioned would be considered as dangerous to our peace and safety and as a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States, “This doctrine has never been indorsed by any resolution or act of Congress, but still remains the declaration of a President and his cabinet. “Nevertheless it is an eminently proper | anc patriotic doctrine, and as such has | been 1ndorsed by the people of the United States, and needs no other sanction. The people, not Congress, rule this country. *“What the remedy should be for foreign interposition the doctrine does not pre- tend to state. “The doctrine does not contemplate forcible intervention by the United States in any legitimate contest, but it will not permit any such contest to result in the increase of European power or influence on this continent. nor in the overthrow of any existihg government, nor in the estab- lishment oF a protectorate over it, nor in the exercise of any direct control over its policy or_institutions. ];‘)unhet than this NEW TO-DAY.
