The favor- | ites fared the worse for the splashing; but two out of the six coming into any great prominence. { Even though the weather was too damp | for pleasant traveling without an umbrella accompaniment there was no notable diminishment in the attendance, and | speculation was lively on all of the differ- | ent events. | That enigmatical performer, Montalvo, furnished the startling surprise of the day, defeating a fine field of mudlarks in the last race, at odds of 20to 1. As gcod as 11 to 10 was offered against Loui; s Kamsin, the favorite for the opening five and a furlonz dash, although as post time drew near the money went in on him, and 3 to 5 was not plentiful. He ran circles around nis field and won as he pleased. In a drive Wyoming took the place from Mt. McGregor 11 by three parts a length. With the mile dash that followed began | the upsets. From 7 to 5, Little Jimmie was speedily backed down to even money of | e —— :coin on his_chances at 6 ; was beaten out rather handily by Hazard. | ered, she won galloping from Pecksniff, start for some time. They were finally sent away to a fair start. Swinging into the backstretch, Piggott sent Fred Gardner out and he spread-eagled hisfield, winning by ten lengths from Ike L. The favorite finished in the show. s 3 Another very warm favorite met with defeat in the third event, a six-furlong run. Ferris Hartman carried a world of to 5, and after leading until a sixteenth from the wire the well-backed second ctioice. Trappeau, 2100to 1 chance, finished an ordinary third. Ed Corrigan’s grandly bred youngster Tenacity was just as warm a choice for the mile and a sixteenth as were her two pre- decessors. The bookmakers laid 11 to 10 against her and considered it a bet of gen- erosity. Ransom wasa stationary 8 to5 second choice. Hy Dy, Dungarven and Sir Walker were the only other starters. The second choice Ransom was in front easily from the favorite by three lengths. Dungarven was a good third. From 7 to 5, the odds against B. C. Holiy's May McCartby were soon forced down to 9 to 10 for the fifth race, and the mare won by herself. Drawing away from Uncertainty after a quarter had been cov- a 20 to 1 charce. by four lengths. Catch Em, the strongly backed second chance, was away none too well, but showed no speed whatever. The six furlongs was covered in 1:204. The California stable’s good mud-run- ner Realization, who started in the last event on the card, also asix-furlong sprint, was looked upon as one of the cinches of the day and_was heavily played at 7 to 10 and 4 to 5. Boreas, with 2 to 1 about him, was the one expected to give the favorite a race. One-eyed Pescador caused con- siderable of a delay at the post. When the flag finally sent them away the favorite, away second, raced out in front with the 20to1 shot Montalvo at his heels. Less than a furlong from home the outsider had | the favorite in trouble, and gradually forging ahead, beat him out very cleverly by half alength. Boreaswasa good third. Track and Paddock Items.

No washouts occurred as re- ported, but in places the sand washed over the track, impairing travel. | Fred Gardner, the winner of the second | race, who runs in the name of . M. Tay lor, was bid up $200 over his entered sel ing price of $300 by Chariey Quinn. His owner retained him. Pescador was on his bad behavior and | was left at the post. Sam Doggett had the mount on him. R. Doggett was seen up for the first time at the meeting astride Walter J. He tried to get a running start with the colt, but | the field did not wait for him and he got considerably the worst of the breakaway. Some months ago Tigress, owned by | Waliter Hobart, won a selling race at the | Bay District track and received a_good substantial *boost” from B. C. Holly. Yesterday May McCarthy, owned by Mr. Holly, won a selling event entered to be | sold for $400. H. H. Hunn, trainer for Mr. Hobart, bid the mare up to $1000, at which figure her owner let her go, and she will hereafter sport the young millionaire turf- man’s crimson and gold colors. Montalvo’s win yesterday was such a startling reversal of form over his performance on Wednesday that at the conclusion of the races the stew- ards, after an investigation, decided to accept no more entries from his owner, J. Cochran. The case will receive a most thorough investigation and if other parties were interested in the horse’s pe- culiar performances they, too, will come | in for a ruling as well as Jockey Earl | Cochran, who has ridden Montalvo in his | different races. The horse was backed | down several points after reaching 20 to 1 yesterday. Wednesday at 2} to I he was | a drug on the market. | Catch Em, the heavily backed second | choice for the fifth race, ran a wretshedly | bad race. He was away from the post | none too well, which possibly accounted for | his poor showing. At that he isa horse | with a fine turn of speed and is generally | sentat the front some part of the journey. | Monterey, who started in the fifth race, was overburdened with speed yesterday. While the horses were gailoping to the post he broke away in front of the grand stand and circled the track before little Reidy could pull him up. Mantell is a very hanay horse in slushy | going and why his stable put up.a boy of Stufflet’s caliber when he was in at such a favorable weight is a mystery. The rinz‘ laid all sorts of prices against him. Barly in the day it was rumored that in event of the horse’s winning Leo Mayer intenced | bidding him up. | CHINESE LETTER-THIEVES, Mail From Postoffice Boxes Stolen by a Gang of Young | Mongolians. Bold and Smooth Work by Which | Sam Yick and His Associates Pilfered About $2000. Four young Chinese, if not more, have been operating together for sev- | | eral weeks past in a systematic scheme | of Postoffice thievery. They have man- aged to pilfer the mail of quite a number | of local Chinese firms from their boxes in | the Postoffice and so far as can be ascer- | tained have got away with an aggregate | sum approximating $2000 by their mi: appropriation of the checks and mone; orders inclosed in the letters of their vic- tims. A few days ago the Postal Inspectors re- ceived information pointing to the bold but smooth work of the thieves. It had been thought all along that the letters were being stolen by some one of the Post- office attaches, but an investigation soon vroved that such was not the case. Soon after learning of this scheme of looting and the character of the offenders a Chi- nese named Hue Tin Foo was arrested a beine one of the gang. He was allowed by the Inspectors to go at large, however, on a sort of parole, upon his promise to co- operate with the Federal authorities in bringing his accomplices to justice. The particular man the officers were after isone Sam Yick, the downtown rep- resentative of Man Lee & Co., a Dupont- street concern. Hune Tin Foo was em- ployed by the firm of Man Yick & Co., whose butcher-store is also on Dupont street. Another member of the gang very given the name of Fong Sam Yick was the leader of the China onthe steamer Peru to-day Messrs. Munro and Thrall, the Postal Inspectors, were indulging the hope of being able to catch him as soon as he attempted to board the steamer. But the wholesale larceny of the Postoffice boxes had become the talk of Chinatown by yesterday morn- | ing, and the efforts of ‘the authorities t. keep their plans secret until Sam Yick's | arrest were defeated by the publicity given | to the matter by the gossiping Chinese. Sam Yick and bis companions in crime are all now in hidiag in Chinatown and | their concealment may baffle the officers for a time. | The firms who have suffered the most are Fong Hai & Co., Chong Wing Nan Kee and Chew Ying Lung. Fong Hai & Co. say they have been robbed of at least $500, and perhaps more. They were the first to learn that they were loosing valna- ble letiers—at any rate, letters containing money which should have come did not come. The first indication of this was about three weeks ago when they noticed that some of their mail had evidently been extracted from their box—how, they were ata loss to explain, so mysterious was the disappearance of the letters which they should have received from their country customers. | One of the pilferers themselves gave the | scheme away. He boasted to a friend that he had succeeded in taking letters from a | mail box and found the act a profitable | one. Thereare two theories in explana- | tion of their methods—one that they had | obtained keys fitting the boxes of their victims; another that, having the keys of | the firms by whict they were employed, | the thieves would open’ their boxes and | then reach around to the rear of the other boxes and take whatever mail was obtain- able. Subsequently they would open the letters and cash the checks and money | orders, forging the names of the payeces. Man Lee & Co. havea box in the Postoffice. | A Bank of California check was thus cashed, and a Montgomery-street money- broker cashed a check for $500. At one store a $25 suit of clothes was purchased, a check for $100 beinz received by the store in payment and the Morgolian customer etting $75 back in good money. In Sam ick’s particular case a complaint was drawn up against him by Assistant United | States District Attorney Bert Schlessinger, charging him with forging the name of a Chinese firm, as payee, to a Postoffice money order. It may have been that Hue Tin Foo, whom the inspectors were using to effect the capture of the entire gang, played false, and took advantage of uis cppor- tunity to aporise his confederates. He is still under surveillance. { Sam Yick is very well known around the | Custom-house and in business circles. He | speaks very good English, having been educated in the public schools of this City. The others were also fairly well educated and had the appearance of nice young na- tives. Lately they have been spending money pretry freely. | FUNERAL OF THE RUINED MAR.

The remains of W. C. Rippey were laid to rest in Cypress Lawn Cemetery yester- day. The clouds lowered upon a shivering handful of people, who looked with solemn faces upon the coffin as 1t was placed in the new-made grave. If Wesley Rippey ever gave a thought in his palmy days to his prospective obsequiss 1t was of a scene far more imposing. My life has been a huge joke,” he was wont to say in his latter days, and if his spirit took cog- nizance of the pitiable spectacle yesterday it may have regarded it as the finale of that poor joke. Many viewed the remains as they lay in the undertaking parlors of H. C. Porter & Co., at 122 Eddy street, on Tnursday and Friday mornings. Many who came were strangers, who were moved by curiosity. A few were old-time friends. =There were ahout fifty personsin the un- dertaker’s parlors when John Rix, the teacher and leciurer, who had known the dead man for many years, spoke a few fit- ting words of farewell. He spoke of the good qualities of the d: parted and de- erous in his prosperity should die in pov- erty. The choice of a speaker and mode of service was made by the widow in ac- cordance with the views of the dead man, who, although he is said to have esteemed Christianity, had a deep-rooted aversion to men of the cloth. Mrs. Bessie Rippey, the widow, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas O’Connor, her daughter and son-in-law, and her friend, Mrs. Emma The funeral expenses were paid by the widow, who, aithough there was no divorce, has been separated from Rippey for nearly fifteen years. I seemed to be the only iriend who was ling to do that last office for the dead,” | said Mrs. Rippey. She is a small woman | of perhaps £5 years of age, whose conver- sation betokens an unusnal degree of re- finement. She spoke kindly of the unfor- tunate man. *We have always been friends, notwith- standing our separation,” she said. ‘“‘He | called on us Friday and seemed in good bealth and spirits. He said if all went well he would go to the mines in South | Africa in the spring. He said at that time that his life was a huge joke, and he be- lieved he bhad got no more than he | deserved. I want to correct the impression that | Mr. Rippey died in want. His room on Natoma street was clean and comfortable. His landlady’s last act for him was to take him a cup of warm milk a few hours before his deatt.. He had friends on Bush street who would provide him with meals at any clothing provided by friends, He was an | object of charity, in a sense. Yes; but he | did not lack the necessaries of life on that account. “Mr. Rippey and I were married in Denver in 1876. He was then well-to do. Two years later we moved to San Fran- cisco, when our troubles began through | his joining the Stock Board. Stock-gam- bling became a mania with him. He at- tributed his losses to the fact that wrong | inside information was given him by | Mackay’s broker. “I believe e had a just grievance against | the millionaire, and, with many of his | friends, my only regret is that be did not finish him. If he had killed Mackay the | verdict would have been aifferent. But | the rich man's influence and power counted. Mr. Rippey has never expressed regret for what he did. He said he had | tried repeatedly to gaip an audience with | Mackay, hoping he would make some restitution for his losses. He was stung to | the qui when he ignored his greeting | when he met him on_the street, and his | rage found expression in the shot, which | unfortunately did not prove fatal. “Mr. Rippey and I separated because of his stock-gambling craze. I livea in Den- | ver nine years after our separation, and the past five years have been living at | Seattle. I supported myself and daugh- | ter, now Mrs. O'Connor, by dressmaking | and keeping a rooming-house. I moved | here in ({)cmner with Mr. and Mrs, O’'Con- | nor, and shall probably stay. Mr. Rippey | has two sonsin Cincinnati, but I do not | know their address. | “All our unhappiness was caused by stocks. Mr. Rippey said this himself only a short time ago. ‘Bessie,” he said, ‘all my trouble has come through stocks. T lost you and my money on account of} them." "’ | Mrs. Rippey was a Mrs. Vennum before | her second marriage. Her maiden name | was Risley. Her only child wasa Miss Vennum. They live at 1003 Powell street. Professor Jordan Says the Mind | Is Composed of Contradic- tory Things. The Art of Living Merely the Art of Holding Oneself To- gether. Notwithstanding the rain ana the wind a fairly large audience last evening heard | the lecture by President David Starr Jor- dan of Stanford University on, *“The Kvolution of the Mind.” The lecture was delivered at Golden Gate Hall under the auspices of the California Psychical Society. The lecturer introduced his subject say- ing he did not class himself among psychologists, as they for the past twenty | years had been endeavoring to prove what | is not known. He confined himself to | what was alieady known and to the evolu- | tion of the function of the mind rather | than to the evolution of the mind itself. “In the first place,” said he, ‘“we have | to begin with certain things that seem to| be in the definition of life. Whatever life may be, there is always a certain degree of irritability. This irritabihty is of differ- ent degrees, and this phenomena of irrita- bility responds to outside stimule. ‘‘Also we have a phenomena of varia- tion. There are contrivances which pre- vent offspring from being precisely like the parents. Then we have the motive force of evolution—the tendency to change. *‘I shall make the definition of mind a very broad one, and by psychic phenom- ena in this sense I shall include the ner- vous system and also those phenomena thut come before the nervesdo. I speak of the nervous phenomena coming before the nervous system, and when we say the function precedes the systemwe find goodly illustration in that man scratched the ground before the plow was ever con- structed. ‘“‘The single cell of protoplasm is as complicated as the constitution of the United States, ““When we come to know and have the | meeting Wednesday even ng. ability to understand the mechaniem of the simple flower, then we might know all, but until then we can know little of anything.” Again the professor said: “The accumu- lated knowledge of the race, sifted by the commonsense of the race, is the founda- dation of science. . **All knowledge has for its ultimate ob- ject power and conduct. All forms are caleulated for doing something. “Knowledge laid up without being turned into action is a ‘I‘)urden. 1t spoils on our hands. The type, therefore, of the reflex action is also the type of all intellec- tual action. Conscious and unconscious action merges. I regard the mind as the sum total of all the various phenomena action. ‘‘Consciousness is not an entity; it is a phenoniena on a brain structure. “The e‘fo isan extremely contradictory thingand is the art of living, is the art of holding oneself together, these contradiction: FROM A CITY PITFALL. How Lawyer Daly Got His try Client Out of a Hole. John Conlon of Smartsville, Yuba County, literally got into a hete during the storm Toursday night, and his rescue was one of those enjoyable incidents seen once in years, or perhaps in a lifetime. Conlon, just in from the country, was laughing at an umbrella turned in the wind at Market and Montgomery streets when his hat parted company with him and made a black speck up at the tenth story of the Crocker building. From the umbrella his attention turned to the hat, which presently swooped downward like a falling rocket-stick down into an area of the Crocker building twelve feet below the sidewalk. As Conlon saw his hat fall he impulsively scrambled over the railing, and lowering himself by his hands dropped to the bot- tom. The nat was there in the wet and dark- ness—a little battered, but still in the arena, =o to speak, and Conlon put it once more upon the top of himself. It was much easier getting into that hole and re- covering the hat than returning to a level with all tnines mortal—just twelve feet higher up in the world. Daly wished his client good cheer and all manner of pleasant things in approved leiul style, but Conlon only prayed to be taken out of the hole. And the rain came down in torrents on the good and bad alike—even upon the man situated like Mr. McGinty. Lawver Daly took off his heavy ulster and forthwith proceeded to haul Conlon to the earth above. “‘Hoistaway!” came from below, and willing hands overhead began to pull on thecoat. Presently there came a crash-—Conlon had fallen” back- ward, with the two sleeves of the attor- ney’s coat in his grasp. By this timea large crowd had gathered around the area railing. “Is that you, McGinty?” asked. “I'm in a hole,” came back in ventril- oquist tones. And then the crowd got a rope from the Palace Hotel, and, with a pull altogether, hoisted the visitor from the depths. ————— Dr. Paul Gibler, who is atthe head of the Pasteur Institute in New York, contem- plates forming an invalids’ community near Tuxedo Park, which will embody some of nis advancea ideas of sociology, as well as in experimental and preventive medicine. notwithstanding Coun- some one SAN FRANCISCO <« CALL.” BUSINESS OFFICE of the San Franclsce CALL— 710 Market street, open until 12 o'clock every night in the year.
