THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 2%, 1896. 5 IT 1S NOT YET A WHITEWASH, Dissolution of the Brown Investigating Com- mittee. I FAILED TO TAKE ACTION It Declared Itself to Be Without Any Power in the Matter. REFERRED TO THE CHURCH. A Suggestion Made That the Matter Be Taken Before an Ecclesias- tical Council. The conduct of the Rev. Dr. C. 0. Brown, pastor of the First Congregational Church, is not to be investigated by the joini com- mittee of the Bay Association and the First Church. Such is the decision arrived at by the joint committee last night at the sug- gestion of Dr. Brown, despite the fact that the two separate committees comprising the joint committee were appointed about two weeks ago, one at the suggestion of Dr. Brown and the other by him, for the express purpose of speedily and thor- ougnly investigating the charges first made public by Mrs. Mary Abbott Davidson, now awaiting trial on the charge of having extorted $500 from the First Church's pas- tor. When Dr. Brown made his first utter- ance regarding the charges against him at the prayer-meeting on the evening of Wednesday, January 16, he said: “1 have asked the Bay Association, vhich has not the same ministerial mem- the Bay Conference, to appoint tee whose character will be above suspicion to canvass the evidence and to do that in connection with the standing committee of this church, and to makea report to the public, which they will be asked to accept till the close of this cas2 in done without the slightest one that there wasademand ny member of this church. have been reported to me that ad said something ought to be No one has approached me with demand that there shall be an investi- gation.

Second—We have found our brother eager to welcome and to assist in the most thorough investigation of his conduct; and as soon as the impediments now existing are removed by the conclusion of the legal trial he has assured us that he will ask the church to institute this investigation, assisted by an ecclesiastical council duly convened. Third—That in view of these things we pro- pose for ourselves, and we ask of all others, a Suspension of judgment in the case of Dr. Brown, and we hereby express our confidence in his integrity. Rev. Dr. . K. McLeen, chairman of the com- mittee, has been authorized to_submit this re- port to such members of the First Congrega- tional Church as are present at the prayer- meeting Wednesday night. This action of the joint committee places the whole matter before the members of the church, and they have the right to vote and_either accept or reject the report of the investigating committee, and to decide upon what further action shall be taken in the premises. Wednesday night’s prayer- meeting, thercfore, will have unusual in- terest. “A CANTING SCOUNDREL.” A Rather Pointed and COomical Farce at Grover's Alcazar. 2 The Grovers have made a hit with “A Canting Scoundrel.” This peculiar play that seems to be with- out an author and which at the same time has so much local color drew a packed house, and at the conclusion, as well as between the acts, created no end of com- ment regarding its purpose and evident meaning. As the piot goes Mr. Andrew Nixon, a nervous and excilable gentleman, played by Francis Powers, exhibits himself as a righteous and respectable financial pro- moter who leans heavily on the shoulder of the church and reels off sections from psalms and the catechism. He begins his Cnristian work by ‘‘financing’”’ George and Helen Woodleigh out of something like $20,000, which is but mere exercise for him; somethingin the nature of a pastime or like occupation, so to speak. The next play be makes is to fall upon one Osmond Allen, a retired theatrical man, and loot him of $40,000 for stock in what Mr. Nixon’s stepson calls the Anti-Alcoholic Mineral Water Company, that has a Mrs. Davidson for its Kastern representative and one Dr. Brown for a director. Mr. Nixon, while on a reforming expedi- tion along in the second act of the play, is suddenly exposed by his stepson, Mor- timer Snow, who discovers his picture in the Police Gazette n connection with a story about his getting tossed out of a resort by a strong and big-jointed woman upon whose cheek he had attempted to administer an Alameda kiss. Strangely enough, the picture in the sporting paper looks like him, and in the course of events the entire cast of characters, 1n- cluding Mrs. Nixon, knew the scandal | and the ““Canting Scoundrel” is frequently cut off in the middle of a Biblical quota- tion to be reminded of an escapade ut some beer joint. He sees that so far as he is im- mediately concerned he has got to prepare an effective defense or go down in a sea of gossip and suspicion. He attem pts to do this by figuring on the possibility of the gentleman at the resort being some “If there only was somebody who resembles me,” | he said, “‘then I could avert the impending calamity.”” 1 know what iy rights are in the case, shall proceed in_this matter on the | Il limits of my rights, as I do now in | cing the matter in the hands of the | ing committee appointed when no | ons had been aroused in the church— in asking that they shall take charge of | the documents and statements that affect | my reputation, and give forth to the com- ! munity such a statement as they may | deem proper to make public, withholding | such portions as might be improperly used.”” The session of the joint investigating committee held last night was its third, the two former having been devoted to prolonged “‘informal” and ‘‘general” dis- | cussions. And as a result of these delibe- rations, covering an_ aggregate period of | nine hours, the members came to the con- | on that it had no authority to ‘“‘either | convict or acquit, or even_to investigate,” and then determined to dissolve, which it did, after voting to refer the whole matter back to the First Church to-morrow night at the conclusion of the regular prayer- meeting. At last night’s three hours’ session there were present: Rev. Dr. J. K. McLean, Rev. Dr. G. W. Mooar, Rev. Dr. W. D. Williams, Rev. Dr. W. C. Pond and Rev. Dr. H. H. Wykof, representing the Bay Association; | Deacons D. Gilbert Dexter, J. J. Vascon- cellos, H. Hatch, A. J. Dewing, J. H. Barnpard, J. F. Merrili, T. H. Frank, D. W. Folger, George A. Westgate and W. Christiansen of the standing committee. It was the first and last meeting attended by Dr. Pond and Dr. Wykoff, and the at- tendance exceeded that of any preceding session. The first arrival at_the church, aside from Sexton Pike, was Detective Seymour. He had been requested to be present by | Dr. Brown to give his testimony in case | the programme that the accused” minister bad arranged was broken. He came fuily prepared to testify as he had done on the preliminary examination, carrying a bun- | dlg of documentary evidence under his arm. He came prompuly at 7 o'clock, the time stated by Dr. Brown. After he had been allowed to keep warm in the hallway leading from the Mason- street side entrance to the church for near- ly an hour by gently stamping his feet, swaying his form and swinging his arms as best he could with his burden of testi- mony to look after, Valentine, the son of | the gentleman under investigation, poked his head into.the hallway from the outer | darkness and, having made a rapid survey | of the situation, which included the sight of the patient detective, disa%peared. | Shortly afterward Sexton Pike emerged ! from the doorway leading into the prayer- | meeting room and invited Detective Sey- | mour into the prayer-meeting room, tak- | ing the precaution to lock the door ana thus presumably prevent any possible at- tempt of the reporters to organize and | carry on a select prayer-meeting of their | own in the prayer apartment. After the meeting that was in session in | the pastor’s office on the floor above had | dissolved, it was admitted that Pastor Brown had been in the building, but it | was positively stated that he was not pres- | ent during the meeting of the joint com- | mittee, and it was impossible to ascertain from any of the committee whether a se- | cret conference was in progress between Dr. Brown and Detective Seymour on the lower floor of the church while the com- mission was in session on the floor above. According to the statement of Secretary Barnard of the joint committee, 1ts action was_prompted by a suggestion made by the Bay Association committee, which in turn had, at a conference held yesterday afternoon with Dr. Brown, been guided in its acticn by the wishes of the pastor of the First Church. 2 . The report which the joint committee decided to make public is as follows: The committee having carefully canvassed the whole subject has come to the unanimous conclusion that it is unwise to enter upon any extended investigation, as is expressed in the foilowing statement: This joint committee, consisting of the standing committee of the First Congrega- tional Church and. special committee of tne Bay Association of Congregational Ministers, submits to the public the following statement bearing on the case of Rev. C. O. Brown, D.D., zgninst whom serious charges are current in the community : The commitiee of the association desires to be understood that it is not intrusted with any authority under the usages or according to the principles of the Congregational church to £ither convict or acquit or even to investigate. This is the function of the local church, ,‘ue? at its own request by an ecclesiastical uncil. The standing committee of the church, while it recognizes the fact that it is its duty 1o take the initiative in this as in ail matters of church discipline, yet asks the sttention and carefnl consideration of the public to the following facts. and the committee of the ;.:;eo::i ion indorses most earnestly this re- First—There are possible contingencies in the processes of the ‘Superior Court in which a | reputacion behind him. The evidence, however, is too convinc- ing and his misfortunes are increased by another wife, who rises out of the pastand pounces upon himn, whereupon he takes a steamer for Honolulu and leaves his Previous to de- parting, however, he is forced by Osmond Allen to restore the Woodleighs their 20,000. which he does reluctaniy and with the dramatic announcement that Osmond Allen is “blackmailing him out of his small savings and doing him up | brown.” Altogether the play is one of the best things the Grovers have put on at the Al- cazar, and, with a few changes, will be one of the most successful drawing cards at that theater. There is considerable love- making outside of the regular plot by the eminent and _respectable Mr. and Fannie Young, as Mrs. is one of the best characters the boards. George Woodleigh, the part handled by Clyde Hess is character- istic of the young man who has a poor sis- ter, while May Noble, as the impoverished relative, maies all that is possible of her on | part. The play suggesis a great many Jocal in- cidents, and deals rather pointedly with that class of men who are Christians for what there is in it. THE GALS LIE FRECH, At Least They Are More Ad- dicted to Learning It Than Boys. Progress Marked Last Year by the Society for the Instruction of That Polished Language. Daniel Levy, president of the Alliance Francaise, expressed regret at the annual meeting in Union-square Hall last evening that there was not a larger number pres- ent, as he considered the purpose of the organization one deserving of attention and interest of parents. The Alliance Francaise is a branch of the parent institution establishea in Paris, France, for the purpose of giving instruction in the French language in the French coloniesand in foreign countries. Mr. Levy, in presenting his annual re- vort, in which he reviewed what had been done in the past year, stated that at the beginning of that year the alliance had but four classes; that, after consultation, the | organization obtained from the Board of Education permission to open classes in various school buildings after school hours, with the understanding that no fees should be charged the pupils who de- sired to learn the French fimgnage. The organization now has classes in the Wash- ington, Whittier, Hamilton, Denman, Hearst, Crocker, Horace Mann and the Le Conte schools, with an aggregate of 322 pupils, of which 46 boys and 69 girls are French or of French extraction, and 47 boys and 160 girls are not of that na- tionality. . The president stated that the organiza- tion is maintained by voluntary and monthly contributions. and that every head of a family whose child or children attend any of the classes must be mem- bers of the organization, contributin, whatever their means will permit. Wit the money thus ottained the teachers are paid. The teachers, he said, are all compe- tent, and the teaching has been satisfac- tory. He also stated that it is a remark- able fact that the girls like the study of the language much more than the boys. A. Bousquet, financial secretary, pre- sented his report, which shows that the money contributed by parents of pupils did not in the aggregate come within $540 50 of the amount of the salaries paid teachers. The deficit was made up from contributions and the monthly dues of other members. The association has now a little over $1100 on han The meeting adopted a constitution read by Secretary A. Goustiaux. D. Levy, A. Bousquet, A. Bozio, E. Raas, A. Aron, A. Dehayes, J. Michel, E. J. Du- puy, A. Goustiaux, J. Godard and Charles Marais were elected the executive commit- tee for the ensuing year. e - Sturgeon-fishing is unusually good in the Columbia River this season, and some rreuy big fishes have been caught in the ast week or two.

WARM NIGHT AT THE CLUB President Eaton Would Be Pleased to See a Copy of the Amateur Rules. The investigation committee of the Pa- cific Amateur Athletic Association, con- sisting of John Eliiott of the Olympic | Club, W. Berry of the Reliance Club and | W.F. Humphrey, president of the associa- tion, met last evening at the Olympic Club to continue the investigations of athletes who have been charged with professional- ism. As THe CALL representative was on his way to the meeting-room he met the presi- dent of the Olympic Club, Mr. Eaton, and held a short interview with that gentle- man on the subject at issue. Regarding the manner in which the offi- cers of the association conducted business, this is what Mr. Eaton had to say, and there was good sound logic in_bis words: “*We—I mean the Olympic Club—" said Mr. Eaton, “cannot very well understand what the Pacific Amateur Athletic Asso- ciation intends we should do in this mat- ter of prize offering. 1 have been told by some one that the Olympic Club, to re- main a member of this Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, must abide by its laws, *This may be all well and good, but how are the officers of this club going to | regulate athletic matters with a view of keeping within the laws of the so-called union when they are ignorant of the | rules? | “I for one do mnot know positively | whether an athlete should receive a $35 or | 2 $100 prize in case he proves a successful | competitor in a boxing match or a wrest- ling tournament. “‘The officers of this Pacific Association have been hauling us over the coals from time to time for doing things that they coutend are contrary to rule; but how are | we to know right from wrong when we have no rules to guide us? 1 have fre- | quently asked the gentlemen of this Pacific | Association for a book of laws| by which this club can place ‘ itself in a clear light whenever | disputes arise regarding amateur affairs, | etc., but my request has proven futile and | possibly we may have, under the existing circumstances, “transgressed some of the | lawe of the Amateur Union. 2 I hope this thine will be settled quickly | and that this club will understand its posi- tion as regards its standing, athletically speaking, with the governing powers.” Al Lean, who is an instructor in the | Reliance Club of Oakland, said, in answer | to questions, that he was acquainted with | the amatenr rules of ten years ago, but did | not know anything about the rules of the | present day. He confessed that during a visit of the Butte City football team he | offered kentress and Williamson a $35 prize, which meant an order_for anything they pleased to that value, if they would | wrestle before the club. ol Fentress said to an officer of the Pacific | Association on leaving the Olympic Club at a recent meeting that he was offered a $37 50 trophy to wrestle. In fact he ad- mitted that the prize be wrestled for was in value more than the amateur associ- | ation allowed. | James Lawlor admitted that he had con- | tested on two occasions for prizes that | consisted of clothes and medals under the colors of the Acme Club. W. Kennedy, the superintenaent of the Olympic Club, when questioned said that the only member of the Olympic Club | baseball team he had given money to was Cooney, and that the baseball team which played against professionals was contest- ing as an individual team and not as a representative of the Olympic Club; that | he had not seen a copy of the rules that | govern amateur athletics, and conse- | quently did not know that his Colts were | overstepping the amateur traces. | Frank Smith, the boxer, said that he | was not a representative of a boxing com- bination which demanded a certain | monetary consideration before any of its | members wounld consent to box at ama- teur entertainments. | Kennedy cross-questioned Smith re- | garding prizes, and the latter finally ad- mitted that he would box for a $75 prize if such an inducement was offered him. 1 Smith also allowed that he received §40 | for training expenses, which is, of course, | contrary to rule. The result of the investigatitions has so far proven that very little respect has been shown amateur ruling on this coast. What course the Pacific Association will take in the matter is only a mere conjec- ture, but it has been hinted that the trans- gressors of the amateur rules will be given | to understand that severe judgment will be meted out to those who will so far forget themselves in the future as to disobey the rules of the amatevr union. The investi- gations will be resumed on Friday evening next. INTELLECT MWD BEAUTY. These Were Charmingly United Yesterday at the Philomath Club. A Fashionable Audience Attends the Open Meeting Held in Beethoven Hall. | The white and gold ornamentation of Beethoven Hall made a fitting background for the throng of fair and fashionably dressed women that gathered yesterday afternoon to attend the annual open meet- g of the Philomath Club. There was perfume of roses in the air and the rustle of a hundred exquisite toil- ets of silk. The meeting was opened by the presi- dent, Mrs. I. Lowenberg, who said: ‘‘When the Greeks celebrated their na- tional festivals not only did they have ath- letic games, but music and poetry, and philosophers discussed their theories and artists exhibited their productions, and there existed intellectual sympathy. Noth- ing creates and intensifies the bonds of ixlnallactnu sympathy more than literary clubs. ‘“There are as many paths to human de- velopment as there are stars. Everything must converge to the path of truth and all literary clubs—especiaily the Philomath —should encourage the following of eter- nal truths and be lovers of learning in its m}ieut alelgxe." e i The y spoke eloquently at some length and was applauded by her hearers. The regular programme was then ren- dered beginning with a vocal solo, “Sing On,” which was charmingly sung by Mrs. J. M. Rothchild. The audience at the conclusion of this number was demon- strative in its desire for an encore, but the president announced that owing to the limited time of the meeting encores would have to be dispensed with. Mrs. A, L. Lengfield read an interestin essay on “Fads,” in which she uhowe§ that fads were as ancient as_humanity it- self. The Greeks had their Olympic games, Wo have our horse shows and | | with the running races. other sports which are closely analogous to the fads of antiquity. Among the ath- letic fads of women croquet was the pio- nieer; then followed archery, which gave lace to tennis, and now this fad has in its_turn been set aside for the bloomers and the bicycle. 3 The reader mentioned fads in every phase of life, showing how all inflnenced our lives in a greater or less degree, and that all served us indices to the transient moods of generations. Mrs. A, fsrown followed with a vocal solo entitled “The King’s Minstrel.” The martial character of the song was strik- ingiy interpreted by the performer’s rich voice. A delightfully entertaining paper was read by MissR. Abel on “Ci‘lild hPl:etches From Life,”” in which she sweetly and raphically described scenes from the Fives of little men and women with whom she had come in contact. The procramme concluded with an essay on “The End of the Century Ficuon,”’ read by Miss A. Falkenstein. “The paper gave evidence of considerable thought. The reader spoke of modern fiction ina decidedly optimistic strain, saying that through all the fiction of this latter end of the century there runs a stream of noble purpose that tends to elevate and shadows forth an era that is soon to obtain a liter- ary perfection hitherto undreamed of. NEW TROTTING TRACK. Alameda Horsemen About to Construct One Near the Mouth of the Estuary Across the Bay. A trotting track for trotting races is to be built near the end of the narrow-gauge pier at Alameda. This has been rendered necessary by the fact that the tracks in San Francisco are controlled by running horse associations and the trotting-horse men have been entirely crowded out. The movement for the new track has been under way some time. Those most interested are members of the Alameda Driving Club. None of the horsemen on this side of the bay are as yvet in on the scheme, though A. A, Cohen, the vice- president of the Pacific Coast Trotting- horse Breeders’ Associatior, who isalso a member of the Alameaa Driving Club, is one of its most active promoters. Although ail the arrangements have not yet been perfected there is no doubt of the track being built and that soon. When work is to be commenced has not yet been announced. Fred Perry, the secretary of the Pacific Coast Trotting-horse Breeders’ Association, was very enthusiastic about the proposed new track last might and was quite sure it would prove a paying invest- ment. “The site is very desirable,” he said. *It is so near the mouth of the estuary that boats couid come within a few hundred feet of it. This would bring the track within about twenty minutes of the ferry and twenty-five minutes of the Palace Hotel. That's nearer than the Bay Dis- trict track even, and a trip there would be much pleasanter. “Thomas H. Williams Jr. of the Califor- nia Jockey Club has offered to let our asso- ciation have the Bay District track for a meet at any time that would not interfere This is very kind of him. But the stalls are so full of run- ning horses and the track is kept so busy by trainers that the trotting men have not seen their way to accept the offer advan- tageously yet.” Mr. Kelly said incidentally that there would probably be a ‘rotting meet in this City this spring. Mr. Williams was talk- ing about devoting a fortnight at the Bay Djstrict to the trotters. Nothing is defi- nitely known and no purses have been de- cided upon. The meet will probably come off late in May or early in June. SLASHED N THE NECK, Result of a Dispute in a Saloon on Sixth Avenue and D Street. The Bartender in a Hospital and Jockey Madison a Fugitive From Justice. Blood . was drawn in the Richmond saloon, Sixth avenue and D street, on Sunday night, and as a result Hugh Mur- phy, the bartender, 1s in the French Hos- pital and Jasper Madison, a colored jockey, is a fugitive from justice. R. B. Milroy, secretary of the Bay Dis- trict Tract, and a number of frienas, in- cluding Madison, were in the saloon drinking at his expense. When it came to settling up atout 11 o'clock a dispute arose between Milroy’s friends and the bartender as to a $5 gold piece. They de- clared that Milroy had thrown up a $5 gold piece over the counter, but the bartender insisted that it was only a silver dollar. Milroy’s friends got excited and boister- ous, and Murphy stepped from behind the bar to calm them and explain, when Mad- ison jumped toward him and drew a razor or knife across the right side of his neck. The effect was electrical. The crowd stampeded and Murphy was taken to the French Hospital. The doctors found that although the cut was long and deep it was not fatal. 2 Policemen Mulcahey and Burkholder heard of the affray shortly afterward, but when they made inguiries they could learn nothing as there was an apparent desire on the part of every one to prevent the facts from being made public. By dint of perseverance they ascertained that the bartender had been cut in the neck by Madison, a colored jockey, and he had been taken to the hospital. They were unable to_learn his name and on going to the hospital the physicians declined to permit them to see him as he required absolute quiet. The officers reported the meager infor- mation they had gathered to the Central police station and Captain Spillane was notified to be on the lookout for Madison as he was believed to have taken refuge somewhere in his district. He has not yet been captured. Madison has a National reputation as a jockey and at one time rode the winner of the Americar Derby. If arrested he will be charged with assault to murder. CHINA INLAND MISSION, Interesting Address at Y. M, Hall by the Rev. John McCarthy. The Rev. John McCarthy delivered a most interesting address on Protestant missionary wotk in China atthe Y. M. C. A. building yesterday afternoon. The Bible school, which was holding its first after- noon meeting, formed a large proportion of the appreciative auditory. The reverend gentleman dwelt at some length upon the privations and dangers endured by the colporteurs of the China Inland Mission in their endeavors to con- vert the pagan inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom. r. McCarthy is well known, both in this country and in England, for his energetic and successful labors in the foreign missionary field, C. A. More of Clarke’s Notes.

Logan Takes His Third Handicap Within a Period of Four Days. SAM LEAKE WON GALLOPING. Lucky Dog and Highland Both Let the Talent Down Hard—A Long De- lay at the Post. That game old racehorse Logan won ont in the driving rain yegterday, and trudg- ing along perseveringly in the slushy going annexed another purse for his owner, making his third consecutive victory within a period of four days—all handicap events. The distance yesterday was a mile, and Logan shouldered topweight, 114 pounds. Sam Doggett had the leg up, and he was an even-money chance in the betting. There were only three other starters in the race—Little Cripple, Alvarado and Gratify, The Jatter horse, second choice in the bet- ting, led to the far turn, where Doggett beat the favorite to the front, and steadily opening up a gap of daylight, passed the wire an essy winner, three lengths ahead of Gratify. Logan isa remarkable horse and the victory was the most popular one of the day, the old fellow having established himself a warm favorite with the Califor- nia race-going public. The association was benetited to the ex- tent of $100 or more in the way of fines by the opening event ot the day. There were twelve starters in the affair, a five-furlong dash, and over an hour was consumed at the pcst before the wrathy starter could drop his flag to anythlng lke a fair start. ‘When the red bunting finally did fall Catch ’Em, heavily backed at 6 and 8 to 1, was away in front and won pulling up. The bookmakers said there was nothing but Catch ’Em money in sight during the betting. The attendance was fair, but the bettin, was light. Three favorites, two secon choices and an outsider proved successful in capturing purses. oe Harvey’'s miniature merry-go- round continues to be a strong drawing card, competing with the real racing for public patronage. Itis only a question of time when the bookmakers will protest against the running of this illegal game. The reputation of the get of imp. Darebin as mudlarks was upheld by the 2to 1favorite Sam Leake in the second event, at six furlongs. He ran Perhaps to a standstill the first part of the journey, and, passing him in the_stretch, won gal loping by three lengths, in the fast time of 1:16. Pearson also passed the tiring Per- haps, taking the place. Lucky Dog and J. Walker added age to the talent in the mile-and-fifty-yard run. The big brown horse was heavily backed at even money and after Walker had man- aged to hold his head up until the stretch was reached he grew weary and let it drop and the dollars of the anxious multitude dropped with it. Hidago then won by a length and a half, driving, from Red Glen, witn the favorite third. Bookmaker Barney Schreiber’'s High- land, backed from 11 to 10 to 7 to 10, put another noticeable crimp in the crowd’s bankroll in the fifth race over the short six-furlong course. The. mare was never able to take the lead, finishing a good sec- ond to the 3 to 1 second choice, Summer- time. o R ., “THE CALL” RACING CHART. sl Sloppy. xteenth Dlg.ol the Winter Meeting of the California Jockey Club.

Fr Tuck-Sis to R ; Bl uth Rye A cheap five-furlong dash concluded the day’s racing. Ashland Eclipse, the even- money favorite, took the lead soon after the flag fell and won easily, with Harry O finishing in the place. Track and Paddock Items, Joseph A. Murphy, one of the Ingleside track officials, occupies C. E. Trevathan’s place on the stand at the Bay District during the latter’s absence in the East. John Mullins, an Eastern horseman, who owned that famons little horse Badge during his racing career, was an interested spectator at the races yesterday. Jockey Si McClain™ was questioned by the judges in regard to the rather weak ride he putupon Alvarado. W. B. Siuk Jr., owner of the horse, is also interested in the Baldwin club, and that concern’s sheet on the race was called for. The sheet showed that the booking firm had held the horse out and there was appar- ently no intention at fraud. SUNDAY COURSING. Tempest Beat Dashaway in the Final at Casserly & Kerrigan’s Ocean View Park, Sunday’s storm of rain and wind did not keep the coursing enthnsiasts from their favorite sport, and several hundred fol- lowers of the leash turned out at both parks to watch the longtails run. At Casserly & Kerrigan’s Ocean View Park the running pleased a crowd of obout 200 people, the short-enders running often enough to keep the audience in good humor.
