> THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1896. ST, BRANDON WAS FIRST, Carried Top Weight in ‘the California Stake and Won Handily. CASPAR A SPEEDY YOUNGSTER. George Miller, the “Kansas City Hin. doo,” Won the Special Race for Sprinters. Witha day not unlike the hazy weather of an Indian summer in the Eastern States, visiting horsemen found it difficult to imagine that they were racing in tue midst of winter. It.was an ideal racing day,and the cars conveying passengers to Ingleside were crowded. The card was one of the best offered at the meeting. In addition to the usual routine of flat races the California stake for ‘‘leppers,” two miles over eight hurdles, with a guaran- teed value of $1200 to the first horse, was run. There was no apparent scarcity of coin, for the sixteen bookmakers in the big bet- ting-ring all did _a rushing business. Fa- vorites carried off the laurels in three out of the six events, and as the other winners all ran backed. the talent had a fairlysuc- cessful day of it. Four of the fields were dispatched by the Australian starting machine, and it is safe to predict that long, tedious delays at the Post are a thing of the ,past: The| en starters in the two-year-old event | sent av to a beautiful start in ex- actly two minutes. | The stake race was third on the card. | St. Brandon, carrving top weight, 165 pounds, was favorite in the betting at 9 to 5.

For the past week the Board of Heath has been halding a secret investigation of P. L. Weaver, superintendent of the Alms- house. He is charged with sins of commis- sion and sins of omission of a serious nature. The matter is being vigorously pressed by Drs. Hart, Morse and Fitzgib- {Jon, the three Democratic members of the board, who would like to see Ed Reddy, Governor Budd’s choice for the superin- tendency of the Almshouse, occupying the place now filled by Mr. Weaver. Dr. Williamson supports Mr. Weaver, who isa Republican. ~Alreaay Mr. Weaver has been questioned. He denies all the ALONG THEWATER FRONT. Three “ Wind-Jammers” Being Fitted Out for a Cruise to the Arctic. WHICH WILL BE THE WINNER? Captain Foley of the Gayhead Expects to Equal the Best Steamer Catch. Captain Charles H. Foley, who goes out in command of the whaler Gayhead, has received the best ““lay” of any officer who has yet shipped for the next cruise to the Arctic. He is one of the best-known masters on the water front, and during the last cruise of the old Bounding Billow he took eleven whales and thus established a record for a *wind-jammer.” Since then he has on several occasions been offered the command of asteam whaler, but he has invariably refused on the ground that his'luck was better in a sailing vessel. I will take my wife ana boy with me,” the several counties and tbat a sup- vlemental register will not meet the re- quirements of the law. The changes mentioned refer to the 1den- tification of voters and the marking of bal- lots by those who cannot read or write, or who are unable to mark their ballots by reason of physical infirmities. The present law in this respect differs from the old one in stating that the voters thus atflicted must_have that fact appear on the register. Formerly this wasnot necessary and the afflicted voter could have his ballot marked by one of the judges of election. $ The law provides that in all counties ex- cepting the City and County of San Fran- cisco Boards of Supervisors may order a re-registration before a general election. In San Francisco this must be done. On account of the amendments and changes Mr. Fitzgerald believes that re-registra- tion is now necessary in all the counties. WHERE BREAD IS MADE. The Labor Commissioner Has Exam- ined Many Very Filthy Bakeries. Shortly after Labor Commissioner. Fitz- gerald entered upon the duties of his office he made an investization of the bakeshops and bakeries of this City, with a view of learning of the condition of those who la- bored therein. Inorder to effect his pur- pose he was obliged to look into the sani- tary conditions. Many were found to be as neat as a pin, but they were principaily the larger institutions. The small baker- ies, as a rule, were sumply shocking. Ran ivae The Whaling Bark Gayhead, Which Captain Foley Says Will Make as Good a Catch as Any Vesse That Goes North This Year.

Captain Louis - Williams, her | owner. hassold an_interest in the vessel, and Captain C. F, Gifford will go out 1n | command. Captain Gifford is now the | principal owner, and intends taking the | yessel direct to the Arctic in search of | bowheads, Incidentally he will do con- derable trading. Like Captain Foley, Captain Gifford has been remarkably suc- cessful, and expects to do well in his new venture, The whaler Emma F. Herriman hasalso changed hands. Captain C. J. Jorgenson has purchased aer from John Magee Jr., and she will at once be placed in commis- sion, All three vessels will go out at about the same time, and as allare “wind- jammers” thereis considerable excitement along the front as to which will make the best catch. The steamer Gaeilic sailed for the Orient vesterday. Wong Say Yung, one of the women whom See Gee attempted to land, was returned, and sailed for Hongkong on the steamer. The other passengers were: For Yokohama—Dr. George L. Tait, Mrs. George L. Tait, L. C. Putnam, Henry Portal, Pierre Roussillier, Francis B, Peabody, Augus- tus F. Peabody, Edwin P. Bredbury, Goro Mori. For Shanghai—Mr. Feindel (Kaiser- licher Konsul), Dr. Lucy H. Hoag, Miss Laura A. Haygood, Miss Milife Munroe, For Hong- kong—E. J. Bates, E. R. Vail, Rev. Lewis Quick, Captain Felipe S. Meza. The Alaska Commercial Company’s Bertha arrived from Alaska yesterday. Captain Hayes is almost a cripple, as he fell and sprained both his ankies at Una- laska. Among the passengers were a crew of disheartened miners, who have very little to say about the result of theirlabors on the Yukon. The severity of the cli- mate, they say, was the cause of all their trouble. The gold was there sll right, but the ice and snow made work almost im- vossible. The Bertha brought a very large shipment of gold dust, consigned to Louis Sloss & Co. There was trovble at Broadway wharf when the steamer City of Puebla was dock- ing yesterday. The law says that runners shall not approach within' ten feet of the edge of a wharf at which a vessel is dock- ing, and the men overstepped che bounas. In cousequence, John Buckley, A, R. Da- ley, T. W. Brooks and Thomas Whalen were arrested by Sergeant Fitzgibbon and charged at the Harbor police station. The fightis a continuation of the old one be- tween the Pacific Coast Steamship Com- pany and the runners employed by Mor- ton’s Special Delivery. On this occasion it appears as though the runners would get the worst of it. RE-REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. Attorney-General Fitzgerald Has Ren- dered an Important Opinion. Attorney-General Fitzgerald has ren- dered an important opinion relative to reg- istration in the counties. It was given in response to a letter of inguiry from the District Attorney of Butte County, who wanted to know if it would be necessary for the voters to re-register before the next election, or if a supplemental register would meet the requirements of the law. Many such letters have recently been re- ceived by the Attorney-General. The latter is of the opinion that owing to certain important changes in the registra- tion laws of the State made by the lust Legislature it will be necessary for the Bourd of Supervisors throughont the State to order a re-registration of the voters in At the latter point | | health of those employed. materials being made into articles of food. The air in many of these places was so foul as to be an actual menace to the In not afew vlaces the workmen were obliged to sleep on the premises, in which, as a rule, sani- tary plumbing was unknown. A number of the operatives themselves were not in good health, as evidenced from the appear- ance of their cuticle. The original reports of these places, which were presented by the commission- ers’ field deputies, would have caused | almost all consumers of bread and pastry 10 bave made their own or gone without. However, those reports were never made public; but from what can be learned the adverse reports referred to the majority of the bakeries in this City. The Labor Commissioner warned the man- agers of those places to put their premises in order, but whether the bakers have done 50 or not is not learned. The Commissioner proposes to issue a! card, or certificate, to all who have com- plied with the sanitary laws, in order that the public may be informed of the char- acter of the places where they purchase their bread and similar food. FOR THE RESERVE. The Old Monitor Comanche Detailed for the Use of the Naval Battalion. Governor Budd last night received a piece of news from the Navy Department which will be glad tidings for the Naval Reserve of California. It is no less than the notification that the oid monitor Co- manche, now lying at Mare Island, would be turned ovér to the £tate authorities at the requisition of the Governor. This old vessel which has been in the stream off the navy-yard for many years, is a stanch craft, and if two modern rifles are put in her turret in place of the old 15-inch smoothbores she will be a useful practice monitor for the Naval Battalion. She has five inches of armor belt and her turret is ten inches in thick- ness, and she is no mean craft in a fight. Her length is 200 feet, with forty-five 1eet beam, apd she draws eleven feet of water. The engines are in good condition, and will drive her six knots an hour. MONOWAI ARRIVES. The Oceanic Steamship From Australia, New Zealand, Apia and Honolulu Slips Into Port This Morning. At 1 o'clock this morning the lookout at Point Lobos reported that the Oceanic steamship Monowzi was passing in the Golden Gate. The big steamship comes from Austra- lia, New Zealand, Apia and Honolulu. She is in command of Ca)ftain Carey. She was due at 10 o’clock Thursday, but no alarm was felt as to her belated appear- ance, as it was shrewdly believed that she had encountered head winds in her pas- sage across the Pacific. Berkeley Surprise Party. One of the pleasant events of the week was a. surprise party given to Mr.and Mrs, M. Mec- Douald of Berkeley by Neil Lindsay, the popu- lar Scotch piper, and a number of friends of San Francisco. Dancing and singing were the order of the evening. Among those present besides the host and hostess and their daugh- ters were the Misses McLeilan, Miss Sydney, Mr. and Mrs. Carnie, Mr. and Mrs. Grant, M{- and Mrs, M. Ferguson, Mrs. M.

OPPOSED TO THE FUNDING BILL. Eastern People Are for McKinley and Would Like Also to See Collis Put Up. George Raphael of the firm of Raphael Brothers has just returned from a four weeks’ business trip to New York. He ‘was seen at his residence last night by a representative of Tue CALy, and seemed to be extremely glad to get back. “When the train came over the moun- tains and I saw California just beginning to come into the spring months, I felt that I'was passing once again into the land of sunshine,” said Mr. Raphael. *‘When [ came. through Ohio a frightful blizzard was blowing, and it made me appreciate the comforts of California weather all the more. *From -a business standpoint, however, the East is brightening up a little, not- witbstanding the fact that they have bad a good many more failures there than we have had here, To a certain extent trade is slow, but not so weak as it has been. One thing I noticed particularly, and that was the strength of the mining business. It seems to be steadily improving, and Eastern capital is ready to invest in Cali- fornia gold-mining. The moneyed men of New York want such investments, and are reaching out in all directions for them. “Yes, the boud issue was looked upon'as a dubious proceeding, as it was feared that they could not be disposed of, but Morgan seemed to be ready to ‘gather the bondsin. There is a pretty good feeling East for Californians and they are wel- comed very warmly. New Yorkers are beginning to recognize San Francisco and this coast as a very considerable part of 1he United States, and the old method of looking upon California people as wila and woolly children of the West is a thing of the past. There are_a great many Western people in New York, and they are pretty generally successful. “You would be surprised to hear how very seriously the funding bill is consid- ered in the Eastern States. Lt is a constant theme of conversation on_railroad trains and at places where people from all the Union are likely to congregate, and not one man in & hundred is friendly to the | measure. The general impression is that | Huntington has had about enough of the blood of the West, and it is hoped that the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific will ass into the hands of the Government. learned shortly after my arrival that I | had been quoted in the Washington Post | as being very friendly to the funding bill | and had expressed the pelief that its | passage would be the best way out of the difficulty. I want it distinetly understood that I am opposed to 1t in any conceivable to see Huntington brought up to the issue and made to pay his deots to the Govern- ment. ‘“The Presidential boom is all for Mc- Kinley, Even in New York, which ought to be a Morton State, I found that the name of MeKinley was on everybody's lips. Reea is not discussed favorably to any great extent, nor is Allison. So far as the Democratic party is concerned, 1 | was unable to find anybody who wanted | to talk of it at all. Thereisa very large | disgust on in the East over the antics of Cleveland, and McKinley is looked upon as the logical candidate for the Repub- lican party and the most available man to lead the campaign. | “War talk is never heard and seems to | be confined solely to a few alarmists who are ready to howl at a moment’s notice. Business men generally consider war a bad thing, and it finds no place in the con- versation of Easterners.” HONOR T) ADAM SMITH. A Handsome Bronze Bust of Him Pre- sented to the Red Men. The bronze beroic-sized bust of Adam Smith, the founder in this State of the Improved Orcer of Red Men, was unveiled and formally presented to the Grand |y Lodge of that order last night in Red Men's Hall at 320 Post street. A. Andrews, the great prophet, deliv- | ered the invocation, following which there was an ode by a male quartet. C. F. Burgman, grand chief of records, read the report of the memorial committee, and Benjamin F. Josselyn, past grand sachem, made an address formally delivering the bust to the great sachem, A. Jackson, who unveiled the handsome piece of sculpture, which was draped with a garland of flow- ers, and presented it to the order. There was next a ‘‘song of exaltation” by a quartet, and then Davis Louderback de- Livered an eloguent eulogy on the man whose memory the order delights to honor. The bust is the product of Rupert Schmid, and will be placed in the vestibule of the Red Men’s building on Post street. e ————— Masked Ball of the Grutli Verein.
