10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1896. —v—-—————‘_——“—————_—'___— — ROMAN CHURCH AND CIVIL POWER, e Donald M. Ross Cites Author- ities on a Third Propo- sition. THE TALK GETS WARMER Doors Will Be Thrown Open | To-Night and the Books Presented. | | | WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH.| The Preacher Says He Has Made Dis- | coveries That Will Keep Him | in Combative Mood. ! Rev. Donald M. Ross undertook at Met- | ropolitan Temple last evening to prove the | third of the four propositions which he af- | firmed to be a part of the faith-doctrine of | the Catholic Church, and which are de- nied by Rev. P. C. Yorl The proposition | was that he Roman church has the right to exerc its authority without any limit set to it by the civil powers.” It was announced that to-morrow night the doors would be thrown open and the | public invited without cost. Further, that the books from which the citations have been made by Mr. Ross, and which cita- tions are charged by Father Yorke to be forgeries, will be produced for the examin- ation of any and all. ‘ Major H. Sherman whom Rev. Mr. selected as the lawyer to judge in his behalf upon the authorities presented, made,a shortaddress reaffirming his state- ments concerning the hanging of deserters found fighting against the United States at Cherubusco and all of whom he de-| clared were Irish Catholics, one of whom “ wore a Catholic medal. | Previous to the entrance of Mr. Ross, . A. Hubbell stated the conditions of the contest—that Father Yorke had issued a challenge; Rev. Mr. Ross, being a brave | man and confident of his premises, had ac- cepted, and now Peter C. Yorke had in | cowardly fashion taken to the woods. he entrance of Mr. Ross was greeted with prolonged applause, and he entered | directly upon his task, addressed to the proposition cited. At its conclusion he | said: “*Now I shall pay my respects to Pe- ter C. Yorke.” This cailed forth more sustained applause. In the morning papers,” he said, “you will find some poetry over the signature of Yeter C. Yorke.” [Laughter. ‘I shall not refer to th screed above the poetry noticed that I am Butin the you will have cailed a liar and a forger. I am glad he has fallen to the weak argument of cailing names. ButI am not a liar nor a forger. If 1 were there 13 a law whereby I might and should | be punisted. I am not afraid of that law. The court in this case—the lawyers ap- pointed to_judge of this issue—have® seen all my authorities—the books themselves— and they have been amazed at how abso- | utely honest I have been in giving the i text covering the subject and nota nere disjointsd paragraph. I have quoted from none but recog- nized textbooks with the stamp of ap- proval of the Catholic church. I will have these textbooks here to-morrow. Nay, more. We shall throw our doors open and invite any who will to come and examine them. *“This Roman church and Peter C.Yorke | have occasioned, in this matter of accept- ing and fulfilling my obligation in accept- | ing tlus challenge, an expense of about | §600. Peter C. Yorke has, by way of an- swering m rguments presented here, | called me a liar and a forger. The infamy of that man I never expect to meet in a human being. How dare he call me a liar when he has notlooked into the textbooks | I quote? “1 hbope if there be a Roman Catholic in the audience to-morrow night he will examine them if he does not demand that | Peter Yorke do so. 1 believe in the solemnity of an oath, and L am willing to take my oath to the correctness of my quotations. My difficulty has not been to secure autherities but to choose between them. The books are full of them, and ecially on tne first night I had more than I could read.

It means, therefore, that now and hitherto I have been living with her in sin. What an easy way of getting rid of one wife and of getting another. Much interest is being manifested uow in just such a case in Canada. Itis the first de- gree of divorce ever recognized by the Catholic church. Itisgranted to John Keith on the ground of adultery on the part of the wife, who was a Protestant. Ab, they are bad peo- {:'(* over there. But it happens to be the irthplace of Bishop Riordan. I believe he would like to be there just now. And by the way, I would like to know when and where he 100k out his first papers. When he was made Bishop, previous to assuming charge of the Property of the church in the diocese, he made oath that he was an American citizen. I would like to know when he became such, 1 assure you that it is no pleasure for me to perform this work that Peter C. Yorke has forced on me. Butsince I have entered upon it, and aiter having found out the things that 1 bave found out coucerning this church in the course of my investigations, I assure you that it is war to ihe death. Igive them notice to-night that I shall fight until my death. Iam not afraid of them, and & man might as well die with his boots on as any other way. 1f ever aman has been favored by fate—or whatever it might be called—I am that man in this matter. Some weeks ago I sent to Berlin for an_authority on this proposition. I have felt as Wellington is said to have felt at Water- loo praving for Blucher 1o come up. My Blucher arrived to-aa In. this morumr'l CALL I am charged by Peter C. Yorke directly with a forgery of the syllabus wherein I quote it as saying: < ““In & case of contlict between the ecclesiasti- cal nn% civil powers the ecclesiastical ought to prevail” Peter Yorke draws upon me what he calls the deadly purallel and gives as the reading of the original syllabus the following: ““In u conflict between the two powers the civil law prevails. Had I not received this book I would have | hed some difficulty in answering with author- | ity this statement of my adversary. But it came to hand, as I say, to-day. Itisa trans- lation not only of the syllabus authorized by the Pope, buta transTation of the meaning of the Pope in hisdenials of certain propositions. Here is the German for it: “In conflicte der gazetze belder gewalten geht, nicht dass weltlicke sacht vor.” The English of this 1s: “In conflict of the laws of both, the civil law does not preyail.” Does not that settie it? Now I am free of the whole world—perfectly just and fair to this man who never new fair- wess. Iamnot afraid of him—am not afraid | reflect on nis own practice. | by the sam | over to p | organization claims to be independent of any of the world in the speaking of what I know to be the truth. The address was as follow : B Your Honor, Ladies and Gentlemen: I shall | attempt this eévening to prove that the Roman | Catholic chureh claims to have the right to ex- | ercise its authority without any limit set to it | by the eivil powers. You will find this is the | first proposition which Father Yorke denies 2nd which he asserts I cannot find in Catholic publications to be tnallcnclhmg and dogma of h “atholic church. Y I;l:o;mgo( ‘fiefimwly understood to-night again, asit was last night, that I am not as- erting or attempiing to prove that the Roman Catholic chureh is wrong in claiming to have the right to exercise its authority without any limit set to it by civil powers. 3 In that textbook on marriage which bears upon its face the nihil obstat of the censor deputatus of the provaganda in Rome we find | these words: “This is why St. Thomas ealls it (marriage) a spiritual contract; and from this it follows that the secular power, which can annul other perfectly valid contracts, and supplement | under certein conditions the consent of the | contractors, can do nothing and shall never | be able to do any such thing when it is a ques- ‘ tion of marriage.” Marriage 91. Here the Roman Catholic church asserts and | claims that in the realm of marriage, which is world wide and falls within the boundaries of | every Government, the civil powers can do nothing and shall never be able to doanything | effecting legislation on marriage. If that is not an assertion that the church has the right 1o exercise 1ts authority without any limit set to it by any government on earth, Ido not understand language. In “Elements of Ecclesiastical Law” we find under the title of “Rights of the parish priests in regard to sacraments of matrimony” the | following: *‘Whenever the Tridantine Decree Tametsi is published, marriage, in order o be valid, must be contracted in the presence of the priest who is in the parish in which one or | both of the parties live.” 2 'he Holy Council of Trent, session 24, en- | joined thai marriages on pain of their in- validity, are to be celebrated in the presence of the parish priest and two or three wit- nesse; Here agein we have in the plainest terms the Roman Catholie church claiming absolute | right over the question of matrimon Father Schouppe says in a work which he | | | published on religious instruction and which bt Ihe church,” says Pius IX, “isa real and | periect society, entirely free, enjoying the dis- tinctive perpetual rights which were conferred upon it by its divine founder.” When an organizatlon claims to be perfect | within itseli aud to be entirely free from every other jurisdiction, it lays claim to the right to exercise its autharity without any limit set to | it from without. In Bronson’s review we rea “At bottom, ien, the question s stmply a question of the rights and prerogatives of the | spiritual order in the face of the temporal. | That order we have found to be by its own | nature independent and supreme. Every | Christian, eyery moralist, every man does and must concede it, however by so aoing he may | , then, thatorder be presented on earth {n its plenitude by the Pope, he must necessarily be indepéndent and supreme in face of the representatives of the temporal order;that is, in face of the secular | authority, the prince or the state.” £ Here the writer says that the church is inde- pendent and supreme, and goes on with a claim 10 assert that every Christian and every moralist and every man does and must con- cece it. Cardinal Manning say “The Catholic Church is the highest and final judge of what is the faith and what is the law of God, and when science and politics | come into conflict with the faith and the law | it admits of no appeal from its own decision to | any tribuual out of itself, to any judge of &p- | peal in the paet or in the future.” | What is the meaning of the language? Tt | admits of no appeal from itsown jurisdiction | to any tribunal. | Amat, Inte Bishop of Monterey, a gooa au- thority’ on the Pacific Coast, a man havinga | local nabitation and name among us, says: | “The church of her own authority—tnat is to independently of any civil power or magis- e, but only by virtue of the power she re- €d from her divine founder—can ensct | s_concerning Christian marriages, regulat- their contract and affecting their lawful- and validity, which no other laws can do, whatever magistrate or authority they may be enacted, unless approved and sanctioned | | 1so authoritative: | | | made that the church independently of any civil power can enact laws. Is not that exercising the right of authority without any limit set to it ? “In any question as to the competence of the two powers either there must be some judge to decide what does and what does not fail with- 1n their respective sphere or they are delivered petual doubt and to perpetual con- flicl. * *'# But if the church be certain with & divine certainty as 1o the limita of itg jusisdiction its voice in such matters is final, But an authority that can alone define the limits of its own office is absckute because it depends on none, and infallible because it kuows with a divine certainty the faith which ithas received in charge.” What is the meaning of the words? Its voice in such matters is final. 1f it does not convey to the mina of every man the idea that that Here the assertion snd every netbhing, Father Schouppe says in his work on religious instruction: roySince the power of the church s divine it | ollow hat itisof an order which is superior to | a1l human power. | “That it is distinct from, though not opposed | to, civil authority, of which it is entirely in- dependent Here the teaching of the church is that it is | entirely independent of eivil authority. Any | tribunal on earth then it means | orgeuization, let itbe chureh orlet it be nation, | whicn elaims to be entirely independent of all | other authority, must clailm the right to exer- | cise its own suthority without any limitation whatever. In “Elements of Ecclesiastical Law” we | il laws derive all their force, so far as | they are applicable to ecclesiastical matters, | solely from the authority of the church.’” | The church is secondly & perfect and in- dependent society. * * ¥ A society is inde. | pendent when it is not subject to the authority | of anyathersociety. * * * The church, there- fore, is not subject to eivil authority, but en- tirely independent of it.” Here we fearn thet the canon law of the church holds that the church is independen of the state. Americans ought to know the line of independence, and an Americen knows by the word independence is meant none other than that the organization claiming it exercises its authority without any limit. _“No other power (but the Pope), whether civil or ecclesiastical, can dispense with or re- eal in part the universal law of the church. Not the civil power as is evident.” Here again the téaching and practice of tne church are that no power whatsoever ean touch or invalidate or affect the law of the | church, In the postulation drawn up by Archbishop Spaulding during the Vatican Council of 1870, we find these definitions: “That no appeal irom the Sovereign Pontiff is lawful. “That every Christian is bound to give these decislons interfor assent and not merely re- spectful silence. “That these decisions of the Pope are not less sovereign in the declaration oPdomallc facts then in determination of pureiy doctrinal questions.” | When a society or law-making body claims | that no appeal can be had from 1t, docs St not claim the rignt to exercise its_authority with- out any limit set to it by the civil powers? In the “Elements of Ecclesinstical Law,” vhich by the way is the textbook on canon law used in Archbishop Riordan’s courthouse when trials of priests, nuns or laymen are there held, we read: 4Civil society has no jurisdiction in matters which relate primarily and directly to the pri vate atility of the faithful, taken lndlv(dulll‘;' Here the assertion is made that in matters involving even Perfion! within the circle and circumference of the church the elvil law cannot enter, and 1f the civil law cannot enter there the church claims the right of unlimited authority within that circle. Iam going to read to you a number of very imrportant citations from the great Cardinal Manning. And, by the way, let me turn aside for & moment here to remark that when a Protestant layman or clergyman passes over into the Catholic church he'is quoted in that church and looked upon in that church as a great and good man and shining light. But when a priest dares to change from the com- munion of the Catholic church to that of the Protestant church he Is looked uJ)on as a sort of soiled dove. A Newman and a Manning may go over to the Catholic_church and we do not assert that they are soiled and degraded because they see fit to change *heir minds, anda even change the vow they made to the com- munion in which they then believed. But when a priest of the Catholic church like Father Chiniquy or Father Hyacinthe or Dr. Vanolli, who has but the other day come out not only frem the priesthood bus from the Propaganda in Rome, and who is now in New York—when a priest leaves the Catholic church we believe he is as pure a man, s hon- orable & man, as unsoiled a man as when he was in that communion. And when the priests of the Cetholic church blackguard and’ vilify and calumniate every priest who comes out of the Catholic church we believe that the dirt is left behind in the Catholic church. If a Luther comes out ot the church every catechism will teach that Luther is a fallen man. ““The church claims to be the sole (because divinely appointed) judge of the sphere of its own spiritual office, authority and jurisdic- tion. * * * Tg concede or to abdicate this supreme spiritual office would be to the church death. * > * [t s for this that St. Thomas of Canterbury died. * * * It js for this that the Archbishop of Posen has also declared his readiness to die.” When the church claims to be the sole iuage of the sphere of its office, authority and juris- diction, is it NOt asserting its right to exereise its authority without any limit set to it by the state? “The church having & divine liberty as the witness which God has constituted in the world to deliver his revelation, and being the sole fountain of that knowledge, has within its sphere a sovereignty, and that sovereignty is one which is exempt from all control of human authority. No authority on earth can inter- vene to dictate to the church what it has to teach_or within what limits it shall teach. * » » It is therefore not.only exempt, but supreme, and being supreme there can be no appeal from it.” Cardinal Manning here states that the church and its authority and so\'en:mntft;s | exempt from all control of human author] Plainer language cannot be found in \\'hig'h Rome could claim its right to exercise its authority without any limit set to it by the civil powers. And when the church clatms | that no authority on earth—kingdom, empire or republic—can intervene to dictate to it what it shall teach or within what limits it shall reach, that church declares and teaches thatall rightof authority within it rests with it. “T will draw out & proof that ultramontanism and Catholicism_are identical.” But just pre- viously he said: “This is ultramontanism; the essence of which is that the church, being adivine institntion and by divine assistance infallible, is, within its own sphere, independ- ent of all civil powers; and as the guard and interpreter of the divine law it is the proper judge of men and nations in all things touch- iug thatlaw in faith and morals.” The same writer again claims even stronger that the church is within its own sphere independent of all civil powers. Again Manning says: “Rome is sovereign becauseit is independent; itis independent because it has no master on earth. The viear of Jesus Christ is the source of its liberty, the guardian of its sovereignty. Call it temporal power if you will, the thing is the same—the freedom, the independence, the | sovereignty of the kingdom of God on eartn, in all the world and over all mankind, resting upon its center in the patrimony of the | church, within which the shadow of no other sovercignty can intrude without a violation of the supernatural order of grace.” The writer here declares that within the church not even the shadow of any other sov- ereignty can intrude without doing wrong. Dollinger, whose learning and truthfulness in history not Yorke, nor Riordan, nor the Hayes-street fortress can impeach, says: “According to the Jesuit representation the church 1s a great all-embracing empire, an ab- solute monarchy, ruled with irresponsible and plenary power by one man, the Pope. To him all alike, laymen and cleric, king and beggar, are equally and absolutely subject.” “This papel kingdom must be upheld and ex- tended by all means of compulsion and vio- lence and punishments of life and limb, son times directly inflicted, sometimes by invoking the secular arm, wnich 1s bound at once to exe- cute its sentence.” “We recognize no religious liberty where our church is not free in her doctrine, discipline or worship, and where all men have not full and entire freedom to profess the Cathotic religion without restraints from or responsibility to any human power whatever, whether vested in the king, the aristocracy or the people. * * * This freedom we demand, not as & favor, notas a gracious concession from_the prince or the repuolic, but as the right of our church. What construction would Father Yorke put upon the language, “without restraint from or responsibility to any human power whatever."” Does not an organization that claims the right 10 be without restraint or_responsibility claim that it has the right to exercise its authority without any limit set to it by civil power; The “Elements of Ecclesiastical Law, reads as follows: ). Is it allowable to'appeal’to the civil power or seek redress in the civil courts against wrongs inflicted by ecelesiastical superiors? ““A. Such appesls are, as a rule, not only un- lawiul but null and void. * * * For the church being a perfect and supreme society and, therefore, sole and ultimate judge in mat- ters pertaining to her jurisdiction—i. e., eccle- siastical and spiritpal things. The civil power 50 far from having any power over the church in this respect is_itself subject to her. * * * Inno case, therefore, is it _allowed to appeal to the civil courts from’ the decisions of the Holy See.” page up the whole thing into this: That the civil law, even when it renders s decision, is not binding and need not be obeyed. How can & government prosper, how can courts of law be maintained when an element organized together assert that the voice of the law is no better than the breath of the wind? The law of the church even goes further and asserts that in no case, under no circumstances, can the jurisdiction of the church be brought 10 the natice of the civil court. Jouin, in & work which has the approval of the Propaganda, says: “The church, being aysociety instituted by God with the object of leading mankind to salvation, must, in all things belonging to her, be independent of civil society, a5 we state above. 0 law of any state, framed in opposition vith her teeching, can be binding on the con- science of man; because s to the law of God, and we must obey God rather than man.” Here within the sphere of the church a declaration is made that the church in all | things belonging to her is independent of civil sceiety. ‘The power of kings,” said Pius IX, repeat- g the words of Po . Innocent and St. Felix, “was instituted, not only for the gov- ernment of the worlid, but for the assistance of the church; and nothing is more glorious or more advantageous to a prince than to leave the Catholic church fn possession of her own rights and to allow none to interfere with her liberty. By virtue | of her power o1 the ministry the church ede ministers all_sacraments, not_excepting mar- riage, of which she is sole judge, with full power to create invalidating impediments or 1o dispense with them. By the eame facuity she grants indulgences, institutes feasts, regu- Iates the ceremonies of the holy sacrifice and all that constitutes public worship.” To-morrow evening we shall heve here on the platform the authorities from which all these citations have been taken. I have not taken advantage of your confidence in me to ;{llflle a s!n%le syllable that is not found in “atholic publications. To-morrow evening I shall not only produce the proofs to sustain the third proposition. but I shall summarize before you the substance of the lectures preceding. STORMY SESSION OF ~ THE COUNCIL. Continued from Fijth Page. testified that she didn’t know the condition of herhealth when she left for Tacoma. When she came back from Tacoms she said that the whole family was sick. Her testimony was the same as that of Mrs. Tunnell. I never suspected there was anything in the sickness of Miss Overman that néeded to be suppressed. Miss Overman never made a confident of me. She came here with Mrs. Thurston. When Mrs, Tunnell Jeft my house the last time she left mo ipstructions for the dispo- sition of letters, papers, etc. I still have two family letters addressed to Mrs. Tunnell in my possession. I have noknowledge whatever of her whereabouts. She may have gone to Oentrai America to her son Byron. In August, 1895, I sent for Mrs. Tunnell to come to my house to stay with my mother during my absence. She was here & day, when Miss Overman came over also. Mrs. Eaton’s mother, being duly sworn, testified as follows: Iknow Mrs, Tunnell and Miss Overman, I was here alone, and Mre. Eaton going a wrote a note to Mrs. Tunnell to come and stay with me. She came a few minutes before my daughter left. Isaid: “I thought you wouldn't come. Ialways had confidence in you.” She gave 88 the excuse for her delay that she was nvited to meet Mattie, and she didn't meet her at the boat, therefore she was Mattle came and stayed two nights. She ooked feeble and weak. Mrs. Tunnell said, “I thoughtI would bring Mattie over here where it is pleasant and quiet that she might recuperate.” She stayed until Sunday. On that day they went to church. That was during the last partof August. I never saw Dr. Brown before to-day. I had no conversa- tion with them about these matiers because there were no rumors afioat at this time. Mary Wirts, the niece of Mrs. Eaton, being duly sworn, testified as follow: Inanswer to the question, “What did Mrs. Tunnell ue:ly bout leaving Dr. Brown'’s house she replied, “I heard her say Dr.Brown and Mattie said if I couldn’t stand ug‘to t out. I happened in the room when Mrs. Tunnell made this remark to Mrs. Eaton. Thatis all T heard Mrs. Tunnell say about the matter. She did not discuss affairs before me at all. I did not know Miss Overman.’” At the conclusion of its reading the council adjourned urtil to-day at 2 p. M. late. Children of Old Friends.

J 0 C Won the Steeplechase at Good Odds—George Miller Outsprinted a Fast Field. The Pacific Union selling stake over a mile was run off at the Bay District track yesterday, but failed to attract more than the ordinary crowd of race-goers. The stake was worth $1200 to the winner THE CALL” and resulted in the inglorious defeat of the even-money favorite, Wheel ot For- tune. With but 104 pounds in the saddle, Harvey's mare was considered a ‘‘pipe” by the talent and was plunged on when her odds reached 7 to 5. Stable money forced the odds against Rosebud down from 3 to 214, but later the Tyrant mare receded to 3l4. A consistent play kept Cabrillo’s odds at 4. Red Glen, Agitato and Mollie R, the other starters, had a scant followin?. The race could hardly be called a true run one. The boys all seemed to have waiting orders, and as the turn down the back stretch was reached Chorn on the favorite passed Agitato, taking the lead, followed by Rosebud. The first half was covered in fifty-two seconds, with the “Wheel” a length before the second choice. There was little change in posi- tions as the stretch was reached, the favor- ite apparently having the race well in bhand. Below the turlong pole, however, Rosebud moved up, and Chorn on the *‘Wheel”” was seen to be urging his mount. She responded gamely, but was eusily out- footed to.the wire, Rosebud winning very handily by a scant length. Cabrillo came fast at the end with a great showing of speed, finishing a close third. The win- ner’s time was 1:413{. Bergen, who rode RACING CHART. Thlrflefll Day of the California Jockey Club. Weather Fine. Track Fast. trict Track, San Francisco, Wednesday, February 26, 1896.

Cabrillo, came in for much adverse crit cism, as he apparently laid out of the race altogether 100 far, until too late to win, There were no startling performances to record. The favorites were successful on but two essays, second choic:s and out- siders taking the other events. The num- ber of pencilers was lessened by them at yesterday’s cut-in, and those above the ‘‘dead line' did a fairly profitable busi- ness, The racing opened with the usual “dog” dash at five and a haif furlongs, 2 of which George C, the 3¢ to 1 second choice, car- ried off the laurels, downing the 150 to 1 shot, imp. Alien, in a drive. Landlord, the favorite, ridden by Cash Sloan, fin ishea third. A more perfect start is rarely seen than the one in the two-year-old event, a hali- mile spin, with thirteen starters, With scarcely a noticeable delay the barrier fiew 1n the alr and they went away on even terms. The 3 to 5 favorite Greyhurst almost immediately took the lead, and pleased from St. Dunstin. ip H, a 100 to 1shot, was a good third. The Elkton stables’ jumper, J 0 C, shows returning form, and captured the steeplechase over the short course at the very remunerative odds of 8 to 1. Taking the lead from Gold Dust before the stretch was reached he won handily, trailed by the first choices in the betting, Cicero and Mestor. The ‘Kansas City Hindoo,”” George Mil- ler, came out fresh and full'of run in the short six-furlong run, adding still another Wwinning bracket to his long list of victo- ries. Hehad a slight call over Gratify in the ring, going to the post8to 5. Easel and Morven set a merry pace to the stretch, when Coady gave the favorite his head and, taking command, won cleverly by half a length from Ed Kearney, who came fast at the end. Gratify was unplaced. Another “Dice-box Derby” at five and a half furlongs for maidens ended the day’s sport, furnishing the charitably inciined of the crowd an opportunity to_help the suffering booky even up any losses he may have incurred during the day. Imp. Agrippina, San_Marco, Montallade and Mirambo carried all the' coin wagered and Ph show. Red Pike,an 8tolchance, was first, with the 30 to 1 shot Peixotto in the place.

The management of Ingleside Track has had a starting gate set up on the inside course, with a man stationed charge of 1t, for the accommodation of owners that wish to school their horses in the art of quick breaking. b - Hughey Jones was at a loss to account for the poor showing Gratify made in the race won by George Miller. The chestnut youngster has been doing well and in his preliminary warming-u allop tripped through the stretch pinlzdx seccpn}::ls, faster than he has ever worked before, Hughey bet a good chunk of coin on him, as well as all ot~his friends.

There is a possibility of Rosebud, Wheel of Fortune and Cabrillo_coming together again in a three-cornered match over the same distance and with the same weights up as carried in yesterday’s race. of the downtown hotels last night where a group of horsemen had collected talking over the day’s racing, Joe Harvey insinu- ated that nhe did not think **The Wheel” showed at her best and was willing to back it up with $2500. One of Cabrillo’s sup- porters, who thought Bergen rode an al timed race,was willing to furnish the same amount for that horse, and if the owners of Rosebud think their mare can repeat the trick the association could no doubt be induced to give some added money. The event v;ould certainly prove a great draw- ing card. the Australian sire Loyalist, made an ex- cellent showing in the two-year-old event. He finished a strong third, and will un- doubtedly be a dangerous ctistomer when the distances are stretched out.
