8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURESDAY, MARCH 19, 1896 packed with fair race-lovers yesterday, the closing day of the two weeks' meeting. The races were all well contested, nose | tinishes being the general rule. The male portion of the population was out in lib- eral numbers, and the bookies experienced amost disastrous day. Favorites or sec- ond choices were successful throughout, with one exception. Undoubtedly the prettiest as well as the most exciting finish was that at the con- clusion of the six-furlong handicap, when { Mobalaska, George Miller and Sam Leake passed the wire short heads apart.

It was so close that many were unable to "place the winner, waiting until the num- bers were hoisted, which showed the yer- dict to be in favor of Mobalaska, with the fayorite in second place. The stable of Burps & Waterhouse carried off the purse in the two-year-old event, a four and a half furlong sprint, with Rowena B, a filly by imp. Maxim, who won very handily from Dura, backed dewn from 1to 2. “ The unlucky Walter J was again just nipped out for the coin in the second event at six furlongs. He and the9 to 5 favorite fought it out the entire way. the favorite winning by a nose. Tobey ran a good race, finishing third. There was no pronounced favorite in the mile and a quarter hurdle handicap, threes or better being always obtainable against My Luck, Silverado and Hello. It Qroved a very easy win for Hello, with W. Clancy up, who passed Bassanio after taking the second jump and won galloping. The place was captured by Bassanioin a drive with the gray mare, Nellie G. W. B. Sink’s mare Sister Mary, who was unfortunate in fietting left at the post on Tuesday, was a hot even-moneychoice for the fifth race over seven furlongs, and ran unplaced. She was in the lead to the far turn. where Cabrillo headed her, and nothing. The finish was a repetition of | second_choice, Cabrillo and the rank out- sider Dungarven finishing heats on the | wirein the order named. The wise ones were very badly fooled over the resuit of the race following, also at seven furlongs. Dan Honig's crack, Magnet, looked to bhave a ‘‘cinch” on the purse, but he looked so big and high after his long rest that after opening at 7 to 10 he receded in the betting to 7 and 8 to 1. The big coin went in on Thelma, who was backed down from 7 to 5 to1lto2. Magnet took the lead from Boreas, turning into the back stretch and fighting, all the way for his head, won with ridiculons ease, with Benham a head in front of Boreas for the place. Owner Honig scored another win in the last race of the day, a six-furlong dash. Charm was well played at 9 to 5, and slip- ping through next the rail on striking the stretch for home, won by half alength from thke 20 to 1 chance Artist. Olive fin- ished in the show.

The tournament | will terminate with a ten-round boxing | bout between two clever professional box- ers. It was rumored about the club yes- terday that Director Short had been in correspondence with two of the cleverest ! lightweight boxers in America and that arrangements for their presence in the ring on the evening of the final rounds bad been almost compieted. The names | of the clever exponents of the ‘“manly | art” will niot be made public until the match is consummated. The National Athletic Club will give a | fistic bill-of-fare in April that should please the most fastidious of sport-lovers. In the | language of the obese master of ceremonies, | Billy Jordan Esq., the event of the even- | ing will be an eight-round contest between Alexander Greggains and Joe Choynski. | The latter has agreed to take no part of the purse which will be offered by the club in | case he fails to send his opporient to dream- land before the expiration of the limit- round. Greggains has accepted the terms proposed by Choynski, and states that if ex-Champion Corbett’s old opponent can accomplish such a trick he (Greggains) will retire from the ring and join the large and disconsolate army of ‘‘has-been’ | | pugilists. | The Coima Athletic Club, which, meta- | ghoncally speaking, was buried by the | upervisors of San Mateo County some | months ago, has arisen from the ashes, und | commencing next month boxing con- tests of twenty rounds wiil be held occa- sionally at the country rendezvous. Yesterday Barney Farley, “the man of wonderful discoveries,” held a conference with Charles (Parson) Davies at the Balc- win Hotel. Farley, who is the manager of the sturdy little Jimmy Anthony of Aus- tralia, is anxious to pit hischarge in a con- test of twenty roundsaguinst Jimmy Barry of Chicago.” The managers of the two noted pugilists held quite a lengthy dis- cussion but nothing definite in the match- making way was arrived at. It is quite probable, however, that a match between the two fighters will be consummated in the near future. The proposed match between Alexander Greggains and Joe -Choynski has fallen through. ¢ At 11 o'ciock last evening *Parson” Dayies, J. Gibbs and Tom Sharkey held a | private conference and Sharkey was sub- stituted for Greggains. The agreement entered into between Sharkey and Davies is the same as was drawn up for Gregguins; that is, Choynski to win must stop Sharkey in eight rounds. The match will take place in this City some time in the latter part of April. The San Francisco Athletic Club gave an excellent exhibition last evening, which consisted of boxing, wrestling and club- swinging by members. . .—— 1t is stated that there were 2893 human beings killed by tigers, leopards, hyenas and panthers 'in India during the vear 1894, and in the same year the same spe- cies of beasts, aided by snakes, killed 97,- 371 head of cattle,.

TWO PICTURES FOR CHICAGO. He Will Go Into Yosemite as Soon as the Stageroad Is Open to Travel. Thomas Hill; the widely known Pacific Coast artist, whose studios hers and at ‘Wawona are well known to thousands of travelers over the world, dined at home last eveming after a prolonged absence. He has been at Coronado and Pasadena since early in the year, and has recovered his health almost entirely. “I was an invalid when I went south,” he said. “I had the grip, the rheumatism and I don’t know how many other ils, but I am now sound and well, except for a little rheumatism that catches me once in & while. I was at Coronado a good while ained fame and wunenviable notoriety through his crooked operations on this coast and his flight half around the world with detectives in the employ ot Police Commissioner Gunst on his trail. Doctor was one of Gunst's trusted em- loyes and traveled from one end of the acific Coast to the other, selling the Com- missioners’ pet brands of cigars. While in Los Angeles, about two years ago, he meta member of the demimonde who fascinated him and he so far forgot his sense of hon- esty as to collect owing his employer by Michael Pollasky of Los Angeles and to flee with his charmer. When the theft was discovered Mr. Gunst at once sent de- tectives on his track and traced him to Euroie. where he was traveling and spend- ing his ill-gotten gains. After awhile Doctor’'s companion forsook him, and, his funds giving out, he returned to America | and landed in New York just in time to meet the Police Commissioner’s agents, who arrested him and took him to Los An- geles for trial. Doctor appealed to his father in his hourof tribulation, and rather than see his son go to jail the wealthy parent came to his son’s rescue and made good the amount that Pollasky had been compelled to refund to Gunst. At the trial there was little evidence for the pros- ecution and Doctor was acquitted. Then he returned to San Francisco and led a Bohemian existence for several months. * Lately he has been in hard luck and decided to try to go to some place wheré his misaeeds were not known to begin life anew. Lack of funds stood in his way, however, and- he was unable to get away until he hit upon the plan of stowing away on a China steamer as a means of reaching the European colonies of Japan and China. b He was aided in his project by friends, ..

It's a grim and awful ride, but pays you well. Yet it shakes you up a bit. Think of ‘the abruptness—sixty degrees. It’s enough to make anyboay squirm. % “I am preparing as rapidly as possible to go to the Yosemite again. I want to get in on the snow. I always feel better when 1 am up there. I will go not later than April 1. The stage company expects to have the road open by that time. “There is an enormous number of East- ern visitors in Southern California, and they are coming in every day. All the towns are full. I never saw so many people there before. There ought to be a great many up here during the remainder of the spring.” Mr. Hill says he has been doing little with his brush during his absence, his pur- pose when be went being to rest as much as possible. He made a pair of Yosemite pictures for W. 0. Carpenter, a wealthy resident of Chicago, but beyond these he scarcely touched canvas. For these pic- tures Mr. Carpenter paid $1000 each. HASTE IS NECESSARY. Get the Introductory Sets of the New Encyclopredic Dictionary, The few introductory sets of the new dictionary which the Pacific Coast News- paper Syndicate is distributing will have been exhausted in & very few days and the splendid volumes sent on their mission of enlightenment. It was a liberal and saga- cious move on the part of the syndicate to thus place a number of sets in cultured homes in order that the work might be compared with other dictionaries and cyclopedias. There is’ nothing like *‘ocular proof” when it is desired to demonstrate the supe- riority of one book over another, and this rincipie was also applied in opening syn- icate headquarters at 36 Montgomery !Kec.ed at leisure. The place has been thronged each day by those who were de- sirous of securing the work at the exce tionally low price and on the extremely easy terms of payment arranged for the introductory sets. . After these are gone the regular sub- séription price will prevail. It will make I‘sogossession more difficult for people of moderate means. In a very few days the introductory sets will have been claimed, and the distribution of the work, except by subscription, will be closed. fieaders, therefore, must hurry to take advantage of ty, which is nét likely again to be presenud’.’ WENT 1S A STOWAN George Doctor, Who Defrauded M. A. Gunst, Now on the High Seas. The Son of a Milwaukee Millionaire, but a Black Sheep of the Family. When the Pacific Mail steamship China sailed from this port on Saturday last for Yokohama and Hongkong she carried one passenger who was not down on the ship’s books as having engaged a stateroom or paid his passage in advance. + Aided by s few sympathizing friends and an ex-employe of the company, who knew the remote nooks and corners of the ship thoroughly, he stole on board the night before the big China liner cast off her lines, and, with & few necessities to !nako bimself comfortable, stowed away in & place where he hoped to be secure until the pilot had left the ship and the eho.re: of America were growing dim against the easteru horizon. The stowaway was George Doctor, the son of ‘a Milwaukee millionaire, who and they furnished him with clothes and money to carry him for a short time when he should land in the Orient. He bad $25 and a new suit of clothes when he shipped on board the China, and as he did not show up in his accustomed friends knew that'he was well on his way to the country where he expects to make a new start in life. Doctor is well educated and was given every opportunity in early life to carry out a successful career. His friends hope that he will make.a man of himself where his misdoings are unknown.

Talbot Clifton’s Coaching Party Narrowly Escapes Disaster—A Driver’s Skill. J. Talbot Clifton was the central figure of an exciting incident on Market street at 1 o’clock yesterday morning. His four- in-hand ran away, and it was only through the skill of the driver that a serious acci- dent was averted. There were two ladies jand two men on top of the coach, { while Clifton. and lady a companion | | rode within. The driver, who proved to be a very skillful person with the rib- | bons, was the regularly empioyed coach- | | man of the English nobleman. The coach, drawn by four spirited horses, rattled over the cobblestones at a terrific rate, and the noise awoke unoffending citizens from their slumbers. The horses began running at Fifth street, and increased their speed as Sixth was ap- proached. They ran from one side of Mar- | ket street to the other, and the coach | | swayed and rocked until it almost toppled over. There was great excitement among those who witnessed the runaway, as every second it was expected that there would be an upset. But the driver was cool and sgillful, and he turned the corner at | Seventh street, came within an ace of run- 1ninrz over a number of people who were leaving a dance then in progress at Odd | Fellows’ Hall, and finally brought the animals to a standstill by running them | against the big fence that incloses the new postoffice lot at Mission and Seventh streets. When the coach stopped the” frightened women jumped to the ground, and it was some time before they recovered from the shock. Mr. Clifton, however, was as cool as an iceberg, and finally prevailed on bis timid companions to continue the early | morning drive.

Corps of Company F needed the room, and hence this meeting. % Major Tilden presided and being a mem- ber of both the Veterans.of the National Guard and Company F, his opening re- marks were in good taste and highly con- ciliatory. Short speeches were made by Colonels Barry, Taylor, Bush, Burns, Burdick, Captain Pike and others prior to and after a motion was made to accept an offer from Company F to use a room on the upper floor at a rental of $10 a month. The motion called forth a heated inter- change of ideas on the head of militia eti- quette and fraternal good-fellowship. Two hours were consumea in debate, at the end of which time a motion was made and car- ried for the appointment of a committee of three to look after the securing of a room farther downtown and report at the next meeting.
