LOVDAL FINISHED SECOND. The Crack Crescendo Was a Hot Favor- ite, but Faltered the Last Furlong. Favorites Beaten. The Burns stake, worth $6000 to the win- ning horse, was decided at the Bay Dis- trict Track yesterday, and resulted in one of the prettiest contests of the season. | the ten starters the winner turnea upin | Joe Hervey’s grand mare Wheel of For- tune, ridden by Al Shaw. The event was formerly known as the Spreckeis stake, | and over a year ago was captured by the black colt Lissak, with the horse owned by the’ turiman after whom the stake was named finishing in the place. Yesterday Lovdal, owned bv the senior partner firm of Burns & Waterhouse, also finished in second place. The opening betting favored Lovdal, who opened a 7 to 5 favorite, but closed at twos. The big plunge was made on Crescendo, who was backed down from 2}4 to 1 to 6 to 5. Allof the other starters went back in the betting, Wheel of Fortune being quoted at 15 as the horses were called. At the {:ost the lower strand of webbing was twice roken by over-anxicus starters before the field was sent away to a fine start. Pass- ing the stand Service was first, followed in close order by Silver State and Crescendo. The pace set was a slow one, the old horse still maintaining first position as the stretch for home was reached, with Cres- cendo and Lovdal at his side, fighting for the lead. Naglee Burke’s big chestnut soon took command, and looked to have the race at his mercy a furlong from the wire, but he faltered perceptibly nearing the paddock, and Lovdal forged to the front. All of this time Shaw on Wheel of Fortune had been persevering, and the mare, finishing with her accustomed gameness, took the big prize by a long neck. The favorite was third, | a short length further away. The time, | 31/, was good, considering the condition of the track, which wasnot of the light- ning order. | The big event attracted a far smaller crowd than on the occasion of its former decision. It was large, though, compared to theevery-day attendance, and the fifteen bookmakers did a lively business. The various events were all well con- tested, the recent exposures of fraud evi- dently having as enervating effect on the | jockeys. At that it was a poor day for first choices, but two of them getting to the wire in front. The opening race, a cheap six-furlong affair, was gathered in very handily by the 7 to 5 choice Mirambo, with Shaw up. Veva, the second choice, was a close | second. The four-furlong scramble ended inja | head finish between Caspar, Lumina and | Rey del Tierra, the former ruling a hot 9 to 20 favorite gaining the verdict, This was followed by another six-furlong run for the selling-plater division. Palo- macita, with Jonesup, and a 5to 1 shot | in the betting, led the 9 to 5 favorite, Sera- | phin, from the start, winning easily by three lengths. | The mile and a furlong steeplechase | resulted disastrously for the talent. Three | Forks was heavily leaycd, going to the | post 7 to 5. Afterleading to the last jump, | Spence on Sir Reel brought the old sulker | up and, outfooting the first choicehome, | won by a neck. W. L. Munson was & dis- | tant third. | . Sixth on the card was a six-furlong spin, with Ricardo, Sir Play, Kamsin and | Realization facing the issue. Sir Play was | a pronounced 7 to 10 choice, but after lead- ing to the stretch was_easily beaten in the run to the wire by Kamsin. The winner opened at even money, receding to 7 to 5. B of | B | the variea form in whicn quicksilver occurs | that I assume the duties of an office that has | eity finds it quite as difficult to tell what not | ley, The old iron horse, Logan, showed to good advantage in the concluding event of the day, a mile dash, with but four start- ers. 1mp. Santa Bella held sway in the ring at 1 to 2, with Logan at one stage as good as 23 to 1, which price was later played down to 8 to 5. Goodwin II went out with a'great showing of speed, setting a hot clip to the bend for home. Bhieids, on Logan, then shook his mount up, and taking the lead won cleverly by a length from Scirhetar, who came fast and nipped | the place from the favorite. Valuable Gift to the University. The mining and mineralogical departments of the University of California have received two very valuable donations from J. B. Ran- dol, for many chn manager of the New Al- maden quicksilver mine and now one of the owners of the Mirabel quicksilver mine. z For many years Mr. Rando Jhas gathered together ail the available literature on the mining and_metallurgy of quicksilver, as also many valuable manuscript reports and’ collec- tions of newspaper clippings on the statistics of the subject. The collection includes books and pamphlets in French, German and Span- 1sh, as well as in English. The entire collec- tion has been given to the University. He has also presented a number of valuable quicksilyer ores from New Almaden and other arts of California, as well as specimens of ores from Almaden In Spain and Idria in Austria. The collection contains many rare and perfect specimens of cinnabar crystals and illustrates in all parts of the world, and will be of great use to mining students. ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT Superintendent Babcock on the Various Institutions of Learning. Great Progress Has Been Made—Obitu- aries on Deceased Teachers and Statistics. The annual report of the Superintendent of Common Schools, compiled by the incumbent, Madison Babcock, has just been issued, showing the great prog- ress during the past twelve months of the various institutions of learning under the control of the Board of Education. In his introductory remarks, Mr. Babcock says: Gentlemen: Herewith please find report for year ending June, But for the sickness and subsequent death of Superintendent Moulder, this would have appeared as his re- port. He had devoted much time and thought 10 a study of the conditions of the schools, and had he lived, would have written a report full of wise and helpful suggestions. It is with no small degree of embarrassment been filled by such men &s Denman, Mann, An- derson, Swett and Moulder. No one who has not undertaken it knows how great the re- sponsibility. To fill such & position even con- scientiously, not to say ably, requires no small degree of wise forethought and careful discre- tion. A Superintendent of Schools in a large to do as what to do. Any one can tear down and terrorize, but it remains for few to vuild with wisdom and courage. In this connection, permit me to say that my highest ambition is to assist in some de- gree in the creation of hisher ideals among principals and teachers, and thus secure to the children in our schools such instruction as shall fit them for tne highest type of Ameri- can citizenship. Considerable space is devoted to the various branches of study and tbe im- proved methods of teaching, and biograph- ical sketches of the most prominent edu- cators in the department are also given. Obituary notices of Andrew J. Moulder, whom Mr. Babcock succeeded, and Miss Lillie E. Gallagher, Miss Helen A. Sing- Miss Mary Batten, Mrs. F. E. Reynolds, Mre. A. C. Palmer, Miss Caro- line R. Putnam, Miss Eva White, Dudley C. Stone and James G. Kennedy are made a feature of the report, which concludes with a_complete statistical report of the condition of the schools during the year past. In conclusion Mr. Bancock says: In conclusion I wish-to express in most posie tive phrase my high appreciation of the people and the press of San Francisco for their very cordial support of the schoois; of the pupils for their uniformly studious habits and their almost always good-natured, cheery obedience: | ofthe teachers for their genial, earnest, abla | devotion to duty, and of the members of the | present Board of Education for the intelligent courage with which they manage the schools. “THE CALL” RACING CHART.

The Association Is to Make Plans for Needed Improvements in the Near Future. Conditions on the principal streets are commencing to receive some degree of con- sideration. The cobblestone, that marvel to the .tourist, is apparently doomed; though, like other bad things, it will prob- ably be long a-dying. The following let- ter on the subject was received at the head- quarters of the Merchants’ Association yesterday : : SAN FrANCISCO, March 26, 1896. F. W, Dohrmann Esq., President Merchants' As- sociation, San Francisco—DEAR SIR: 1 herewith submit to your consideration a statement of the condition of the Street Department fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, show- ing the expenditures made up to March 1, 1896, and the balances to the credit of the de- partment on that dete, as also a list of out- standing labilities against the fund. 1 desire to specially direct your atiention to the fact that in submitting to the Auditor an estimate of the amount required for the use of the Street Department for the fiscal year, I in- cluded therein an item for the amount required for “repaving streets now paved with cobbles— 151 blocks and forty-éight crossings,” which I estimate would cost 2,690. In the “Report of the Superintendent of Pub- lic Streets, Highways and Squares,” submitted to the Board of Supervisors on July 15, 1895, appesrs the the following: “The cobble pave- ould no longer be allowed to disgrace our City, and I earnestly recommend that on streets of suitable grade the cobbles be re- moved and replaced with & smooth and noise- Jess pavement.” Municipal Reports, San Francisco, 1894-95. Of & total avpropriation of $526,500, not more than one-third of this appropriation is within the control and at the disposal of the Street Superintendent. The only portion of the fund over which he exercises any disposition is that which is com- prehended within the scope of the immediate necessities incident to the department. The remainder is subject to the special appropria- tions made by the Board of Supervisors for particular improvements and the subsequent pleasure of said board as to other improve- ments petitioned for from time to time. Your notice is respectfully directed to the balance available for accepted streets and sewers of $68,899 52, out of aspecially fixed appropriation of $200,000. The drain on this special sum by reason of expenditures for necessary repairs of accepted streets, cleaning ana repiiring sewers, in addition to the de- mands approved on account of contracts let by the Board of Supervisors for new work, has left this special fund in an unsatisfactory condition. In fact, in order to meet the actual require- ments of this department for the balance of the fiscal year it will be necessary to en- croach upon sums appropriated for other pur- ses. lw’nzha is also especially true as to providing funds for the payment of the contracts for repav- ing Folsom street, Van Ness avenue, Mason street, between Pacific and Jackson, Taylor .street, between Pacific and Broadway, and other contracts already awarded by the Board of Supervisors. 1appreciate fully the necessity for replacing the cobble pavement in the business section of the City with & more desirable pavement, but in the_ matter of projecting this much needed work I am subjected to the discretion of tie Board of Supervisors, Iam endeavoring now, with the limited means at my disposal, to re- construct pavements on the streets in that portion of the Gity near the water {ront where eavy drayage is conducted, and for which there {s pressing necessity. 1 am satisfied that the efforts of the Merchants’ Association to se- cure a special appropriation the levy to be made inJune next, for the removal of cobbles and the substitution of bituminouas rock for | the pavement of the streetsin the business center of the City would be crowned with suc. cess, and I can assure you that in this behalf [ shall heartily co-operate with the association. Respectfully yours, 'THOS. ASHWORTH, Superintendent of Public Streets, Highways and Squares. To this the secretary of the association made answer in the following terms: SAN FrANCISCO, March 27, 1896. Hon, Thomas Ashworth, Superintendent of Pub- lic Streets, Highways and Squares, Cily and County of San Francisco—DEAR Sik: Your es- teemed favor of yesterday has duly reached this office and has been submitted to the presi- dentof this association. He requests me to acknowledge the receipt of the same and to assure you that this association fully recog- nizes the difficulties, rs presented in your communication, of making the suggested im- provements during thigfiscal year. The op- portunity, however, will be taken shortly by the board of directors of this association to formulate plans for securing these improve- ments during the next fiscal year. These plans, as soon as prepared, will be submitted to your consideration: and it effords us «reat pleasure to be assured that the association will have your hearty co-operation in this important matter. J. RICHARD FREUD, Becretary Merchants' Association. A former City and County official, when shown the correspondence above copied, remarked : AT “There may be something in it, who knows? But my conviction isthat there willbe cobble pavements in San Francisco fifty years from now, unless the rising generation takes more interestin public works than the element which now holds the reins.’” A Veteran’s Funeral. Erwin B. McElroy, veteran of the late war, who served three years in Company C, Fourth Ohio Volunteers, died in Newark, Alameda County, on the 24th inst. The funeral will be held at the hall of George H. Thomas Post No. 2,G. A. K., this afternoon &t 1 o'clock. Rev. Charles 0. Brown, a comrade of the post, will deliver & mamorial address.

The second week I could walk sbout twenty feet with two canes; fourth week I went outside down a flight of six steps and walked about a hundred yards and back; and this morning I went out and walked very near a querter of a mile. Ican now get around and help myself without bothering any one. It was & blesstng to me the day I got your Belt.”—F. A. NARCH, Gilroy, Cal who need 1t ought to S. D.

Yet not many can say it. There are too many pit- falls, too many temptations in the path of young men, and too many of them fall. Tt is to correct the error of youthful folly, and to point out the happy recovery of manly vigor. by his wonderful Electric Belt, that Dr. Sanden has given to the world his famous book, “Three Classes of Men.” He will send a pocket edition, free, gealed, to any sufferer, or to any man who does not feel himself a man.
