“ e, i THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1896. MAJOR COOK 1S SPEEDY, "Defeated Kamsin Very Handily at Six Rurlongs in Coast Record Time. LOBENGULA WON UNDER WRAPS Rowena B Downed a Field of Twelve Speedy Youngsters in the Pacific Stake. It appears to be mo trick at all for the sprinters to cover the six furlongs over the Bay District’s fast clayey track in 1:13— coast record time. In fact when Major Cook defeated Kamsin very cleverly iu the sixth event yesterday, and stepped the distance in the record notch, it failed to aitract more than passing comment. The Major, carrying 104 pounds, was an even money chance, and after William Pinker- ton had reeled off the first half in 47 seconds, took command and headed the game Kamsin out a length at the wire. There were but three starters. The fact that a stake event as well as the usual seliing and purse races had to be decided attracted a much better crowd an on the opening day of the week, and the betting was much livelier. Turee of the seven events run off went to favorites in the betting. The Pacific stake for worth $900 to the lucky voung: furlongs, drew out a field of t two-year-olds, T, at four ve. The E! Primero stavle entries, Lumina and Fleur de Lis, had first call in the betting, the rin: aying better than1l to 5 against Rey del Tierra at threes was the next most fancied, with the Burns & Waterhouse duo, Rowena B and King Street. third in demand at 4 to 1. The lat- e opened in the betting at 215 to 1. odds were obtainable against the other starters. The start was, as usual, good. Rowena B soon headed the field of gay colors and, clipping along at a merry rate, passed the wire two lengths clear of her stable companion, King Street, who in a drive took tne place from Howard S by a nose. The distance was covered in 4874 seconds. Owner Pat Danne annexed the purse in the opening six-iuriong run with San Marco. The chestnut colt was backed down from 7 to 5 to evens, and having a most ordinary field to dispose of won eas- ily from the second choice, Candor. In the next event, a seven-furlong affair decided under selling conditions, the 8 to 6 choice, Hermanita, won only after some i 'r)'j\ersuasi\'e riding on the part of Ed- d ones. out in the sa1 starters were dispatched, and died away to lead when the eight nothing in the stretch when Jooking all over a winner. Pollock, an outsider, then took up the running and was beaten out but thiee parts of a length by the favorite. The Flambeau-Fairy Rose filly, Sweet Rose, again disappointed her admirersin the six furlong daeh that was third on the card. Sent to the post an even money choice, she ran well for half a mile and then began falling to the rear. Ina hard drive Piggott got the 21 to 1 second choice, Morven, to the wire first, a neck in front of Crawford. Gold Bug was a close third. Green Morris cut a watermelon in the fifth race with Strathflower, against which the ring laid 5to 1. The mare led all the way, and wou ridden out at the end half a length before the 100 to 1 shot Seaside, ridden by Snider. The 4 to 5 favorite Thelma was beaten out the last jumpa nose for the show by Monita. Another fast performance was that of Mt Air, the second choice, | Lobengula, who captured the last race of theday over a mile and a sixteenth. But four started, with Yankee Doodle reigning a hot even money choice. The favorite, under wraps, with Benham and Logan at his side heads apart, raced abreast almost to the bend for home. Jones on Loben- gula, who had been trailing behind, then moved up with his mount, and easily taking the lead straightened for the wire, won under_a pull, a neck in front of Benham. The winner’s time was1:48,a fine performancg considering the ease with which it was agbmplished. Track and Paddock Items. This will be the closing day of the Cali- fornia Jockey Club’s two weeks’ meeting. Ingleside track will reopen to-morrow with a great card and ‘‘Ladies’ day’’ asthe special attraction. Jockey Heinrichs of Little Pete fame de- parted for St. Louis last evenmng. Ever since the exposure the “‘St. Louis Garri- son” has been guarded by an employe of the Morse Patrol Agency, the officials of the Jockey Club fearing no doubt that the ruled-off riders or their friends might at tempt an assault on the ex-friend of the Chinese plunger. There was quite a heavy play on Rastus, who faced the starter for the first time' in the two-vear stake. The roan son of Flam- beau, who is a half brother to Tim and Pat Murphy, was originally named Mike Mur- phy, to denote the relationship probably, but it did not suit the taste of his esthetic purchaser at the Palo Alto stock farm sale. he youngster was slow to get away but showed a good turn of speed. Eddie Jones seems to be carrying off the jockey honors ea: He again rode three winners yesterday, including Rowena B, winner of the stake event.

One of those held last night was the fort- nightly gathering of the Howard Club, which has started out with the ambition and promise of being the banner Republi- can club of the City during the coming | campaign. The largest hall in Pythian Castle was packea at the meeting, which was pre- sided over by Frederick Fry. Brief and snappny speeches were delivered by John T. Dare, Justice G. C. Groezinger, A. T.

OFFER OF THE LICK TRUST. Delegations Given Thirty Days to Amend Pending Proposi- tions. The Board of Regents of the State Uni- versity, at a special meeting held yester- day at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, to consider sites for the Wilmerding school, listened to delegations represent- ing San Francisco, Alameda and San Joa- quin counties. The Regents attending were Governor Budd, Hallidie, Martin, Houghton, Jeter, Wallace, John E. Budd, Marye, Chase, Reinstein, Phelps, Black, Lynch, Rodgers, Slack, Foote and Hell- man.’ The introduction of the new Regent, the Governor's brother, John E. Budd, was brief. The report of the special committee on sites for Wilmerding school, which was submitted at the last meeting and laid over, was taken up and read by J. West Martin. Seventeen offers are enumerated, which embrace tenders from San Fran- cisco, San Leandro, Redwood City, Berke- ley, Fruitvaie, Oakland, Lorin, Lakeport and Stockton. The report of the committee recom- mends the acceptance of the Temescal site, and for the purpose of getting the question properly presented, J. West Martin moved the adoption of the report. ‘Alfred Bouvier then addressed the board, advocating the selection of a site in San Francisco. He spoke as a representative of the State Development Committee. James D. Phelan read a memorial from a joint committee of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation, Chamber of Commerce, Mechanics’ Institute. the Art Association and State Development Company. The memorial is sizned by James D. Phelan, Alfred Bou- vier, Henry J. Crocker, Joseph M. Lefi- geti, Hugo D. Keil and J. Richard Freud. The conclusions of the memorial are: First—A trades school should be located where ill do the most good. Second—That in this view San Francisco is the most desirable location. And, Third—That the Regents and tke Lick trustees, acting independently, vet in har- mony, have it iu their power to provide a great trades school; but if these forces are divided two schools will result, both inefficient and in- adequate. Therefore, we urge upon the wisdom of the Regents to confer with the Lick trustees, and if arrangements as to site cannot be satisfac- torily arranged on the land of the Lick trustees, which is large enough for both, then this committee will seek a site in the neighbor- hood and offer it to the Regents. But the sug- ments whereby & building now owned by them, but insufficiently equipped, shall be enlarged and made exclusively a working trades school School, having an independent faculty, will, with least expense and greatest efficiency, fultill the noble object of the trust established by J.C. Wilmerding, a San Francisco citizen and merchant durin, career in the metropolis, where for the favors of his fortune. Eowar of the Lick trustees to amalgamate. udge Wallace spoke on the subject, which mittee. Horace Davis of the Lick board of trus- tees came in while the goint was under discussion. It was his judgment that the power to combine the Lick School with another institution was not denied in the trust. He said: “We have built a school. It is a success, and we go right along think we can do better and broader work by co-operating. We do not propose that you should be our tenants. e should like to have you come and acquire prop- erty in our neighborhood. We have had experience and vou can share the benefit of that experience.” It was explamned further in detail that the course oi instruction could be ex- tended from fourteen branches now taught to twenty-two, and further, that 250 pupils of the Wilmerding School could be main- tained at 80 per cent of the income of $400,000, and therefore experience to guide the Regents in the future could be ac- quired without the sacrifice of any part of the bequest. The $400,000 remaining intact would be increased by 20 per cent of the income. Mr. Dohrmann, in sddressing the Refients. held that any experiment that could be made without investing a large portion of the bequest 11 buildings and lands should be comnt_ided. The school, he said, was not land and buildings, but education. The San Francisco committee was given thirty days to submit other propositions. The offer pending was referred to the law committee of Regents—Rodgers, Wallace and Foote. In answer to inquiries from Governor Budd, James D. Phelan said the San Jose proposition, offering land near the Hotel Vendome, was still open. The Stockton eommittee, consisting of H. J. Corcoran, P. B. Fraser, L. D.Woods, James Marsh. H. C. Shaw and Mrs. James Gillis. was next heard, Mr. Corcoran, the chief spokesman, pre- sented his case with force'and clearness. The proposition pending as he understood it was to give the San Francisco boy, who now has the chance to learn fourteen trades in the Lick School, the further chance to learn fwenty-two in a combined school. What he desired was to give the country boy a chance to learn one trade. *If you want to heip your poor boysin San Francisco do away with trades unions.” Mr. Corcoran likened San Francisco to a tcll-gatherer at the sea. The money was gathered from the interier and some of it should be returneds He assureg the re- genxs that i# necessdry public: spirit of tockton would provide money for the buildinés in addition to the land. Mrs. Gillis gpoke of ‘the demoralizing 1n- fluences of metropolitan life on the coun- ury youth, and mentioned the advantages tofith; boy which a country home would aflord. \ ¢ i William R, Davis, leader of the Alameda delegation, then made & Iucid explanation of the pending propesitions’ from that county. He spoke of the pepujation of 110,000 people there, and of the three ex- isting trade schools in fan Francisco, which has a population of 330,000. To place the fourth school in San Francisco and give none to Alameda County would be unjust. He thought that there was danger of the great ‘university becoming topheavy on the San Francisco side. govemor Budd raised the point that the law now required a school of mechanics’ arts to be established at the university, and to place the Wilmerding school there weuld “be giving: Alameda County two schools of industrial art. The Oakland committee, consisting of ‘W. R. Davis, P. E. Bowles and K, M. Fitz- gerald, were given, thirty days’'time, the same as was given to Stockton and San Francisco, to supplement the offers. Regent Rodgers said he had recentiy talked with William Alvord and had rea- son to hope from that conversation that a brother of the late Mr. Wilmerding would d to the donation, as there was a sur- plus in the estate for division.

On motion of Superintendent Black, the gnnci als of Pasadena Polytechnical chool, tue Cogswell, Lick and San Fran- cisco Polytechnical schools were invited to come before the regents at the next meet- wg. _General Houghton spoke of the proba- bility that the Pioneer Veooleu-mills rop- erty in San Francisco, embracing large and subsiantial buildings, might be offered asa site for the school. Further consideration of the subject was deferred until the regular meeting on the second Tuesday in May. New Irish-American Hall.

Denial That He Eloped With Minnie Andrews—Why He Left His Wife. Evangelist J. D. Barton arrived from Santa Rosa yesterday, where he had been holding forth in missionary work. He denied emphatically the statements made against him by his wife and pub- lished in yesterday morning’s CALL, to the effect that he had deserted her and left ber penniless, and that Mrs. Minnie An- drews (nee Sohl) left the City at the same time as he. Mrs. Andrews in person denied that she had been out of the City, and denounced the insinuations of Mrs. Barton that any- thing other than platonic friendship ex- isted between her and the evangelist. She admitted that she had visited Mr. Bar- ton at his home for the purpose of getting the address of some reputable lawyer to EVANGELIST BARTON BACK collect the insurance money due her from the death of ner husband. R Mr. Barton complained tbat his wife was continually running him in debt, not- withstanding that he used to give her all his money. Before he left this City about a month ago he gave all the furniture and household goods to his wlfe, and she de- manded the key of the house from him, thus virtually turning him out &f doors. He said that bis wife never worked while he was with'her, but that she spent her time gaading about and talking spir- itualism. He was obliged last June, he said, to advertise in Tue CaLL warning tradesmen not to furnish her any crediv on his account. He also_contradicted the statement of Rev. M. V. Meserve, pastor of the Union- square Free Baptist Church, to the effect that Barton took a contract for repairing the church and did the work unsatisfac- torily. The contract, he said, had been taken by Mr. Van Nortdel, Barton’s part= ner in the carpentering and building busi- ness. Mr. Barton worked on the job and Van Nortdel received the money. The evangelist denounced as utterly false his wife's statement that he told her she could make $500 by representing her- self as Mrs. Baddin. He also said that the statement in the dispatch from Santa Rosa to the effect that his uncle was at the Palace Hotel in this City was a mistake. It was the uncle of Mrs. Elizabeth Ayer, secretary of Mr. Barton’s society. Mrs. Ayer also returned from Santa Rosa and the work of further evangeliza- tion will be proceeded with in this City, it being Mr. Barton’s intention to hire a hall this week.
