THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,' SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1896. 11 LA MASCOTA A SURPRIE Out the Hot Favorite Mobalasca. FOUR FAVORITES IN FRONT. St. Lee Won Driving From Tar and Tartar—Palomacita Downed Her Field Easily. It looked as though the favor: godown the line at Ingleside yesterday, but at the very outset the 3tc 5 chance Ottyanna, c: n colors, finished be! the talent a trifle wary of the odds on choices the balance of the day. The card was not up to the ust ndard of excel- Jence that has characterized the racing at the new track, and speculation in the ring was not bri 11 the horses that figured to finish in t flight were of the pro- nounced order the betting, and four of the six sent to the post justified the confi- e might | dence reposed in them by reaching the wire first. Probably the most unexvected defeat was that of Mobalasca, the 11 to 20 favorite for the fifth event, a five and a half fur- long sprint, who was beaten out in a drive by La Mascota, against which as good as 60 to 1 was at one time laid. Sir Richard was a well supported second choice, but | was unfortunate in being cut off just as the barrier was raised and cut little figure in the running, Tod Sloan on the favor- ite rushed the%lly out in front ata great rate, making altogether too much use of her the first part of the journey. ‘In the stretch Slaughter, who had been persever- ing with La Mascota, apparently caught Sloan napping, and after a drive got the outsider past the wire first by aneck. Pat Murphy wasa poor third. The opening five-furlong dash waslooked upon as & good thing for Ottyanna, and the short price of 3to5 was accepted about her. She flattered her admirers by hitting the stretch in the lead, but propped notice- ably on the way to the wire, and was beaten out handily by Last Chance. Five to one was offered against the winner at posi time. The imp. Brutus gelding Peixotto, who appears to be improving with age, caj tured the next race at six furlongs hands down. He remained an 11 to o favorite throughout the betting, and leading from the jump passed the stand galloping, three lengths before Hazel D, a 75 to 1 shot. Figaro was scratched out of the mile purse event, leaving but four to face the 1ssue. Green Morris’ Sir Play, with but 86 pounds 1n the saddle, looked a ‘“‘moral,’" and the books held him at 1 to 2, although a very little 7 to 10 was even laid. He galloped off in front and was never “THE CALL” RACING CHART. ixty-second day of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club’s Winter lleeting, 1895-06. Track, Fridey, April 3, 1896. Weather fine. Track good.

He won, but onlg after a hard tussle through the stretch wit! Tar and Tartar. The colt was always in front, closely ac- companied by the Tar. Swinging into the stretch on nearly equal terms the pair be- gan a dlnpdong struggle. Less than a furlong from the wire St. Lee looked beaten, but responding to Garner’s per- suasive urging came away under punish- ment and won by half a length. Dungar- vle‘r_x,dwell vlayed for tbe place, was a poor third, The black loam covering to the course at Ingleside is evidently not to the liking of Tim Murphy. Backed from sixes down to 4} to 1 in the betting on the last race, a axx-iquonfi selling affair, he showed very prominently in front to the stretch, where the field closed on him. Striking the turn fourth the 8 to 5 fayorite Palomacita went to the front, winning easily from Walter J. Tonino nosed Tim Murphy out for the show. Track and Paddock Items. La Mascota appears to be a great filly for slipping past the wire in front at long odds. On'a previous occasion she won a race at the say District with the pencilers laying anywhere from 100 to 150 to 1 against her chances. Trainer “Daggie” Smith had a small bet on her yesterday. Jockeys Harry Griffin and Hewitt left for the East yesterday to fulfill their engagements with the Blempton stable, Shaw could not make the weignt to ride Tar and Tartar and was replaced by Mack- lin. The colored chap put up an excel- lent ride. The horses of Dan Honig, the St. Louis turfman, will leave for Roby to-might. All will be shipped with the exception of Brametta, Julia O, Jane Andrew and Win- nie Dee, which quartet will be sent to B Holly's ranch at Fiosden to pases the summer months. Jockey Garner of course accompanies the string East. Mr. Honig announced himself last evening as greatly pleased with his California trip, xfmfii will be one of the early comers in the all, When the barrier dispatched the field thatlined up the second event, Meadow Lark, a_very fretful and nervous horse, wheeled and started the reyerse way of the track. He was fairly well supported in the betting at very remunerative odds on the strength of some past workouts. Bookmaker “Billy’” Beverly was caught out of line on the La Mascota race and was reported to have cashed some very rosy- looking tickets on the outside. Bd Purser backed Smith’s mare to a small extent. The announcement made in a morning paper that Thomas H. Williams Jr. had secured a lease of the Los Angeles County Agricultural Society’s track did not state whether or not Governor Budd had sanc- tioned the deal. The consent of his Ex- cellency is necessary before the contract can be closed. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club has ac- Cepted the plans of Architect George H. Walker for its elegant new clubhouse to be erected to the west of the grand stand. Contractor T. J. Welch, who will superin- teud its construstion, will begin work at the close of the present racing season in Jul; The building will be palatial in its appointments, costing in the neighborhood of $20,000. Sir Richard was unfortunate in gettinga poor start, but showed little §peed after he did get under way. The judges inquired into his running, but as the stable gave conyincing proof that the horse had been backed the officials were satisfied that no attempt at fraud had been tried. It is really surprising how a change in tracks affects some horses. Ricardo, a very useful sort of a horse, was well backed to win the second event, but seemed to possess just enough speed to keep outside of the coin. The officials at Ingleside have aecided that the entries of “Tom’ Gritfin will be received at that track. Ruls 7 of the Turf Congress says, “That ruiings of asscci- ations not members of the Turf Congress shall not be regarded except in cases of fraud.” The case of Green Morris is cited, whose entries were received while under suspension at the Bay District, and as no fraud is alleged on Griffin’s part in connec- tion with the running of Fairfaith, there is no just reason w hy he should not be allowed to race his horses. Blakely can run his jumpers at the Bay District, but the entry of Fairfaith is excluded. Until the ques- tion of ownership is definitely fixed the horse’s éntry will not be received at Ingle- side. This was the substance of a ruling handed to Secretary Leake yesterday. ——— STEROGRAPHER'S PLANT He Sues F. Alleyne Orr, the Attorney, for $10 for Services Rendered. An Agreement Made That the Statute Should Not Run Against the Debt. Attorney F. Alleyne Orr, who gained fame and it was supposed fortune, in settling the claims of the men of the United States cruiser Baltimore against the Government of Chile at the time they were assaulted in Valparaiso by Chilean soldiers, was sued in the Justices Court yesterday for $10, the complaint making some very peculiar agreement with the plaintiff that the statute of limitations should not run against the debt. The plaintiff, Robert Williamson, al- leges that within several years last past he performed services as stenographer and typewriter at the special instance and re- quest of Orr, of the reasonable value of $80. That of said $80 plaintift waived to defend- ant the payment of about $60, the defendant claiming that he could not get the money from his principal or client. 3 That of the remaining $20 défendant paid laintiff sums in the aggregate amounting to 510, from one nickel and upward at a time, and gave the plaintiff an acknowledgment to keep the statute of limitations from running against the same. That tnere is still due and unpaid to plaintiff the sum of $10, despite the fact that for nearly two years plaintiff, two or three times a week, generally on the’ promise of payment from said Orr at a time definitely stated has de- manded it. That plaintiff has suffered great loss of time and great and grievous wear and tear of shoe. leather in_the efforts to collect from said Orr, Wwhich said $10 has not yet forthcome. “BULL” HARRINGTON DIES. His Asgsailant, Willilam MoNulty, Charged With Murder, James, alias ‘‘Bull,” Harrington, the man who was shot by William McNulty in a street row on Sixteenth and Mission streets last'Friday night, died at 7 o’clock Jast evening. During the afternoon the nolice brought McNulty, who is alleged to have done the shooting, from the prison to the hospital where he was formally iden- titied by the dying man. On the night of the shooting Harrington and another man entered the saloon of McNulty and at once proceeded to make things uncomfortable for all in the rcom. The two men were finally ejected from the saloon, but lay in wait on the outside for McNulty. The latter appeared shortly ‘afterward, when he was attacked by Har- rington and his companion. The bar- keeper pulled his pistol, firing one shot which took effect in Harrington's rizht breast. McNulty was booked at the Central sta- tion last night charged with murde; Is ——————— Oh, what a comfort Mitchell’s Magic Lotion da is for bruises, piles, sore throat ,neuralgia. allegations.

Several members of the Ihterstate Cours- ing Club, which is recognized as the only thorough coursing club west of the Rocky Mountains, were seen yesterday in refer- ence to Charles Holbrook’s statement that coursing is a cruel and beastly sport, and that he will use his best endeavors to pre- vent coursing within the county of San Francisco. Dominick Shannon, the president of the Interstate Coursing Club, said that cours- ing was far less cruel than many other branches of sport. *We will take, forinstance, horse-racing, which is conducied in the county of San Francisco,” said Mr, Shannon. “I have frequently seen jockeys spur and slash the animals on which they were mounted until the horse’s flanks were painted red with the blood that oozed from torn flesh. Does Mr. Holbrook consider this humane sport? Of course there are horses that must re- ceive punishment to comPel them to ex- ert themselves 1n the final struggle to get under the wire a winner, but everything pertaining to horse-racing is seeminuly overlooked by the president of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and why? “Now, then, so far as coursing is con- cerned, Mr, Holbrook makes a grievous mistake when he says that he had seen greyhounds tear hares to pieces while the latter were in a dying state. ‘*‘Any person conversant with coursing or shooting knows only too well that when a greyhound catches a hare, death is in- stantaneous. Quite frequently greyhounds will retrieve their game, and when two hounds dispute their right to the prize, the dead hare is mutilated to a certain extent until one of the contesting dogs becomes the possessor of the animal they vursued and killed. . “Does Mr. Holbrook contend that cours- ing is a more brutal sport—so termed by him — than duck or quail shooting? Thousands of game birds are maimed every year by sportsmen and die ia agony from the wounds inflicted. The fact of the matter is that coursing is as humane a sport as many other pastimes that are indulged in by thousands of people, and I say that when Mr. Holbrook singfes out coursing from among the many other sports as an objective point for attack he is certainly exceeding his duty aud the aims for which the society was originally intended.” J. H. Rossetter, the treasurer of the In- terstate Coursing Club, voiced the opinions as expressed by Mr. Shannon. He thought tnat Mr. Holbrook was carrying the thin, too far and that there were other nnfi broader fields wherein he could exercise Lis duty with greater credit to himself and b “In Fresno rabbit drives, so called, are held once or twice a year,” said Mr. Ros- seuter, “and during those drives the rab- bits are driven into & corral and slaugh- tered by means of clubs, stones and other implements of torture. Thousands of these rabbits, which are considered pests to the farmer, lie dying on the ground after the clubbing, but.Mr. Holbrook made no reference in the interview: which was published in THE CALL to the ‘slaughter of the innocents,” as reported by the special correspondents of the morning papers. ‘‘Coursing i, the inclosed park is not cruel sport. The hares are fed while in confinement, and when coursed in the open field they run for the escapes, which are at either end of the park,” and if the little sbort-tails are smart enough to reacn those escapes before they are caught the hounds are balked and cannot continue the course any longer., ““No, I do not consider coursing a cruel sport by any means, and theres is not a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals who will go further to punish a man who indulges in brutality to dumb animals than J. H. Rossetter.” John Grace, the well-known judge of coursing, was indignant at the thiought of any sane man calling coursing brutal. ‘It is very strange,’’ said Mr. Grace, ‘‘that there are so many brutal sportsmen in England among the nobility who wit- ness and support the great Waterloo oup meeting, which is one of the leading sport- ing events of the year in England. *‘I would wager a very snug sum that if Mr. Holbrook attended” the Waterloo cup meeting and attempted to stop the sport, he would be accorded a reception which would not assist to further his appe- tite for a good dinner on_his return from the coursing sward. I also venture a pre- diction that if Mr. Holbrook attempts to interfere with the sport of the leash in this county he cannot find a jury, even among his own deputies, that will" return a verdict against the continuation of the sport. If Mr. Holbrook had any experi- ence in farming in Fresno and Merced counties he wounld quickly change his mind as regards this so-called brutal sport.’’ J. P. Dickson, W. C. Payton of Santa | Cruz and otber prominent sportsmen in- | terested in coursing spoke very strongly | against Mr. Holbrook’s intention of put- | ting a stop to the sport. A. Lorsbach, a member of the Bociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal when asked for his opinion of coursing, said that he had witnessed meetings and did not see any more brutality in the kill- ing of hares by greyhounds than there exists in shooting wild ducks and quail. ‘‘There is an element of brutality in_all sports of the field and stream,” said Mr. Lorsbach, “but I think if coursing must be stopped many other sports such as shooting and fishing skould be stopped also. Ithink an angler manifests a degree of brutality when he takes a fish from the hook and throws it ifito his basket, where it kicks and flounders in pain until it expires. “*The same may be said of shooting. I witnessed a foctball match in this City among college students once, and 1 must say that brutality was manifest in many ways. I saw some of the contestants car- ried off the tield suffering from severe cuts. I consider that sport of this nature should be modified. As I said before,in my opinion if coursing is brutal so are many other pas- times which are patronized by thousands of American sportsmen.’” Jobn Sammi, who recently resigned from the society, said that. he could not understand Mr. Hotbrook’s idea of put- ting a stop to comlnfi ¢ *It has been a popular sport for years in this country,” said Mr, Sammi, “and how Mr. Holbrook discovered at this late hour that it is brutal and cruel is a conundrum which I am powerless to solve. I think that the president of the society must have been misinformed as regards the brutality of :onrning. I certainly cannot gee any harm in_the sport, but then of course I am not a Holbrook.” George Mipchell, a prominent member of the society, refused to be interviewed on the subject. He said that he had never witnessed a coursihg match nor a horse- race, and therefore could not give an opinion for cr against the sport. said tl?nt when a boy he went hunting occa- sionally and killed rabbits, but he always felt sorry for the little animals. Pos- sbly tne Interstate Coursing Club will extend Mr. Mitchell an invitation to wit- ness the next meeting, when he will be afforded ocular demonstration of what Mr. Holbrook terms brutal sport. ames E.

She Tells How Paine’s Celery Compound Has Bensfited Dr. Parkhurst’s best aid in his untiring crusade against crime in the metropolis is his wife. In looking after her husband’s health Mrs. Parkhurst is doing more than all the members of the women’s campaign. “Am I worried about the doctor?” says Mrs. | Parkhurst. “Not at all. I feel that he is tired, but he recuperates, and I never try to binder him from a viece of work, be- | it. My greatest pleasure is in helping him to carry out his ideas.” Mrs. Parkhurst wrote to Wells & Richardson Company, January 22, 1896: “Dr. Parkhurst has used Paine's celery compound for two weeks with beneficent | results. It has helped to keep him up | while very tired.” | In a subsequent letter to the same drug- | gists on January 28 she said: “Iam sure | the Paine’s celery compound is doing Dr. | Parkhurst good.

Theré is nothing experimental about it. 5 o remedy in existence ever received such emphatic and plain-spoken testi- monials from sick, ailing, tired and run- down men and women. It is no half-way cure that is aitempted by Paine’s celery compound, but a clean sweep of every trace of neuralgia, rheu, matism, constipation, headache, dyspepsia and blood impurity irom the system. Take Paine’s celery compound in the spring to purify the blood, strengthen the nerves and make health! o, said that Mr. Holbrook was car thing to extremes, and thatcoursing is one of the leading field sports of the present day. glr. Hughes said that Mr. Holbrook sent a deputy to the racetrack a few day ago with instructions to stop a bluero: shoot that was being held under the auspices of the Olympic Club. Mr. Hol- brook was informed that the binerocks were being held in painful captivity and suffered great injury at the hands of the shooters. Needless to remark that the deputy felt sheepisb when he retired from the shooting grounds. FAVOR THE CHARTER. Cyclists and Calliopeans Will Work Hayd for the New City Instrument. Much interest in the new charter is being manifested in club and business circles. The Callippean Club, which num- bers among its members many cf the leading young gentlemen of the City, in- tends to inaugurate a discussion upon the proposed instrument, with a view to advo- cating- its adoption: In order that the members might be made more conversant with the special features of the document, 8. ¥. Water, one of the leading spirits of the ciub, has procured copies of the neat little brochure *‘A Synopsis of the New Charter,”’ issued by the Merchants’ Assos. ciation, a copy of whichis to he sent to each member of the club. Another organization as deeply inter- ested 1n tne matter isthe new Cycle Board of Trade, which held its inaugaral session last Wednesday night in the Cyclorama building. The board is paying particular attention to those portions of the instru- ment which deal with the matter of streets; roads and boulevards and their improve- ment and extension. J. 8.
