THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1896. like rain, how to spend their surplus cash without lsoking for a double return, did not win the event, but he finished. There were six starters for the run, which was a mile and a quarter over five hurdles. Brandy, ridden by Mr. Bagot, who went to the pos: equal favorite in the betting with Aladdin, led throughout and won eased | up tenlengths in front of Li Hung Chang, ridden by Mr. Neave. Aladdin, piloted by a dashing young rider with curly locks named Mr. Skinner, was third about the same distance away. Mr. McCreery’s mount, Barbara, looked dangerous at one time,but tired in the stretch. Lord Clifton, astride Jumping Jack, was never very ¢l:lo.=e to the leaders. It was whispered “My Lord” had a swell wager placed that he would not fall off. If he did he won iteasy. The attendance was large and some fine opportunities were offered for guessing. William Pinkerton and Sailie Clicquot, both at odds on, and Brandy were the win- ning favorites, the balance of the races Boing to outsiders 1n the betting. ; The_win of Schnitz at odds of 40 to 1 in the mile selling event was the big surprise of the day’s sport. Taking the lead soon after being sent away the outsider made the running, and in a drive won by & bead from Collins. The 11 to 5 favorite Scimitar finished fitth. While the field was at the post for the mile purse race an accident deprived the second choice, Cabrillo, and the out- | sider Fortuna of all chance of winning. | ‘As the barrier was raised Cabrillo started to wheel round just as Fortuna broke, and a collision was the result. Tod Sloane, the rider of Cabrillo, was struck in the face by Fortuna’s head, dazing him, and, after his mount had run a few yards, fell off. He quickly revived after being carried to the judges’ stand. This left but three to tinish | the race.

The programme is one of the best yet offered race-goers. Special cars will be run as usual for the accommodation of the fair sex. The conditions of the *‘Over the Moun- tain Handicap,” to be run on April 14, have been-changed to read as follows: For three-year-olds and upward. Those en- tered not to be sold to carrv seven pounds above the scale. Those entered for $2000 to carry weight for age. One pound al- lowed for each $100 less to $500. Six fur- longs. Beaten horses not liable to claim. The four-year-oid chestnut gelding Soon Enough, by El Rio Rey-Sooner, died of catarrhal fever at the Bay District track on Sunday. He had performed with some success both on the flat and over the “sticks.” Beokmaker Peter Riley and crew de- parted for Roby last evening. Although originally containing a large list of entries, lfie six-furlong handicap on yesterday’s card had to be declared off for lack of starters. Schnitz, the winner of the third race, was bid up $300 over his entered selling rice of $200 by H. Fofsland, tte form- ook man. His owner retained him. AMONG THE WHEELMEN. The National Racing Circuit to Open in Denver, and Not Here. The Imperial Club Nominates Offi- cers and Names Its Relay Team. It has been decided not to have the Na- tional racing circuit commence in Califor- nia. This conclusion was reached yester- day by R. M. Welcn of the racing board. He said that the demand for dates on the circuit was not sufficient to warrant the Bastern racing men coming here, and for that reason it has been decided to open the racing circuit on May 16 at Denver and ork eastward from that point. { wThis will not affect the dates which have already been arranged for next month, however, and race meetings will be held at Santa Rosa, Oakland, Healdsburg and San Jose, but they will not be National circuit meets. All the fast California riders and such Easterners as are now here will com- pere and the events will be full of interest. Tom Cooper, the Detroit flier, and Lee Richardson, champion trick-rider, who have been exvected here during the past few days, will not arrive for two weeks, 5 and as the circuit will start in Denver, may not come at all. This will be quite a disappointment to their many iriends here. The Imperial Cycling Club has adopted a ~lub sweater of silver gray, trimmed with purple. They are quite handsome and all the members will soon be wearing them. The Bay City Wheelmen are still unde- cided as to one or two men for their relay team and will hold another five-mile try- out as Alameda to-day to settle the matter. Harry F. Terrill, one of the club’s strong- est riders, has been ill since last Saturday and will probabiy not ride, so that his place will also have to be filled. F. C. Chandler, manager of the Cleve- land branch house on this coast, will shortly leave here to take charge of the company’s interests in London. His suc- cessor has not been named, though he may be E. E. Stoddard of the Bay City Wheel- men, who represented the Western W heel Works of Chicago until recently, when he left them to go with the Cleveland people. The San Jose Road Club celebrated its fourth anniversary yesterday. Maurice Stewart of the Bay City Wheel- men left yesterday for a trip through So- lano County. The Imperial Cycling Club’s relay team will be composed of M essrs. Bozio, Ortion, Metcalfe, Barley, Cook, Maack, Blakeslee, Alborelle, Borre and Byrne. At a meeting last Monday night the fol- lowing officers were nominated for the en- suing term: President, R. L. Radke; vice- presidents, H. Todd and G. Sullivan; secretary, John 8. Egan; financial secre- tary and treasurer, George J. Panario; captains, J. F. Burns, J. L. Barrow and J. 8. Dawson. Secretaries of clubs intending to enter teams in the coming relay must file the names of their men with Chairman Strat- ton of the road-racing committee of the associated clubs not later than “to-morrow evening.

Battu was elected treasurer of the club in place of John Stack, who has not attended a meeting since last October. A letter was read from Victor Harrier, the treasurer of the Mallard Gun Club and organizer of the Solano County Sports- men’s Club, in which it stated that neither the writer nor members of the club he rep- resented could assist in any way to further the interests of the association by the sale of tickets for its annual picnic. Thbe association unanimously decided to cut away from the Mallard and Sclano County clubs, the membership of which in future will have to fight their own battles minus the support of the Sportsmen’s Pro- tective Association. Committees were appointed for the pic- nic, which promises to be both financially and socially a most successful affair. The Interstate Coursing Club met last evening and arrangements for the second grand meeting at Newark Park on the 18th inst. were perfected. The drawing for the races will be held on Thursday evening, and the secretary hopes_that all sportsmen who are inter- ested in the meeting will be present at an early hour. The Ariel Rowin§ Club gave an enter- tainment and dance last evening at Union- square Hall, which was largely attended. The officers of the club are: President, G. T. McGinness; vice-president, P. J. En. right; secretary, Eugene Flanders; treas- urer, J. F. Coughlin; cnfitnn, Robert Ellis; lieutenant-captain, H. A. Pless. The club will hold its annual picnic this yearin Sunset Park, Santa Cruz Mountains.

WEBSTER-STREET BRIDGE PROTEST, Alameda Citizens Send Their Memorial to Colonel Suter. UNCLE SAM'S POWERS. Federal Authorities Have Noth- ing to Do With the Matter, CONTROLS ONLY THE ESTUARY Government’s One Duty Is to Look Out for the Drawbridge Constructions. The citizens of the western portion of Alameda have taken formal steps in pro- test against the removal of the Webster- street bridge. City Attorney Taylor for- mulated the protest, which was adopted as a resolution by the municipal board and yesterday laid it before Colonel Suter, chief of the engineer corps of the Pacitic depart- ment, for transmission to Washington. The protest covering the arguments al- ready presented in THE CALL interviews is as follows: Resolved, That the following statement of facts be forwarded to the honorable Secretary of War as grounds for remonstrance against changing the location of the drawbridge con- necting Alameda and Oakland known as the Webster-street drawbridge. First—Said bridge has been at its present lo- cation for more than & quarter of a century. Between the bridge and the highland of Ala- meda extends a mile of roaaway, constructed at great expense over & marsh of such nature that it took many years of settling and refill- ing before the roadway obtained its present foundation. Any material change in the loca- tion of said bridge will require, at great ex- pense, the construction of another roadway, which might not obtain solidity for years. The city of Alameds has no other street or right of way over this marsh, and a street could only be opened at great expense and aiter many legal delays. Second—The present bridge is located at a point which best suits the convenience of the public traveling between Alameda and Oak- land. Third—The direct continuation of sald road- way in the city of Alameda is known as Sey- enth street, and is a business center. There is no other business street (n said city within a distance of two miles, and as Alameda isa resi- dence city it is not desirable to create new business centers. Fourth—The location of said bridge is at the narrowest point on the estuary or harbor lying between Alameds and Oakland, and the con- struction of & bridge elsewhere would entail not only great cost of erection, but additional cost and danger in maintenance. Fifth—The approaches and streets leading to this bridge, on both the Alameda and Oakland sides, have been constructed and improved so as to render easy access to the present bridge, and any change would seriously discommode the traveling public and require large outlay to construct and improve new approaches. Sixth—The abandonment of said roadway would divert travel and trade from its present channels and destroy long-established real estate values and business interests, and cause irreparable injury to the entire city of Ala- meda. Resolved further, Thatif the War Department decides to construct a bridge at anew location thatsaid department be requested not to lo- cate the same eastward of the railroad bridge owued by the Southern Pacific Company, situ- ated near said first-mentioned drawbridge. Notwithstanding the adoption of ;these resolutions, the West End people declare that they are in favor of replacing the two old bridges with one new bridge, which shall hayve Webster street as its Alameda approach. The Alameda Argus, in editorial refer- ence to the project, says: Our idea of an estuary bridge is a double- decker, the upper deck to carry the wagon traffic and to have approaches so long as to carry it past the railway tracks and water- front hurly-burly that crowds down on the Osakland shore of the estuary. It will soon be 8o that the Oakland approach to the bridge will be well blocked by the miscellaneous traffic of shipping and the frequent running of ireignt, local passenger and electric cars. If the vehicles could be carried over all this and landed to the north of First street it would greatly encourage wsgon traffic ana conduce to the public safety. As indicated in the protest sent to Colonel Suter, there is a general impres- sion that the War Department is to settle the bridge question. That is not the case as the Government engineers explain. The Federal authorities can only declare whether the bridges over the estuary are a hindrance to navigation. The Federal Government is to look out for the rights of the ships in Oakland harbor. It cannot prevent the county from main- taining the old bridge at Webster street, | and neither the Federal Government nor I the county can prevent the railroad com- pany from building the Alice-street bridge while the railroad owns the right of way for the bridge. All that the Federal Government can do is to regulate the drawbridges. The situation is this: The railroad company has concluded to rebuild the Alice-street bridge and run both railroad tracks over it. It has notified the Govern- ment engineer of that. The Government engineer demands that a drawbridge about twice as long as the present one be provided, and the railroad company does not want to build so much of a draw- bridge. The authorities at Washington are to decide whether the railroad’s new drawbridge must have a span of 150 feet or not. ‘With the railroad’s new bridee in use the county would be compelled to main- tain the old Webster-street bridge, which is maintained in its present. rickety condi- tion by the railroad company in payment for its use of the bridge. The bridge is admitted to be of little value, with ap- proaches that have caused criticism for years. The shipping men and others assert that thisis a favorable time to supplant the two old unsubstantial bridges with a bridge that will be safe and commodious, and at the same time a structure of archi- tectural merit. The railroad company has Dot made any overtures to the county re- garding & bridge to be built at joint ex- pense, but at the meeting in Colonel Suter’s office Mr. Curtis stated, in response to a question, that the company would be willing to consider the proposition. No action has been taken by the county, however, and the railroad is going on with its preparations to build its own bridge. The principal advocates of a union bridge 1 are the shipping men, and their interest is in having only one drawbridge at the lower part of the estuary. WHISTLE FOR HIS PAY. That Seems to Be All That Is Left for Laborer Henshaw to Do by Way of Pastime. “We are constantly obliged to listen to tales of fraud and oppression,” remarked Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald yesterday. “One of our latest cases is that of a poor workman named Henshaw, who asked our aid in collecting a claim for §8 15. He went to work under the McCoy grading contract at the Mission, and is said to be a good, willing and capable marfy, When McCoy failed the contract was dssigned toJ.J. Rauer. who assumed the obligation of see- ing that the employes were paid. He eaid he was sure there was money enongh in the contract to meet all claims out- standing. “The work was finished, and_matters commenced to look black for the Henshaw household. They were six months behind with the rent, and living, God knows how, on nothing a week. Henshaw came to me in great distress a few days ago, beg- gin% the commission to help him collect his Iittle ciaim, which means so much 10 him and his family. Deputy Commis- sioner Dam wrote to Rauer, and this is the answer.”’ “The answer’’ consisted of Mr. Dam's note, which had been returned, across the back of it being scrawled the words: I have lost $1365 on the same. “Meanwhile,” commented Mr. Fitzger- ald, *‘poor Henshaw may whistle for his money.” A LAMP EXPLOSION. It Destroys Five Hundred Dollars’ Worth of Property. The explosion of a lamp in the residence of George Savage, 754 Harrison street, shortly after 11 o'clock last night, led to the destruction of $500 worth of property. There was no insurance. CHEERED BY THOUSANDS, Monsignor Nugent Given a Pub- lic Reception at Metro- politan Hall. He Tells of His Labors Among the Poor and Destitute of Liver- pool. A large audience gave Monsignor Nu- gent, the noted apostle of the poor of Liver- pool, a royal California welcome at Metro- politan Hall last night. The reception to the distinguished visitor was under the auspices of the Legion of the Cross, the St. Vincent de Paul Society ana St. Joseph’s Union. The preliminaries included addresses of welcome by J. M. Burnett and Frank J. Sullivan, selections by Blanchard’sorches- tra, and the Press Club’s quartet (Messrs. Coffin, Parent, Tilton and Warde) was so well received that repeated encores were demanded and given. In the course of his address, reviewing | the work of Monsignor Nugent among the | waifs and strays of Liverpool, Mr. Suili- van took occasion to praise Father Crov- ley and the Youths’ Directory in this City and said it should appeal to the charity of the people. *‘Why can't we doin San Francisco,” he said, “‘what Monsignor Nugent has donein Liverpool? The boy of to-day is the man of to-morrow, and the brains of the home- less boy are as good as those of the rich man’s son and his soul is just as pure.”’ Archbishop Riordan delivered a brief | and eloguent address in welcoming Mon- | signor Nugent to San Francisco. | “Iam delighted beyond measure,’”’ said the Archbishop, ‘‘that my friend of thirty vears has met with such 8 warm welcome in our City. It was in Chicago, just after the great fire, when [ first met Mgr. Nugent, and I can never forget his sym- | patby in the hour of our affliction. We, | who love the cause of humanity, and the cause of temperance, to-night tender him | our warmest affection. When I was in Liverpool last year I went out with Mpgr. Nugent, and everybody wanted to shake him by the hand. “Therefore I am glad to say to him pub- licly what I feel in my heart, that we gladly welcome him to this City. “Mgr. Nugent knows me too well to be- lieve 1t necessary for me to make a public profession of my friendship. For thirty vears we have known each other. For thirty years we have been friends and loved each other.” *“This demonstration overwhelms me,” said Monsignor Nugent, ‘‘for never in my life have I had such a witness of any ser- vice I have done for the people. I appre- ciate to the full the deep affection of your glorious archbishop, and it is to me the greatest honor that be should, in the presence of this vast multitude, take me to his arms, as it were, in deep affection. “‘God in his providence cast my field of duty among the people, and I know the people because I sprung from them. Having been born in the great city of Liverpool I knew something of the wants of our people, and as a mere youth I made resolutions that my first efforts would be to do sometLing in a humble way for orphans and destitute boys on lines similar to those I had witnessed in an in- stitution in Rome. “In 1863 a law was passed in England called the Prison Minister’s Act, giving power to the magistrates to appoint a Catholic priest as prison chaplain. So I was selected for a place, and when I en- tered the prison walls I was appalled at the condition of the prisoners, and then I began to inquire why it was that so many of our people, so_bright, active, so gifted were there, and I found that it was from drink. “‘James Greenwood, author of the ‘Seven Curses of London,’ tells us that in 1868 there were 100,000 children knocking about the city of London, and in Liver- pool 40,000 between the ages of 5 and 14 were without education, and 20,000 of these were at large upon the street. Drink was the cause of the neglect. At that time I had not the courage to lift up the standard of Father Mathew. SoIgathered a few workmen about me and I made them promise not to go into a public house on a Saturday night tospend their money, as it belonged to their family, and to kecp away from it on Sunday, as it was the Lord’s day, and on Monday, because they should begin their work well. I hired an old theater and gathered the boys of the street, and thus began the work which I have succeeded in carrying on.” Monsignor Nugent reviewed the rise of che League of the Cross which he estab- lished in England, and gave graphic re- citals of the ruin and destitution that in- temperance had caused among the work- ing classes of Liverpool. He closed with an eloquent and touching plea to his hearers to do what they could to aid the temperance movement. .

ASINGULAR RECOVERY Mrs. Lee Walters, 823 First Street, Los Angeles, Tells the Public How Mueh Has Been Done for Her. SHE BELIEVES lfiE HOME REMEDY A Peculiar Case of Nervous Dyspepsia, In- somnia and Impure Blood Has Just Been Successfully Cured by the Great Home Remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla—It Has Astonished the Doctors of Los An- geles, Many of Whom Are Now Making an Investigation. A true and authentic story comes from the city of Los Angeles which is really marvelous. It is especially interesting to those suffering from dyspepsia and an im- poverished blood, for, while the individual is now permanently cured, many doctors are wondering how the cure was effected, and it is given out that the physicians of Los Angeles are secretly investizating the “formule” of what is known as Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, Four years ago Mrs. Lee Walters was considered one of the handsome women of Los Angeles. Up to that time she was in perfect health. All of a suiden she devel- oped headaches—dyspepsia. Her case was so painful that many of the best phy cians were called in, but they could only give temporary relief. Abouta year ago Mrs. Lee Walters began using Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. She has compietely recovered her lost health. All the old symptoms have disappeared. She writes for the benefit of those who may be similarly afflicted : THE EDWIN W.
