THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1896. FIVE FAVORITES IN FRONT: The Talent Were in Good Form the Opening Day of the Week's Sport. ARTEMUS WAS A GOOD THING. Joe Terry Toock His Race in a Hard Drive—Piggott’s Riding Landed Chartreuse First. Favorites opened the week’s racing auspiciously at the Bay District yesterday, capturing five of the seven events on the card. creased attendance and the crowd went home with reimbursed bank-rolls. The racing was characterized by two very close finishes in which the odds on choices fared well. About the “softest” coin the talent ex- tracted from the coffers of the gracious and obliging pencilers was on the hur- dleevent. Artemus carrying 132 pounds and piloted by W. Ciancy was pounded off the boards, finally closing at 9 to 10. He took the lead at the start and spreadeagled The fine weather attracted an in- | | his field, winning pulled up to a jog, with | Malo Diablo finishing in the place, four | lengths away. The field composed a very 1 ordinary lot of “platers,”” but the winner’s time for the mile and a quarter, 2:23, was a most creditable performance, consider- g the track, which was heavy. The betting on the opening :{x-furlox}g run was a decidedly open betting affair. At posttime old Oregon Eclipse, with 3 to 1about him, had a slight call over the bal- ance of the favorite ones. The result was ! most surprising. Easel, at 10 to 1, who in the majority of her races.in the past loved to run out in front for a while and then back up, took the lead and maintained her | advantage to the end, passing the wire a neck before the third choice, Kicardo. The favorite was a close third. For the mile dash over the inside course Joe Terry ruled a hot 1to 2 choice through- out the betting, and succeeded in winning only by the narrowest of margins. Tak- ing the lead, just before turning into the stretch, it took Slaughter’s greatest effort to get him past the finishing-post a head in front of the 20 to1 chance, Miss Ruth, | ridden by Snider. Charles A was third. The third event was a five-furlong scram- | ble for *‘crabs” with lightweights up. De Groat, a 25 to 1 shot, with Billy Hill in the saddle, led until within forty yards of | the wire, when he was passed and beaten out by the 8 to 5 second choice, Rey Aita. The 6to 5 choice, Rapido, was never dan- gerous. : The four-furlong dash for maiden two- year-olds developed a very promising voungster in George Barron's bay colt. Sweet William, a son of Fitzjames. ~Start- ing equal favorite with Fannie S, he jumped out in the lead and won in typical “icity block” fashion, with Tortoise, a 10 to 1 shot, landing in the place. Show honors went to the bfilck colt, Valdos. % The chestnut mare Seraphin, carrying “THE CALL” RACING CHART. c ifornia Jockey Club’'s Spring [lleeting. Tenth day, Monday, April 27, 1896. Weather ine.

Conway’s colors, was well backed at 6 to5 to win the following, a five-furlong sprint under light welter-weight condi- tions, and cleverly piloted by young Rowan won handiiy at the end by three ;enfiths. Fleet, who showed prominently in the lead most of the distance, stopped badly in the stretch. Second place was taken by Garcia, who beat Hal Fisher out three-parts of a length. Bookmaker Humphrey’s Chartreuse was a prohibitive choice for the concluding event of the day, a five-furlong spin, de- cided under selling conditions, and it was due solely to Piggott’s superior finishing owers over Slaughter that she won. The &tter rider on Peixotto and the odds-on favorite indulged in a battle roval from the nise of the barrier, and opposite the pad- dock Chartreuse looked beaten. Pigeott, however, reserved himself for a final ef- fort, ana ten yards from the wire shot the first choice’s head past the outsider and gained the verdict. Hermanito took third place. WILL NOT CLOSE I8 MY, A False Rumor Circulated Re- garding the Closing of Ingle- side’s Racing Season. The New Club Will Continue Giving Rich Purses for All Classes of Racers—Turf Gossip. Considerable consternation was caused among horsemen at the track, many of whom are clamoring for ‘‘get-away” money, by the announcement made in one of the dailies yesterday to the effect that the coming two weeks’ meeting at Ingle- side track would in all probability be the last one of the presentracing season. That it was an idle ramor, without foundation, was shown by its emphatic denial by A. B. Spreckels, president of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, who gave a prospectus of the racing situation in the following words: ““Whoever inspired that information did so without authority. For the last time I will state that the Pacific Coast Jockey Club will continue racing at its track until and including the 10th day of June. After the exodus of Eastern horses is over there will be plenty of California horses in the State to carry on first-class racing; besides, I am most decidedly in favor of giving the California horse-owner a chance to win a few races. ‘It would be very selfish indeed on the part of the association to discontinue racing simply because the attendance is not as good or as many bookmakers on as during the more prosperous part of the meeting when the Eastern contingent was most in evidence. You can further state that there will be no reducing of the purses, but we will continue to the close of the season to give high-class racing to the public.’” The above is_indicative of the broad orinciples exercised by the new Jockey Club in all of its dealings with horsemen in general throughout its inaugural meet- ing. Its unselfish methods and liberal expenditures to benefit all classes of horse- owners cannot fail to meet with apprecia- tion, and as the representative of high- class and honest racing, not merely for pecaniary gain but for the ennoblement of this grand sport as well, the new associa- tion stands pre-eminently at the head of affairs in the West. | The entries and weights for the big Spreckels handicap, over a distance of | four miles, to be decided at Inglesi track on May 9, were issued yesterday. The prize is the richest offered by the new club, the winning horse taking $5000, with $500 to second, $300 to third and $200 to the fourth horse. Following is the list of entries with their assigned weights: Rey el Santa Anita 128, Bright Phwebus 118, Rudolph 116, Vinctor 110, Prince Karl 110, Claudius 108, Gilead 108, Cadmus 106, Pep- per 106, Caracus 106, Despot 106, Del Norte 105, Janus 103, Sir Reel 103, Uncle Jim 103, Junius 102, Lordlike 101, My Luck 100, imp.

The stewards of the California Jockey Club have reinstated Mike Bergen. Mike signed a pledge to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors for one year. The stewards also gave Earl Cockran permission to ride the horses of Edward Corrigan and Louis Ezell during the com- ing Ingleside meeting, and also annoucned that Jockey Coady’s suspension would ex- pire on April 29, Sweet William, who captured the two- year-old’ event so imposingly, is a half- brother to the good performer, Jim Lee. PACIFIC KENNEL CLUB, Dogs of Various Breeds and Pedigrees That Have Been Entered. Sporismen are reminded that the entries for the Pacific Kennel Club’s bench show will close at 11 o’clock this evening. It seems that the owners of dogs have an idea that by waiting until the last hour their entries will show up all the better. However, the entries received up to last evening speak well for the success of the show, as at the last exhibition given by the club the number of dogs entered on the day previous to the day of closing was less than now. A letter from Los Angeles states that from twenty-five to thirty entries will be received by the secretary to-day. There is no doubt that at least 100 entries will ar- rive belore the hour of closing. The greyhounds are very poorly repre- sented, and this does not speak well for San Francisco. which is a great city for coursing enthusiasts. Itis gor:ed for the interest and good will of coursing in the West that the greyhound fanciers will re- pair to the secretary’s office to-day and enter their charges. Judge Mortimer is an excellent judge of reyhounds, and it is hoped that he wi!l Ee afforded an opportunity of passing ‘jiudgment on a number of those handsome ogs. Mr. Kittle has entered some griffons, which breed of dogs will be exhibited for the first time in this country. They repre. sent the dog used ik France by the sports- men of that country. The show gives every promise of being a grand success. The following is the entry-list of dogs received up to 10 o’clock last evening: Mastiffs 8, Great Danes 8, St. Bernards 21, Newfoundlands 3, grerhounds 1, decrhounds 1, American foxhounds 8, bloodhounds 2, gohners 26, English setters 14, Gordon setters , Irish setters 14, griffons 4, Irish water spaniels 2, retricyers 2, Chesapeakes 2, collies 10, buil terriers 5, cocker spamels 17, fox ter- riers 10, black-and-tan terriers 2, Yorkshire terriers 4, “’f terriers 2, Japanese spaniels 1, pugs 8; totai, 178. 2 e Methodist Outing, The Sunday-schools of Grace, Howard, Trin- ity, Epworth and Fifteenth-avenue Methodist churches are to have an outing on Mayday at Sunset Park, Santa Cruz Mountains. The ex- cursionists will leave the ferries depot at 8:15 A sll.. and returning leave Sunset Park at 4:30 P. M. ————— Dropped Dea’l While at Work. Jacob Leppold, a dairyman 73 years of age, dropped dead while loading & milk wagon at his farm near the Four-mile House lastevening at7:30 o'clock. It is presumed that death re. sulted from natural causes. The body was re- moved to the Morgue.

The Brown and anti-Brown factions are con- centrating their forces for the battle royal which is scheauled for to-morrow mght. Dea- con Morse, as the representative of the pastor, declares that the majority of the church will vote to sustain Dr. Brown. The opponents of the reverend gentleman sre equally certain that they will muster a sufficiently large force | to make Brown’s official decapitation certain. S0 with these claims and counter claims the case rests just where it did last week. There has as yet been no meeting of the board of trustees, nor will there be until Trustee Wait- tier returns. Hermann Warszawick, the Jewish Evangelist Who Is Expected Here Next Month. the Jewish-Christian Mission on Mission street, asking for the appointment of a committee to co-operate with the mission 1n an evangelisiic campaign, which is to be opened in thts City toward the end of May. Robert Chester, the spokesman, who was accompanied by Charles Katz, said: “We | ask the help of a committee to co-operate with us, so that we mayv form a permanent committee—a sort of home mission board —to advance our work in christianizing the Jews.” Mr. Chester then read a letter ifrom the office of the Jewish-Christian in New York, stating that Hermann Warszawiak would be in San Francisco in May. “I do not know whether I pronounce his name properly—it is Polish,” said Mr. Chester, “but Warszawiak is one of our most noted evangelists an: he has heid such successful meetings in New York that lately they have had to turn hundreds away. His chief desire in making the tour of the Pacific Coast is to | set forth the cause of the people of Israel, and especially to speak of the present ex- traordinary movement of the Jews toward Christ and’ Christianity in this and other lands. ” Having heard the objects of Hermann Warszawiak’s visit the Presbyterian Min- sterial Association appointed Rev. Cum- mins Smith, Rev. G. B. Stewart and Ei- der Russell a committee to confer with the authorities of the Jewish-Christian | Mission. Hermann Warzawiak, who is editor of the New York paper known as the Jewish- Christian, has, his friends state, a most history. He was born and brought up in Poland, and it was not till he had been for some time married that Rev. Daniel Edward of Breslau induced bim to embrace Christi anity. At his baptism he made an ad- dress which is said to have profoundly stirred a number of his fellow-Jews wnho were present, and his family disowned him and he was driven from home. Some years afterward Mrs. Warszawiak followed her husband’s lead in becoming a Christian, and they both devoted them- selves to evangelistic k among their own people In America. At present Warszawiak is superintendent of the American Mission to Jews, and heis one of the people interested in the proposed erection of a great building in New York, to be known as ‘‘Christ’s Synagogue,” the lans for which are already drawn. Warszawiak, who is often alluded to as “The Little Messianic Prophet,” is said to be a very eloquent speaker. The paper of the day at the Presbyterian Ministerial Union yesterday was by Rev. Dr. Ketchum of Berkeley on ‘“‘Sabbath- keeping,” the doctor deeply deploring the fact that the Sabbath 1s not more ob- served in this State, and condemning the employers who compel their employes to work seven days a week. In the discus- sion the paper was declared to be timely and able. Committees were appointed to confer with the Jewish-Christian Mission yester- day, both by the Methodists and the Con- §regntionnl Monday Club, the former se- ecting Drs. Nelson, Case and Baker, and the latter Dr. W. D. Williams, Rev. J. Kimball and Rev. W. Tubb. . Congregational Club. Rev. John Kimball spoke to the Congre- gational Club yesterday on the subject of “Congregationalism,” and in the discus- sion there were a good many hard hits dealt inairectly at the pastor of the First Church. Mr. Kimbgll urged the need of Congregationalists leading lives that should be bright and shining examples, as the best means of increasing the strength of the denomination. “We must show our right to live and thrive by living Christian lives,”” he said. The speaker also urged the need of an advanced sem- inary and of a Congregational House, as a center for the coast. In the discussion Rev Philip Coombe uttered a mild protest against the way in which speakers at the club had fallen into the habit of berating ministers in general. Rev. F. Flawith responded: “I do notsee why we ministers should not have to sub- mit to a clubbing if we deserve it. Min- isters should be held accountable for taeir deeds as other people are.’’ Rev. Dr. Cruzan regretted the tendency of some of the churches, especially the First Church, to stand “likea great eccle- siastical sponge and drink in everyihing instead of giving out.” Deacon Strauss expressed himself very strongly on the subject of ministers being held responsible for their actions, both be- fore civil and ecclesiastical courts, and said that no shortcomings in ministers should be condoned on sentimental grounds. Rev. Chaplain Rowell, in speaking of the decline of interest in the Congrega- tional Monday Club, said it was largely due to the trouble in the First Church. Among Labor Unions. . Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Union No. 483 took in twenty-five new members lest evening. On May 1 the initiation fee will be raised to $10 in this and the other carpenters’ unions.

AN INTERESTING CONVENTION. Miss Anthony and Mrs. Cooper Pay High Tributes to the San Fran- cisco Press. The monthly social meeting of the Pa- cific Coast Women's Prefs Association, held at Golden Gate Hall yesterday after- noon, was enlivened by the presence of Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Sarah B. Coover and others interested in the ad- vancement of women. As Miss Anthony was unavoidably late in arriving, an article from her pen, en- titled *“An Argument for Woman Suf- frage,” was read by Mrs. Henry Krebs. “The strongest objection made to female suffrage,” said the essayist, '‘is, that the home is the foundation of the Nation, and the father is the head of the home; there- fore, the father should have the sole right of representing the family. Now, I think if that man had grown-up sons he would have a deal of trouble in making them be- lieve he should represent them. ““In a political crisis he would very likely be glad to have them assist in electing their favorite candidate. 1 know families myself in which the mother and daugh- ters are far better qualified to vote rightly than the father and sons. ; “Then they say that the pool of politics is too filthy for women to dabble in. This is a tacit confession that, after a century’s exclusive control of the franchise, they still are wading round in slime. Will the men ;]:rqmise us chat in another century the political poo! will be a Ponce de Leon’s spring of life? What we women wantisa chance'to help vurify the body politic.”” A pleasing recitation by Miss Alice Per- kins was heartily applauded and the young lady was recalled for another selection. A story by Mrs, Hannah Neall recounted the adventures of a young married couple in endeavoring to rear their first-born and teach h4im how to shoot. It was in- terrupted by the arrival of Miss Anthony. Everybody crowded around to congratulate her and 1t was some time before Mrs. Neall was able to proceed. After a poem, ‘“The Orchard,” by Miss Harriet N. Skidmore, Miss Anthony was called upon for a speech and for the course of an hour kept her audience laughing with her witty and sarcastic words. The most of her time was devoted to answering a charge, recently made by one of the Californian weeklies, that women writers had tended to degrade the press. She was vigorous in her denunciation, and asked that some member of the association take it upon herself to answer the charge. Miss Anthony, during the course of her speech, took oceasion to pay a high tribute to the dailies of this City. She believed they had treated the women fairly and equitably. “Of course,” she added, “they have not come out with great heads sna leading editorials, but they have given us consider- able space, and truthfully reported our meetings.” Shedid not, think, however, that women would ever have an equal chance to pre- sent their side in controversies until women become stockholders in the newspapers. “Idon’t want to be understood as ar- raigning the men in this matter,” she said, “‘but it is human nature for the con- | trolling element to run things to suit | itself. Do you suppose that if we women had a paper of our own we would let the | men put anything in it we didn’t like? | Not if we know ourselves—and I wish it { understood that we do.” In conclusion, she said she wanted the great political parties in their conventions soon to be held at Sacramento to adopt | amendment No. 11 and quit talking, Miss Anthony said the women themselves had | been talking for fifty yearsand now they proposed to act. | Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper made some an- nouncements concerning the third an- nual meeting of the Woman’s Congress of the Pacitic Coast, to be held in Native Sons’ Hall from May 4 to May 11. Mrs. Uooper said that one of the leading men j of Stanford University, speaking of the programme rf)repared for that occasion, had admitted that men couldn’t improve it. She then took up Miss Anthony’s re- marks on the San Francisco press and added another eulogy of the dai]y papers of this City. The session was brought to a conclusion by Miss Stella Ames of Oakland, who recited a selection from ope of Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s poems, and in response to an encore gave & humorous selection. REPAVE: MARKET STREET, The War Cry of the Bicyclists Painted on Defiant Ban- ners.. The San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade Resolves to Continue the Agitation. The board of directors of the Cycle Board of Trade held a ‘meeting last night in W. V. Bryan’s cyclery, at 314 Post street, for the purpose of receiving the re- vorts of committees and of taking action on other matters, the subject of lighting Golden Gate Park and repaving Market street being the most prominent. Mr. Wheeler reported that he had had a talk with Irving M. Scott on the subject of the park and that Mr. Scott had in- | formed him that the funds were too low | to permit of anything being done at pres- ent. He suggested that the Board of Trade should apply for the creation in the next tax levy of a special fund for the purpose of properly lighting the park with electricity. It would require something mere than §$12,000. Mr. Scott promised that he would do all he could to help along the proiect. but said nothing could be done until aiter the tax levy in Qc- tober. S. M. How and A. Siever were admitted to membership. Mr. Bryan showed electrotype cuts of the bicyclists' motto, ‘“Repave Market street,”” and explained that twenty-five had been ordered for the use of the mem- bers to insert in their advertisements by way of calling the attention of the pablic to the necessity for the improvement of that highway. "On his suggestion it was decided to increase the number to 100. Seyeral bunales of cards bearing the same legend were on_exhibition. 'im“y will be placed on bicycles, trucks and drays for the same Furpose. ttee on prevention of thefi The commi reported recommending that the owners of stolen bicycies report the names, num- bers and description of their machines to the Cycie Board of Trade in order that the board might be able to notify the Police { Department, the police authorities having | expressed tneir willingness to search for and recover the stolen property. On motion of Mr. Bryan, the secretar; was directed to furnish ex‘h member wit, & copy of t.he'groceodin s of the board of directors on the day following their meet- ings. John Mohrig was appointed a commit- tee of one to wait upon the advertisers of MISS ANTHONY NETTLED,| 5 bicycles and to request them to devote one square of their advertising space to the words, “Repave Market street.’” Chairman Henney of the committee on political action reported that the Super- visors had prowised to give the board a patient hearing, and he suggested that when the committee should visit the Board of Supervisors they should be accompanied by a large crowd of wheel- men. A communication was received from Justice of the Peace Kerrigan offering his assistance to the board in its efforts at securing good roads. A letter similar in tenor was received from the Southside Improvement Club; also one from the secretary of the highe way improvement committee of the League of "American Wheelmen congratulating them upon thé successful formation of the Board of Trade, and extending to it the sympathy of the league. Thomas H. B. Varney reported that the civil engineer of the Merchants’ Associa- tion had suggested a mass-meeting of wheelmen on the subject of road improve- ment, to be illustrated with views of good and bad roads by the Camera Club. He thought that the matter could be got under way in June. Messrs. Varney, Bernays and Johnson were appointed a special committee to arrange for the mass-meeting. The board then adjourned, to meet with the association on Thursday, May 7. at 7:30 p. M., at Varney’s cyclery, on Market street. e .. No man is exactly what his bride hopes be i WILLIAM DEVENY, 31 North Fourth Street, Portland, Or. ORTLAND (OR.), FEBRUARY 15.— The word genial’must have been dis- covered after men had traveled much, seen the world, looked over the various frailties of humankind and touched the philoso- pher’s stone. Take William Deveny as an example. I spent fully two hours with this genial gentleman and scarce knew the time had flown so swiftly. He told me of his travels, his hardships, the bright, the dark side, and then he interested me most when he spoke about California. By the way,’” said he, “Californiais just now com- ing in for a great deal of praise, and I must confess I am heartily glad to be able to praise California also. You see, the great Californian remedy, Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, has been introduced in Port- land lately and many of our best families are now usingit. Iused Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla myself. Ifound it pleasing to the taste and effective—yes, very effective. 1 was not in a dying condition, of course not, but I felt mean, all run down; or, to use the proper word, I felt jaded. After using one bottle of Jov’s Vegetable Sarsa- parilla I felt so much better that I ordered another bottle, and the resuit is eptir satisfactory. Ladies and gentlemen now using Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and all that T know praise it. It1sa great remedy. It works like a charm and does not gripe. It cleanses the blood and yet brings out no pimples. Certainly Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla is a very agreeable family remedy.” After leaving Mr. Deveny I talked with several well-known ladies, and they all agreed Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla was a fine remedy. As I have before remarked, one does not meet the substitute here. There are no mean people here who wish to offer something just asgood for the home remedy—Joy’'s Vegeiable Sarsapa- rilla.
