ool o *lsiasmanicr THE SAN FZANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1896. OUTSIDERS WON PURSES| Four Out of Six of the Favorites Beaten at the Track Yes- terday. CHARTREUSE II IN GREAT FORM Coady on Thornhill Tcok a Most Op- portune Nap and Jack Richelieu Beat Him Out. The warm weather worked no material change for the better in the performances of the first choices in the betting at the track. On the contrary the outsiders, who have more tham been holding their own of late, appear to have been benefited to a still greater degree by the rise of the mercury. The joints of four out of five of the favorites were as stiff as ever. Specu- lation for the first day of the week was ripe; the crowd, which was of very fair proportions, grew warm, hot and ‘‘sore” at different stages, and after accounts had been rounded up at the close of the day, the bookie was just a little winner. The seven-furlong handicap called out the best field of the day. Chartreuse IT was backed down from 2)4 to an 11 to 5 choice, and, in front most of the way, won galloping by three lengths in 1:27. A strong tip was out on Thelma, causing her odds to tumble from 5 to 3, and although finishing in the place was never able to press the winner. Articus, who seems to be regaining his old form, scored again in the opening race, a six furlong selling affair with a field of ten starting. Allowed to reach the false Frioe of 12 to 1, he was played down at the ast moment to 6. Off in front he led for a way, when he fell back in the bunch, but came through in the stretch and 'won | bhandily at the wire, a length before Elmer | F, who with Coda and Mollie R was one of | the short ones in the betting. | After having the second event, a mile selling dash, won, Thornhill was nipped | out by the 20 to 1shot Jack Richelieu. The bald-faced colt, who went to the posta | slight fayorite over Long Lady, drew away | from the latter mare when squared away | for home, and to all appearances had the | race well in hand. When opposite the | finddock Coady grew careless, and Jack | ichelieu, coming with a rush, beat him out a short nose in a driving finish. Her- manita finished a good third. Bookmaker Humphrey’s mare Hearts- ease had a slight call in the betting on the next race at five and a half furlongs, but ran unplaced. Morven, the 314 to 1 sec- ond choice, shook off his field in the stretch and won very easily, with Ricardo in the place, three parts of a length before Mount Roy. The handsome mare Marjorie opened an even-money chance for the five and a half | furlong dash that followed the handicap, but a report being circulated that she was lame sent her odds back to 234 to 1. There was then a stiff play on her, and at post | tume 7 to 5 was the best obtainable. She | passea Durango, who cut out the running to the stretch, and at the finish won easily by four lengths. Rey Alta came strong at the end, taking the place from O'Fleeta by a head. | The old strawberry sprinter, Tim | Murphy, the 4 to 5 favorite for the final six-furlong sprint, was unfortunate 1n | getting away from the post poorly, to sional. The prize list is valuable and all the fast local men will compete, The San Jose Road Club has disbanded after a life of four years. It has heen quite unfortunate in the giving of race meets, theatricals, etc., and lost heavily on all such ventures. Of the club's cmci ndofs Ziegler has joined the Garden Citys, McFarland the Olympics, and the other: will probably join the home ctub. “The Olympic Club Wheelmen will hold a meeting this evening. The Cycle Board of Trade committee on good roads will be present and address the meeting. . The Liberty Cycling Club will probably Join with the Californias shortly, making the latter a very strong organization, CRONIN’S BABY GIRL. She Dies While Her Father Is in Prison on a Charge of Disturbing the Peace. A pathetic incident occurred at the City Prison on Sunday afternoon. James Cro- nin, a hardworking teamster living at 936 Harrison street, was arrested late Satur- day night by Policemen O'Keefe and Lynch for disturbing the peace, He was taken to the Southern station, and being unable to procure bail was locked up for the night. Yesterday morning he was re- moved with other prisoners to the City Prison. Yesterday afternoon a friend called at the prison to see him and conveyed the sad news that his baby girl had died durin, the night and his wife was prostrated. Cronin broke down and begged his friend to get him out of prison. is friend hur- ried to Judge Conlan’s residence and told the Judge the facts. He immediately drove down to the prison and released Cro- nin on his own recognizance. Cronin had only left the prison a few minutes when a pretty little tot made her appearance and askea if her papa was there. She said his name was James Cro- nin and her baby sister had died and she wanted to see her papa. When told that he had gone home she toddled away as fast as her littie legs could carry her. Ada Rehan Appears as Helena in “ A Midsummer Night's Dream.” “Metamora,” After Many Years—New Bill at Orpheum—Columbia and Tivoli the Same. In spite of the heat there was almost a full house at the Baldwin last night to see the Daly Company produce “A Midsum- mer Night’s Dream.” It was when peo- ple were once packed away in the theater that they realized how very hot it was, and though the thermometer was not quite high enough to kill enjoyment the state of the weather had no doubt a good deal to do with the languid nature of the applause. The Shakespearean fairy comedy was given a graceful interpretation, pretty to the eye and not unpleasing to the ear, but it cannot be said that the work showed the Daly Company at its strongest. There was too little of Ada Rehan and too much of the fairies, sprites, etc., who flitted about xraoefu]ly n a dim, religi i which, however, was not hide the fact that not one of them was able to dance, and an ideal impersonation of *“A Midsummer Night's Dream’ de- mands good dancing. The woodland scene was a very charm- ing bit of stage painting, the colored lights were skillfully manipulated, the dresses of the fairies were beautiful and it was a clever inspiration to furnish them with tiny electric sparks, suggestive of fireflies, but all these attractions would not quite beguile one into forgetting that the mor- tals acted a good deal better than tne fairies, that Miss Maud Winter's Titania “THE CALL” RACING CHART.

Movem ents of Profe: Rond Club Disbande. There has been considerable speculation as to what California riders woula follow the National circuit, and not until yester- day was it generally known who they would be. Ziegler is now in the East, and C. 8. Wells and W. A. Terrill of the Bay City Wheelmen, F. A. McFarland of San Jose, C. R. Coulter, Olympic Club Wheel- men, together with Winsett, Parker, Schefski, the Eastern riders, W. J. Stack- pole, their trainer, and F. Ed Spooner, correspondent, went south last night to Los Angeles, and after riding there on May 30 the men will go directly East. H, E. McCrea, whose home is in Los Angeles, went with them, but_will return shortly. W. W. Hatton and W. J. Evans, R. E. Dow and 0. L. Pickard will go to San Jose to iry for some paced records. Wilbur J. Edwards of San Jose will undoubtedly fol- low the National circuit, but does not in- tend to go for two or three weeks, as he is out of condition. It is hardly likely that he will race here in the meantime, how- ever. Foster, Jones, John E. Edwards. Harry Terrill, Oscar Osen_and some other fast local professionals will remain on the coast, and as there will be constant addi- tions to the class from the fastest of the amateurs, the absence of the others will scarcely be noticed. Oscar Osen suffered a severe fall at Bouther Farm, near S8an Leandro, Sunday, in some races which were got up for the fun of the thing by a party of Olympics, Garden Citys and Bay Citys, who were picnicking there on a joint run. It will be a week or more before he will be about again. Entries for the Alpha (ladies’) Cveling Club race meet at Central Park next Sat- urday will close at the park to-day.

Rehan looked very handsome in her Greek dress, and made her long speeches charmingly. James Lewis fairly reveled in the role of the actor-weaver, who, like a good many other amateurs, wants to take all the parts in the play. The other Athenian players were well impersonated by Edwin Stevens, Herbert Gresham, Sidney Herbert, Wil- liam Sampson and RobertShepherd. Miss May Young was good as Puck and the rest of the cast was satisfactory. At the Orpheum, The Orphenm has a drawing card this week in Papinta, who is described as NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

The most phenomenal shopping crowds ever gathered under one roof in Cali- fornia. Tens of thousands of purchasing visitors attended the first day’s selling at the Emporium. An enormous force of clerks, but unable to properly handle the business. More clerks to-morrow in the crowded departments. “'queen of the myriad dance.” A myriad is a little stretch of the imagination, but Papinta dances before mirrors arranged in such a way that she is multiplied ad in- finitum. From the center of the house she gives the effect of a full corps de ballet, while from the sides vistas of Papintas are seen to extend into the distance in a way that reminds one of the mirror maze on the ola Midway. Papinta’s methods are & good deal those of Loie Fuller. She dances with her hands even more than with her heels, for much of her art consists in the skillful manipulation of draperies, and she is ac- companied by a corps of electricians who exhaust their skill in making her look successively like a rainbow, a butterfly and a mass of living flame. In the first dance Papinta wears a black dress and bonnet and pirouetes about in a rainbow more gorgeous than any of nature’s own making. In her fire dance she seems to be enveloped in a mass of flame, and imaginative beholders al- most believed that her draperies are really on fire. The last evolution of Papinta is into a swirling mass of draperies hat look like butterflies’ wings, and when the one lone litile woman finally appesrs, bowing before the curtain, *‘clad in robes of virgin white,” it requiresa stretch of theimagina- tion to believe that it was she alone who a moment before was doing the whole ballet act enveloped in all the colors of the rainbow. Of the other new performers McAvoy and May endeared themselves exceedingly to the gallery by their zeal and noise. | They shouted and stamped until they al- most melted and when they aanced made ise than & box factory. Extreme n finally compelled them to cease giving encores. Lizzie B. Raymond is a good-looking voung serio-comic who is billed as America’s popular vocalist, etc., though her speech betrays her as coming irom the banks of the Thames. She has not very much voice but knows her business and won encore after encore. The house was quite touched by her sing- ing of “My Mother Was a Lady.” Gelden, Chalfont and Golden, singers, comedians, whistlers and yodlers proved to be clever and entertaining and some of the most populsr of last week’s performers are hela over. Altogether the bill is an exceptionally good one. The Grand Opera-House. Not since Forrest produced it here twenty- three years ago was “Metamora” played in this City until it was again staged last night at the Grand Opera-house, with Edmund Collier in the role of the great Wampanoag chief. Col- lier, by the way, wears the same buckskin suit that Forrest wore for the chieftain’s part. He bought it from Forrest when he secured the right to the play itself, and with the historical suit he obteined a weapon yet more historical, the original scalping-knife of “Black Hawk,” the Seminole chief, who presented the trophy to Forrest. The play, like our own California “Ramon: makes the aboriginal & novler stamp of man and one more apt than we are wont to believe the noble red man is in appearing as a romantic character. Yet Collier takes the part well and gives it life and interest witi- | Qut degenerating into the tragically awful, Miss Lisle Leigh as Oceana, the daughter of Mordaunt, assumes her role with & graceful semblance to what might have been among | the Indians before the. pale-faced brother | spoiled their poetic ways, The other characters whose acting is deserv- ing of mention are Julia Biane as Nahwaskee, the wife of Metamora, and Fred J. Butler, E. J. Holden and Eugené Moore, three English settlers, between whom and the Indians war and peace form the incients of the plot. The costumes are new eand effective, as is also the { scenery and the properties. The play is on for | this week, At the Columbia. During the pleasant nights with their temp- tation to car rides before and after the theater | and their accompaniment of a desire for some- | thing light, something trival, but withal a lit- tle amusing, there is nothing on the boards | just at present more appropriate for such a | Tecling than “Miss Harum Scarum,” now in | its second week at_the Columbia. There have been better plays of its kind, but when a not too critical audience wishes to be entertained without being subjected to a mazy plot this plece may cater to that desire At the Tivoli. As long as “Robinson Crusoe” and “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” are read just so long will the human interest that attaches to these stories continue deservedly to be & feature of common amusement. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” began its second week last night at the Tivoli and even though the cast is in no respects exceptional a tairly good audience was present to witness what has proved to be the most long-lived play vet founded on strictly American incidents.
