14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 13, 1396. THE ELITE AT A COCKING MAIN. Select Crowd of Sports Meet at the Foot of Tamalpais. THREE WOMEN PRESENT Contra Costa and San Francisco Counties Have an Old- Time Fight. THE FORMER THE WINNER. How the Veteran Con Mooney Was Fed on Game Cocks by a Blundering Caterer. The cockfighter will not down. The same thrill a Spaniard has in seeing the matador thrust his swerd into the heart of an infuriated bull is his when the game- cock again and again punches the gaff into the neck of a chicken. If the latter, cut up and feeble from exertion and loss of blood, fights on till death the thrill is more intense, according to toe amount of savageness displayed by the victorand the endurance of the vanquished. The cockfighter argues that the sport is not so cruel as dogfighting, driving borse- races, coursing or prizefighting, and he does not propose to be done out of his pet pastime by the arbitrary regulations of cities or townships. The undisputable proof of all this was given yesterday in tke shade of old Mount Tamalpais, where one of the biggest and most aristocratic mains of this year was successfully held. it was a big main in the respect that Contra Costa and San Francisco counties, the two best gamecock producers, were pitted. Thirty birds on either side, trained and ready to battle, were shippea over to Sausalito Saturday night. This was done in the old-time conventional way, each cock being inclosed in a gunnysack tied at the neck. In days gone by, a man with a gunnysack the contents of which wriggled, chuckled and crowed, attracted but little attention. It was different, however, on Saturday evening’s ferry-boat. The un- usual occurrence attracted much attention, and the residents of Sausalito were on the lookout all of yesterday for the treat they expected was in store for them. The aristocratic end of the main was in its selection. This was an exclusive affair, more so than in those days when a five-dollar note was collected from each sport as he gained entrance to the pit. A few of the veterans in such affairs were present. They were not many, for most of them have passed away or are not now in fit physical condition to take long jour- neys such as are necessitated while chas- ing away from constables, sheriffs and the like meddlesome gentry. The new element which figured yesterday at the pitside consisted mainly of clerks in high positions, both civil and official; Judges of police and Superior Courts, a city {ather or so and three ladies who have often graced the salons of upper tendom. Barring an expression or two of “Oh, my dear,” “Poor thing, is it much hurt?” when one bird jabbed out another’s eye with its steel spur, these ladies had a splendid outing. They laughed at the ludicrous appearance of the cocks, shorn of their extra plumage. just as a prize fighter’s hair is cut close to the scalp prior to entering the ring. They wagered gloves, candy and even money on which would prove the victor in the engagement that must almost necessarily end in the death of one or both roosters. 1t is generally accepted that pleasure most difficult to acquire is that which is best appreciated. Apparently from their vesterday’s outing, these ladies were enti- tled to all the fun they enjoyed. It was hoped that the main could be brought off in Sausalito. Why not? Pool- rooms that are prohibited from running in every town and hamlet ofithe State run there in full blast and with oven doors, where even boys and young giris may be- come educated to gambling. But the City Trustees of Sausalito drew the line at cock-tighting. Constable Gar- rity, wide awake as usual, set his foot down on the sport and declared that the order irom tne City Trustees must be obeyed. George Ginn, ex-Mayor of Sau- salito, was sworn in as a deputy constable, and he too assisted in enforcing the law. Even old Judge Belhue, the only magis- trate in the burg, and who is likewise sole proprietor of the buses at the ferry, re- iused to carry passengers who calmiy de- 'fi‘“’.".d"‘ to be taken as fares to the cock- bt %.

Ask for Fred Brown's, FEED BEOWN €0, PHILADELPHIA, paper man, who presides over the Na- tional Athletic Club of this City, where Corbett and Sharkey recently had their go- as-vou-please fight, refused absolutely to lend his presence to encouraging the hold- ing of chicken fights in the place he has chosen for his summer home. These things delayed the affair many hours. Instead of taking place in a com- fortable barn within a half hour’s run to the ferry, it was conducted twelve miles away. To get there proved a big hitch, owing to Judge Belhue’s refusal to lend his buses. An hour or so was consumed procuring other conveyances, into which the sports and the gamecocks were stowed. That was a merry ride in the hot sun and dust, the roosters signifying their presence by crowing all along the road, and especially when passing the barnyards of wayside ranches. The first fight for $20 a side opened the festivities at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The birds, a five-pound-two-ounce red Spanish representing Frisco, and a slightly heavier white bird doing the same for Contra Costa. The usual shearing and beeling took up some time, during which the people present became guite well ac- quainted. - “Ivs too bad old Con Mooney isn’t here,” remarked 2 man who is au fait in such matters to a coterie of listeners. Mooney is one of the best known spori- ing men in the State. He is slightly rheumatic now and is not so well able to get around as he used to. “Did you ever hear about that chicken dinner Mooney and a few of us had in San Jose?” another fellow asked. “Well, we had gone down there to have a main at the old racetrack. This was about ten or twelve years ago, when Con- tra Costa and Frisco were fighting Santa Clara. * “Mooney had a couple of ‘larlee-coolers,’ each ina sack, and expected to make a good killing against the Mexicans down there,who would bet as long as they had a dollar to back their opinion. “‘Arriving at San Jose some three hours ahead of time and feeling hungry, we all went over across the way from the station. We had a drink or two and Mooney handed his two gunnysacks to the Italian caterer, telling him to take them down- stairs, their crowiung attracting too much attention. ““A few more drinks and an order for dinner was given. ‘Give us the best you've got, plenty of it and quick.’ “The Italian kept the crowd waiting longer than it seemed necessary, and the hungry gang began clamoring for food. “Presently the hearts of those present were gladdened when the tables were set and laden with a lovely-smelling chicken stew and some heavy blue wine. Tne chicken, to be sure, was a little tough, but that made no great difference to good te eth and hungry stomachs. “The hour for our departure arrived, andwith that important air that comes with the satisfaction of having been kind to one’s self, Mooney shouted : * ‘Here you are, Mr. Macaroni, fetch me those sacks of mine.’ “ ‘Verree well, Mista Moon,” answered the caterer, and he soon reappeared with the two empty gunnysacks. ““Where are my chickens?’ Mooney in thundering tones. “‘You eta da chick, Mr. Moon!' ex- claimed the Italian, in astonishment that his guest had so soon forgotten his sump- tuous lunch.” This story being told and a general laugh baving put all bands in good hu- . mor, the red and white birds were breasted and the first fight of the main was in pro- gress. The ’Frisco representative proved a clever “‘wheeler,” striking and seeking shelter under the white bird’s wing just as Corbett and Sharkey avoided punishment by clinching after each blow. The en- gagement was greatly prolonged in conse- quence, and exhaustion, rather than loss of blood, brought it to a conclusion. The white was gaffed early in the fight, and he subsequently showed it was not to his liking. *‘He's 2 quitter!” shouted one of his backers; *‘he’ll jump the pit, sure.” The words were hardly spoken when Contra Costa’s representative turned tail and flew out, the red cock pursuing him. In such cases the backer or handler of the pursuer counts forty in rapid succes- sion. This is called the finish count and the birds were separated and breasted once more in the center of the pit. A couple of passes were made and the white cock again turned tail. Again counting was done. The rule prescribes that only ten need b2 counted the second time, when again the fowls must be breasted. Should the counts of ten occur five times in succession the bird refusing to fight must be declared a loser. ‘When the white bird flew the pit the second time his handler agreed with the man who haa so appropriately called him a *‘quitter.” He knew there was no use trying to make him fight, so he withdrew him, giving Frisco the battle, Frisco scored another win with a four- pound eight-ounce white stag against a red four-pound six-ounce cock. A stag is a bird not yet fifteen months old. Above that age the bird is a cock. It wasa well- fought and stubborn battle, the youngster making a blinker of his foe in the second pass by gouging out his right eye with the steel gaff. After that the older bird rap- idly got the worst of the fight, but gamely fought on until he died 1n the pit. Frisco’s first reverse was in the third fight, for $25 a side and several hundreds of dollars between individuals. The affair was as unfortunate as it was briefl. At the first pass Frisco broke his right leg, and was withdrawn. Some of the bystanders would have had the battle continue, even going so far as to suggest: “Let him kill him.” Others prevailed, however, and Contra Costa got the purse. The latter's bira was untouched and willing to accom- modate another bird, which Frisco soon furnished. Again Contra Costa proved victorious, killing a bird two ounces heav- ier than itself. Another broken leg settled Frisco’s fate in the fifth engagement. The cocks had been at it with honors principally in asked Frisco’s favor. There was $25 a side up and odds of $10 to$8 were being given against Contra Costa. In some unaccount- able manner Frisco's right gaff lodged in its left leg, and when the steel was with- drawn the unfortunate bird’s shoulder was tound to be broxen. He fought on gamety, but his only serviceable leg he needed to rest on and could, therefore, be only on the defensive. He was withdrawn in time not to meet his coup de grace. Other batties, lasting far into the night, terminated with Contra Costa winning eight out of fifteen fights, Preached to Drummers. Rev. Edward Park Jenks, co-pastor with Rey.

Her Production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” Brought Eman- cipation. AMELIORATION HER AIM Inspiration From on High Prompted a Great Mind to Beneficial Action. The colored people of San Francisco as- sembled in the A. M. E. Zion Church on Stockton street yesterday afternoon for the purpose of holding commemoration of the mighty Lincoln signed the de- cree of emancipation which with one stroke freed 4,000,000 of human beings from bondage.” 5 The Rey. H. J. Callis, minister of Zion Church, followed with one of his most able and eloquent addresses, first touchicg upon the equality of the sexes and then on the dividing line which had separated the two races before. Mrs. Stowe opened not only the eyes of the American people, but the eyes of the whole civilized world. He followed with a masterly panegyric of the noble qualities of this great woman, whose memory would never die but would remain a household word as long as 8 colored man or woman lived. He feelingly portrayed the auction- block in Baltimore, where the Alabama ruffians used to come with a pocket full of gold and often examine the muscles of the chattels there offered for sale, separ- ate son from father and mother and sister from brother. But tnis condition of shameless affairs is passed forever, thanks to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Morton, president of the Afro- American League, is in receipt of a letter from the Searchlight publisbed at Los Angeles asking the question if Afro- Americans should support McKinley and incidentally seeking an opinion on the money question. The letter in question reads as follows: Los ANGELES, Cal., July 3, 1896. T. B. Morton, President Afro-American League, San Francisco—DEAR SIR? Do you think the Afro-Americans ought to support McKinley and the Republican party this fall?

Zion Church on Stockton Street During the Impressive Services in Commemo- ration of the Late Harriet Beecher Stowe, Authoress of “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” {Skewcned by a “Call” staff artist.] services in honor of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the authoress of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” The little weather-beaten church in which the memorable Starr King held its first service and at which in his early days some of the then most prominent families attended di- vine worship was filled during the ser- vices yesterday. They were there to pay respect if not veneration to the woman who through her work, the world-wide read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,”did so much to bring the colored race out of slavery. How well this noble woman succeeded history and to-day’s conditions are the best witnesses. This great work for a suffering and down- trodden race is so fully sppreciated by the people who have been benefited by it t an output of gratitude from joyous hearts is the response over the broad land where- ever a colored man or woman may be found. That Harriet Beecher Stowe felt in her heart for the amelioration of the colored slave there could be no doubt, and that this race to-day feels deeply indebted to her memory is equally true and sincere. The services were opened yesterday aft- ernoon by T. B. Morton, a gifted speaker and a leading light among his people. Every seat in the church was filled with men, women and children. The latter, in their handsome summer dresses of various hues and up-to-date head gear, presented :nlgul 28 also a pleasant picture to be- old. Mr. Morton, in calling the meeting to order, said: Friends, ladies and gentlemen: We haveas- sembled this afternoon todo honor to the great liie and work and to contribute our highest mark of respect to.the memory of one whose true position in history wiil stand in the front rank of the noblest Christian men and women that have ever lived. For no one person, in no single work or argu- ment, has spoken so effectively to as many dif- ferent people in so many different languages and tongues in defense of the oppressed as did Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. Mrs. Stowe was born at Litchfield, Conn., on June 14, 1812, and departed this lifeon July 1, 1896, in the eighty-fifin year of her age. These exercises a our people, appropriate snd commendable in nd we take this method of show- ing ou~ appreciation of her whose memory we have assembled here to commemorate and to pass down the lesson of gratitude and honor o our children for future generations, Scripture reading by the Rev. E. T. Cott- man was attentively listened to, after which the Rey. J. J. Sitton, a white man and minister of Cumberland Presbyterian Church, offered prayer to the Almighty for his blessings uoon his colored brethren in this their hour of joy and sorrow—joy for the blessings of freedom and sorrow {or:ge loss of a noble woman whom they loved. A. A. Colling, president of the meeting, followed in a panegyric on the life an labors of Ms. Harriet er Stowe and finished by exhorting his hearers to live good lives and by so doing convince the world that the emancipation of 4,000,000 hutaan beings was not & mistake on the part of those who offered up their lives as a sacrifice. He continued: “The foresight given Mrs. Stowe was nothing short of an inspiration from Al- mighty God, and to her, unaer God, must Erut if not all credit be given for the free- pi:m enjoyed to-day by the colored peo- e. ‘It was owing to ber work and directed by the same unseen power that the hand Amerfcans to stand upon?

Yours respectfully, J. L. Epyoxos, Editor. In reply to this, President Morton, who isa power among his own people, writes as follows: July 8, 1896. J. L. Edmonds, Esq., Editor Searchiight, Los Angeles, Cal. —MY DEAR BJR: Yoursof recent date, propounding three important ques- tions on the ition the Afro- Ameri- cans should take in the great political contest this year, received and contents noted. You will find my views iully expressed as to the last Sunday’s issue. As to our supporting Major McKinley, the Republican nominee for President, I have just this to say. Major McKinley i$ the ideal stalesman of America, the stanch friend of the negro. He is among the few great men of this age 1o whom credit can be given that dur- ing his long public life he has stood squarely and firmly by the principles of the great Re- publi party. The priociples of the party, I will say lnnkl;, are broad enough for any man, woman or child to stand upon. The oniy question that should concern us is simply this one: Have we men atthe head of the party Who have the force of character to stand man- :lx:lly ‘by these great principles and uphold em Atthe National Convention at Minneapolis, while making the opening speech as chair- man, Major McKinley, after referring to pro- tection and reciprocity, said: “We are to de- clare ourselves upon other questious here to- day. We are to declare ourselves on the Question _of a free ballot and a fair count. No platform should have been made by a Republican convention that did not reiterate that great constitutional guaranty. No Republican speech should ever be made that dia not insist firmly, and reso- Lutely insist,that that great constitutional guar- anty shall be & living birthright, not the cold formality of constitutional enactment, but a living thing, which the poorest and humblest may coufidently enjoy, and which the rich and the most powerful aare not deny.” The above utterances are grand, noble and sublime, spoken at a time when he was not seeking or ex;ecl.lug vows, but standing firmly as «the acklowledged leader of & great party, shaping its future and building its platform. Our in- terest is safe in his hands, and not only ours, ¢Kinley is elected prosperity will be seen in all parts of our fair land. o . Now as to the money question I have only this to sa; If McKinley acd the Republiean party grant 1,000,000 fl&fflfl of this country, in every and ‘all parts of 1, a fair and unmo- lested Toad to the ballot-box,and have our ballots counted in common with other Amer- ican citizens, we are completely satisfied with any kind of money they may give us, Human lLiberty, trial by jury and the right to earn a dollar are the most important questions that are 10 be considered by us. Give us these and all other rights will follow. At the coming congress, which is to convene in your city August 11, we will deal with these questions, T trust, in such & way that the poli- ticiaus and honest citizens of this State may see aud aporeciate our position, I would say in conclusion, McKinley, with his force of character, the knowledge we have had of him while leader of the House in the reat contests on Federal election law, the lair educational bill and other important qucllionx{ easily proclaim him as not only the most available man, but the man above all others that should bave our unanimous vort. I look forward with great pleasure to the meeting in Los Angeles. the most impor- tant gathering we have had in the State. 1f1 have answered your question I am grate- ful, and if T have not you wiil not only know Iy position on those questions, but when we meet in Los Angeles you will hear from the 10,000 Afro-American voters of this State through their representatives in the congress l Yours, very sincerely, T. B. MORTON, President League. Republican party in THE CALL of, this City in | cide in favor of the old law providing for registering voters in every precinct of the City. When the Election Commissioners meet to-day to review the names sub- mitted for officers of precinct registration the Republican County Committee will have presented a long list ‘of judges for various precincts, This alertness on the part of the com- mittee is, however, a mere precautionary measure, for it is believed by officers of the committee that there will be no registra- tion this year in the precincts. “My advice,” said Charles W. Man- waring, chairman of the county committee last night, ‘Yis to register at once. There 18 a possibility of no precinct registration this time, and besides the Registrar has so much work before him there is danger that if people leave registering to the last few days they cannot possibly get their names placed on the register. This is a serious matter now. “Every vote counts and nobody should neglect this duty, but should at once go to the City Hall and register. The Republi- can County Committee has preached this from tne first. The Democrats held out last time for precinct registration and I believe the Iroquois Clubisdoing the same | thing now. Every voter in San Francisco shonld register ri ht now and not leave it to the last moment. If he is not careful he may not be able to vote at all.” Registrar Hinton says he believes that unless voters stand in line immediately and register at his office fu!ly 20,000 citi- zens may be debarred from voting at the election through the very inability of his office to take the names of all applicants in the rush of the closing days. Regis- tration closes August 3 in the central office and August 8 in the precincts— if precinct registration he held. During the fifty-one days ended Friday a total of 14,263 names were recorded. uring the corresponding period in 1894 16,172 were enrolled. During the day and the three hours of night registration yesterday 1753 voters were registered, the largest number sched- uled during any day since ‘the central office opened. The next highest number was recorded on Friday, when 1045 names were listed. It is estimated that more than 75,000 votes should be cast this year in the Presidential election. Only twenty- three days remain during which names may be registered at the Citv Hall. Registrar Hinton estimates that there will e over 60,000 voters to be listed and that with his present working force it will be utterly impossible to register them all. The best day’s record for one man, work- ing eight bours, has been 100 names. There are sixteen clerks employed in_the booth proper, and therefore to register 1600 names a day will be to strike about the limit. The ¥om can be increased to eighteen men, but this will not suffice. Tga highest record for one day in San Francisco at the central bureau is 2506 voters, buv this being the last day of central registration in 1894, it was continued until late at night and without interruption during meal hours. To nz.all the names between now and August 3, 1t has been estimated, would re- quire the enroilment of more than 2000 names a day, which is not practicable under the present conditions. This fact has given rise to a movement to keep open the central office for registration night and day, with a double force of clerks on duty the time. 7 _ An act amending the registration law in NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

Oniginally this law especially exempted San Francisco from its provisions, and San Francisco was then governed by the special registration act passed for the con- solidated City and County; but the fram- ers of the new general law eliminated the | clause excepting San Francisco from .its; provisions, and this, as competent anthor- ities declare, brings the City under the provisions of the general law. This gen- eral law says that all registration shall cease ninety days before the general elec- tion. The special law governing San Francisco says that all registration shall | cease fifteen days before the election. | The Iroquois Club has taken the question | before the Supreme Court on mandamus | proceedings. -~ So everything now rests | with the court, from which ‘a decision is | expected daily.

On the evening mentioned the doctor, who has recertly graduated from the ) Medical Department of the University of California, had returned bome from an extended trip through the south, and instead of being greeted by the mem- | bers of the household, as he anticipated, about forty young friends had assembled | in the large and spacious parlors to join in the hearty welcome.
