THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1896. 3 WILLOWS' RACE MEETING OPENS, A Large Crowd Sees Three Equine Battles for Supremacy. ALIAS AN EASY WINNER Captures the Two-Forty Class Trot Without Great Effort. ESTELLE WILKES BEATEN. Bernard Outfoots the Mare in the Pace—Howard Dumps the Talent. WILLOWS, Carn, Aug. 1L — With weather that made the stout man wish he were born a skeleton and the balance of the inhabitants of this beautiful valley look like spectral figures in their white suitings the Glenn County Agricultural Association’s annual race meet opened with an eclat and gusto that will make the other asrociations on the circuit hustle to keep pace with it. The visitors from the bay counties walked around with parched throats and faces dripping with perspira- tion early in the day, but as the day progressed a cooling southerly breeze sprung up that was as welcome as the rural visitor’s silver to the sure-thing gentry, who, by the way, have gathered here in full force. Secretary Freeman has toiled arduously to make the meet successful, and if the opening day is auy criterion his labors will surely be crowned with success. The local band marched to the track at 1:30 o’clock, and a half hour later when Starting Judge McNair marshaled the drivers of horses in the first event before the stand for their instruction the grand stand was well filled with ladies and their escorts and the betting ring with specula- tors. Business with the auction pool- sellers was lively, and a Paris Mutual box accommodated the smaller betters. *Jack” Dinue had the drivers garbed in satin jackets and the fields presented very retty sights. W. W. Marshall, F. W. Loeber and W. P. McNair judged the trotting and pacing events, while F. E. Mulbolland and D. L. Hackett placed the gallopersiin the run- ning dash. The card was made up of the 40 trot, 2:25 pace and a six furlong run- ning dash. While nothing sensational characterized the sport, it was good and clean, which augurs well for the success of the meeting. Alias, Bernard and Sea Spray were the winners of their respective races. Starter McNair met with his usual success in dispatching the fields. The 2:40 trot was first called, with ten lining up for tbe word. Alias, the Napa and Petaluma winner, was installed favor- ite, selling a 10 to 8 choice over the field. It was practically a cake walk for her, al- though she did drop the second heat to Millie M, through going into the air at the half. 8he took the necessary two heats to annex the purse after this s she pleased. Driver Gaines handled her in masterly fashion. ‘Wow, a green mare driven by the crack reinsman, Ed. Lafferty, made a good showing in ail four heats, taking third money for La Siesta ranch. The 2:25 pace, with a field of seven starters, gave opportunity for more care- ful study. Mack Sanders’ black mare Estelle Wilkes sold favorite in the pools, bringing $10 against the field, comprising Bernard, Lizzie E, Nick o’ Time, Sind- wood, Palatine and Gladys W. In the opening neat Gladys W, which drew the pole, broke, and was passed at the turn by Palatine. The latter mare went to a break down the backstretch, and the favorite taking the lead finished out the heat two lengths before Sindwood in 2:173{. Mu- tuals paid $4 55. There was little change in the betting before the next heat, and it looked as though the mare woald make it two straight, but in a baitle through the stretch with Bernard, driven by Whitney, the latter gelding reached the wire first by three lengths in 2:18%. Two-dollar mu- tuals paid $3 80. At the first turn in the third heat Ber- nard broke, and Sanders taking the pole with the favorite won the heat by a fine exhibition of driving, half a length ahead of Bernard, who came very fast at the end. Gladys W appeared in no condition to race and was distanced in this heat. The next heat resulted in another duel between Bernard and the black mare, the gelding showing superior speed by getting bome mearly two lengths befére the Wilkes mare. It was quite evident that Bernard had the footing over the mare and be, now ruling favorite, took the de- ciding heat and race in 2:22. Lizzie E beat Estelle out in this heat for the place. Nine sprinters started in the six-furlong running dash, with Howard a hot favorite. When the flag fell SBea Spray and Rose Clark raced away in front to the far turn, where the latter fell back and the place was taken by the favorite. Spooner, on Bea Spray, outrode Ames to the wire and got the verdict for Sea Spray by s half length in 1:14}4. The winner sold for $3 in pools of $24. Trotting, 2:40 class. three in five, purse $500.

Members of the Canine Aristocracy to Be Placed on Exhibition. STOCKTON, CAL., Aue. 11.—It has been decided definitely that there will be a dog show here the last week in September and the first three days in October. The en- tries promise to be numerous. One of the features of the show will be the rat pits, at which some of the best terriers in the State will officiate. It has been represented to the authorities that there will be no undue cruelty to the rats, and so no objection was made to the per- formance. There is a chance also that there will be some very interesting cock- fights. An amusing feature of the exhibition will be battles between fox terriers. The dogs will be muzzled, so that they cannot hurt one another. Even when muzzled the little fellows have been known to go at one another like prize-fighters. Otis Fellows, who was judge at Los Angeles and Qakland, has been chosen as judge for this show. gt Al S I ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 1L—Bright and early this morning the local and visit- ting cyclists were astir, and there were several thousands in line when, at 6 o’clock, the signal was given from head- quarters for the start on the century run over the original century course to Frank- fort and return. For those who preferred to sleep late and take their breakfasts at leisure a second programme had been pre- pared, covering runs to New Albany, Jef- fersonville, the Falls of the Ohio and Shippingport, a distance of twenty-five miles. The start was made at 8 o’clock, and there was a large numberof partici- pants. At 10 o’clock the annual meeting of the Kertucky division was called to order at Iroquois Park by Chief Consul John W. Clendening. Ths afternoon the visitors took in the stock farms and other points of interest about the city, and to- night were entertained at a smoker at headquarters. Yaced by a triplet to-day Arthur Gard- ner went a practice mile in 1:46, the fast- est mile that has been done in training this year, Otto Zeigler went a mile un- paced in 2:001:5, equaling the Denver time of Sanger and Clark, about which the racing board had so much trouble early in the year. There were over 200 entries in the races, and interest is cen- tered in the coming performances of Tom Cooper, Eddie Bald and other crack riders who are here. Cooper, particularly, is at- tracting a great deal of attention, and many say he is bound to break some rec- ords this week. Tl Sharkey and Sullivan to Box. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 1.—A morn- ing paper says: Tom Sharkey is to box four rounds with the former champion, Jonn L. Sullivan, at the Madison-square Garden on August 31. This has been set- tled. It will be a friendly bout in all that the word implies. ‘‘Parson’ Davies engi- neered this affair. He is to be congratu- lated for his good judgment. Sharkey would not box Peter Maher. He, too, may be congratulated, so the experts think, for his wisdom. —_—— Chess Tournament Prize Winners.

The Nominee’s Wife the Re- cipient of Many Courte- ous Attentions. A CRUSH AT PHILADELPHIA. Both of the Nebraskan's Hands Greatly Swollen by Too Much Shaking. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 1L.—William J. Bryan arrived in this city to-night. He reached Jersey City over the Pennsylva- nia Railroad at 8:10 o’clock and was driven to the residence of Wilham P. St. John, 121 East Thirty-fourth street, where he and Mrs. Bryan passed the night. Although Mr. Bryan had expressly re- quested that there should be no public demonstration, no bands or marching clubs, he was received by a large and en- thusiastic crowd both at Jersey City and on the New York side. Long before the hour at which the train was scheduled to arrive the Pennsylvania station was crowded with persons anxious to catch a glimpse of the apostle of free silver. Sixty police, under the command of Inspector Lange and Captain Farrier, took charge of the crowd and were kept busy preventing them from crowding against the gates. As it was, many of them climbed on the gates and cheered for Bryvan, Tae coming of the Democratic candidate was eagerly awaited by a reception com- mittee consisting of Senator Jones of Arkansas, Treasurer St. John, J. T. Tom- linson, National Committeeman from Alabama, and Arthur Sewall, candidate for Vice-President. At 8:10 the headlight of the engine of Mr. Bryan’s train was sighted and amid cries of ““Here he comes,” “Look out for Bryan,” the train bearing the Nebraskans rolled into the station. Contrary to gen- eral expectation, the Bryan party wasin the first car and not in the rear one, which was a drawing-room car. As soon as the train had come to a full stop, Mr. Bryan, Mrs. Bryan, Mr. and Mrs. Richard P. Bland. Mr. and Mrs. James Kerr of Clear- iield, Pa., John A. Creighton, member the notification committee, J. A. Malone, J. T. Snyder of Clearfield, Pa., John D. War- man, John Garmon, H. V. Dively ana Clarence J. Gallagher, a personal friend of Mr. Bryan, alighted. M. Sewall and the other members of the reception committee rushed forward and in turn shook hands with Mr. and Mrs, Bryan. The entire party stepped into a freight elevator at the east end of track 4, on which track the train entered the station and were at once lowered to the ground floor. While the Bryan party were standing on the freight elevator plat- form, the crowd cheered and shouted itself hoarse and many climbed up to the very top of the high railing separating the station platform from the tracks. The crowd expected to see Mr. Bryan and his party pass through the gates and through the station, but in this it was dis- appointed and a howl of dismay went up as the elevator was lowered and Bryan and his party disappeared as though by mugic. It did not take long for the crowd to discover what had happened and a rush was,made for the floor below. The crowds from upstairs, pouring down upon the large crowd that haff congregated on the ground floor created something like a riot, and the Jersey City police, who had already lost control of the assemblage, be- came demoralized and rushed first one way and_then another with drawn clubs, As'the Bryan party stepped from the ele- vator they were so completely hemmed in by the shouting crowd that they could not move in_any direction. While they were warting for the police to cometo their res- cue the hundreds of excited men pushed, shoved and shouted for Bryan and cried “gpeech! speech!” . E(nflly a pathway was made through the crowd and at 8:25 Mr. Bryan and nis friends_boarded the ferryboat Hudson City. During the passage over the river Mr. Bryan was cheered, but aside from bowing and saying “Thank you, my friends,” did not speak. Before the ferry- boat had reached the New York side the large crowd on the dock, taking up the cheers of those on the Mudson City, shouted and cheered for Bryan. The police management on that side was as nearly perfect as could be expected. A line was opened throngh the crowd and Mr. Bryan, accompanied by Mr. Bland, Senator Jones and Mr. Sewall, passed through the shouting throng of persons to carriages which were in waiting and were driven to Mr. 8t. John’s house, where they arrived at 9:25 and were again met by an immense crowd, which cheered and shouted until Mr. Bryan and his party disappeared behind the closed doors. The scenes along the route from Pitts- burg to Jersey City were merely a repeti- tion of those of yesterday in Ohio and Indiana. Crowds, cheers, speeches and handshaking were the order of the dav, Nearly 1000 people were waiting for Mr. Bryan at Johnstown. The train stopped short of the station, and there'was a mad rush of the crowd down the tracks to the rear car. Ex-Con- gressman Kerr presented Mr. Bryan and Mr. Bland, both of whom were roundly cheered. Neither spoke, but Mr. Bryan shook hands with a large number of per- sons. At Cresson 300 residents greeted the irain and cheered the nominee, with whom many shook hands. Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas, who is also en route to New York, was discovered in a forward car of the train, and Mr. Bryan invited him to his coach just beiore Cresson was'reacued. Altoona_gave Mr. Bryan a rousing 1e- ception. When the train came to a stand- still in the statton there, hundreds of peo- ple were lined up along the tracks. Many others were crowding balconies and win- dows of neighboring houses, while boxcars and other points of vantage were lined with workmen from the railroad shops. The rear platform of the train was not in an advantageous position to enable most of those composing the throng to get near Mr. Bryan, and of all the vast ussemblage not more than 500 could crowd into the narrow space between the train and the guard wall to places directly in front of where the nominee stood. The Bryan and Sewail Club, bearing badees inscribed ““16to 1,” led the enthusiasm. The appearance of Mr. Bryan on the plat- form brought out a mighty cheer. There was a struggle to get near him, and much confusion resulted. There were yells of “Bryan’’ and “speech.” Standing beside Mr. Bryan was Mr. Bland, and the latter started to address the audience. He told them that the demonstration was a repe- tition of what nad been going on in Ohio |and the West, and said that it meant victory for the Democracy in November. The crowd cheered Bland, but it did not wait to hear him speak, and cries of “Bryan’’ drowned his words. Then ex-Congressman Kerr managed to make some remarks about the people of Pennsylvania being with the people ot the nominee’s native and adopted States, Iilinois and Nebraska, in their unanimity for Bryar. This was interrupted witn more cries for the candidate, but Mr. Bryan shook his hvad, and placing nis hand to his throat called out in a husky voice, “I can't, boys; I can’t.”” Then a rush toward the car was made and Mr. and Mrs. Bryan went through the hand- shaking ordeal until the train moved out at 11:05. Several hundred people were in the au- dience that greeted Mr. Bryan at I'yron. They gave him two or three good cheers. Mr. Bland made a little speech, and Mr. Bryan again gripped some Pennsylvania hands. E When Huntingdon was reached, at noon, Mr. Bland talked to the crowa, numbering a couple of hundred, while Mr., and Mrs. Bryan shook hands with those composing it. Both Bland and Bryan were cheered. Lewiston Junction turned out a small crowd and the story was repeated. T1here were some counter-cheers for McKinley. Mrs. Bryan was in great demand at Lewis- ton and attracted nearly as much atten- tion as her husband. One hundred and fifty people at New- rt cheered Bland, but forgot to cheer ryan, so intent were they in shaking bands with him. An excited, overheated, enthusiastic mass of people swarmed beneath the broad roof of thie big Pennsylvania station building at Harrisburg. They crowded the platform, bung two deep on railings and ran along with the train as it slowed up preparatory to stopping. Among the members of the Bryan party estimates of the size of the Harrisburg congregation were varied, Some placed it as high as 5000. Chairman_Hubbell of the Harrisburg Bimetallic League presented Mr. Bryan. Cheers followed the announcement and a great cry of “speech” went up. But Mr. Bryan pointed to his throat and shook his head. Just in the midst of the fast and urions handshaking in é)rogress and just as Mr. Bland had started a speech the car was shifted again. Cheering, shouting and pushing with might and main, the people around the car sought to regain their advantageous position. Hundreds of them were struggling on the track be- tween the car in which Mr. Bryan was in ana the rest of the train. As they saw the coach bearing down upon them almosta anic ensued in the endeavor to get out of arm's way. Men seemed to leap over the heads of others and some went down. But nobody was injured, and the big assem- blage, or rather the male part of it, made another dash toward the tall, smooth- faced man, who looks ten years older than he did when he left Cliicago Sunday night, Mr. Bryan stood on the steps of a car and reached out both hands to be grasped by hundreds of extended fists. ‘While Bryan shook hands at the rate of sixty a minute with each hand, Mr, Bland tried to talk about the great issues of the campaign, but his voice was lost in the shouts of those around the car. At last the train moved away and Mr. Bryan, with a relieved look, went back to his drawing-room. X Barring the shifting process, the Bryan reception at Lancaster was quite as wildly interesting. The station was crowded with people to the number of 1200. Mr. Bryan stood on the rear platform of his car, which had been returned to its orig- 1nal position at the end of the train. The crowd shouted and there was a constant struggle to get near the nomince. Mr. Bland’s speech was again lost. The only ple who did not appear anxious to m in the grand rush for the Nebraska man’s swollen hands were the women standing at the other end of the platform and the members of the brass band which bad been engaged to play patriotic airs and was fulfilling its contract without in- termission, The yelling of the audience. which while constant had not been united, con- centrated itself into one last Lurrahas the train moved away. No turther stop was made until Philadelphia was reached. At Pniladelphia there was a crowd of 5000 pushing, perspiring people, gathered behind the iron gates, barring the en- trance to the trains in the Pennsylvania Railroad station. A noticeable feature of the crowd was its make-up. It was essen- tially a crowd of plain people, the work- ingman, the mechanic and the laborer. The pressure became so strong that men and women caught in-the crush were in danger of being trampled under foot, and the railroad officials to relieve the pressure threw open the gates and let the people through upon the platform. With a wild rush the crowd poured through, and reck- less of constantly shifting cars risked life and limb upon the tracks. The Democratic city committee, headed by Chairman John Curley, was in waiting t0 welcome Mr. Bryan on his arrival, but as the train pulled into the station at 6:50 the crowd with a cheer made a wild rush and the committee was swamped in the human tide and swept away. efore the train stopped the crowd was surging up to the side of the last car and those in the front swung upon the steps at the risk of their lives, Cheer after cheer went up as Mr. Bryan appeared on the back platform and the crush was terrific to get near him. Mrs. Bryan stood beside her husband and bowed and smiled as some enthusiast in the crowd held up to her a bouquet of roses. Mr. Bryan leaned over the rail of the platform and shook all the out- stretched hands in reach. There were cries for a speech to which the tired nominee could only respond by a shake of his head. In the meantime the city committee had succeeded in forcing its way into the car, and none too soon, as after a stop of rine minutes the train pulled out for New York amid the cheers of the surrounding mob. Chairman Curley then greeted Mr. Bryan, and wished him success, and ex- pressed regret that his stay in Philadel- phia was so brief, as otherwise the com- mittee would have arranged for a fitting reception. Mr. Bryan responded briefly and sank wearil; o & seat. Mrs. Bryan was presented with a beautiful bunch of roses, the gift of the superintendent of the sub-postoffices of Philadelphia. The train stopped only two minutes at Trenton, but in this time Mr. Bryan shook hands with all in waiting. Elizabeth turned outseveral people,'who cheered lustily during the half minute the train stopped there. When Newark was reached a turbulent mob rushed toward the train, cheering like mad. A thousand or more pressed intothe enclosure between the train and the guardrail. Those be- hind pushea and shcved until those in front nroke into a run out of sheer self- protection and on a rapid, disorderly trot, men and boys ten deep, went past the platform where Mr. Bryan was standing, making vain endeavors in the quick prog- ress to grasp his hand. The cheering of those in this unchecked human stream and of the great crowds in quieter positions was continuous. Mr. Bryan kept both hands working constantly. Skyrockets and Roman candles were fired and red lights burned, and altogether the scene was one of the wilaest excitement and en- thusiasm. —_—— DEMOCRATIC NEGRO CONVENTION Now Being Held in Chicago to Indorse Bryan. CHICAGO, IrL., Aug. 11.—The biennial convention of the Negro National Demo- cratic League began to-day, representa- tives of eleven States being present ana more expected to-morrow. C. H. J. Taylor, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, sent his resigna- tion as president of the league, when he received a letter from A. E. Manning of Indianapolis, chairman of the executive committee, intimating that the league would declare for Bryan and free coinage. Recorder Taylor, an appointee of President Cleveland, had written to Manning hop- ing the league would stand by that “noble Koman, Grover Cleveland.” Mr. Man- ning was chosen temporary chairman and H. Clark of Illinois temporary secretary. Among the prominent delegates present are: J. Milton Turner, ex-Mi nister to Liberia; C. A. Rideout of Seattle, Charles F. Olmstead, West Virginia; Charles C. Curtis, Washington. After the temporary organization and aunouncement of commitless the conven- tion adjourned until to-morrow to give the committees time to prepare their re- ports. Contests from Arkansas and Illi- nois were amicably settled. The committee on permanent organiza- tion met at the Keystone Hotel to-night and at a late hour were still in session, with thé prospect of sitting after mid- night. Mr. Manning will be recommend- ed for president of the league, in recogni- tion of his services in original organiza- tion. The important part of the resolu- tions will be a reiteraticn of the Chicago platform, and an urgent appeal to the colored race, irrespective of party affilia- tion, to vote and work for the free coinage of silver. President Cleveland will not be mentioned, Of the forty-seven delegates who attended the first day’s session only one, C. C. Curtis of Iowa, is a gold-stan- dard Cleveland man, and he has a Federal appointmentat Washington as messenger. RS S T SENATOR SHOUP SANGUINE. He Believes Republican Success Is As- sured in Idaho. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—Sena tor Shoup of Idaho was at Republican headquarters yesterday and talked very encouragingly of the outlook in the West especially in his own State. Senator Shoup is a silver Republican, but believed in fighting the question out in his own party. He said he believed silver would be a greater gamner through the Republican party than through any other, and his hope for an international financial confer- ence is not in vain, He is confident that Idaho ean be carried for McKinley, and could not understand how the silyerites had secured their information as to the result of the recent contest there, which indicated that silver Democrats bhad swept the State. The returns, he said, were not all in on Satur- day, and it is a little premature to forecast what the result will be. The Senator re- turns to Idaho this evening,and will enter actively into the campaign, making as goud a fight as he knows how for the Re- publican ticket. i Encouraging news from Missouri and Kansas was received by the Republican Congressional Committee yesterday. A large number of letters reached Washing- tou yesterday morning announcing that in some parts of Missouri there was a split in the Populist ranks, and as a result of this condition Republicans have not been so enthusiastic since early in the seventies. In some parts of Kansas it is supposed that the silver-question *‘fever’ is beginniug to wane, as the result of the reading of Re- publican literature with which the State has been flooded. S Fusion Prospeots in Ohio. COLUMBUS, Ox1o0, Aug. 11.—The Demo- cratic State Central Committee to-day elected Daniel McConville of Steubenville, who was Sixth Auditorof the Treasury un- der Cleveland’s first administration, chair- man of the State executive committee. He was also empowered to select his colleagues on the committee.

LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 1L.—For the twelve hours ending at 6 p. M. there was an average reduction of four degreesin the temperature. The highest point reached to-day was 96 degrees at5Pp. M. Occasional breezes did much to abate the suffering. In consequence the death roll to-day was reduced to seven and the prostrations to thirty-one.
