THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1896. RACING BEGING AT SACRAMENTO, Palita, the Daughter of Palo Alto, Loses the Occi- dent Stake. BEATEN BY SWEET ROSE The Fleet Filly Found to Be Suffering From Heart Rupture. BILLY G TAKES THE PACE. The 2:40 Trotting Purse Easily An- nexed by Twilight in Straight « Heats. BACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 1.—The opexning day of the State Fair racing meet was attended by a very light crowd, and about all the five bookmakers in the bet- ting ring did was whittle and tell funny stories to one another. However, opening days at the fairs never were noticeable for attracting big crowds, and everybody, pre- dicts success as the meeting ages. The track management is perfect, and Super- intendent Joe Terry is entitled to great credit for the splendia condition of the park. In she judges’ stand were 5. W. Wilson, * @. F. de Long and W. P. Masthews, with A. B. Stemler, Harry Agnew and F. P. Lowell holding the “clocks” in the timers’ stand. 'W. P. McNair started the trotters and pacers, and his splendid work with the harness brigade was one of ihe feac Sures of the day’s sport. ©assasa’s big band of musicians, whe @te great favorites in the Capitol City, an- Jivened the racing by popular Gelections @nd fully maintained its high geputation. The racing went off withons hited o¢ Peeak. The winaing ho?ses Were: Sweet ose in the Occi dent stake for three-year- @lds; with a gross value of $1995; Billy G in the 2:25 pace, and Twilight ecarried off the laurels in the 2:40trot. The defeat of Palita, crack daughter of the dead warrior Palo Alto, was the sensa- tion of the day. The filly, which_was en- tered by the Pglo Alto stock farm, gained a record of 2:16 as a two-year-old, and the big breeding establishment’s superintend- ent, Frank Covey, confidently expected to trotdown near 2:10 to-day, which opin- ion was shared by Drivers Dustin and Phippen. A prohibitive favorite in the pools, selling for $20 with the other two starters, Don Roberto and Sweet Rose, bringing but $7, she took the first two heats from Don Roberto in 2:253—2:2617. She captured the second heat with [it- tle to spare and the following heat could do no better than finish third. In each of these heats the ribbons had been held by Jo'n Phippen, but in the fourth heat James Dustin sat in the bike, her apparent distressed condition being inexplicable to Manager Covey. In the fourth heat she sgain finished third in slow time, and in the succeeding heat was eased up over a furlong fror the wire and ogged in. The filly was then allowed to e drawn by the judges, and upon exami- nation by two vVeterinary sur:eons the daughter of Palo Alto was pronounced to be suffering from a rupture of the envelope of the heart, and it was simply miracu- lous that she did not fall dead on the track. It is an ill wind, though, that blows no- body good. The last three heats were taken off the reel in 2:30, 2:28%; and 2:3414 by Sweet Rose, owned and driven by the veteran driver, ‘“Tom’’ Smith. Smith is not overburdened with this world’s goods, and the victory ot his fillv was a very pop- ular one, the gray-haired horseman bei: the recipient of quite an ovation. Walter Maben made a bold bid for the rich stake with Don Roberto, but the Sidney colt’s recent iliness prevented him from making a very strong argument. Driver Tommy Keating continued his l-conquering career with Billy G in the :25 pace. A field of seven ‘“‘side-wind- ers”’ lined up, with the Keating & Win- ship representative bringing $10, Nellie B $9 and the field $3. In the first heat Keat- ing took the pole from Palatine with the favorite after passing the half, and, never pressed, won the heat with ease in 2:16. Dictatus was second and Beachwood third. ‘The first choice experienced no difficulty in taking the nexttwo teats and race in 2:16% and Nellie B was not on her best behavior, breaking quite often, to her bachers’ disgnst. The win of Twilight in the 2:40 trot was another popular one, There were eizht stariers, with the field selling favorite at $10, Twilight going for $6 and the field $4. Dennis Gannon held the reins over his mare and placed the race to his credit in straight heats, the time for each heat be- ing 2:204. In the first heat Goldy was the contending horse, and in the following two the sturdy little Peter Jackson gave the winnera bard rub. ‘The Occident trottinz races for fi H three in five: value 81995, RESPOYs heata Bweet Rose, ch. £., by Mambrino Chief- Dalsy S (Smith) . 3 Don Roberto, blk. ¢., by Sidnev (Maben)2 Palita, ch. 1., by Paio Alto (Phippen and. al Paclng, 2: Billy G, ch. g Dictatus. ch. b., by Beachwood, br m.

Blas sec- Samw Francisco Oarsmen Training to Capture Prizes, STOCKTON, ©AL., Sept. 1..~Chairman @Geunsky of the Admission day vegaita comimities to-day geceived & latisz from ¥H. Pembroke of San Francisco, in which Pembroke assured Grunsky that great interest was being taken in the re- gatta, and that the South End crew had lengthened its stroke and was pulling in better form than ever. The Pioneers, according to him, have decided to row the race of their lives and even up old sore with the South Ends. The Ariel crew is in training, and Pem- broke advises the Giants of Stockton to train faithfully if they expect to put the nose of their barge across the line first in the senior barge event. In the senior outrigger skiffs event there broke says it will be the last race he will ever row in. William Coe of the Uni- versity of California will be one of the partici}mnu in the junior race for outrig- ger skiifs. There has been some difficulty between the committee here and_that in San Fran- cisco over the placing in the programme of tne senior barge race. The committee here want it to be the last event on the programme, as otherwise it will draw largely from the bicycle races at Goodwater Grove. The committee in San Francisco placed it third on the list of events, but it is be- lieved that it will accede to the request of the committee here when it learns to what extent this arrangement would interfere with the receipts at the bicycle meet. S g S Vancouver Oarsmen in Front. VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 1. — The Vancouver Rowing Club’s crew won the four-oared junior race here to-day against tne Portlands "and Victorias.

She was a widow, and had 1o means of making him behave himself. He spent his time reading dime novers; and when arrested, three lurid publica- tions, a revolver and package of cigarettes were found in his pockets. Judge Campbell said he was sorry he could not send Willie to tne Reform School on a charge of vagrancy, and Mrs. Smith remembered that Willie, while she was correcting him with a piece of wood in the ard, seized a hatchet and tried to strike Zar with it. The Judge advised her to swear to a complaint charging Willie with assault with a demliweapon. and then he would send him to the school. The com- plaint was sworn to, and Willie was booked on the charge. Civil Service Examination.

BIDS FOR THE ROOF. New Tenders Opened by the Board of New City Hall Commissioners Yesterdnay. The Board of New City Hall Commis- sioners opened bids yesterday for the con- struction of the City Hall roof under the moditied plans prepared by the architect. The original bids were altogether too bigh for the means at the command of the commission, and were rejecred. They ran from $224,000 down to $173,000. Under the modified plans it was expected the bids would range from $30,000 to $50.000 lower, and this belief was justified by the result, the highest bid being $178,000and the low- est, that of John J. O'Brien, about $129,- 0. The bids will be acted on at the next regular meeting. e SUED FCR MAINTENANCE. EBenjamin F. Hudelson Asked to Sup- port a Woman He Is Said to Have Deserted. Benjamin F. Hudelson has been sued for maintenance by Miltie Hudelson. The complaint alleges that the parties were married in. Modesto, Stanislaus County, in 1885, and that the husband de- serted the plaintiff in 1886 and has since lived apart from her and failed to provide for her. It is further alleged that the defendant is in receipt of an income of over $250 per month, wherefore is asked $125 per month for the permanent support and mainten- ance of the plaintiff, and $500 for counsel fers. Reel B. Terry, who is counsel for the laint:ff, says that his client was the Eeemr of & notorious resort at the time she married the defendant and went under the name of Cora Webster. He savs that the marriage was one made by verbal agreement and consummated by a resi- dence of eight months, during which the couple lived as man and wife upon a chicken ranch at Big Oak Flat, forty-five miles from Modesto. ASK RECOGNITION. H. I. Kowalsky and Charles Forbes Appear Before the Election Com- mission us Republicans. H, I. Kowalsky and Charles Forbes ap- peared at the meeting of the Election Jommissioners yesterday and asked recog- nition as the representatives of the “Regular Republican County Committee,” and James McCabe and John T. Carroll did likewise as the representatives of the joint committee in the Fourth and Fifth Congressional districts, but the commis- sion was not ready to pass on the claims of these gentlemen, and the matter went over until this morning, when they will be heard more fully. The commission decided that in future those who refuse to answer citations to appear and te'l about their registration shall be stricken off the roil without fur- ther delay. ————— Moving of Station D. Station D at the foct of Market strect was formally opened yesterday, though no actual business was transacted. It is probable that three weeks will elapse before regular work 1s begun, though in the mean time employes will thorough!y familiarize themseives with the new condition of affairs. The main office wiil continue at the oid stand, though the principal clerical work will be transferred to the new station. This includes, ot course, only mailable matter and such money order and registry business as has heretofore gone to that point. Held for Murder, Arthur Jackson the young men who shot Augnst Florentine, saloon-keeper, Twenty- third and Reilroad avenues, was yesterday held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Joachimsen on the charge of murder, without bail. The preliminary examination was concluded last week and the Judge re- served his decision as to whether he would hold Jackson for manslaughter or murder till g: lz:.d an opportunity of perusing the evi- n B Will Not Prosecute Him. John A.Jilek, the tailor, who fired five shots at Mrs. Ella Ferguson in Mrs. Goldberg’s house, 602 Gough street, Monday night, ap- peared before Judge Joachimsen yesterday morning. He was instructed and arraigned and the case continued till Saturday. Mrs. Ferguson will refuse to prosecute him, and the chances are that he will get his liberty. Sne told Detectives Seymour and W hittaxer that it was none of their business why he fired the shotsat her and refused positively to talk to to them. NEW TO-DAY.
