4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1896. ROYAL RACING AT THE STATE FAIR | Vinctor and Libertine Fight | Their Battles Over | Again, TEE CALIFORNIAN WINS. An 0dds-On Favorite Badly Rid. den by Little Jockey Frawley. DISCIPLINE FOR THE RIDER. Eimwood Stock Farm and El Pri. mero Stable Horses Capture Two Races Each. SACRAMENTO, Can., Sept. 10.—This forenoon at the track was taken up by the stock parade and the country visitors were greatly interested in the magnificent spec- imens of thoroughbred horses and cattle that were walked around the ring. The second parade wili take place on Saturday, at which time the premiums will be awarded. In the afternoon a big crowd was in at- tendance to witness the running events. The Vinctor stake, asually one of the star attractions of the meet, resulted ina walk- over for the great Californian, Vinctor, who merely received the entrance money his stable put up. In the race following, a mile special, he again made the mighty Libertine bow to him, nosing the Easterner out in 1:41, over a track not lightning fast. | Joe Narvaez, the rider of Vinctor, was en- | thusiastically cheered for his great saddie work. El Primero stable’s Caliente, a son of El | Rio Rey, took the Ladies' stake, from a | field of nine, in a romp, starting a 2to 1| choice. The brown coit Ruinart, carrying | Bookmaker George Rose’s colors, proved himself a smashing good three-year-old | by picking up 112 pounds and defeating Grady, Installator and Arnette at a mile and seventy yards, finishing like a real good one. Fleur de Lis and Nebuchadnezzar also picked up purses for their respective own- ers, Many visitors arrived from San Francisco and Stockton this morning, and the ring enjoyed about the busiest day of the meet. Entered to be sold for $600 and pitted against an ordinary lot of two-year-old | platers, the opening five-furlong scramble | looked a pick-up for Fleur de Lis. The | books laid 7 to 10 against her, and, shak- ing Dolore off in the stretch, she won comparatively easily at the end in 1:0134. ‘? Dolore, who ran an exceedingly good race, beat Alazan, a 30 to 1 shot, four lengths | for the place. A seven and a half furlong run brought | out a field of seven, with John Hum- phreys’ mare Chartreuse I opening a pro- nounced 1 to 2 favorite. The ‘‘dope” players considered her a “pipe.” Nebuch- adnezzar's great run in the Farewell | handicap decided over the Bay District | track some months ago, when he was beaten but a head in 2:07 for the mile and a quarter, was evidently quite forgotten, for he went begning at 4 to 1. McClain, who had the mount on the latter, sent him to the front as the barrier was lifted, and, leading throughout, he won very handily, a length and a half before Sea- side, in 1:84}¢. The favorite received a sort of tepid ride at the hands of little Frawley, for which the lad was set down for the meeting. Ten faced Starter Havey for the Ladies’ stake, worth $690 to the winning three- year-old. The erratic Peixotto opened a 9 to 5 choice, but when the coin began pour- ing in on Caliente, forcing his price down from fours to 2 to 1, he receded to 12to5. | Heartsease, Lucille and Miss Pollard re- ceived the most support of the other start- ers. Hazlett on Peixotto managed to get the bad actor away fairly well, and at once hustled bim to the front. He did not ap- pear to have his customary turn of speed, for as the stretch was reached Lucille and Caliente were at his side. The latter be- gan pulling away below the paddock, finally winning easily by two lengths in 1:14%, Miss Pollard made & good run through the stretch, taking the place by a length from Lucille. After Vinctor had galloped around the track for the Vinctor stake the betting be- gan on the mile special, with Lobengula 112, Vinctor 118, Libertine 116 and Wheel of Fortune 108 as starters. Vinctor wasa hot favorite in the betting, going to the post 4 to 5. Lobengula at 16 to 5 was well supported, and Libertine’s friends eagerly gobbled up the 4}¢ to 1 offered against the big bay. *‘The Wheel” was steady at fours throughout the betting. When the quartet was dispatched, following bhis usual custom, Macklin on Libertine set sail for the lead, but Narvaez on the favor- ite did not intend to lose him, and soon had his mount at the crack miler’s heels. Vinctor began forging to the front as the distance to the wire shortened, and at the furiong pole had the footing on Liber- tine. Then it seemed as though Narvaez grew just a trifle over-confident, for Mack- lin, next the rail, suddenly shot Libertine up to equal terms with Vinctor, and from the entrance to the saddling paddock a desperate drive took place, Vinctor get- ting past the mark first by a nose. Loben- gula put in a bold bid less than a furlong from home, but McGlone used poor judg- ment when he endeavored to squeeze in between the two leaders and was shut off, finally finishing a good third. Another quartet started in the Native Sons’ handicap, over a mile and seventy yards. Ruinart opened an'even money chance, the books later lengthening this outto7to 5 from force of the coin that | went in on Instaliation, cutting his odds from twosto 8 to 5. Grady and Arnette also came in for quite extensive backing at more juicy prices. To the far turn the order was Arnette, tirady, Ruinart and the second choice. Soon efter, Freeman, on Ruinart, apparently satisfied that he had the two leaders beaten, took his mount back and let Installator have.third position. Below the furlong pole he let out a wrap on Ruinart, and the brown colt, taking command of things, won galloping from Grady, in 1:46}, with Installator third. The latter horse should run better next time out. SUMMARIES. Five furlongs; selllng; fof two-year-olds; purse 350. i Brimero stabie's br. 2. Flour do Lis, 107, 1 1mp.

That enterprising town held out good induce- ments to the horsemen, and success is al- ready prophesied for the meet. Alameda County Convention. ALAMEDA, Carn, Sept. 10. — Active preparations are béing made for the enter- tainment of the coming Republican County Convention, which will be held in this city on Monday, September 21, begin- ning at 10 o’clock. A meeting ot those interested was held to-night and the matter informally talked over. Ii the present plans are carried out Linderman’s Opera-house will be used s the place of meeting. 1t is large, com- modious and has plenty of rooms in which the various committees can meet. In this it has an advantage cver Armory Hally wl.hich makes it a much more preferable place. C. J. Fletter, member of the County Central Committee from this district, is in charge of the arrangements, and expects to have everything in the best of shape for the visitors. It is expected that the work of the convention can be easily ac- complished by 4 o’clock, and then the delegates can be taken over to inspect the new city building and the electric iight plant, iwo things of which every Ala- medan is proud.

A COURSE OF LECTURES. Professor Powers to Handle the Subject of Practical Politics. ACTIVI1Y AMONG ATHLETES, Many New Candidates for Football Honors—Musical Clubs Are Reorganizing. BTANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAv., SBept. 10.—The registration of the university now numbers 908—a very creditable gain over last year at the same date. Dr. Elliott, the registrar, says that a registration of 1100 for the year will be about the mark in his opinion. Until the estate yields a greater revenue, permitting the erection of new structures and increasing laboratory and classroom facilities, this 1s the capacity of the university, and the num- ber of Stanford students will be limited until that time. The course offered by Professor Powers in practical politics seems to be a most popular one. Fully 300 students are plan- ning to take it. Professor Powers in out- lining the course says that he will devote most of the time to an examination of the phases of the present campaign as they arise, and a discussion of the causes lead- ing up to the financial problem. Several of the campaign orators will deliver ad- dresses to the students of the class, and altogether the course is to be made as in- teresting and up to date as possible. All the student organizations are rap- idly getting into runningorder. Lastyear the musical organizations of the university bad a most successful season, though finauncially the long trips were a failure, This year there is promise of greater com- petition for places than ever before in the Mandolin Club, Glee Club, Banjo Club and orchestra, The Mandolin Club is the first to get under way, with W. Brittle Wells as director., Mr. Wells says that there are over twenty candidates this year for the club where there were but ten last year, and some of the new applicants are musi ciansof merit. Director Wells is planning to have his aggregation make weekly trips to neigh- boring towns—Santa Cruz, Salinas, Mon- terey and San Jose being in the list—and during the Christmas holidays the club may make a trip to Portland and the Northwest, from which section some very flattering offers have been made. The orchestra is planning to reorganize, and talk of organizing a big Btanford band is rife. Altogether the prospects are bright for musical clubs. Captain Fickert had his men out on the | fleld for an hour this evening, after which he led them for a mile over the country on arun. Many new players were out, and there is certainly no reason why the fresh- men should not send out a first-rate team against their Berkeley opponents. The freshmen intercollegiate game will un- doubtedly take place, so Football Mana- ger Brown says, but the date is {et uncer- tain. Following is a complete list of the new men up to date and something con- cerning them: Madden, who played such a fine end on the Olympic team last year, will try for ‘that position here this season. He weighs 180 pounds. He is a speedy runner and sure tackler. Buntin, a new candidate for guard or center, is a 200-pounder, who played those positions on the Orchard eke team, which last year met and made a fine showing against the Michigan University boys and the Chicago University eleven. Freeman, the Stanford tennis champion and a second-year man, is out for football bonors this year. He is acandidate for fullback and is a good punter. His weight is 170 pounds. W. H. Boper ’88 is another candidate for fullback, and at present the finest punter on the gridiron. " Soper made the position of subfuil on the Varsity two years ago, and Campbell had great faith in his abil- ity to kick, but was less sure of his tackling. He weighs 170 pounds. Lanegan, last year’s fullback in the Denver High School eleven, is trying for that place here. His weight is 165 pounds. Diggler is still another candidate for full, but may go toend or half. He is a strongly built fellow and played a good fullback last year for the Palo Alto High Bchool. His weight is 160 pounds. Hall 1900, of Placer County, has aspira- tions; and will try for fullback or tackle. His weight is 167 pounds, and in practice he punts and drop-kicks very well. Ballentine of Portiand University played s\urd last year for his college against the utte team, and made a very favorable showing, though his weight is but 160 pounds. He is trying for end here. Bal- ientine holds a record of 10 feet as a pole- vaulter. Rusk is another big man from the north. weighs 165 fionndl, and is said to Dllzl ne tackle. e will try for that place here. Murphy of Willamette University played quarterback last vear for his uni- versity and made a record for himself. He weighs 150 pounds. Murphy is a hardler, bicyclist and baseball piayer of much promise. Daly of S8an Jose played with the Stock- ton Athletic Clubteam and will try for end here. His weight is 165 pounds. Nourse of Santa Ana weighs 145 pounds and is said to have phyzs an excellent ?unmr in bis home team. He will try or quarter here. hite, a 150-pound man, will try for end. His previous experience was with the Tacoma High School team. Sollie Wilbur '99, the shot-putter, is a candidate for center or guard. His weight ® The toterels il e interclass games will occur on the 19th, 23d and zezh‘(nstn. 1 SANTA ROS4 BSUIT. 4 Case Recalling the Murder of Blind Nancy Meagher. SANTA ROSA, CAL., Sept. 10.—A com- plaint was filed in the Superior Court here to-day that brings to mind the murder of blind Nancy Mesgher and the prominent part taken in the tragedy by the Bryan family. The plaintiff in the action com- menced to-day is W. J. Bryan, and the de- fendants are Elizabeth J. Bryan, his mother, J. L. Winans, Nancy J. Craneand Sheriff Allen. The property in dispute ad- joins the scene of the celebrated maurder and the plaintiff and his mother were the defendants in the trial. Plaintiff alleges that his mother became greatly indebted to Winans, who worked upon her fears and 1 prejudices to cause her to file fraudulent I evidencas of indebtedness against the es- tate of his deceased father while acting as administratrix; that by reason of thisal- leged indebtedness the estate of 100 acres was sold, Winans becoming the purchaser; that Winans morteaged the property to M. D. Goshen and that Goshen wasa party to the fraud, ana that Goshen assigned the mortgage to Nancy J. Crane, who fore- closed the mortgage. Plaintiff alleges that the estate was pro- bated in 1883 and the power of the admin- istratrix then ceased, g?n that the sale to ‘Winans was not effected until 1891. Plain- tiff asks the Court to set aside the decree of sale and to restrain Nancy J. Crane and Sheriff Allen from further proceedings in the line of foreclosure or sale under the mortgage., e ARDELL'S TRIAL AT VISALIA. Five Jurors Accepted and Sworn—General Kittrell Is Confident of Securing an Acquittal. VISALIA, Oav, Sept. 10.—Last evening the general Impression was tl Charles Ardell, charged with train-robbing, would be allowed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of “‘assault with a deadly weapon,”’ but on the arrival of General J. R. Kit- trell, Ardell's attorney, any and all such proceedings were knocked out by the old general declaring that he was here to de- fend his client, pot to compromise. Many stories are afloat in refereace to the confession of 8i Lovren. Captain Mer- ritt admits that Lovren made a statement, but is not willing to aivulge its nature, and is displeased that there was a leak. Eighty-nine out of 100 talesmen reported this morning. A great many of the main witnesses for the defense have notarrived, and rumor has it that they will not, owing to the arrest of Frank Lavenport. The courtroom was not crowded to-day, as in the Lovren case, and very little interest was taken. The defendant wears a confident look and has great faith in E. 0. Miller, who has been added as associate counsel to his cause. Five jurors were accepted and sworn in to-day, viz.: C. M. Coe, farmer, Tulare; John Ewing, stockraiser, Big Oak Flat; J. R. Blankenship, stockraiser, Tule River; J. D. Vannery, farmer, Traver, and F.

SANTA BARBARA, Oan., Sept. 10.— One of the narrowest escapes from death that ever characterized a Santa Barbara runaway occurred to-day, when E. W. Hadley, a wealthy gentleman who is erecting a handsome residence on Arling- ton Heights, lost control of his horse, which dashed into the curb on the corner of Banta Barbara and Ajpapamu streets, breaking a heavy electric-light post in twain with such force as to shatter the glass globe in a seventy-foot electric mast & hundred feet distant, connected with the post by a staying wire. Hadley was flung against a square picket fence, shattering two of the pickets with his head and missing instant death by precisely one inch, the nexs space being occuviea by a fence post. Happily his injuries were not serious. e BROWNS VALLEY CASUALTY. William Bradford Killea by a Blast in a Aine. BROWNS VALLEY, CaL., Sept. 10.— There was an accident at the Webb Com- pany’s mine last night by which William Bradford was killed and James Powers was slightly injured. It seems that the men were using quick-firing fuse and that they had only gone about seven feet when the explosion occurred. Bradford was in- jured in the back and side, besides his whole bod{ being covered with fine punc- tures like bird shot. The men were taken out as soon as possible, Bradford dying about three hours after reaching the sur- face. Bradford leaves a widow and no children. He had two cousins at Lodi, ‘where the remains have been taken to be buried. LEE Ry Suit to Collect @ $3000 Note. SANTA BARBARA, CAL., Sept. 10.— W. J.
