T, M'GREGOR WON HANDILY Captured the Follanshee Handicap From Char- treuse. Camelia at 30 to 1 Furnished the Big Surprise of the Day. Alvarado Won in a G31lop—01d Yemen Tcok a Race — Reddington a Pretty Good Jumper. The Follansbee handicap at seven fur- | longs was decided at Oakland track yes- terday. Hardtack in England didn’t | start because the handicapper considered him within two pounds as good a horse as Mt. McGregor II and Ruinart, the latter | the crack thrae-year-oid of California. | Hardtack beat a gang of hounds at Ingle- | side and was delegated to carry 108 | pounds, so Trainer Billy Randall wisely | declared. There were nine «starters though and as usual the Burns & Water- house pair, Wernberg and Mt. McGregor II, coupled in the betting, ruled even- money favorites. The rice was worth | $950 to the winner and sailing away in | front at the turn Mt. McGregor waited on pretty Miss Chartreuse 1I to the siretch | and then beat her outa head. He was joking at the end, according to Jockey | Eddie Jones, and could have won by more. Gallant, ridden by Pebble Thompson, with 85 pounds in the saddle, showed an | inclination to swerve in the stretch, but | succeeded in nipning third money. Loben- gula, Ruinart and Lucky Dog ran disap- pointingly to th ir backers. | The day was pleasant and a large crowd was in attendance. Favorites flatiered their backers by winning three races. Jockey Eddie Jones was very much in evidence by riding three winners past the wire. Frank Phillips thought he had a good thing in the first race with his mare Can- dor, who was made a 6 to 5 favorite; but Nick Hall’s La Fleche easily overhauled | her in the stretch and won easily from the favorite by a length. Jack Richlieu was a third. The second event was over seven fur- longs, and Merry Monarch, on which a very warm tip was prevalent, occupied the place of honor with 13 to 5 about him. He got away from the gate and was kept busy holding his own. Camelia, a1 30 to 1, graduully hopped along, and the last few jumps snatciied the purse from Flash- light by a face in 1:32)4. Viking, a 150 to 1 chance, who looked a winner until op- | posite the paddock, finished a good third. It is more than evidentthat Kamsin and Jockey Golden have b:come track-sore, or else “*‘dope” books and field-glasses snould be discarded. KEzell’s gelding opened equal favoritein the betting with Alva- rado, but_the latter horse got the patron- age and closed at_even money. He won, 1 | money of course, and Docter G, with the wise on him for the place, finished second, and how could it be otherwise? Ina frizntfuliy terrific drive Golden on Kamsin did “succeed in taking place honors from Can’t Dance, Jockey Slaughter is from Texas, and so 13 Wade McLemore, owner of Ko- walsky. There was a wide and expansive play on this Texas-owned horse; be even closed second choice to Frank Brown’s | Yemen, who was held at 9 to5 closing. Slaughier got his horse awsav irom the post well, took him back, let Yemen run off in front, then came out and fin- | second. This same young Mr. Slaughier did the llnme thing not many davs ago on Braw | Scot, and pity it 18 his employer, Barney | | Schreiber, was not here to see the rides, that he, too, might appiand. Tampa, | who now and then runs some, was a fair third. Reddington, Mr. Corrigan’s jumper, | opened a 2 to 1 choice for the mile and a | balf hurdle handicap, but as the distance | i was considered too far for him he receded “THE CALL” RACING GUIDE.

The judges at Ingleside yesterday ren- dered a decision relative to the suspension of Messrs. Short & Davis, owners of the mare Saliie Sensible, which ran some peculiar races at the local track. The owners and Jockey H. Martin are exoner- ated from biame for her showing on De- cember 4, but ex-jockey Glover, who it is claimed had charge of the mare on that date, is suspended indefinitely and uis badgs is ordered taken up, The running of the mare in future un- der the personal supervision of Mr. Short will be watched with keen interest by the public. The track at Oakland yesterday was in fairly good condition. To give an idea of what it was on Friday, Soniro, whe cap- tured the first race, finished barefooted, having lost both front plates in the gluey voing. Reddiugton, who was beuten out by Palmerston, lost a front piate and Cant Dance, another of Mr. Corrigan’s horses, finished with a plate nearly twisted off one forefoot. A. B. Bpreckels thinks an injustice has been done in barring certain horses from the betting and states so in the following letter to the judges at Ingleside. Dec. 18, 1896, Messrs. James H. Rees and J. W. Wiison, Judges Ingleside Kacetrack, (ity—GENTLEMEN: My at- tention has been called to your ruling whereby certain bad-uciing horses have been barred in the betting on the Ingleside racetruck. In my juagment this rule is an injustice to owners aud will cause dissatisiaction as long asitis in vegue. Owuers, as a rule, sre as blind to the faults of their horses as mothers are to the fanlts of their children. 1suggest thatin the future you discontinue barring bad actors in the betting, but in lien thereof posta list of the names of these horses with & notice to the pub:ic that they will not, under any circum- stances, be permitted to delay the start. When this is done varties betting on these bud actors do 50 with the full knowledge that they must slart promptly or be liable to be leit at the post. Rule 116 of the American Turf Congress { very exp.cit on this point and the staries should be directed to strictly enforee it.

SPRECKELS, President.rs | GRAND JURY ON PARK AFFAIRS Cost and Material of the Fine Bridge and Tunnel. An Army Engineer Employed as an Expert on Concrete. Irving M Scott, Lieutenant Potter, Architect Coxhead and Superin- tendent McLaren Testify. The Grand Jury, it transpires, has been delving into accounts and having expert examinations of matérial made to ascer- tain if the very large sums of money ap- propriated for the maintenance and im- vrovement of Golden Gate Park have been provperly Cisbursed. It was observed yes- terday at the session of the Grand Jury that First Lieutenant C. L. Potter, U. S. A., Corps of Engineers, was one of the wit- nesses in waiting. What business the Grand Jury had with an eminent engineer was a | matter to cause surprise. The officer de- clined to enlighten outsiders in this respect, but subsequently it was ascer- tained that Mr. Potter had been engaged as ap expert to examine the concrete in the bridge and tunnel near the museum in Golden Gate Park. His services were sought by W. L. Ashe, Harry W. Goodall and E. P. Farnsworth of the park com- mittee—three alert members of the jury. The first witness called in the park in- vesti:ation was Irving M. Scott, president of the Buard of Park Commissioners. The jurors asked him many questions concern- ing the present and prospective plans of park improvements. In response to in- quiries he explained the board’s system of disbursing the money of the taxpayers and described the permanency of the work performed by the Commissioners. Lieutenant Potter was the next witness called.” The main points of his testimony may be set forth in the final report to Judge Slack. It is surmised that Mr. Pot- ter’s communications to the jury were in a sens - confidential. Architect Coxhead, who has charge of the construction of the bridge and tunnel, exhibited plans and specifications to the jury and replied to a great number of uestions. He was followed by John Mec- aren, superintendent of the park. The bridee and tunnel work at the park will cost about $30,000. Thearchitectsays it is highly creditable to the park manage- ment. Mr. McCleilan is the contractor for the stone work; Gray Bros. have the contract for the concrele work. The Park Commissioners this year have an allow- Ltk of $250,000. Last year they expended Supervisor Benjamin was< called to en- lighten the jury on.ihe subject of drugs and medicines for certsin public institu- tions. He is chairman of the Hospital Cimmittee and a member of the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors, The requisitions on which Wallgr Brothers suppiy several City institutions with drugs come from Mr, Benjamin, , The Su- 7 | pervicor told the Grand Jury that requi- sitions wera made because certain artic.es required were not supplied by contract as they should be. He did not regard the charges made by Waller Brotbers as ex- orbitant. His experience taught him that dealers were not anxious to sell goods to the City. Samuel Waller spoke his mind freely to the Grand Jury. As soon as he took his seat in the jury-room August E. Drucker began firing questions at him. Waller testified that he charged a gooa round price for articles required and that he supplied the goods on requisitions issned by Supervisor Benjamin. He thought that it was the business the Finance Com- mittee of the board to withhold payment if the prices charged were too high. Mr. Waller testified that he furnished articles to three jails, the Almshouse, Morgue and City Receiving Hospital. He ascribed much of the existing con- fusion to the Board of Healtn, the mem- bers of which were overanxious to haye the money now disbursed by authority o the Supervisors turned over to the Health Board. The highest compliments wera not paid to the industry of the physicians attending the jails. Waller testified that he was frequently called and importuned to attend the sick and suffering. When the doctors could not be fonnd he was sent for to prescribe for ‘“‘opium fiends” and others who were suffering from neglect. The witness was asked the direct ques- tion whether he paid any commission for the privilege of selling aruzs to the Oity, and answered in ihe negative. Movable stairs, which revolve on drums, are coming into use in some of the best residences in Paris. They work on the principle of an endless chain; the passene ger steps on, and is gradually conveyed to the landing above. NEW (DOCTOR COOK.) TO-DAY. FOR THE BEST TREATMENT CALL ON OR WRITE TO DR.
