THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1896. PLAYED FOR A /- MILD KILLING" Lucania, Backed From 100 to 20 to 1, Broke Down " Badly. i Flashlight Was Beaten Out a‘\ Head by Argentina, the Favorite. Walter .J, at 20 to 1, Afforded His | the last race Palmerston was left the first time the barrier was raised, and the field was called back. Shaw on Quicksilver furnished a very bungling ride. The biz chestout should have taken the long end of the purse. Daisy W was backed down from 100 to 1 by her stable to capture the last race. She stopped badly in the stretch. Lady Diamond, after opening at 7 to 5, receded in the betting to 7 to 2. She made a good showing and should about win next time out. The poolrooms are again running in fuil blast, and to those players known to be “all right” odds are laid, in many in- stances bi-her than the track prices. Combinations are also made. Notices in the rooms state that no commissions will be received after 1 o’clock on the day of the race, but bets are both taken and paid and odds laid after that hour. Following are the siarters in the events to be decided to-day: ighths of a mile—Lomo 105, ice 105, 246 Ezeki-1 98, 271 dah 95, 271 Playboy 105, 272 Defe der 95, 271 Lucky Tuck 108, 256 Red Fork 105, 271 Valdos 95, 246 Widow Jones 105, 271 274 Pollock n_107, 263 97, 284 Lit- 109. | Autocrat 105.

The fast mare Lucania, running in the colors of Bookmaker George Rose, one of five starters in the fourth race, was to have been the medium of a biz coup and while running very flatteringly to the se- lect few who got aboard broke down just as the bend for the wire was reached. She played down from odds of 100 to 1 to and 30. 3 Patsy Freeman set astride the ghter of Sir Modred and after the race the auburn-haired jockey looked as though he had staked his last dollar on the high | card and lost.

THE RUSS HOUSE. A Famous 'Hosteiry That Maintains Its High Character StilL There is not in the State a hotel so familiar to old Californians as tne Russ, nor one that has kept up its reputa- | tion so well for reliability and excellent would have been cashed. The race after this proved a gift for the even-money | choice, Chartreuse II, which won in romp- | ing fashion from Lady Diamond. The weather was perfect for racing pur- poses, the crowd was quite fiberal in | urplus cash. Three favor- ites, a second choice and a 20 tolshot furnished bettors with Santa Claus mopey. Riot and Henry Grattan were very hot service, especiailv siwce it came under the management of J. 8. Young, who has suc- ceeded Mr. Seymour. An improvement has been made in the cuisine, the apart- ments and in the accommodations of the entire hotel. . The reasons why the Russ has been such a favorite with guests are many. It has all the convenienceso a well-equipped hotel, with the added comforts of a home, tips handed around to capture the first race on the cara, a six-furlong selling dash, but both haa to give way to the 7 to 5 choice, Cadenza, which mare, with Jones up, won verv handily from Isabella, a 20 to 1 shot ridden by Frawley. Grat- 1an ridden by his owner, Marty Bergen, finished in the W. Fifteen sprinters started in the next| event, a five and a half furlong scramble, | and liberal odds were quoted against all. | At the close Banjo und Gold Bug were most in demand; being laid inst either. *‘Pebble” ympson on Gold Bug showed in front soon after the barrier was raised,and the stocky little chestnut easily disposed of his company, finishing tkree lengths in advance of Irma, an 8§to1 out- sider. Marty Bergen again took third money with his horse, O’Fleeta. Charley Thorpe very much in evi- dence again with the leg up on the Bald- win entry, Argentina, which mare with Little Cripple ruled equal favorite in the betting on the third event, over a mile. Argentina acted badly at the post, and when the field finally was dispatched she had much the worst of the start. | Slaughter on Fiashlight, a7 to 1 chance, sto’e a march on the field at the turn, and | for a while it looked as though he was going to elope with the big end of the Striking tuer head of the stretch h position, Thorpe sat down on Ar- gentina and becan to ride. She rapidly closed on the leader, and in an exciting irive crossed the piate a short head before :be outsider, reeling off the mile in 1:41, a track record. Lattle Cripple was a fair | third. Of the fifteen sprinters originally entered in the final five and a half furiong sprint seven declined the issue. Mont- gomery, with ninety-nine pounds up, and Jones to do the piloting, had his odds cked down from 8 to 5 to evens and after looming up prominently for a way, quit like a *dog.”” Quicksilver,with Shaw up, second ‘choice in the ring, looked a winner up to the last few strides, when be was nipped out by the 20to 1 chance, Walter J, ridden by Staughter. Sea Spray was a good third sl BN Notes. The George Goulet Champagne handi- cap at six fnrlongs and the Palo Alto handicap, also over six furlongs, are down | for decision to-day. There was one flag recall yesterday. In | while its location is central, being near banks, theaters and business houses. Among the other improvements intro- duced by Mr, Young are new incan- | descent lights and a rapid modern ele- vator. All these advantages can be enjoyed | by the visitor from the interior at mod- erate cost, thus doing away with the high prices which make a stay in the City 50 expensive. J. 8. Young is well known to the com- munity as a business man of character and standing, and his attention to the comfort of his guests has increased the popularity of the Rus LOCAL INDUSTRY. The Dow Steam Pump Works X Their Capacity. Certainly there is not an establishment on this coast better known than the above. Indeed the principal mine pump- ing plants of the coast have been supplied by this concern and numbers of its mine sinking pumps have recently been shipped to mines in Gra s Valley and other points with gratifying results. They can be operated either with steam or com- pressed air. Tire success of the Dow pumps on the Pacific Coast has compelled the firm to in- crease the capacity of the works in this City, where all its machinery is made, and therefore duplicates can be quickly sup- plied. Electrical pumping plants are also receiving the concern’s att-ntion, and this branch has grown to large pro- portions. In many of the mines of California and Arizona their mine sta- tion pumps and sinking pumps, both worked by electricity, are in opera- tion. Their horizontal triplex electrically driven pumps are built for heads from 300 to 1500 teet and from capacities of twenty-five galions per minute and up- ward, A visit to the Dow Steam Pump Works, 110 to 120 Beale street, is always oi interest to mining men. rease ——— The Hollanders are descended from the Batavi, woom Cemsar tried to conquer, but with whom he afterward made an al- liance. —— Brittany isinhabited by the descendents of the original Britons or Bretons. “THE CALL” RACING GUIDE.

Fine Prospects at Palo Aito for a Winning Team This Season. Not Sure cf a Goad Pircher, but Some Crack Athletes Are Ameng the N:w Men. Big “'Biil” Lange, one of the star base- ball- players on Eastern diamonds and probably the greatest fielder in America, was engaged yesterday afternoon to coach the Stanford baseball team during the coming season. : Negotiations for his services had been going on for some time, the immediate obstacle in the way of the Stanford man- agement being the lack of ready funds on the part of the student body, which feared that nothing would be lefr in the treasury after all old debts and season’s expenses should be paid out of the football profits of the year. The baseball men circulated subserip- tion lists among the students and by pri- vate contributions raised the money neces- sary to obtsin the services of the coach. Yesterday Baseball Manager E. James of Stanford came to this City andcom- pleted arrangements with Lange, who has been here several weeks. The coach will take the Palo Alto players in hand on Fevbruary 1 and will give them instruc- tions each afternoon until early in March. Lange will then leave for Chicago 1o re- sume his position as center tielder on the great Chicago professional team., When Lange leaves “Billy” McLatue, who has played as pitcher on the Staniord Varsity Jor four seasons, the full limit of service according to the existing intercollegiate agreement, will help to coach the players. He captained the Varsity last year. It was Lange wuo coached the Stanford team for three weeks lastseason. Hissuc- cess, though he was with tue men but that short time, made him the first choice of the Staniord players. This season he will devote six weeks to the team. Speaking of the baseball cutlook at Palo Alto Manager James declared yesterday that he does not think Staniord ever had brighter prospects than at present.. The only drawback, he says, is the lack of a firsi-class pitener to take McLaine’s old place. But Lange says that he does not worry about a pitcher. He thinks that from the material at hand hecan work one into form in th - time that he is to nave to spend on the team. ‘ Manager James is having the baseball field on the campus put in excellent con- dition so that the half hour or more of regular practice during the afternoon rec- reation hours may begin as soon as uni- versity work is resumed after the present hoiiday vacauon., This year he asserts Stanford will have one of the best base- bali diamonds ever in the State. He is taking particular pains to have a good field. For five successive years Stanford has dsteated the University of California in the annual intercollegiate baseball matches and has heid the championship. Tue Varsity nine of the season of '97 that is to maintain the championship or lose it to a better team will be developed from the following players: Pitcher—Weldon ’98, who was one of the Varsity pitchers during 1894 and 1895, and who is expected to retura 1o college at tne be- ginuing o1 the new year; Plate '99, Ruddell ’97 and Clemans '00, & football-pluyer himself and a brother of the old Sianford gridiron hero, and reputed to be an excelleut basebail- iyer. R Catcher—C. Strohn 00, who played first base for the Tufts-Lyons when that team re- cently won the coast champipnship; Jeffs 98, Varsily calcher last season and end on the Varsity football team for the past two seasons. First buse—Young '97, Varsity first base last season; Bronco '98, promising new man. Becond base and shortstop—Harris’99, Var- sity second base last season, who will return to college at the beginning of the year; Taylor 98, Varsity shortstop last season, who is ex- pected to re-enter_college; R. Strohn '98, who played oun the Varsity tefgm last season; Loughead '00, who played shortstop for Tufts-Lyons in the final championship games at San Frauncisco; Murphy '00, the ireshman uarterback who distinguished himself in the %hankszi\'ing footbali game and who is also a hurdier end & jumper. Third base—Sharp '99, who played the po- sition on last season's Varsity. Left field—Jeffs ’08, the Varsity eatcher of last year; Wight '98, substitute on the team last year; C. McLaine '00, brother of the old pitcher. ’99, who held the Center fleild—Freeman positiun last season and who 15 also a football- player and oneof the two intercoliegiate tennis champ’ons. Rigat field—Captain Charles Thompson '97, of santa Burbara, who filled the place last year. Games wili be arranged with the Uni- ver ity of Californ:a, SBanta Clara College, St. Mary’s College, the Olympic Club and the Reliance Cluo. EEsce il FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL. dames That Will Be Played To-Day at Central Park and Preslidio. The third annual game of football be- tween the Cosmos and Crocker teams will be held this forenoon at Central Park. This will be the third meeting of those crack teams, and it goes without saying that a spirited and interesting game will result. The first game ended in a tie, the score standing 4 to 4, the second in a vic- tory for the Cosmou,Club by a score of 6 to 0 and to-day’'s game will decide the championship. The Crocker team has been training on the quiet by moonlight for some time, and the ‘‘boys” will be ‘sadly disappointed should they fail tosweep their opponents off the earth this jorenoon. Doubtless a large crowd will witness the contest. The soldiers at the Presidio will engage in a game of baseball at 2 o’clock this afternoon on the Presidio reservation, According to the caprainsof the respective nines the players are well trained and in splendid conuition to give gooda account of themselves. The line-upis as follows: p3olden Gates. Posttion. will meet the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation team in a football game at Cen- tral Park on Saturday afternoon. Repre- sentatives of the various collezes will be resent in strong force. The San Francisco handball court has arranged a first-class programme of games for to-day. Lhe first event will be called at 10 A, M. s' arp, and. the sport will con- tinue until 5 ». 3., when adjournment for d.nner will be the order. BOXING UP A STEAMSHIP. Portable Vessels for Use in South America—New Idea in Ship-building. The task of building a steamship, set- ting it up. and then shipping 1t te South America in boxes, such as was performed at Nixon’s shipyard, in Elizabethport, was novel in shippinfg experiences in this country. Portable houses have been common for many years. Port- able steamers have been not uncom- mon in this country. They have been set up on many lakes, especially in the ‘West, where there has been no facility for building such craft. The two vessels that ply on Devils Lake, in North Dakota, are instances of that, for they were brought from the banks of the Mississippi, even in the days when the hostile Sioux ranged ihrough North Dakota. Such vessels have usually been stowed away on mon- ster trucks. They have usually been of wood. The one that Mr. Nixon sent the United States of Colombia, to ply on the Magda- lena River, had to be gut in boxes, big and little. Altogether there were some- thing like 200 of these boxes. They filled three lighters and were loaded from the lighters to a tramp steamship. The name of the portable steamer was the Marie Hanabergh. Of course it was a small affair, but it was built with as muck care as a larger vessel. It was built on ways, as if it were to be launched here. Every plate and beam was put in place, all the woodwork was fitted, the encine and every part of the craft was made to fit just as 1f the boat was to ply in these waters, The rivets, however, were not put in. The vessel was paintea blue on one side of the interior, and white on the other side of the interior. This was to facilitate the erection of the vessel on the Magdalena River. Every plate, bolt and frame was marked to correspond with the plans, and then the little crafit was taken apart, and thisand that part packed away in boxes. The boilers, of course, needed no boxes, but each piece of the machinery and each part of the hull was stowed away without difficulty. Mr. Nixon will send one of his assist. ants to the destination of the vessel to superintend her erection. She will be-put together on ways and launched pre- cisely as she would have b en launched had she remained in this country. It is simply a question of riveting the hult together, and of fasiening the parts of the engine together, and then the vessel will be complete. It isinterest- ing to know that Mr. Nixon had foreign competition in securing the contract for the vessel. He underbid three foreign shipyards as to price and also guaranteed to deliver the vessel quicker than any other bidder. He built the craft in almost exactly sixty days.—New York Sun. e AN OLD CALIFORNIAN, Mr. Annis Merrill was born in Harwich, Mass., in 1810. He comes of a long-lived and intelligent family, and it can be safely said that there are few men to-day who possess as bright 8 wind as Mr. Merrill. “rm 2 Tep & \ 2 \‘q ",4 He is an ardent exponent of silver, and once thoroughly launched into the sub- ject becomes a brilliant and convincing Lorator. Like many of the early pioneers Mr. Merrill has witnessed and participated inmany of the stirring incidents of those dangerous times.

She Was Detected Stealing in the Emporium and Attempted to Escape. The Poiice Belicv: She Is an Old Hand at the Business and Are Looking Up Her Record. Detectives, policemen in plain clothes and private detectives have been for sev- eral days watching tLe large retail stores for pickpockets and shoplifters, No cases of any consequence were re- ported, but yesterday morning a tall, stylishly dressed woman was caughtin the act of shopliiting in the Emporium. Shortly after the store was opened the woman entered and, went directly to the laaies’ furnishing department on the up- per floor. She purchased a few trifling articles in baby clothing, and was walking away when the clerk who had waited upon her noticed what he supposed was a lace-bordered handkerchief protruding from under the heavy fur cape worn by the woman. He called to her to look out for her lace handkerchief as she might fose 1t, but she paid no attention to him. He ran after her, and, taking hold of the lace, he pulled it out to pass to her. . To his surprise it proved to be a lon and expensively trimmed baby’s gown. Realizing that she had been detected the woman ran, and, escaping from the upper floor was makiug for the street. when she was stopped by Detectives Green and Allen of Morse’s agency, and they took her to the City Prison, where she was booked on the charge of petty larceny. The woman pretended that she could not speak English, and the servicesoi a Swedish interpreter were procured. She toid bim that her name was Dena Matson, and that she was living with a family named Anderson at 329 Sixth street. She finally confessed thet she spoke English, and admitted baving stolen the baby’s gown. She stole the gown from the counter while the clerk’s back was turned, and concealed it under her arm. In her hurry she failed to gather up the skirt of tue gown, which hung down below the bottom of her fur cape and led to her detection. In appearance she isa very attraciive woman, and was dressed in exquisite taste. The officers believe that she is an old hand at the game, and they will en~ deavor to look up her record. WARING AT A OERTAIN HOUR. The Boston Man Who Heard the Clock g Strike Six. A man who wished to make sure that an ailing child 1n a bed in an adjoining room kept covered through the night,and who before he went to sleep himself made a mental memorandum to the effect that he must not sleep without waking more than an houror two, really fell into a very sound slumber. But in the midst of 1t he was awakened by apparently hear- g the bell of the town clock, not far away, strike 6 o’¢clock, all the strokes fall- ing clearly—one, two, three, four, five, six. Now, this man is accustomed to rise eve;y morning at 6 o’clock, and seldom sleeps past that hour. 1t has long been for bim the end of the nightand the begin- ning of the day. As he heard ‘the strokes naturally he bad the impression that he had slept all night and hau neglected the child. He got up quickly and was surprised to find that the darkness was intense, and, on striking a licht and consulting his watch, he was astonished to find not only that he bad not slept more than two hours, but that no bell had struck; that it was be- tween the hours, so that he could not have heard the clock strike some other hour and mistaken iv for 6. ‘Ihere was, it should be mentioned, no s:riking clock in the house nor any within hearing except NEW TO-DAY. A A A A A~ the town clock, which he supposed he had heard but nad not. - Now this seems to be a clear case of the operation of some sort of machinery in the man’s mind whereby he was roused by the prematurs occurrence of the sensa- tion of a summons that was sure to awake him under ordinary circumstances. That the man was soun_asleep was proved by the fact that he might easily have heard the bell strike 11 and 12, for the window was open, and soon aiterward, peing now awake, he neard it strike 1 o’clock loudly, but he neard nothing of the noisy striking of these hoars. af He had gone to sleep very tired, and, but for this summons so skillfully di- rected by the sub-consciousness, occurring at the expiration of the time he had set when he fell asleep, he mizht easily have slept all night. The ringing of no hour but six ever roused him ander o:dinary circumstances; ‘‘therefore,”’ said bis un- sleeping sup-consciousness, ‘I will ring in 6 u'cioek on him ana see it that will make him get up and cover the baby.” The faige summons worked like a charm. Such things make more than Alice in Wonder- land “‘play that they are two people.”— Boston Transeript. A GREAT BOOKBINDERY, An Establishment kavorably Enown to Our Business Men. Bince J. B.
