12 CHANCED THE HOVERING STORM Hundreds of Ladies Viewsd the Races at Ingle- side. The Handicap Captured in Rol- licking Fashion by Red Glenn. Schiiler Scored Easily—Waiter J! B:aten in a Hard Drive by Salva- bie—Estaca First at Good Odds. The prospect of being overtaken by the approaching storm and returning home with drooping feathersand soiled finery did not prevent hnndreds of the fair sex from taking advantage of ‘‘ladies’ day’” at Ingieside. The elements were kind enough to withhold the liquid downpour until everybody was well on their way home, and an excelient card of six well- filled events were run off to the perfect satisfaction of the big crowd. Favorites were in winning fettle again and scam- pered away with four of the six races de- cided. The racing was of high caliber and no complaint was heard of any *‘dead ones” parading for the benefit of unscrupulous lavers of odds. The fat purses hung up are an incentive for owners to go out and win. The riding honors were divided be- tween Slaughter, H. Martin, Eddie Jones, Maynard, Willie Martin and Tony Grif- fin’s green ’un, littie Barringer. The $500 handicap over one and a six- teenth miles was the main feature of the day. There were six acceptances of the weights allotted. In the betting there was no pronounced choice, quite a tribute to the handicapper’s cunning. At post time Ed Purser's pair, Red Glenn and Yankes Doodle, ridden respectively by Jones and Doggett, had a slight call” over Hermanita, the ring laying threes against the duo of bays. Cabrillo, Wawona and Adolph Spreckels were all weil played at a | trifle longer price. ‘When sent away out gave up the lead to his stable companion, who relished the soft going as duck does water, and retaining his advan- tage to the end romped in three lengths refore Hermanita. Opposite the paddock it looked as though Cabrillo, who had been running in second position, would take place honors, but the last jump or two he was nosed out by Follansbee's mare. The winner covered the distance in 1:54. Barney Schreiber’s good colt Schiller again made spor: of his company in the opening mile dash. He was backed from 1t02t07t020 and galloped in ahead of Earl Cochran, a 50 to 1 shot. The Spreck- els entry, Wyoming, was a good third. Instailaior made no showing whatever. Yankee Doodle started Thne gray colt Greyhurst gave followers | of ths favorite.s severe setback overt e result of the second race at seven furlongs. Opposed to him were seven very fair two- year-olds, yet 11 to 20 was about the best price laid. Estaca, the Baldwin entry, was said to be a “‘comer,” and the wise | ones backed him at odds of 8 and 9 to 1. J¢ aes on the favorite, closely accompanied by Horatio, set a merry clip to the stretch, | where both began displaying distress sig. nals and were closed on by Arrezzo on the | outside and Estaca, on which *‘Skeets” Martin took a short cut. It dwindled down to a duel between the Baldwin colt and Arrezzo, and the Santa Anita bred youngster gained the decision by hailf a length. Greyhurst was a tired third. A very ordinary lot of maiden jumpers | lined up in the mile and a sixteenth nur- dle affair, and backed down irom 8 to 5 to evens, Snowdown with Maynard up led all the way, and won handily from Bril- liant, a 25to 1 shot. Broad Billow backed from 12 to 214, finished outside of the coin, being beaten for the show by Fred Gard- ner. The fifth event at six and a half fur- | longs developed itself down to a two- horse race between Pat Dunne’s Salvabte, the 8 to 5 favorite, with Wiilie Martin in the saddle, and the unlucky Walter J, with Slaughter un. Walter J was in re- ceipt of ten pounds, and it took all of Martin’s saddle ability to land the first choice winner. Salvable led into the stretch half a length before Walter, and they had it ding-dong to the wire. Mar- to make the running, but he soon | a| tin rode hard the last sixteenth, just get- ting his mount past the wire a nose in lmgt of the True Briton colt, cover.ng the route in 1:2434; & clever run. Wernberg, the runner for quite a distance, was a fair third. Jockey Tommy Murphy bad the nleas- ure of getting headed out by Morte Fonse in the final race over a mile and a quarter, seated astride the 9 to 10 fav: rite Can’t Dance. The first choice made all the run- ning only to be collared and deieated a head by the second favorite in the betting in a finishing drive the last sixteenth. Foremost took the show, e Notes. The California Oaks for three-year-old fillies, over a mile and a furlong, the rich- est stake yet run this season, is the feature of the card at Inglestde this afternoon. Torsina, Argentina, Sweet Faverdale and Summertime should furnish a grand race, for each is a rare good one. The gross value of the stake is $2500. Twenty-ore bookmakers cut in yester- day. The judges fined H. Brown $50 for hisin- different riding of Si. Aignon, oue of the starters in the first race. Young Slaughter will also, in all prob- ability, have a fine to settle. Barney Schreiber’s lightweight had the mount on Adolph Spreckels, which horse started in the handicap, and was requested by the animal’s owner, E. Corrigan, not to un- necessarily punish the colt if he saw that his chances of finishing in the money were hopeless. On the contrary, Mr. Cor- rigan reported to the stand thatthe lad raised big welts on the colt asthough he imagined himself astride a ‘lobster.” Captain Rees said that he would probably fine Slaughter $100.

The Fraudulent Agent of the Press Club to Be Sentenced To-Day. Alexander Dunbar Jr. was yesterday convicted by Judge Low of obtaining money by false pretenses,and was or- dered into custody to appear for sentence to-cay, % Daunbar, it was proved, collected various sums of money from prominent citizens by representing himself as an agent of the Press Club at the time the club was arranging it8 annual benefit. The par- ticular offense for which he was tried was the obtaining of $25 from President Becker of the German Savings Bank. This was not the first time Dunbar had fi-ured in swindling schemes. Three years ago, while in Honclulu, he posed as the proprietor of a business directory en- terprise and secured money from mer- chants and others for acvertisements, but the directory was never published, After his arrival here he started several direc- tories for_the use of Chinese merchants throughout the State and worked the same scheme as he did in Honolulu. BUTTE'S RED GIANT, Captain Hooper, a Power(ul New Recruit, Has Arrived From Montana. Both Elevens Working for To-Mor. row’s Match—Leagua of the Cross to Play Also. The Butte football team is not only determined to defeat the Olympic men again, butis taking every precaution to insure a decisive victory in the game to be played at Central Park to-morrow after- noon, rain or shine. Yesterday the bigzest giant of Butte, the tall red-haired Jim Hooper, arrived from Montana, where he had been compelled to ‘remain behind on account of an auttack of rhenmatism, from whicn he has not yet entirely recovered. He is the captain of the all-conquering eleven from the greatest mining camp on earth and is at the same time, because of his long experience and his superior weight, the particular tower of strength in the Butte line. He and the giant Hall, both atiired in their old Michi- gan varsiiy sweaters of blue with a great yellow M on thLe breast, form a most pic- turesque pair of guards. Each isover6 feet 31nches in height and broad sioul- dered, and most women would describe them as handsome. Hall weighs 212 pounds with his c.othes on and has long, bushy, very light yellowish hair, while Hooper weighs about 230 pounds in ordin- ary dress and has a remarkable and lux- uriant head-covering of the most flaming red hair. They are probably the most striking- looking pair of giant athletes ever seen on a Western gridiron field. Yesterday afternoon the whole Butte aggregation was practicing at Central Park. The team has been workin: every day in preparation for its final effort in California to-morrow. Its record is a series of overwhelming victories, as is shown by ithe folloying list of all the games that Butte arranged fo play this season. Omaha University Club. Doane Col ege, Nebrask: Neor s:a City Athietic A Denver Atbleuc Ciub. Uhiveisity of Nebraska, at Bi University of Towa, at Bu te Olympic (Christmas day) Olympic (New Year’s duy) Portiand Athletic Club. .. And Butte plays good football. Itisnot a particularly tricky game nor do all the men get into the plays, but it has a quick, snappy style of rushing that delignts the spectators and almost demoralizes an op- posing team. Olympic will put a reconstructed team in the field to-morrow. It will include many of the men that forced Butte on Christmas, but several changes are to be made, looking to the formation of more reliable defensive play and the introduc- tion of bard line bucking backs to offset these of the Butte team. ‘Weldon, the old Staniord sub-fullback, will likely be put in at fu iback for Olym- pic not to kick but to buck the line and to catch punts, both of which styles of play he is good. Then Searight, the St ford varsity balf who lost ground rep: edly when given the ball in the Ch mas game, will probably be moved to end because of his speed and excellent deten- sive. He played end in Missouri last year before entering Stanford. Stickney and Morse will be the halves for Olympic. Otherwise the Christmas-day line-up will be repeated. Some of the Olympic players have hopes of holding Butte down to a score of 6—0, with a possibility of a tie. Other of the clubmen shake their heads, and declare that Butte can beatanything on this coast. As Butte was practicin< at Central Park three other teams were also. on the field, roing through their different plays. One was a juvenile team, the Young Bohe- mians, disappointed at the non-appear- ance of the Lincoln Grammar School team with which a game was to have been played. g The Young Bohemians, captained by Richet of 8t. Mary’s Colleze,ana averaging in weight about 135 pounds to the player, are-to meet the Polytechnic High School eleven at Central Park on Saturday fore- noon. The other teams at Central Park yesterday were the little Y. M. C. A. light- weight champions and the University Club eleven that is to meet the Army and Navy team on January 9. These teams, in spite of the evident great difference in weight, faced each other in a practice game, in which honors were about even, though superior playing was shown on the side of the lightweight champions, who have never been defeated during all the three years they have played as a team The University Club has quite an aggre- gation of men who have played footbali in vears gone by, but in individual ability and in recent familiarity with the game, they are beavily handicajped by the ath- letes of the Armv and Navy, most of whom played at West Point or Annapolis last season. / To-morrow forencon the principal foot- ball match of the year among the cham- pions of the League of the Cross will be played at ihe Presidic grounds. Company A and B, the best maiched and greatest rivals, will oppose each other. In every previous contest of these two companies the result has been a tie. S S S The Railroad Appeal The case of Mrs. B. A. Nullaad her daughter, Eva A. Null (an infant), agsinst the Great Northern Railway, has been appealed to United States Cirenit Court cP I’Aeppenls. “1‘; September, 1894, John A. Nuil, the husband and jather of the complainants, was & conduc- toron a freight train on the defendant’s road. He was killed by striking againsta briage at Malita, and the widow sued the company for $20,000 damages. She received judgment for decisio! railroad co:apany now appeals.

BAPY T8 AnbMn(ey. opien (GROCERYMEN ARE 10 BE ARRESTED The Board of Health Dis- covers Adulterated Catsup. Sixteen Firms So'd the Stuff Which Contains Poisonous Acids. Hongkong and Stan;hni Declared to Be Infectsd Ports Because of the Prevafence of Cholera. Sixteen grocers of this City are to be ar- rested within the next few days for vio- lating the laws prohibiting the sale of adulterated foodstuffs. At the meeting of the Board of Health yesterday the chemist presented the fol- lowing report: 1 have carefully analyzed twenty-three samples of tomato catsup. ~Tienty-one ol these were found to have been adulterated with sahicylic acid, and two with boracic acid. Twelve were artificially colored with coal (il colors. Assuming that tomato catsup should contain on the average 80 per cent of water and 20 per cent of solids, including the ash, only six samples would come up to the stand- ard. The samples found to be adultered were purchased at the following groceries: W. B. Cluff, 17 Bixth street; Smith’s Cash Store, Market street; Willlam Cline, 949 Mar- ket; W. F. Harris & Co., 90 Ninth; J. D. Mauler, Mission and Tweifth; J. W. Réichers, 601 Larkin; H. A. Schultze, Turk _and Polk; Stu'z Bros., 1931 Fillmore; L. M. Walters, 2815 California; M. D.

Fabien Bros., 1701 Siockton. The chief food inspector of the board was instructed to swear out warrants for ail of those who had sold the adulterated goods. The reports of cholera at Hongkong and Shanghai were taken up and discussed, and the following resolution passed on motion of Dr. Wiiliamson: Resolved, That the ports of Shanghai and Hongkoug are hereby declared infected, and that the quarantine officer be and hereby 1s directed to remand a!l steerage passengers nd baggage, and also the mails from these ports, to the United States quarantine author ities at Angel Island for disinfection. The secretary is hereby instructed to for- ward & copy of this resolution to the Collector of Customs ot this port, to the Postmaster and 1o the United States and local quarantine of- ficers. Paul Edwards was appoinntod to the position of steward of the City and County | H spital, vice William Robinson, re- signed. 3 It was decided to take up the charges against the chief Food and Mitk Inspec- tor, which were thrown out of court by Judge Hebbard, and hold an investiga- tion. The testimony in the matter wiil be beard in special session on Wednesday next. The Hospital Committee rendered a re- port on the condition of the City and County Hospital and the efforts that have been made 10 induce the Supervisors to place the building in repair. Aiter reviewing much of what has al- ready been said and written of the sani- tary condition of the institution, the re- port concludes: A ~We further trust that when this report be- comes a matter of public information some of the represen ative citizens who pretend to have the interests of this City at heart but who are continually bewailing the possible addition to their annual tax biils of an iuvsiz- nificant fraction of a mill on the dollar will take the time and the trouble to visit and iv- | spect the indecent exhibition and flagrant | demonstration of the niggardly manner in which the goverament of San Francisco pro- vides for the care of the indigent sick, and that once having seen and appreciated the pitiable condition which we have feebly a tempted todescribe they will never have the temerity to deny that the opprobrinm which has so tenaciously attached itself to this time- bonored, misshapen and misconducted muni- cipal monsirosity s not tne result of a neglect on the part of the health authorities, but is simply and entirely due to the faulty system ol civic administration which takes from the hands of your board the power to direct the proper disposition of funds placed to your credit for use in the Health Department. Dr. Willinmson said, aiter the report was adopted and the secretary ordered to send a copy to the Supervisors, that if no attention was paid to it it would be proper to abandon the hospital. I T0 BASE WIE VALUES The Fight for Trade in New Orleans Has Proved D sastrous. The Big Cut in Prices Has Brought the Eusiness Where There’s Nothing in It A meeting of the California Wine- growers’ Corporation has been cailed, to be held this week, to take some action with regard to the slash in prices that has been going on in New Orleans for the past several weeks, The break in prices bas been such that winemen in the New Or- leans market are declared to be losing money. The pricz agreed upon by the corporation and which stood for four months, leaving something of a profit, was 26 and 27 cents. Competition and secret underselling began and continued for some time, ana the stable market be- gan to rock. It was charged that members of the Growers’ Corporation were among the first at fault in breaking from the agreed price. Finally the Califorpia Wine Asso- ciation deciared tlatly a rate of 22 cents. This was 2 ceats lower than it had been previous to the establishment of the price by the agreement of the corporation at 26 cents, end since then the tendency has been downward. The latest quotation is 19 cents. Hence the calling of the meet- ing to discuss some pian of re establishing a better price on a stronger basis. P. C. Rossi of the ltalian-Swiss Colony, large growers and dealers, speaking of the matter, said: +All the leading firms in this City, such as Gundlach & Bundchu, Lachman & Jacobi, the Italian-Swiss Colony, Cheva- lier and othérs, have agencies in New O leans. Kor along time the price of 26 cents a gallon was maintained there, but recently some cg.m"' _appreciating the fact that merchants of New Orleans pa cash prompfl{ for all goods purchased, hit upon th- idea of dickering for credit in California and selling for cash in the Crescent City. They succeeded :y going from grower to grower and from deaier to deuler in getling a long credit, and imme- diately began to undersell the agencies of the California Wine-growers’ Association in the New Orleans market. The associa- tion authorized its agents there to make such concessions as were necessary to hold the trade. The price consequently dropped from 26 to 22 cents, and mer- chants, perceiving the downward tend- ency, ceased purchasing, believing that prices would go still jower.” The cut has not gone beyond New Or- leans. Prices are maintained in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago and New York. Leading wjne-growers assert that the fixed price of 20 cents in California is low enough, and that any figure below that rate would be less than a small profit on the cost of production. Letters have been received from agents of the association in New Orleans,wherein it is said that merchants are not buying, but holding out for a further decline. There is some apprehension that large dealers in 8an Francisco may deem it ex- pedient to swing away from association prices and sell at reduced fizures. New Orleans is a big market for Cali- fornia wines, and is thereiore a seat of constant warfare among the merchants. The wine sold there is the cheapest grade of ciaret—all claret. Something over 4,000,000 eailons are sold there annually. It is thought ihat some means wiil be found to re-establish a better price at the called meeting of the corporation, New Year’s Day for Young Men. An extensive programme has been arranged for the entertainment of members and friends at the Young Men’s Christian Association Building to-morrow, and the following will be the order of exercises: At 12 o’clock, noon, President McClish of the University of the Pacific will detiver an address to young men only, on a subject avpropriate to the oceasion. From 2 1o 5 o'clock a committee of fifty ladies and gentlemen will receive young men and friends of the association. During the alternoon there will be music by tne Colum- bian orchestra and the Knickerbocker qua: recitations by Miss Featherston, vocal selection by the Mi‘ses Smith. One novelty of the afternoon recevtion will be the Ninety- seven Postoffic: in charge of twenty yonng ladies; through this postoffice every young gentleman guest will receive a personal greet- ing und souvenir of the day. In the evening there wil! be a grand concert given by the California Quartet, assisted by Miss Elizabeth Finch Bartlett, reader; Miss Carolyn Boyan, contralto; A. Armand Solo- mon, violin; Adolph M. Laaa, 'cello, and Miss Mollie E. Pratt, accomj-anist, An invitation is extended to all friends of the institution to call and pay their respects during the above hours, ——————— Very few people actually die from old age.
