12 THE SAN FR e e s NGRS R CISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, ‘1897 THE 0AKS TAKEN BY ARGENTINA Baldwin’s Entry Beats Out Torsina by a Nose. Sam Doggett Lands the Richest Prize of the Racing Season. Gallant Again Comes to the Front. Frank K Ahead—Caspar Had but a Gillop. The California Osks, destined to become one of the classic events of the California turf, was decided at Ingleside Track yes- terday before a large concourse of race- goers. It was for three-year-old fillies, over a mile and a furlong, and will be- come famous in far West turf history as one of the prettiest and most exciting finishes ever witnessed in these parts. The winner, Argentina, a daughter of Gano and Dolly L, ¢arried the familiar black with red Maltese. cross and cap of the millionaire. owner of Santa Anita ranch, E. J. Baldwin. There will always be found among those who viewed the gruelling finish and saw Torsina, the 2 to 1 chuice, carrying 108 pounds, ridden by Parsy Freeman, beaten a nose by Argen- tina, sonie who will say the favorite should have -won. Sam Doggett had the leg up on the win- ner, which carried 117 pounds, and he time and Torsino at her heels, picked out the going to the stretch, with Argentina traveling quietly along on the outside. Pointed for the wire the favorite took the lead with Argentina and Summertime as closs company, and the trio furnished a rare, exciting trip home. : Torsina looked a possible and likely winner until opposite the padaock when her questioned gameness again came be- fore the court, and under a slight touch of the bat she swerved. Argentina then forged ahead and in a desperate drive cap- tured the rich prize by a nose. Summer- time, who evidenily quit and then re- sponded again, was lapped on the place hore, and but for her recent illness might have been a more obsiinate contender. The winner's ime was 2:013. The other events were al! well contested. Three of the five first choices won and the talent experienced another profitable day of it. The Spreckels entry Gallant, an 8 to 5 favorite for the opening seven furlong run, was in fine fettle, and drawing away from his field at the far turn won w¥ithout much in reserve from San Marco, who was none too well ridden. Petrarch secured the show. The second number on the card was another seven-furlong dash. Billy Ma- grave’s moccasin-footed colt, Frank K, was made an 8 to 5 favorite, and with all the class he won easily from Flashlight, although Willie Martin drew the finish pretty fine. Caspsr was at odds on for the fourth race, over five furlongs, and he won as far as he wished from Sweet Wilhan. Mer- cutio, on which Shaw beat the barrier, was a fair third. Tom Griffin’s four-year-old Monte Fonse is a repeater. He came out for the last race, over a mile and a sixteenth, second choice to Benamela, and in a drive beat Dunne’s colt a length and a half, starting at the friendly oddsof 16 to 5. La Mascota was third, e Notes. The rich Shreve & Co. cup will be con- tested for at Ingleside to-day. All the best handicap horses on the coast will line up, and racegoers are assured of see- ing the'greatest racing card of the season run off Two trains will convey racegoers to the track from Fourth and” Townsend streets to-day.. The first will leave at 10'clock and the second at 1:20. Jack Riley, ‘the - celebrated ' Eastern Shreve & Co’s Trophy, to Be Jockey Presented to the Pacific Coast Club. rode ome of his grandest finishes, His | percentage of winning mounts the past season in the East shows him to be one of the bestiders we ever had, and possibly he outelasses the auburn-haired Patsy ina tight pinch, but little fault can be founa with the latier's handiing of the shapely dau_hter of Torso. If he did err, it may possibly have Leen a hundred yards from the vire, when he drew bis whip and the | mare swerved toward the inner rail. It was a Tich prize; . he roae his level best; | if he- made an error, other noted riders | have made mistakes before him. | The weather was clear and cool, but the track was heavy from the rain of the past few days. Next the rail it was inclined to be'slushy, bit on the outside it looked | lite ‘o °skating-rink, and this was the course -trivén for by the riders of the anti- | mud fanciers. 0! course the Oaks held precedent over the other-numbers on the programme. It was the third event run and some very heayy betting was indulged in. Torsina was always a consistent 2 to 1 choice. with Summertime at 16 to 5 and Sweet Faver- 7.t0 2 the mext most fancied. dale at 7 Trainer Frank Taylor was a trifle afraid that the heavy poing would not suit Argentina and 5 and 6 0 1 was obtaineble against her.. Lucille and the other two starters, imp. Miss Brammel and Japon- ica, were. slightly nibbled at by the out- side players. At the post Argentina acted badly, evi- | dently wanting to leave her opponents | before the The start was finally a good one.” ‘Miss Brummel, with Summer- tipster, was successful in picking four of the five winners yesterday. Gallant was inclined to stop badly at the finish. If it were possible to race a horse using crutches, Frank K would be compelied to use a pair. He is a grand old cripple.

ASA FISK'S ACTIVE LIFE How the Poor Yankee Lad Worked His Way to Wealth, Hs Early Life Spent-on the Farm and as a Grocer's Clerk. Was Once a State Senator—He Built One of the First Street Rail- roads in Boston. Asa Fisk is still confined to his bed at his residence on the corner of Hayes and Buchanan streets. His family state that his condition is not so serious as has been reported, although it is doubtful if he will ever be able to be about or attend to his business affairs again. His system is breaking down trom old age, accelerated by a recent attack of pneumonia. On the 26th of last June Mr. Fisk closed his office and went to his home. Since then he has not been out of the house over a dozen times. About six weeks ago he was aitacked by a chill, and immedi- ately after the physician said that pneu- monia had set set in. 1t was a hard strug- gle, but the old man’s vigor carried him through the attack, which left him very weak. The infirmities of age became more apparent, until now he is constantly con- fined to his ted. Nevertheless his mind is active as ever, and he gives directions as to his business affairs the same as when he was in better physical health. Mr. Fisk is well known in business cir- cles, out in his private affairs he has al- ways maintained a reserve ti.at but few of his intimate associates broke through. He was born at Holliston, Mass., on Christ- mas, 1518, He comes of un old New Eng- iand family. His early life was spent on afarm. At theage of 14 young Fisk left the farm and made his way to Boston and went to work in a grocery-store, where for a long time he earned $3 a week and boarded, lodged and clothed himself. This life did not hold out promises to the young man and he secured employ- ment in the lirm of David Kimball & Co., who dealt in tailors’ goods and supplies. It was then that Fisk first demonstrated that he was possessed of more than ordi- nary business ability. For the first few years his salary was only $100 a year, but this wa. gradually increased until he heid ceveral positions of trustand confidence. The death of one of the members of the firm presented an opportunity tbat the young man was not slow to take adyantage of, and soon after he had a half interest in the concern, which took the name of Kimbali & Fisk. 1In 1856 the death of Mr. Kimball left Mr. Fisk the sole proprietor of the busi- ness, but while after he took in a part- ner. While still engaged in that line Mr. Fisk branched out and built the East Boston and Suffolk - Raitroad. During these years he was a resident of the Mid- dlesex district, a suburb of Boston, and one term he represented the district in the Massachusetts Senate of 1859 and 1860. His close application to business af- fairs impaired his heal:h, and so, in 1863, Mr. Fisk came to California. He traveled extensively all over the State, combining business with pleasure. After an ab- sence of a year or two he returneda to Boston and eventually closed out his busi- ness in that city. The remembrance of California was always with bim, and in 1869 Mr. Fisk returned to this State, bring- ing with him about $75,000. Once again he took a subordinate posi- tion and traveled all over the State pur- chasing wool for the old irm of Ballard & Hall. It was about 1871 or 1872 that Mr. Fisk started into the business of a money broker, 8 business that he has followed ever since. His fortune now amounts to several bundred thousand dollars, but the exact amount is unknown even to his family. He still owns large holdings of real estate in the East as well asin this State. Early in life he married, and three children were the result of that union. His first wife died and he married azain in this State, and two more children were added to his family. One who is well acquainted with the old man stated chat while Asa Fisk has the Teputation of ariving a hard bargain ‘in money . matters, there are many good traits in his character. “Few ever heard that Asa ¥isk wasg given to acts ot charity,” the gentieman remarked, ‘‘yet to my positive knowledge he has helped many a poor fellow when be was sure that it was a worthy case, Upon these matiers he always maintained the strictest secrecy and he never forgave a person for teliing trat he had been belped by the hand of Asa Fisk. That was one of his pecaliarities. Another was that no matter how much he was. abused he was never known to have replied to any attacks made apon him, although many were most unjust. He ransacted his own business in his own way and no one was obliged to deal with him'ii he did not like his terms. But even if ali of the bardness of lieart attributed to Asa Fisk were a fact his goud acts will go a long way to count- eract them LAUGHED AND PRAYED. How Watch-Meeting Was Observed at _Howard Presbyterian Church. Watch night was kept right merrily at the Howard Presbyterian Church: Begin- ning at 9 o’clock an entertainment was given by young members of the church and of the Christian Endeavor Society. After that refreshments were served and then everybody joined in rolicking old- fashloned games, which served 1o speed the time untii the old year had staggered down to within fifteen minutes of the time fixed for his own death and the birth of the new year. Then the pastor; Rev. Mr. Farrand, called for quiet and the wateh and prayer meeting began and con- tinued through tbe 1mpréssive moments that saw the oid year spentand the new year ushered in. - % : Following was the entertainment of the early part of the evening: Trombone solo, Miss Maud Noble; voca! solo, Miss Hadenfeldt; recitation, Miss Currie} vocal solo, Miss Noble, violin obiigato, Mr. Noble; piano solo; Miss Ross; vocal solo, Miss Decker; piano soto, Mr. Urry; vocal duer, Miss Perkins and Miss Allen; reci- tation, Mr. Cranston.
