Estaca, Rosebud, California and Sly were those left to contest for the $1000 hung up, ot | which $700 went to the success‘ul horse. Calitornia, with Sam Doggett up, opened up iavorite at oudsof 8 to 5, but stable coin seemed to hang fire and the mare re- ceded to 13 10 5 in tne ring.

Sly apreared utterly at sea and Califoruia secured show honors easily. The weather wus clear and cool and the atiendance fair. The track was very | heavy'from the recent rains and slow time | was the rule. The first four favorites sent | out were rocked to sieep in latest approved | raceirsck fashion and then two short- | priced choices scrambled home in the | lead. ba e'a quarter of ter many vicissitudes Basquil finally took a race.

A citizen reported to Lieutenant Bird- sall at the Central police station last night that three young men had stopped him on Larkin street and wanted him to buy some race—Ezell stable, Duke of Little Cripple, ! jewelry which he believed had been stolen. The lieutenant detailed Policemen Riehl, Harrigan and Murphy to find the three and bring them in. They came ecross them on Larkin street and the three fled. Harrigan had to fire two shots in the air before the one he was chasing surrendered, and Riebl had to chase his man three blocks belore he was overtaken. They were taken {o the Central station and searched. In their pockets were found & gold ring with an emerald in the center surrounaed by ten small diamonds, a pair Of gold shirt studs, a_silk .andKerchief marked “T” and a Knight of Pythias badge. Tney could not give any satisfactory ex- planaiion of bow they became possessed of the articles, and they were locked up in pending &n investigation by Detectives Egan and Silvey. They gave the names of James Nesbit, G. H. James- worth and Joe Curley. ————— AN ABANDONED BABE. Mrs. Clif Found It on Her Doorstep and Has Got Tired of It.

Resoiution to Create a Vacancy an Assistant Cl rkship of th2 Board Postponed. The Board of Supervisors will meetasa commitiee of the whole next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock to consider the fix- ing of water rates for the fiscal year. This was decided upon at a meeting of the Su- pervisors yesterday afterncon. At the same time it was decided to invite the president and secretary of the Spring Valley Water Company to be present to answer quesiions and, generally, to fur- nish the Supervisors with information. This came about on motion of Supervisor Clinton, chairman of the Committee on Water ana Water Supply. The committee submitted a long report, and incidenteily recommended that Cle- ment Bennett be elected the official stenographer. Supervisor Rivers, who constituted the minority of the commit- tee, moved that J. A. Holland be elected as the stenographer, and th.s motion pre- vailed. The Water Committee in its report re- counted what was done at its meeting last week, The proceediags hava previously been published. The committee averred that the annual report of the Spring Val- ley Water Company is vague and indefi- nite. A part of the report was as follow The City and County is called upon to allow fair and reasonable water rates to be paid by the City and County and its inhabitants, and ce: tainiy it should be informed, cleariy and convinclugly, of the details of the expendi- tures of the company in order to act as fair and just arbitraiors between the compauy and its customers. ‘The company owes it to itself and 1o its customers (o make such a staiement in detail of all its operations, and especially of 1.8 expenditures, in order to demonstrate its business policy and jus.ify the board in the esiabiishment of water rates as the board may deem just, thatare warranted by the condi- tious and requirements of their water supply. Your commit:ee feel that unjust criticism of the action of the board should be aveided in the matter of fixing rates, and until fnforme- tion is obtained more definite than presented nothing can be done o accomplish the ob- jects of the inguiry. A recommendation was also made by the comumittee that meters be attached to the Denman School, Horace Mann Gram- mar Scnool, Whittier Primary School and placed at Alta plaza, that the ac.ual amount of water used at these places might be determined. The report was adopted, and the accompanying reso.u- tion concerning the water meters was acted upon favorably. Supervisor C.nton read a letter, in which Charles Webb Howard, president of the Spring Valley Water Company, ex- pressed willingness to furnish the board with all information desired. A little flurry occurred over & resolution reported by the Judiciary Committee to expunge Gibson street, beiween Hyde and Larkin, Green and Union, from the official map. Mayor Phelan asked whether the Judiciary Committee had advised with the City and County Attorney about this mat- ter, and expressed the opinion that the City ought to be represented when such action was proposed. Supervisor Smith, chairman of the Ju diciary Committee, answered that the City and County Attorney had not been con- sulted. Only property-owners had testie fied. The board adopted the resolution to expunge Gibson street from the official map. A resolution was adopted permitting Supervisors Lachman_and Clinton to ex- chanwe places on the Judiciary and Street Light committees. A resolution to remove Charles E. Par- ent from his po:itioa as assistant clerk to the board caused som discussion. Su- pervisor Clinton objected to meddling with the clerks in the office of the board. Supervisor Dodge also spoke against the removal of Parent. The resolution pro- vided also for the appointment of J. J. Lynch to take his place. Chief Clerk Rus- sell was invited to say something about changes in the office, and he said the last board made no changes, and he thought that the preceding board left the clerks undisturbed. Supervisor Dodge said that the majority onght to have its appetite satisfied. It already gives signs ol indi- gesiion. A motion 1o postpone for two weeks was lost. Sapervisor Delany moved for postponement for one week, and it was £0 voted. ¢ Supervisor Sksehan moved that the office of janitor in the office of the Super- intendent of Btreets be declared vacant. M. Flaherty fills the position. It was proposed that H. M. Loresen should suc- ceed him, The resolution passed, but Supervisor Sheehan subsequently' said that be had been mistaken and he was permitted to withdraw the resolution. The Judiciary Committee reported in frvor of refunding money paid on dupli- cate assessments to H. Ickelheimer, John Nicholson, Mary T. Prince, D. Baigagli- otti and G. Camicia. The commi tee also reported adversely on the petition of Her- man de Laguna for the repeal of order 3035, granting a franchise to the Peopie’s Mutual Telephone Compsny; also upon the petition of Adolph Sutro to eliminate from the map portions of Fifth and Sixth avenues south from K street. The Committee on Finance recom- mended that the salary of Daniel E. Con- don as_superintendent of consiruction of the Hall of Jus ice be not paid until the work of consiruction is nctualiy com- menced. The report was adopted.’ Supervisor Britt filed his revort oi the progress of legislation upon bills in which Ban Francisco is concerned. Proposals to supply a laundry plant for tiie Almshouse were received and referred to the Hospital Committee, the bids being as follows: Troy Laundrv and Machine Company, $3125; P. F. Dundon, $3667; Joshua Hendy Machine Works, $4100; P. J. Monahan, $1650. e AL LT STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Summary of the Week's Work Acted On by the Board.

The purpose of inviting San Francisco to take part in the general Lorticultural exhibition at Hamburg, Germany, daring the present year becomes clear in view of the statement that “in orler to bring out and give a clear idea of its h rticultural character it is proposed to exhibit plans, models, etc., of the most noted Siate and city parks, public gardens, promenades, greeneries and pleasure grounds.”’ Tnis statement is included in the official invitation which has been received by the Board of Supervisors. It is practically an invitation to exbibit & model or map of Golden Gate Park as illustrative of the beauties of San Francisco. *For the above mentioned objects,” so the invita- tion reads, *it is the intention to erecta distinct and special pavilion, for which a place is prospectively reserved. The plac- ing of objects for exhibition in this pavilion is to be done uniquely, at the committee’s own cost, who wiil also attend to keeping clean and guarding the exhibits free of expense.” Andreas Mayer, chief engineer of the city of Hamburg, writes: *‘As a member of the committee, as well as of the di- rectory of the technical sub-committee, 1 have taken it upon myself to invite the ad- ministration of large cities who have spe- cially valuable public parks, gardens, lawns and pleasure grounds under their control and management, to participate in this proposed collective exhibition. I devote myself 1o this und rtaking with special zeal for the rea<on that in my offi cial position I have charge cf the large public parks and gardens of this muniei- pality, and am convinced of the great im: portance of jointly bringing out this exhi- bition and through it a possible exchange of views and comparisons of the eff ct of different local and climatic conditions on the horticultural management of public parks and gardens in ihe larger cities.” The suggestion is also thrown out that Goden Gate Park may be represented by a large model or map. The exhibition will be held in the heart of the city of Hamburg, in a bandsomely improved para embracing an area of fifty-tive acres. The buildings will be around the sides of the park. In one of the buildings will be & rosarium, a rose exhibition taking up alone a space equivalent to the area ofa whole city block, according to the scale of measurements laid down upon a map vhich accompanied the official invitation, 1he exhibition is in the hands of a com- mittee of which the Mayor of Hamburg is the chairman. The invitation, which_is in German, has been tramslated by Dr. Salfield for the convenience and cousider- ation of the Board of Supervisors. The expen-e attendant upon an exhibition of the veculiarities of Golden Gate Park would probably be confined to the cost of making and shippins a large model. THE DIMOND TRUST. Horace G.

The body of a man supposed to be that of Domenico Arbini was picked up in the bay off Goat Island by a boatman yester- day morning. The body had evidently been in the water for some time, as the features were unrecognizable. Papers in the pockets of his clothes, whieh appeared to be those of an Italian fisherman, showed that he had sent considerable sums of money to Italy during the past few years. An envelope addressed to Domenico Arbini containin - a letter signed “*Muada- lena Arbini” was also found. The body was placed in the Morgne and an inquest held, the verdict of the jury being ‘‘Cause unknown.”” e ALE-drinkers, as a class, are very slow to change the brand around which their affec- 1104 centers, and can be only won by addi- tionel virtues such as Evans' India pale ale and brown stout possess.

Fitziimmons and Corbett Will Have Four We ks to Train for the Champienship. According to a dispatch which was re- ceived yesterday Quinn, the backer of Peter Makher, is anxious to learn if Tom Sharkey would fight Maher to a finish in Carson on March 17. Danny Lynch, the backer and manager of Sharkey, said last evening that his protege is residing at Vailejo and has heard nothing substantial relative to & purse for a fight between himself and Maner—that is, so far as the | Nevada stake is concerned. *‘I have in my pocket,”” said Lynch, “a letter from the president of a New York athletic club. The writer states that if Skarkey will meet Maher in a contest of ten rounds the club will hang up a purse 0f §7500. If everything goes well Sharkey may accept this offer, but we intend to go | | | i | | | and siow and sure. Now, so far as a finish fight with Maher in Nevada is concerned, we have heard nothing excepting news- paper talk. I consider that Sharkey is as big a drawing card as either Fitzsimmons or Corbett, yet I am wiliing to match Tom against Maber in a contest to a finish if Stuart will haae up a purse of $10.000; but as there is only a limited time for either Maher or Sharkey to train properly for a finish fizht, which must be pulled off in Nevada on the 17th of March, I have reason to believe that the men will not meet in the Sagebrush State. ‘1 had a talk with Wheelock, who is one of Stuart’s managers, when he was in this City, and I then gave him to under- stand that if Stuart was looking for a sec- attraction and had Maher and Sharkey in his mind’s eye he must bu: up $10,000 or there wowd not bea ight. ‘Wheelock thought that the amount of the purse I demanded was too much, but when 1 arded hima telegram wuich I bad received from a prominent Eastern sporting man concerning an offer made by one of the biz Eastern clubs for a ten ‘, or fifteen round contest between Maher |and said that he would w: | _“Corbett and Fitzsimmons | Siler by mutual consent. and Sharkey be soon changed his mind, te 10 Stuart and explain the situation. I have heard nothing since from Wheelock or Stuart, and I presume that their silence means that there will not be a meeting between Peter and Tom in Nevada. if a match were made I would not hesitate a moment to back Sharkey in any sum from $1000 to $5000 a side, but Mr. Siler would not be the referee. selected Dan Stuart would have to select the referee if Maher and Sharkey fought, and any man whom Stuart would elect to referee the game would be perfectly satisfactory to me.”’ Harry Corbett left this Cily yesterday for Carson, where he will meet his brother Jim. They are expected in this City on Thursday. After Jim has had a few days with his relatives he will lesve for his | training station in the mountains. Billy Delaney will be his principal trainer. Very few bets have been made in this City on the result, and it can be safely seid that (he sporting people who gamble on contests pugilistic will not wager any large sums of money until lhfly have had an opportunity of “sizing up” the champion, who, according to iatest reports irom the East, is back to his old form and feeling as frisky as a two year- old colt. But there are many of tne sage old boys who cont that if Corbett can recuperate as speedily as his friends in the East report he must be a really wonderfal man. An old trairer of prize-fighters and one who has witnessed many hard-fought battles said last night that to bis knowl- edge this will be the first time that two prize-fighters concluded that four weeks of training would be amply sufficient to place them in the best possible condition to enter a ring and to contest to a finish for & championship. Fitzsimmons is evidently in good fettle now, and if Corbett is in as good form as his friends say, four weeks of careful train- ing should land him within the roped square in a condition that will be satisfac- tory to his friends and tbe betting public.
