- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1897. MUDLARKS NOW 1§ BIG DEMAND Three First Choices Se- cured Brackets at Emeryville. Monitor Was First in the Open- ing Eveat at Odds of 10 to 1 Frank Jaubert at Last Babe Murphy Outfooted Her Field the Last Furlong. ' The racing at Emeryville yesterday was icterspersed with magnificent rainbows, streaks of sunshine now and then, showers of rain at intervals compelling the crowd 10 keep under cover and one or two edify- ing dumps that helped deplete the ex- chequer of the talent. Yet with all the special entries, big fields and a track that was a sea of mud, bettors more than heid their own. Three first choices were success- ful, and the winners of events were Lot overlooked by the obsery- ant eye of the “dope’’ player. The attend- anco was only fair and the racing was de- | void of any special incident. Fourteen *'dogs” started in the opening five and a half furlong scramble, and good odds were obtainable against all. At post 1ime Edgemount bad been played down from fours to 5 to 2 favoritism. Bourbon and Iron Jacket were in frontasthe stretch was reacbed, but both soon had enough, and Monitor ridden by Gus Wilson, tak- ing tho lead won handily from Play Boy, 210 to 1shot. Asgood as 10 to 1 was laid sgainst the winner. 5 Twelve two-year-olds faced the barrier in the three and a half furlong dash that followed. Sir William was a pronounced favorite, and taking command in the streich aowned On Gua Nita at the end without effort. Moringa was a fair third. Frank Jaubert was finally cut loose and made a runaway race of the third event, beating the 7 to 5 favorite, Rienzi, fully ten lengths. The ring at one time laid 12 to 1 against Alex Shields’ fast horse. Three Forks, the second choice, was third. Always with a weather eye turned toward muddy eoing, Louis Ezeil’s mare, Babe Murphy, was right in Ler element and captured the mile and a sixteenth | selling purse_very cieverly, starting a 7 to | 5 favorite. Chartreuse, the second choice, followed by Ike L, made the runnibg to the far turn, where Ike fell back and Red Glenn ran into second position. Chart- reuse managed to bold the lead until opposite the paddock, where she was passed by both ihe fauvorite and the out- sider St. Aignon, Ezell's mare winning cleverly by nearly a .ength in 1:543{ A. B. Spreckels’ sprinter, Pat Murphy, | unlike his brother Tim, seems to revel in mud. He was a 2to 1 favorite for the fifth event, s five and a balf furlong sprint, and succeeded in dowmng Frank Phillips’ good mudlark Shield Bearer quite | handily. The latter looked a winner oppo- te the puadock, but Pat finished strong on the outside. passing the wire nearly a ngth to the good. Mainstay was a close third.

The Chamber of Commerce of San Fran- cisco is working actively 1o secure a rep- resentative in Congress for Alaska. The matter was brought to the attention of the chamber by L. G. Kaufman, a representa- tive business man of Alaska. The gentle- man came to this City for that purpose alone. The following petition signed by the president, Hugh Craig, and the trustees was yesterday forwarded to the Eenate and House of Repre<en:atives: The Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco respectiully cells your atiention to the nec sity for the representation of the District of Alaska in the House of Representatives. Iis rapidiy incressing importance, i isolation and distance from the seat of our General Governmentand the anomaly of its Federal control by & power thousands oi miies distant which accords it no voice in the protection of its interests, appear valid reasous {or your ac- quiescence in this reasonabic request. We consequently pray that you will lake the proper steps 10 admit one represeniative from our greatest territory to the Fifty-fifth Congress. ist { fiancee whispered the interesting news she was overwheimed with congratulations, In the evening Lieutenant Bent gave a inner at the Presidio and imparted to his guests the same interesting announce- ment.

Secretary Perry Issues a Circu- lar Author'zing Sub- scriptions. A List of Cities That Have Subscribed the Largest £m-unts of Grain Thaus Far. The committee in charge of the Indian famine relief fund is meeting with very encouraging success in all the Western States, and corn is already on the way from lows and Nebraska consigned to George W. McNear's warehouses at Port Costa, whence it will be shipped directly to Indiu. The telegraph companies have gener- ously responded to the call of the commit- tee, and are sending dozens of messages every day free of cuarge. In addition to the offer of the Southern Pacific Company to transpori 1000 tons of corn from Iowa, Nebraska and adjoining States to this coast free of charge, a tele- gram was received yesterday from the Union Pacific Company stating that it would naul 500 tons free to Ogden from any point west of Omaha, provided the grain was shipped at stations on Union Pacific lines. "All offerings from this State north of Mojave wiil a'so be handled free. The commission wisely began the work of raising subscriptions in the great grain Staies before soliciting from California, buc now that tne tide has set in from that region the campaign has opened vigor- ously in this State and yes.erday tele- graphic messages were sent flying ail over the coast, urging co-operation and prompt action in order that the contributions from this and neighboring States may be all in by the time the grain from east of the Rockies reaches uidewater. The in- tention is to ship all together. As soon as the cargo can be prepared for shipment the Government will huve the vessel ready,and then over the broad Pucific wiii go the food o keep life and strength in the breasts of the starving and plague-stricken in. abitants of the Orient.

Wednesday Some Little 1ots Wao Do “Turns” at the Califcrnia—Next Week’s Louis James played‘Othel'o”at the Bald- win Theater Wednesday night for the first time during his present engagement. The performance was very prettily staged, the opening scene, representing the Grand canal at Venice, being a piece of coloring that almost recalled Turner's Venetian pictures. The tragedian’s intarpretation of Othello is familiar to San Francisco audiences, and last mght he played the role of the Moor with his usual thorough effective- neas; there were moments, however, when James showed a tendency to drop his voice overmuch for a theater the size of the Baldwin. Louis James was very enthusiastically received in “*Hamlet” at the Baldwin Theater last nizht. At the end of the “Player Scene” the curtain was raised again and again, and James was fnally obliged to appear alone after the drop- curtain had falen. The actor’s interpretation of Hamlet showed littie perceptibie difference from last year. His characterization 1s carefu! and artistic, and partly owing to the fact that it is not too deeply tinged with gloom it interests the audience to a noticeable degree. William Sprague’s Polonius was the best piece of work in the star’s support. The local actor was the fussy, verbose, meddle- some old statesman to the life and did | much to atone for some inequalities in the | performances of a few of the minor num- bers of the cast. “Our Little Cinderella” at the California Theater is improving nightly, as the children, who plas ali the paris, are gaining in courage with each performauce. Considering the tender age of a great many of the littie people and ti: sleepy condition which is normally theirs a1 the hour when they are scting their perform. ance is really 8 remarkable one. Almost 10 8 child they are letier-perfect, and most of them act their parts and do their turns in a way that is charming to every one interested in children. Jimmy Horn, the youthful actor who dis. tinguishes himself most, shows signs of bein g an incipient Ferrls Hartm: There are others, however. Gus Levick, who does fof look s if he iad much more then rounded ti first decade of life, gives « very spirited rem. dering of the role of Cinderell's father. Nipg Cook makes quite u character study of the ro| e of the Prince's valet, nia Jennie Sawyer mo Flossie Sawyer are clever litile impersona s of the hauznty sisters. Rosina D'Enper dances prettiiy as Clnderells, but both she sad Alice Condon, who piays the Prince, are o CASTORIA For Infants and Children, g > Py - i LA e, good deal bigger than most of the children. Baby Ruth Howland is the alles: o and she does a clever little s “turn.” i} it would improve the performance if the fairy fountain scene at tie opening of the play |, coud be curtailed, for the serious little fairies are the least enlivening part of the bil! “Our Littie Cinderelia” will run till Tuesday | next.
