He Is Ordered by tie Police to Cease His Espionage of Her. The Couple Have Separated and Mrs. Reed=r Says a Divorce Would B: Agreeabls. OAKLAND OFFicE SaN FraNcisco f‘ub.l, 908 Broadway, Feb. 22. Mrs. Reeder, who resides at the Henry House, told a peculiar story to-day. in which her husband and a friend of the family figured prominently. Several months ago Reeaer and his wife separated and Mrs. Reeder went to work atthe Henry Ho on Niuth street so that she could support her two children. Ever since she has besn there her husband has kept watch over her in a most un- pieasant manner and has had not the test excuse for so doing. Las: night the police were called to ths house to pro- tect the life of Christopher Miller. Mr. Miiler has long been a friend of the Reeders and M whenever Mr. Miller callsat the Henry House. Last evening Miiler was at the house, and as ke was about to leave he no- ticed Reeder patrolling about in front of 1ouse on the street. Fearing that bis were not altozether pleasant ller called up the police by telephone and when they arrived he reported the situation to them. The officers searched Reeder and found the had no weapons on him. They re sent the two men in diffsrent ons, but refused to make an arrest. *Ionly wish he would get a divorce,” said Mrs. Reeder to-day; “and if that 1s | ail he wants he can bave it s soon as possit le. ber, when my baby was only Six weeks old. | have been married to him for ten i and we have five chi.dren, and w he leit me my friends advised that I get a divorce, but I hated the notoriety d trouble. The baby and the oldest a girl, are with me, and the Chil- ’s Society forced him to support the ot atall pleasant to live in fear tragedy. 1 have been working Lere ce last October, and Mr. Muler has s been a friend of ours, Reeder's is an absurd one, and I wish he get a divorce and leave me alone.” . Miller a well-known business Reeder says she is sorry d’s actions have created as she fears it will turt JUHIOHS Wik THE TROPHY th> They Capture University Basebail Championship From |o the omatologists. ° | In Their Freshman Year the Class of ‘08 Won ths Trophy and Now They Have It Again. —By a score ior class at the State ity won the Class championship ver trophy for the vear 1897 from iental college teaw this alternoon on Berkeley diamond, thus adding another victory to its long list of suc- cesses. Ip their freshman year the juniors won the championship and cup. They lost it to the freshmen last year, and now they bave it again. | The day was clear and the diamond in perfect condition, thus rendering good field work and fast base-running possible. So evenly were the teams matched ana so close did the score run that it wasa toss- | up even at the beginning of the eighth in- | | ning as to who wonld finaily win cut. Up 1o thiat time it was anybody’s game, In the eighth the Juniors started their procession around the diamond and by ihe time the third man was out they had eight runs. When the Dentals came to the bat for the last half of the same in- ning they did not make a tally. The game was charscierized by the many base hits and errors, especialiy those of Finlay at third. H ag mace several bri:liant left field catches, and Foster and Kuster each made & fome run. Wheeler did well be- hind the bat, and desvite his loss through errors Finlay did some clever base-s.eal- ing. The Dentals seemed particularly un- fortunate in having men left on bases, When their side retired at the end they had three players on bases. From the following notes on the plays some idea as to the general run of the game may be rleaned: Base hits—Dentals 16, Juniors 8. Errors— Dentals 13, Junifors 14. Home runs—Foster tud Kuster. Two-base hit—Hoag. Three-base Struck out—By Jarvis 4, by “Waster 7. Passed balls—Foster 2. Bases on balls—Jarvis 6, Kuster 12. The players and their positions were as follow Denta's. Whecler Exempt Firemen’s Ball, OAKLAND, CAv., Feb. 22.—The Exempt Firemen gave a masquerade ball to-night at Germania Hall. Although the old fire Irddies were very much in evidence there was a large attendance of guesis of a younger generation, and daocing and merriment were continued till long after midnight. Many of the characters were striking and original, and the carnival was one of the most successful of its kind ever given in this city. A Young Patriot’s Accident. OAKLAND, Car., Feb. 22.—Will Har- ris, who resides on Madison street, was seriously burt this morning by being thrown from his horse.

OAKLAND, Car, Feb. 22—It is not probatle that anything definite will be done towara bringing the State Fair to Oakiand at this session of the Legislature. Several of the Alameda delegation were in | Qakland to-day, and they said that the scheme, while a good one, is bardly feas- ible at this time. Ata general meeting of the Board of Trade and Merchants’ Exchange held this afternoon Assemb.yman Leaviit discussed the matter with the Jirectors present. “This subject has been brought up very late in the session,” said Mr. Leavitt. “The time has not passed for the presen- tation of bills. The one providing for the | removal of the fair to Oakland was banded in Saturday, and it will be impossible to get it through’inside of five days for ac- tion by the House. Every member of our delegation is ready to push matters to the utmost, but it is almost impossible to suc- cessfuily hanale the measure at this late date. Rather than make a losing fight it would be better to let the matzer pass for the time being. Then, too, it 1s under- stood that Governor Budd 'is opposed to the removal of the fair, and even if we should secure the passage of the bill thers is every chance that the Governor would veto it.” Assemblyman Howard Wright expressed similar views to the directors, and it is probable that the bill may not be pushea at this session — LITTLE HARTLEY DIES. Another Chapter to the Foley Tragedy in Nevada. OAKLAND, Cawn, Feb. 22.—Attorney George W. Baker received a dispatch from Reno to-day announcing the death of the | infant chili of Mrs. E. C. Hartley, the artist, who shot Senator Foley in 1894, ‘T'he death of this child abruptly ends s most important probate case pending in the courts of Nevada. The case was to have been bitterly fought out during the next month, but to-day’s news practically ends it. The child in question was born after the conviction of Mrs. Hartley for murder in the second degree; and she produced an instrument in writing, in which the | Nevada Senstor recognized the child as bis own. Proceedings were commenced several months ago to recover one-half of tue Foley estate for the child, the other heirs being the widow, mother, sister and three brothers of the deceased. Attorney Baker represented the Eustern heirs, Harry Mayenoaum of San Francisco represented the child and various other counsel represented the otner interests. The case would . avé been tried in a few days, but now nothing more will probably be heard of it. ——————— BIMETALLISTS BANQUET. Enjoyable Occasion of a Feast of Hea- son and Flow of Soul.

RAISED THE FLAG AND NONE FORBADE No Further Trouble at the Eighth-Avenue Church. The Di‘ficulty With the Trustees Adjusted and the Boys Triumphant. Visiting Brigade Handsom:ly Enter- tained—Dr. Carroll Explains the Unique Ceremony. OAKLAND OFFicE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL} 908 Broadway, Feb. 22. The flag-raising by the Boys' Brigade at the Eighth-avenue Methodist Church this afternoon came off according to pro- gramme, notwithstanding the opposition of Trustee Watson, who forbade the plac- ing of the flagpole upon the church Satur- day aiternoon. The difficulty was adjusted yesterday, and there was no necessity ‘or the brigade to carry out its threat of using force to protect the workmen while placing the flagstaff in position this morning. In the auditorium of the church exer- cises were held, presided over by Dr. 8. J. Carroll and Colonel William de Wolf of the Becond Regiment. The aitar was decorated with flags, oue of which, a hand- some silken affair, with a gilded stand- ard, was presented to Company B, Sécond Regiment, two years ago, when the com- pany carried off the honors in a competi- tive drill in the Mechanics’ Pavilion. Miss Mabel Walker and Mrs. Minnie K. Henderson sang patriotic solos, after which Dr. Carroll delivered a short ad- dress. Among other things he said: “The hoisting of the flag over the church to-day is a startliing innovation to some and yet it is entirely proper io do so. A shori time ago there was not a ross upon the Methodist Episcopal church. It was the first 10 have one put upon the church and now mauy of the churches have fol- lowed our example, The flag-raising is another innovation. Surely if the stars and stripes are proper as a decoration upon our alfar it is suitable on the.ex- terior of our churches. The flag is raised over the part of the church which is de- voted to social meetings., Its presence is most appropriate and fitt ng from 1ts significauce as & symbol. The flag stands for a great ides, human liberty.” The flag-raising then took piace. Asthe firing squad, consisting of Sergeant Schnoor, Privates C. L'oyd, De Wolf and Evans, fired their valute the flag was raised, and as soon as it reached tue mast- head the *“Star-spangled Banner’’ was sung by all, being led by Sergeant Kemp- kev on his silver cornet. The visiting companies from San Fran- cisco and A'ameda were entertained st luncheon by the officers of Company D. The other companies who joined in_the ceremonies were Company } of the How- ard-street M. E. Church, San Francisco, and Compiny C of ths Congregational church, Alameda. NELLIE LONROY IS QUEEN Closing Day of the Great Inter- state Coursing Club's Meeting Myrtls: Won the Derby Stakes and Eelle Brandon Took the Mayor Phelan Priz» It has been the province of the Inter- state Coursing Club to put the bound and rabbit sport on a healthy footing in this City. Their annual meeting which began last Sunday at Ingleside Park, terminat- ing at sundown yesterday, brought to- ether - the better class of sportsmen and the finest breeds of hounds. The rabbits, strong and fleet after a fow weeks feeding in the corralsof the club's vast field, were able to give the houndsa run and make the races more exciting. This is the first time in the history of coursing here that men, women and chil- dren have crowded into a grand stand to the numberof over 2000 each day and viewed the races in comfort, and it may also be mentioned that never before have the judges’ decision been accepted without adverse criticism. John Grace, who held that exalted posi- tior, and his son, James F. Grace, the slipper, have registered themselves at this meeting as the most impartial and clever- est thut the coursing people have had to rely upon. The three stakes that were run off in the iwo days were: Th- all-aged dogs, forty in number, the prizes ranging from $300, $150 and $75 to $37 50. Tais stake was, vl course, (he ma.u one. The next was the derby with fourteen eniries, for puppies whelped on or after August 1, 1895. Finally came the saplings, jourteen entries, whelped on or after February 1, 896. The silver cup to the winner in the last class was presented by Hon. James D. Phelan, and the stake wiil henceforth be known by the name of Belle Brandon, yesterday’s winner, who is owned by Tom Hall oi Merced. She isa Johany Rex ous of Annie Laurie. However, Nellie Conroy is queen! Boe is tue monarch of the California coursing field, and as pretty a black-and- white hound as ever pursued a hare. Her winning of the John Grace challenge cup for all-nged dogs earned herthe title. She proved her right to it by defeating the pick of the best dogs in the kennels of tuis and adjoining States, and a half dozen of the crackerjacks b:ought here irom the East. She is irem importel stock, Royal Crest out of Daisy 11, but she was bred in Oali- fornia. Her owners, Messrs. Grace and Dean, are two of the leading coursing pa- trons in the State, and their win is a pop. ular one. In the all-aged sta foliows: the runs were as FIRST TIES.

Ferrier Disgrace ully Beaten by For- mal—Preston Outsprinted a Good ‘Field—Reddington Won. On New Year's day last it looked as though that portion of the inhabitants of this big City that were looking to kill time found their way out to Ingleside track, and if such really was the case the same big throng filed in through the turn- stiles of the local course yesterday, the birthday of the father of our country, only with all of their relatives from far. away added. The besutifal ther at- iracted the greatest crowd that has as yet been gathered within the confines of this magnificent racecours . Fromend to end the spacious grand stand was packed with beautiful women and their escorts. The elite of society graced the balconies of the clubhouse, and in the great betting ring such a crowd was never before gathered. It seemed as though every man in that busy crowd that knocked and hustied one another about had previously paid a visit to the Mint, quietly purloined a pocketful of shining twenties and then slunk away, fully determined that the fame of Riley Grannan as a plunger should be dimmed. On some or the races lhei were still trying to bet the bookmakers o the block as the gong announced that tue horses were off. Ten thousand woula be & conservative estimate of the number of people present. And the track! It was the wonderment and surprise of all. Where form players haa expected to find a heavy, muddy course, what was their consternation to find, instead, dry, dusty going that re- quired the services of the ugrinkung cart before the races were over. This confused followers of the dope, and another reca- pituiation of the past week’s racing was necessary. Of the afternoon’s sport nothing but praise can be said. The finishes were, Wwith one or two exceptions, close and ex- citing, and it looked as though all of the starters were trying. The big crowd was somewhat stariled when imp. Fuilerton Lass took the opening event at odds of 100 to 1, but thereafter matters wenta trifle easier. Of the six favorites sent to the post four were returned winners, and the crowd left for home well satistied with the day’s outing. The s‘eclll feature of the programme was 1ie White Seal stake, valued at $1300, for two-year-ola fiilies at four furlongs. Twelve buxom misses went to the post, with the Burns & Waterhouse pair, Na- pamax and Miss Rowena, first choices in the betting, while Free Lady, owned by Billy Magrave, was next in demand. The lutter was unfortunats enough to get left at the post. Among the entries was Tom Griffin’s Martha, a daughter of imp, Dandie Dinmoat, and reports of her fasi work caused the cdds against the filly 10 be speedily swiped from 30 down to4 tol. It was a wild plunge, though, for Napamax, quickly showing out in front of her field, won easing up from Queen Mab, carrying Louis Ezeli’s colors, showing her- self 1o be onm of the ‘very best two-year- olds yet uncovered here. The winner is a daughter of the dead sire Maxim from Napa, and this was her initial start. The muchly vaunted Rosor- monde was a :00d third. The sport opened with a great dump for | the crowd. Andy Blakely’s Snowdown was the supposeu good thing for the mile vurse, but afier leading uat.l within a turlong from the wire quit badly and imp. Fullerton Lass, a 6) to 1 shot, gettins through on the inside won in a wild drive from Tar and Tartar. another outsider. Scimitar, the ~econd choice, was ttird. The mile purse affair that followed far- nished another upset. Ferrier was backed to a standstill at odds oi 4 to 5, but ap- peared dead on his legs and was defeated Tuction alcs CHAS.

Auctioneer, 602 Mark. t Street. e i o e withont much effort by Gene Leigh's Formal, against which 7t0 1 was obtain- able. The mile was covered 1n 1:4114. Naranjs, the Baldwin entry, was third. " Salvable struck another soit spot and in the betting on the mile and s furlong seiling race was barred in most of the books. He made all the ranning and won under a gentle wrap from Camelia, the Corrigan entry. Marcel finished strong, taking the short end of the purse. Montalvo, which looked a moral for the mile and an eighth hurdie event, was scratched, which left it apparently as much of a ‘‘pie’’ for Reddington, the Corrigan jumper, which with his stable companion, The Bachelor, were hot 4 to 5 favorites in the betting,’ coupled. Red- diugton soon showed in advance of his company, and, although developing his usual tendency of bearing in toward the rail the last quarter, experienced no_diffi- culty in downing Mr. Reel at the finish. The latter was backed down from threes to9to 5. Herman ran a creditable race, ending up in third position. In the last run of the day, asix-furlong spin, there was quite a coliection of speedy ones gathered, among them Preston, George Miiler, Davia and Salisbury. In the betting Pat Dunne’s brown horse Preston was a pronounced 1 to 2 choice around post time, possibly from the effect of a ton of money bet by the wise ones. Willie Martin took all sorts of liberties with him the first part of it, and then, cutting loose In the stretch, led out George Miiler by half alength in the slow time of 1:17. The miserably ridden David was a close third. like new, Uak Sideboar Plc ures, Lace Curtaius, Notes. Tommy Griffin disposed of Nine Ninety- Nine to *“Frisco’” Lind yesterday for $300. Frisco recently lost Boreas out of a selling race. Scimitar was plainly the best horse in the opening event. Jones got him away last and if the distance had been further “Curly” Shields' horse would have car- ried away the coin. The running of the horses owned by Walter Hobart, but carrying the colors of H. H. Hunn, is causing much comment in racetrack circ! s. Ferrier was disgrace- fuily beaten some days ago at Oakiand by | David, ana yesterday his defeat by Formal should not have been passed by without explanation, especially as the stable for some reason did not *'go broke’’ on him. The Sinner aiso when at long odds could carry his gréat speed for s.x furlongs, but when the public got aboard he quit going a shorter distance. Of late Cash Sloan has been doing some | good work In the saddle, but the ride he at up on David in the last race will earn Eim no laurels. Sent to the front early in the game, David would certainly have won. Itseems strange that he could fin- ish no better than third, with the six fur- longs covered in 1:17.

H's Badge Taken Up and He Can No Longer Ride at Ingleside Track. Willie Sims, the crack colored rider, had the leg up on Snowdown in the opening race run at Ingleside track yesterday, and it probably marks his Jast appearance before a crowd of race-zoers at the local track, for he is now 1n diserace. Sims, who {s a very dressy sort of achap, well impressed with himself in public life, has only been here a couple of weeks, and during that time has piloted several winners, among them being Schiller, winner of the Thornt n stake. Yesterday he was up on Snowdown, the ‘good thing” for the opening race. The horse led until within a furlong from the wire, where some jostling oc- curred. - Charley Thorpe on Tar and Tartar here headed Snowdown, but was I turn_ beaten _out by the outsider, Fullerton Lass. In the weighing-room under the judges’ stand Sims was very wrathy, and ‘threa! ened to land all sorts of swings on the jaw of Thorpe, whom he accused of umping his mount. The colored lad was cautioned by Clerk ef the Scales Harry Kuhl that such an action would not be tolerated in the room, and Sims then threatened to show Mr. Kuh! some pointsin the art of self-defense. Upon hearing of the jockey’s insolent aciion Secretary W. S. Leake ordered his badgz to be taken up, and he will mot again be allowed to ride at Ingieside track. This action of Secretary Leake is worthy of comimendation and cannot but meet the approval of all racegoers. Jockeys spring up from stockingless s le-boys, rapidly develop & liking for “smalil bots™ and Afri- canese, strut about hotel corridors as an earl would in his castle, and the poorordi- nary mortal who can only ride in ordinary vehicles and streetcars worth but & $100,000 or so_ must kneel in homage before them, Public and horsemen alike are tired of these insipld fragments of bumanity whio know not their place, and the sooner they are brushed off the turf the bett ———————— SUMMARILY EXPELLED. Union League Club Resent Anything Like Extortion. OAKLAND, CaAr, Feb. 22.—There was a very important meeting held by the Union League Club to-night. For several days reports have been received stating that members were coilecting money from cane didates under false pretenses. A few days ago it was reported that a man named Georde McLaughlin had ob- tained money from A. C. Henry, the banker, and an independent candidate for Mayor. A committee was appointed to visit Mr. Henry, ana to-night they made their report. They found that Mc- Leughlin had visited Mr. Henry and had obtained $5 from him for hall rent. He bad tol: Henry that he was a member of the executive committes of the league and that there was need of hall rent. ‘When placed on trial by the league for not turning in the money McLaughlin stated that he had been paid_the money for ped- diing tickets for Mr. Henry, but this was denied by Henry, who stated that it had been paid for ball rent. McLaughlin is not a member of the executive committes and after a heated debute he was expelled from the league. His friends rallied to gi. support, but their help did not save im. il e Mrs. Chisholm’s Death. ALAMEDA, CAL., Feb. 22.—Mrs. Clara Alice Chisholm, oné of best-known resi- dents of this city, died at 10 o’clock this morning of gastric ulcer.
