Sometimes they won, oftener they did not. Still this did not dull tbe appetite of this generous patron of the turf. In a great measure much of the success of Ingleside ean be attributed to the inde- fatigabie efforts of this hard-working, far- seeing sccretary, W. 8. Leake. Mr. Leake came from Sacramento a complete stranger to the turf, but in a short time mastered its many curves and intricacies and became a power. In fact, bad he continued in his unex- pected vocation he would undoubdtedly have acquired National reputation, for he splayed ability in turf affairs far above averaze. Through his far-seemg policy Ingleside was enabled to make OBJECTED TO EASTERN INNOVATIONS.

The greatest racing organization west of the city of Chicago is threatened with complete bankruptey, disruption, if, indeed, it bas not already been | accomplished. There was a meet- ing of the directors and leading| epirits of the Pacific Coast Jockey Ciub | held at the Palace Hotel yesterday, results of which came as a thunderbolt | from & clear sky to the local and visiting Eastern turf frequenters. i President A. B. Spreckels tendered his | resignation as president, the resignation | of Vice-President H. J. Crocker and Sec- | retary W. S. Leake will goin to-day and the resignations of Directors Androus and | Tarpey will shortiy follow. Thus disap- | pears from the California turf men who have raised the sport in this end of the | country to its present high level. Mr. Spreckels said last evening that his action in the matter was taken from the | fact that his club had tried to furnish the | pablic with the cleanest and best sport | that substantial purses and stakes could | afford, but that he objected to astern | innovations.” | Secretary Leake stated in an interview | that bis family connections had always | objected to his embarking in the raci business and that a more profitable bu ness offer compelled him to accept. President Spreckels will dispose of all of his stock in the Ingleside Association, | as well as his large racing stable, and ths familiar red, white and blue carried by Cad- | mud, Piquante, Pat Murphy and others | will be known no more. Mr. Leake also | said that his stock would go as the market | went. The Western turf has suffered an irre- trievable loss.

It was the first track to dispense with the poveriy- | breeding entrance fee that kept poor un- | fortunate platers munching on straw and | their owners walking about in rags.

The Judge several times objected to the irrevelant questions put by Woodworth, and once when Woodworth arzued the point the Judge tersely remarked, *It’s useiess to talk French to a turkey,” and shut off further discussion. M. T. Brewer then called as a wit- ness and he testitied asto Woodworth’s proposition regarding the sale of the mine and other points covered by Owen in his testimony. ‘While Brewer was being cross-exemined by Woodworth the Judge interrupted and adjourned ceurt, saying that he was sick of hearing so much irrelevant matter. “1 nave given you all the latitude I could,” said the Judge, “but there must be an end to it some time or this case will never be flnished.

THEODORE PAINTER LOSES. Judgment for $35,224 44 Entered Against Him by Judge Troutt. Judge Troutt of the Superior Court yes- terday handed down an opinion in the noted caseYof Painter against Painter, wherein the interests of the Painter Type Foundry business have been for so many years in litigation. The decree of the court gives judgment in favor of Caroline A. Painter and E. B. Dallam, executors of the last will of Jo- rome B. Painter, and against Theodore P. Painter for § 4 44 and for one-half of the real estate of the partnership. It was | ascertained by the court that Jerome B. Painter was not indebted to his firm at 1883. An imme- As is customary where relatives are ar- rayed against one another in litigation, the legal fight has been very bitter, ex- tending from the year 1883 to the present time.

Old Mission High School Con- tracts Rescinded and Others ¢ Adopted. Appointments to Evening School Posi- tions, One of Which Went to Madison Babcock. The Board of Education last evening had a very lively session. The matter of contracts for the Mission High School was | disposed of after a discussion in which | Director Derham questioned the legal right of the board to rescind the contracts | made by the preceding board. The action | recommmended by the Committee on Build- ings and Grounds wss taken. Director Head objected vigorously to the appoint- ments recommended by the Committee on Evening Schools, which meant, he ssid, the adding of six new teachers to the de- partment who were not on the substitute- list. One of theso is Madison Babcock. who had a position made for him at once at a salary of $100 per month. Director | Head also introduced a memorial to tae | Califernia delegation in Congress, which was adopted, and to which the signatures | of the president, secretary and all the | Directors will be appended. the memorial was as follow: To the Honorable California Delega- tion, Fifty-fifth Congress, Washington, | D.

Trusting that you, gentlemen, will attend to this as soon as convemient, we have the honor to remain, your obedient servants. i A report concerning the contracts for | the Mission High School was made by the Committee on Buildings snd Grounds. | The committee found ithat the contracts of the Rae Building and Contracting Company and Sweeney & Co.’s contract for plumbing were legal, but there were some contracts declared to be illegal, these being as follows: Hindes & Co. for inside blinds, W. Morgan & Co. for heating and ventilating apparatus. The committee also recommended that Peck, Williamson & Co.’s bid for heating and ventilating apparatns should be accepted. These recommendations were adopted in reso- lutions. When the report of the Committee on Buildings snd Grounds was reached Di- rector Head said that the proposition to rescind a contract entered into by the preceding board was a serious matter. 1t | was a matter, in his opinion, to be settled | by the courts. He was opposed to the recommendations of the report also, be- cause they would tie up the construction of | the Mission High School. The report was adopted, Director Head alone voting no. Director Derham spoke against award- ing the Peck-Williamson contract, as the committee recommended. Mr. Derbam said that the way to free the board from any possible suspicion of jobbery was to submit the matter to the courts. The resclution was adopted, only Directors Armer, Derham and Head voting no. A resolution was adopted substituting wooden laths for iron laths in the con- struction of the Mission High School, to bring the cost within the appropriation, A resolution was adopted providing for a committee on secondary education, not- withstanding the objection of Director Derham, chairman of the Committee on Classification. The committee will exer- cise general supervision, over the high schools, technical schools, commercial schools and classes of special instruction in the schools. 5 A resolution was also adopted, on mo- tion of Director Gallagher, authorizing the Committee on Rules to bring in any amendment to the rules that it may see fit. The Committee on Evening Schools sub- mitted a report recommending as follows: Tuat Madison Babcock be elected principal of the Frauklin Evening School and detaiied to act also as principal of the Mission and Richmond evening schools, the latter two s5cho0ls having no principas; also apoointing Miss Kate A. Humphrey to & position in thc Mission Evening School; John S. Drew to the position of T. H.

Stanford Accepts Berkeley's Challenge to an Intercollegiate Glee and Mandolin Club Contest. Berkeley has challenged Stanford to an | intercollegiate musical contest, the first event of its kind in this country, and Stan- ford has accepted the challenge. The contest will take place in this City, probably at the Baldwin Theater, on the evening of university day of the Golden Gate Carnival, May 7. The participants will be the big glee and mandolin clubs of both universities. The judges will be chosen from the recognized local authori- ties on music, and are to give the decision on the merits of the contesting clubs. Both musical bodies bave attained a | high standard, both are eminently repre- sentative of ihe universities under the names of which they have become known to a wide circle of admirers. Berkeley starts with a slight advantage in probably having anticipated the con- test before she issued the challeng . Stan- | ford’s musical clubs made an extended | tour of the Northwest during the Christ- | mas holidays, and got much valuable practice from actual performances before critical audiences, and since then have given a number of concerts in this part of | Berkeley’s Gilee and Mandolin | clubs, larger and better than ever before, made a tour of Southern California dur- ing the holidays. Both have some fine | individual talent, and a good deal of rivalry has long existed between them. The Stanford organization upon accept- ing the challenge immeaiately deciaed upon the following strict rule governing candidates for the musical ciubs that are to represent the cardinal: *“Every mem- ber missing a re:earsal without good ex- cuse will be dropped regardless of his ability. No excuse but for sickness or necessary absence from the university | will be accepted.” Stanford musicians who have been per- manently chosen are: McNeil, Abbott, | Sewal!, Bush, Schneider, Lanagan, Kauf- | man, Sutherland, Riley, Decker, Young, King, Kaathoven and McGuire. And these are accepted conditionaliy: Brun- ton, Claire, Strohn, Morgan, King, Frost, Macy, Ross, Morrow and Connick. gt OLD-TIME PUBLICATION. A Copy of the First Paper Printed on the Pacific Coast Is in the ¥ree Library. There is in the private office of George T. Clark, the librarian of the San Francisco Free Public Library, and which may be seen upon request, a rare publication. It is 8 copy of the first newspaper published on the Pacific Coast, and with 1t are other 1ssues of the same paper. It is the Oregon Spectator, the first num- ber of which appeared in Oregon City, Or. Ter., Thursday, Febroary 5, 1846. It was issued by the Oregon Printing Company, | J. Fleming, manager, and edited by W. G. T'Vault. The papers in the collection run from the date of the first issue to and in- cluding the 20th of January, 1843. These papers contain much of interest about the | early history of Oregon, and they were at | one time the property of the Rev. R. E. Parrish. The Oregon Spectator was issued several months before the first Calitornia publi- cation, which was the Californian, which first appeared at Monterey on the 15th of August, 1846. On the first page of the, Spectator is published the organic laws of the Territory and a remedy for the blues. Gn the editorial page the editor in double leaded type declares his principles and has a sub-editorial in which there is a call for a city corporation and the advice to the Mayor and Trustees to *dig up the stumps, grade the streets, tax dogs, pro- hibit hogs and advertise in the Spectator.” Among the advertisements is one that calls for the Masons in the district to attend a meeting for the purpose of mak- ing arrangements to apply for a charter. e e PROBATE REALTY SALE | Property of the Morrison Estate Under the Hammer.

Charges Made by the Scciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. They Are Characterized as False and Malicious and an Infamous Calumny. ‘I'ne remarks made by President Sonntag and Directors Gilbert Palache and P. B. Fiint, at the meeting on Tuesday of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, regarding the alleged difficulty experienced by the society in getting from many of the police courts even the co-op- eration specified by iaw, formed the subject for vizorous replies from Judges Conian | and Campbell yesterday morning. 1t was charged that warrants had been refused, that jury trials in Judge Camp- bell’s court were farcical, the jurors being bums around the police courts, and that the Judges and people around the courts got passes 10 the theaters. Judee Conlan, as soon as court was opened, referred to the charges and char- acterized them as false and malicieus. He said that if the remarks had been made in his presence outside his courtroom he would have characterized them in much stronger language. I have no acquaintance with Secretary Welch,” continued the Judge, “‘and want none. It is untrue that warrants haye been refused in my court, and those mak ing such a statement knew it to be fulse. _“The trouble with the officers of the so- ciety is that they want to dictate to the Judges how a case snali be disposed of, irrespective of law, justice or equity, and because they are denied that privilege they make a cowardly attack upon the Police Courts. What ibe society wants is not prosecution, but persecution. “The charge that Police Judges have ac- cepted iree passes to any theater is, as far another malicions talsehood. I have always given strict in- junctions to mv bailiff not to accept any passes of any kind, and when I attend any theater I pay my way like other parsons.’ Judge Campbell, aiter opening court, said: I think it is my duty to remark that I noticed in the morning papers—the Chronicle and THE CALL—an articie trom the Society for the Preyention of Cruelty to Children, and 1 was very much surprised indeed to see such an article, for the reason that accusations referring to Police Judges not doing their duty in regard to issuing warrants for the society to have persons arrested for cruelty to children have It has always been my cus- tom, and I believe every person that practices here will bear me out in the statemeut, to issue warrants. This court is particularly selected by the agents of that society to pro- cure warrants, aud I have never yet refused s warrant in those cases. I have now about twenty-five defendants on my list, who are paying from $2 50 to $5 & week for the support of their children. In regard (o their saying that there were a lot of bums—Police Court bums—on the jury of the Tivoli case, those gentlemen, I believe, are all merchants, reguiarly summoned by the Police Departm-nt—all doing_business in this City—and I think it is an infamous calumuy upon those gentlemen to call them FPolice Court bums, and also to me to say that I re- fused on any occasion to issue warrants for this soclety. 1issuea great number of war- rants, and have now at_this time a great num- ber of cases on my calendar that are carried over from week to week so as to make them support their children, which they have re- fused 10 do, and I force them to do it. I think they ought to be a littie better posted before they make public accusations aguinst Police Judges in the public prees. They certainly must be informed by some one. The officers of that society select this de- partment of the Police Court particularly for that purpose, and they evidently propose to threaten and buildoze Judges into doing things that they think they ought not to do. They make & mistake in this department with me. I can be led, but not driven, ' There are two different societies that have made this mistake now. The other is the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associstion. This is twice now that they have made these mistakes and published thein to to the world— that the couris were mnot doing their duty. They would better come here themselves and see how the casesare conducted and perhaps then they would be better satisfied. I know, however, that the officers of this society have all been' perfectly satisfied with my work in regard to the matter. Judges Joachimsen and Low have yet to be heard from NEW TO-DAY.
