About one-third of the Lorses sent to the post are short, and after showing a sample of their speed during the early stages of the running, “blow up” and fall back beaten. Ihisis not solely the fault of trainers, for during the recent rainy spell they were unable to work their horses over the course across the bay. Consequently when that track reopened the horses stabled there during the Ingle- side meeting were unfit for any sort of a punishing race. The roads in the vicinity of the track are also unfit to train horses on. The attendance was good yesterday, and, as but two of the favorites won, the ring had another profitable day. Dr. G. went to the post a 6 to 5 favorite for the opening event over a mile, and after a very poor ride at Slaughter’s hands finished second to Coda, a 510 1 chance. The hardest dump of the day was made on the two-year-ola scramble, both Morana, the 9 to 10 favorite, and Jim Brownell, the 5 to 2second choice, ending up in the rear division, after displaying & Jamentable lack of speed.

RUSSELL AL BROKEN P | Supervisors Surprised the Clerk of the Board on His Birthday. Complimentary Preamb’e and Reso- lutions Followed Up by a Presentation. John A. Rusself, clerk of the Board of Supervisors, yesterday celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday. By accident the Su- pervisors who constitute the Committee on Streets heard of the fact and prepared to give him a pleasant surprise in the shape of a gift and some resolutions, the latter being the handiwork of Jack Bon- net, who gladly co-operated with the com- | mittee. The work of the Street Commit- tee was really done, when a queer-looking document came to Clerk Russell to read. Mr. Russell puzzled over it, and after a | Little found out that it referred to him. Then Chairman Devany of the Street Committee came to the rescue and read the following: ‘WHEREAS, Father Time having vouchsafed the veteran clerk of the Board of Supervisors of this City and County the attainment of b fith birthday without the loss of an: thing more serfous than the capillary adorn- ment of his venerable head, the members of | the Street Committee feel that they should at | this time felicitate themselves upon their zood fortune in having & man of such genial nature, patient and painstaking disposition, sterling integrity and exceptional fitness for the duties of his important office to assist and | guide them in the performauce of their official Jabors; and, whereas, it is the desire ot the members of this committee that John A. Russell should continue to assist in their | deliberatious for an indefinite period or, at least, until ail the streets on tne official map have been accepted, and the proposed sewer system south of the park completed and the Bastle Monntain cantroyersy settied, there- ore Resolved, That the tenure of office of the present clerk of the Board of Supervisors be and the same is hereby extended indefinitely, and Father Time is hereby requested to take | notice; and be 1t further Fesolved, That the members of the Street Committes join in the bestowal upon their worthy clerk of 8 small token ot their esteem, hoping that it will enable hiw in future years to recall with some degree of pleasuré the sixty-fifth anniversary of nis birth, which was reached after & quarter of a century of faith- ful service in the interest of the public. This was followed up with the presenta- | tion of a gold matchbox. Mr. Russell answered as best he could, but there was an appearance of moisture just under his eye-glasses and he was really “all broken up.” But what he said brought out a round of applause.

A Sky-Scraping Edifice That Will Be a Credit to This City. To Be Built on the Oid Site of the St. Mark’s Church, Facing Union Sqaare. C. J. Behlow, vice-president of the H. Liebes Company, contemplates the erec- tion of another-‘sky-scraper’ building, on the site of the old St. Mark’s German Lutheran Church on Geary street, near Powell. The location faces Union square and is almost opposite the building of the Pacific Union Club. The only hiteh in the immediate con- Lieutenant-Coionel Hansen, surgeon on Brigadier-General Warfield’s staff, pre- sided, and Major Tilden placed Licuten- ant-Colonel Duboce in nomination and briefly alluded to his favorable record in the cuard. The nomination was seconded by Major Sime. ] 7 Then the opposition sprung its surprise. Captain O’Neil nominated James F. Smith, judge advocate on the staff of the division commander—Major-General James—and the nomination was seconded by Captain Warren. A vote was then taken, and of the 38 votes cast Smith received 21 and Duboce 17. The first named was declared elected colonel cf the F.rst, and Major Sime, Cap- tain O’Neil and Captain Filmer were named a committee to notify him. - After the vote was announced Major Tiiden moved to make the election unani- mous and the motion was seconded by Lieutenant-Colonel Duboce. The motion was carried. : The new colonel entered the guard as a vrivate of Company ¥, Third Iniantry, in 1883. He then rose to be lieuienant, then captain, after that major and lieutenant- colonel of the regiment, and on July 25, 169% he was appointed on the division siaff, The matter of wonderment last night was alter the ycte was announced who the four were that went over from Duboce to Smith., ————————— SMALLPOX OR CHIOKEN-POX. The Case of William Pearaon at the Twenty-Sixth Street Hospital. William Pearson, 16 years old, supposed to be suffering from chicken-pox, was re- moved to the Twenty-sixth Street Ho vital from 869 Market street on March 9. The physicians having charge of the case, Dr. Hirschfeider, superintendent, Dr. W liamson and Dr. Dudley, fear that the patient is really a victim of smallpox, and oo === | I SN — e TO ADORN "GEARY STREET.

Liebes & Co., furrier: fark’s German Evangeltical Lutheran Church on Geary street, site of the old St. The edifice will occupy the between Powell and Stockton, facing Union square. struction of the edifice is Mr. Behlow's hesitation in choosing from the designs and plans submitted by numberless archi- tects the one that pleases him most. No limit has been place! on the zost, providing the structure is modern in its conveniences and handsome it its appear- ance. In Mr. Behlow's undecided state of mind as to choice he is inclined to leave judgment in the hands of his prospective tenants, among whom is the San Fran- i Press Club. organization are decidedly critical, and when they arrive at a conclusion it is quite likely that the finest building in the City will be started on its way to the skies. At the present time, subject to recon- sideration, however, the design presented by M. J. Lyon, the architect, seems to h'ave the preference. It represents an eight-story fireproof structure, 130 feet high, 8714 feet frontage and 13734 feet deep. Tne lower floors front are to be faced with polished granite and the balance of the building wiil be of terra-cotia and buff brick. The entrance proper leading to the ele- vators and stairways are to be of onyx ana bronze. On either side of the main entrance will be a thirty-eight foot archway for store purposes. Three stories above these arches will be usea for offices, with nine windows facing the square. Two stories will be devoted to apart- ments, each comprising a bedroom, a par- lor, bath, lobby and hallway. These apartments are to be so arranged that any number of them, from two to twelve, may be thrown into one vast apartment if so required. ‘The crowning piece of the etructure is the eighth story the Press Club contem- plates occupying. The Geary-street frontage is to be taken up entirely by the griliroom on the east- erly corner, the smoking-room in the cen- ter of the building and a lounging-room on the westerly corner. Back of the grill- room are to be the bar, pantry, three card- rooms and finally the immense jinksroom, | above which ‘will tower a grand glass dome. On the other side, back of the lonnging- room, are to be the directors’ meeting- rooms and a cloakroom, from which a stairway will reach the dome and roof, where it is proposed to have a garden. Almost opposite the exits irom the {wo elevators a vast New England chimney- place will furnish place for immense flam- ing logs, disseminating warmth even to that part of the building where callers are to wait after sending in their cards to members. The entire building will be illuminated by electricity. COLONEL OF THE FIRST. Election of James K. Smith to Suc- ceed Colonel William Macdonald, Who Kesigned. The election for colonel of the First Regiment Infantry, Second Brigade, N. G. C., was held in the regimental armory last night, and the result was a surprise to many. Ever since the resignation of William Macdonald as colonel of the First the im- pression prevailed that Lieutenant-Colonel Victor D. Duboce would be elected to fill the vacancy, and the only one mentioned in obposition to him was Major Huber, re- tired, and that was the condition of affairs until 8 o'clock last night, when the offi- cors who were favorable to Major Huber heid acaucus and found that they were short four votes to secure his election. Tuen they decided to place another name before the board of officers. When the meeting was called to order The members of that | though the symptoms were not sufficiently advanced yesterday to make a conclusive aiagnosis possible they thought it advisa- ble to have the patient conveyed to the smallpox hospital, where he now lies.

There 1s a desire on the part of the excc- utive committee of the Burns monument to co-operate with the games commiti.ee of the Caledonian Club, which body will hold weekly meetings, commencing next we k, to make suitable arrangements for the annual picnic, which will be held on Saturday, May 29, Tue name oi Colorel William Mac- Donald was presented by President Colin M. Boyd and accepted. A letier of ac- ceptance was received from Robert Dick- son. Chief D. R. MeNeill of the Caledonian Club stated that the picnic of his club this year wouid surpass anything hereto- fore ‘attempted, as each and every mem- ber would resolve himself into a commit- tee of one to make the affair a decided success. He had received a communica- tionjirom Thomas McKay of Dalry, Scot- land, the champion hammer-thrower of the country, notifying him that he (Mc Kay) would cross the Ailaniic and the continent to dispute honors with Thomas D. Carroll, the world’s champion hammer- thrower, of the Caledonian Club oi this City. This, with other athletic sports of which the Scoich people were the world’s leaders, would be introduced at the com- ing festival. First Chiefrain John Reid stated that he had in contemplation the giving of a mammoth barbecue on the 29th of May. The stock which it was proposed to slaugh- ter for this festival was now being put on full diet. Several offers had been recieved ifrom prominent business houses donating presents and prizes for the day. George Davidson, real estate agent, spoke in a most encouraging manner over the prospects of rea.izing a handsome sum irom the picnic. Chairman C. M. Boyd fully coincided with those views and stated that every mail brought words of encouragement and offers of assistance, both from men of means and men of talent. All were willing and ready to do what lay_in their power to assist the committee. With such as-urance at this stage of the proceedings, he saw no reason to doubt that the under- taking would be a grand success and one that every Scoichman and every lover of poetry would be proud to look upon. The comnitiee meetings in the future will be at the call of the chair. ———————— & Ships built of steel are said to be able to C;rry 20 per cent more frzight than those of iron.

Able Arguments of Counsel for the D fferent Defendants and for the Prcsecution. The first legal gun in the pure food cru- sade was fired in Judge Campbell's court yesterday afternoon. There was an in- terested crowd in the courtroom, and the arguments of counsel were listened to with deep attention. The defendants were represented by able counsel, J. W. Dorsey appeared on behalf of Chris Nuhrenberg, ex-Judge A. A. Sanderson for J. Barclay Emith, Wal 5. Tuska for J. Levi, W. M. Sanderson for A. Quade, and D. J. Donovan for William Cline. Assistant District Attorney Joseph J. Dunne appeared as special prosecutor. Or behalf of William Cline, who was charged with selling an imitation of rasp- berry syrup, Attorney Donovan pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury. The cate was set for trial Monday after- noon. Then came the legal fight. Attorney Dorsey filed a demurrer to the complaint against Chris Nubrenberg, who was charged with selling a brand of condensed milk containing a mixture of glucose, and having one-third of butter-fat extracted from it. 1t was alleged that the complaint was defective on various grounds. There was no allegation as 1o whether the one-third removed or the two-thirds remaining was mixed with glucose or that the article was injurious to health, It could not be an offense if it was notinjurious to bealth There was no allegatjon that it was of- fered for sale with/the intent to commit an offense nor that it was offered for sale as food, which was most essential. After speaking at length on the various points, Attorney Dorsey said that if there was a conviction the case would be ap- pealed to the higher courts. Ex-Judge Sanderson filed three demur- rers on behalf of J. Barclay Smith, who was charged with selling two different brands of condensed milk not having the neces-ary fut and with selling honey mixed with cane-sugar syrup. Hegarding the milk, he contended that there was no siandard laid down in the aduiterated food act, and therefora there could be no violation' of the law. In regard to the honey, who mixed it with sugar-cane syrup? It was probably the bees them- selves, Attorney Wal J. Tuska followed with a demurrer on beialf of J. Levi, a whole- sale merchant, who was charged with sell- ing adulterated food 1n the shape of potted meats. He took the ground that as the cuns came to the wholesaler hermetically sealed, and he could not therefore know- ingly be aware of the condition of the contents, he could not be charged with violating the Jaw. The law provided that a sample shouid be submitted for analyss, but this bad not been done. He ingeni ously argued that different people had | different tastes in regard (o meat, some preferring the fresh and others when it was “gamey,” and who couid say what was and whut was not tainted meat. | "Avtorney M. W. Sanderson submitted a demurrer on behalf of A. Quade, charged with selling evaporated cream which dia not contain the necessary ingredients. He argued on similar lines to the others. Assistant District. Attorney Dunne re- piied to the arguments of tne attorneys Jor the defendants. He pointed out that in different States there were laws similar in character to theone here governing the sale of sduiterated food and the courts | had laid down the law applicable to such | cases. In his opinion there were onlv two facts to be proved—was there a sale? ana did they sell articles that were adul- terated? Unless the defendants could show that there was no sale and t.at if there was a sale that the articles were not adulterated there must be a conviction. In the case of food there were seven of- fenses laid down, as follows: Jirst, mix- ture, something mixed with an article originally pure; second, substitution; where ar. inferior or cneaper substance is substituted; third, abstraction, where a valuabie or necessary constituent, wholly or in part, is abstracted; fourth, if an | imitation of another articie is sold in the | name of another; fifth, where an article is sold which comes Irom a source that is putrid; sixth, if an article is coated, pol- ished, colored or powdered whereby it is made to appear better than it really i seventh, if an article of food contains any ingredient which health. He would take the broad ground that knowledge or lack of knowledge on the part of the vender was a wholiy false quantity and cut no figure in the case be- cause tie vender was bound at his peril to know that the ariicles he offers for sale are not adulterated. He would even go further and contend that if the vender was ab-olutely innocent he must be con- victed because criminal intent was a false quantity. Two defenses could only be offered, either that they did not sell or that the food was not adulterated. Referring to the demurrers, he said that the most valuable point raised was that the complaint did not allege ‘‘being sold esarticles of food.” Repiving to that, he cited a decision in the Ohio courts that the complaint need not allege that the article was sold as human food. Afier further argument the Judge sug- pested that new complaints should be drawn out that would be satisfactory to the defense, but neither side was willing to agree to the proposition and the Judge said he would give his decision on the de- murrers on Monday before the jury trial in Cline’s case was commenced. All the other cases were continued till Monday.

Known Ball - $mashers To-Day Next to Phil Casey the greatest hand- ball-player of the world is ex-Alderman James Dunne of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Dunne is now over 65 years of age and does not look to bs 50 years, so well is the athlete preserved. Itis unot more than a few months ago when Dunne and Casey defeated the two champions of Chi- cago in best seven out of eleven games of 21 aces. It was a contest of two old men against two young men, and the old ones csme out victorious. The consideration was $1000 a side and the double-handed championship of the worid. Mr. Dunne arrived yesterday from New York and wiil leave this City on Monday evening for Carson in the company of Al Smith, the stakeholder of the big figat, and Colonel John Hopking, the well- known manager of theatrical Shows. Yesterday Phil Ryan of the San Fran- cisco handball court received a visit from Mr. Dunne, who played one game of ball, using the spheres he brought with him from New York. The Eastern handballs made by Phil Casey are smaller and more springy than the bulls used by the players of this coast. Mr. Dunne agreed to play a match game | this afternoon, as a iarge number of the lovers of handball are very anxious to see him perform. 7T'he games arranged are the best three out of five, between Dunne and Bonnet against Nealon and Leniban. The contests will take piace ih1s afterndon at the San Francisco ball court, and, as this may be the last opportuniiy the de- votees of the game will have of seeing ex Alderman Dunne punish a bandball, doubtless a large gathering will be present, particularly as the admission to the court will be free on this occasion. Mr. Dunne says that the sports of New York are nearly all strong Corbett men, and that they will betlarge sums of money when they learn positively from their friends that the Californian is in condition to go a hard race. irs. Trimble, Mrs. Olive Meliuish and | BROKERS OBJECT Prospect of a Lively Time in the Produce Exchange. A Proposed Amendment to the Constitution to Be Opposed. Directors Aim to Cut Into the Oper. aticns of the Bucket. Shop Manipulators. There is-every prospect of a lively time in the Ban Francisco Produce E nge on Monday next when the organization meets in special session to consider a pro- posed change in the constitution of the exchange. The board of directors propose to amend section 23 of article 5, so as to prohibit members from baving dealings of any character with the outside concerns that, in the pariance of the excaange, are called “bucket-shops.” Not only are they not to deal with them, but they are prohibited from giving them information, receiving information from them. Should the amendment carry, the first offense will be punished by suspension and the second by expulsion from the exchange. It is understood, however, that a bitter fight is to made against the amendment by an element in the exchange that objects to restrictions being placed about its’ dealings and movements. These brokers claim that the policy of the board of directors is narrow-gange and that if it is allowed to dominate the members to too great an extent the result will be dis- astrous to the interests of the organization. “It is a well-understood fact,” said a prominent member, who did not eare to bave his name used, “‘that this amend- ment is directed particularly against one bucket-shop which is doing a considerable business. It is all very well to shut bucket-shop proprietors out of the ex- change—and 1his was done in the case of the very man they are trying to down— but the members will not tolerate such re- strictions. The matter amounts to this: “At the exchange no transactions are allowed where the margin deposited is less than $200, while in these outside houses operations that only require a few dollars can be carried on. ““For some reason the directorsjhave got it into their heads that if they run the bucket-shops out of existence theexchange will get the business they now transact. This is not the case, for few of the bucket- shop operators have $200 and could not afford to deal through the exchange. *I do not provose to be reported and suspended if I meet a man on the sireet and stop to talk to him. Yet such would be the result should this pernicious amend- ment be allowed to go into our constitu- tion and by-laws. I anticipate a lively seesion on Monday and feel sure that the amendment will be defeated.” Ingleside Coursing.

JE VERY ONE KNOWS NOW THAT ELECTRICITY, WHEN PROP- erly applied, is a cure for many forms of disease and weakness. Of course every one knows that disease can’t exist in the body while all its functions are working well. If they a they are too weak to do so, and Elec re not working properly it is because tricity restores their vim and energ; therefore the best wayto apply electricity is the best cure. Scientific men say that an even, steady current applied for hours at a tima, the mild, soothing current, is most effective. This is all in favor of the famous Electric Belt, DR SANE EN'S It has been a recognized cure for many years. Dr. Sanden has devoted 30 years to its perfection, and it now has features, such as current reg- ulator, insulated batteries, and non-irritating conductors, not found in any other electric appliance on the market. For body wear, for con- venience, power of current, effectivenessand durability (guaranteed one year) it has no equal. None that h this point, however, Dr. Sanden takes a decided stand. make a cheap belt, and will not sell one. triq belts that have caused whateve article.
