Since the management dropped the amateur short ance races from its nightly programme the attendance has been better. The ,professionals furnmish the best sport and the pubiic likes their i better. An accident in the final of the five-mile club cup race spoiled what might huve been a highly interesting finish. The contestants were Kenna, Gooch, Russ and Wing. Wing fell and Russ ran into him, leaving only the other two to fight it out, Ke winning as he pleased. Neither Wells, Becker nor the Terrill brothers siowed to advantage during the ! nignt. It was an off night h them, ut with some light training and a good rest to-morrow they will be spiendid shape for next week’s racing. It took three preliminary heats to bring the field in the five-mile open professional race down to Stevens of Iowa, Jones, O.ympic, Jay Eaton of Chicago and Flovd McFariand of San Jose.

They were pacea by Griffiths (Bay City) and Eiford (Reliunce) lonatanien: Atihe start Russ was the first to fall in behind the tandem. Kenna and Wing immediately ran ahead and fell buck, Kenna catching on to the tandem on tue inside as it passed.

On the fourth mile Russ and Wing fell, from whose fault it was hard to teil, and before ey could remount the others had gained 170 laps on them.

There may be a_faster amatenr on the coast than Kenns, but Judge Kerrigan maintains he cannot be found. The Olympics had hard luck in the five-mile cup race, both of the men 1alling in the final. Clint Couiter denies that he has given up the racing game. But he does not like small tracks. The Bay City Wheelmen celebrated their winning of the cup witha high jinks at the clubhouse after the races. the | up | Toe- | Oue of the prettiest finishes seen at the meet was in the ifth heat of the half-mile last night between *“Bob” Terrill, Downing and Becker, They finished inghes apart, in that order. F. E. Schefsk left by the Sunset Limited last night to attend the indoor meet which opeus at Memphis, Tenn., April 2. M. A. Casenave of Los Augeles arrived here yesterday nnd attended the races last night. He is to have a position on the Reliance Club's relay team. W. J. Hawksof the Bay City Wneelmen took arun down from Auburn yesterdey to see the races. The track being a little slippery last night, the Bay City Wheelmen kinaly proffered the services o1 “Sands” Plummer, which were quickly accepted, and the remedy proved quite efficacious. In addition to the racing programme ar- ranged for Monday night Corbett will appear and spar four rounds with Billy Woods. The latter will wear his pneumatic armor. The team work of McFarland and Stevens in the five-mile professional race wes very pretty. They had a considerable advantage over the other starters by Teason of it. Frank H. Kerrigan yesterday resigned as chief consul of the North California Division, League of American Wheelmen. The resigna- tions of most of the others of the board of offi- cers will probably be handed 1u this week. SUES THE GRAND JURY. Miss Josephine Givens Wants a Man- dolin That Is Growing Famous.

He then roferred to the generous hos- pitality San F-ancisco gave to the Grand Army at the time the Grand Encamp- ment was held, a hospitality that cannot be forgotten. He then spoke of his visit to the South- ern States, where he talked patriotism, and said tliat he has not spoken to more enthusiastic audiences than he did to those in the Sonthern States he v.sited. He then spoke of McKinley, who, he said, “is one of us,” and prophesied that he “‘will raise the country out of the slough of desp nd into which it has of iate yeais falien”; but to do this all must stand shoulider to shoulder by the head of the Government. He then urged the necessity of teaching the children patriotism and wmilitary in- struction in theschoois. He said that the time has come when there should be a change in the history of the war that is taught in the public schools, and tbat he will urge at the next National Encamp- ment that the Grand Army have a history introduced in the schools that will tell the truth about the war at least. The quartet gave selections, which closed the programme, and the com- mander-in-chief shook hands with all in the audience. To-day he ieaves for Oregon. —— Furnitare Moved. Estimates furnished.
