8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, ‘1897. THE LADIES WERE - SAD ARD GLOOMY Backed Veragua and He Was Left at the Post. Satsuma Took the Handicap at Ingleside in a Fierce Drive. Y:nkee Dooile Had No Speed—Yemen’s Uaruly Actions Caused Him to Be Left, “Oh my! wasn't it just awful; I'd like to be.a starter!” and all such expressions could be neard in the grand stand at In- gleside yesterday. It was “ladies day” and despite the rain, the fair sex turned out in liberal numbers. The cause of these pet sayings was a tip out on Veragua to win the hur- dle race that fairly permeated the atmos- phere. Itseemed as though every woman that entered through the turnstiles had the jumper's name pinned in her hat. The tip was too good; too hot; it got scorched in the oven. Veragua performed a number of thrilling acrobatic gyrations while the field was at the post, and with a look of contempt, turned and went the other way when the barrier flew up. The horse was a 2 to 1 choiceand of course the bookmakers felt very sorry at bis ungen- tlemanly conduct. Money enough to buy a thousand new spring bonnets was burnt up, and Veragua will henceforth cease to be a fireside companion. i Taken all in all tue favorites did not seem to enjoy the drizzling rain in tbe Jeast, for but two landed purses. The de- feat of the otherscould be ascribed to lack of speed, except in the case of Yemen, which was also left at the post. By far the most inzeresting event of the day was the six-funiong handicap, taken in a fierce drive by Satsuma, ably ridden by Charley Thorpe. Dunne’s Preston, carrying 110 pounds and Willie Martin, carried all the Chicago coin and ruled-an 11 to 5 favorite in the betting. Installator, With 105 pounds on his back, looked nicely situated and his odds were forced down from 6 to4. Of the other starters Cash Day and Satsuma, both at fives, attracted 1he mosy attention. After considerable delay at the post the bunch was dispatched o & fair start. Green Morris’ mare Sallie Clicquot was possessed of all kinds of speed during the early running, striking the stretch first, but there having enough. Martin on Preston then took command and it looked easy for the brown sprinter. Suddenly Installator, with whom Sioan had been in a bad position, got_through-and soon had | Martin riding the favorite feet and ban The Hrutus horse no sooner had the first choice succumbed tban he’ in turn was challenged by Thorpe on Satsuma snd beaten out a head. Preston was a iength away. Down the back stretch the winner, which packed 106 pounds, was the tail- ender, looking hopelessly beaten, and his | unexpected win stamps him as a horse of considerable quality. Ed Purser’s Yankee Doodle was sent 1o the post a 7 to 10 favorite for the opening mile run, but after half the distance had been covered, was in difficulties, and finished a poor third. The light weighted Cappy, an 8 to 1skot, made all the run- ning and at the end won all out, less than a length ahead of Logan, the second choice, in 1:4 The seven furlong selling that followed nearly resulted 1n a victory-for the 30 to 1 outsider, Scinitz. Sander’s chestnut led | the field to the paddock, where Marjorie, | backed down from threes to 8 to 5 favori- ism, overhauled and beat him out with ease. Miss Ruth came very fast at the end, securing third place. A'bundle of coin was burnt up over the result of the mile and a quarter Lurdle ovent. Veragua was played for a good thing at odds of 2to 1, but balked when the barrier flew up and was left at the post. After being prominent ihroughout the runping Candor, the second choice, drew | cruelty; Delia Me. clear in the stre:ch and won_essily from Hyman. The 100 to 1 shot, Brilliant, was third, The mile and a sixteenth, run next, proved a cake walk for the 2 to 5 choice Bave Marphy. Ezell's mare galloped around, finishine five lengthsin advance of Tulare, with Roselle third, beaten half alength. The money bet on the old sprinter Yemen to win the final five-furiong scram- tle all went up in smoke. He was plaved from twos down to 7 to 5, and, actine very unruly, was left at the post when the bar- rier flew tp. fornia, which receded from 7 to 5 favoritism to 2 to 1, then won handily enough from Mainstay, against which 12 to 1 was laid. Horatio wasa good third. ] ———— NOTES, Starter Dick Havey is popular with the jockeys riding here. This fact was demon- strated yesterday. Previous to the open- ing race yesterday Mr. Havey was pre- sented with an elegant gold repeating cbronometer, suitably inscribed, paia for by subecriptions made by the different knights of the pigskin. The good-natured starter was much surprised at the gift and for some minutes could not find words to express his thanks. Yankee Doodle looked too high in flesh to show to any great advantage.

Time, EATON WON THE BIG RACE The “Indoor King” Defeated Wells, Becker and Loughead. “Bob” Terrill Won a Special Professional Match From a Good Field. 0. L. Stevens of Iswa Lowsred the World’s Half-Mile Record to 54 1-5 Seconds. 7 ‘The Pavilion bicycle races drew another large crowd last night. There wera no accidents to mar the sport,and the men rode hard in every event, particularly fast time marking the professional racing. The event of the evening was a one- mile match between F.J. Loughead, the Canadian champion; C. 8. Wells, the crack of the Bay City Wheelmen; Jay Eaton, the “indoor king,” and W. E. Becker, five-mile National champion. The race was run in heats, the condi- tions being that a man must win two heats to possess Himself of the purse. There was considerable betting on the race, Loughead and Wells being the pub- lic favorites. Becker was said to be a little back 1n his training, and Eaton has never been right since he reached the coast. The ‘first heat was paced by Stevens. Becker got away quickest and caught him, with Wells, Loughead and Eaton following in that order. No attempt was made to steal the pacemaker from Becker. Stevens dropped out on the sixth lap, snd the sprint commenced. Wells graduaily drew alongside of Becker and then passed him, but on the bell lap Loughead forged to the front and Eaton passed Becker, and it was a three-man fight to the tape, Loughead winning by a_scant lead, Wells second, Eaton third. The time was re- markably fast, 2:05 2-5. Morris was put in to pace the second heat, and again Becker was first to catch him, Lougtread, Wells and Eaton follow- ing. Becker did not try to hold Morriy’ pace, and the latter soon got some tway ahead of the bunch. The men, therefore, rode unpaced for most of the distance. Wells jumped to the front on the fifth lap and Loughead rode up alongside, thus pocketing Becker, who was trailing Weiis. Eaton saw his opportunjty and started one of bis long sprints, gaining a good lead before the others could get well under way. He led to the tape, and Becker, getting out of the Wells-Loughead pocket, ran fast into second place. Loug- head was given third. The time was slow, 2:21 1-5. The excitement was running hizh when the men came out for the third heat. Stevens was again the pacemaker, and made it exceedingly fast. The order be- hind him was Loughead, Becker, Wells, Eaton. At the beginning of the sixth lap Eaton started a long sprint for home. Loughead challenged him, and they raced side by side for a lap and a half, Becker and Wells right behind them. Eaton bat the inside, and gained a shight lead round- ing the last turn, which landed him win- ner by & length. Loughead’s sprint died away, and Becker beat him out inches for second-place honors.” Welis was surely off in his form, for he could do mno better than last. The time for this h:at was 2 This gave the race to Eaton, he having won two heats. And so at last the “in- door king'* had redeemed bimself for his many failures to win during the tourna- ment, and had ridden up to his Eastern -reputation. He was roundly appiauded for his victory, which was a marked one, defeating as he did three of the- greatest professionals in the country. A match race between W. A. Terrill, Ea Allen, T. Sullivan and A. M. Boyden, one mile, professional, furnished sonie good sport. To win the purse & man was re- quired to win two heats. Terrill “sccountea”’ tor the first heat by a decisive victory over the others, Sulli- van running second. Terrill had no trouble in placing the second heat to his crédit in 2:273 5, as he clearly outclassed his field. Sullivan was second, Allen third. There was an amateur race on the pro- gramme at one mile, with the usual princely-prize list of $15, $7 50 and $4 that the management offers to compete ior. It was noticeable that none .of the cracks were entered, Kenna, Mott, Bacon, Russ, Lacey and Wing preferring not to ride for the trophies offered. ‘The preliminary heats reduced the field to Barley, Imperial Club, C. M: Smith and Hammonds of San Jose, and Tantau, Olympic. Barley was leading when the sprint came, but Hammonds nipped the vlcu‘;’ry from him at the tape. Tantau ran third., 0. L: Btevens, the Iowa professional, rode a half mile againat time, paced by Boveeand Moyris, the crack Texas tan- dem team. They made it good and fast for “‘Steve,” and he rode the half in 54 -5 seconds, world’s record time. The former record was :58. A mile handicap Japanese race, with three starters, was one of the divertise- ments of the eveningand furnished a good deal of amusement. Following is the summary: One mile match, professional, between Wells, Louvhead, Becker and Eaton. First heat—Won by F. J. Loughead, Canada; time, 2:05 2-5. Second, C. 8. Wells, Bay City; third, Jay Eaton, Chicago. Second heat—Won by Jay Eaton: time, 2:211-5. Second, W. E. Becker; third, F. J. Loughead. Third heat—Won by Jay Eaton: time, 2:06. Second, W. E.

Many of them are in a hopeless condition now, but those yet on the road 10 tatters may be saved by rebind- ing. A small appropriation annually will be sufficient for the purpose, and it is certainly important that the records sbould be pre- served.

Champion Michael Advises Use of Paine’s Gelery Compound. James Michael is the champion long- distance bicyclist of the world. He recommends all wheelmen to take Paine’s celery compound. His experience is that of thousands of others. With the opening of the bicycle season many a young person and hun- areds of older people who have deter- mined to take up ‘bicycling as a health- piving exercise find themselves really lacking the proper ‘“‘snap” or stamina to begin on. Their bodily condition pre- vents so spirited an exercise. They would like to nde, but they are out of sorts, run down by a winter of work or indoor life. Many who are really sick, who have suf- fered from debility or wasting diseases for a long time until they had begun to think their troubles had. become chronic, as nothing gave them relief, would turn to bicycling for relief. But this splendid exercise, like any other, requires strength to undertake. The blood is out of order, the nerves are deranged, and nature’s food for both is needed. All such persons will find to their im- mense joy that Paine’s celery compound taken now will make them well. Paine's celery compound works wonders in the spring. . If you bave labored under the load of repeated headaches, neuralgic pains and days of nervous debility, now is your best time to get well. Michael is to-day the most phenomenal rider in professional ranks. As far back as 1894 he was undispuied champion of Great Britain, and in the following year he went to France and scored 25 straight wins against the Xicked riders of Europe. He has defeated such farcous men as Jacquelin, Gougoltz, Huret, Rivierre, Bon- hours, Bourriilon and Barden of England, and Leyten, the Belgian champion. He has just returned from Europe and is now ready to join the racing men on the Pacitic Coast, despite the large amount of Work he has gone through during the past montas, Michael has made cycle racing a careful study and is in a position to give excel- lent advice not only to racing men but to wheelmen and athletes in general. In reference to his own methods the follow- ing letter will interest everybody: Boston, Mass., Feb. 21, 1897. " Aditer the exertion of my record 1ides while with the Morzan & Wright team in the south last winter, during which 1 lost somewhat in weight on account of the un- accustomed climate, I was advised to use Paine’s celery compound. I am pleased to say that it gave such satisfaction that I was impelled to use it again to brace up- from the effects of the two unusually rouch ocean trips that I have taken dur- ing the past mouth. I believe that wheel- men who have to undergo the hardships of *'circuit chasing’’ will find Paine’s cel- ery compound of asgistance in keeping up their physical tone. Jimmy Michael.
