The'largest crowd that has yet sttended the bicycle races assembled atthe Pavilion last night. The racing was good, the heats and finals in every instance being fought out right to the tape. The match races between Charles 8. ‘Wells and Walter F. Foster, at one, three and five miles, were thé principal features of the'evening's programme. The fir«t, at one mile, was paced for six " Japs by Morris of Texas, at a lively clip.

Wells: started his sprintand rode clear around his opponent, taking the lead and maintalning 1t to the tape. Foster tried hard to win, and was only beaten a few inches. Thetime was 2:10 2-5. When the men came out for the two- mile event, after a short rest, the excite- ment was intense, each man seemingly having an equal number of partisens. Morris paced sthe first. mile in 45 2nd was relieved by Sullivan for the first ix laps of the second mile, when he dropped out and left the men 1o them- selves. Wells had the lead and started the sprint early, with Foster (railing right behind him. Foster tried to get to the front on the last lap, but the big Bay City rider had the race well in hand and won all the way in 5. He was givena great reception as he dismounted. Having won two out of the three heats Wells was given the purse and the match, but it was decided to also run the five- mile event to decide which was the better man at that distance. Morris and Sulllvan on & tandem were put in to pace the men, and Foster was off tae quicker and caught first place, Wells ciosely. followin, The tandem took them along at a 2:15 clip, the first ridden in that time, two miles , three in 6:46 4-5, and four in Tlie tandem then began to gradually in- crease its pace on the last mile, up to the nfth lap, when it dropped out.’ Wells im- mediately jumped outand scon had. the lead, and then commenced a great sprint § for the tape. Iry as he would, Foster could not overtake him, and Wells crossed the line first by a lead of a full wheel’s gth. The time was 11:16. The professional open event of the even- ing was at one mule, in five heats, two semi-finals and & final. Allen, Stevens, Jones and Bob Terr:ll gualified for the | first semi-final. Allen took the lead early and iried to make a runaway race of it, but was soon overhauled by Jones, Who won out, Allen running second. Becker, Eaton and McFarland rode the econd semi-final. Eaton jumped to the iront on ihe sixthlap and started his fa- ious long sprint, which landed him a winner, close pressed by McFarland. This brought Jones, "Allen, Eston and McFariand into the final. Jones set the pace for the first lap, McFarland for tue second and Katon for the third. The sprint commenced -early, Allen “starting © it, but McFariand soon passed him, and " then Jones-and Eaton. These three iought it out to the wire, finishing in that | order, inches apart, Two “ordinary” races on the old:style high wheels created considerable amuse- ment, To-night Is the last night of the meet.

DISCU3SED BILL KO, 9 The Teachers' Annuity Assccia- ton Hold a Meeting at the Girls’ H gh School. A Ratification. Mzeling to Bz Hs Tu:ssday, April 20, at thz Sam: Place. A meeting of the teachers was held yes- terday at the Girls’ High School to dis- cuss Assembly bill No. 63, an act to amend the act {0 creste and administer a teach- ers’ acnuity and reiirement fund in the several counties and cities and counties in the State. Superintendent of Public Behools R. H. Webster presided. In his introductory remarks he said: “We are here to-day to discuss the Assembly bill No. 63, approved by the Governor of our State, Mo nday, March 29. After much patient work and waiting, vour efforts bave been crowned with success.”” In a general review of the bill mention was made of the 1893 and 1895 committees, who did such excellent work. Mr. Webster then said: “We must thank the 1897 committee, whose work has re- sulted in the act you have now befors you, Thanks are also due to our honored Mayor, James D, Phelan, and the Board of Education.” The 1ollowing letters to the Governor from Mr. Phelan.and the Board of Educa- tion were then read: March 27, 1897, Hon. James H. Bidd. Governor of California, Sacramento, Cal.—DEAR Sik: -1 desire io call your iavorable aitention 10 Assembly bill 63, providing for a_public schoolteachers’ an- nufly and retirement fuud. Its . bject is (0 pension teachers, the teachers themseives con- tributing $1 a month from their salaries, and in the City and Countyof San Francico it is made bligatory on the Board ol Education to apportion one half of the fiues imposed up- on teachcrs for non-attendance to their duties 10 this fund. This sum amonnted last vear to $11,000 I'am informed, £ud some $5600 of thalamount would have to be apportioned. I this item does not increase materially and it there be no attempt on the partof the teach- ers—which I cannot seriously contemplate—to conspire to Increase this fund, I think theact is a wise one. Ido not think the citizens of San Francisco would object to the small payment of $5000 or $10.000 out af the fines which would swell the school fund fself for the purpose of en- couraging the teachers, the.greater number of whom are women, to establish an anbuity and pension fund 1or their benefit after years of service. Hence I would respectfully request You to give your approval to the bill. JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor. DEPARTMENT OF PU CITY HaLL,| EDUCATION, , March 24, 189 ; SN FRANCISCO, Cal. To His Ezcel.ency James H. Budd, Governor of the State of California—HONORED STR: We nave the nonor 1o present 1o your attention the consensus of opinion entertained by the pub. lic school teuchers of this City and County on Assembly bill 63, introduced by Mr. jones, nOw awaiting your executive act. The principals, having polied the senti- meuts of their assistant teachers, did, on the DOBBERTIN'S “KNOCKED OUT," A Realistic Bust of Corbett on the Style of the Dy- ing Gladiator. The Idea Which the Sculptor Got of the Carson Episode Por- trayed in C'ay. A Look ot Unutterable Agony and Dis- couragement—Making a Bust of Fred Hinckley. Otto Dobbertin has just completed a bust cf James J. Corbett which 1s destined to attract a great deal of attention. The bust is entitled “Knocked Oat,” and is something after the style o! the “Dying Gladiator.” It represents ' the former champion of the world just alter Robert Fitzsimmons has dealt him his famous hook blow on the left side near the ueart. The tall form of the erstwhile cham- pion is toppling for a collapse. His lett tbemselves that promises to assume very Tespectable proportions, The fand stood above the figure of the day before, even after the men were paid off last evening. Some 668 men were given employment yesterday, but even that large number was more than covered by the subscriptions. That this state of affairs shall continue can only result from the continued activity of the collectors, however. The applications for work are continu- ous and pathetically persistent. Some of the men whose brief time has expired, and who are expgeted to give place to some others, plead %o piteously for an ex- tension of their time, for a few more days’ work, that it becomes a most difficalt thing for the committeemen to say no. ‘The men are stretched out over two miles of road, and when 6 o’clock blows they make a run for the paybox to get a forward place in the line. Kor it takes a long time to pay off this army and the first in the line may be at home before the Iast reaches the box and gets his money. MODERN SPIRITUALISM. Celebration of the Forty-Ninth Anni- versary In Scottish Hall. The forty-ninth anniversary of modern spiritualism was cetebrated in Scottish Hall, Larkin street, Thursday under the auspices of the California State Spiritu- alists’ Association. There were three sessions— morning, afternoun and eveninz—and at each there was a lar e attendance. At the morning session President Thomas G. Newman delivered an address of welcome, which was followed by mu: by Miss Cook. Professor J.S. Loveland delivered an interesting lecture on the advantages of spiri.uslism to the world at large. Short addresses and tests were made by Dobbertin’s Idea of the Carson Knockout as Shown in Its Effect on the Erstwhile Champion. hand is thrown upward and outward; his right is at his side; his knees have given way under him, and his head is thrown back, while a look of utter agony comes over him. The look is pain—of regretful resignation and surprise. Moreover, there isan expression such as Napoleon might have worn at Waterloo or St. Helena. It is of utter discouragement. Mr. Dobbertin got his idea ot the knook- out both from the parers and from eye- witnesses who graphicaily portrayed by word of mouth the effects of the terrible hook blow of Fitzsimmons. The sculptor was vividly impressed by what he heard of the defeat of the Hayes Valley champion. It reminded him, he says, of the forceful representation of the dying gladiator by Story, but he saw in “Knocked Qut” more than this, and he lost no time in getting to work on the idea. The result is that he bas a magnificent bust of the famous hero of the fisticarena. Some touches need 10 be added, as for il stance, the hair is not completely pomp: dotred and some other points require a little changing perhaps, but generaiiv the idea is well executed. The statue is not life size. It is smull, but full of force. William Keith thinks it a very fine thing. Quite a number of people who havj dropped into the sculptor's stucio an observed the bust of the fallen champion have been struck with the merit. Among other thiugs which Mr. Dobber- tin is working on is a lifesize bust of the laie Fred Hinckiey, husband of Florence Biythe Hinckiev. It is being made by aid of adeath masque and photographs. Mr. Dobb-rtin did not personally know Mr. Hinckley. Friends of Mr. Hinckley are pleased with 1he bust. aiternoon of March 23, in meeting assembled, on the rolleail of schools, with much enthu. siasin, cast 712 votes in {avor of the bill and 42 votes ngainstit. 1t yle.ds us much satisfaction to be able to annourice this practically unauimous vote in favor of the measure. We recognize that it is an improvement on the original iaw anda further recognition of the principle and poi- icy for which we believe we are justly con- tending.

Mr. Webster then said that the rest of the time devoted to the meeiing would be occupied by Mr. Mann, principal of the Denman Grammar School. Mr. Mann was then introduzed and sfter thanking the teachers for their re- ception he said that he would answer any Qquestion concerning the bill that might be put to .him, and reminded them that the notices should be filed within four Weeks, Atter the signing of the notices a meeting will be held to eiect a committee of five to act” on applications for retire- ment.

A Round-Up of Over Thirty Tigers by Aid of Trained Elephants. The Mishaps of Coming Too Close to the Tusks of the Pigs—Will Go to a Hospital. “T have been at many pig-stickings and have also, at times, been unpleasartly close to wild tigers of the jungles, when elephants were being used in the hunt,” said Mrs. A. Kingman of India to a CALL Trepresentative at the Russ. Mrs. Kingman is a great traveler and has been several times around the world. Last year she was in Egypt for several months, and since then she has been at Calcutta, Simla and at different places on the Ganges. While in India she caught the jungle fever, and has not been well since. This is why she hascome to San Francisco, from which she has been away about nine years. / “When I was in India I greatly en- joyed the pig-sticking, but I was a little afraid of the tiger-nunting. The hunting for tigers is done on elephants, and if they are not well broken there is danger of them turning and running—stamped- ing, as it were. 1f they do this thereis great danger of being killed. Take these elephants when they get excited and they will dash off into the jungle pellmell. Under such circurmstances there is little hope of escaping death. “I rememoer once that on a hunt of this sort where elephants were used some thirty or forty tigers were kiiled, but the women always hesiiated to go uniess they knew the elephants were well trained. “Now, with pig-sticking it is different. You can mount your horse and with spear in hand are quite safe though you doat times encounter some very ferocious ani- mals. 1 recall thata very fine horse was on one occasion cuz by the tusks of one of the wild pigs so that he had to be killed. Every one regretted the horse’s death, be- cause he was such a valuable animal. Of those wild pigs only the males will fight. The others cannot be goaded to do 0 unless their young are in danger of being molested.” Then they will fight to beat anything in the world. *As for the males they will fight all the time. They are tenacious as bulldogs and equipped with their sharp incisors and their terrible tusks they can rip and tear in a way that is frightiul. “It is exhilarating in the highest degree to get on a good pony and, equipped with along, sharp spear, go after these ani- mals. In gocd hunting ground it takes no time at ail to eeta half dozenora dozen around you. Then there is fun, but it is dangerous fun and you must look out. Should they snap a tendon of your pony’s leg down he will go, and then they will all makse a rush for you. It was_under circumstances of this kind that I hunted the wild pigs in India. I always, however, went in company with otbers, and generally some ot the officers from British stations were along. They are all, as a rule, fine pig-stickers, as are the women folks of their families. We had an immense amount of amusement out of it. Having the jungle fever Mrs. Kingman will remain in California for about a year. She thinksof going to one of the local hospitals for a time. THEY ML FEEL EASED Supreme Court Decisicn May B: a Blessing in Disguise to Railroad Men. All Danger of a Rite War Is New Belicved to Have Passed. Railroad men in this City see light ahead and safe sailing out of the sea of trouble created by the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States holding all pooling and rate-making arrangements to be illegal. They hope to find relief in the biilintroduced by Senator Foraker of Ohio on Tnesday. Ever since tie decision in question was given to the publiic there have been alarm- 1ng rumors of a great rate war involving every railroad competing for interstate traffic. % There was a general disintegration of the powerful organizations of the rai carriers of the country that gave rise to fears of rate slashing on a scale never before recorded. The disorganization apparently meant that each individual railroad company would enter the field for all the business it coula secure, regardiess of the pre-existing traffic and rate arrange- ments with othér roads, and thatas a natural con-equence rates would be cut right and left. In the inner circles of the railroad world no such immediate result, how- ever, was anticipated, as was stated in ThE CALL. According to the statement of a prominent official of the Southern Paci- fic Company there were two strong rea- sons why rate-cuttinz would not be in- dnuiged in. Oae of these, he stated, was the fact that rates were now as low as they could be mi d return any profit. Another was that rate-cutting, if induiged in at all, to bensht the road such a means of securing business would have to be :one in secret and in violation of the interstate commerce law. Events have proved the correctness ot the views of this g=ntleman, as little or no rate-cutting has been reported. Senator. Foraker's measure, which is evidently designed to restore order out of the chaos into which railroad matters were thrown by the decision of the Su- preme Court, is believed 10 have the ap- proval of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission. It permits r-ilflud pooling under cer- tain conditions. /Ruilrgad companies aure permitted to enter imo pooling agree- ments provided that such agreements are in writing and are filed with the commis- sion created by the proposed act and are approved by such commissivn. The com- mission is given authority to revise or modify the raies established if investiga- tion proves such modification is necessary. The orders and findings of the commission are made subject to review by any Circuit Court of the United States, and appeal may be taken to the United States Su- preme Court, Three days' notice must be given for advances and ten days for reduc- tions. It is further made lawful for common carriers to enter into agreements not for- bidden by the fifih section of the inter- state commerce act, in regard to the mak- ing and maintaining of lawiul rates pub- l_ NEW TYO-DAY.

F. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————— lished in separate or joint tariff achedules. | Tar ff Manager Stubbs of tke Southern Pucific is confident that the Foraker bill | will prove a remedy for the ilis threatened | by the Supreme Court decision. Instructions have been issued to the | Ea-tern representatives of the Southern Pacific Vompany to withdraw from all as- sociations of which that comvany is a member. This course was not taken so much as a result of the Supreme Court decision as because so many roads had al- ready withdrawn and so made the associa- tion virtually useless. Some fears have been expressed that the decision which has caused so much unrest and uncertainty would affect the special rates announced for the Christian En- deavor convention to te held in this City. General Passenger Agent Goodman states, nowever, that he believes all the roads will abide by the promises thev madeat the time the rates were announced, and that the rate of $50 from Chicago for the round trip will hold. Unless Congress passes the anti-scalpers’ bill, which bas alreadv passed the House, the Southern Pacific Company will refuse to make State rates for either the Chris- tian Endeavor convention or the Golden Gate Carnival. ————————— ARMY AND NAVY SUPPLIES. An Effort Made to Have Them Pur- chased on This Coast. The members of the Chamber of Com- merce have for some time past observad that the army and navy officerswho have the purchasing of supplies for these de- partments of the Federal Government on this coast fave always sent their orders for supplies 1o Eastern firms. In fact these officers have completely ignored the Pacific Coast aealers and treated San Francisco in particulab as though it wasa provincial town. This has been particularly mark:d in the pur- chase of drugs, not a single order having been placed in San Francisco within the memory of the members of the chamber. These gentlemen have decided that the army and navy officers have ignared the Western firms long enough) and steps have been taken to bring about a change for the benefit of San Francisco. Within the past week many letters have been sent from the Chamoer of Commerce to the Pacific Coast representatives at Wash- ington urging them 1o use their influence with the heads of departnents with the view of having such -upnlies as the army and navy on this coast require purchased here. There is &' very sirung impression | here that the reason’ that preference is shown for Eastern firms is because politit is at the bottom, and that those who have the purchasing of supplies throw their patronage to their Eastern volitical and social triends. It is hoped that, as Cali- fornia helps to maintain the army and navy, the officers at Washington will see the justice ot buying some of the supplies for the same on this coast. PURE-F00D CRUSADE. Judge Campbell Advises tbe Food In- spectors Not to Make Unneces- ary Arrests Fred Welker, president of the Pacific Coast Syrup Company, who was convicted by Judge Campbell Wednesday of manu- facturing and selling an imitation of rasp- berry jelly, appeared for sentence Thurs day morning. 3 1he Judgs fined the defendant $100, with the alternative of 100 days in the County J. and remarked thatin future any manufacturer convicted under the adulterated-food act would get a term of ifimprhunmem without the option of a ne.
