8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 20. 1897. DISASTROUS DAY FOR FAVORITES All of the Shert-Priced Ones Bowled Over at Ingleside. Rosormonde Beaten Out for the Corrigan Stake by Michael Joe Piggott Successful in Two Close Finishes—Tim Murphy Won at Odds at 20 to I. Ingleside track reopened yesterday for its final meeting of this racing season, and the result was most disastrous for favored ones in the betiing. While no really “good things” were sent through, one or two of the winners were quite extensively played. It washoved that Pat Dunne’s Good Times, which went to jthe post at evens for the final race, might save the day for the favorites, but the big lumbering coit developed about as much speed as a Kansas grasshopper with one leg in splints. The card was a very ordinary one, and the attendance scarcely up to the average. Sixteen pencilers marked up odds in the ring and were never besieged with *‘rafts of coin.” The weather was cool and the track good, but not fast. The Corrigan stake for two-vear-olds, at five furlongs, saw ten racy-looking young- sters appear with the colors up. It was s handicap affair, and Rosormonde, with Clawson and 102 pounds in the saddle, was a pronounced favorite in the betting, going to the post 8 to 5. Away first, Claw- son made a wide turn into the stretch, with the aristocratic miss, aliowing M:cnael, with Coady up. to come through on the rail, and in a hard drive found him- seif beaten out half a length in 1:013{ Front de Boeuf, with Willie Martin to do the piloting, Tan a surprisingiy zood race, finishing third, lapped on the 1wo leaders. The winner, which packed 116} pounds, is a sturdy-looking chestnut coit, by imp, Istington from Jessie C, dam of the speedy Circe. He is owned by W. M. Murry of Sacramento, and has shown great game- | ness in all of his races. Lady Diamond. the 6 to 5 favorite for the opening seven-furlong purse affair, displayed about as much speed as a tin can rolling up hill and finished beyond first and second money. Tarning info the stretch, the 10 to 1 shot Manchester, rid- den by Hennessy, drew awsy from his company and won with ease from the 30 to 1'vutsiaer, Blue Bell. White & Clarke turned the six-furlong selling sprint that followed over with their old roan veteran, Tim Murphy. The ring laid 15 to 1 against the old fellow and always at the saddle-girth of Perhaps he downed that gelding a nose or the wire in 1:1 Third money went to Mollie R, Lizz.e H, who receded from 8 to 5 to 13 10 5, finished well up at the end. The fourth race, run over a mileand a sixteentb, decided under selling condi- tions, resulted in the overthrow of the hot 3105 favorite Rey del Tierra, ridden by Clawson. The youngste- managed to get & clear head down the backsiretch and turned into the straight for bhome with his mount looking a winner. At the fur- long pole both San Marco and The Bache- Jor drew up on the leader and soon had bim in trouble. Simmered down to a .Tive between the two last-named horses, Piggott, on The Bachelor, outfinished Isom and oot :is horse overtie line a long nose before San Marco in 1:50 flat. The winner was 6 to 1 in the books ibroughbout the betting. Refugee was played down from threes to 5 to 2 to win the six-furlong sprint that came next, but came outstiff and sore and ended up third, Caliente, against which 9102 was laid, won in a drive by one length, with Marjorie snatching the place from the favorite. - Good Times either was minus or did not wish to extend himself in the concluding mile run, and brought up a bad third. In a punishing drive Piggott, on Bernardilio, led Lode Star out by a short head 1n 1:4334. S e NOTES. Walter J did not appear to be unusually fractious while at the post in the Emery- ville races, and it might not be out of the way for Ingleside to accept his entry. His owner is not wealthy, but should be given a chance to earn bread and buiter, never- theless. Jim Neil came very near landing a good bet with Perhaps, and the brown gelding was one of the really “live ones” which started in the second race. Mike Hennessy is seen to good advan- tage in the saddie these days. He piloted two winners in very clever fashion yester- day, and Burns & Waterhouse evidently | made no mistake when they signed the veteran. Joe Piggolt seems to have rezained his old winning form.. In a closz decision Joe’s number is usually hoisted &n the top. Pat Murphy was fouled the last hundred yards by Caliente, but Slaughter pulled the roan horse up so hard the last few jumps that he failed to finish among the nrst three. Had he been xecond, Slau:h- ter's claim of foul against the winner would probably have been sustained.

Ealdwin's b. g, by Kmperor of Norfolk-Jennie B Tim: Al SHOW WINDOWS T0 BE CURTAILED Must Not Be Extended Over the Public Sidewalks. Mayor Phelan Vetces a Permit * and Expresses His Ideas on the Matter. Hall of Justice Progressing — Gales May Be Ordered for Rail- road Crossings. Mayor Phelan has decided that the time to check the narrowing of the side- walks of the City by allowing shopkeepers to extend their show-windows over the same has come, and he intends to make a determined crusade against the granting of any more permits. He started the ball rolling vesterday at the meeting of tie Board of Supervisors by vetoing resoiution No. 1622, granting J. L. Haskell permission to extend his show-windows twelve inches over the sidewalk at 1118 and 1120 Market street. The message reads as follows: Such special privileges have been heretofore granted by the Beard of Supervisors at the re- quest of property-owners, and thus become vot special privileges, but & general privilege, becanse if you grant the jrivileze to one | there is no good reason why it should Le re- fused to another. e evil has grown by rea. son of the fact that one property-ownet ex- tends his show-window over the sidewslk, thus compelling his neighbor to do the same, and so on progressively unti all the show- windows are projected. If the priviiege was not granted in the first insiance, every property-owner would be com= pelled (0 occupy his own land. He could pro- | duce the same effect on his own lLine by mak- ing embrasures instead of projections, and the public would not be the sufferers.” Asitis now, one foot is taken off the sidewalk and given to the property-owner, thus narrowing the channel over whigh people sre compelled to puss, inconveniencibg and ecrowding them into the roadway. Such an absorption of the sidewalk 15 certainiy in derogation of the rights of the eitizen 10 11s free and juil use. General order 1586 ot the Board of Super- visors limits the use of the public sidewalk for private purposes to the privilege of gaining ACcess 10 one’s property, as by a basement entranee, but the projection of a suow-win- dow is not made for any necessary purpose and is clearly an encroachment upon the pub- lic stree: The owuers of property, furthermore, are | snort-sighted in thus reducing the width of the sidewalk on business thoroughfares, be- cause 50 crowded do they become ou certain days and evenings of the week, and on occs- sions 0 nnnsual gatherings, that not o:ly are the public inconvenienced but customers are driven away by reason of the compact boai of pegple moving in one direction or another over the diminished sidewslk. My criticism applies to the principal thor- oughiares rather than to the outlylng dis- tricts, where, however, the sume principie is involved, bui not the same necessity for im- mediate actioi. Tiiese special privileges are revoeable by the board, aud where they become conspicuous nuisaiices it may be uecessary for your honor- sble body to revoke some of the privile already granted: but inasmuch ss projecting show-windows have been slmost invariably Pput in o:d structures. it may be that the con- struction of new builiings in the nesr future will remedy the evil, and to this end such special priv.leges should hereafter be denied. JAMES D. PHELAN. Mayor. Supervisor Rottanzi offered a resolution that was referred to the Street Commit- tee providing that individuals, companies or corporations operating streetcar iracks in this City must pave the space between | theTails and the portion which by law they are compe led to keep in order with the same c.aracier of pavement that is used in the remainder of the street, except for eight inches on each side of the tracks, which may te paved with basait blocks. The Committee on Public Buildings re- ported that the architectand Superintend- ent of Construction of tne Hall of Justice bad reported that a larger force of men than formerly was at work on the build- ing, but that the work could be pushed more rapidly. The committee also re- that “the building must be con- structed with the same variety of stone that is being used in the new ferry build- ing, and that the sub-condract to furnish the stone had been ict to 1. 8. Delano of the Rocklin Marble Company. Bateman Brothers have been notified that the present morgue building will be vacated in about two weeks, and that as the temporary quarters have been rented for six months every effort should be made to erect the new building within that time. A communication was received from the Richmond District Improvement Associa- tion asking that the Sutro Railroad Com- pany be compellea to run its cars within the limit of speed required by the muni- cipal ordinances. The petition was signed by George R. Fletcher, president of the or- ganization, and stated that the cars of the company were run so fast as to endanger the lives, not only of those patzonizing the line but :hose compeiled 10 use crossings over wich 1t passes. The recent accident in which a number of persons were in- | jured was attributed to the speed of the cars. A resolution was adopted transferring $3000 from the funds of the Almshouse to those of the City and County Hospital in order to prevent a shortage in the re- sources of the latter institution. The funds of the hospital were overdrawn when the present board went into office, and since then a sewer system costing $4000 has been paid for out of the funds, leaving them in a bad shape unless re- plenished in some'manner. A resolution permitting the South San Francisco Gun Ciub toconduct trap-shoot- ing on a tract of land owned by Thomas Fanning, balf a mile inside the County line, two miles from the Mission road, was pasted to print. Supervisor Clinton offered a resolution that was referred to the Street Committee directing the Southern Pacific Company to erect gates where its tracks cross pub- lic streets at the following locations: King and Fourth strects, Townsend and fourth streeis, Townsend and Fiith streets, Townsend and’ Eizhth streetg, Harrison and Eighth streets, Harrison anfh Twenty-first streets, Valencia and Twenty-fifth streets, 111i- nois and Nupa streets. oid Sau Jose road and Circular avenue, Ocean House road and Soutnern Paclfic Raiiroad crossing, old San Jose road and Piymouth avenue. In support of his resolution the Super- visor stated that he had asked the Super- intendent of Streets for the lacations of the railroad crossings of this City and had received a list of foriy-four. The ones meniioned were classed as dangerous. Dr, Clinton stated that it was necessary for the preservation of human Iife to have gales at the crossings meniioned, and that the absence of such already cost several people th D strict Attorney nes sent in a com- munication stating ihat tbe services of Attorney J. J. Dunne, whose appointment as special counsel and demand for services were vetoed by the Mayor, are necessary for the proper conduct of his office. STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

FOOD COFFEE. Americans and Their Money. A late issue of the karmers’ Union has an editorial upon ‘‘Coffee and Its Effect on Health and Public Interests.” The paper strongly urzes upon the notice of its readers the fact that America is draiued of muilions of dollars annually to send to foreign countries for a product that is one of the prime causes of the increase in nervous diseases in America to-day, and states that a well informed physician on stomach and nerve ailments has, after a vear's experiment, produced a delicious beverage from American cereals, wheat, etc., which has the exact color of high- grade Java coffee and turns to tke rich goiden brown of Mocha when cream is added. It is said to de less acrid and bitter than the lower grades of coffee, but has much the mellow piquancy of the more expen- sive grades of Java and the Arabian berry. This grain beverage never produces the unvleasant offect on heart or stomach ana liver that is all too frequently the case with imported coffee, .m;l while it looks and tastes like coffee the originator ex- pre-ses the wish that it be known as Pos- tum Cereal, a food drink, and not a<an imitation of any other beverage—coffee, tea, chocolate, etc. The beverage is said to become very popular with those who find it bard to digest coffee, and the chil- dren can be served with it as a liquid food, pure and nourishing, while to them it appears like berry coffee. Postum, it seems, will_go mbout three times as far as and it is interesting to know that the company at Battle Creek, Mich., is working up quantitiea of wheat and otfier American cereals in its prodce- tion, and that the money thus expended ®oes directly to the support of our Ameri- can farmers. It is said to have found great favor with the wealthy classes for its ability to “make red blood,” and with those who count the cost of food because of the economy and a marked improve- ment in general health when used. The gain to America by iis general adoption should be great. There is but one genuine original Pos- tum Cereal coffee, with a multitude of im- tations offered as “‘just as good.” VARICOCELE. HIS VERY COMMON AILMENT IS POSI- tively cured by a treatmeut original with Doctor Sweany, which atizeks the seat of the disease and restores a healthfal condition- to the v+ins and nerves, thus enabling them by their contraction to give & proper circuls tion of the blood through the veins, thereby graduallygreucing their swollen condition. The pain disappears, they return to their original healthy condition and appearance, and a varicose condition cannot continue, re- turn or form after you have ouce been properly cured by his treatment, which does not inter- fere with any regular habits or employment, and may be used without knowledge or sus- pieion of auy other person. Sufferets from this disease, the time to cure itis when it first manifests itseli. Neglected, varicocele soon assumes a coudition where notbing short of an operation will avail. It is therefore important that these cases re- ceive early attention. Describe your case fully and Dr. Sweany will tell you candidly whether of not you can be cured without an operation. 73 & DOCTOR SWEANY, Whose Reputation Is Established by Ten Years of Acknowiedged Succeas at 737 Market Street, San Francisoo.
