Roadwarmer, Backed Down Sev- | eral Points, Gets Home First in Fast Time. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Sept. 9.—Nearly 5000 people to k advantage of the holiday to view the racing at Agricultural Park to-dav, and a look of lassiinde was clearly discernible on many faces as the big throng wended its way homeward at the conclusion of the sport, for it received a bad buffeting about at the hands of the layers of odds. A lonely 7 to 10 chance, Caliente, of all the favorites sent to the post struggling in first, gives a tangible anation of this feeling of ennui. the first time since the meeting opened the fair sex assembled in force, the grand stand being comfortably filled with pretty misses and hand<omely cos- tumed matrons. But from the bookmakers reaped but little profit, for the ladies seemed content to watch the sport without venturing a wager. 8ix | bookmaking firms laid prices in the ring, while two field books gave smaller speculators an opportunity to rid them- selves of superfluous dollars. The last race on the card, a mile and a sixteentb selling affair for §250, furnished the most exciting finish of the afternoon. Wien the odds were first chalked up Palomacita and Marcel were each quoted at5 to 2. Bettors for some reason lought shy of the former mare, and her price re- ceded to 8tol. The pig play was made on Little Cripple, whose odds were forced down from threes to 3 to 2 favoritism. Bookmaker Humphrey liked his horse’s chance, but did not fancy the ability of his rider (Park any too well, sna to the youth’s weak ride could be attributed his | defeat.

Y SRRy THREW DULL Letter-Carriers Pass a Day of Unalloyed Pleas- ure. They Visited the Park, Cliff House, Presidio and Other Points of Interest. In the Evening All S8at Down to a Bountiful Repast at 0dd Fellows' Hall, At 9 o’clock yesterday morning the dele- gates to the Letter-carriers’ Convention lined up in front of the Mint with a look of solemnity on tbeir faces which would bave done them justice had they been about to attend the tuneral of one of their most beloved members. The business on hand was not a funeral, however, nor were the melancholy looks due to any sudden disaster. But the gentlemen were about to have their pictures taken and were making most pathetic attempts to “look pleasant.’” The i hotographer put the black cloth over his head :nd made a brief survey of his victims, but one glance sufficed to show him that if they retained that strained, hardened look the result would be anything but complimentary. With a second admonition to ‘“look naf- ural” he disappeared behind the deadly wachine, and again he saw that to press the button would be madness. At this critical juncture a wagon used for collecting mail jassed down the street and the effect was magical. For one brief moment each fuce resumed its pleasant aspect, and in an ecstacy of joy the pho- tographer pressed the button and—but the camera did the rest. As soon as this trying ordeal was done with the mail men and members of the ladies’ auxiiiary ensconsed themselves in carriages with a view to seeing the town and painting everything in the vicinity of the Cliff House a fiery hue. Twenty-eight conveyances were pressed in service and placed in command of Joseph McGill, as grand marshal. Mr. McGill made a briet survey of his ranks, and was just about to order thestart when he was checked by a cry of dismay. The fat men had made the discovery that their bus was in the rear of the procession while the feather-weights were given the first place. In an awed and softened tone Mr. McGiil explained to the delegation of corpulent ones that the first carriage was filled with represeniatives of the press, who must always have first place, but that they might fall in second if they chose. This arrangement proved satis- factory and with a blare of bugzles the start was made. Everybody zot out of the way and all along the route they were greeted with cheers and words of welcome, glad songs. The drive included a trip through the Presidio, luncheon at the Cliff House, re- turning by way of Golden Gate Park and e stop at the Olympic Club, where the delegates enjoyed the hospitality of the club. ‘When the first carriages arrived at the Cliff House Marshal Mc@Gill carefully walked along and counted them, to make sure none had met a mishap, and was sur- prised at finding only twenty-seven. After half an bour of anxious waiting he was about to send out a search party, when a team of horses was discovered toiling wearily along the road, and the fat men's bus finally hove in sight. At the Cliff the visitors scattered around and enjoved Mr. Wilkins' genial hospital- itv, and when the start for home was made at 3 o’clock all were reluctant to leave, but their regrets were soon lost sight of when the marvelous beauties of Golden Gate Park were unfolded before | them. At the Otympic Club quarters therooms were thrown open ana the visitors amused paratus, viewing the pictures or stroliing through the rooms. Ln the evening all enjoyed a bounteous repast in the banquet-room of Odd Fel- lows’ Hall. T e room was prettily deco- rated iu the Nationl colors and festooned with ivy, and on the long tab'es covers were laid tor 600. Frank E.Smith as toastmaster was replete with merry jests and timely remarks, which added rauch to the enjoyment of the occasion. Some disappointment was falt, however, at the unavoidabie absence of James H. Bndd, James D. Phelan and Postmaster Montague. The following toasts were ably respond- ed to: *Caiifornia,”” Hon. James G. Maguire; recitation, Julins Kahn; “The Postoffice,” D. 8. Richarason; *‘The Press,”” Wells Drury; *“The National Assaciation,”” Jonn N. Parsons; ‘‘Early California,”” General Wi'liam H. L.

Koche. - Dan Green Won the Swimming Race From Cornell at Sutro Yes- ter lay. There was a special programme at Sutro Baths yesterday in honor of Admission day, and the popular resort was patron- ized by a lar.e number of people. The specialty artists gave excellent per- formances in their lie, bat the event of ihe day was the swimming contest be- tween R. B. Cornell and Dan Green. The race was for the 220-yard professional championship of the Pacific Coast. Cornell was the favorite in the betting, the odds being 10 to 7 in his favor, and there was con¢iderable money on the race. Green had the best of it all through the race ard won easily, arriving under the rope thirty feet ahead of his opponent. There were nine entries tor the fifty- Yard race for A man with a boy on his back. A. Baker of Chicago won, F. Gaf- fert second, Fred Burnette third. ——————— Two Fights With S erious Results. Mrs. Laura McMillan, who keeps a shooting- gallers at 804 Dupont street, was assaulted by Clotilda Keurleer with an iron bar last night and had an arm broken. The injured woman was taken to the Receiving Hosp!tal and the other woman Wwas booked at the California- street station. Luig!i Reilaglita and Paul Penaso became invoived in a heated argument last night which led to blows.

How Innocent Expressions Were Badly Distorted in Order to Make a Case. Oorroboration Comes From Prominent Men Who Were Present at the Meetings, Rev. Dr. W. D. P. Bliss is again com- pelled to enter a denial of words attrib- uted to him by the Examiner. The fol- lowing is se!f-explanatory : To the Edutor of the San Francisco Call— DEAR SIR: Wheu a mau hus beeu as seric and repeatedly misrepresented and misquoted as | have been of late in this commuucity, 1t seems almost useless to say anything, but since 1see that your paper desires (o do me justice, will you #llow me 11 your columus to formaily deay that I said the ‘things, either before the Congregational Cl'ub or the Socialists with which | am credited as saying. Iappend let- ters from Rev. Mr. Rader and Rev. Mr. Scott, who, respectively, were present at the two | meetings, and know what I did say. As to my reported uiterances before the Jougregationa, Club, it hus already been noted toat I made no general accusaiions as 0 plutocratic clergymen or churches, and mentioned no indiviiual nemes, except after- ward in private. My paver, according to one o1 the two duilies which repor.ed it, was in- dorsed by a majority of the club, according Lo the other daily by nearly ali the ciub. It stands Lo reason that I couid not have taken the position with which 1 am accredited, for surelv no ministerial club would indorse that. The reporter who reported me was not pres- ent at the club—through 1o tault of hers—and 100k my utterances third nand. Yet it ison this report of a report of what I said that I have peea condemned. As for my utterances before tne Sociulists, I huve been almost more seriously misrepresented. In the first place I induiged in 1o profanity, on the platform or elsewanere. Isuid thatiu the Bible damnation means damoation, and that I believe God uamns the present system. I never indulged in that phraseas a proiane utterance. Iwent on to guote Chris’s words where he con- demns seii-seeking, the loye of money, etc. Secondly, I did say that sometimes Ifeli that there was more true religion in practical so- cialist societies than in fashionable churches, butin the same senteuce i asked ihe audience to note what 1 meant by practical socialists, and I told them that the only practical social- ism which I knew was the brotherhood of man, besed on the fatherhood of God. Thirdly, I took no such deistic view cf God as L am made 10 take by the papers. Isimply said I did not believe in a God who was a 1ar- away individual outside of the worid. 1be- lieved in a present Goc, and I bade my audi- ence *'Speak o him then, for he heurs, and sparit with spirit cun meet. Nearer is he than breathiug and closer than hands and feet.” I was addressing an audience mainly composed 0. unbelieying workingmen, and in plain workingmaun’s words [ iried to make them think oi God and Christ and the divine life as facts of the present universe. Ido not belleve that one of iy auaience misundersiood me; ye. by altering my words and omitting por- iions of my sentences I have—perhaps without intent—be:n put in an utterly wrong light. 1f a man can be so misrepresented no charac- ter is safe ana no clergyman secure. lam gratefully yours, W. D. P. BLiss. J. E. Scott writes: I was present in Turk-street Temple when Mr. Bliss addressed the socialisis, and desire to say thai his statement of what be said is correct. He said nothingirreverent, burmade a burning plea for belief in God aud actual applied brotherhood on earth, J. E. SCOTT. Dr. Rader writes the following cor- roboration: Permit me to say that Dr. Bliss’ statement of whut he said before the Monday Cilub is cor- rect. Ifirst heard of Dr. Bliss when a student in the Andover Theological Seminary. He ad- dressed the profeisors and students and made a proiound tmpression. He has since had a notable career. Earnest, sincere and genuine is this reiormer, not unlike Professor Herron in his spirit and purpose. He quite properly used the Trinity corporation as na illustration of tue wrong use of the unearned increment. He prob bly was rash in his comparison with Ingersoll, but he stated a very puzziing fact—a nut for every minister io crack. He said nothing of “piutoeratic ¢ e gyman,” re- ferring only to the most powerful ecclesiasti- cal corporation in the world and its relation to its tenants. He confessed that his allusion te they died 1or murder, vthers for an ideal. Dr. Bliss holds to the latter. He urges others to have ideals, and die 1or them if they are worth it. He does not sympatiize with anarcnists. He believes many of them to be thoroughly bad. Dr. Bliss “simply said what every thoughiul man believes in; that hypoerisy in the clergyman or the church is worse than infidelity in Ingersoll. And he is right. WILLIAM KADER, President of the Monday Club, CROWDS AT THE RACETRACK. Light Harness Kaces With Gentlemen Drivers at Oakland. The light harncss races held yesterday afternoon at Oakland racetrack, under the auspices of the Golden Gute Driving As-o- | ciation of this City, drew a large crowd to the track.

Iu the secord race, horses of the 2:28 class, there was keen competition, L. Ricuardson’s Mattie B capturing first place 1n two heats and winning first money. The greatest interest centered in the third race, a free for all. Videtta, driven by J. Cusick, had things her own way, making the mile in 2:19. F. Cercial's Bishop Hero tuok th- fourth race, for horses of the 2:30 class. Sir Abbott's re- peated breakings necessi.ated half a dozen siarts in the second hent before the judges xave the word to go.

Sumner Heray piayea in his old-time form, driv- ing past the Waitneys reveatedly, while The Sam Hardy siashed very effectively. Each side lobbed equally well. The score by sets was: 6—3, 6—4, 8—6. JUST RETURNED FROM KLONDIKE F. E. Leonard of Portland Arrives and Predicts Famine, Says He Left While He Could as Food Will Be Un- purchasable. Prudent Ones Leaving to Avoid Win- ter Scarcity—Those at St. Michael Better Off. F. E. Leonard of Portland, the latest arrival from the Klondike, landed in this City yesterday morning, having transferred to the steamship Pomona at Eureka, where he arrived three days ago in the steamer National City from St Michael. He says he left Dawson City because he was afraid that he would not be able to buy food there this winter. He predicts great suffering among the 6000 miners from an insufficient supply of provisions | to last the camp until the Yukon shall open in the spring and permit the trans- portation of food to the isolated mining district. The more prudent miners, he says, an- ticipating what may develop to a famine, are selling their kits and getting out while they can, with the prospect of spending the winter under better con- ditions and being ready to return in the spring. Mr. Leonard brougitsome of the yellow stuff out with him—how much he did not say. He was at the smelting works in the morning superintending a little clean-up intended to keep him through the winter at his home in Portiand, whither he started last night. When seen at the Commercial Hotel he said: *1 went to the Klondike this year, so my mining experiences there were lim- ited. I started on wiy return from Daw- son City on July 26. *1 saw enough to convince me that the country is very rich; it is also very dan- gerous, nunless a man goes there properiy equipped and with a good stock of pro- visions. “I do not hesitate to admit that L came nwug because I found I would not be able to obtain supplies to carry me through until the river opens next vear. It wus not that 1 did not have mocney to buy. There was simply no prospect that there would be anything for sale, so I decided to leaye while I could. “There is lots of gold on El Dorado and ?%lénnzn creeks. But a man must have ood. I have heard a good deal of talk about wages from $10 to $15 a day, but such cases are unususl. A man can work only when the weather permits, and $8 a day is a good average wage there. “Jjust befo:e I left Dawson City I went to the stores of both the trading com- panies and tried to-buy canned goods of any kind for any price. 1 could not get them. Thie stores are practically closed, and nothing but small quantities can be bought. 1t will be an absolute physical impossibility to get a sufficient supply of food up to Dawson City this winter, “*There is plenty of provisions at St. Michael, but by next month the Yukon will be filled with ice, ana will frozen over before any river boats conld possibly reach Dawson City. *“When one day out from St. Michael We met the steamer Humboldt with a biz crowd of passengers. I do not believe that any of then. wili reach Dawson City this year. If they are wise they will wait at St. Michael until spring.”” Mr. Leonard would not place an esti- mate on the vaiue of the treasure now on its way here in the steamship Excelsior. He says that all such estimates are only wild guesses. He was on the Weare when she ran aground and was delayed two weeks on the Yuzon twe!ve m from Circle City. He blames the captain for not heeding the warning of sn Indian pilot. LAVIGNE AND WALGOPT The Hurricane Fighters Will Meet in the Roped Arena in This City. The Weight Question Finally Settled and the Ocoidental Club Will Pull Off the Match. Lavigne and Walcott are practically matched, all differences as to weight hav- ing been decided upoa. Yesterday afternoon O'Rourke, repre- senting Walcott, Lavigne and his brother Biily and Young Miichell met in the lat- ier’'s resort. The Lavignes submitted three propositions to Q'Rourke—the con- testants to weigh in at 3 o’clock on tue day of the coniest at 133 pounds, 135 at 6 o’cleck and 138 at the ringside. 0O'Rourke hetd out for his original stipu- lation—the men 10 weigh in at 136 pounds at 6 o’clock. Lavi_ue stated that be bad made his last concession to O’Rourke, and that be Lad given Wulcott a great advantage in doing so; tiiat there was now only a dif- rence of one pound between him and O'Rourke on the 6 o’clock weighing in proposition. After a desultory discussion O'Rourke | agreed that the men should weigh in at 6 o'clock at 135 pounds, *'1 will make that darky get down to that figure or kill bim,"’ said the manager. “He can’t be killed,” said Lavigne, quietly. " Tuen came a discussion as to the club that should pull the fight off. Mitchell, representing the Oceidental Ciub, col tended that the Club bad brought Livigne out here, paying his fare to come; that the Occidental’s bid of 75 per cent of the gross receipts was a most i1beral one. 0O'Rourke said that so far as he was con- cerned he was satisfied with the club’s offer. Similar views were expressed by Luavigne, and it was mutually agreed that the figut shouid be given under the aus- pices of the Occidental Club. The men will meet this afternoon or evening at Mitchell’s and sign articles for the physical culture contest, which prom- ises to be the most stubbornly and wick- edly fought battle ever given in the roped arena in San Franci-co. g Director Gibbs of the National Club, when apprised of the result of the meet- ing in Mitchell’s, felt a grieved that the National Club’s of 80 per cent of the gross receipts had been ignored by 0O Rourke and Lavigne. He thought inas- much as his club’s bid was the highest the match should have gone to the Na- tional. Young Mitchell says the fight will take lace the latter part of October or early in ovem ber. ————— Eoglish barmaids earn on an average 10 shillings a week. NEW TO-DAY — CLOTHING.
