S THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1897. FAVORITES WERE ALL DEFEATED Fog Obscured a View of the Greater Portion of the Racing. Prompto, a Silent One, Dropped in Winner of the Open- ing Event. Dr. Sharp Eesily Beaten by San Mateo— Conley Ianded With Daylight in a Hard Drive. From a spectacular point of view the racing at Ingleside yesterday was an igno- minious failure. A heavy fogbank rolled in from the ocean just before the horses were called to the post for the first race, and only at intermirctent spells did it lift long enough to get an obscure look at the horses. A sickly grin overspread the faces of favorite players when Prompto, a 15 to1 shot, galloped in winner of the opening event, and it gave way to a corpselike look as one efter another of the first choices finished back in the fog. After Prompto the winning horses were: San Mateo, 3 to 1; Daily Racing Form, 6 to 1; Daylight, 3 to 1, and Chic, 10 to 1. All were fairly weil supported with the exception of the latter filly. Twelve two-year-olas started in the opening five-furlong scramble. Hermoso opened an even-money chance, but receded when a heavy play forced the oads arainst Eddie Jones down from fours to 8to5. Both Hermoso and the latter colt were knocked out of the race at the start, caused by Glenower stumbling and throwing his rider. At the end Prompto, a good-looking colt by Racine, won easily from Valencienne, a 20 to 1shot piloted by Holmes. The winner had H. Brown in the saddle. W. B. Sink’s colt, Dr. Sharp, warmest sort of favorite for the six-fur- long run taat followed. San Mateo is- sued from the fogin front and led bim past the judges eased up, three lengths to the good. Mercutio was a close third. The winner was 3 to 1 in the ring. Deily Rscing Form gravbed the next eventand decided a five-furlong sprint. An erratic actor at the post, Gray, who had the leg-up, finally managed to get a tlving start and was never eaught, beating out the 3 to 5 favorite, Free Lady, overa length in 13{. Catawba, with Conley in tbe saddle, ran an excellent race, fin- ishing a good third. By Holly took the purse for the mile and a furlong run, with Daylight ex- tended to the last pound at the end by Palomacita. Song and Dance was backed down to 510 2 favoritism, and, as usual, | gavs Dis entertaining exhibition at the | post. He finally got away with the burch, but appers io ba a false alarm, never cutting much of a ficure, Conley. on Daylight, ran second to Palmerston until the stretch was reached, and then assuming the lead got the decision from | Palomacita in a hard drive by a head. Collins pulled out of the bunch opposite the paddock, securing show honors. | The final event on t card went to| Chic, carrying the colors of Jennings & Co. The filly was allowed to run prac- | tically loose, and ina drive the last furlong | overtook Woodland Baile and downed ner a half length. The winner's odds receded in the betting from 6 to 10 to 1,Coupon 111, the 8to5 favorite, was unable to finish inside the money ! Sl e TO-DAY’S ENTRIES.

Two bovs named Elmer Gibson and Julian Cooper, who reside in this city, left their respective homes last Sunday morn- ing, ostensibly in searcn of pleasure. They said they would be gone but & few hours, Yesterday afternoon Captain Spillane | | received a message from the Oakland | police, announcing that they had picked | up the boys in the Oakland estuary. | It seems that after lesving their home the boys visited the water front, hired a | rowboat and started for Oakland. When about half way across they lost their oars, | and it was found necessary to tear up the footrest in tke rotiom of the boat, which they used in steerinz tue craft. Atter considerable diflicuity they man- aged to reach the Oakiand estuary, and fuiline 1o effect a landing, they lustily | cailed for help. Their cries were heard by a policeman, and going to their assist- ance he managed to get them ashore. The bovs were almost famished. Last night the boys were returned to the city and were restored to their parents. - HONORING GRANT'S SON. | George H. Thomas Post Entertains U. S. Jr. ut Its Meeting.

Lively Fusillade in a South San Francisco Hay and Grain Barn, Burglars Make a Big Haul From Kiefer's Cigar Factory on Clay Street. An exchange of shots through a door between Policeman C. Buckley and asafe- cracker at an early hour yesterday morn- ing resuited in no damage to either party. Between 1 and 2 o'clock Buckley reached thecorner of Fifteenth and Rail- road avenues, South San Francisco, and saw the figure of a man standing in front of John Stumpf & Efon’s hay and grain store. Thinking it was Policeman George O’Connell, whom he had left on the cor- "”& a few minutes before, he called out: “What did you come back for, George 2"’ The supposed George did not reply, but darted off into the darkness. Buckley saw that something was wrong, and, hearing a noise in the office, he tried to opzn the door. There was a safe-cracker incide, and Buckley was nearly perforated by a bullet that was fired through the door at him. He quickly pulled his revolver, and he and the safe-cracker kept shooting through the door tiil their revolvers were emptied. Buckley then forced open the door, but meantime the safe-cracker had made bis escaje. Buckley found that the safe, which was an old one, had been forced oven. Tue knob had been broken off, and the rest was easy. All that was in the safe was | $12 counterfeit money and $250 in good coin which the safe-cracker had taken away with him. 4 The job was reported to police head- quarters yesterday morning by Lieutenant i« Bennettand Detectives Silvey and:Crock- ett were detailed on the case. It i thoucht the safe-crackersare the same two young men wbo made an unsuccessiu! attempt about ten days ago to break open the safe in the office of Scott & McCord, hay and grain dealers, 615 Sixth street. Tue cigar manufactory of J. E. Kiefer, 612 Clay street, was visited by burglars Sunday night or early Monday morning and between 4000 and 5000 cigars were stolen. ‘When Kiefer reached the factory Mon- day morning he found that the door had been forced open, and it did not take him long to discover his lose, which he at once reported 1o police headquarters. Sunday night burglars got away with 150 cigars from the Tuiare Exchan:e Sa- loon on Larkin street, opvosite the en- trance to the Central and Southern palice stations. ———————————eee NEW TO-DATY? — KEW TC-DAY.

An eminent physician says that “Women are not truthful, to their physicians.” This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, but not the whole truth, to a male physician, but this is only in regard to those painful and troublesome disorders pecu- liar to their sex. There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to an- swer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician. This is espe- cially the case with unmarried women, This is the reason why thousands and thonsands of women are now corresponding with Mrs, Pinkham. To this good woman they can and do give every symptom, so that she really knows more about the true condition of her patients through her correspondence than the physician who per- sonally questions them. Perfect confidence and candor are at once established between Mrs, Pinkham and her patients, Years ago women had no such recourse. Nowadays a modest woman asks help of a ‘woman who understands women. If you suffer from any form of trouble peculiar to women, write at once to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mess., and she will advise you free of charge. And the fact that this great boon whicl is extended freely to women by Mrs. Pinkham, is appreciated, the thousands of le\ters which are received by her prove. Many such grateful let- tersas the following are constantly pouring in: ‘I was a sufferer from female weakness for about a year and a half. I have tried doctors and patent medicines, but nothing helped me. Iunderwent the horrors of local treatment, but received no benefit. My ailment was pronounced uleeration of the womb. I suffered from in- tense pains in the womb and ovaries, and the backache was dreadful. I had leucorrheea in its worst form. Finally I grew so weak I had to keep my bed. The pains were so hard as to almost cause spasms. WhenIcould endure the pain no longer I was given morphine. My memory grew short, and I gave up all hope of ever getting well. Thus 1 dragged along. At last I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. Her answer came promptly. Iread carefully herletter, and concluded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. After taking two bottles I felt much better; but after using six bottles I was cured. My friends think my cure almost miraculous. Her noble work is surely a blessing to broken-down women."—GRACE B.
