12 THE DIDN'T THROW MONEY AWAY Race-Goers at Oakland Indulged in Careful Wagering. Three Choices and Three More Lengthy Priced Horses Won Purses. Personne Reversed Things by Win- ning in a Common Canter From Rey del Tierra. The racing programme at Oakland yesterday wore a careworn look and no extensive plunzing was indulged in by the spectators. Three favorites made the tour in safety, but three h the greater bulk leagues behind others entrusted w of the coin bet fini: the coin. The track was fast, as usual, but the class of horses starting allowed of | no record breaking. Many who picked Miss Alice to win the opening six furlong sprint maiden two year olds were scared off by seeing the filly recede in the bet- ting from 3 to 2 to to 2. A plunge on Flanders cut his odds to the same notch. and Brambella also closed at 21%. Jones on Miss Alice soor showed first, and though she had no speed to loan at the end the filly beat Carbineer (a 10 to 1 shot) out by two lencths. Snipsey, another outsider, was third. Midzs opened favorite for the seven furlong selling event next decided, but was no demand for him Ima was backed down to 8 to 5 favoritism. Thorpe, astride the latter, got a ing start, but sne tired badly the last furlong, and in a hard drive was led out by O'Fle a 7 to 1 shot, with Piggott in the sz Coda, about the best of the assortment, slouchily ridden by Jones, came very fast at-the end. being beaten but .a neck by the two leaders.

Glenower, backed for quite a “killing,” ran disappointingly. Ezell’s colt Personne could notbeat a big fat dog last time out, but he was a brilliantly illuminated Christmas | tree in the mile race yesterday, for which Break o’ Day was a 9 to 10 fav- | orite.

Captain Ree as extensively backed at the s at a loss tage of the short price of 6 to 5, but w for speed during the early running and could do no better than finish third.

After the improved showing made by Personne, in his race yesterday, McIntire, who rode the colt in his pre- vious race, was indefinitely suspend- ed. It might be well if the judges would inquire as to what the boy’s in- structions were on that oceasion. Beginning to-night Jockey Dick Clawson will begin an extensive vaca- tion, lasting until the first of the year. On investigation the judges findhewas responsible for the bumping by which | May W was knocked out of the race on Wednesday and thrown against the inner rail. The filly was ridden by Conley, and Clawson, astride Tea Rose, yvelled to Thorpe on Bellicoso to cut the colored lad off. Thorpe did not heed instructions, so Clawson ap- | | pointed himself a committee of one to | do the trick, with the resuit that Con- | ley was pitched against the rail and nearly thrown over the fence. Hence his enforced idleness. ‘cights mssigned entries in the Shasta ter Handicap, to be run Christmas Day; purse, $400; five and a half furlongs; a high® weight handicap: Declarations to be made by 12 m.

Some VERYWHERE the question is be- Exng asked, “What are you going to wear to the faney dress cotillon?” Some have decided and are extremely uncommuncative, but many are as yet in a state of anxious uncertainty. Every one desires an original design. These, however, are not as plentiful as one could wish. The Call presents some up to date ideas. For example, very recently one of New York's belles appeared gowned in a frock of white fleur de lis, outlined in silver. This conception was carried out perfectly, the chiffon skirt being covered with the flowers and the bodice shaped like one. Nevertheless, far less expensive and very lovely would it be to have the skirt simply run with silver threads, but retain /the idea of the bodice, if possible, as the latest way of having the neck cut is to have it high in the center and tapering off at the sides—a becoming mode. The sleeves of several of the latest elab- orate Parisian gowns are without sleeves, only a strap passing over each shoulder. Three silver fleurs de lis, the middle one being the tallest, should be arranged in a crescent shape for the hair. The lilies must also be carried. The foundation of the dress can be either white gilk or white satin. Either a blonde or a brunette can wear it with perfect satisfaction, excepting in a few cases where the coloring is un- usual. Worth has just completed a Turkish | costume, which is declared to be most beautiful when worn by a dark eyed, dusky haired .belle. and bodice Dress Worn by Miss Goelet at the Duchess of Devonshire’s Fancy Ball. mauve silk, the yoke and sleeves trim- med with jeweled embroidery and an applique of violet velvet. Transparent black and gold gauze forms the skirt and hanging sleeves, and covers the corsage. The fashionable shoes are such as Turkish women only wear at fancy balls. A foreign correspondent writes on the 27th of November, 1897: In Paris the fashions of the moment are generally reproduced in fancy dress, so that looking at the sketches on any of e “‘fantaisies nouvelles” it is quite e e to see in what vear they were brought out. For the moment many of | the prettiest models have a piece of gos- samer material falling from the back of the shoulder, and caught in to the wrist with a gold circlet, giving a soft effect, although showing the arm in its entirety. The floral epaulettes are fa oned to re- semble the triple friliings which appear on most of the gowns of the season, and two favorites for fancy costumes are the mimosa, which is libérally employed on a kilted skirt and low bodice, and the mistletoe that adorns the softest of sil- ver tulle. The Folie Rose is a dress cut in pink satin after the Princess style, with liberal trimmings of roses, a Folly cap and a large Folly bauble in the hand. This is a charming notion which would seem to have taken the public taste by storm. This authority is quite enthusiastic over a creation evolved from two em- broidered crepe .Chinese shawls, the result being a fancy frock for a dan- cing girl. g At every such ball are almost sure to be seen some pretty flower dresses, and one of roses, if well carried out, is always chic, for the bodice can be formed of the petals, a ruche being made of the flowers with their leaves, if becoming; otherwise the foliage alone. The skirt may be as simple or as decorative as desired. Last July the Duchess of Devon- shire gave a fancy dress ball, at which were worn costumes of the most gor- geous and artistic description. One much commented upon, on account of its graceful outlines and exquisite em- broidery, was worn by the American beauty, Miss Goelet, who appeared at- tired as a lady of the Assyrian court. The original was of gold striped gauze over gold tissue, richly em- broidered with gold and jewels. Draped about it were three sashes in pink, lilac and blue gauzes, the ends of which were embroidered and com- pleted with fringe. The Assyrian headdress was enriched with jewels, and from the crown of the head arose an aigrette. Ovyer each ear was a lotus flower, and she also carried one. At the same ball the young woman who represented Dawn was much ad- mired in her pink chiffon frock made over golden satin. Her fan was a ris- ing sun, as was the ornament in her hair. Amy Robsart was likewise lovely. If carried out in cream white satin and rich pink brocade, which shonld serve for the front and for the lining of the long sleeves, a picturesque confection will be the result. A handsome galon is requisite. The jaunty cap with plumes ar- ranged, just as represented, is most be- coming, and the sleeves should be faithfully copied, being historically cor- rect. A word of advice, be careful to wear the correct slippers, gloves, ete., of the time your dress is presumed to be typical of, and take equal care con- cerning the arrangement of your hair and do not appear decked out in inap- propriate ornaments. ‘Those who like something very un- usual and bizarre would admire an | It was designed originally for | | a blonde. Tt consists of full | composed of | | | Empire gown of yellow satin. Round the low-cut, heart-shaped neck is rich embroidery which is continued down the left side to about the knee; there the dress is slashed to show some very finely pleated yellow gauze. The embroidery is quickly done if large artificial pearls are used. Round the body, just under the bosom, is passed a deep orange satin ribbon, the same ribbon being the TURKISH COSTUME. only substitute for sleeves; from it falls some jeweled beads over the arms. On the left shoulder is caught a long gauze scarf which has embroi- dered ends. The skirt has a very short | train. A turban-like arrangement should be worn on the hair and on it should stand erect rather long pea- cock feathers. Two or three long chains should encircle the throat and fall on the dress besides half a dozen bracelets on each arm are none too many. The great object is to find some un- hackneyed character, and this model! certainly falls in with the feeling of the hour for rich embroideries, and the jeweled and tinseled garnitures of to- day could be adapted to it with: con- siderable advantage.

A Decree of Divorce Granted to Yulah Grove Bur- lingame. N Yulan Grove Burlingame was granted a divorce from Roger Bur- lingame by Judge Bahrs yesterday on the ground of extreme cruelty. The. plaintiff is the daughter of James Dietrich, a well known mining expert. A little more than a year ago, while on a visit to Greencastle, Ind., she met the defendant, who was then a college student, and within three months they were married. She says that shortly after the mar- riage she discovered that her husband was a confirmed gambler, and in order to gratify his passion for play he was not careful to use only his own money. She says he began to treat her with great cruelty, from the effects of which she became an invalid. On proving her allegations she was al- Maurice Newton Dead.

Hints Regarding Dressing SUDDEN DEATH OF PHILIP A. MONDT Found Dead of Heart Disease in His Room at the Las Palmas. A Man of Sterling Worth and Gentle Manner Who Leaves Many Friends. News of the death of Philip A. Mondt will be received with surprise and sorrow by his many friends this morning. When last seen by them he presented every appearance of health, for the inroads of an insidious disease made no mark on his features and its dire results were only realized when the dead body of its victim was found lying on the floor of his room last At noon yesterday Mrs. Miller, the landlady of the Las Palmas, where Mr. Mondt roomed, at 1820 Market street, knocked at the door of his room, but evening. got no response. Again at 5 in the evening she knocked at the door, and, receiving no response, feared some- band to enter the room through the window. Mr. Miller effected an en- trance and found the dead body of Mondt lying where it had fallen from the chair in which he had been sitting. The Coroner was telephoned for and the body removed to the Morgue, but Dr. W. W. Kerr, who has been treating Mr. Mondt for valvular disease of the heart, telephoned to the Coroner, who released the body, and it was sent to Halstead’'s undertaking rooms to be prepared for burial. Mr. Mondt was a man of wide ac- quaintance and was generally liked by all who knew him. He was a member of many German societies and his fel- He was a kindly man, beloved by his friends, of whom he had hosts, even though of a retiring- disposition. His innate goodness of heart and gentle- ness of manner endeared him to all with whom he came in contact, while his honesty and sterling worth com- bined with his ability in business mat- ters gave him high standing in his profession, It was his restless en- | ergy and determination to put his very | life into his work for his employers | that brought about the mailady that was the immediate cause of his death. Years ago he occupied a prominent position in the German Savings and Loan Society, but his close attention | to his duties so impaired his health | that he was compelled to resign and he then accepted the position of head" | bookkeeper of the Hawaiian Commer- cial and Sugar Company. His strict promoted to the position of book- ery, where he remained until death closed his accounts and rendered his last balance-sheet. He was in the em- ploy of Mr. Spreckels for about twelve years and was a trusted and valued employe during the entire time. DR. J. 1. STANTON DANGEROUSLY ILL Contracted but a Few Days Ago. Due to Exposure While Attending a Brother During a Fatal I11- ness. Dr. James I. Stanton, the well-known member of the Railroad Commission- ers, who resides at 1838 Mission street, is lying dangerously ill at his home He had been constantly In attendance upon his brother, Dr. Edward Stanton, who died of pneumonia a few days ago, and who was buried yesterday, and it is thought by his family and physicians that the exposure which he was subject to during five days and nights at his brother’s bedside ac- counts for his ailment. The physicians, though realizing the seriousness of their patient’s condition, are hopeful that he will recover as his vitality and youth are all in his favor. ATTACKED BY @ WILD HOG. Little . Thomas Jevons Seriously Bitten While Watching a Drove Pass His Home. Thomas Jevons, a lad of 6 years of age, was fiercely attacked by a wild hog near his home, on Illinois street, vesterday morning. He was watching a drove of wild hogs pass, whereupon one broke away from the ranks and pursued him with the ferocity of a wild boar. The child was severely bitten about the hands, face, legs and arms, and now lies almost unconscious and in a critical condition. Two men who saw the attack carried the little fellow t- L his home, 835 Illinois street, and Dr. Simpson was called to dress ‘his wounds. ————— SANTA ANITA YEARLINGS. Purchasers Were Scarce and Low Prices Were Real- ized. Only a small assemblage of horse- men gathered at’'the Occidental Horse Exchange last evening to bid on the Santa Anita stock farm yearlings, the property of E. J. Baldwin. The im- pression seemed to prevail that most of them had been tried or were culls and the bidding was decidedly light. Of the -entire lot offered for sale but seven yearlings and two two-year-olds found purchasers, and these at very low figures. The buyers and prices re- ceived were as follows: La Petaca, b. f. by imp: Chesterfield- Blossom, $100, T. Jones: San Laredo, ch. c. by imp. Chesterfield-Paola, $110, W. B.
