10 ! THE SAN F‘RANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1897 / e ————————————————— TIGHT SQUEEZE FOR BUCKWA Given the Verdict Over The Roman in a Des- perate Drive. The Gentlemen’s Race Captured by Mr. Dunphy Astride Dick Behan. Miss Lynah, an Odds-On Choice, Badly Beaten—A Poor Start Aids Perseus. The best horserace of many a day was witnessed at Ingleside yvesterday. The fourth event it was that furnished the finish which nearly set the big crowd wild. The distance was one mile, and in it started Buckwa, The Roman, Orimar, imp. Tripping and Mercutio. The betting was all in favor of Buckwa, with Willie Martin in the saddle, Purser's good horse £0ing to the post an even money choice. The Roman commanded a strong fol- lowing with about him, and a 200d bundle went in on Tripping at a twos point or two higher. Willie Martin got his mount away well and started out to make the pace. He was joined by Mercutio, which colt hung on sur- prisingly well for s had enough. In the stretch, Thorpe, on The Ro- man, caught up with Buckwa, soon joined by the rank outsider Orimar, with Conley in the saddle, and the trio induiged in a fierce drive to the wire. Looking beaten below the pad- dock, aartin, on Buckwa, reserved his he for a final effort, and forty yards from the flnishing post let out i x furlongs, when he final link, and was given the ver- dict over The Roman by a nose. Ori- mar was but half a length away, with Tripping at the latter’s saddle girths. From the press stand it looked as though The Roman won by a nose. The regular attendance of racegoers 5 augmented by quite a gathering society folk, assembled to witne the race for gentlemen riders. The dis tance was over one mile, and six gen- tlemen riders sported silk. Dick Behan, with Mr. Dunphy in the saddle, w: made a favorite in the betting and, well handied by that gentleman, got home | over a length ahead of Atticus, piloted | Presidio, though looking | by Mr. Sink classed, was landed in the show by iter Hobart. Mr. Simpkins, astride liam O'B, cut out a hot clip to the stretch, where he had enough. Favorites took all but two races on the card. Twenty-four bookmakers weighed in at vesterday's cut, and all received a liberal patronage. Of the eleven cheap selling-platers in the opening seven-furlong run, Tri- umph, with Thorpe in the saddle, re- ceived the best ride, and with nothing to spare at the end led Twinkle Twink out a length. The winner opened a 7 to 5 choice in the betting, receding to 11 to 5, equal choice with the place horse. Spencer, on Rey del Diablo, a rank outsider, finished in the show. Miss Lynah, the 1 to 2 favorite for the second event, a six-furlong sprint, was started short of work, and made a very shady showing. Unable to out. run old C; Day the fi part, the mare tossed it up entirely when the stretch was reached, ending up third. Conley, on the 6 to 1 chanee, Midlight, made his move the last furlong and beat Cash Day out half a length driv- ing. A very poor start marred the fifth race, about half of the field being left at the post. Jones, on the favorite, Perseus, managed to get away ana. never headed, passed the w a length in advance of Can't Dance. made a fine run from where away, and with a better start possibly have turned up the winner. = ~In the last event, a he got ; ix-fur- long sprint S again unfortunate in leaving the even money <ho! ce, Moylan, at the post.

The Orimar people were evidently out for a water melon carving. Con- ley did his best to beat the gate, and but for a bumping match around the first turn the outsider might have landed the coin. He was a good horse at the end and there will be no more 30 to 1 against him for several moons. Those who had seen the colt perform in the East said he was a good one, but looked outclassed. edly be a very severe critic were he a turf scribe. Joe occupied a promi- nent place in the press stand during the progress of the fourth race, and, like many others present, picked The Roman as the winner. When the number of Buckwa was hoisted on top Joe turned around and, address- ing the press in general, said, “What are you guys going to say in the morning?”’ 0Old Cash Day pulled up good and sound after his race, and looks better than he ever did since his advent in California. He should just about put it over next time out. | Of course, nobody expects cheap- selling platers to run up to form like stake horses, but some of these dainty morsels of horseflesh gallivanting around in these parts perform very inconsistently. Take the last race of Triumph. for instance; it would not entitle him to a place in a three panel spin for car horses. Still yesterday he was made a favorite and brought it home.

Race—Rubicon, del Tierra, A Change in Dates Likely to Be Made at the Two Big Tracks, The directors of the California and Pacific Coast Jockey clubs held a | meeting last night at the Palace Hotel regarding the advisability of racing for a period of one month at each of the big tracks, instead of the semi-month- | 1y meetings now held. Horsemen complain that the cost of transporting their horses from one track to another is very expensive, as the meetings are now held, and again there is much grumbling at the in and out running of many horses due to the change in tracks. No agreement was reached, but a committee was appointed to confer with the two clubs, and as the Califor- | nia Jockey Club is quite agreeable to | the change, it is more than likely that the present meeting now being held at ! Ingleside will be extended two weeks. “THE CALL’S” RACING CHART. CIFIC COAST JOCKE fine. Track fast. 354;' FIRST RAC even furlong! A Y CLUB--Ingleside Track--Fifty-second day P of_the Winter Meeting.

Motion Will Be Argued to Strike Out Mayer May’s Evidence for Non-Competency. The preliminary examination of Al- bert Hoff, charged with- the murder of Mrs. Mary A. Clute, which was con- tinued yesterday before Judge Joach- imsen, was chiefly remarkable for the squabblings between counsel and the Judge, due to the persistence of the attorneys for the defendant in asking the same questions over and over again. At one time Prosecuting At- torney Graham characterized the con- duct of defendant's attorneys as out- | rageous and insisted upon the Judge respecting his rights in the case. The cross-examination of Mayer May, who testified to seeing a coup- ling pin in Hoff's possession two or three years ago, was resumed yester- day morning by Attorney Schooler, who attempted to show that May's testimony about the coupling pin was prompted by ill feeling and with the object of injuring the defendant. The witness admitted he had connected Hoff with the murder upon the strength of the story of the coupling- pin, which was printed in the newspa- pers on the day following the murder and before Hoff's name had been men- tioned. May was cross-examined at consid- erable length about his belief in spirit- ualism. He had once been an acknowl- edged spiritualist, but of late had dropped the subject, experience having shown him that the science was be- vond his full comprehension. Since then he had been giving his attention to psychelogy, but with hule»succes_s. Schooler wanted him to experiment in court, but he declined. “Your studies have unbalanced your mind, have they not?” asked Schooler. 0, they have not,” retorted May. “I am just as sane as you are.” Then he was questioned as to being in an insane asylum, and answered that he was railroaded by the police, without the opportunity of being ex- amined by a Judge or by comnission- ers. The trouble between witness and Hoff was owing to the latter making an insulting and indecent remark in the presence of the witness’ wife and and said to his friends in the court- room that Schooler’s questions were to the flames by making a motion that May's evidence be stricken from the record, on the ground that he was not competent to be a witness. The mo- tion will be argued when the prosecu- tion rests. J. G. Zimbleman, 243 Sanchez street, testified to seeing a coupling vin in Hoff's carpet sack while he and Hofl were working in a house on McAllister street, near Gough. He had occasion to open the sack to look for a nail. Witness was subjected to a long and tedious cross-examination by Attorney Simpson as to the other articles he saw in the sack, their size, condition and character, which led to numerous bick- erings. avenue, testified to being in Dierks' grocery on Turk street and Van Ness avenue the morning after the murder. In the liquor portion of the store he saw Hoff, Goepel, the shoe- maker, and another young man. As he entered Hoff made the remark: “It puts me in a very bad position. She was a very mice lady.” Then Goepel said: ““You told me not to speak about it and you talk all the time.” p Witness asked Hoff, “Are you a car- pet-layer?” and Hoff replied “Yes.” “Were you in that house, 803 Guer- rero street, yesterday? "I was there twice,” replied Hoff., Witness then said: “The best thing you can do is to go down to Chief Lees and give an account of yourself,” and Goepel said: “You don’'t have to.” Witness said: *“You will have to. Any one there has to give an account of himself unless he wants suspicion to point toward him.” Then Hoff said “I guess I will.” Witness did not no- tice Hoff’s hands, as he held them be- hind his back. and excited. John A. Frers, grocer, 119 Seventh street, testified to Hoff calling at his store on the evening of the murder. Hoff showed him his left hand, palm of which was cut. him ‘how he had cut it and he repiied that he had picked up a plank from the street, intending to glve it to a family for kindling wood, and there was a rusty nail in the plank, which cut his hand. Witness poured some whisky on the wound and bandaged it. Hoff looked a little paler than usual. ‘William Moh: nn, partner of Dierks, the groc testified to Hoff calling at the store on the evening of the murder and shaking dice with him. Hoff’s left hand was injured and he was going to tell witness how it hap- pened when some one interrupted him. The examination will be continued this morning. OUR MILITARY RESERVATIONS They Are to Be Made Orna- mental as Well as Useful and Healthful. A Recent Order From Army Head- quarters Suggested by the Presidio Post. » The following order, issued from headquarters of the army by direction of Major-General Miles, shows that it is the intention to make the mili- tary posts of the United States places to which the citizens may point to with pride: Military posts, stations and reser- vations have been selected foroccupation by the military forces, not only for im- mediate and temporary use, but in most cases for occupation so long as the Gov- ernment shall exist. The attention of department and post commanders is in- vited to the condition of these military reservations in order that every consid- eration may be given to their care, pres- daughter. He was then forbidden to call again at the house. | When the cross-examination was | concluded May was in a towering rage | grossly insulting. Schooler added fuel | L. W.

They will not only be made useful and healthful to the garrisons, but made attractive homes for the army by every means available for that purpose. Commanding officers are directed to give this subject their ear- nest attention and make requisitions for such appliances as may be necessary in ofier to carry out the purpose of this order. The grounds, as far as practicable, will be improved by utilizing such ma- terial as may be available for the pur- pose. The shrubbery, trees and forests on the reservation will be kept properly pruned, brush and unsightly trees re- moved, vines, fruit and ornamental trees planted and cultivated, and grounds properly ditched or drained.. Live trees in the vicinity of the inhabited parts of a military reservation will not be cut down except on recommendation of the post council of administration, approved gy the post and department comman- ers. ‘When reservations are of sufficient ex- tent, and it is practicable, they will be stocked with game and all native singing birds protected. ‘When required, requests will be made through the proper military channels to these headquarters for supplies of seeds for grass, flowers, vines, fruit and orna- mental trees. This order was undoubtedly sug- gested to Major-General Miles when he visited this city a few years since, and was most favorably impressed with the beauty of the military post at the Presidio, which is admitted by all ‘who have visited the military posts of the United States to be the most at- tractive and well-kept one. The ideas that are expressed in the order have been carried out for many years at that post, and as for game the reserva- tion of which the quarters are the cen- ter of attraction are thick with jack- rabbits, cottontails and quail, while the trees are filled with native song- sters. The place is one of exquisite natural beauty, and to that beauty has been added the work of man. It is one that, while as free to the citizens as is Golden Gate Park, does not re- ceive the visitations that it deserves. It is possible that under the provisions of the order quoted, which was issued but a few days since, many improve- ments will be made on the reserva- tion. . ————— 2ea0808nGAReEA RS S SPHE 4 TO-NIGHT!

In this connection it is said that a price has been placed on the head of some of the Central American Presidents, and that the money is likely to be earned before any fighting is done. The Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany’s Acapuico arrived from Panama and way ports Wednesday, and her of- ficers say that they would not be sur- | prised to hear of a general uprising all over Central America.

Fu- entes is a brother-in-law of Barrios, but strange to say, they are political enemies, and the news of the death of either would not be the saddest news to the other. “We heard in Central American ports that there was a standing offer of $50,- | 000 for the death of Barrios,” said one of the officers of the Acapulco yester- day. “He is well guarded, however, and whoever earns the blood money will have to run numerous risks. There | are hundreds ready to take the | chances, and as soon as the coffee crops | are in you will see that a number of | attempts will be made to take the life | of the President of Guatemala. The leaders of the late rebellion are all | Within striking distance of the Guate- malan frontier, and when their plans . are matured they will make their pres- ence felt. In San Salvador the peo- | ple are also disaffected and they are likely to be in open warfare with | one another before the year is very old. | In fact, things are likely to be very lively in all the Central American re- publics during the next six months. Quite a number of people whose bus- iness interests keep them in Guate- mala have sent their wives and fam- ilies out of the country. Everything was quiet along the coast when we came up, but it is only a question as to when the trouble will begin.” ———e——— . Two Burglars Sentenced. L. P.
