SEVERAL CASES ARE NOTED OUHINOOK’S VICTORY OVER {HE BRITISH CRACKS. Future of the Mighty Hamburg, California Race Meetings—Gcs~ sip of the Turf, 2 Notes, Ete. California climate is certainly great for race horses. Candleblack, a Candlemas colt brought out here to race last winter by B. J. Johnston, was so much benefited by *“the glorious” that he graduated from the selling-plate class into the stake and was purchased by W. H. Clark of Sara- toga last week for $6000. The same gentle- man also secured the chestnut colt Ban- aster, by Farandole-Blessing, therefore & half-brother to the frequent winner, Montgomery. Elidad, who could not win here last winter, has captured two races at Hawthorne this week. Martha was so improved by her trip to the Golden State that she beat the best stake horses at Chicago and Saratoga, and was sold re- cently by Tom Griffin for $4000 to ex-Sec- retary of the Navy Whitney. Many other almost similar instances could be cited of the wonders California’s climate has worked on beast as well as man. Ahom, the strapping Sir Dixon colt that won at Saratoga on the 12th for *‘Pitts- burg Phil,” is a half-brother to the fa- mous Ben Brush, winner of the Kentucky Derby. Mrs. Byron McClelland’s colt, His Lord- ship, worked six furlongs over theSheeps- head Bay course late last week in 1:14 flat, with about 100 pounds up. His frac- tional time was :23%, :48, 1:01 and 1;14. In consequence he is considered to have great chance in the Futurity, richest o all two-year-old stake events. Chinook, a well-named three-year-old filly, by Sensation, from Breeze, wWon the Nassau Stakes at the recent Goodwood, England, meeting, beating the 1000 guinea winner, Nun Nicer, Orpha (by Orme) and five others. As the American representa- tive was backed from 6 down to 4 to 1 the party is su%wsed to have made a neat clean-up. esides, the stake was worth about i‘l' . Eau Gallle, who ran in Richard Croker's colors for some time, won at Goodwood for Mr. J. O’'Nell, and changed hands at 200 guineas. There is I-rucucall)’ no betting on the St. Leger, t being conceded that nothing in the stake has a chance to defeat Jeddah, the Derby winner. Hamburg is not going to England or | any other country to race, as several am- transpires that Trainer Wllliam Lakeland believes the colt would not stand training | much longer, and now that he has demon- | strated to the public that the famous son of Hanover is a stayer as well as a sprin- | ter, the horse goes to end his days at the Bitter Root stud, Hamilton, Mont. Mar- | cus Daly has on that place the finest col- lection of English mares in America. and with these the mightv Hamburg will_bo mated In 1899. Trainer Lakeland and Mr. Daly never had any idea of sending the colt against Ornament in a match race, averring that while the four-year-old is undoubtedly a good horse, he has been beaten too many times to make it any | great honor for Hamburg to defeat him. | A Chicago paper says: “Willie Sink Jr. sed $12,500 for Formero, is unde: going treatment at the hands of a Madi- son-street phrenologist.” Next Saturday, the 20th, troting-pacing meeting b ohly are the best J»erl’ormer: at present in California entered, but there is a lot of “raw material” to be sprung on an un- suspecting public, of which much Is_ex- At Sac- who refu the Santa Rosa egins, and not too, and the runners are there in | ones, One of the best meetings in great force. ciety is expected.

Anaconda’s showing in the 2:08 pace at Columbus on_ the closing day was a glorious one. The Sacramento gelding won the first heat in 2:061, lost the next two, then won the fourth in 2:07, the last heat in 2:08. Of the Oregon pacer Chehalls the Buffalo Horse World corre- spondent sald regarding his race gn the last da; “His second mile in 2:04} is the fastest race heat for either trotter or pacer this season. He showed great- Iy improved form over that of last week at Cleveland, and will be one of the hardest of the pacing brigade to beat for the remainder of the year.” Directum Kelly had little trouble in the 2:24 trot, and trotted the fourth heat in 2:13% over a soft and sticky track, this being one of the best performances of the year, Last week he won easily at the Fort Wayne (Ind.) mpcllng, The great Bearchlight was beaten at the Portland (Me.) meeting by Roan Wilkes, who stepped off the three heats in 2:048;, 2:07%, Keating belng sick, Ben Walker was called upon to drive Bearchlight, who was beaten a length in the first heat, a good deal more than that in the second, and more than a length in the last. Those were the three fastest heats of the season. Nico, the son of Arion, 2:07%, and Mag- ie Sullivan, by Sultan (California breed- ng), is a great trotter. At the Portland (Me.) meeting he beat the superb Eros mare Drone, who took the second heat in 2:10%, in 2:09%, 2:09%, 2:11%. Stam- boulette, by Stamboul, was third, and Sidney, fourth. Verily Cali- fornia made a showing in this race, in which there were thirteen tsarters. Nione is the fastest four-year-old trot- ter ever bred in New England.

The Weather Bureau service here is ex- periencing quite a shaking up. Alexandei McAdie, who has been for three years the local forecast official at San Francisco, assisting Forecast Official W. H. Ham- mon, leaves to-day to take the chief posi- tion at New Orleans. The official rank of the weather service is not generally understood as well as the disfinctions of shoulder-straps. A forecast official is a sort of division com- mander. Thus, Mr. Hammon bosses all the weather in California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. A local forecast offictal is not supposed to know enough to foretell the weather outside of his town and {m- mediate vicinity, regarding which he ves supplementary tips, as does the fel- Los Angejes. In practice the local forecast official at San Francisco is an assistant forecast official and takes his turn at the whole fleld. Mr. McAdie thus takes charge of the division of the Gulf and enjoys & promotion in rank. His place here will be filled by George H. Wilson, who has been an observer here for séveral years and whose ability has earned his promotion to local fore- cast officlal. Mr. McAdie has managed the climate and crop service here and will be succeeded in that work .y Observer H. E. Smith, who is transferred from Los Angeles. —_——— HOLY CROSS FAIR. Preparations for Raising Funds for the New Parish Church A large and very enthuslastic meeting of the ladies of Holy Cross parish was held last evening In the hall adjoining the church on Eddy street, to make arrange- ments for the falr which is to be held at Native Sons’ Hall next October. It will be for the purpose of raising funds for the new church which is now in course of construction. The old building, which is at present used for services, has the distinction of belng oftener christened and remodeled than any church in the United States, or possibly the world. It was first used by the parishioners of St. Patrick’s, and lo- cated where the Palace Hotel now stands, Afterward it was put on rollers, named St. John's and erected on Eddy street, near Octavia. Lastly it was moved to the present location in Holy Cross parish, where it was agaln rechristened and called after the parish it served. Rev. John F. McGinty, the popular and energetic pastor, who has guided the des- tinies of the parish from its inception, presided last evening. He told those as- sembled that the undertaking was com- menced owing to the exemplary and largely Increased congregation, the old building being quite inadeguate to accom- modate the worshipers. He also congrat- ulated the ladies on thelr efforts to help along the new church, which, with its massive pillars and ’stately’ columns, would, when completed, be a grand monu- ment to the Almighty God as well as one that the parishioners as well as the citi- zens of San Francisco should feel justl proud of. The reverend gentleman state that when the new edifice is finished, which he expected would be some time next spring, the old church would be used as a hall for the parish, where it will finally rest and be a landmark for the ploneer church of the secular clergy as the Mission Dolores is of the regular or- ders. lslsnyor Phelan will open the fair, which will commence October 18, and will con- tinue for two weeks. The various booths will be of the most artistic_designs and John W. McDonald of the Young Men’s Soclety sald the ladies of each booth would have “an_evening at home,” and would give a hlgle interesting pro- gramme of vocal and Instrumental musfc; that an excellent orchestra would appear nightly. The League of the Cross Cadets will also_assist. The ladles of the different booths re- ported the recelpt of innumerable articles of value, from pincushions to houses and lots, also antique relics, for all of which chances will be sold. Mrs. Spottiswood has a dagger which was found in Clontarf in 1798, be! ntg on the !glol where the great battle was fought in the eleventh century with the Danes, in which the famous Irish King Brian Boru was slain. It is a coun- tezsmrt of instruments used in those days, and was exhibited at the Archaeological Soclety in Dublin for many years. Mrs, Regan has a piece of the stone from the high altar of the grand old ruin of Holy Cross Abbey, the historic seat of learning of the Franciscans in Ireland. There will also be interesting souvenirs of the naval and land batfles of Manila, in which many of the sons of those taking part in the falr were engaged. Mrs. Dunn and Mrs. Hannigen will have booths, and Mrs. Cassasa will preside over the re- freshments. They will serve a fine lunch each day at popular prices, during which time no tickets for chances or soliciting ‘will be allowed. The names of other ladies who will have charge of booths will be published later. —_————————— Good Work of Father Moeller. Father Moeller, S.

Upon_the conclusion of this new ef- fort, Father Moeller will leave for St. Louls, where he will be installed in the Jesuif College as an_instructor of the Fathers of the Third Probatio —— ———— Ukiah and Return $2.
