4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1898. RACING BEGINS AT THE STATE FAIR Well-Contested Harness :Events. DOLLY D TAKES THEOCCIDENT FILLY OUTFOOTS HER FIELD IN STRAIGHT HEATS. Belle W, at Long Odds in the Bet- ting and Driven by an Ama- teur, Proves the Surprise of the Days Bpecial Dispatch to The Call SACRAMENTO, Sept. 5.—The Golden Btate's greatest show, her State fair, was opened to the usual first day crowd this afternoon under most favorable auspices. The weather was of the. sort that turf- men say best suits the racing horse. It was what Sacramentans would call “nice,’ but the temperature makes a San Franciscan yearn for the cool breezes which boom off the bosom of the broad Pacific. The track was perfection, and the order in which the horsemen found it can be better judged when it is stated that a trotter in the 2:17 class (Prince Gift) went the circuit of the mile course in 2:12 flat—and it was his first race this season, too, The win of the amateur driver, Wempe, with his Belle W, was the sensation of the afternoon, and the cheers that rent the air showed that there is lots of true gporting blood coursing through the veins ot California horse-lovers after all. Dolly D. a daughter of Sidney Dillon, from the Santa Rosa stock farm, cap- tured the Occident stake in straight heats for the Messrs. Pierce. The winner's share was $1660. Ed Lafferty drove the good looking bay filly, and he never left the issue in doubt. Prince Ansel, how- ever, made the fayorite go the last heat much faster than she did the previous ones. After Dolly D had proved her supe- rlority in the first event carded, not a favorite finished in front. Five books were on, the slates reading J. C. Hum- hrey, Schwartz & Co., Phil Archi- gnld & Co., the Brooklyn Club and the Buffalo Club. The judges were J. W. ‘Wilson, who acted as starter; Dr. Mat- thews and Adjutant General J. W. Bar- rett, the timers; ex-Senator Frank dc Long and Al Leach. C. A. Neal's band of soloists discoursed some very appro- priate and clever pleces of music, and the opening was voted to be ahead of that of most years. To-morrow the gal- lopers will have their inning, and a large crowd 1s expected to be on hand. Among those present to-day were: “Plunger’” McManus of San Francisco; Directors Fox and Chase, the latter look- ything but well. Murry’s Raclo pulled up lame yesterday after a fast workout, but it is thought the lameness will not be per- manent. Dolly D was thing” for the whispered about as a “sho’ Occldent stakes and before the first heat the quotations on the five boards of the bookles were: Dolly D, 2 to 5; Lynhood, 3 to 1; Maud Washington and Prince Ansel, 4'to 1 each: George Buckman, 5 to 1. Maud Murry had been scratched and Dr. Frasse excused on account of lame- ness. After three scores ihey got away to a fair start, Lynhood leading Dolly by a length as starter Wilson said “go,” and by two lengths passing the quar Dolly D got on even terms with the Lyn- mont colt when they had gone a trifle over three furlongs, and was never there- after approached, winning with ease by SCORING FOR THE WORD “GO” IN THE OCCIDENT STAKE. four lengths from Prince Ansel, who assed Ls'nhood about a sixteenth from home and under the whip beat him_ out two good lengths for the place. Maud Washington was a distant = fourth and ;sg:rge uckman an awful last. Time, 253, They went away on the third score in the second heat and it was a good send- off for all but George Buckman. Dolly D passed Lynhood when they had gone about a furlong, Prince Ansel breaking on the first turn and Maud Washington go- ing up at the quarter pole. Here Dolly D was first bf' good two lengths. She was eight lengths to the good at the half, twenty at the three-quarters and won with ease by ten lengths. Prince Ansel trotted rings around all the others after he had straightened out his tangle, and, assing Lynhood once they were in the Romestrel(‘h, was second &t the finish by ten lengths, Lynhood third, ten from Maud Washington, who broke again three furlongs from home. Time, 2:26. Before the third and final heat the odds were: Dolly D, 1 to 7; Prince Ansel, 3 to 1;4 &ynhnod and Maud Washington, 25 to 1 eorge Buckman, 50 to 1. ey were O on the second score to a fine start and Dolly D was closely pressed by Prince Ansel past the quarter. The favorite then drew away until at the half she was two lengths to the good, Prince Ansel second by the block firom Market to Mission street, Lynhood third. Dolly increased | her lead to four lengths and when Prince Ansel danced a short jig on the last turn | she went on and won the race, jogrdni,‘ by twenty lengths, Prince Ansel second, | more than three times as far from Maud | Washington, who did not beat Lynhood much, ime, 2:21. The winn owed her abllity to go close to 2:16 if Prince Ansel had had a few speed linas left. The entire stake (the Occldent) was worth $2525, of which the owners of the Santa Rosa Stock Farm ;M cl\'hl)se colors Dolly D trotted) received | 1660. |~ The three minute class trot, mile dash, | had seven starters, and the closing prices were Bonsaline, even money; Phoebe Chil- ders, 3 to 2; Mamie Riley, 4 to 1; Bertha R and Sibyl 8, 6 to 1 each; Aggregate and Joe Selby, 10 to 1 each. To a fair start, after a few scores had been indulged in, Joe Selby, who had the pole, went to the front, leading past the quarter and half by three lenmths, Bertha R and Phoebe Childers close up at the quarter. Bonsaline trotted very fast golng from the quarter to the half, taking second | place three furlongs from home. She led into the homestretch by a small mar- (gln. Joe Belby having made a bgbble. oming around the last turn Mamie Riley came very fast and improved her posi- tion in the homestretch. When Bonsa- line broke a furlong from home Mamie Riley shot to the front, and though the | favorite was making up ground at a great | rate when she got straightened away, Mamie Riley won the race by a length, Bonsaline second by _three lengths, Ber- | tha R (driven by “Dick” Havey) third, | Phoebe Childers fourth. Time, 2:18. This was a very pretty race, and while per-{ | haps the best horse did not win, there | | were thirills of excitement in plenty of it The 2:17 class trot, third on the pro- THE CALL'S B STATE FAIR TRACK, SACRAMENTO, Sept. 5, 1898.—First day of the State Fair Races.

Rect was scratched on account of an Injury he received several days ago. They got away nicely after scoring a few times and May B led Prince Gift by over a length at the quarter and by a scant length at the half. Nearing the three-quarter pole the Salinas gelding, Prince Gift, passed to the fore. In the homestretch Dona- than set sail with Lou, but she could never get up, Prince Gift winning by not quite a length in game fashion, u sec- ond eight lengths before May B. Dexter D was distanced. Our Jack was pocketed and his driver evidently came to the con- clusion that there were other heats and other days. The time, 2:12, first half in 1:06, marks a fast heat. Before the second heat was trotted Lou ot to be an even favorite with Prince ift, both going at 7 to 5, Our Jack at 2 t0 1, others 12 to 25 to 1. 'To an excellent send off Prince Gift led all the way around by from one to three lengths and won handily by two lengths in 2:1434, Lou gécond, two and a half lengths before Our Jack, who made up eight or ten lengths from the half-mile ground. May B was far-away fourth. Time, 2:14%. This %Jttled it, Prince Gift getting first money, u gecond, May B third, Our Jack fourth. There was 8kcitement, amusement and surprise over the outcome of the fourth event, which was won by the 12 to 1 shot Belle W, driven by G. Wempe, an ama- teur driver and well known as a manu- facturer of paper boxes in San Francisco. Lady Margaret and Mia Louise alternat- ed in the lead to the homestretch, Here Mia Louise, three or four lengths to the good, gave an imitation of a clog dancer, and got very tired in so doing. empe’s mare came like a shot from a Mauser rifle, and amid great enthusiam she won by three lenfths from Lady Margaret, a who beat Mia Louise by a longer dis- tance. Time, 2:16; first half in 1:06. Topsy J danced a couple of disastrous jigs, which accounts for her bad showinf. The last race was a mile dash for 2:18 acers, and eleven came up for the word. here was a fair ‘go,” and Diawood made every post a winning one, finishing first easily by four lengths. Dictatress second, five lengths before Munyon, who had been third ail the way. Charley Dana broke in the first quarter. Time, 2:14%.

Specfal Dispatch to The Call, CINCINNATI, Sept. 6.—In calling the National Convention of the Middle-of- the Road Populists to order, J. A. Parker of Loulsville, secretary of the Reform Association, strongly advocat- ed independent action by the Populists, whether at this convention or at some future time. Ignatius Donnelly was chosen tem- porary chairman and made a most rad- ical speech. He referred to Grover Cleveland as a traitor to the Demo- cratic party and Senator Butler as a traitor to the Populist party. Mr. Don- nelly advocated the reorganization of the Populist rty on the line of the Middle-of-the-Roaders, as indicated in their conference at Omaha last June ;n]d again at Nashville, Tenn., last uly. The usual committees on credentials, resolutions, rules, order of business and permanent organization were appoint- ed, after which a recess was taken un- til 3 p. m. The afternoon session disclosed many differences between the middle-of-the- roaders, who were denouncing fusion- ists as demoralizing. They were united on the subject of such a permanent re- organization as to prevent fusion or desertion hereafter and an independent ticket for 1900, but there were wide dif- ferences to how to prevent ‘“‘fusion desertions” and how to name the can- dlg‘;tes. " 9 e question of proxies is on ‘which control of th nvention hl’ng%: and it was pending when the conven- tion adjourned till to-morrow.

MANY EXHIBITS IN PLACE SCOTTS DISPLAY MODELS OF FIGHTING CRAFT. Large Collection of Attractive Works by Pacific Coast Talent Shown in the Art Gallery. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO. Sept. 5.—Amid song and music the forty-fifth annual State Fair opened to-night under most au- spicious circumstances. A large crowd was present and listened with rapt at- tention to the varied programme. Never before did the pavilion present such a gala appearance. From the rafters hung the flags of the nation, while the walls were decorated. with bunting and shields bearing the arms of the United States. The programme was opened by the band, which is under the direction of Charles A. Neale, playing “Hail Colum- bia.” Then followed an overture, Bergmann's “Traum’” by C. Kerssen. Robert Schumann sang with consider- able effect the “Cradle Song,” and was followed by the O'Malley Sisters in thelr clever dance. The next number was the Fest march from “Tannhauser” by the band. Messrs. Keller and Lindemeyer played a cor- net duet, which wi usiastically received. The singlng of “America™ by the spectators concluded the even-/ ing programme. There are already in position-a num- ber of fine exhibits. It is expected that all the exhibits will be completed by ‘Wednesday. The Union Iron Works of San Francisco has about completed its exhibit of models of cruisers and bat- tleships which were built at the works. The models are complete in every de- tail, and will no doubt excite consid- erable interest. One of the leading attractions is the art exhibit. Deputy Superintendent Stanton, who is in charge of the gal- lery, has exercised considerable judg- ment in arranginz the exhibits. There are more pictures this year than there were last year. The absence of several well known artists will be severely felt by the art-loving public, which ex- pected to see their work on exhibition. Among the familiar exhibitors, how- ever, are Yelland, Raschen, Cadenasso, Partington, Cucuel, Chittenden, Mer- ton. Heath, Bloomer, Hubacek, Xu- neth, Latimer, Gamble, Best, Latz and others. Raschen exhibits a number of very fine pictures which he has recently painted. One of these is the figure of a woman standing by a window in an old-fashioned kitchen. On the window sill are some vases holding cut flowers, and the woman is pouring water into one from a pitcher. The background of the picture as seen through the win- dow shows a building with quaint-tiled roof, surrounded by trees. The pic- ture was painted from sketches made in Munich, and the artist’'s wife is. said to have stood as a model for the figure. Another excellent thing by Raschen is a nude figure of Eve, done in pastel and exquisitely framed. The figure lies upon its back, the long hair form- ing protection to the body from the cool green sward. One knee is drawn up and one hand extended holds a lusclous apple. The attitude is one of abandon. The flgure is about two-thirds size. The frame of this picture was designed by the artist. The prevailing colors are green and gold. In one corner a model of the apple stands. out of the frame, and'ln another corner a model of a ser- pent. Another picture by Raschen which is atuzcung considerable attention is that of a woman in the act of feeding pigeons. She stands under a trellis supported by adobe pillows, and is surrounded by dense follage of vines, trees and plants. Yet another picture of his, which seems to be admired by connoisseurs of art is that of a monk picking flowers in a corner of the mon- astery garden. At his feet is a water- ing pot, and over the top of the wall rises the belfry of a church. The vege- tation is semi-tropical the subject un- doubtedly having been taken . from some old California mission. Among other pictures is a canvas of full blown roses by Hickok. Yelland has a picture of Popendrecht, Holland, in which there is an old windmill and farmhouse with a sloop moored along side. In the foreground 1is a marsh, and the sky.is overcast with clouds. Yelland has also a pretty picture of the shores of Monterey. J. R. Dickinson has a plcture of a Japanese girl standing in a bed of pop- pies. Jannevoid has a picture of the Yosemite. Best has a picture of the seacoast lashed by waves. Mrs. Mar- tin has very pretty tapestry, showing a girl swinging in a swing of a morning glory vine, with two cupids hanging to jit. Bloomer has a picture of a moun- tain lake. A storm is coming up and a man is pulling his boat on to the beach. Mrs. C. Roundey exhibits some charming still life bits— A study of Lady Washington’s” and “A Bunch of &8:%." Her landscapes are attrac- Miss Martha Johnson's Mission Do- lores shows both careful handling and serlous study. Others of this artist worthy of mention are “A Study of a Girl,” “Popples” and “Violets.” The “Spinners” by Miss Nora G. Cashin is a quaint study of a lady of the olden time. The figure is well drawn and the-coloring ood. “A Mem- ber of the Choir,” “A Berkeley Oak’ and “A Spot 2 i pot in Bfivedm are by the < | Price, SECRET WORK OF THE COMMISSION Planning for the Future of Hawaii. FIRST SESSION AT HONOLULU TOUR OF ALL (HE ISLANDS COMMENCED. Policy of the Government Outlined in Speeches at a Mustering Out Banquet of the Sharp- * shooters, BY HORACE' WRIGHT. Bpeclal Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, H. I, o Aug. 22.—The longreeslomu Commissioners have already commenced their secret sessions in the Hall of Representatives. All connected with them are pledged to inviolable secrecy, but none the less they are affable gentlemen, and in thelr outside converse permit people to be- come impressed with the assumption that all will be well with Hawali—now under a much more liberal form of gov- ernment than some of the newspapers | of the mainland led us to hope for. The Commissioners are accessible to all, ir- Tespective of previous conditions or pol- itics, and are evidently desirous of be- ing individually informed as to the true condition of the’ country, socially, in- dustrially and politically before calling for public expressions of opinion or settling down to the chamber work of drafting the laws. This afternoon they leave by the steamship Claudine to Visit the islands of Maui, Hawali and possibly Kauai. Commissioner - and Chief Executive Dole will not accom- pany them, but the Attorney General and Mr. Thurston probably will. Col- onel John Richardson and J. M. Kan- eakua have been selected by the Ha- walian Patriotic Leagues (male and female) to travel with the party and to cause all Hawaiians, members of the affiliation, to pass in mass meeting resolutions accepting annexation and asking the Commissioners to grant to all former Hawalian citizens, whether by birth or adoption, equal rights as to the most favored -citizens; in other words that no special legislation against Hawalians shall be enacted, and that in the event of the privilege of the franchise being given to any cit- izen they shall be equally entitled to the same privilege. On Saturday evening Harold M. Sew- all, ex-United States Minister, and Mrs. Sewall gave a public reception to the Commissioners at their beautiful seaside residence at Waikiki. " At the table of honor, among the 120 invited guests and members, sat Cap- tain Dodge, supported on his rigl.t by Chie” Executive Dole and on his left by ex-Minister Sewall. With them were ex-Hawaii Ministers Hatch and Thurston, Colonel Fisher, Major Lang- fitt, the Attorney General; United States Consul General Haywood, Colonel Frober, N. G. H. all of whom, with Senators McCandless and ‘Waterhouse, ex-Hawailan Charge d’Af- fajres Castle, Captain Kidwell, Cap- tain MecStocker of the Citizens’ Guards, Representative A. N. Gear and others, spoke well and eloquently. The en- thusiasm was naturally frantically in- tense, but not indiscreetly or bragging- ly so. There was still aloha left for the old Hawaiian flag and the spokesmen were all nobly generous to their de- feated foes.. At the conclusion of this memorable banquet I requested President Dole to be good enough to inform me whether 1 might with propriety and correctness assert in The Call that the policy of his Cabinet, his friends and himself before the Congressional Commissioners would be based upon the lines of “equal rights for all,” as enunciated by Ex-Minister Thurston, and he gave me full permis- gion to so state, adding, however, that much would necessarily depend upon the attitude assumed by the Hawali- ans and anti-.anexationists them- selves. If they would come in and act friendly all would, he thought, be well, but if they stood aloof and acted an- tagonistically they would have only themselves to blame if thev did not ob- tain all that thei- true friends wished to give them. 3 The Tacoma, with horses and mules for General Merritt’s army, arrived yesterday evening. The animals ar- rived in good condition and with but very few losses. The animals will be turned out for a week's pasture.
