THE F RANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1898 L INISHING OF MARKET STREET 1S DEMANDED Citizens Want Bitu-| ‘men to Valencia. TO GOLDEN GATE PARK! SUPERVISOR LACKMANN TALKS' FOR PROPERTY-OWNERS. | n AL He Declares That There Is Money ! ‘Wasted That Would Eas- 3 ily Pay the 1 Cost. ' 1 \ The "announcement made by Street| Superintendent Ambrose, in an interview In The Cz terday. that he should ad- vise the Supervisors to suspend bitumin- ous paving operati on Market street beyond Sixth because of a scarcity of funds was the occaslon of much surprise on the part of citizens generally and caused considerable adverse comment. The majority of taxpayers have all along favored the repaving of Market street with bitumen throughout its entire length and have preferred to give this fmprove- ment precedence over others as one of the most needed at the present time. Tho supposition has been general that, with the street appropriatior » as last there would be sufficient money to Market street out to Valencia to bituminize the connecting side so as to form a continuous out to Gate that the erintendent an entirely different view of the matter has, therefore, bcen received with many expressions of as- | tonishment upervisor Lackmann, when he heard | position of Superintendent Am- » matter, was not slow to ex- pinion of his own. “I don't aid he, “why Market strect : with bitumen out as far p here ought to be enough money in the street fund not only to do | the work but to carry out other pro- jected im ments.

Only a few days ago 1 was talking with a prominent druj glst on Market street, and he expre Dis belief that property-owners and ten- ants all along the thoroughfare were nxious not only to have the repaving with bitumen carried out as far as Va- lencia street, but that they wanted to _have bitumen lald on those connecting cets which form a continuous line of | out to Golden Gate Park. This said he had talked with many othe: business along Market street and ‘every one was of the same mind. They all wanted the bitumen out to the park for business reasons. ‘Make a fine drive, a smooth, noiseless thoroughfare, from ‘the foot of Market street out to the park.’ said he, ‘and it will tend to de- Velop business by centralizing travel along Market streot and the connecting streets. 1, for one, stand ready and will- ing to subscribe money out of my own ocket If necessary in order to get the | {tumen out to Valencla street and also drugglst n to the park. Others are willing. It merely & good mercantile proposition. Trade and traffic will follow those streets which_are bituminized.

Mr. Dug; ays Them Both on the Griddle. | Rev. W. Dugan. in a. sermon | preached last night at the Stewart Me- | morial Second United Presbyterian Church on Guerrero and Twenty-third | streets, touched upon “political bosses.” | His text was taken from Matt. xvii:l4, In part he said: 2 “‘As Peter, being on the Monnt of Trans- figuration, éame down to the multitudes. 0 the political bosses, pretending to come from the Mount of Transfiguration in political things, are bringing us schemes and theorfes as to how we should vote in order to drive the evil from our lives: but do you ail understand what the | “single-tax” means? It means a revolu- | tion of our social and_financial systom: it means a different foundation for our Sovernment. But whether such a change would be for better or worse I want you, at intelligent voters, to post yourselves by reading good authorities for and against the single-tax system. ‘A subject that should be taken up by our political parties is the subject of tramps, this great horde in our land who seem to think that respectable peopie were created for their speclal benefit, These are the social nuisance in the world to-day—more threatening than the liquor traflic. Begging has become a paying pro- fession with them because of peoples’ generosity.

SARAH A SMART YOUNGSTER CREATES A GOOD IMPRESSION ON HER FIRST CHASE. A Number of Long Cours Wit Heavy Betting, Enliven the Leashmen’s Sport—Big Day at Ingleside. The greyhounds from the kennel of Curtis & Son carried everything before them in the open stake at Unfon Park yesterday. Rosette, Cavalier and McKinley, all representing the leashman from Santa Clara, worked thetr winning way into the fifth round of the stake. Rosette met Van Cloie and sent her to the kennel, thus leaving only the three dogs representing Curtis in for the stake. The final was not run, first, second and thir money being taken by Curtis. The short-enders were successful in the first three courses of the day, Lightfoot putting out Sweet Lips with odas of 5 to 1 agwnst him; Black Pattl same with Magnet, and Jersey Lily de- feating Rusty Gold, the odds bein« 1 to 1 a against, Affer that the favorite themseives, the only short-ende being Laurelwood and Van Cloie. to win The supling stake developed a new won- der in R.

She lowered her colots to T. H. Rosseter's Rollicking Alrs ifi the final. Coursing men predict that she will be heard from again. As the programme was shortened through the final of the open stake being omitted, an elght-dog consolation was ar- ranged. R bud and Lord Scattercash were the first brace sent to the slips. the latter winning after course. The final was between Jersey Lily and Trinket. The course proved a heavy betting affair, Trinket being installed a slight favorite. The hare favored the Lily, and she won, much to the joy of the short-enders. It was announced that J. H. Rosseter’s For Freedom and Cur & Son's Rosette would meet in a spec match, two out of three courses, next Sund. The de- talled results follow: apling stake, second round—R.

A grand day's coursing was afforded yesterday at the Ingleside Coursing Park. The rain of the night before put the ground In ideal condition for the hounds to show their speed. The Champion stake was won by the | well-known bitch Patrla, who has just | rounded into form and she made a fine showing. The runner-up was that good bitch Soubrette, the property of D. Shannon. She was in fine fettle and showed the careful training of Trainer Lynch. She stood a good chance to win the stake, but in running a bye with Royal Buck, previous to the finals, she had & sever grueliing and her owner de- cided to withdraw her as she was in no condition to run. The stake accordingly went to Patria, who earned all she won. The betting public played every course in a lively manner, but the short-enders were the fortunates, taking home all the money. In one instance flve short-end- ers won In rapld succession. False Flat- terer was out of condition yesterday and was retired In the second fies by Patria by a score of 12 to 1. Mira Monte, run- ning under the same owners name, was also defeated handily by Soubrette, showing that it takes careful training as blood to win. Sharkey was the idol of the short-enders and made a number of grandstand runs, but eventu- ally met his defeat as far down as the fifth ties. Golden Russet and Mountain were both withdrawn early in owing to the long courses that they had run. The latter dog ran a course lasting over thrge and a half min- lzjstes, 4}8lent|n‘ Royal Prize by a score of to 19. The results were as follows: Second Round—W.

GOSSIP OF THE SPEEDY GALLOPERS The Meetings at Los Angeles. NO DEARTH OF GOOD RIDERS RILEY GRANNAN REPORTED BROKE AND IN DEBT. h; California Horses Finish One, Two, Three at Gravesend — Retire- ment of . L. Frank of Butte. The scene will shift from Sacramento to Los Angeles next week, and the meetings in the Angel City wiil last for about three the first ten days of racing being under the auspices of tne Los Angeles Falr Assoclation, the last two weeks under that of the California Jockey Club. Saturday, October 29, the racing will be- gin at the Oakland track, and an effort 4 | Will be made to race a month there and a month at Ingleside, the clubs alternating in this manner untll the racing season 1ds on the 1st of May. The indications are that the coming m: ngs will be fuily doing the | s good from a racing standpoint as those that preceded them, If, indeed, they are not better, for Pat Dunne, kugene Leigh owners of gallopers that were not present last win- ter have expressed their determination to come out and tempt the Goddess of For- tune to cast & sunny smile upon them. As to the riding talent, we shall greatly Tod Sloan, Wilife Martin and “‘Long Shot” Conley, but M. Turner, the brothers Reiff, Sims and Doggett are likely to trip to the Golden State, and 0od pilots are almost sure to be developed. J. McDonald and Spencer, born in this State, have turned out won- derfully well—in fact e regarded as stars of the addle—and with Clawson, Piggott, Thorps Skeets” Martin, Hen- nessy and others mentioned there will ve no dearth of pigskin talent. There were seven books on the first day of the Sacramento meeting, now in pro- ‘most of the California bookmakers now in the State. With George Rose, represented by two books In the big ring, Barney Schreiber with two, Eckert & O'Neil, Willlam Jack- man, Joe Rose, William_Kitch, Elie Per- les, Hugh Jones, John Coleman, Jim Da- vis and perhaps George Walbaum, Leo Mayer and Joe Uliman, there will bé fuuy twenty books in operation when the first bell rings. As to the horses that will be here to compete for the stakes and purses, one an only speak in a general way. Last year there were cloge to 1100 in tralning at the two tracks, and there is no reason to suppose we will see a smaller number this season. California-bred horses ran one, two, clifcking Atrs beat Santa Ana; | three in a mile and a half hurdle race at Gravesend track September 17. They were Tantris (by Imp. Sir Modred-Sister to Jim Douglas), Manchester (by imp. Sir Mod- | red-Parthenia), and Governor Budd (by Fresno-Rosa B). All were bred at Rancho del Paso, too. There were nine in the race, but these were the only Califor- nians. Among the horses owned by R. F. Meyers, ruled off at Chicago recently tor gaud in the Tusculum case, was Dayton tar, a three-year-old, sister to Burns & Waterhouse's ~ grand' horse Mt. Mc- Gregor I1. Sugar Foot raced in Callfornia in Barney Schreiber’s colors, won recently over the Fort Erfe track. It {s stated on the very best of au- thority that “Plunger” Riley Grannan is not only “broke,” but in debt to the ex- tent of thousands of dollars. “Pltts- burg Phil" is the only plunger that the bookmakers haven’t been able to sepa- rate from his coin in a tussle lasting a 800d many years. Hundreds have gone up like a sky rocket (in @ financial sense) and come down like a hundred pounds o EHH}', but the ex-typo of the Plllsbllrp dispatch doesn’t seem to ‘'go broke’ worth a cent. Those In a position to know declare that “Phil” s worth a good half million of Uncle Sam'’s shining silver dollars If he's worth a copper cent. Tt is doubtful if he ever 11 operate in Call- fornia again, for he swore off” on the Golden State's racing game the last time he was out here—‘‘out and Injured.” to He wrestled with the rizzly three or four times and ruin had the best of the ar- T.. has California each time gument. Johnny Campbell, who trained H. Frank's horses here last winter, reached Hawthorne with a strin, of twelve gallopers, which he leased of Mr. rank. Sgeflklng of H. L. Frank, he is perhaps the heaviest loser in the racing game In the country, and it was rather expected he would retire from the turf when the end of the Anaconda meeting came. And he would have been a winner if he had confined himself to betting on his owngallo ers, which had considerable class. But if most any owner of a *‘dog’ thought he “had a chance” he would go at once on a hunt for Mr. Frank, who would bet anywhere from $250 to $2000 and *“split it in two” If the flyer hap- pened to win, which it seldom did. The result was therefore to be expected. The wealthy Butte man! got tired and dis- gusted with ‘“‘the game” and doubtless curses the day he became a lover of the sport of kings. While it will probably never be known just how much Mr. Frank is behind over his turf specula- tions, it is hinted that $150,000 is not far from the mark—this in a little over a short vear's time, too. Among the most successful players in the country this season is Harry Kall- man of this city. He is over $20,000 to the 0od since the mectings ended here last ay and Is now the owner of eight gal- lopers, among the number Miss Tenny, a frequent winner. He i§ also the pos- scssor of a_brother of Zampost and a brother to Perhaps. Socialist Meeting. A. H. Sanborn of this city spoke on “Reform and Reformers” before the So- cialist Labor party gathered together at ‘Washington Hall Jast night for discussion and lectures. Mr. Sanborn, after a short historical synopsis of the reform move- ment in polltics and sociology, treated of the big social reformers, comparing their methods and successes. ADVERTISEMENTS. .
