Special Dispatch to The Call. | SACRAMENTO, Oct. 1.—The closing day of the California Jockey Club’s | race meeting at Agricultural Park was | attended by only a fair crowd. A | paucity of horses prevented a higher- class card being offered race-goers. But two favorites—Tiburon and Miss Divi- | dend—were successful. Roadwarmer, P | F and Ko Ko scampered past the . | Judges first, none of them neglected by | the aristocratic set. | " The biggest plunge of the afterncon and the most disastrous one on the ‘bettors‘ was the play on Toribio, one of a trio of starters in the six furlong selling spin, second on the rogramme. | With Etta H scratched a contingent of wise ones backed Toribio from 4 to 1 | down to even money. The odds against Zarro receded to 4 Ames, on P F, having received a warning from the stand, his mount won all the way, reeling off the distance in 1:14%. Frawley, on Toribio, took the worst of { the break at the start, and was beaten | for the place. The talent was down “good and thick” on Trappean to win the opening scram- | ble at five furlongs, but Roadwarmer | was sent away in the lead, and at the wire won somewhat easily from the | favorite by a couple of lengths in 1:02%. Lady Ashley, at present several pounds | her best form, was a falr third. | Barney Schreiber had speed, but bled n | from the nose. Tiburon, which had in former races shown to good advantage with inferfor riders on his back, had Thorpe up to- | day, and was the whole thing in the | two-year-old dash at four and a half The younster's odds were pounded down from 8 to 5 to even money, and he was out in front all the way, winning easily from Crossmolina. The latter openéd favorite, receding to 8 to 2. Correct took the show from Rear Admiral in a drive. George Snyder, with the leg up on the | even money choice, Miss Dividend, landed the fourth purse.” The distance was six furlongs, and the filly was in | the lead the entire route, winning all {out by less than two lengths.

OLYMPIC LIGHTWEIGHTS DEFEAT THE FRESHMEN STANFORD, Oct. 1.—To-day the fresh- men lined up before the Olympic light- weights, and went down before them to a score of 11 to 0. The lightweights played a quick snappy game throughout. On the very kickoff the -ball was Te- turned by the Olympics, and Keller, their quarter, scooping it on a fluke, carried it through for a touchdown. Later -Mc- Neven repeated the act. Then the fresh- men began to hold and gain ground. They fought hard for a-goal, but were unable to_score. 4 ““With two minutes to play the ball lay on the Olympic's three-yard line.and it seemed at last the “‘babies” were to have their way. % ' Then came a play and stand down on to .the gridiron and fi\r many games would have caused a free fight. On the third down with nothing but to save them. the freshmen scoring X reached the goal line. Immediately the Olympics claimed the ball on downs, While the others held that .the ball wa: for a touch down. After a hot discussion the ball was given to the Olympics, and they held it till the whistle blew. The line-up was as follows: ; Stanford. Olympic. Positions.

JEALOUS OF "HIS SUCCESS TWO OF THEM SUSPENDED FOR FOULING. Sympathies of the British Sporting Men All on the Side of the Premier Jockey From the “nited States. Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Oct. 1.—The talk of the sporting world is the incident of Thurs- day, when, at Newmarket, two English rivals of Tod Sloan, “Sammy” Loates and “Nat” Robinson, tried to hustle the American jockey out of the running in the welter handicap. M#ndorla finished first in that race, which was for 100 sovereigns at seven furlongs, being a neck ahead of Kirschwasser, ridden by Sloan. But an objection was lodged against Mandorla for boring. This was sustained and the race was awarded to the horse ridden by the American Jockey. N There is no doubt that bitter jeal- ousy has been aroused by Sloan among the English jockeys, who are aghast at his phenomenal series of wins. He started on Thursday with eight wins out of sixteen mounts to his credit, and he finished the day with eleven wins out of twenty mounts as his record. There is no exaggeration in saying that this caused a genuine tempest of surprise and admiration in sporting cireles. The mere fact that Sloan rides a horse, however mediocre the animal may be, gives it short odds in the bet- ting. In the selling plate yesterday Sloan set the pace from the beginning, and though Eau Gallie seemed an easy win- ner, he beat The Wake, ridden by the American jockey, only a head. The fates seemed against Sloan in the Rous Memorial stakes yesterday. Landrail bolted and got away badly and it look- ed like a sure win for Quassiel, ridden by Canlon in a confident manner, but the American jockey on Landrail man- aged to accomplish another. sensational finish and won the race. o The attempt to oust Sloan on.Thurs- day was made when he was descending the bushes hill. Robinson, who was rid- ing the favorite, Loggan Hall,:can- toned on Kirschwasser. "Sloan: kept his seat, but Kirschwasser lost his balince and was passed by Mandorla, ridden by Loates, who immegdiatély after. on: the run home swerved to the right, taking Kirschwasser, who was close :behind, the result being that Kirschwasser lost by a neck. But Sloan was not yet beaten, ard his first- words on returning to the-weighing room were: - “Say, where's the:objection ‘room?” The upshot of the matter was:that Loates . and . Ribinson -were summoned before the stewards of ‘the Jockey Club, who disqualified :Mandorla -and : sus- pénded . Loates. from ‘riding until the Houghton ‘meeting and cautioned Rob- inson. % ¥ The sympathies: of the British. sport- ing :men-are all -on the side of Tod _Sloan and ‘the. English newspapers warinly applaud ‘the-prompt aetion of the Jockéy Club. One paper.says: “We invite foreigners to enter their horses in English Traces,. we! welcome thém on our différent eourses;-and the same generous hand should be extended to the jockeéys; no-matter whence they come: It is gratifying to_ see that the stewatds’ will :not wince at.shady.con-~ duct upon the part. 6f even a fashion- able jockey.liké Loates. It would be ‘| far better for some’ of our riders to Aimitdte to a certain.extent Sloan’s style than to attempt by unfair means- to jockey him out of a win.” = THe suggestion that the English joek- eys imitate Sloan’s riding has .already. been. anticipated by -a leading .English jockey, Madden who wor the Triennial stakes on Thursday in Sloan’s style, with the saddle .placed well -forward and finishing on his horse’s neck. The successful North -County jockey, Wel- don, is also adopting the American’s style of riding. 3 A ‘An important meeting of the Jockey Club this week considered the question of short distance races, the inereasing number of which, it was contended, was causing degeneration of the stamina of thoroughbreds and converting the horse into a mere instrument for-gaming. The Jockey Club decided that half the total amount of the added money at races of a mile or over for threé-year- old and upward and that half of this money shall be devoted to races of over a mile and a half. It was also agreed that prior to June 1 of each year there shall be no two-year-old race. of great- er value than 200 sovereigns. 5 SIYS THE FIGHT Emphatic Statement of * ‘Manager.

Two voung girls, sisters or schoolmates, assume the re- sponsibilities of wedlock at the same time. They are egually young, equally fair. They walk ‘in. even step “with Time for a féw years and then they are so different in appearance that they ‘might pass. for: mother and daughter instead of women of equal age. As a matter of fact Time has no fa- . vorites; - he is kind to those who are kind to themselves. The younger look- ing’ woman will ‘tell you she does not krow -how it is that .she keeps her .youth -and fairness, she uses no cos- metie, no powder, no paint. The woman who looks so much older will say, “I'm obliged to use paint and powder, I have to cover up my yellow skin and hide ‘thge. wrinkles.” If you probe a little deeper.-into the secrets of these women you will-find that the youthful one has learneéd - ‘that the best cosmetic - is health;, and that there can be no gen- eral health for the body which is hour- ly ‘undermined by the local ill-health of ‘the delicate female organs. Know- ing this she has taken prompt means to cure the disagreeable ~drains, the bearing-down . pains and the inflamma- tions and ulcerations which to a greater or less extent affect most women Who experience . the . tremendous change which by marriage and motherhood 'is wrought on the distinctively feminine organs. The. older appearing woman will tell you the common story of constant and useless doctoring for backache, for fe- male weakness, for debilitating drains. Inflammation lke a fire burns up her strength. - Ulceration like a leech saps her vitality. Nature cannot make a bright eye and a pure complexion with- out rich, pure -blood. This woman’s blood flows sluggishly along the canals of the body, like some oozy, slimy cur- rent, whose motion barely keeps it from utter stagnation. 3eauty. is eyery woman’s birthright. A healthy woman is always beautiful. This secret of health and beauty for every woman lies in the recognition of the plain truth that where there are local diseases of the organs distinctively feminine, there can be no health and beauty while these debilitatifg, Ilife- sapping ailments continue. “But,” comes the natural question, “ican these diseases be cured?” It is no wonder women ask the question in view of the failures of ordinary practi- tioners. Hundreds of thousands of such cases have in the past thirty years been referred to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief con- sulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., and although. the majority are chronic cases . aggravated by injudicious and ignorant treatment, yet the great re- cord stands that of thousands of such suffering women - ninety-eight out of every hundred have been entirely cured. The two in every hundred, whose cases could not be cured, have received alleviation and help which made them lastingly grateful. These cures have in the main been effected by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription. * This great medicine is the specific of a specialist who has given over thirty. years of his life to the study and cure of female diseases. Its effect upon the delicate female organs is most ‘marked. It puts out the fire ‘of inflammation - as heaven's" rain ‘quenches. thé fearful forest fire. It heals ulcérations as gently and as sure- 1y .as.time heals the wounded spirit— . healing every day and all day and every night and all night. It'dries up disagreeable drains. It imparts vital- ity- and- elasticity to the organs of ‘motherhood, ‘€0 that baby enters the world easily and gently as the sun- beam: he resembles. ~ It establishes: the ‘gengral health, and restores to woman heregfrthrigm: the lithesome form,: the laughing. face, the :loving heart, the lustrous eye -of healthy, happy woman- hood. < e i ¥ 1 feel it-a duty to Inform. you that I Had been a sufferer for many.years from . nervousness - with. all its symp- _toms .apd complications,” writes Mrs. 0.

After taking one bottle and aged that I took ‘five mare bottles of ‘Favorite Prescription’ and then I did not take any more for several weeks, as- I felt so much “better, but still T was. not.completely cured. TI. com- menced taking it again and felt that I was improving faster thap at first. "' I am. not now cross and irritable, and T .| have a-good color in my face; have also gained about ten pounds in wéight and one -thousand pounds of comfort, for T am a.new woman once more and your advice and your ‘Favorite Pre- scription’ are the causes of it, coupled with your ‘Pleasant Pellets,” which are not to be dispensed with. T took eight bottles of the ‘Prescription’ the last time, making fourteen in all, and will not take any more unless you so ad: vise, for I do not see as I need it. I have often told my friends how I was cured, and haye been no Ilittle sur- prised to learn how many of theni have also used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription with great benefit. I have induced several to try it.-and have heard that thev were much pleased with the results.” The record of such cures is unim- p .achable, as is the fact that they have been enjoyed by ninety-eight. per cent of the women who have tried Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Presctiption. Any sick or ailing woman can consult Dr. Plerce by letter without charge. By this method there is- no subjecting of Fisher,. 1861 ‘Lexington avenue, [ In| following .your advice I was so-encour-- 9 " DR.. PIERCE’S REMEDIES the patient to the embarrassing ques- tions, offensive examinations, and ob- noxious local treatments which frighten So many modest women away from the door -of help. You can write freely, frankly, fully, keeping nothing in re- serve, because your letter will be read in private and all its confidences will be held sacred. You can write without fee as without fear. - There is no alcohol, whisky or other stimulant in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription. It is equally free from opium and all narcotic drugs and preserves its virtues in any climate without the aid of syrup or sugar. The cure of Mrs. Fisher was accom- plished by the use of Dr. Plerce’s Fa- vorite Prescription. Her cure is but the type. of hundreds of thousands. If you want a like cure you’ll find it in “Fa- vorite Prescription” only and not in a substitute. -If you want a cure you don’t want a substitute. You should make any substituting dealer see that as you see it. A keen observer of human nature re- |‘cently sdid: ‘I mistrust the druggist iwho endeavors to dissuade me from buying the medicine f had in mind on entering his store. My fear is that he may change my doctor's prescription to make it better suit his convenience and se..ish interests.”. The moral is, patron- ize the dealer who respects your judg- ment and gives you exactly what you call for. Those who use Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets find them superior to all other pills in their action upon the stomach, liver and bowels. They should always be taken, when indicated, with the “Fa- vorite Prescription” as they harmonize with it and promote its operation.
