The card for reopeneing day, with one exception, was a speckled one, and the attendance was not large. The favorites were in fine form, capturing four of the six purses offered. The only event possessing any sem- blance of class was the mile and a six- teenth run, in which La Goleta conceded weight to such shifty performers as Top- mast, David Tenny and Hugh Penny, and gave them a drubbing. The Baldwin mare was a 1 to 2 chance in the betting around post time, and was never headed at any stage of the running. Spencer sat on her back and she led Topmast over the line more than a length, in 1: With the weight up David Tenny found the sport too hot for him, but managed to get the show from Hugh Penny. Pat Dunne started his fast youngster Ailyar in the opening event at seven fur- longs, for two-year-olds, and considerable speculation was indulged in as to whether he could negotiate the distance. Start- | ing a 3 to 5 favorite, he set all doubt at | dale secured the place from the wretched- ly ridden Los Medanos, which had evi- | dently undergone the canning process. The fastidious Bernardillo, the wizard horse of Jimmy Coffey’s barn, again gave the talent a frightful walloping.

United States Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday rendered an opinion in the case of Alphonzo B. Bowers against the San Francisco Bridge Company. The decis- ion is in favor of Bowers and enjoins the defendant, and indirectly all others, from | using the dredgers of the Schwartzkopff | patent or any other patent using the Bow- ers idea in hydraulic dredgers. The original bill was filed on March 21, 1803, for infringement of Bowers’ letters pat the first dated May 26, 1885. The [iter letters patent were on a_dredging machine, and are dated May 31, 1887; June 7, 1887; November 8, 1887, and October 18, 1802. Bowers in the bill alleged that prior to December, 1878, he was the first and original inventor of certain new Inven- tions in dredging. In 1856 English letters atent were issued to Mr, Schwartzkopff Fm‘ an improved dredger. Tn rendering his decision Judge Morrow said that the improved combinations of Bowers' invention rendered dredging so expeditious and _superior over former methods and devices that he is entitled in the patent law to the position of *‘plo- neer in the art of dredging”’ unless it be clearly established by the defendant that the SchwartzKopff patent of 1836 compre- hended the same idea;and was So far de- veloped at that time that it was to all | intents and purposes or could have been | cal and successful invention. “Another feature of the case,” continued Judge Morrow, “bonrh\i upon the Schwartzkopff patent which militates, in my judgment, against the practical utility of that invention is that it does not ap- pear ever to have been used. While a failure to put an invention to use may not | be conclusive evidence of its inutility, still it is a circumstance to be considered as agalnst the practical utility of a machine. | Having determined that the Schwartz- | kopff patent does not anticipate the Bow- ers inventions and that none of the other letters patent introduced by the defendant anticipate the Bowers patents, the conclu- sion logically follows that Bowers, upon the evidence presented in this case, has sustained his claim as the pioneer inven- tor in the art of dredging and that he is entitled to a broad and liberal interpreta- tion in the construction of his claims. He is therefore entitled to treat as infringers all who employ substantially the same means to accomplish the same resuits, notwithstanding that the subsequent ma- chine may contain and does contain im- provements In_ separate mechanisms Which go to make up the machine. The machine of the defendant does infringe.” The court thereupon issued a perpetual injunction against the defendants and issued an order for an accounting for damages sustained by Bowers by the use of the Schwartzkopff machine by the de- fendants, ; A kimilar opinion was rendered in a similar case of A.
