The Ring Touched Up Over the Win | of Strongoli—0’Connell Shows 0ld-Time Form—Dunois a Good Performer. Reopening day at Oakland track was | attended by the usual large crowa of reg- | ulars, augmented by many new faces, { attracted no doubt by the card,which was | an especially catchy one. The wins of | the well backed outsiders, Brown Prince | and Strongoli, to start off with, shook | the ring up, which, followed by the victo- ries of four straight favorites, caused more than a feeling of unrest among the layers of odds. The mile and a sixteenth selling affair was responsible for the prettiest bit of racing seen during the afternoon. The blaze faced Satsuma was installed first choice in the betting, but at post time | Rosinante had been played down to equal | favoritism. Pat Dunne and his following set their checks down on David Tenny, | and only hard luck prevented them from cashing. The outsider Ballister made the running for a short distance, when H. Martin moved to the front with Tenny. He was followed by Jones, astride of Sat- suma, and when the stretch was reached | the pair engaged in a battle royal. Pass- ing the paddock, with Satsuma beaten, Martin failed to observe Thorpe coming | fast on the outside with Rosinante, and | was defeated by a head in 1:46%. Satsuma | was three lengths further away. A very cheap bunch of platers lined up in the opening event, with Gratify closing a 3 to 2 favorite. He ran a frightful race, | never showing a particle of speed. Brown] Prince, ridden by Powell, and 8 and 10 to | 1 in the betting, won easily from Eppin- | ger. The sprint for three-year-olds over the Futur course was considered such a | “moral” for Lavator that the odds against the Jennings' entry fell to 1 to 2 in no time. 1 There was such a well de- fined play on Strongoli that from 15 the price was sliced down to 8 and 10| Bullman got the outsider away first and he fairly rolled in, four open lengths | ahead of the favorite. The other starters did not seem overburdened with speed.. With First Call scratched from the seven furlong run Dunois was sent out a 4 to 5 chance. Quickly showing in front, Ryan's useful horse galloped in first, a couple of lengths in advance of Whitcomb. San Venado came from the rear, taking show honors from Recreation. The old sprinter O’Connell was ready | money in the six furlong sprint that fol- | lowed. With Piggott on hfs back he was | in front almost from the jump, winning | cleverly at the finish from BEtta H. Cyril | was third. H. Martin, on Sly, gave a mis- erable exhibition. In the closing number on the card Ma- | grane's filly Free Lady received most of | the support, and at odds of 8 to 5 won all the way. Meadow Lark, to the delight l - g “'THE CALL’S RACING CHART.

In future the entry of Gratify will not be accepted at Oakland track. The judges so decided after the bad showing made by the chestnut horse in the opening race. The official form book, containing all the races run at both tracks since the opening of the season, and published by the Daily Racing News, was again issued on Saturday. ‘While Johnny Coleman is away duck- shooting, Hughey Jones chalks up prices for the Stuyvesant Club.

Michael Freese, sometimes known as “Balzer,” disappeared from this city four months ago, and nothing has been heard from him since that time. His friends and relatives are mystified at his long absence from home, and are beginning to believe there has been foul play. The missing man was employed for a number of years as floor walker for the Cutting Packing Company, and at the time of his disappearance was working for the corporation, and was considered by his employers as one of their most faithful men. The company has interest- ed itself in an endeavor to locate Freese, and every effort is being made to ascer- tain his whereabouts. On September 25 last Freese went to work as usual, accompanied by his wife. Mrs. Freese went to her husband’s place of business in the evening, and they start- ed home_ together. Freese entered a s: loon on Market street while on the way home, and left his wife standing on the | sidewalk, telling her he would be out in a few minutes. This is the last time he has been seen by any of his friends. She waited for some time, but her husband not putting in an appearance, she went to her home, 5 Harrison avenue, alone. ‘As Freese had been drinking quite heav- ily for two weeks grevlaus to his disap- pearance, his wife thought when he failed to come home that he had gone on a spree; but when several days passed and he had not put in an appearance she be- came alarmed and notified her brother, who made inquiries for the missing man. At the saloon he entered when he left his wife Freese was not very well known and none of the attaches of the place re membered of having seen any one an- swering his description. The family relations of the missing man were amicable, and Le was in good finan- cial circumstances, o0 _his relatives are at a loss for a motive Freese might have leaving the city voluntarily. While they have about come to the conclusion that he was foully dealt with, his friends have not _entirely given up hope that he may be found. They are making every effort to locate him. ——————— CONTRACTORS’ OPPORTUNITIES. Californians to Have an Equal Chance for Government Work. Several days ago a dispatch was sent to ‘Washington by the Chamber of Com- merce asking that California contractors Dbe given a chance to bid for contracts for new constructions contemplated by the United States in the Pacific. Yesterday an answer was received from M. T. Endi- cott, Chiet of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Navy Department, in which he says: It has occurred to the bureau that your tele- gram may have been prompted by accounts of Tecent lettings for work of improvement at Guam, Ladrone Islands. Just before the ex- piration of the last calendar year an effort was made to_contract for some work there in the way of buildings, steel pler, etc., and a few bidders upon this coast were ‘assembled in New York by the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, by telegraph, and thelr proposals recelved. As these were rot satisfactory, all the bids were rejected. It has not yet been decided what step to take in this direction, and If these im- provements are carried out under the direction of this bureau merchants and contractors on the Pacific Coast shall have an opportunity to bid upon them. —_————— Dr. George C.

Three weeks ago he contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia. He ral- lied somewhat from the attack, but the end finally came. ‘Jim” Megannon, as he was familiarly called by his associates, was a genial, whole-souled fellow and hig friends, of which he had a host, are sin- cerely grieved at his demise. He has held various positions of trust in the City Hall and has ever been regarded as honorabie and faithful to a marked degree. He leaves a mother and brother to mourn his loss. He was born in this city thirty-one vears ago. The funeral will take place from the residence this afternoon at 2 o'clock. R b Ladies' tallor-made suits, fur capes, cloaks. Credit. M.

HE MAY MEET JOE KENNEDY JACK BONNER AND MANAGER ARRIVE TO-DAY, The National Club Has Invited “The Only” Tim Hurst to Referee the Preliminary Bouts of This Evening. “Kid” McCoy—the miniature heavy- weight, who, for reasons best known to himself, failed to whip ‘“‘Sailor” | Sharkey—will leave Chicago to-day for eral weeks of glorious climate and in- cidentally reap a few dollars by the powers of his fists. McCoy, in a letter to a friend, stated that he did not expect "to get on” a match with any of the enterprising heavy-weights of Frisco, but that if who aspires to championship form he (McCoy) may be induced by a little coaxing to put on the gloves again. | Doubtless a twenty-round contest be- tween McCoy and Joe Kennedy may be arranged. It will be remembered that Kennedy was matched to fight Jim posed match fell through because Jef- fries recently accepted a very flattering offer from an Eastern club to fight Champion Fitzsimmons. Kennedy has been training several weeks for the match and is consequently out in | pocket. However, if some enterprising | club should arrange a bout between the coy McCoy and Kennedy it would | certainly “pull” a large gathering of ring patrons, as there are thousands of sports in this city who are very anxious to see the artful “Kid” in fighting ac- tion. MeCoy is expected to arrive about Saturday next. Jack Bonner and his manager, Bo- gan, will arrive this evening. Bonner will doubtless be matched to *fight George Green; that is, unless the last- named fighter is still desirous of a much needed rest. The National Club has completed all arrangements for its entertainment this evening. Latest news from the train- ing quarters of the men wio are book- nell and Neill are both in fine condi- tion and that they may be counted Tweedie has been slightly under the weather for some days past at his training quarters, which are located at the Six Mile House, as the result of { an unexpected meeting with Professor La Grippe. His trainers contend, how- ever, that the “Cocker” is physically able to go a hard race and that he will give a first-class account of himself when he meets Charley Tye. “Jockey” Maynard and Willie Cole are both anxious and ready to open fire and their friends do not hesitate to say that their bout will be the most entertaining feature of the evening. Jim McDonald will referee the McCon- nell and Neill contest and Tim Hurst has been invited to pass judgment on the Tweedie and Tye fifteen round bout. The National Club has announced that with the exception of a few choice seats the reserved seats have all been pur- chased. RELIGIOUS CHANGESVOF THE PAST CENTURY UNITARIAN CLUB HEARS MANY VIEWS EXPRESSED. Jew and Christian Hold That the Tendency Has Been for a Gen- eral Broadening Out. The Unitarian Club held its regular meeting and dinner at the Merchants’ For some time past it has been customary to have discussion on current topics of political significance, but last night saw a departure from the usual order, and the discussion was turned on “The Religious Situation at the Close of the Nineteenth Century."” Rev. J. T. Sunderland of Oakland opened the discussion by telling of the religious condition in India, the birthplace and home of the oldest religions which have lived unchanged to the present day. “Asia,”” he sald, “is the mother of re- ligion and sacred books, and India is the heart and intellect of Asia. Its inhabi- tants are great thinkers, and they think mostly on religious subjects. Hindooism or Buddhism is the great religion of India and is interwoven with the history of the country. Next comes Brahmanismg a foreign religion. Its followers are a superior people, inteiligent, independent, but unprogressive and opposed to any- thing and_everything contrary to the Koran. The Christianizing of India_will be brought about by three things: Eng- lish civilization, now, rapidly spreading; Indian reform movements and missionary work.” Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger then spoke on religlous progress from the Jewish standpoint, and the wonderful change ef- tectetf in the condition of the Jew in the past century. In that time he has been given a home, his rights are recognized, he has lost the hunted look which once was a mark of the Jew, and is settling down to broader ideals and a comfortable home in America. Rev. Charles R. Brown of Oakland con- sidered the ‘“Growth, Changes and Pros- pects of the Orthodox Churches.” Briefly summarized his opinions were that the old orthodoxy is dying away in the broader light of a new and advanced religious era. attention to dogmas than ever and preaching _Christ's message of the brotherhood of man and universal love. The evening conciuded with a brief his- torical review of the century’s religious changes by Professor Clyde A. Duniway of Stanford University. He said that the past century was essentially of Pro- testantism—not anti-Catholicism, but that Protestantism which is rejecting forms and stumbling xocks and allowing of a freedom of growth. Rev. W. B. Geoghegan of Berkeley was to have spoken on the “‘Basis of Hope for Religious Unity,” but was unable to be present. Sheldon D. Kellogg, president of the club, read a letter from Rev. Horatio Stebbins regretting his inability to be present. ————————— POOLSELLERS’ TECHNICALITIES The Trial of John Smith Again Postponed on Defense’s Motion. The fates seem.to be against the pros- ecution of John Smith, a clerk of H. Schwartz, charged with violating the pool-selling ordinance. Last Friday ob- jection was taken by Attorney Lonq’, for the defendant, against the venire being issued for Police Court No. 4, instead of the Police Court of the City and County of San Francisco, and the objection was sustained.

Judge De Haven Decides That the Steamship Must Pay Damages. United States District Judge de Havon vesterday decided in favor ol" the com- plainants in the case of Benjamin F. Gray and others against the steamship presi- dent, and referred the matter as to the amount of damages to Court Commis- sioner Manley to ascertain and report upon the same. “._.e complainants alleged that the dé- fendant had entered into a contract with them, on the payment of $15_each, to carry them from St. Michael to Unalaklik | in Alaska, but had refused to allow them to land at that point and had carried them to San Francisco agalnst their pro- test. They alleged also that they had received bad food and accommodation, and the skipper lacerated their feelings by swearing at them. Judge ‘de Haven decided that the last two allegations had not been established by the evidence, but that the defendant | had violated the contract by not waiting at Unalaklik a sufficient length of time to enable them to make a landing. e e Stood Up by a Highwayman. John Hyland, while on his way home at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, met a bold, bad highwayman on Mission street, near Twenty-first, who ordered Hyland to throw up his hands and then dealt him a blow on the side of the head with some blunt instrument, which knocked him un- | consclous for the time being. The foot- Ie‘ad then left him lying on the sidewalk.
