Track Notes. Racivan had taken the opening event, Barney Schreiber, in talking about the horse, sald “there must be something { wrong in my stable.” The St. Louis pen- cller's castoffs certdinly do show marked | improvement as a rule, and all agreed | with him. Trainer Billy Randall is certainly en-| | titled to much credit for the manner in | which he sends his horses to the post. | Tammany Hall II was fit to run for a| kingdom, and in bis hands Miss Rowena | | has been a veritable wonder. So, too, with | Ostler Joe, which will always be remem- bered as one of the most consistent horses | ever raced in this State. | Frank Van Ness stood to make an old | fashioned clean-up with Midas. The old | | horse was backed from 100 down to 30 to |1, and after the race Frank said if he | had finished first instead of second he | | would have cashed $5000 worth of paste- | | boards. ! | Merry Boy was one of the warm ones {of the afternoon’s sport.

Time; | YACHTSMEN HOLD ELECTION. Commodore Hill’s Sloop Will Be the Flagship of the San Franciscos. At the annual meeting of the San Fran- cisco Yacht Club, held on Wednesday, nearly forty members were present, more | than usual interest being taken in the | election of officers. The opposition ticket, | with Dr. A. W. McKenzle for commodore, | L. A. Haven for financial secretary, Isidor Gutte for treasurer, and Matthew Turner | for measurer, the rest of the nominees | belng the same as on the regular ticket, | received a few votes, but the regular tick- et was elected by a handsome majority. The success of the Corintnian Yacht | Club is largely due to the fact that no liquors are allowed to be sold or kept for sale on the club premises. A. Schober’s yawl Pinta, which was tly raffled and won by E. F. Sagar, owner, of the sloop Edna, has been sold.

Ladies’ Bmdigép_D;ubles Tourna- ment and Some Hot Matches During the Week. The ladies’ tournament, doubles handi- | cap, which was to have been played on the California Club courts Wednesday last, was begun but, owing to the failure of several teams to put in an appearance, it was postponed a week. The first match between Miss Elsie Clark and Miss Bow- man and Miss Opal Pierce and Miss Ada Clarke was won by the former team in two stralght sets, the score being 6-3, 6-2. Miss Clark and Miss Bowman gave their opponents 30 in every game and found no difficuity in defeating them with that heavy handicap. The other teams entered for_the tournament which will be played on Wednesday are: Miss Hunter and Miss Fisen, Miss Edith Chesebrough and Miss Ruth Foster, Miss Helen Chegebrough and Miss Eckart, Miss Bacon and Miss Lacy, Miss Deane and Miss Palnter, Miss Sandman and Miss Lola Davis. This list comprises the great majority of the youn, lady players of the California Tennis Clul and with the handicaps allowed should insure closely contested matches. During the week some very interesting matches were played. The Whitney . | brothers have been battling one another being | i hot singles, George winning the major- ity of sets. Murdock, the Alameda piay- er, visited the courts, and, joined with George Whitney I‘?la{'cd a very hot match against Robert N. Whitney and George Bradshaw. The first set was a lengthy affair, the score 14-12 showing how even- 1y matched the teams were. This set and the second also went to George Whitney and the Alamedan. In a three handed game George Brad- shaw bested Bliven and Root, 6-4, 7-5. Bliven and Root then went at a singles contest which lasted all afternoon, the majority of games being attached fo the former’s credit. Daly beat McGavin, the elder, 6-2, 6-4.

Boat Clubs Are Repairing Damages or Devising Improvements. The South End Rowing Club's barge Felton is still at Rogers’ yard, Alameda. The new seats, oarlocks and other repalrs will almost make a new boat of it. | Last Sunday afternoon there was ai good attendance of members at the Dol- | phin boathouse. Both the racing barges | were taken out, the new one manned by C. Roach (bow), J. 8. Earls (No. 2), Dr. Axton (No. 3), Willilam O. Patch (stroke) and Dr. Hill (cockswain). The old one carried J.

Sensational Interrup- . . tion of Wedding $Enels Festivities. LADYS MATHENEY, who per- G sists in calling herself Gladys De- martini, is out again with her handy little shotgun, and conse- quently Victor Demartini, officfal Italian interpreter of the criminal courts of this city, has been obliged to apply to the po- lice for protection. For the past three years Gladys has ap- peared with success in the character of Demartini's nemesis. Five revolvers that added much to the dramatic effect of the lady’s role are now in the possession of the interpreter, and the manner in which they came Into his keeping will figure among the thrilling hairbreadth escapes in the Demartini biography. About a year ago Demartini had the winsome Gladys arersted and charged with assault to murder. That charge, which still hangs over the Matheney head in Judge Low's court, was the means of securing for the Italian gentle- O+©46 + 4D+ O+O+ OHD+O + C+OD+ 4@ (02 202 202 202 202 20 404040+ :rlmn a brief respite from shotgun atten- on. On Thursday last Demartini was mar- ried to Mrs. Mary Berpieri, heiress of the late Luigi Brizzolara, and one of the not- ed belles of the Italian colony. The occa- slon of Demartini’s wedding was the cu for Gladys to reappear on the scene o action, and the resuly was a badly fright- ened bride, an irate bride, m and sub- sequently an appeal to the strong arm of the law for protection. Demartini, who admits fllicit relations With he woman in the past, made the following explanation of the unfortunate persecution he has suffered at her hande. “For the past three years, in fact, ever since I have tried to sever my connections with the woman, she has followed me and threatened me. 'During_that time she at regular intervals was lavishing her at- tentions upon Swotzel, the Mayor of E: reka City, and it was her boast that she had relleved the gentleman of $40,000.

I seized the weapon from her and subsequently had her ar- rested for assault with a deadly weapon, of which offense she was ad“xdged guilty and sentenced to three months' imprison- ment. Since then she has made several other attempts on my life, and a charge of assault to murder is now hanging over her head in Judge Low's court. For a little while Gladys ceased her ob- hoxlous attentlons and I concluded she had returned to Swotzel, whose friend she has been, on and off, for the past two years. “On Thursday, February 2, I was mar- ried to Mrs. )z;ry Bernleri, and on Sun- day we celebrated the happy event by a banquet at the home of my mother on Green street.

BOYAL COURSING EVENT. A Titled English Gentleman Is Ex- pected to Attend the Ingleside Meeting of To-Day. It can be safely sald that lovers of coursing who will attend the open stake meetings at Ingleside Park to-day and to- morrow will not regret the fact of being present to witness the sport. A better card than that which will be scanned to-day by Ingleside Park leash- men could scarcely be got up if it were known that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales should happen to be present at the meeting. But if the Prince cannot possibly attend, owing to the dls- tance between points and other and more important engagements which will detain him in old England, it is understood, nev- ertheless, that English royalty will grace the Ingleside Park grounds this after- noon. Report says that Lord Beresford, who is at present enjoying our glorious cli- mate, will doubtless witness the races at Ingleside this afternoon. Lord Beresford is a fond lover of coursing and takes much pleasure in witnessing the game whenever the opportunity presents. Count von Halpin has been delegated a committee of one to receive his Lordship should he put in an appearance at the royal gates of the park this afternoon. W. E. Thompson will introduce another one of his string of breadwinners to-day. His new charge is named Lowlander Prince, by Charley-Princess Fullerton. Thompson will be a very surprised man if Lowlander will not do equally as good running as St. Orion. James Byrnes has two very handsome youngsters entered In the stake. Thef' are by Sly Girl-Westside. If blood will tell the Byrnes string should run well up into the stake. T. Cooney expects to see his performer, Blackhawk, bowl over some of the old dogs to-day. Blackhawk has just passed out of the puppy class and will doubtless win his first all-age course. T. A. Gaffney is positive that his dog Sir'John Arnot will surprise some of the natives this afternoon. Sir John has had & well-earned rest, and is now feellng as fine as a fiddle.

A. Vanderberg expects that if American Bagle cannot whip every dog he meets he will at least scare the speed out of some of -his opponents when he scoops down on his prey. J. Keenan’s Royal Buck and Flyin, Buck are sald to be In good form, and | the report circulated be true they will cer- tainly throw grass in the faces of the | dogs who will oppose them to-day. They are both royal veterans of the sward. The imported dog Interestum will be watched closely this afternoon. It is sald that he is rapidly rounding into form and will cut a dash if conditions are at all favorable. Tommy Hall, the prince of the Merced | coursing fraternity, will put in an appear- ance at Ingleside to-day. Tomm{, dropped into town yesterday to see his many friends and incidentally to learn how the “grip” was affecting them. The following communication to The Call from the executive committee of the Ingleside Coursing Club speaks for itself: SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 189, Sporting Editor of The Call—Dear Sir: In last Sunday’s issue of the Chronicle there ap- peared an article in which it i8 stated that it was possible that the California leashmen would all combine and throw over the Ameri- can Coursing Board and conduct their business on the coast altogether by combining with the Ingleside people. Now for the information of these le 1 can’ state_with certainty that ihe Ingleside Coursing Club will continue to run under the rules of the American Coursing Board in the future as it has in the past, and if the Union Coursing Park people have any grievances against one or two members of the board that shall not constitute any reason why the Ingle- side_people shall take their fight on their ands. It seems very pecullar now that the Union Park_people should at this late date try to | overthrow the American Coursing Board, which is composed of gentiemen who have de- voted years of experience in handling this grand old sport and who have certainly formed a code of rules that no fair-minded man can find fault with, Another thing I wish to say is that the Union Coursing Park people have always been stanch adherents of the American Cours- ing Board. Now what has caused such a change of sentiment? «Is it because of the rule | that they have adopted to prevent the owners of greyhounds from entering their charges un- der kennel names? Then, If this i§ the cause, let them form their own' rules and run under them. There is no owner of greyhounds who does not know full well what thiskennel business means, and if continued how detrimental it certainly must be to the smaller owners of, say, one, two or three dogs. The advancement of cours- ing under the rules of the American Coursing Board on this coast has been far above the expectations of even the most enthusiastic. Respectfully, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, Ingleside Coursing Club. e COLLEGE BASEBALL. University of California Will Play To-Day for the First Time This Year. Track athletics are for the present shelved at the universities until the base- ball season gets well under way. Last Saturday the Stanford nine played the Fireman's Fund team, and were defeated by a score of 4 to 0. The Firemen are the strongest aggregation the college men have had to meet in several years. In order to secure good .practice, this nine was organized with the best material available. It is not a professional base- ball team, but a number of the men en- listed in its ranks have played profes- sional ball. This afternoon the Fireman's Fund will line up against the University of Califor- nia team. It will be the first game played by the blue and gold this year, and should form a basis of judgment in a comparison between the two college teams. Stanford has the making of a first-class team, and is_in better shape at present than their adversaries across the bay. The game this afternoon will be played on the Uni- versity campus. The teams will line up as follows: Fireman's F. Positions. California. Krug or Moskiman. Kaarsberg W. Hammond. V... Smith or Seootioalies Handball Sport for Sunday.

ARRIVED ON AMERICA MARU DID NOT KNOW UNCLE SAM WAS IN ACTION. Were on Their Way to Washington, but Are Now Undecided. Bold Fighting Talk. Two Filipinos arrived in this city yes terday afternoon on the America Maruy, They came here with the original inte tlon of joining their three companions who preceded them to Wahington as en issaries to this government, but since they have learned what happened to their i advised countrymen they are undecided what to do. They are General E. Riego de Dios, whose title is General of Division of the Philippine army, and Senor M. Riviera. They were unaware of the trou ble until they were informed of it by th men on the pilot boat outside of the heads and were dumfounded at the informag tion. Riviera, who is a yvoung man of 26 and took the second degree in high school in his native land, speaks English quite flu- ently, though with a marked Spanish ace cent. As soon as he realized the full forcq of the news, he said: “Well, I am very sorry the conflict h been precipitated. I was in hopes t nothing of the kind would occur il w had finshed our mission to the United States Government. But what has been done is done, and I suppose it will seriou ly interfere with any negotiations we may have had in mind. General Dios and 1 were with the other three commissioners, but we remained at Yokohama on account of sickness, and were to have joined our friends in Washington.” When told that the others had taken refuge In Montreal they again expressed astonishment and were anxious to kr whether there was any danger in their r. maining on American territory. On being assured that they were as safe as thoug they were In their own land, they pressed gratification. Vhen they reached this city they we to the Palace Hotel and {mmedy missioners. They went to both offices, but there were no dis they seemed to be much disap though they attributed it to tr the steamer had arrived one d schedule time, and by to-day t instructions from their companion will shape their future movement The news of the terrible loss su: by their people must have com stunning effect on the two Filipino; they appear to be entirely nonplused, as i not_quite assured of their security. Ac- cording to Dr. Farrell, who also retur on the steamer and conversed wi viera on the vi over, they h changed considerably in their demeanor. Riviera was emphatic in his declarations at that time that the commission, of which he was a member, was going to de- mand independence from the Government at Washington. ; “We will fight to the death,” said Ri- viera, “for I tell you we Filipinos know how to fight. We want to be free just as you are in your country.” During the interview Riviera translat- ed the conversation to General Rios, but the latter was particularly reticent and made very few comment ve Nicknames of the men in the Cali- fornia regiment, in next Sunday’s Call. —_— e ——— A Japanese Holiday.
