Up to that time only seven innings were played, the score being to 5 in favor of San Francisco. Umpire O’Connell's decision met with disapproval by a large crowd of “fans,” who followed him to the train, expressing their opinion of his decision. The game was well played, although Santa Cruz suffered ome handicaps. In the third inning Pace had to retire owing to an injured hand, Strieb taking his place behind the bat. In the seventh Donlin was ruled off the dia- rr{omi because of interference with a pla Donlin protested that-the umpire had not ruled a San Francisco player off, although the latter had held First Baseman Clark’s hands to prevent him from throwing to the man at third base.

California Cricketers Defeat Pacifics After a Close Struggle. Yesterday the Paclfics met the newly | organized California ericket team for the first time. The Pacifics went to the bat first, but none of them except Myers and Simmonds (the former of whom scored | 28 and the latter 16 not out) made any stand against the bowling of Cookson and Sloman. Three wickets were down for 45 runs, and the innings closed for 5 Of the Californias, Dickenson, who scored 42, was the only batsman to make double figures, and the innings ended for 63 runs. Sewell bowled well for the Pa- cifics taking five wickets for 34 runs. On golng to the wickets for the second time only Myers and Simmonds made any stand against the bowling of Cookson, who took.five wickets for 3 runs, or an average of three-fifths of a run per wicket. ‘When six wickets had fallen Captain George Theobald declared the innings closed, the total for both innings being 92 runs. California thus had 30 runs to make to win, and succeeded in doing so for a loss of four wickets. California thus won its first match of its season, and the Pacifics lost their second..

SR BIG DAY FOR SHORTENDERS PERTUCL JOHN GRACE ENGAGED TO SUC- CEED JUDGE BULL. iy (O, He Forsakes Ingleside for Its Rival. Santa Ana Dies Suddenly in Her Kennel After Finishing a Course. —_— Connemara won the open stake at Union Coursing Park yesterday afternoon in the presence of nearly 4000 spectators, the runner-up being Log Boy. The lat- ter, who won his preliminary courses in a creditable manner, although slightly favored in one or two instances by the hare, was clearly outclassed in the final course with the black dog, who was a 6 to 1 favorite. The fact that Connemara was the stake favorite was one of the few examples of sound judgment exhib- ited by the talent during the day, for the short-enders got the flag with distressing regularity in the preliminary rounds. iue first course of the day proved to be a regular Waterloo for the favorites, no less than twelve short-enders displaying winning form, while in the succeeding courses the average of wins by the rear guard was pretty well maintained. Commodore Nash was the first to upset the calculations of the talent, defeating Lawrence, a 5 to 1 favorite. For Glory, at 1 to 5, beat Victor; Las Palmas, at 1 to 4, beat Rollicking Airs; Rosie Clair, at 8 to 5, beat Kid McCoy; Flying Faster, at 1 to 6, beat Lowlander after a “no go Soubrette beat Emin Pasha at 3 to Maori Land, at 3 to 5, beat Battleship; Firm Friend, at & to 5, beat Petroniui Miss Skyrocket, at 1 to 5, beat Golden Russett; Lady Emma, 3 to 5, beat Patria; and Santiago beat Minerva, 4 to 5, all in the first round. A stiff breeze swept over the field and through the grand stand to the discomfort of the spectators. The hares did not take kindly to the wind, |and the courses as a rule were short, | but the sport was nevertheless exciting. John Grace, judge at the Ingleside Coursing Park, has entered into a con- tract with the Unjon Coursing Associa- | tion whereby he is to act as judge at | Unlon Park, negotiations to that end, | which have been pending for some time past, having been consummated. The an- nouncement was made yesterday after- noon. The exact date when Judge Grace | will assume his official duties is undeter- mined for the present, but a decision will probably be arrived at some time this week. Judge Bull's contract with the sociation does not expire until the 1st of September, but he has expressed his desire to return to his home in England, | and it is possible that he may take advan- | tage of the present opportunity, in which | event Judge Grace 1 soon be seen on the field, where he is sure to meet with a warm welcome. James Grace has been engaged as slipper. Santa Ana, the promising young bitch | owned by R. E. deB. Lopez, died sudden- ly in her kennel a few minutes after be- ing brought in from the field after course with Log Boy. A rumor gained | circulation that she had been poisoned, | but there geems to be no ground for such | an assumption. Mr. Lopez took Santiago | into the slips, and when he returned Santa Ana was dead. She was about 19 months old, and was one of the four San- tas, all of 'whom are well and favorably kn'tl)wn by breeders and racers of the long tals.

Waldere's presence will be consldered by many a blessing, for he is both a good fellow and a goed thing—on the rialto. The fashion plate and ‘“‘Baroness Blanc,” whose name and history are linked with several sensational divorce proceedings which set Eastern soclety gossips a-wagging their tongues on more than one occasion, will probably remain fn this city throughout the summer months. Mr. Kirk is quite fond of yacht- ing, and his experiences on the bay, par- ticularly at Sausalito last year, will al- ways be fresh in his memory. The King of the Dudes fell an easy victim to the pranks of several local club men while taking a cruise on the bay and the story is_quite too good to be left untold. J. Waldere was invited to attend a yachting party given by several promi- nent society gentléemen and he immedi- | ately paid a visit to a Montgomery street furnisher, where he spent @ small part of his salary for a swell yachting suit. Wal- | dere had everything else in the dress | line in his wardrobe, but he unfortunately had neglected to bring along his Coney | Island_outfit. | Mr. Kirk's reputation was at stake and he spared no expense to secure a yacht- ing costume that would stamp him as the | best dressed gentleman in the Xarl)fl The King of the Dudes was the first to the wire. In Patsy Carroll's vernacular, Mr. Kirk was certajnly the goods. He pro- duced his precious self aboard the yacht, looking like a rainbow tinted nightmare, but before the day's cruise was over and the party broke up Mr. Kirk resembled a tinted wall more than he did anything else. During the early hours of the cruise wine flowed copiously and evcr?'budfi' was happy. After dinner more wine flowed and_everybody began to tread the gold | lined borders of that blissful state where everybody gr@ws garrulously confidential and justly protid of his right name. It was at this ecstatic juncture that the placid J. Waldere came to grief. Wearied of the yacht’s cargo of 8retly ris and gallant “gentlemen, and bowed down by the weight of his own cargo within, the fashion plate sank into a blissful sleep on the stern of the yacht. The company was shocdkad and the host was sadly dis- appointed, r'f'hey all gathered around the prostrate form of the king of the dudes, vaguely gurmising the kaleidoscopic visions that Were probably flitting through Waldere's drowsy brain. “Such a nice boy, too,” said one of the buds, as she tickied him under the chin with 'the point of her parasol. “Pity he drinks,” chimed in another. “So early in the game, t0o,” chirped a third, and everybody in the crowd poked fun at the sleeping swell. Then somebody in the bunch came to the cruel conclusion that J. Waldere looked a bit too ravishing in that Mont- gomery street finery, so they all sallied down ‘into the galley and ordered the cook to furnish them with large quanti- ties of pot black. To say that experienced an inglorious finish would be putting it rather mildly.

Her maiden name was Elizabeth Nicholson, and her home was in Philadelphia, where her %‘rents were prominent society people. e Baroness, before taking her first matrimonial plunge, was the pam- pered and petted society belle of Philadel- %hia. She first married Alfred Lawrence iegle, but forsook him for the stage. Then she married the Baron Blanc, but after a time the Baron became jealous of the attentions which a chap named Fred Youngling was said to be pflylnfi his wife and he, too, sought rellef from his matri- monial obligations. After the divorce was granted the Baron sued out a writ of pro- hibition, which stopped the Baroness from making capital of his name in the tre- atrical business Evolution and Religion. Rev. William Rader delivered a sermon on “Evolution and Religion” last night before the members of the Third Congre- gational Church. He spoke from the text: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things p, and leasant cl b fosts of e made | shall be added unto you.” In part he said: Professor Joseph Le Conte, our _eminent scientist, s given the best definition of evolution, continuous progressive change ac- cording to certain laws and by means of resi- dent forces.”” By evolution is meant the way God does things, and the dlscovery of this way is called sclence. It is found that the world was not manufactured as men build a house, but that it grew as a tree grdws. The stars were not made as one turns on the gas, but gradually according to law and by means of resident forces. Man has evoived, so has the Bible, which is only saying that revelation is progressive. Society, the church and religion have been subject’ to the same law. Because evolution does not explain the origin but only the pro- cess of life it is as consistent with religion as it 1s with the formation of rock or the growth of a flower. Evolution has now the honor of being the last great word in science and re- | lgton, — e Democrats Organizing.

(2 Would Like It Understood That He Was Not Responsible for the Justice Being on the Police Bench. i A silly story was publist ing paper to the effect that Police Judge Treadwell was to send in his resignation in a few days to the Board of Supervis- ors, to take effect June 1, and that Prose- cuting Attorney Carpenter had been slat- ed to succeed him. “The statement in to-day’s Chronicle that I will resign,” said Judge Treadwell yesterday, “is totally unfounded. I have no intention of resigning my position, and my physicians assure me that on June 1 I will be perfectly aktle to resume my work on the bench. I walked five miles to-day, and my ribs, which were injured in an accident, do not pain me at all now. It seems that there are certain people who desire my position before I am dead. “T wish to embrace this oportunity of declaring that I greatly deplore the action of Justice Groezinger in declaring the In- gleside ordinance invalid. He went en- {irely out of his jurisdiction to take upon himself the function of the Supreme Court. It is my opinion that his decision, even if he had any authority to make it, was a mere quibble. In view of Groez- inger's action it pleases me to say that the Mayor is the one who appoints those who take the places of any temporarily incapacitated official. I am totally inno- cent of Justice Groezinger's appoint- ment.” The only foundation for the story was the fact that Judges Graham and Mogan ad expre: dissatisfaction at the way in which Justice of -he Peace Groezinger was dispensing justice in Department 4, particularly in 1 to the racetrack and nickel-in-the-s machine cases, which had brought, they thought, dis- credit upon the other courts through at- tacks in the S Judge Treadw that he d in a morne« s friends say never had any thought of sending in his resignation and are amused at the idea which is so absurd to those who know the Judge.
