Walter Hobart, the master of cere- monies, busied himself 'tween smiles in making things pleasant for the assembled | guests. The ultra fashionable of San Mateo so- | ¢ made an otherwise dull and dismal day bright by their presence. The races were advertised to start at 2 o'clock, but it was nearly an hour later before tne turnouts of upper swelldom began’ pour- ing into the infield. Then they came. Victorias, dog-carts, four-in-hands, coach- | es, brakes, drags and even the old-fash- | foned buck-board. The bleachers were crowded with the townfolks. Peter Martin with his coach and party were the first to create a sensation. As the prancing steeds caught the strains of Blanchard’s band the leaders began a cakewalk step that tion to the bicuspeds of the pole horses. The fractious animals were quickly de- tached without Peter losing a portion of *his smile, even though his guests were a trifle perturbed. Handsome Frank Caro- lan, wife and party were among the early arriving ones, and Frank showed to ad- vantage as an admirable whip. By the way, he Is secretary of the Hunt Club. The coach of Mr. Hobart was located op- posite the judges’ stand and of the gay crowd occupying seats thereon “Baby Hannah” was easily the star. Joe Tobin was there, wearing the latest effect in balloon trousering, and so was W. O'B. Macdonough. The latter was ild-mannered and unostentatious as ever. Jack Casserly and his pretty wife were the guests of Mrs. Hobart. E. D. Beylord swung three horses attached to @2 “brake” through a gap no wider than a kitchen door with an air of dash and vigor that demonstrated that he was there with the ribbons. In the saddie Chariey Dunphy and Wal- ter Hobart were tied for first place hon- ors, each piloting two winners. Mr. Ho- bart, however, had sifghtly the best of it, twice finishing second and once third out of the seven events. The sport commenced with a quarter- mile dash for ponies that had never won a race, The lobart cup was the prize offered and it was taken by Mr. Hume | astride the speedy Gopher, which won in a drive, leading Mince Meat out a-neck. Peter Martin rode. the latter, allowing { himself to be outfinished. Then followed a match race at four a side, between Walter Comanche and Yucatan a thoroughbred mare. Fred Edwards had the mare trained to the hour, and in a furious drive, well ridden by Mr. Carolan, she won from the pony by a length, The steeplechase for the Moore cup at two and a half miles, with a fleld of four starting, was the big event of the after- noon.

Six-bits, Brandy, {duny and Noine finished in the order named. A novel match race followed. Walter Hobart sat astride Frank Carolan’s Pinto, while Mr. Carolan guided Hobart's Guzeba, each awner having previously wagered his pony the slowest. Driving hard, Pinto downed Guzeba half a length, and the laugh was on Mr. Carolan. The race for the Hume cup saw Flood- more, the veteran hurdler, with Walter Hobart in the saddle, beaten out by a horse called Bragg, ridden by Mr. Walter.

On the track at Manhattan Beach this afternoon three noisy machines, whose quick-re- curring explosions of gasoline reminded one strongly of a Fourth of July cele- bration, cut out a pace for twenty-five miles at a rate of about thirty-three miles to the hour. The middle-distance riders, trailing these machines, were in a competition for a purse of $1000 and a percentage of the gate receipts, but the four.thousand spectators almost overlooked the performances cf the principals in their eagerness to follow the trail of the motors. Chiefly because his petroleum quadruplet possessed more speed than the naphtha tandems of his rivals “Harry” Elkes,” admit- tedly the cleverest pace follower in America, finished first in the race by a margin of a half-mile over Burns Pierce and of two miles over Earl Stevens. His time for the journey was 45:11 3-5, the best time made behind motor pace in this country. Throughout the contest the actions of the motor machines were satisfactory to the riders and to the spectators, though undoubtedly both Pierce and Stevens would have pressed Elkes closer at the finish had they been paced by ‘“‘quads” instead of by tandems. The only faltering on the part of any of the machines occurred near the end of the fourteenth mile, when the motor of the four-seater ceased its work because of lack of fuel. Its place was taken by a tandem, which was in readiness in case of accident. Pierce rode in form that would have been considered good in any other com- pany but that of Elkes. Up to ten miles he made an interesting race, frequently closing on the leader and sometimes passing him, only to be repassed. For a brief third of a mile, ending at the five | miles, he held the lead and then began to gradually fall away. After the tenth mile he lost ground more rapidly. Ste- vens, disappointed by his inability to make use of C. W. Miller’s new French | tandem, was paced by the machine brought over from Europe by Henri Fournier a year ago. He followed his pace closely, but was never a factor in the contest. POOL ORDER IS KILLED Mayor Phelan Vetoes Ingle- side’s Last Chance of Coursing Sport. Mayor Phelan has vetoed the order re- cently passed by the Board of Super- visors which so amended the anti-pool selling law as to permit pool selling at all coursing parks. The measure, aithough general In its scope, was intended for {he relief of the Ingleside Coursing Assocla- tion, which was forced to suspend when the ordinance which closed the race track went into effect. Mayor Phelan’s objec- tions to the measure are stated in his message of disapproval, which is as fol- lows: SAN FRANCISCO, July 12, 1899. To the Honorable, the Board of Su- ervisors of the City and County of an Francisco—Gentlemen: 1 here- With return to_you, without my ap- proval, Order 204, providing for ool selling and bookmaking at cours- ng parks. The reason for my objec- tion is that your honorable board has forbidden by Order No. 174, which this purports to in part repeal, pool selling and bookmaking on all racing tracks and coursing parks; and by now dis- criminating you seek to confer bene- fits and immunities on one class of citizens to the exclusion of another, which is contrary to law.

SOUTHAMPTON, July 15.—The rea- son the Shamrock did not sall yester- day, after having made all preparations to do so, as described in yesterday’s dispatch, was merely a desire not to wet her new mainsail. The mechanics —whom I described as coming aboard and going below, as well as their suh- sequent tapping—were there to make necessary preparations for girders which will be placed inside the yacht for the voyage. This morning, however, at 10 o’clock the Shamrock had her jib and trysail set and was ready and waiting for Sir Thomas Lipton. The moment he board- ed her her anchor was weighed and she went very gently down Southampton water, followed by the Satanita, under short sail. In front of Netley Hospital the Shamrock went about, head to wind, and this time her great mainsail was set without any wificulty. This operation was performed right under the guardship Australia, whose officers and men got a fine view of the yacht. There was not wind enough to blow out the Royal Ulster Club’s pennant, which was hauled at her peak. She scarcely moved. Then for the first time the jackyards topsail was set, as pretty a piece of canvas as one would want to see. The wind failing, a tug took the | vacht in tow as far as Brambles, | where a wind of a wholesale order was speedily forthcoming from the north- | west. To begin with on this the Shamrock started on a westerly course in fine style. She was close hauled and jibed | around, fetching Cowes Road on !he: port tack. She went about and re- | | turned on the starboard tack. Then she hove to and took aboard Ratsey, her sailmaker. Fife was there already. The wind had now shifted a point to due west and had more power in it. This gave the challenger a dead beat toward | Needles in a choppy sea—just what she wanted. It thoroughly blew out the | salls. - In this beating the Shamrock showed palpably the great depth of her keel. Her capacity to windward is un- doubted. On that point to-day she showed herself a clinker, and a stiff boat. In close hauled tacking she will | be difficult to beat. Having sailed over Queen’s course, the Shamrock routed west a full hour, then back to Cowes. The scene there was a remarkable one. Aged people who had never showed themselves for years turned out on crutches and in chairs. There was an interested and critical crowd on the vachts off the Squadron and on the Terrace. when she got to Ryde, where the fa- | mous clubhouse was unusually crowd- ed. The Shamrock now had her jib topsail set, but neither spinnaker or balloon foresail, both of which she might have carried. Various opinfons were expressed, es- There was a similar scene | j Murphy’s Great Ride 1 Mile in 57 45 Seconds, The Fastest Mile Ever Made by Man or Beast.

It was noticed that the yacht splashed more water in traveling to-day than on her first spin. 2 At Cowes the Shamrock passed di- rectly behind the Britannia and the contrast was striking. The Prince of Wales’ cutter looked quite small against the Shamrock, the latter’s top- mast towering over the Britannia’s. There was a beat back from Nab lightship and a clean reach home up BSouthampton water. She was a very fetching picture as she approached her anchorage, the setting sun lighting up her emerald green sides. It is stated the Kaiser has been re- quested to allow Captain Parker to sail the Meteor on Tuesday, there being a doubt concerning the Britannia's capa- bilities after lying for two seasons in the mud., whereas the Meteor comes fresh from her racing at Kiel. Probably you will receive news that the Shamrock had an accident on her spin to-day. The report originated at Cowes, and is to the effect that the Shamrock carried away her mainsail. A member of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, whom T met in Cowes this after- noon, was the center of attraction. He asserted that in looking with a tele- scope from the club window he distinct- ly saw the peak gaff of the Shamrock and then the whole mainsail give way. In a few minutes all Cowes was talk- ing about the catastrophe. Many persons said, “I told you 1 knew her rigging was too light,” etc. The news was telegraphed and appears here in large type in the evening pa- pers, with large headings, ‘‘Mishap in the Solent. Mainsail Carried Away. Of course all that was terrible. Peo- ple began discussing whether the hull had not been damaged, as of course it would have been had the halyards given way. The truth is nothing hap- pened at all. Nothing gave way. The Shamrock had no accident of any kind. Bicycle Races During a Rain.
