S The Hares Ran Unusually Strong, Which Necessitated the With- drawal of Several Dogs. Shortenders in Front. FRC L Magnet succeeded fn capturing the mid- week reserve stake for non-winners at Union Coursing Park yesterday, after an interesting course with Bonnie Scotland. | Masgnet led to the hare and performed the first part of the work. Then there were a few exchanges and Bonnle commenced to wipe out Magnet's lead but killed too | quick. Magnet is one of the old-time stake winners, while Bonnie Scotland has never won yet. A fine day's sport was enjoyed by a fair- sized crowd. The hares were unusually strong and several escaped. There were two exceptionally hard courses, necessi- tating the withdrawal of the winners. In the third round Iowa Girl beat Master- plece after a hard struggle. In the fourth round Alma lost whatever chances she | might have had to win the stake by :1\’ grueling course with Expense. Alma did all the work and another dog was let loose, but the hare escaped. The short-enders were fortunate as a rule, notably Masterpiece, who beat Fire« man at 3 to 1; Wise Gezaba beat Fireball at 5 to 1 and Geraldine beat Banner Bearer at 3 to 1.

Jake Baumgarten, a well-known young bantam-weight, who has often fought at | the Acme and Reliance clubs, knocked out | | & young colored fellow known about town | | us Musa. There has been bad blood be- tween the two young boxers for -some time, and last night at the gentlemen’s | night of the Acme Club the quarrel came | to a head and they decided to settle it at the first opportun ! A crowd of sports agreed to put up a purse of $10, and to-night Baumgarten and Musa met in the cellar under the | shaving parlor at Seventh and Broadw Everything was well arranged and wel known sports acted as timekeeper and | referee. When time was called the two bantams flew at each other and sciénce was superseded by anger. For about a minute blows fell thick and fast.

The mill was very | viclous while it lasted and Baumsgarten | was given the purse. No arrests ' were | made, as_when the police returned later | the crowd had dispersed and the officers were informed that the lads had merely | boxed with eight-ounce gloves and that | no” one had been badly hurt. The fight was witnessed by many of the leading merchants and attorneys on Broadway. Late to-night one of the officers of the | Rellance Club complained to the police of | the affair, saying that it should not be | allowed, ‘as the fight took place on a cement floor and in a dark basement. He said that if anybody had been seriously injured or killed it would have given the legitimate sport a setback that it would not recover from for years.

S e 1¢ the allegations of Mrs. Sarah E. S. Hall are based on facts the conduct of Officer Charles H. Hall, her husband, should be thoroughly investigated by the Police Commissioners. Mrs. Hall filed suit yesterday agalnst her husband for maintenance, the basis for the action be- ing fully set forth in her complaint. “On the 3d day of July,” the complaint reads, “the defendant willfully deserted the plaintiff by then and there causing the plaintiff, Mrs. Hall, to depart rr?xx; em: family place by reason of his cruel treat- Tent of ana hcts toward plaintff. By reason_of the acts of Officer Hall the plaintiff apprehended that defendant 1d do her great and lasting bodily rm. ‘Defendant threatened to throw plain- tiff out of the family dwelling place If she aid not leave, and threatened to chop her to pieces, at the same time exhibiting and menacing plaintiff with a large dirk knife, and at numerous times used vio- lent and opprobrious language toward plaintiff, too vulgar to be here pleaded. Mrs. Hall further says that during their married life, since May 19, I77, she has been uniformly kind to her husband, and his acts, threats and cruelty were with- out cause or provocation cn her part She says that she is without money or means with which to suppart herself or to pro cute the action. and hence asks a decree of court compelling her husband to_pay her $150 counsel fees, costs and 330 a month hereafter as alimony for her main- e and support complaint is verified under oath by Mrs. Hall, and hence the actlons of Hail will doubtless receive the attention of the Commissiones MERCHANTS WANT A BRANCH MUSEUM MANY ADVANTAGES TO WEST- ERN BUSINESS MEN. W. P. Wilson of the Philadelphia Institution Offers Great Induce- ments to San Francisco. The proposition of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation to establish in this city a branch of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum | 1s attracting not a little attention on the | part of the exporters, merchants and manufacturers. The advantages of hav- ing such a bureau of information becomes more apparent every day. As a fact the movement was started nearly a year ago, when C. A. Green, assistant chief of the bureau of Information of the National Museum was in this city. He went to the Orient, where he obtained over three tons of the principal products of China, Japan and the Philippine Islands, which he sent to the headquartets in the East. Besides the exhibits he collected all the data and information that went with the goods. Upon his return he talked the matter over with J. A. Filcher, manager of the State Board of Trade, with a view of learning the wishes of the people as to tablishing a branch here. “He algo in- terviewed C. A. Denicke, who was very enthusiastic in his support of the propo- sition. As Mr. Green was not authorized to act, nothing was done at the time. It was not long after that when the Me- chanics' Institute went to the head of a movement to obtain from the United States Government an appropriation of $50,000 for a permanent exhibit in_this city of the raw and manufactured prod- {ucts ¢f the world and the compiling of such infermation concerning the same as would be of service to the commerce of the coast. This fell through on account of the matter being brought up in Con- gress so close to the close of that body's session. The project was of such importance that it w not doomed to.dle, and recently, when several of the members of the asso- clation were in Philadelphia, they dis- cussed it again with W. P. Wilson, the manager of the mugeum. The latter is in institution here, arguing that a branch of the Na- tional Museum will be of special benefit to in the first place, much of the surplus goods of the parent exhibit could be sent to this city, but more important still is the furnishing of the information, data, prices, changes, supply, etc., of all kinds of goods and commodities of this and foreign countries. All this would be furnished in_duplicate to the museum Mr. Wilson states that while the Philadelphia museum is able to attend to all of the business of the world, it would be' greatly benefited by having a branch in Ban Francisco. The reason is that this being the ex- treme western part of the commercial centers of the Union a branch here would be in closer touch with the commercial interests of the Orient and Central and South America than the Quaker City. As a fact, the name “Philadelphia Commaor- cial Museum' is often misleading. The body is a national and not a local insti- tution, and its interests lie in every part of the United States. As soon as the Merchants’ Assoclation gets the tax levy and election off its hands it will take up the matter of establishing the branch museum here.
