Curtis & Sons' War Eagle showed con- siderable coursing qualities throughout the Special Reserve Stake at San Mateo Park yesterday and wourd up his brill- jant work by beating Sharman's Wait a Bit, a 3 to favorite, In the deciding course. D. Dillon’s Evropa made a good show- ng and reached the fifth round, in which she was put out of the game by the stake winner. Europa was unfortunate with Warpath in the fourth and was forced to run three courses before getting the de- cision. Immediately after this hard work her position on the card called for a go with War Eagle. Europa was willing enough and made It interesting while she lasted, but the pace was too fast for her. P. J. Reilley’s Futurity candidate. Loughneagh, though beaten in the second round, made a good {impression and coursing men predict a fair future for the youngster. Curtis & Son’s Psyche satis- fled her owners by her work.

HTZSIMMONS 1§ FAVORITE IN THE BETTING His Friends Believe Ruhlin Cannot Stand Against His Heavy Blows. ATl {8 “Akron Giant,” However, Is Confi- dent, and Gives Assurance He Will Not Again Be Ner- vous in the Ring. D VR Special Dispatch to The Call. t14444444 444444444040 NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Those fel- Jows who think I am a ‘“*has been™ will change their opinion after my bout with Ruhlin. My hands are just as serviceable as they ever were, and my strength and hitting powers remain unchanged. ROBERT FITZSIMMONS. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Fitzsim- mons is a cunning fellow in the ring, but ha will have to spring something mighty original to lead me into a trap that will give him an opportunity to score a knock- out. I think I will win and belleve T will do the trick inside of fifteen rounds. AUGUST RUHLIN. ® + + + + + + < + - + + + + + + + b4 + 3 $ + + + + - + L E + + + + + + + + + + + @+ 4444444444444 440 NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Comparatively few wagers have been placed on the fight which is to take place in Madison Square Gardens to-morrow night between “Bob™ Fitzsimmons and “Gus"” Ruhlin. Of the few wagers placed odds of 10 to 8 were laid that Fitzsimmons would win. Those who pin their faith to Fitzsimmons be- lieve that his experience, original tactics and great generalship, together with his hard hitting, will more than offset Ruh- lin's advantage in welght and youth. Several good iudges who watched Fitz- simmons ecritically while at his work ex- ressed the opinion that the former heavyweight champlon was a_bit drawn. 'rl"hey thought he had trained down too ne. Ruhlin's friends can find no flaw in the physical condition of the "Akron giant.” “Don’t worry about me being nervous, Ruhlin said, “because there will occasion for it. My timidity, which was 80 apparent in my contest with Sharkey, was due to the fact that I had been beat- en by Sharkey on a chance blow and a desire on my part to prevent the sailor from repeating the trick.” Fitzsimmons’ friends point out that “Lanky Bob” has a greater variety of trick blows than any other living pugilist, and they believe that he has several new ones that will give him the victory. It was Fitzsimmons who introduced the solar glexu! blow, which proved so effective in is flght with Corbett. It is also pointed out by the former heavy-weight cham- pion’s” admirers that their favorite can strike a much harder blow than Ruhlin. That Ruhlin is not a \'er{ hard hitter they insist was proven in his fight with Sharkey. The ‘“‘Akron glant” hit the sailor repeatedly on the head, and al- though he eventually knocked him into a state of helplessness, it took him a very long time to accomplish the task. On the other hand, Fitzsimmons has always knocked his mén out with a single blow on head or body. Ruhlin’s supporters say that their con- fidence in the *“Akron Giant” is due to the latier's wonderful improvement with- in the last six months. In their opinfon the Ohio man Is just_as clever as any big pugilist In the ring to-day. That he is clever with his hands and as well with his feet, they insist was clearly demon- strated in his fight with Sharkey. In that contest he showed ability to fight a bat- tle on the lines marked out for %lm weeks before the event took place. They admit he was a bit nervous in the first round, but his timiaity quickly wore away, and after that period Ruhiin had things all his own way. They also be- lieve that youth and strength will tell in the Ohin man's favor and will event- vally glve hjm a victory. Opinions of experts on th battle are interesting: “Terry” McGovern—Fitzsimmons is my choice. Corbett—T think Rublin will win. “Al” Smith—Ruhlin is too clever and shifty for Fitzsimmons to knock out. Sam Harris—I am betting on Fitzsim- mo ns. ohn Considine—I expect to see the J “Akron Glant” win and I'm betting my money on him. “Eddie” Burke—I'd Iike. to place a few thousand dollars at 8 to 10 on Ruhlin, “Tom"” Sharkey—I pick Fitzsimmons to Fom O'Rourke—Fitzsimmons knows too much for Ruhlin and I think he wili win. John L. Sullivan—I believe Fitzsimmons will whip Ruhlin to-morrow night. The bout will not go over six rounds. M’PARTLAND’S SECONDS THROW UP THE SPONGE George McFadden of New York ‘Whips the Kid in Sixteen Fierce Rounds. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—At the Broadway Athletic Club to-night George McFadden of this city whipped Kid McPartland, an- other local pugilist, so badly that Me- Partiand's seconds threw up the sponge in the sixteenth round to prevent their man from being knocked out. Up to the tenth round McFadden suc- ceeded in landl% some fearful right-hand smashes over McPartland's kidneys, and these so weakened the Kid that he went to the floor in the tenth round and took the count before he got up. At the close of the fifteenth round McFadden swun, left and right to the body and remtes both blows to the head, sending McPart- iand :sun to the floor just as the bell sounded. McPartland Was groggy as. came up for the sixteenth round and Mec- Fadden rushed him, flooring him with a body blow. McPartland was very weak when he regained his feet and he clinched to save himself from fiolng down again. McFadden beat him off and would un- doubtedly have knocked out McPartland had the latter's seconds not thrown up the sponge. —e———— Cash Sloan Wins. PARIS, Aug. 10.—At Vichy yesterday Cash Sloan won the Prix du Reves d'Or, 25,000 francs, over a course of 1000 metres on the Duke of Gramont's Seville, ALTHECRICKS ARE TO LIRE 0P AT SACRAMENTO Hundreds of Horses Being Prepared for the State Fair. PR S It can be sald without fear of contra- diction that the annual race meet to be held during the fair at Sacramento. next month will be the greatest in the history of the States Agricultural Soclety. As- sistant Secretary Harry Lowden came down from the capital city yesterday, and among other things sald that already there was a dearth of stable room. Ap- plications had been received for stalls for 453 runners—a most remarkable showing. Harry sald he guessed the Emeryville and Ingleside trainers, with requests in for 120 stalls, would have to take pot luck. The harness events also loom up most promisingly, 178 trotters and pacers in all being entered. This boom in up-country racing speaks volumes for the energy and push displayed by Secretary Peter Shields and the dlrectors of the society. The Sacrapento directors have promul- gated two or three changes in the rules to govern the sport there. In selling events, only owners having an entry in the race are entitled to bid on the winner. In addition, before taking advantage of this privilege the rule compels the horse- man intending to bid to deposit with the judges a sum equivalent to the entered selling price of the winner. This is to do away with “grudge” and ‘‘scrub” bidding, and looks an extremely wise measure. Anent rulings, indefinite suspensions will not be recognivad, only those ruled oft for fraud being excluded from partici- pating in the racing. No poallnF of issues or forming of combination will be toler- ated from the fookmaking fraternity. If a satisfactory amount cannot be realized from layers of odds willing to cut in, the directors have decided to handle the auc- tion and paris mutuel betting themselves, charging the usual 5 per cent commis- 5 gion, in addition to putting on two field books. An offer of $20,000 made by an Eastern man for the privilege, to be con- ducted on the same lines as last year, was received and refused.

Frank McMahon, owner of Alaria and Croker, recently purchased the fast filly Goddess of Night. Frank thinks the Eastern game the greatest on earth. Recent advices from Kentucky are that Starter J. B. Ferguson has so far recov- ered as to be up and wnlklng about. He is, however, very far from being a well man. A horse of the lateral gait stepped a mile over the Sacramento track the other morning in 2:07, and two or three trotters have covered miles better than 2:10. The State Fair directors flgure that it ought to be worth $150 a day per book to hang up slates. There will be two harness and four running events cach day. A stringent rule was recently passed by the Chicago racetrack officials, barring touts. Their work became too coarse. It is also rumored that California poolboys cannot obtain employment on far Eastern tracks. If these latter gentry are any worse than the Eastern product which occasionally floated out here they must be “awful good.” It would appear that the local season of racing which opens at Oakland track on November 3 is to receive renewed im- petus, and it would not be surgrls(ng to see as many Eastern horses and turfmen as were here four years ago, when the sport was seen at its best. Already Sec- retary Bob Milroy of the California Jockey Club says applications are coming in for stable room. Sam Hildreth will bring out a blg stable of twenty-four. including some of the best racing materiai in the country. “Billy” Magrane must have put in a prosperous season around Chicago, for he asks for fourteen stalls at Oakland. What-Er-Lou, the stake horse trained by Magrane, which broke down here twoeasons ago, will be taken up from pasturage and again placed in training. The stables of W. B. Jennings & Co. and v. L. Stanfleld are now quartered at Agricultural Park, Sacramento. SEMI-FINAL DOUBLES ARE WON BY HARDY BROTHERS Defeat Ollie Campbell and Robert Huntington at the South- ampton Court. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Richard Stevens of the Hoboken Club and W. A. Larned, the ex-champlon, won this forenoon's tennis match at Southampton, defeating R. D. Wrenn and George L. Wrenn re- spectively, and, therefore, they will con- test the finals in the Long Island lawn tennis championship tournament. The score follows: Gentlemen’s_champignship singles, semi- final round—Willlam~ Larned ~ defeated George L. Wrenn Jr., 6-2, Richard Stevens defeated R, D. Wrenn, 2-6, 8-1, 6-4. In the afternoon the semi-final round of the championship doubles was started. The opening match was between the P: cific C%eut ghn.mplcns, the Hardy brot] ers, and Ollie Campbell, paired with Rob- ert Huntington. The two veterans set out at a hot pace and forced the Californians to run for the swift drives that they sent deep into thelr court. The initial set went to Campbell and Huntington by an easy score, but the Hardys t the second set at 6-2 and the third set at 6-1. All of the events have now reached the final round, and the matches will be played to-morrow. Score: Gentlemen's championship singles, semi- final round—W. A. Larned defeated George L.

COMPARATIVE STUDIE At the beginning of the eighteenth cen- tury chemistry had just been emancipat- ed from the Influence of medieval super- stition and had established its right to be considered an Independent science, with the consciousness of a basls for future individual development. Almost from the Christian era It was stunted by the ignis fatuus of alchemy and iatro chemistry. its sole reason for existence being the ap- plication of the few known facts to the conversion of the baser metals into gold or to the exploitation of so-called medi- cinal remedies. The knowledge thus far and the prevalent theories were borrowed from the Ancients or Arablans. All known substances were supposed to be formed by varying proportions of the essentlal principles—earth, water, fire, air, mercury, sulphur and salt. Experimental science, having for its object the estab- lishment of fundamental theories, derived by the correlation of observed facts, was unknown. Chemistry as an_independent science owes its origin to Robert Boyle, who in the middle of the seventeenth century was the first to courageously oppose the older doctrines advocated by the peripa- tetics, and who, by a series of masterly writings, sought to replace the vague no- tion of principles by more definite chem- ical elements, defined by him as sub- stances which could not by ordinary means be disintegrated into two or more simpler bodles. It is true Boyle frequent- ly erred in his conclusions, as, for ex- ample, when he considered glass and water to be chemical elements, owing to his inability to decompose them. —Al- though his methods were often weak, his conclusions were sound, and his brilliant experimental genius finally succeeded in establishing the science on a firm basis, even rendering the ‘“‘black art” fashionable at court; kings and princes neglected or- dinary affairs of state in order to dabble with the “spring of the air’” and kindred topics. thhough Boyle revolutionized methods, it was not until the beginning of the eighteenth century that the entire scien- tific world abandoned the older views and the way was opened for the establishment of the first chemical theory which under- took to connect a series of obviously re- lated facts. Until this necessary advance was made no substantial progress could be noted, for all the efforts of Investiga- tion ended merely in aimless wanderings. This first sclentific step opened the way for consistent and vigorous advance. The first theory was subsequently discarded because it was founded upon qualitative and not quantitative observation of chemical phenomena, nevertheless its benefit was incalculable, for it outlined a definite and precise course for future ex- perimentation. The theory is known as that of phlogiston. Its object was to ex- plain the changes taking place during combustion. All matter while burning was believed to separate a principie termed phlogiston, so that the remaining incinerated product was supposed to be of simpler composition than the initial sub- stance. The fault of the theory was that iu reality bodies during burning gain in weight, & separation seeming, therefore, less than a anion. A further develop- ment of eighty years was require re workers in the science realized this fact. The phlogiston period was one of great activity in the chemical field and many notable discoveries occurred under its auspices. Particularly was this true of the isolation of various gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), nitric_oxide, ammonia gas, muriatic acid gas, chlorine and lastly éxygen and hydrogen. Black, Priestly, cheule, Watt, Cavendish and many other men added luster to the science. ~Considerable progress was made in chemical industry: the manufacture of sulphuric acid de- veloped and toward the end of the cen- tury when the phlogiston theory was al- ready giving way to our modern views the dry distillation of bituminous coal and the | manufacture of {lluminating gas, coke and tar began. The phlogi fln&eriod ‘was brought to an end about - by the accurate re- searches of the Frenchman Lavolsier. This investigator demonstrated combus- tion to be a union with one of the con- stituents of the atmosphere, a gas which Priestly and Scheule had discovered and Wwhich Lavoisier named oxygen. Sub- stances in burning were shown to have gained weight, and this gain in weight Was demonstrated to ke commensurat: with a loss suffered hg the air suppor ing the process of burning. Chemical elements, as they are to-day, were defined as forms of matter which, when alone, could not be changed intd two or more simpler bodies and the products of com- bustion were therefore shown to be com- pounds. Lavoisier's crowning work was the final proof that water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygzen and the firm establishment of the law of constancy of matter. A new system of nomenclature, | substantially the same as that of to-day, was -introduced and the way was opened for the marvelous advances made in the nineteenth century. After the death of Lavoisier, in 1792, a host of earnest investigators carried on his work; new_ elements and compounds were discovered and by 1808 the way was clear for the establishment of the funda- mental law governing the composition of chemical compounds kriown as the law of constant proportions (Proust). All true chemical compounds were recognized as having their constituent elements com- bined in constant and unvarying ratio oy weight, and althongh a bitter opposition to this' view was carried on by the emi- nent scientist Berthollet, the facts re- vealed by careful analysis established the theory, and from that time all chemical science was based upon their understand- ing. Almost simultaneously with this ad. vance, the present theory of atoms, which has been of immeasurable benefit in the progress of the science. was developed in England by John Dalton, and the laws governing the combining volumes of gases were discovered by Gay-Lussac in France, thus serving to firmly establish this theory in the chemical world. Chemical industry received a great impetus from the intense activity in the theoretical fleld. The isola- tion of France during the revo- lutionary period caused her to make an earnest effort to supply chemicals pre- viously purchased abroad, and as a result the Le Blanc process for the manufac- ture of soda originated there. Until re- cently it was the sole means of producing this important chemical. Owing to the possibility of the commercial production of chlorine, bleaching powder came into use; ammonia was generated in quantity from the gasworks, which were increas- ing in number, and the cultivation of the sugar beet and the means of marketi the product, a difficult chemleal problgt, began to gain ground. p The period in the history of chemistry immedlately following the understanding of the law of definite proportions was until about 1852 mainly devoted to defin- ing and_enlarging the views aiready es- tablished, the principal object being to investigate the subject of atomic weights, which were chemical quantities defined | by Iton, and about the exact Inter- pretation of which bitter controversy . _The conflict thus Brecipitated stimulated research and served to hasten the discovery of many new elements a compounds and to perfect the methods of analysis. The Swedish chemist Berzelius. a man of endurance, untiring energy and experimental skill far beyond that of any of his contemporaries, was the most nota- ble ,’,‘J“" in the chemical world of this period. In addition to his pre-eminent dexterity in the laboratory he was a vo- luminous writer. The resuits of his re- searches were compiled in a manual of chemistry, which first appeared in the Swedish language and. which was subde- quently translated into German by his ctffleld friend Wobler. The general chemi was reviewed in an annual compilation. By ml‘u of his activity and his tional facility for bringing his views fore his colleagues Berzelius succeeded during thirty years in completely domi- nating !h; o:ld:nce. s Tk e ‘rom to ‘was fruit- ful in the discovery and isolation of ng" elements, over twenty-five being added to the known list.

S OF TWO CENTURIES. ——— VIIL and the study of crystalline forms and crystallograpby began to establish itself as an independent science. Almost all of the experimental results obtained were discovered with reference to the possibil- ity of determining the relative weights of the atoms of the elements. Two op- posing schools arose, one maintaining that the accurate understanding of these small quantities we be forever an imj I bility; the other that a judiclous com- bination of laboratory results with theo- retical reasoning ultimately would lead to definite con: ons. The latter view finally triumphe Until 1823 a tween so-called that portion of ganic.

In 1528 Wohler with on stroke broke down the barrier. He suc- ceeded in synthesizing urea, which had been considered solely the result of physi- ological action. The result opened a new field for chemical activity and in a few years many men were engaged in inves: sations which led to the production of a rge number of n tances and the derivatives, containing the elements h hydrogen, many of 1 oxygen, nitrogen and phos- phorus and sulphur. The possibilities of this new branch of the science, still termed from habit organfe chemistry, were practically unlimited, but the old controversy to atomic weights was not settled. Its development was re- tarded owing to the misunderstanding of chemical principles. In Liebig and Wohler ~ublished a long ch on the ofl of bitter almonds which did much to clear up existing misconceptions, and a few years later the French chemists, Du- mas, Laurent and Gerhardt, made a fur- ther advance by the discovery of chlo nated acetic acid and allled bodies. conception of the nature of organic sub- stances and of the mission of this branch of chemistry became clearer. In the early xties Kekule in Bonn and Frautiand and r;gl.xn]rl flxnfi\llr brought or- aos and placed the seienc: on a theoretical basis, which has been £ lowed to the present day.

The body of the man found in the bay last Thursday morning was identified at the Morgue yesterday by David McWhir- ter of 457 Valencia street as that of Enos Gilleran of 123 West Mission street. Gill- eran and his son George, aged 9 Otto Macowski and David Me Went sailing on the bay on July 29 in a -catboat belonging to McWhirter. When off Lime Point the boat nearly upset in a squall and Gilleran and his son were thrown into the water and swept away by the strong tide and drowned. McWhir- ter and Macowski succeeded in clinging to the boat until rescued. The boy's body has not yet been recov- ered. Gilleran was 4 years old and a native of Texas. He was a carpenter and his widow is in a destitute condition with a little daughter five years old to take care of. At_the inquest held yesterday afternoon by Justice of the Pence Barry, McWhir- ter told how he and Macowski succeeded in getting Gilieran and the boy aboard the boat after they had fallen overboard. The boy was amost drowned and imme- dlately fell back into the water. Gilleran went overboard for the purpose of saving him, and the last that was seen of them was when the boy placed his arms around his father’s neck and said: “Father, take me_home. Then they sank together. AMERICANS RETAIN DAVIS TENNIS TROPHY Ward and Davis Defeat the English Team on the Longwood Courts.
