Hostin is suspected of having | robbed two soldiers, f““'s of the hotel, | on Friday night while they slept. One of the soldiers, John Sweet, lost $120 and his companion $5. According to the police a number of crimes have recently been mmitted in this hotel. Last week John Donohue, a bellboy in the place, was ar- rested on a charge of having taken $100 and a watch from Frank Coyne, and was later held to answer before the Superior Court.

In the Burns handi- cap, decided at Oakland track, the more critically in- clined censured Bullman for being overanxious and mak- ing his move too Soon with Favonius. Taking the other side of it, Bullman, who has ridden Favonius in previous races, says the horse’s feet must have begun to burn, for he developed an inclination to stop. The pace set was by no means a killing one, and possibly the rider’s theory is a correct one. After all, The Fratter may have been very lucky, for had Joe Ripley, which in his day was con- sidered a high-class horse, been piloted by a stronger and more experienced rider the money would have all been his. There is no question ap- parently buf that Waring was best of the field in the handicap at Tanforan Park. His spreadeagle victory with 117 pounds up would indi- cate that the handicapper un- derestimated his ability.

A State law, passed March 26, 1895, and amended in February, 1900, empowered the Board of Harbor Commissioners to lease certain lands of the State to any railroad corporation not then having terminal facilities in the city and county of San Fraricsico. To the board was also grani- ed the power to authorize the construction of seawalls and other Improvements by the lessees. The railway company mentioned pri- posed to the Harbor Commissioners ' to build a seawall along the bay side of its premises. The proposition was accepted and the lease entered into November 21, At the meeting yesterday H. D. Love- land ‘presented a resolution which the State Board of Harbor Commissioners wished to_have adopted and which could be taken by a committee to the Legisla- ture. Chalrman Newhall immediatel inted the following committee: Yeane Jpham, Wakefield' Baker, F. W. Van Sickien, Robert H, Swayne, J. R. Howell and Horate Davis.

HILDRETH'S WARING WINNER OF THE SAN FRAN- CISCO HANDICAP. * e BY LOUIS HONIG. HORSE belonging to/Sam Hil- of Wating won the San Francisco handicap at Tanforan yesterday, the race that had $10,000 added lnd was easily the event of the Tanforan sea- son. - Rarely, If ever before, has such a ' fleld of horses gome to the post in Cali- | fornia, but Waring put them all out,of therunning from the upward jump of the | ler. Waring was the bandmaster and so fast was his swing of pace that all the otfers lost themselves In vain endeavor to kedp time. ‘Waring's company when the sixteen star hoof performers lined at the barrier was fhe most select of aristocratic équines. They were Advance Guard, top welght, with 121 pounds; Vesuvian 116, The Lady and Vulcain 113, Andrisa and Gon. falon 106, Specific and Joe Frey 105, Can- more 104, Greenock 103, Star Chamber and Autumn 102, Imperious and . Vuleain 101 and ‘Beau Ormonde 92. When these well tried and famous runners stepped out on | the track from the paddock a cheer went up from the grandstand, that was packed to the overflowing. Tod Sloan on The Lady was the first to receive a signalized applause. Then came Tommy Burns on Specific, Winnie O'Connor on Star Cham- | ber and Patsy McCue on Waring. The cantered away easily to the three-quarter | post, for the race was over the mile and a quarter route. - Some little time was consumed, in the start, but when Richard Dwyer snapped the barrier the sixteen darted forward to- gether. - At the very outset McCue forced Waring to the front, which position he retained until the race had run its course, ISpecmc and Imperious tried to tack on, but they did not have the necessary strength, s or stamina. Imperious | lasted for half a mile, when Specific and Vesuvian took -up.the battle. The pack trailed on behind lost in futlle efforts. The eat Advance Guard fell behind, so did gon(alon. Joe Frey, Andrisa, Canmore Edward Barry, residing on Tehama street, bBetween Third and Fourth, was shot in the back and fatally wounded by Louts Edwards, gamekeeper in the Chi- cago saloon, Third street, near Howard, at 11:30 o'clock last night. Barry w: found lying on the sidewalk on Natoma street, between Third and Fourth, by George O'Brien of 789% Minna street. O’'Brien took him to a drug store near by and from there he was sent to the Recelving Hospital. Drs. Murphy and Thrasher found that the bullet had en- tered the back near the eighth rib and ranged downward, lodging near the kid- neys. They could hold out no hope for the injured man’s life. The police were for a time deeply puz- zled by the affalr. Barry, although con- sclous and apparently realizing his condi- tion, refused .positively to tell who shot him or under what ‘circumstances he had Dbeen injured. It was finally learned that he had been in thie Chicago saloon and Edwards was afrested about 1 o'clock this morning and charged with' the shoot- ing. He admitted having fired the shot, but claimed he did so in self defense, as had returned to the place and as- saulted him after Laving been ejected for being -drunk and noisy. E John Stafford was in the saloon when u! He claims oot e wards refused to give him money for his checks a quarrel ensued. Barry began throwing bottles at Edwards, and in the dreth that {s known by the name | turn was made below the stand and all4 and Greenock. Now and then a ery would be heard from the stand for The Lady, but Sloan’s horse was simply in and not of the race. It was Waring all the way. When the three-quarter post | was reached Beau Ormonde sniffed the front air next to “'annf but soon died. After that second place lay between Spe- cific and Vesuvian and they fought it out on the stretch, the latter finishing ahead of the show winner by three lengths. A straggling line of horses, The Lady lead- ing the non-winners, came in with de- jected heads and sour looks. There was nothing exciting to the race on account of the Waring dominance, Shout upon shout arose from the stand for The Lady, but Sloan's horse did not respond. A favorite at odds of 2 to 1. the money rolled into the books on thia cholce. Vulcain was coupled with Waring Ln the betting, which was 44 to 1 at its | best. Jennings' stable, and Canmore, sold purse was for $11.775. the net value to the winner being $8241 75. After the race Sam Hildreth smiled as he thought of his an- nouncement on the previous day that if the weather were fine he would net start | Waring. The weather may not have been | what is usually called fine, but the track was dry and fast, and McCue—this was | his first ride in California this season— showed just how fast Waring could be made to go. | It was a genuine hollday crowd _that | flocked to Tanforan yesterday, and the | bookies were kept busy taking the monsy right away from it without the turn of > lash. The whole thing came so easy, bookles really couldn't help it. Out Of the six races but one favorite passed the wire for first money, and that was unbeatable ‘Wyoming, who was twisted around at the post when the start was made.
