O well did the talent have the mudlarks starting in the different events at Oakland yesterday sized up that but two escaped its prac- ticed eye, the choices taking cverything else. For some reason, per- | haps his shifting form, Pat Morrisscy does not hold the sarne grip on the public affection as of old, for he was one of | those overlooked. The track, sioppy with mud as it was, seemed made to order for | him. Still, in the betting on the mile and | a sixteenth selling affair, with a field of | eight going to the post, Pat's odds de- scribed an ‘“‘up-shoot,” ascending from 2 to 4. As Dominick had already piloted three winners over the bar in safety, the crowd remained faithful, unloading on | Herculean at ¢ to 5. While Dominick was | busy trying to keep the {favorite up, | Mounce stole away in the lead with Pat | Morrissey and the Celtic named horse, | traveling by easy stages, splashed in as he pleased in front of Castake, an 8 to 1 hot, the favorite following. The attendance was extremely large for blue Monday,” the betting ring being | well filled. Master Dominick still has his [runng clothes on, finishing on four win- ner and_his followers have nothing but money. Mounce, too, is holding up his end in the saddle, for besides his win on Morrissey, he got the decision on Lennen jeai Ormonde in a hard drive. ghout no fault could be found wit' n if mud did not add to its Cup slipped into an exceedingly n the opening sprint at six and The mare closed a 1 to Willlam an a far furiongs. 4 chance and won k th e third choic | third, it being his first start in some time. | liowing this came the win of the mile | 1 run by Norford, against which 3 to 2 was laid for a little. Dominick, who had the mount, indulged The Benedict with the lead to the back stretch turn. | Then going to the front, the race was fin- ished in professional style, The Benedict leading out Cromwell for the piace. Althcug y could be termed equal | favorites, it is just likely that Prestene 8§ to 5 did have a shade on Mike Mur- in the betting on the two-year-old mble.

B e e o ] AT TANFORAN TRACK BY LOUIS HONIG. | AVORITES ruled in the mud of nforan yesterday in five out of ones scratched Alice Doughe! the six races and the one excep- | tion was a second choice. So th: “‘bookie. raised their voices to | heaven, but not with that degree of con- | demnation that usually accompanies a | succession of lucky favorite pickings. | Most of the first choice were odds-on and were shied at by the bettors. The track | was soft and muddy, not sloppy or mushy. Pupil, mounted by Winnie O'Connor, won the first race easily, It was a tri- | angular affair in which Formero and Gonfalon were the other sides. Pupll was |a 4 to 5 favorite, Formero and Gonfalon receiving a slight backing. Soon after the start Gonfalon and For- mero played the team act up the back stretch, Pupil lying in wait. When they { turned into the stretch O’Connor shot | Pupll out and Gonfalon seemed to stick | fast. Even Formero found no difficulty howed & strong dislike for the mud. The second race was quadrangular and went to Kenilworth, the fayorite, Tommy | Burns in_the pilot-box. The race was | run strictly on the form of the bookmak- ‘H'x‘ slating of chances. O'Connor, on Brutal, was given a strong play at 8 to 1 until the price dropped a point. The race was Kenilworth's at every stage, Brutal working up peg by peg for the place, and Ada N coming in for the show. Kenilworth was the band leader and led the others a merry dance for more than even of the eight furlongs. The third race was nothing but Astor, with B up. High Hoe found the field nd Dangerous Mald was not ia her element. Astor had the headlights out from start to finish, High Hoe and Dangerous Maid playing second and third 2 or was a 1 to 2 favorite. Barrack, steered by O'Connor, was a prohibitive favorite in the mile and thr-c Iurlong route Everybody Kknew that Barrack doted on mud, liked the distance, and that Owensboro and Topmast fancied the dry footing. O’Connor rode a pre: allowing Owensboro and La Borgia out until the last turn Then Barrack tore up track and walked in ahead of the Owensboro got the place from to wear themsely into the stretch. the fth race over the six furlong route went to the favorite, Maggie Davis, with Burns doing the w eering act. Maggle s well liked in the betiing and Nellie orest, Winnie O’Connor up, was second cholce. Amasa, 12 to 1, ridden by Enos, wasn't thought off, but when the race was run Amasa and Doublet had it ail to themselves until the stretch. Then Maggle Davis came from behind and Nel- lie Forest was urged to the front. Mag- gie proved a winner, Amasa getting the place and Nellie Forest the show. In the sixth race, a mile for four-vea olds, Macy was the favorite. Walken- shaw, with Tommy Burns in the saddle, rode home for first money, Macy getting the place. Lomond, who came in for the show, and Walkenshaw led most of the way, Macy passing Lomond for the place. [ —— Track Notes. Bullman will be seer in the saddle again to-day at Oakland. James F. Caldwell, the veteran starter, is reported to be serfously ill at his resi- dence in this city. Ten books were again chalking prices at the track across the bay. A party of Pennsylvanians drifted into Tanforan yesterday and cleaned up over $3060. They were L. Streuber, president of the Erie and Buffalo Steamboat Com- pany: M. Weisbrod, a wealithy Philadel- phia brewer, and Andrew Kaul, & promi- nent lumberman of St. Marys. Steered by one of the local wise ones of the race- track, they played favorite after favorite until ‘the last race. Then they went to Macy for $500 to $400. As the party leaves to-day the ring is $3000 the loser by the visit of the lucky Pennsylvanians. Entries for the following race, to be decided at Oakland Wedpesday, March 13, will close at 11 a. m, to-day: For three-year-olds and upward; $500, of which $70 to second and $30 to thi ‘weight, 35 pounds below the scale; non-winners <ince November 1, 1800, allowed 2 pounds for each beating up to § pounds.

His brother, who is an employe of the Board of Health, was re- cently taken ill with a slight eruption on his face. He was bundledfnto the rickety ambulance and sent out on tha San Bruno road. Walsh thinks it was a_shame that his brother was so treated. The members of the Board of Health say that with the funds at their disposal modation could be. affordes T accom= MATTERS OF CITY BUSINESS | DISCUSSE D BY SUPERVISORS, State Senate Asked to Pass| Mayor Deplores Publication Schussler Declares the City Bill for Purchase of Redwoods. gt e Repaving of Four Downtown Blocks Is Ordered Again—Owners of Fences Must File In- demnity Bonds. The Board of Supervisors yesterday adopted a resolution memorializing the State Senate to pass the bill appropriat- ing the sum of $250,000 for the purchase of the California Redwood Park. The reso- lution was introduced by Reed, who made a brief"plea for the preservation of the redwoods. At Comte's suggestion the resolution was ordered telegraphed im- mediately to thelSpeaker of the Senate in view of the prospectiye adjourrment. It is as follows: 3 Whereas, The bill for the creation of a S:‘blll;' ia redwood park has passed thie the Eiate ot Caiitornia’and is now pending in the Senate; and Whereas, The Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco has partici- pated in the movement for the preservation ot these trees since its inception; now therefore e it : Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco hereby petitions the Senate of the State to pass the said California redwood park bill; and be it Resolved further, That the clerk of this board be and he is directed to transmit a copy of this resolution to the clerk of the Senate. : An ordinance ordering the repairing o Sacramento, Clay and Washington streets from Montgomery to Sansome, and Pine street from Sansome to Battery, with bituminous rock or asphalt, was passed . It is necessary to_invite new bids for the work, as the Board of Works erroncously exacted indemnity from the bidders, which is sald to be il- legal by the City Attorney. Hhe Mwentiath Century ‘Athletic Club and the National Sport ng Club were granted permission to hold boxing exh‘- bitions respectively in April and May. The Chief of Police and Chief Engineer of the Fire Department were directed to have . strictly enforced all requisite fire and police regulations on the nights of each exhibition. The ordinance regulating the use of signs and transparencies projecting over | streets was deferred until the opinion of the City Attorney as to its legality is obtained. Reed held that the permission to malntain permanent encroachments was illegal on its face. The ordinance requiring owners of fences to fille an indemnity bond was fin- ally passed. An ‘ordinance transferring a school lot on San Bruno avenue, near Twenty-fifth street, from the school to the fire depart- n.ent_for the erection thereon of an en- ine house, went over for one week that t might be ascertained whether or not the Board of Education approves the transfer. An ordinance providing for the accept- ance of Jackson street from Walnut to Laurel, Washington street from Maple to Spruce and Alameda street between Kan- sas and Rhode Island was passed to print. POLICE SPOIL CLEVER SCHEME OF GAMBLERS Lottery Tickets and Drawings Con- cealed in Large Basket Fall Into Officers’ Hands. By the arrest of a Chinaman who is more than 70 years of age, Lieutenant Price and posse last night discovered a novei scheme to baflle their efforts in suppress- ing gambling in the Chinese quarter. While standing at the corner of Sacra- mento and Dupont streets shortly after 8 o’'clock Price and his men saw the aged Chinaman enter the lottery joint kept by one of the boss gamblers. He carried on his shoulder a basket such as is used by Chinese laundrymen in carrying washing. He remained inside only a few minutes, and as he left the place the officers s(epged up ¢o him and started to examine the basket. Becoming alarmed, the Chinaman took to his heels, but was overhauled after a short chase. Carefully concealed in the hollow of the basket Price and his men found a miscellaneous assortment of lot- tery tfekets and drawings. After beinz taken to the City Prison the Chinaman admitted that he had been employed by the proprietor of the game to distribute the drawings and to ieave the tickets in various places designated by him. By travellng in the guise of a laundry- man he hoped to be able to fool the po- lice. He was at once released on cash bail, furnished by one of the keepers of the game. — e THURSTON AND CRIBB ARE TO BATTLE AGAIN National Club Matches Them to Fight the Latter Part of This Month. Manager Groom of the National Ath- letic Club last night completed the card for the boxing exhibition to be given by his organization on the 29th of this month. The men who were matched will appear before the club's examining physician to- morrow, and if they are found to be in good bodily health they will sign articles. The event of the evening will be the contest between Otto Cribb of Australia and Charles Thurston of this city. This will be their second meeting.
