SO qui on WORLD'S RFZORD EASILY BROKEW BY BRUNSWIC Ina Superb Struggle Kenilworth Outsprints the Great Waring at Tanforan. BY F. E. MULHOLLAND. RUNSWICK, the clipper-rigged son of St. Carlo and Sloe, owned Ough, Huachuc d’Or in runaw: and Jorretierre fashion over terday in the remarkaoly fast time of :53%, a world's record for two-year-olds at the distance. The record for all-aged horses at the route is only three-quarters of a second lower, made by Meadows, carrying 103 pounds, at Alexander Island, a three-quarter mile track, and the mark has always been shrouded with doubt. Brunswick, carrying 109 pounds, piloted by Winnie O'Connor and a 1 to 2 favorite, had as pacemaker Rory Ough, which beat or more. Not until the stretch was reached did the favorite take command, and then he won easlly. The track had been rolled, making it lightning fast, the first sixteenth being reeled off in 6% sec- onds, faster, said Timer Dick Havey, than he ever caught a horse before. The win- ner is a superbly turned gelding, possibly not short enough coupled to suit many, but possessed of an unlimited suppiy of speed. Earlier in the week his presen: owner purchased him from A. Josephs for $3000. The youngster celebrated the change of ownership by going out and gfi?hng Corrigan, and Hildreth won him A little bit further on this splendid per- formance came very close to being over- shadowed by the battle royal indulged in between Waring and Kenilworth in the six-furlong purse sprint, in which the the entries came out Harry Stover saw that his “bird” had dropped into a hard spot, and tried to get tne brown colt ex cused, but the judges failed to see it that w Besides this precoclous pair, Head- water, Sly and Sad Sam were present.

Sy carried little or no sta- - | ble backing and receded to 10. Unfortu- nately, the start was not one of Dick Dwyer's happiest, Sly being left and Headwater getting away badly. Kenil- worth outbroke Waring, but only for a few yards. Then it simmered down to a two-horse race, the pair chasing off by themselves hedds apart. Condition told at the end, for despite O'Connor’s franti cffort astride the first choice Kenilworth, hard ridden throughout, caught the eye of the judges first by the scantest of heads. Ransch on Headwater made up a remarkable lot of lost ground, causing his supporters to clalm that had he been off on equal terms with the leaders he would have won. Outsiders disputed honors with the fa- vorites, gettinz away with three of the purses. The excellence of the card at- tracted another large crowd. Given the glassy eye even by her stable, Barney Schreiber's Companion left the maiden class in the opening scramble, at five furlon She was quoted at 12 to 1, with Dominick in_the the others away from the post won driv- ing from Chasto in 1:00%. Skip Me, ridden by Mounce and backed from 5§ to 5 to 4 to was flat-footed when the barrier went up, and, again bothcred after getting un- der way, finished away back. Don Luis, a 6 to I shot, with Ransch on his back, got the decision at tlie finish of the mile and a_furlong selling affair by a nose from Lizzella. Rio Shannon cut out all the running, and though very tired at the paddock fought it out gamely, fin. ing but a neck behind the leaders. O’Connor waited altogether too long with the favorite, Precursor, and later got in- terfered with while trying to get through on the rail. Long overdue,, Parmenion finally got to the surface, downing a big bunch of sec- ond-raters in the six-furlong seliing event, fifth to be decided. He ruled a slight fa- vorite over Foul Piay and Brenhilda, and, ridden with splendid judgment by O'Con- nor, reached home two lengths before the former. Alaska, a 10 to 1 shot, ran third. Tristraln, a warm ‘‘downtown” tip, showed speed but blew up in the stretch. “Bfll” Murry’s chestnut cripple Crom- well ran circles around his field in the closing run, at one mile and a sixteenth. The handicappers figured him the best thing of the afternoon, and he won draw- ing away from Lavator and Walkenshaw at the wire. Sir Kingston, the second choice, stiff and sore, gave it up com- pletely after running a half-mile. To-Days Entries.

The ggmes between Sacramento and San Francisco up to date have oscillated like a pendulum, and the cranks want to know if on tbe fourth swing the Senators will tag a victory to their list and thus even up matters for the final games of the se- ries on Sundag. Stricklett, the latest Senator from the Middle West, made his initial bow in the box, and was not treated either with cour- tesy .or respect. When the seventh in- ning had arrived, via slow freight, Strick- lett was so heavily mauled that he was replaced by Knell, who did much better. In the sixth the Dutch ate up Stricklett's soft packages of curves and shoots with too much relish. - i In tke heat of the struggle Hanlon,and Doyle interchanged compilments of a doubtful nature with Jack O’Connell, um- pire. It was all over an infleld fly. Han- lon would talk and say unpleasant things even after he was requested to be good and follow the shining rule about silence. He was ejected from the sack. Then Doyle interjected something not found in $paulding’s gulde and was promptly fined ust $5. McHale was played in right field by Harris, but he did nothing to draw him- self out of the common but commit two glaring, sinful errors. The score: SAN FRANCISCO. AB. R. BH. SB. PO. A. E.

PREMIUM LIST FOR MANY PROVIDES NEW CLASSES San Francisco Kennel Club’s Show in May Will Eclipse All Other Exhibitions. HE premium list of the San Fran- cisco Kennel Club is just out and it provides for 286 classes in the bench show to be held in Mechan- ics’ Pavilion on May 8, 9, 10 and 11. The show promises to eclipse any- thing of the kind ever held in the West, because all of the fanciers are anxious, to show under J. J. Lynn of Port Huron and Harry Jarrett of Philadelphia. The own- ors of setters, pointers, bull-terriers, fox- terriers and Boston terriers are especial- 1y pleased. In the fox-terrier division, aside from the smooth-coats, there will be at least twelve of the wire-hair variety, the largest number of this breed ever shown here. S There is to be lively competition in the St. Bernard classes. Philip C. Meyer yes- terday recelved two new dogs of ‘this breed for the show. One he secured direct from Switzerland. This is the rough-coated St. Bernard Berline and Mr. Meyer is very anxious to see how this perfect specimen of the Swiss type will be received by the judges.

Rowing is growing more popular among the students of the University of Cali- fornia, who are being coached by J. w. Goodwin. An interclass regatta will be held on Saturday, April 13, on Oakland Creek, and the results of the races on that day will guide the selection of the men to represent the boat club of the university in the coming contests with the oarsmen of the University of Washington. The first rowing club in the city to hold races this season will be the South End, at the meeting of which last Tuesday Dr. (. C. Dennis, Charles Jenkins and C. H. A. Creighton were appointed a committee to get.up, with the assistance of Captain . Scully, a club regatta. There will be barge races and contests in outrigged skiffs. Al Rogers is repairing the ciub boats and has taken a contract to keep them in gooa order throughout the son. The races will be held on Sundz April 28, and are intended to stir up a rowing spirit among the members, who have been growing apathetic. The crews have not yet been selected, but the cap- tain will notify those men whom he con- siders suitable and will have them out for" practice to-morrow. The regatta com- mittee will be glad to have the members of other clubs present at the clubhouse on Abpril 28. The Harbor Commissioners, in accord- ance with recent legislation, have granted a site for a boathouse to the South Ends. 1t is to the north of the Union Iron Works. The Tritors at their last meeting accept- ed an offer from the Luning estate of a piece of property near the foot of Larkin street and levied an assessment of $10 on each member to defray the cost of re- moving to the new =ite. The site offers good opportunities for bathing. The Harbor Commissioners handed the petition of the Ariel Rowing Club for a site for a boathouse to Chief Whartinger Percy Henderson, who went over the ground in company with representatives of the club and expressed himself in favor of the site requested, between Long bridge and the Arctic Oil Works wharf. - At the next meeting of the Harbor Commmission- ers the Ariel representatives will be granted a hearing, and it is believed that the club will get the site asked for. ‘Will Oppose the Fight.
