After a fire- cracker had been thrown, which went over a tree and landed on Wilson's porc Wilson stepped from the porch, took hold of & post with a flat top with his right hand and placing his left hand in his hip pocket pulled out a revolver and fired into the crowd of boyes and girls, the bullet striking his sister. He did not see Mrs. Wilson on the porch after the shot was — opposite Wilson's house, and after the firecracker hai exploded and ‘fallen on Wilson's porch Wilson came from the porch with his hands in his pockets. He leaned against the post with a round ball on top, put his right hand in his hip pocket,. pulled out a revolver and fired into the crowd. She did not see any one except Wilson on the porch before or after the shot was fired. She was positive that it was the post with the ball on top against which Wilson leaned before he fired the shot and that he used his right hand. The boy was recalled, and on being again questioned repeated that it was the post with a flat top that Wilson grasped with his right hand, while he fired the shot with his left hand. The witness said he had his eyes on Wilson all the time. The other witnesses examined were Cor- poral George Russell, who produced a dia- gram of the scene of the shooting, which he had made,-and Dr. Giannini, who made the autopsy on the girl's body at the Morgue. The defense ,will not put on any wit- nesses, but there are many more to be examined for the prosecution.

DETROIT, July 17.—In the free-for-all pace this afternoon at the Grosse Pointe track, Coney, the favorite, went the fastest mile ever traveled in a contest upon the track, going the distance in 2:02, which is three-fourths of a second better than the gelding’s previous record. The attendance was 5000. Indiana had the pole in the first heat. The four horses were sent off to a perfect start. As they rounded the first turn Coney took the pole and led, with Ana- conda next.

SPLIVALO WINS TENNIS HANDICAP CHAMPIONSEIP A novel event was held yesterday on the courts of the California Tennis Club. The affair was a handicap doubles and singles, in which only four men participated. The first match was a doubles between Hugh Hume and Ray Splivalo and Ray Cornell and Adrian Splivalo, in which the latter team allowed their opponets odds of fifteen. In spite of the large handicap Cornell and Adrian Splivalo won three sets out of four, the score in their favor being 6—0, 6—2; 4—6, 6—2. Hume had never played before 4 crowd of spectators and consequently was afflicted with stage fright in the early part of the match. Later on, when his nervousness had worn off, his play improved. and with the able assistance of his pariner they took the third set. Cornell was the star of the four, but was little ahead of his partner, who played a very clever game. As there was but one cup offered the winning team decided to split up and play a handicap singles match to see who would become the owner of the prize, and, incidentally, the handicap champion of Belmont. Cornell agreed to allow his partner in doubles the large handicap of thirty each game. The fact that he either over-esti- mated his own ability or under-estimated the ability of his opponent was soon ap- parent, §or Splivalo obtained a big lead at the start and was never headed: The handicap seemed to worry Cornell and he was unable to put up his best game, while Splivalo played very aggres- sively and took many chances, which en- abled him to win out rather easily. The score, in Adrian Splivalo’s favor, was 62, Many spectators from Belmont and the city were on hand and were treated to some very good tennis. With Coney still in the lead they passed | In the second heat Coney was favorite | B 2 e e a2 o] Boomerang in Sausalito. ST Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAUSALITO, July 17.—The disclosure in to-day's Call regarding the *joker” in Assembly bill 456 is the topic of comment here. The decision of the Supreme Court, considered in connection with the law as doctored by Senator Tayfor and Assem- blyman Kelley, convinces the authorities that the County Supervisors of Marin County cannot impese license on saioons in this place. To-day Adolph Silva, Trustee of Sausa- lito, introduced an ordinance in the City Board taxing all saloons and adding to the city license a sum equal to the county license knocked dlit by the Kelley-Taylor law. The Trustees called upon the City Attorney to-night and said: “Did you see The Call to-day? We want an ordinance prepared which will include the county license knocked out by the Kelley amendment to the Political Code.” The situation is this: The saloon men have signed an agreement to pay Taylor and Mason a certain sum to obtain im- munity from payment of license imposed by the Supervisors of the county. The liquor men are obliged under the signed agreement to pay counsel fees. The City Trustees, however, do not propose that the public shall lose any revenue, hence they intend to fix a city license that will equal both the eity and the county license hitherto imposed. The prospect is not a cheerful one for the liquor dealers. They will be compelled to pay as much for li- cense as they formerly paid, and in addi- tion thereto will contribute a fixed sum to the manipulators of the new law. San Bafmub. The San Rafael Hunt Club will hold its next paper chase Saturday, July 20. The hunt club will assemble at the Hotel Ra- fael for the start at 3:30. There will be a hunt of eight or nine miles, and the fin- ish will be near the restaurant at Fair- fax, where the riders and friends wiil gather for an afternoon tea. The entries so far have been very large, and this will probably be the meet of the season.

Breeders’ Association Will Open Its Progamme on July 30. Ll Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, July 17.—All of the blue-blooded trotting and pacing horses that are in training for the races this year are congregated at the State Fair grounds, in preparation for the meeting of the Pa- cific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders’ As- soclation, which will be held on July 30 and 31 and August 1, 2 and 3. This meet- ing will open the racing circuit for 1901, and will be followed by a meeting at Santa Rosa and one at Woodland, to be held before the State Fair. From the speed shown by the horses in their work- outs it is expected that a number of green ones will come to the front at thi: ing and prove to be “‘crackajacks. are.several horses entered in the pacing, pursc $1000, that have been show- ing quarters better than 30 seconds and miles close on to 2:10, and it is expected that when it comes to a race they will cut the latter figure several seconds, as the Sacramento track will be in prime condi- tion for fast time. The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breed- crs’ Association is one of the oldest and strongest organizations of the kind in the country and numbers among its members the proprietors of all the leading breeding farms in the State and all of the weil known horsemen. The association em- | ploys paid officials in the judges’ stand and conducts its races strictly aecord- ing to rule. Among the stand-bys that will be seen in the sulky are ‘“‘Farmer” Bunch, who has a better string this year than he ever started out with before; Ed Lafferty not a large one, but c: ra g0od pr v arrived in Sac- ones from the A.

One of the sensational races of the meet- ing will be the 2:14 trot, in which are en- tered Chief, » 1,; Oseto, 3%; Lottie, McBriar, 2:14; Anzella, il ; Boydello, 2:14%; Ned 5%, and the green mare, Nora here never has been a more closely matched field of t trotters named for a race in California than these nine horses. Each and every one of the record horses has been working around his mark lately, and wonderful stories have come up from San Jose about “Farmer” Bunch’'s mare Nora McKinney; so that there is a strong feeling among the trainers that no matter how fast they | 8o in this race the McKinney mare will be up among the money-winners. It should surprise no one if it take six or even héats to deside the winner of the | 4 trot. All six of the $1000 purses for the breed- | ers’ meeting that closed on the 1st of July were d red filled. There were seven- teen entries in the 2:25 class pace, and all of the other classes filled with big fields. The association closed purses on the 15th for the balance of the programme, and in ad- | dition to the regular events there will be three or four road races for members of the Golden Gate Park Driving Club of | San Francisco and for the Sacramento Driving Club. These races will excite a great deal of local interest, as owners are to drive. It is proposed that on the first day of the meeting, which is Tuesday, July 0, | ladies shall be admitted free, and as there are many stylish turnouts in Sacramento that are driven by ladies the assoclation will offer a handsome prize for the finest single or double rig that will be shown on the first day of the meeting. It is ex- pected that. there will be a number of competitors for this prize. RACES ON EASTERN TRACKS. Purse-Winners on Number of Courses in the Country. ST.

The scene represents a city built upon the hills be- ing destroyed utterly by fire, and the ef- feot of the gradual creeping up of the flames, the quick spreading of the de- stroying element, the destruction of one building after another, and the flnal crashing down of the walls into a heap of fiery smoking ruins is an altogether ex- ceptional stage picture.

It was impossible for A. W. Gore to get away. What makes the matter worss is that Messrs. Ward and Davils, who came here and got beaten, behaved in a thoroughly sports- manlike way.
