The New California Jockey Club an- | nounced its list of stakes yesterday for the fall and winter season. of . racing, which will open at Tanforan Park on November 2.

He will stop at nver, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

MAGNIFICENT RENDITION OF “AIDA” DELIGHTS MUSIC-LOVERS AT TIVOLI Distinguished Vocalists Corjtribute to Make Opening of the Grand Opera Season a Notable Event---Successful Reappearance of the Neill Company at the California ND now begins the serious busl- ness of life. Grand opera is upon us! The summer is done, the sea- son begun and as serious farewell as we ever take of the rosy god- dess must now be said. “The Babes in the Woocd” have gone the way of all light and lonely nonsense, and “Ailda,” grave and gracious, now craves a hearing. The only Ferris has disappeared in the wilds of Portland, and where he opened that abundant mouth of his Salassa now stalks supreme. Collamarini rules where Annie Myers once delighted, and only change is eternal. But there’s a deal to be grateful for in this change. Last night was by much the best opening night I have ever seen dur- ing my Tivoli experience of grand opera. Things went with astonishing smooth- ness. The chorus and the orchestral work were of unusual excellence, and the cast was beyond comparison the most satisfac- tory that has been heard in the opera at the popular house. As to the audience, it was the usual comfortable, extravagantly enthusiastic_ overflowing erowd that in- variably greets the opening opera of the Tivoll season, and it outdid its customary exploits in both appreciation and ap- plause. Each singer got a huge welcome on his or her appearance—first Signor Dado_ and Castellano, then Barbareschi and Collamarini, then Salassa, then Nico- lini and even little Pio Facci, not to speak of Mr. Paul Steindorff, the leader. Flow- ers galors _there were, too, mostly for the charming Barbareschi, who won the house by her artless pleasure in receiving them. Salassa, too, received many more flowers than he owned up to, and Collamarini, Paul Steindorff and every one was thus greeted. Altogether, the season has opened to the tune of success. Signor Dado is the single newcomer in the cast. He made an excellent impres- sion on his_first (and only) appearance here with Madame Sembrich, and last night fully justified the warmth of his reception. He reminds, in personal ap- pearance, of Edouard de Reszke, and has smooth, resonant and deep voice, Used in _an _ absolutely legitimate fashion. His Ramphis met re- quirements of the part. Salassa—what a welcome he got!—is in excellent voice. One trembled, remembering his last year’s indisposition, but his opening notes dis- posed of any fear on that score. His Amonasro is a splendid plece of work from every standpoint. @ looks, sings and acts the part exactly as it should be done. Collamarini’s Amneris is new to us— there is much of Collamarini herself that is new to us thisl)'eér—perh‘aép;{)?(rl‘ig' ounds, for the shapely Carmen v {\chmrmg the time-honored build of the regulation prima donna. One discerns the Carmen in Amneris, hears the Carmen ac- cent in her voice, but the singer has the same charm in the part that made her Carmen so famous. Her voice is lovely— warm, rich, human, thrilling; used at times marvelously, but again forced as no human voice should be forced, just as it was forced in her Carmen. The part is splendidly acted, with all the power and | passion that makes the singer's work so and the singer was received distinctive, with utmost enthusiasm. Barbareschi was very nervous at the be- ginning of the evening, but later recovered herself and gave us a charming Aida. She looks the part, has an excellent make- no common _thing with Aidas—and s a true and graceful conception of the character. Her voice is both sweet and sympathetic, and were her technique surer, Barbareschi would be a very ad- mirable singer. She was greeted warmly by the audience. Castellano’s Radames is an adequate rendering. He sure of himself—always there, and his voice smooth and brilliapt— though lacking wholly in_resonance, is very serviceable. Nicolini did the King's part acceptably and Pio Facle the mes- senger. Paul Stelndorff must be congratulated on the smoothness and finish of the per- formance. He has proven himself a capa- ble and artistic conductor, one of the best we have had here. The orchestra was kept in_its place, the rhythms were elastic, the balance of tone good and the chorus work was exceptionally worthy. The scenes and staging were also of the best. usso, Repetto, Ferrari, Poletini and Nicolini will appear to-night in “Rigolet- to,” the alternating bill for the week. LANCHE PARTINGTON. California. Henry Arthur Jones’ splendid disserta- tion on marriage and the equity of the sexes done up in most palatable form in his charming play, “The Case of Rebel- lious Susan,” brought the Neill Company back to the California Theater last night. | It was a splendid performance worthy of the play and the snug little company. “Rebellious Susan” is a literary play and a false move, a wrong tone would spoil it beyond reparation. However, each player fitted neatly and well into his or her respective part and there was nothing to mar a performance which individually and_collectively was excellent. Edythe Chapman was_a thoroughly lovable, womanly Susan. She dressed the part well and played it with a delightful grace and dainty touch. Julia Dean astonished even her admirers by her splendid performance of Mrs. Quesnel. Her lines so neatly given carried well, but her delicate, girlish appearance was against her. It takes considerable imagination to picture dainty Julia Dean as a worldly wise widow. Miss Louise Brownell as Elaine Shrimpton was forcible and con- vincing. She was the woman's rights woman to the life. : “Rebellious Susan” is a play that gives the men equal chances with the women. Sir Richard Kato is essentially a role that actors call “fat,” and Nelll took the middle of the stage with it and held it in spite of all comers. John W, Burton was a salty Admiral Sir Joseph Darby. George Bloomquest certainly _‘“left his_stamp upon’’ the audience as Fergusson Poybus, and Donald Bowles was dreadfully in earnest as Lucien Edensor. The play was splendidly mounted and should do a splendid week's business. Central. The oft-seen naval drama, “The En- sign,” proved a strong drawing card at the Central last night. The frequent at: testations of approval on the part of the audience, which the fine staging of the play, together with the conscientious work of a well-cast company, evoked, roved beyond question that its popular- ty has not waned. The play is an excit- ing one, and it teaches a wholesome les- son in patriotism and love of flag and country. These are qualities which the average American cannot ignore, and it partly accounted for the frequent out- bursts of applause that greeted the vari- ous scenes as presented last night. James M. Brophy was at his best as Ensign Ben Baird, his scene before the naval court of inquiry being especially strong. As the bluff old coxswain, Jack Dudley, James Corrigan shared with the star the honors of the evening. Howard Scott, an Alcazar favorite, who made his debut at this house, gave a dignified por- of the part of Captain Wilkes. George Nicholls was an admirable Abra- ham Lincoln. Juliet Crosby, as Alice Greer, was excellent. Georgle Cooper dis- played her versatile talent to advantage The support generally was ex- cellent. Orpheum. The audience at the Orpheum experi- enced a disappointment last evening. Miss Alexandra Dagmar, the noted vocailst, was unable to appear, owing to illness, but it was announced that .the artist would be able to appear this evening without fail. The bill is among the best that have been put on the Orpheum for many_a week. San Franciscans have seen La Loie Fuller and Papinta many times, but Ameta, now dancing at the Or- pheum, is new to the city and is a pleas- ant surprise. Hugh Stanton and Florence Modena appear in “A Bargain Fiend,” and alone furnish sufficient fun for an evening's entertainment. And better stili is “The Bifurcated Girl,’ presented by ‘Will H. Murphy and Blanche Nicholls, Arras and Alice, European novelty artists, the Three Brooklyns, eccentric musical - SIGNOR DADO AS RAMPHIS, THE HIGH PRIEST, IN “AIDA,” AT THE TIVOLI OPERA-HOUSE LAST NIGHT UPON THE HIGHLY SUCCESS- FUL OPENING OF THE GRAND OPERA SEASON, artists, Ed F. Reynard, ventriloquist, and ! the Molasso-Salvaggi troupe of dancers, a troupe of performers whose deeds are but little less than spectacular, complete an excellent bill. Alcazar. Y Charlotte Thompson’s “The Adventures of Nell Gwynne” was reproduced last night at the Alcazar with Florence Rob- erts as Saucy Nell, the King’s sweetheart, before a large and well pleased audience, which showed its appreciation of the com- edy by curtain calls at the end of each of the five acts of the play. The role dis- plays Miss Roberts’ lighter vein of acting at its best, and the character loses noth- ing of its dare-devil features in her por- trayal. Miss Roberts was the character to the life and earned all the liberal ap- plause that she received. Her support was exceptionally good. White Whittlesey as Charles II was at his best and proved to be a right royal jeal- ous lover. George P. Webster was well cast, the role of Actor Haynes fitting nis hypérbolic style nicely. The support in general was excellent. Grand Opera-House. The revival of “The Senator” by the Frawley Company last evening was wit- nessed by a large audience. In the role of Senator Hannibal Rivers, “Theodore Roberts does not display the bright, breezy manner that made the assumption by Macklyn Arbuckle even superior to that of William Crane. There are many good points, however, to Roberts' per- formance. 1. J. Morgan walked through the character of Count von Strohl and his ability is wasted on the role. The quiet, artistic acting of Katherine Grey as Mabel Denman was most convincing, and Pearl Landers was buovant as Josle Armstrong, the “girl who coins words.” Mary Van Buren, as the susceptible widow, Mrs. Hillary, lacked finesse and delicacy. The support was fair. Columbia. Chauncey Olcott commenced the second and last week of his appearance at the Columbla Theater last night in his new play “Garrett O'Magh.” The house was well filled and the audience was very ap- preciative. The star's songs are sweetly rendered and each was encored. The company supporting him is well balanced. Fischer’s Concert House. At Fischer's this week opera and vaude- ville alternate with every number. The great terzette from ‘Ernani,” sung by Miss_Charity Martin and Signors Bruzzi and Wanrell, created a furor last night. Other attractions are Miss Nellie Bruce, London’s famous contortionist dancer; Jennie Metzler, juvenile specialist. and Mabel Rutherford, baliad singer; Hopper and Hopper, German comedians, rendered a laughable farce entitled ““Uncle Joshua’s Visit,” and the acrobat Karl, among oth- er feats, gave his astounding salto mor- tale, To-morrow evening a benefit will be tendered to Mr. Hinrichs. “Chutes. The Chutes has a strong bill this week. Bimm, Bomm and Brrr appear in a novel musical act. Anna Morris sings several new coon songs. The Kelcey Sisters,, dancers, repeated their former success. Seymore and Hill present a novel sketch. Liilian Levey and Arthur Parent have good voices and are clever cakewalkers. Organ Recital. Fully 2500 admirers of Professor H. J. Stewart gathered at the Pavilion last night, the occasion being his farewell or- gan recital prior to his departure for the . The grand Stanford memorial or- gan, under his magic touch, became as a thing imbued with a living soul, and for two hours the audience sat as under a spell, while at his touch the music of the masters thrilled with marvelous effect through the vast inclosure. The pro- ramme, from Boellmann's “Suite Goth- fizus" to Wagner's grand fantasia, ‘“Das Rheingold.” was replete with numbers, the rendition of which provoked continued . e applause. The noble creation of Lem- mens, an air with variations in G, was exceptionally well rendered. The mag- nificence of the organ was demonstrated beyond question when Merkel’s fantasia in D minor was presented. The slumber song of Schytte was exquisitely executed, as was also Grieg's “Triumphal March.” The programme was an excellent one and was a delightful treat to all present. James W. Erwin to Lecture. James W. Erwin will deliver an illus- trated lecture at Metropolitan Temple to- night on the subject “In the Lands of the Jap, the Chino and the Filipino.” There will be interesting intermission features. Olympia. There is a good show at the Olympla this week. Ione's poses plastique are new and Lester Reeves has some songs never before heard in this city. EVENTS IN SOCIETY Miss Isella H. Van Pelt and Thomas Mills, a banker of Kingzton, Canada. were married yesterday at noon at the home of the bride's father, Willlam Van Pelt, 1910 Devisadero street. It was a quiet wedding and only a limited number of intimate friends of the bride witnessed tho cere- mony, which was performed by the Rev. John Hemphill. The bride was attended by Miss Nea- mata V. Van Pelt, who officiated as maid of honor. Charles M. Bufford officiated as best man. Although the wedding was a simple one the house was prettily decorated for the happy occasion. Carnations and roses of every color were generously used for dec- orative purposes. After the ceremony a bridal breakfast was served, and then the hlpgy couple left for a brief visit to Pacific Grove, where the honeymoon will be spent. Their future home will be in Kingston, Canada. The fair young bride is well known in musical circles. She is the contralto of Calvary Church and a member of the Colonial Ladies' Quartet. . . . Miss Nona Roth and Edward Ballard were married on Thursday. evening at the residence of the bride’s parents, near Elmhurst, Alameda, the Rev. Mr. Mow- bray of 'the Fruitvale Congregational Church officiating. Miss Blanche McCar- ter acted as bridesmaid and Hal Ballard was best man. Mr. and Mrs. Ballard have gone north on a bridal trip. They will make their future home at Dunsmuir, whero Mr. Bal lard occupies the responsible position of foreman of the railroad yard. Mrs. Bal- lard was formerly a telephone girl in the Oakland office. . . . L. A. Bunnell, a well-to-do young stock- man of Prattville, Plumas County, and Miss Josephine Flint were married yes- terday in this city at the home of the bride’s parents. The marriage is the cul- mination of an acquaintance begun years ago in Chico. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. J. M. Woodman of San Leandro and was witnessed by a few intimate friends of the contracting par- The young couple left on the Oregon ex- press last night for Bl% Meadows, whe: they will spend their hoheymoon. They will ultimately make their home at Pratt- ville, Plumas County. The bride is highiy accomplished as a pianist and is gifted with a voice of rare sweetness. —_———— Park Commissioners Report.

NEWPORT, R. I, July 20.—The Colum- bia to-day defeated the Constitution boat for boat in a splendid race by two min- utes and fifty-four seconds and won the $1000 cup presented by John Jacob Astor. Her victory was decisive and convincing. The behavior of the Constitution on the other hand was disappointing in the ex- treme and this evening Mr. Duncan an- nounced that his boat would not take part in further races until her rig had been altered. He declared that the Constitu- tion is not doing herself justice; that she is not going well and that there is no use in racing her further until she is put in proper shape. The Constitution will not participate in the Newport yacht racing events of Thursday and - Saturday of this week as a competitor of the Independence. The Columbia, however, has been entered for these races and will sail against the Bos- ton boat.. The Constitution will go to Bristol at once to have the alterations made. If this change in the plans of the Constitution does not prevent, the next races in which she will start will take place over the Newport course on August 12 and 14 and the regatta will be under the auspices of the New York Yacht Club. In one of these races the cup offered by Sir Thomas Lipton will be sailed for. The regular trial races for the purpose of se- lecting the defender of the America’s cup will be held August 31 and September 1 and 8. The wind to-day never exceeded thirteen knots, and although there was a long roll of the sea setting in from the southwest, the water was by no means rough. In fact, Newport catboats took it quite kindly with a single reef in their main sails. The course was a total dis- tance of thirty-eight nautical miles. The wind was north by east at the start and north-northeast at the finish. It started with a force of about nine knots when the preparatory gun was fired and fresh- ening gradually as the race progressed, it attained a strength of thirteen or four- teen knots, when the Columbia was grest- ed as the winner. It is not easy for the best friend of the Constitution to make plausible excuses for her most palpable defeat. She was beaten fairly and squarely on her merits Running almost dead before the wind on the first leg of the course she at first opened quite a gap of clear water between herself and the Columbia, and it looked as though she would have a long lead in the run down the wind. So long as the wind continued light she had it all her own way, but when it freshened the Columbia slowly but surely overhauled her and when they got to the first mark was only a few lengths astern. As the two %0-footers rounded the Block Island mark the Constitution had weather berth. She did not keep it long. Instead of a beat to windward, the beat to the second mark resolved itself intu a very long leg on the port tack, with a couple of short hitches on the starboard stretch. ‘The Columbia covered this long leg three minutes and nineteen seconds faster than the new boat. This settled the race, for the Constitution was unable to even cut down this lead on the short run home and so they finished. The summary: Start. Finish. El'ps'd. Cor’ctd.

She tackled them to leeward off the Block Island mark and did windward work similar to that of the racers, but at no time did she show any great speed. i Sharkey to Meet Jeffries. BOSTON, July 20.—Tom Sharkey to-day accepted an offer to meet James J. Jef- fries before the San Francisco Athletic Club in September. The details of the match will be speedily ratified. BN PREVALS I CORN BELT Temperature in Parched District Materially Reduced. Weather Bureau Predicts Showers East of the Mis- souri River. —p— WASHINGTON, July 20.—Official advices to the Weather Bureau are confirmative of the press reports of the prevalence of rains over the corn belt last night, with cooler weather than yesterday. During the past twenty-four hours rain has fallen very generally in that section with some few exceptions, notably Southern Ohio, Kentucky and Southwestern Nebraska. While not very heavy in amount, the rains ate described officially as pretty fair for summer time. At Kansas City there was over an inch of precipitation, from a quarter to almost two inches in various parts of Iowa, 'n Nebraska the rainfall was fair, in Eastern and Northern Okla- homa there were some showers, but in Missouri they were pretty fair. Showers are predicted to-morrow east of the Mis- souri River and fair weather west. Tem- peratures were generally above 9 degrees, but in.some localities they did not get so high. For the next day or two tempera- tures will be reasonably moderate as com- pared with those of the past heated pe- riod. In many sectlons of the Middle Atlantic States there have been high temperatures to-day, but in Northern New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York they were reduced to-day as a result of showers. In Washington the weather has been exceed- ingly oppressive to-day, the thermometer registering a maximum of 97 degrees, with an unusual degree of humidity in the at- mosphere. Says Judges Are Prejudiced. STOCKTON, July 29.—Attorney A. H. Carpenter, who was indicted by the Grand Jury on charges of perjury and subornation of perjury, to-day swore to an afidavit before the County Clerk de- manding a change of venue. The affidavit states that Judges Budd and Jones are prejudiced against the afflant and that he cannot secure a fair trial in this coun- ty. He asks that the case be transferred to Sacramento County or that Judge W. G. Lorigan of Santa Clara County be called to preside at the trial. ADVERTISEMENTS.
