Hard coursing was the rule in the run- down of the two stakes yesterday at Union Park. The hares were more than a match for s, and but few of the poir scores were credited for kills. During the past six weeks the hares set a pace that s prised the leashmen. They kept u gait until Jast week, when a of speed was noticeable. Many followers of the sport predicted easier going for the coursers and shorter tri n the stakes. The expected did not happen. From the cpening of vesterday’s sport the hares gave evidence of renewed vigor and ded the hounds on long journe; As the ed the hares seemed im- bued with greater strength, and although relief dogs we alled into play on at least a dozer ons, three of -every four hares liberated managed to reach the welcome escape: Short ends were given decisions often enough to make the day an unprofitable | one for the talent, a total of seventeen up- sets being recorded. The running off of the first rounds of iwo stakes on Saturday found favor with cours enthusia: the attendance being noticeably larger than for many fnonths. In the oden stake Elista and M Hempstead are even favorites at 6 to 1, and from appearances they will contest for honors in the deciding course. Lilac, Veto and Jingle Bells are at 8 to 1. P pita, at 12 to 1, is a good outside chance. Wedgewood is favorite in the special event.

In the betting on the Peralta handicap, one mile and a sixteenth, Po- sition, the entry of “Dell” Fountain, was among those laid out on the bargain coun- ter. Fifteen to one, and at some of the smaller shops where scalping was done 16 to 1 a tin whistle and a cake of barber soap went with each purchase on Posi- tion. The race attracted a big crowd to the track over the bay, and seven out of ten individuals entering the ring wanted a ticket on Watercure, the top-weight, with Winnie O'Connor in the pilot-house. The latter horse carried 122 pounds, and then came a fall of 14 stories to Andrisa, with a toothpigk or a bootiack on most of the others. Among these lightweights Icicle, Jim Hale and Rio Shannon fell in for more than passing consideration. There seemed to be 2 premonition of disaster for Watercure, possibly due to O’Connor’s unlucky streak of late, as 2 to 1 could always be had about him. From a spectacular point of view a more exciting contest could not be wished for. “Dick” Dwyer started the bunch of nine on their journey in faultless fashion, with, Ransch on icicle away in front under in- structions to set a dizzy clip, followed by Jim Hale, Andrisa and Rio Shannon. The yace was too hot, for as the stretch was neared Icicle melted and Jim Hale eag- erly waited for the gong to sound corners. About this time the chances of Andrisa looked bright, when the whole bunch seemed to swoop down upon her until she buffeted about like a decoy duck on un Slough. b dock with it looking any horse’s race, spread out as they were across the track, O'Connor on the favor- ite had worked his way to the firing line and Watercure's name was shouted by hundreds. But on the far outside a brown gelding, ridden by Hoar, had been making great strides to the fore, and de- pite O'Conr desperate finish, Posi- | tion gained the honors by a neck, while | half a length back Varro, a 30 to 1 shot, made matters very interesting. The win- ner's time for the distance was 1:46, mak- ereditable performance. Water- s last around the turn after the and of course had to take his chances after that. With clearer sailing | he might have won. This was not the only spill, though, for a favorite. There were several others, for in fact Homsestead alcne saved the tal- ent from utter ruin. For those who picked them Afghan, Favorito, Sunello, Position and Byron Rose gave splendid returns for the amount invested. One form student picked the.card and he is now commander of the army of the Queen of Bavaria. Winnie O'Connor’s tardiness in leaving the barrier with Herculean in the opening sprint worked the favorite’s defeat. By the time the head of the stretch was redched Winnie had “little Willle” nearly up with the leaders and appeared to have the race in hand. Mounce on Afghan, however, got through next the rail, beat- The scale of in this event was raised fifteen pounds above the scale and the winner covered the six furlongs in 1:14%4. Apparently the jumping horses are im- proving, for the mile and a half hurdle event was a pretty affair, resulting in the win of Favorito, a 5 to 1 chance, ridden by Mattier and carrying 142 pounds. Be- fore taking the last obstacle it Jooked as as if Phil Archibald, the favorite, piloted by Peters, would land, but Favorito out- jumped him, winning almost easily at the wire from Sam Green. The favorite ran into the show. On form it looked,as if Artilla was the best of the six starters in the mile and a quarter selling run, and, a 4 to 5 favoritg, the brown mare finished second. Sunello, with Birkenruth in the saddle and 4 to 1, led from start to finish. Burns astride the favorite did not furnish one of his best efforts, for after zigzagging about lost by a length. Compass, a 30 to 1 shot, ran third and El Mido fourth. Green Morris’ colt Homestead was com- pelled to step a mile in 1:40 to win the two-year-old handicap, and then he only laid Lapidus away by a head. O’Connor, who rode the favorite, was cut off by Royalty about three furlongs from tne stand, and only led the Jennings entry out in a hard drive. The stay of Botany |out in front was postponed after two- thirds of the distance had been traversed. To get out, the losers all unloaded on Autolight to take the last event, sending the Morris horse to the post a 7 to 5 fa- vorite. Slow, as usual, to get moving, the | brown fellow ran third. Byron Rose, an 8 to 1 shot, having Ransch in the saddle, never relinquished the lead, downing School for Scandal, another outsider, a half-length. Track Notes. ne bookmalkers again weighed Langford did a thriving busi- ness with his combination book, and the two field books had all they could attend to. It is beginning to dawn on turfmen that | “Dell” Fountain is a pretty keen judge of horseflesh. In 1898 “‘Dell” bought Tempo for $50 and inside of a month the chestnut hétse was beaten but a head by Scottish Chieftain jn the Labor day handicap run at Anaconda. Some weeks ago he pur- chased Position from J. Creeley for $700, {and the Racine gelding promises to de- velop into a better horse than Potente.

Winnie O'Connor, with “Dutch” Lewis, left for Sacramento last night, where Winnie, it is said. will put in a week of {rest at tife Haggin ranch.

Hanlon of the jockey club, when seen to-day re- garding the status of the owners, train- ers and jockeys who are running or rid- ing horses at the Charleston Industrial Fair racecourse, sald: *“The Charleston track is neither recog- nized nor licensed by the jockey club. During the Brooklyn Jockey Club meet- ing ‘ast fall the Charleston people made i application for, a license and the jockey club refused them. During the Bennings meeting a few weeks ago I was asked by several horsemen as to what would happen if they ran horses at the Charles- ton meeting. Although the rules are dia- tinct on the matter, I did not care to an- swer the question and telegraphed imme- dfately to August Belmont, who sent the following reply, ‘Not being a regularly licensed course, horsemen will get into trouble through racing at the Charleston track.” Rules 1 and 7 of the rules of racing are explicit in regard to the mat- ter and make it unnecessary for the Jjockey club to take action, as by violat- ing the rules owners, trainers and jock- eys outlaw themselves Lennep Wins the NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 28.—Crescent City | summary: THE CALL'S RACING FORM CHART.

Seeks to End Discussion|Hard Played Game Results of Incident in Recent in a Score of 15 Tournament. to 10. y RIVERSIDE, Dec. 28.—Smarting under their defeat at the hands of the Stanford football team on November 30 the Perris Indian School eleven made a desperate stand against the invincible Berkeley team this afternoon. The Indians scored twice against their famous opponents, the final score being 15 to 10 in favor of the varsity boys. Fully 2000 people saw the game, which was played In a strong norther. Two long runs by Whipple in the first half took the sphere over the Indian line. The try at goal failed. Score 5 to 0. The Indians had the ball at the end of the half. The Indians made a decisive stand in the second half. Berkeley kicked off, but lost the ball. Magee secured it and made a spectacular run of thirty yards for a touchdown. Score 5 to 5. Magee made another star play, breaking through the Berkeley line and running the leagth of the fleld for a touchdown. Score 10 to 5 in favor of the Indians. This score was the occasion for a heart- to-heart talk to the varsity boys vy thefr captain. End runs by Mini won the game for Berkeley, as he scored two touch- downs. The try at goal failed. Score 15 to 10 in favor of Berkeley. Scholder was injured and had to leave the fleld and Moore was knocked out a little later. Neither was seriously Injywd. Had the first half been played byWthe Indians with the same vigor as marked the second half the score would probably have been a tie. The Stanford Glee Club sang in the Loring Opera-house to-night. The two football teams divided honors with the performers. HARRIMAN APPOINTS A GENERAL AUDITOR Erastus Young, Formerly of Union Pacific Road, Receives the Re- sponsible Post.

The public is invited to attend. George F. Whitney, a member of the tournament committee of the California Tennis Club, who won the class singles held on the club courts Christmas day, decided last night to play a match with Chet Smith, who lost by default on Wednesday. Smith was in the second class, in which was the largest entry and most evenly- matched players of any of the classes. The tournament commitee agreed to postpone the play-off until to-day, but after Smith had left the grounds Whitney was in favor of playing it off at once. Grant Smith and Charles Kuehn were the other members of the committes present. The former voted against this aection, while the llatter refused to vote. The tournament was played. This did not meet with the approval of many of the members of the club. Whitney considered the best way out of the difficulty would be to play Smith a match for the silver cup. It will be played this morning and Smith will receive “half thirty,” the handicap allowed by the committee. Smith was in the half with Wood and Collier and has expressed his Intention of playing each of these men should he de- feat Whitney. His first match would be with Wood, who would receive ‘half thirty.” Should Smith beat Wood he would next play Collier and receive odds of “fifteen.” While Smith has Ilittle chance of beating Whitney with the handicap allowed him, he will at least be afforded an opportunity of meeting the champion which he did not have on Christmas day. Whitney has shown he has the instinet of a sportsman by his action in the matter.
