The Alameda kennels’ fast young grey- hound Merriac won first honors in the special stake yesterday at Union Cours- ing Park. Merrimac was in good condi- tion, and easily disposed of his opponents until he met America in the final. Geary's courser had shown better work than was expected of him after his hard winuing last week, and twice brought money to his backers, who had played him on the short end. The talent fancied Merrimac, however, and made him the choice at odds of 2 to 6.

Mogan, driver of the O'Far- rell-street police station patrol wagon, was stricken with heart failure yesterday afternoon while in the pursuance of his duties. About 4:20 o’clock a call was re- ceived at the station from Geary street and Central avenue, where Irwin Fraser of 2031 Laguna street had fallen off a Geary-street car and received injuries. Driver Mogan and Officer E. E. Dalton went to the place with the wagon to re- move the ixflured man to the lmergency Hospital. ogan was asslstin, Fraser into the wagon when he sudgenly feil backward into the street. His fellow of- ficer thought at first that he had broken his neck, but as the fall was so slight this was almost an impessibility. The wagon which Mogan had just been in charge of ‘was called into service to carry both Fraser and the prostrate po- liceman to the hospital. Mogan died on the way. A superficial examination of his body failed to reveal a broken neck, and as he was a victim of heart disease it Is presumed that is what caused his death. Mogan's wife, sister and mother were immediately summoned. The whole force is in deepest sympathy with the bereaved relatives. The dea< man’s mother is 70 years of age, and it is feared the shock may prove fatal to her. Mogan was a most popular officer and well liked by all who knew him. He had been on the police force little more than two years, having been appointed by the old board just before it retired, and was always deemed an excellent officer by his svperiors. The deceased was a brother of Charles J. Mogan, who is now in Alaska, and of Gus F. Mogan, a lieuten- ant in the Fire Department. He was a covsin of Police Judge E. P. Mogan and C. Mogan, a dentist. His mother and one sister live at 602 Filbert street, while he had another sister, Mrs. J. Kitterman, of 532 Lombard street. The body was removed to undertaking ariors. The funeral announcement will e made later. STRAIGHT SCORES RULE AT UNION CLUB SHOOT Five Trapshots Break Twenty-Five Bluerocks at Ingleside With- out a Miss.

MERRINAG WINS [ATHLETES NAMED PLAYERS SHOW SUPERB HORSEMANSHIP IN MATCH FULL OF SENSATIONAL MOVES English Riders Win by a Score of Four to Three, the Winning Goal Being Made Within Two Minutes of the End of the Game—Driscoll and Drybrough P HE polo team of the Hurlingham Club, England, defeated the red- jacketed Burlingame clubmen on the polo field yesterday by a score of four to three. The match was pronounced the fastest, flercest, clever- est ever played on the Burlingame fleld, which has been the scene of many sen- sational games. The match last year be- tween teams representing the same clubs was won by Burlingame by.a score of six to four. z The teams were made up as follows: Burlingame—R. M. Tobin, 'J. 8. Tobin, T. A. Driscoll and W, S. Hobart; Hur- lingham—Lawrence McCreery, F. Men- zies, Charles Wheeler and T. B. Dry- brough. In horsemanship and in the knowledge of the game there was little to choose — T B. DRYBROUVSH > oF ENGLAND ! + JOE TOBIN RIPING lay Well e OFF WHEELER between the two teams. It was conceded the visitors were better mounted than the Burlingame men, having added to thelr stable during thelr stay on this ccast some of the fastest ponies to be had. This was apparent several times when the Hurlingham men beat their rivals to the ball through the superior speed of their ponies. A large assemblage of fashionably gowned ladies and their escorts watched the progress of the game intently. They were quick to recognize a clever play and applauded the work of each team. At the close of the contest Walter Hobart called for three cheers for the victors. They were given with a will. Burlingame Is Penalized. Burlingame was twice penalized for off- side plays, but on neither occasion aid it materially affect the final result. Wheeler scored the first goal of the game for the visitors after nine and a half minutes’ play, every moment of which was exciting. The goal of each team was threatened several times. Tom Driscoll was the first to show prominent- ly, running the ball dangerously near the Hurlingham goal. Drybrough kept him from seoring, sending the ball back to the middle of the field Here Walter Hobart took possession, but was unable to advance it far. All this time Dick Tobin was busy “riding off” Wheeler. Drybrough and Driscoll had another en- counter with honors even. Wheeler sent the ball half way down the field with a clean shot, only to have it returned by Hobart in three strokes. Lawrence Mc- Creery finally secured possession and took the ball down the field, Wheeler sending it fairly through the gdal posts and scoring the first point in the game. in the second period Joe Tobin tied the score. Farlier in the perlod Hobart ran the ball down to the end of the field, but could not place it between the posts. Tobin finally secured possession and scored. The ball was kept in play after iime was up in the second period and Dris- coll sent it between the posts. The spec- tators sent up a cheer for Burlingame, only to learn that the play dia not count. Burlingame scored soon after the ball was put in play in the third perfod. There was a tangle of men and ponies, and out of the confused mass shot the ball, making the score two for Burling- ame to one for the visitors. The remainder of the third period was fuil of action. Driscoll saved the Bur- lingame goal and followed this perform- ance with a great shot nearly to the op- posing goal. Menzies secured the ball and ran it across the field. Hobart blocked the progress of the ball and sent it back toward the center. There were several bumping matches and nearly a head-on collision between Drybrough and Joe Tobin. No damage. Driscoll nearly scored toward the end of the third period, driving the ball across the line just outside the goal line. . Hurlingham Scores Twice. The visitors scored two goals in the fourth period, one after five minutes’ play, the other at the end of seven min- utes. They went to work quickly and soon had the ball in their opponent’s ter- ritory. Hobart, backed up by Driseoll, then drove it back. McCreery took pos- session and was driving it down the fleld when he lost it. He quickly regafned it again and, securing a gocd lead over the rest of the fleld, sent it between the goal posts. This made the score a tie—2 to 2. The visitors missed a goal imme- diately afterward, sending it just outside the post. They followed this up by scor- ing. Drybrough hit the goal post with the ball and McCreery immediately drove it between the posts.” Score 3 to 2. The visitors played a sensational game in this period. They were better mounted than their opponents and took desperate chances. The score was tied in the last period, and then Hurlingham came on and won the game when there were two minutes to play. Driscoll was on a gray pony and was at his best. He outrode Menzics in a_ dash for the ball, starting a length be- hind and beating out his hard-riding op- ponent. Driscoll drove the ball down the fleld in three strokes, the last leaving it directly in front of the goal, but a little outside. Menzies galloPed up, and in trying to get the bail out of danger drove it squarely between the posts, scoring the point for the team he was op- posing. Hurlingham scored the point which won the match when there were two minutes to play. The Burlingame men called for fresh gonles. but the time was too brief to make any headway against the Eng- lish team. B The strain on the game little ponies was a ‘severe one, as it was the first warm day on which they ‘were used this sea- son, and the sharpness of the competi- tion stirred the players to unusual ef- forts. Menzies' pony Melba, formerly owned by Walter Hobart, failed at a critical point of the game. It was over- come by the heat and staggered about, finally unseating its rider.

Special Dispatch to The Call. AUSTIN, Nev.,, March 30.—Lander Coun- ty citizens will rid their neighborhood of wild horses in a rather unique manner. | A big wild horse drive has been planned, | and arrangements for it are now complete. The date of the great event has been set for April 25, and it is exciting the inter- est of stockmen in this as well as in other sections of the State, It is estimated that between 4000 and 5000 wild animals will be slaughtered and left as food for the carrion crows. Al- ready 100 men have agreed to participate, but it is expected that twice that number will aid in the drive. For some time past the farmers and stockmen have experienced much trouble | from the immense droves of wild horses. | ‘These animals dash wildly about the hills and valleys, destroying crops as well as scattering herded vattle. The horses are of no value. They cannot be tamed, and, In fact, cannot even be caught. Costly an- imals that have been in service for years often tollow in the wake of these bands and are lost to their owners. ‘When the proposition of killing the wild horses was advanced it was warmly wel- comed. A drive of a similar character was held years ago, but on a smaller scale and with results that were so satisfactory that there was little difficulty in enlisting tr{: efforts of every one in the county. The plans, as arranged, are for con- certed attacks from; each end of the county. The citizens of Upper Reese River, in the northern portion, will as- semble at Midas, and the inhabitants of Smith Creek Valley, in the southern sec- tion, at Peterson’s ranch. These two bod- ies of men, well mounted, will advance in the directfon of each other, driving the wild herds ahead of them. Many of the animals will be shot on the run, and more will be driven into corrals constructed at | intervals along the drive. At the point where a meeting is expected pits have been dug, into which the horses will be run to their death. It is expected that several days will be required for the drive. Business in the farming and cattle sections will be entire- 1y suspended, but those who will devote their time consider that their future re- ‘ward will be more than ample to compen- sate them. ‘Will Race on “Home Trainers.” A hometrainer bicycle race, in which the fastest riders on the coast are en- tered, will be held to-morrow night in Golden Gate Hall, under the auspices of the San Francisco Wheelmen. Lace Down- ing and Benton Downing will represent the Garden City Wheelmen; A. T. Smith and Emil Hartter, Oakland Wheelmen: A. Carl and L. F. Clifton, California Cycling Club; 8. Perrine and G. Wyman, Bay City 'Wheelmen: Al Knox and George Cushman, San Francisco Wheelmen. Each rider will pedal three miles and the best average time of the riders representing a club will capture the cup. —_—— Walcott May Meet Gardner.

Bl ENTERPRISE OF AAILWAY MEN Syndicate Secures New Seaboard Outlet From Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, March 30.—A new seas board outlet from Pittsburg, the Chesae peake Western Railway, is assured, ace cording to a statement issued by Joseph W. Reinhart, formerly president of the | Atchiscn, Topeka and Santa Fe, and who | 1s now at the head of the syndicate which | Is furthering the project. Reinhart says: | It is not generally known, but it is & fact that before the Pennsyivania Railroad Com- peny secured control of the tidewater traffic through the purchase of the Baltimore and Ohto, Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohlo a number of men quietly took up the project for the construction of a line of | rallway from the Ohio River _through tha Northern West Virginia coal flelds and Vir- | ginia_to the Atlantic Coast. This enterprise | has been carried forward and has now a foundation upon whicii the whole structure will shortly be erected. This project Is known as the Chesapeake | Western Rallway. It begins at Gloucester ' Point or York Harbor, Va., where a large | acreage of land for a tidewater terminal has | been bought. The line runs northwesterly and | Westerly, taking in the Chesapeake and West- | ern Rallway—twenty-seven miles bullt and in | operation In the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. | which is owned by the syndicate—through 100 miles of the coal flelds of West Virginia to & point near Parkersburg. Construction work on over 100 miles of the line westwardly through the Shemandoah and Allegheny Mountains into West Virginia now under way, with fourteen miles of tra laid, and over half of the entire line has been surveyed and located. estimates of construc- tion made thereupon and preparations are now being completed for gemeral construction. The line is In no sense a paralel road with { any existing rallway. but opens up new and proiific territory throughout its length. The greatest care was exercised by the owners to secure an ccean tidewater termina! that would be in every respeet suitabie for handling the large traffic of a trunk line rail- way and Gloucester Point was selected. It is of much significance that the west- ern terminus of this project is at Parkers- burg, W. Va., to which eity a line is now being built by the Goulds from a conmec- tlon with the Wheeling and Lake Erle at Zanesville. It is aiso significant that George J. Gould, the head of the Gould Il;"""lu' spent a '.:lkh“h Gloucester oint last summer an thoroughly In touch with the whole situation, i » ~
