Carries Heavy Impost on a Muddy Track at Fort Erie. o Epecial Dispatch to The Call. BUFFALO, N. Y., July 14—The sixth renewal of the Canadian Derby was won at Fort Erfe to-day by M. J. Daly’s Claude, the Lissak colt, which has al- ready to his credit the California, St. Louis and Cumberland Derbies and had finished second in the great American Derby, in which he carried top weight. Claude was well weighted in to-day's race, his impost being 127 pounds. An early morning rain had made the track muddy, but as all tracks look allke to the Daly colt the bookmakers never laid bet- ter than 1 to 2 against him. The second choice was Willlam Hendrie's Reserva- tion, whose stronghold is gyud, and many played him to beat the horse with the Derby habit, thinking that the distance, a mile and & quarter, was not enough for Claude. Sir Gallant, which also was well liked, jumped out in front at the fall of the flag and got a lead of five lengths. This he kept until the far turn, where Claude, which had been striding along easily, set safl for the $3000 purse. Reservation awakened, too, and when the fleld turned into the stretch it was a duel between Claude and Reservation. Munro gave the Hendrie horse a nice ride and brought him up to Claude’'s withers, but Johnny Daly brought the whip down on his father's candidate just twice and Claude went under the wire a handy winner by a length. Claude got a great reception when he came back to the stand and Jockey Daly was yoked with a floral horseshoe. The elder Daly carrled the flowers up to the grand stand, where women tore the em- blem to pleces for bouquets.

SACRAMENTO, July 14.—At the meet- ing of the State Board of Equalization to-day the question of the merger of the San Mateo Electric Rallroad with the United Rallroads of San Francisco was discussed, the board holding that the merger gave them jurisdiction to assess the whole system, as running into two counties. They requested an opinion from the Attorney General, but he declined to give a decided opinion, as the matter was before the Supreme Court in the case of the San Francisco and S8an Mateo Rail- advice, if contrary to the decision of the court when announced, would be disas- trous. - The opinion, it, is stated, was written a month ago and gince that time the Su- preme Court has decided the Scott case. The board has therefore decided to re- quest the Attorney General to furnish an- other opinion in line with the decision of the court.

The Senators got busy enough to make four, but had they been a little more fleet of foot they could have accumulated several more. The game was one of those matter-of- fact, stereotyped sort of exhibitions which are never known to arouse the en- thusiasm of the fan. From the first in- ning on it happened in the same old way, and not a single exciting or Interesting play occurred to arouse the bleacherites during the progress of the game. The first Senatorial tally came in the seventh, when a couple of hits by Shee- han and Graham brought in a run. Then there was a lapse of activity till the eighta when the Senators began to touch up Hollson rather lively. Three consecutive hits, a fly to right fleld by McLaughlin, a steal by “Truck” Egan and a bad throw to second by Tommy Leahy had their ef- fects and three Senators came sprinting over the rubber. In nearly every inning of the game San Francisco had chances to get runs, but the baserunners were dopey and the bat- ters could not hit, so there was little do- ing. The only bright feature of the exhi- bitlon was the hitting of Charley Gra- ham. Out our times up he slammed out as man The score: San Francisco— AB. R. H. P. R. H. P.A.

Indications are favorable for a breeze to-moOrrow, however, and the first try for the citi- zens’ tophy and several other cupe put up by clubs and individuals will be made. Races are scheduled for every day of the two weeks' tournament. While the yachts were unable to cover the course to-day several races between smalier craft were pulled off successfully.
