See us before WHITE SEWING MACHINE CO., San Francisco Salesrooms: 300 Post Street It was freely predicted that the ambu lance corps from the Park Emergency Hospital would be rung up before two eve: were over, but the sport itself was not marred by hitch nor accident. Needless to remark, Barney Oldfleld, the champion motorist, was the cynosure of all eyes and the bright twingling star of the occasion. Barney has broken many records during his speedy career as a motor driver and a rib or two as well in accomplishing the sameé All noted men have their peculiarities and Oldfield has his. Before every ap- pearance on the track he must needs light up a fresh cigar, which is so tightly clinched between his teeth that a Kan- sas cyclone would not disturb the ashes. As Barney whizzes by the stand, seated low in his red Bullet 2 120 horsepower and weighing 2040 pounds, coatless and hatless, his long brown locks flowing in the wind, he looks every inch like a young man started on a trip to Mars astride a skyrocket. OLDFIELD LAPS OPPONENTS. Oldfield lapped all of his competitors in the ten-miie race, the first prize for which was $400, but In the five-mile open event he met defeat with his “Baby Bullet”car, when the smooth running White racer, driven by Walter Grothe, glided away from the others after the second mile, winning in 6:04 2-5, the fastest time made during the afternoon. Next in point of attraction was un- doubtedly the big $12,000 Mors racer, own- ed by rge P. Whittell, and driven by Pierre Désmet. This car figured in the great Paris-Berlin race, and with its sputter and tireless chug, chug, chug, sounding llke the explosion of a million Chinese firecrackers, could be heard com- ing a block away. Barring one or two unavoidable waits due to broken chains or valves, the ar- rangements were perfect. The judges were J. D. Spreckels, R. P. Schwerin and 8. G. Buckbee. Referee, L. P. Lowe, W. W. Everett acted as chief “c! aid- ed by Captain L. R. Burgess, John Ham- mersmith, Edwin Mohrig, C. E. Matthew- son and others. R. C. Lennie acted as clerk of the course and H. C. Brown and L. C. Lowe were the umpires. Jack Gleason set a new fashion for starters to follow by appearing in a Prince Albert coat and gray trousering and wearing a tall hat. His excellent work with the red flag would indicate him to be a veteran at the game. Frank Thompson with his musical basso, made a splendid annoéuncer, con- tributing much to the pleasure of the day’s sport. s Previous to the calling of“the first race Barney Oldfield startéd off on gy record breaking stunt, but after covering a mile in 1:04 2-5 he concluded the track was a trifle too cuppy and slowed down. The record for & milé over a circular course is 55 4-5 seconds, made by Oldfield at the Empire City track. EASY VIOTORY FOR HUNT. With one withdrawal, there were three starters in (he first race, for gasoline cars only, 6% horsepower and under, at two miles. It proved an easy victory for W. §. Hunt, who drove his Oldsmobile home first in 3:27 1-5. C. S. Luckhardt finished second with his Rambler in 3:31 1-5, and W. H. Kellogg third with a buckboard in 3:40 3-5. The first prize was $50, the second a silver cup. Next came a five-mile open event for cars welighing 1200 pounds and over, the first prize being $100, the second $25. W. F. Winchester went away in the lead with his Franklin car and stayed there, com- pleting the distance in 8:501-5. F. R. Luc! t, with a St. Louis, was second; no ohdx:m W. H. Kellogg fin- ished third again with his buckboard in racing car of | pulled up at the start and was left. Eight started in the five-mile handlcap for motor cycles, the prizes being hand- some ellver cups. Although E. M. Coffin with his Duck cycle made the best time, 7:26, starting from scratch, first prize | went to Thomas A. White, with a 30-sec- ond handicap and whose official time was 19:18 3-5. Then came H. Swanton in his Irdian in 10:51, and E. M. Coffin, 10:56 4-5. A. H. Thompson, George Dunn, W. A. gwan and Montie Fink were also con- testants. In gthe five-mile number for gasoline cars only, twenty-four horsepower and | under, there were only two starters. The | big Toledo car resembling the prescription | counter in a drug store and driven by W. | E. Saunders, with a chauffeur for ballast, who threw himself out on the inside step | at the turns, looking like the spinnaker | of the Rellance, made quick work of the | Franklin, with W. F. Winchester at the | wheel. The latter was indulged with the lead in the second mile, but only for a one-night_stand. The winner's time was 6.46 4-5. Time of the Franklin, 6:52. The fifth race, an open event at five miles, for cars 1800 pounds and under, with the first prize $200 and the second | $50, marked the first appearance of Cham- pion Oldfield in competition. He drove his baby Bullet car, which proved no match at all for the steam White car, the latter leading the last thrée miles and winning oft in 6:04 Oldfield was second in 6:17 45. Then followed H. D. Ryus with another White in 6:28, and the Mors in 7:22 2-5. FAST FIVE MILES. Then followed another five-mile race for cars irrespective of power or weight, the two prizes being siiver cups. The Toledo ear, driven by W. E. Saunders, with its outrigger chauffeur, again turned up a winner, leading after the first mile and finishing the route in 6:2%5. F. A. Garbutt was second with his White steam ear in T7:13, and the giant Mors third a fifth of a second slower. W. F. Winches- ter, driving a Franklin, drew out on the first mile and H. D. Ryu's White blew out a cylinder on the last lap. It was awful what Barney Oldfleld did to the other four starters in the ten-mile race. Oldfield contented himself with per- mitting Willlam Graham in “baby Bul- let” to set the pace for nearly five miles, then he cut loose with Bullet No. 2. One mile was covered in 1:00 1-5, the ten miles in 11:151-5. Graham finished second in 11:513-5; W. Grothe, with a White, third in 13:44, and Desmet, with the Mors car, fourth in 14:24 3-5. No time was taken of the Toledo, and as W. E. Sanders, who drove the car, claimed to be entitled to third prize the matter was left to the referee. A five-mile handicap open to all cars legitimately owned on the Pacific Coast concluded the day's sport, making in all eight races. C. C. BEib, with an Oldsmo- bile, finished first from a two minute and thirty seconds handicap in 8:462-5. The Mors car, with a forty seconds allowance, was second. W. H. Kellogg, F. R. Luck- hardt, C. 8. Luckhardt and W. F. Win- chester also operated cars in the race. The first prize was $100, the second $0 and the third a silver cup. —— Alameda Eleven to Play.

W Wi HARRY TENNY OUTPOINTS OLEVER BARNEY DRISCOLL Little Men Furnish a Four Round Boxing Bout Full of Exciting Incidents. Harry Tenny upheld his reputation as & great little fighter last night when he oute pointed Barney Driscoll in a flerce four- round bout, lterally cutting the latter's face to ribbons. The little men furni the main event of the Lincoln monthly exhibition, and it brought out & packed house. The remainder of the p@t gramme was fairly good, but the star at= traction classed away above any amateur bout that has been witnessed for a long time. In every round Tenny had the better of his man and was the aggressor from the outset. He nearly severed Driscoll’s right ear, and the rest of the latter's face alsa bore marks of terrific punishment. Thred times during the bout Driscoll went down, but he showed his true gameness to the last and would never give in. Tenny was not punished In the slightest and appear- ed as fresh at the end of the bout as he did when the gong sounded for the battle, Frank Mannasso, who would be mis- taken for Jeffries by many tenderfeet, was pitted against Ike McLaughlin, the big man from Butchertown, and lost the decision. Mannasso knew nothing about the game, and did not seem to be pos~ sessed of great strength for such a glant. In fact, neither man did any fighting, but the decision was given to McLaughlin om general principles seemingly. Jim Linegar put up a game battle against Bob Lundie, but finally succumb« ed to a few strong body punches in the fourth. Harry King, a lad who looked fat enough to be a pork butcher, had ta stop in the second round of his bout with Charles Augustus. Jack Doyle outpointed William Desmond and Joe Kelly was awarded the decision over Willlam Friel Bicycle Thief Sentenced. Ole Ellingson, a confirmed bicycle thief, was convicted by Police Judge Conlan yesterday on two charges of petty lar- ceny and was sentenced to serve six months in the County Jall on each charge. He is also wanted in Stockton and other places. @ it O Mr.and Mrs. H. O. Heine and C. E. Linaker. 3. 7. MeMahon, D. MeMahon, M. F. Connor and the Misses O Dea, Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

Hawkins, manager of the Whits Auto- moblie Company, is highly elated at the victory of the steam '‘Red-White” over Harney Old- fleid’s “Baby Bullet'” in the fifth race. as Hendry. a young man residing at 160 Golden Gate avenue, met with a severs accident before the racing began. Hendry was standing on the main track oppesite the paddock. when an automobile driven by Dr. F. C. Keek struk him and he sustained a broken leg.
