Bonner is about due to strike his gait, for a few more rides like that on Reeves might get him talked about. If Mike Daly wanted the opportunity to time Elliott separately in the handi- cap, Willie Daly made no mistake. The Jennings castoff ran a fine race under the worst possible handling. Captain Forsee was struck and knocked down by H. M. Donaldson while ordering Jockey Frank Reed from the betting ring yesterday. Reed, while being shoved along to stimulate his speed. slipped and fell and began crying. Donaldson may have thought the Pinkerton official threw the boy down. For his foolish act he was ruled off the turf. The Bell stakes for two-year olds at five furlongs with $2000 added, will be the stellar attraction at Oakland - this afternoon. Among the starters are Barney Schreiber's crack colt, Pinker- ton, which arrived from Los Angeles Thursday night, and will be ridden by Jimmy Boland. Pinkerton cleaned up everything at the southern meeting with the exception of Belle Kinney and when beaten by that filly was conced- ing a lump of weight.

At Opera-house 'Hall, South San Franeisco, the boys of the Columbia Park Boys' Club gave an entertain- ment last evening for the benefit of Memorigl Presbyterian Church. Under the direction of Sidney Peix- otto the large chorus of boys sang sev- eral songs, after which the club’s band rendered selections. Herman Stein, Louis Stein, Louis ‘Weinberg, Sam Shalif, Hyman Rosen- thal and Hyman Raphael gave a very clever exhibition of torch and Indian club swinging, going through the most difficult figures with professional unison. Walter Roesner received great ;p- plause after rendering several difficult | solos on the cornet. A comical act, originated by the members of the club, entitled “Si Per- kins Gets a Boy for His Farm,” crea- ated rounds of laughter from the large audience, as it was very cleverly writ- ten and well produced. The cast of characters was as fol- lows: Following the troublefl of “Si” and his “new boy” was another skit enti- 0¢ | tled “Rosie, the Girl From Paris.” The farce was given as a finale to the en- | tertainment, and it was a laughing crowd that filed out amid the strains 12| of “Home, Sweet Home.” ————— ‘Will Present Old Opera.

The arrival of the Philippine scouts is awaited with much interest at the post. There are 413 of them, exclusive of officers. They are all natives of the islands. Their sojourn here will be lim- ited to about two weeks, and then they will proceed to the St. Louis Exposi- tion. In all probability Captain Car- rington will give an exhibition arill of | some sort to show in a measure what the new acquisitions to Uncle Sam's army are capable of doing. The model camp, which was wreck- ed by the gale on Thursday, has now been put back into condition to re- ceive tfe troops from the Philippines which are due on Monday. New tents and new stoves were supplied, and the services of about 100 men were re- quired to get the camp back into its original shape. Drilling of the different troops at the Presidio went on with renewed vigor yesterday. While the parade grounds were too sloppy to admit of regimental drills, the different com- panies were put through exercises at their quarters. The Presidio baseball team will cross bats with the Berkeley-Stanford alumni team to-day at 2:30 o'clock at the Presidio Athletic Grounds. To- morrow the Presidio team will play |a the Jesse Moore team on the same grounds at the same time. The transport Buford, with marines for the Phillppines, sailed at 9:30 o’clock vesterday morning.
