Lundy & Co., produce*dealers, against the managers of the Napa State Hos- pital to prevent the awarding of a contract to Wheaton, Harrold & Pond for supplying butter and eggs to the insane asylum for the ensuing year was commenced yesterday in Judge Seawell's court. It was charged that Lundy & Co. were the lowest bidders for the.supplies, but that the contract had been arbitrarily awarded to the other firm. The evidence as far as taken yesterday did not prove the in- ablility of the Lundy company to ful- fill the contract in accordance with the bid. but on the cross-examination the prosecution brought out the fact that the Lundy concern had received several letters of protest regarding the quality of its supplies.

CLOSE FINISHES ADD EXCITEMENT TO EQUINE CONTESTS AT THE SPA| T0 Rose of Dawn Proves Anénias Wins the Riv-|Commodore First in to Be a Filly of Some Class. Special Dispatch to The Cail. SARATOGA, Aug. 8.—Racegoers had plenty of excitement in the matter of close finishes to-day, no less than five of the six events being won by no more than a head. In the steeplechase, which also supplied a head finish, there was not a single fall, although Daylesford ran out on the far turn. The only stake of the day was the Catsklll, a selllng affair with a good fleld, of which Gay Boy was the favor- ite, but the winner proved to be Ascen- sion, which Hildebrand had as his sec- ond winning mount of the meeting, his first being Rose of Dawn in the third race. To the surprise of all who have seen Ascension run before, that mare ‘was so full of speed that all around the far turn she was under a pull, Hilde- brand not being able or desir- ous of going to the front till the stretch was reached. Once in the stralght Ascension drew away, but nearing the finish Hiidebrand allowed her to run wighout urging, and she eas- ily won fronf Old England, which had made all the running after galloping nearly a furlong in one break. The third horse was De Reszke, whose per- formance indicated that he will be hard to beat In a mile race. forced to run wide and was somewhat hampered by De Reszke. In the third race Rose of Dawn, one of the most truly proportioned fillies in this country, outlooked her competitors, but was said to be a trifle short of work and was not as freely supported as her looks warranted. She won clev- erly, with the poorly handled Teacress second, Lyne's riding of this filly being much criticized. Summary: FIRST RACE—Six furlongs: handicap; three- year-olds Horse, Weight, Jockey.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—John ¥ | Schorr's Anantas, after being nearly backed off the boards, won the River- ‘side selling stakes, the third and fea- { ture event of the Harlem card to-day, which was worth $2260 to the win- | ner. Sweetie was second, after mak- :ing a sensational stretch run, while lGolden Mineral was third, a head in | front of Dell Leath. Spencerian was the only other starter. Ananias was easily the best. The fleld of five ran Cclosely bunched for six furlongs, with Dell Leath and Ananias heads apart. At the far turn the favorite went to the front with a lead of a length and a half, He skinned the rail turning for home, while the others swung wide. Nothing ever got near Ananias thereafter. 4 Ananias opened at 6 to 6 and was pounded down to 7 to 10 at bugle call. The stewards of the Harlem Jockey Club have concluded that Jockey C. Bell was probably responsible for the defeat of “Lucky’ Baldwin's Capitan- azo when at a short price last week and on account of the sudden im- provement of the colt in the first race to-day they suspended the jockey In- definitely, pending further investiga- tion. The track was fast, the weather ideal and the crowd larger thart usual on a Monday. A good card of seven races was the magnet which drew the crowd.

MAT TERMINATE IN SIT MONTHS Panama Railway’s Contract to Pacific Mail Provides for Government Control PRIVILEGE CONDITIONAL At Latest Isthmian Road Will Be Opened to All in About a Year From Date el Qseripes A special dispach from the spondent of The Call at Wash D. C., brings information on au that the contract between the P. Rallway Company and the Pacifi Steamship Company continues In ¢ until June 11, 1907% There is, howe a supplemental agreement that provides that the contract may terminate upon six months' notice by either party in the event that the United States be- comes the owner of a majority of the shares of the railway company. The United States now owns sixty-nine- | seventieths of the shares of the Pan- ama Railway Company. Taking these statements together, it appears that the United States can terminate In six months from date the contract that ties the Panama Railway up with the in- terests of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which is another way of de- seribing the arrangement made by the transcontinental roads for their ewn purposes and in restraint of trade. ORIGINAL CONTRACT. In a previous dispatch from Wash- ington the fact was mentioned that the | original contract between the Panama Railway Company and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was dated June 11, 1902, and that it was to continue in force three years, but that it might continue for two years more if either party should so elect. This would make the possible Qate of expiration June 11, 1907. In any ordinary corporation when a new interest secures control or owner- ship of a majority of the stock one of the first steps after such chamge of control or ownership Is to call a meet- ing of the stockholders and elect a set of directors to administer the property in accordance with the wishes of the | stock majority. The singularity of the | present situation in regard to the Pan- | ama Railway is that one-seventieth of the stock of the company is represented by ten directors and sixty-nine-seven- tieths are represented by only three di- rectors. DANGER IN SIGHT. In a vote taken in the board of ai- rectors at this time, or until the United | States has the majority of directors, that it is entitled to by reason of its stock ownership, there is a chance that the transcontinental ra ceed in tying up the Panama with another contract This danger has been pointed out previously in The | Call. Already there is a claim in the East, as in ated by special £ from the correspondent of The Cs ‘Washington, that the Government | not be in any position to t | relating to the Panama Ri | its contracts untli April 1, 1905. Tk | 1s no explanation concerning this state | ment. If the Government’s directors of the | Panama Railway see no way to ta action now, it is difficult to see how | the Government can fail to have a ma- jority of the board of directors of the | Panama Railway in April. If notice of | a termination of the contract between | the Panama Railway Company and the | Pacific Mail Steamship Company 1s then | given, six months would bring about | the expiration of the trade-restraining agreement on October 1, 1905, or & little | more than a year from to-day. e Beaten for Refusing Drinks. A. Y. Petersen, who conducts a sa~ |loon at 265 Ninth street, was badly | beaten by three men last night. They asked to be trusted for drinks, and when the bartender refused one of the men struck Petersen with a block of wood and the rest of them joimed in the assault. Petersen was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital, where it was found that two bones in his right |leg were broken and that he was | bruised severely about the face and | bedy. Later in the evening Peter Buck- ley was arrested for the offense an placed on the small book at the City [ Hall station. Detectives are working on the case. ——— Old Man Fulls Downstairs. Edward Kleinbach, an aged man, of 731 Minna street, while returning from a visit early Sunday morning and climbing the stairs at the rear of his house, dizzy and fell to the bottom. He was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital, where his wounds were dressed. Later he re- covered consciousness and walked home. At 4 o'clock In the afternoon he fell out of bed in convulsions. He was again taken to the hospital. There it was found he had fractured his skull. He was operated on Dby Dr. Stevens and has a fair chance for re- covery. ————————— ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZ T. — Bspinosa was arrested last night by Policem: Al Holmes on a warrant for misdemeanor em- tezzlement.
