day. He visited the prison, and went
through the various parts thereof. He ex-
pressed surprise at the perfect system of

at the immensity of it.
During the norther of Monday last the

GAMBLERS VICTORIOUS.
" Everything Goes''' Now In the SAN
Erancisco Chinese Ouarters


Francisco Chinese Quarters.
SAN Francisco, September 2Sth.-The
Chinese gamblers gained victory this
morning, and 1t is now likely that all the
dens will be running in full blast before
long.
Judge Lawler rendered his decison in the
cases before him, and discharged the de-
PENDANTS from custody. Notice of appeal
was at once given by the Prosecuting Attor-
ney, and the cases will be carried to the
Superior Court, although that tribunal has
ruled already that Chinese gamblers can
not be convicted unless detected in the act
| of playing,
In the course of his remarks judge Law.
| Ter stated that while he had fixed opinion
| that the CulpriIs were legally guilty, he
could not hold them, as there was q power
higher than his that had reversed him al
| ready in similar case. He said it was
almost impossible for the police to catch
, the defendants in the act, for they were
well protected behind barricaded doors,
and when an attempt was made by the DO
lice 10 gam an entrance ample time was
| afforded the Chinese 10 destroy all evi-
dences of their guilt. He considered the
csses he was now deciding weaker than
the ones that the Superior Court reversed
Not only do the Cinnamon rely upon forti
flying themselves behind heavy doors,
but lookouts are established, SO that if
a sudden raid is attempted the parties
engaged in gambling are warned in time.
Enough scope is not sgranted to the
officers TO perform their duties. and al-
though it is done to the best of their
| ability and the offenders arrested, the
police are not upheld in their work by the
| Supreme Court, and it was almost useless
| to convict them. The Chinese are cunning
and defy the law. The Court hoped that
an appeal would be taken from his decis-
| ion. Although evidence was secured that
| the Cinnamon, were, beyond doubt, yio-
| lating the law, the officers could not swear
| positively that they witnessed the culprits
| playing. son account of the reversal O I
similar cases taken from this Court to the
higher tribunal, l cannot" said Judge
| Lawler, render q decision against them.
| Ny opinion in this matter does not agree
with the view taken by the Supreme Court.
and, although it is with reluctance that /
discharge the prisoners from custody, am
forced to do it, and must render the decis-
ion in their favor"
There were many Cinnamon present to
| await the outcome of the decision, and
twhen they were informed by their attor-
| neys as to what the result was, the old
City Hall was cleared as if by magic, and
| the heathens departed for their favorite
| haunts to enjoy the pleasures of the game
| of tan and such other modes of gambling
as strike their fancy.
The residents of Chinatown can iefy the
| police now, and remain entirely secure in
| their barricaded apartments, as it is use
| less to arrest them, as a conviction cannot
| follow.

Against Each Other.

Captain Dave and His Son Swearing
Against Each Other.
Patsy Connors and Pete McGann were
the names of two rough-looking individuals
who graced the prisoners dock in the
Police Court yesterday. They were there
by virtue of warrants sworn out by Cap
tain Dave" of the Piute contingent which
is at present honoring Sacramento with a
visit. The Captain complained that the
two prisoners had sold whisky to his son
and some of his braves, and was conse-
quently amenable to the law.
With great pomp and importance the
Piute chief took the witness stand and suf-
fered himself to be sworn by Judge Buck
ley.
"Do you know these two men ?" asked
City Attorney Church, pointing to the pris-
oners.
UNI said the chief, as he gazed loftily
toward the dock.
"Seen them before, hey ?"
"Um! Know both. They got whisky
all time. Flat bottles. This feller sellum
my boy some. He drink first, then give 'um
Piute. He sellum 'nuther time, but l no
see. l see empty flat bottle. Piute gettum
drunk. My boy gettum drunk, too."
one OF the GefendantS Jumped up and
did sort of breakdown in the dock, at
the same time declaring that he was not
the person who sold the whisky to Captain
Dawes warrio.s.
you are sure he is one of the men, are
you?' asked Mr.. Church, more to quiet
Connors than anything else.
The big Chief shaded his eyes and took
another look. NO" said he, finally, ''him
not the man. 'Nuther man selIum whisky
have on overalls."
With the assistance of Bailiff Rowland
Connors was Ia anced up on the railing
which surrounds the dock and Captain
Dave took another squint. Observing that
Connors had on pair of overalls he again
became positive that Connors was the right
man.
Judge Buckley looked weary and Mr..
Church heaved deep sigh.
Call Bob" said Mr. Church, and the
Chiefs son scrambled to his feet. Heshuf-
fled up to the witness stand, and denied
that he ever saw Connors or McGann be-
fore, or that they had sold him any whisky.
This, instead of riling the the Piute
Chief, seemed rather to please him, and he
gazed and smiled admiringly upon his
promising offspring.
Judge Buckley dismissed the case with
look at the Piutes that meant volumes

Hares Were Scarce, So it Was Postponed

The coursing match, which was an
nounced to take place at Agricultural Park
to-day, has been declared off.
The meeting OF the gentlemen in charge
of the affair last evening was brought to
sudden close by the announcement that an
insufficient number of hares had been fur
nished for the occasion. The managers
had written to q man who resides quite a
distance out of town to supply the re-
CURED number, but through some mishap
he did not receive the letter until Yesterday
morning. The result was that instead of
bringing in two or three dozen of the
heet-footed, long-eared animals, he only
brought four
1t was decided to postpone the matches
until next Sunday, and four Young men
were appointed as committee to go out
into the country and spend week in hare
catching.
The four hares which were brought in,
however, were used to advantage yesterday.
They were taken ont to the Park, as were
also several hounds, and practice "spin"
was had. There was good crowd at the
Park, by virtue of the fact that there was
private roadster match on hand, and the
extra treat was appreciated. The result of
the practice was as follows:
l.. j. Harrigan's Queen beat Major Fred
Nesry's Gimlet No. 3 Queen beat Dyna-
mite, and also beat Gimlet again, thus car
rylng of the honors of the day.

Gagus and Newbert were both applauded
at their first time to bat, and both played
very good games. Gagus accepted three
out of four chances in the out field, and
Newbert, besides playing his position well,
made phenomenal catch, which was the
feature of the game. A slow fy-ball was
knocked out by Smalley far back of second
base. Newbert made run for it. and
while running with his back to the ball, he
made a jump for it and succeeded in catch
ing it. 1t was wonderful catch, and the
audience went wild over it.
A rare peculiar incident happened. 1t
was the fact of two home-runs being
knocked out in succession. Roberts and
Roxburg each achieved the honor of max
ing the circuit. Roberts made the first
four bagger, and Immediately afterwards
Roxburg stepped into the batter's box and
mot to be outdone) smashed out another
home-run.
Notices were posted on the grounds, no.
tifying people that no open betting would
be allowed. This was an order of President
None of the California League.
The score will bear close scrutiny. A
glance at it will show who did the heavy
batting and good playing, as well as the
players who, instead of distinguishing, ex-
tinguished themselves:
