l :O8, with Doble trailing length or two
behind. But this time Rosaline was in
the van shadowing McDoel, in readiness
for the finish down the stretch. Budd
did not appear to drive with his accus-
toned vigor, and when the Wilkes mare
landed the heat in 2:l51s without any
considerable difficulty, a good many
observers did Doble the injustice OF be-
lieving he had not tried to win.
McDoel still remained favorite at
$50 to $40, the outside public refus-
ing to believe that ultimate defeat could
possibly come to him, but the sequel
clearly brought out the fact that MeDoel
had com pletely collapsed. After going
to the three-quarters in company with
Turner's great mare, Doble set to work
for one last supreme effort to save the
day. McDoel responded as best he
could, but out beyond the distance fall
tered and swerved-almost staggered
across the track in heart-broken tum-
BILE that told OF unconditional surrender.
There is something almost pathetic in
the story of the final rout.
1t was nightfall when the bell rang for
the finish. Doble pleaded hard for over
night postponement, and maneuvered in
every possible way to carry his point, as
did also Robens with Alcryon. But
President Campau stood firm, realizing
that to call truce at this time would be
to rob the grand contest of half its in
terest. Turner went to the front with
Rosaline in the twilight before the
lower turn was rounded, and from
that time on the race was a procession.
All eyes left the leader as she trotted
away from the party and turned towards
Doble with McDoel, falling farther and
still farther to the rear until it was seen
that the master reinsman and the
champion trotter were doomed to the
ignominy of being distanced naddition
to that of defeat. Budd appeared to
start for the barn without coming in to
weigh after the flag had fallen in front
of McDoel, 80 keen was his humiliation :
then suddenly turning about he drove
quickly back to the stand, and, rus hing
up to the judges, tried vainly to protest
against being declared distanced. The
great man was demoralized for the mo-
ment. He could not bring himself to
accept the inevitable. A barrel of
money was lost and won on the grand
catastrophe. Individual losses running
as high as $1,000 are reported from the
direction of Kansas City, where McDoel
is owned.

THE REDONDO CONTEST.
TENNIS PLAYERS WHO WILL BE IN
THE TOURNAMENT.
nia--Features of the Tournament at
Redondo-The Probable Contestants.

Tennis is booming in Southern Cali
fornia as it never doomed before. There
are twice as many players this year as
there ever were before. The interest
taken in the coming Redondo and Santa
Monica tournaments is very marked in
tennis circles, and the prospects are
very encouraging for the most success
full meeting ever held in Southern Cali
fornia, if not in the state.
The committee in charge Of the Re-
dondo tournament consists of Messrs.
Cawston, Tufts and Gilmore. This
tournament is to begin at Re-
dondo next Wednesday. The events
are open to all comers. The open singles
will bring together the best players in
Southern California, with the possible
exception of Mr.. Arnold. The fact that
Mr.. Arnold will not be competitor
adds interest to the contest, and it will
be battle royal from start to finish,
and it would take good judge to pick
winner at this stage.
!. The Los Angeles club will send Art
Bumiller, Walter Cosby, Harry German,
Guy Cochran, Art Guthrie, Charles
Chase and Ed Tufts to uphold the pres
tige of the club. Riverside will be rep
resented by Robert Bittner, R. Hart, H.
Langley, w. S. Singleton and A. H.
Halstead. The racket wielders from
Pasadena will be w. s. Gilmore, R. H.
Barry and w. Rodgers. The Alhambra
club will have George Rice, A. S. Hal
stead, &. w. Wallace and DIR. Lane to do
battle for them. No entries have been
received from Santa Monica clubs,
but these clubs will undoubtedly send
re representatives.. Among others Messrs.
Waring, Cawston, Young, Lester and
Woodhouse will probably contest for
Santa Monica.
The ladies' singles promise to be hotly
contested, and some good tennis is an
ticipated.
Miss Halsted will wear the red and
black of Alhambra. Miss Tufts will
represent the Los Angeles Tennis club.
Miss Shoemaker will contest for the
Pasadena club. 1t is expected that
Miss Gilliland of Riverside and Mrs.
Waring of Santa Monica will be among
the contestants. The ladies are well
matched, and it is no easy task to pick
winner, even for tennis expert.
The mixed doubles will also prove ex-
ceptionally interesting. Guy Cochran
and Miss Tufts will wear the blue and
white of the Los Angeles club; Mr.. and
Miss Halsted the red and black of the
Alhambra, and Mr.. Gilmore and Miss
Shoemaker will be the Pasadena repre-
sentatives, while Santa Monica and
Riverside will in all probability send up
candidates.
1t will therefore be seen that Redondo
will be the scene of brilliant tourna-
ment next week. The arrangements
there for spectators are the best in this
part of the state, while the conveniences
are second to none. Entries close next
Tuesday night.

The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-04-22
ENGLISH OPINION.

The London Standard apparently takes
its cue in respect 10 American politics from
the Atd California. Our LEGAL free-trade
organ has criticized the Blaine Harrison
reciprocity on the ground that opening for
eign markets to American goods was not in
exact harmony with the Importance attached
to the home market. The Standard, in
humble imitation Of the AHG California.
says that President Harrisons utteranceS
during his tour are confessions Of failure,
nasmuch as the Republicans at one time
claimed that the home market was all-suf-
ficient, while now the President thinks for
eign markets desirable. Neither the Alta
California nor its London echo considers
the difference between keeping our own
market for our own producers and seeking a
foreign market for any surplus we may have
to sell. II happens that there are certain
agricultural products which we do not pro-
duce. We buy these products of nations
which produce surplus. 1t has happened
in the rast that nations from which we
bought coffee, sugar and hides bought little
or nothing of Us. The reciprocity policy re-
quires these nations to give certain of our
products admission free into their markets
as a kind of compensation for the market
we give TO certain of their products. Only
this and nothing more.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-04-22
SOMETHING TO GAIN.

Our neighbors of the AHd California
say the inhabitants of the South have
nothing in common with the Presidents
policies or party" THE CALL differs en-
tirely from the opinions expressed as above.
The South has a great deal to gain from
the Republican party, more, in our opinion,
than it has from the Democratic party.
The South will flourish in exact proportion
with the North. Capital will go South and
manufactures will be built up in that sec
ton. Lands will increase in value; indeed
they have already advanced. Markets will
be established in every manufacturing CEN
ter, and the prosperity of the South VIII
correspond with that of the North. 1t is a
mistake to fancy that the Southern States
cannot produce anything except cotton and
tobacco. The Southern States. take them
as a whole, are capable of supporting a
dense population, and the climate generally
is preferable to that of the more Northern
States. If day the South were to be rep
resented in Congress through both political
parties it would be better for the country.
AS it is, the South is but an appendage, to
be traded upon by New York politicians,
who are nearly as corrupt as are the poll
ticians who class themselves as Democrats
in this State. Does any sensible person be-
lieve il some of the Southern States were to
send Republican members to Congress that
those members would waste their strength
or have less influence in that body than they
do as Democrats? We surely do not.
Upon the contrary. the Southern people
would be greatly benefited If their States
were to be divided between the two great
political parties. And we believe, further,
that the Southern people will soon realize
the importance of change in policy.

THE WHEAT MARKET.

People are wrong in calling the present
movement in wheat bull speculation. 1t
! is simply natural reaction from long and
unnatural depression in the staple. 1t has
| so little to do with the dealings of specula-
| tors that the great bulk of them are resisting
the rise 1t would have come long ago but
| for the attempts of spectators to control
! the market under circumstances and at
! times which we're unfaVOrable to their pro-
| jects
Nine years have elapsed since wheat fell
| below its normal parity with other articles
of merchandise. A variety of clrcum-
stances contributed to cause the decline.
| A delusion was set on foot to the effect that
British India was going to supply Europe
with wheat. An enormous increase in the
Russian crop was predicted. New sources
! of supply were said to have been found in
| Argentine and in Australia. Simultaneously
| the crop of the United States rose above
| 400, 000 900 bushels, one-fifth the consnmD-
ton of the world. Under these hear points
| wheat fell to so and IS cents in the primary
market of Chicago. 1t has never mad an
abiding rally since. Four or five times
since 1882 far-seeing men, percelvlng that
cent a pound on the farm was, as general
rule, less than the cost of production, and
! that consumption was increasing iHoIe ldp-
idly than crops, purchased wheat for the
rise. But they were all lured into schemes
for cornerng the whole wheat market OF
the world, and one and all broke down IN
| der the magnitude OF the undertaking.
The present movement, in which Liver
! pool follows Paris. New York Liverpool,
| Chicago New York, and San Francisco all
| four, is a natural movement based on the
simple fact that from present appearances
! there will not be surplus of wheat next
| spring and communities which have been
consumers of wheaton bread will in some
instances have to fau back on cheaper
grains. 1t has not as yet reached the ex-
| trayagant and convulsive figures of the cor
ners of the past If it does we may again
witness the anomaly of a scarcity of wheat
| accompanied by panic prices. But if it does
not the ruling VI even higher prices may be
established and maintained perhaps for
series of years. Two cents pound is not
| by any means fancy price for sound white
wheat at the distributing markets in this
