RUNNING RACES.
The Norfolk Stakes Draw

A VICTORY FOR WILDWOOD
Return Fatally Injured in the
SteepleChase.
THE TALENT IN GOOD LUCK.

HE TALENT IN GOOD LUCK.

Glorious weather and the prospects of
good racing drew a large and enthusiastic
crowd TO the Bay District track yesterday
afternoon, and by the time the horses
went TO the post in the first event there
were fully 5000 people on the ground.
The Norfolk stakes following in the
footsteps of the previous stake events for
three-year-olds and upward. had only six
acceptances out of an original en- try list of
thirty-two. and of these SIX. Racine and
Flambeau withdrew yesterday, leaving
only a field of four to compete for what
the Association guaranteed to be
of the value of $780, The appear
ance of Evanstus, brother to the
great Rudolph, was expected to lend in
terest to the event. but for some good rea-
son the talent fought shy Of him, and he
was played very little. The race was
merely an exercise gallop for Wildwood,
who, leading from start to finish, ran the
first quarter in :27%, the half IN :54. the
thIee-quarteis in 1:20% and the mile In
:4S. The Australian mare Marcelle
showed a remarkable change of form as
compared with her last race, and is i'm
proving very fast. Yesterday she drove
out Charmion for the place, hich Danny
Miller's mare won by not much more than
a neck.
bad accident, which termin ated fatally
for the horse, occurred in the steep'echase,
for which there were only four starters.
This took place at the very first Jump,
Ballarat led over 1t by a clear four lengths.

steeple-chase. which the board of stewards,
although they declared all bets off, allowed
to take the stakes. which were valued at
$1,000.
The track still continues slow. and from
all appearances is not likely to be any,
thing like as fast as it was at the COM
mencement of the meeting.

water front and in the foundry district as
was seldom heard before. Every tug and
steamer in the bay footed and screeched.
while sailing vessels saluted with flags.
Many an English flag ran up and dipped
again in honor of the new warship. Ex-
element reigned along The bay shore
while the Olympia sailed toward her
birthplace. All this did not take twenty
minutes, for it must be remembered the
Olympia loses no time when in harness.
An inspiring scene was witnessed by
those aboard, as the shin approached a
mooring buoy and dropped anchor. Fully
800 men from the Union shipyards and
shops were crowded upon the wharf, and
when the Olympia's whistles gave a triple
salute every man there waved his hands
gave three cheers that Tesounded over the
waters. and yelled again. This was enthu-
siasm indeed. 1t was then that the inyen-
tive genius of the Union Iron Works me-
chanics displayed itself through noise
making cuntrivances. Such din with
calliOpe whistles and siren monstrosjties
The air vibrated until 1t became pain.u
to the ears. In addition to ordinary foo
sirens and steam whistles on ships and
houses there were half dozen monster
horns blown by steam. each having a diff
ferent tone and some half dozen discords
all at once. The entrance 10 the works
was surmounted on one side by a cluster
OF fish horns. These were supplied viii

hour yesterday she steamed into port from
Santa Barbara. proud as peacock and
gay with colors of victory.
In the OffiDg she was seen to change her
course and 60 through evolutions with
wonderful ease. The ponderous body of
metal and machinery bounded through
the ocean waves light as dainty yacht,
dashing ahead. stopping suddenly or de-
scribing curves and circlesfor her masters.
Then the magnificent cruiser headed for
the Golden Gate and sped homeward at
great speed. She wore the gayest OF garbs.
From stem to stern line of bunting ex-
tended over the mast heads. The navy
jack-the blue fac and white stars of
Americas navy-fuated from pole at her
bow, aud old glory was thrown to the
breeze behind. Other lines of bunting
hung from ihe masts. so that the Olympia
came home in holiday dress after winning
laureis for California.
As she sped into the harbOr a swell fol-
lowed that raised waves GU either shore
of the Golden Gate. The giant twin sore
working below where no eyes could see
them churned the sea into foam, which
lay stretching far in her wake. At the
heads the Olympia was met by a tugbOat,
with Henry L. Scott, president of the
Union Iron Works; james OBJ. Gum,
George +. Ames. George 5. Folsom, George
Fredericks, a. Che sebr0ugh, Captain Hart
OF the Merchants ald Ship-owners' Tug
boat Company and the office staff of the
Union Iron Works aboard. The escort
party climbed up the steel huIwarks, and
soon were cheering and congratulating

c0mplished so much for the Union Iron
Works.

On the wharf there is a coal chute about
nifty ieet high. The top was covered with
canvas. which bore this proud boast:
Olympia, Queen of the Sea"
The words were ible from the cruiser
and offered new food for enthusiasm
aboard.
As soon as the Olympia cast anchor she
swung around with the tide in water calm
as pond. Her dark brown tunnels were
blackened with smoke. but '22:15 the
first rum in great white figures stood out
brightly about halfway up 10 tell her
story. 1t could be seen that her gray sides
had suffered from smoke and coaling. On
closer view rooster was seen on top of
the bow flagDole. broOms were above the
masts, smOkestacks and hanging from
ropes stretched between.
That means she swept the seas" re-
marked an engineer who viewed her with
pride.
Irving M. Scott, the United States trial
board, ships officers and escort party left
the Olympia in the Union Iron Works tug
Rockaway, but instead of coming ashore
al the works they sailed past the wharf
and back to town. This sailing past was
like review. MIR Scott was enthusiast
tically cheered. He raised his hat and
bowed 10 his men, and they responded
with more cheers.
Soon after the yacht Ell Primero came
upon the scene. She was gayly bedecked
In bunting and had on board her owner,
Edward w. Hopkins, Charles f. Croker
and other prominent men. She sailed
around the Olympia and saluted with
whistles and flag. The Olympia officers
returned the salute. and then the little
boat that had come into existence along
side the cruiser sped away like flash.
Later IN the afternoon about 200 men,
bers of the. Olympia's crew came ashore,
leaving about fifty men on board to clean
up and watch the Ship.
Among those who welcomed Mr.. Scott
was James Dickle, who built the Olympia
and the other Pacific warshIps.

terly meeting last night in the rooms Of
the University Club. About forty mem
bers of the association sat down to dinner,
and the University football team was
present. the members being the guests of
the Alumni.
At tho business session following the
dinner an interesting discussion took place
regarding the appropriate representation
oil the State University at the Midwin ter
Fair. A good deal of interest was dis
played and more or less enthusiasm was
evoked over this matter and also concern
ing others which have To do with with the
progress of the memb ers Alma Mater.

Ppm proud of that ship" he said much
as young man would speak of an animal
he had trained. "She's good from the
keel up. Every bit of her is the best.
She comes up to my expectations"
James OBJ. Gum, secretary of the works,
was more than delighted. II think she
is the crack cruiser Of her class In the
world-21.67. though she is a twenty-kDot
ship. The figures of the trial trips show
she was very even in her work all the way
through. We have every reason TO oe sat
isfed that we nut the ship through such a
severe ordeal and she came out an eminent
success. Nothing broke in all her intri-
cate machinery during the worst strains.
She might have gone above her record, but
we did not expect that--we might hope for
more. but that is human. Men are never
satisfied. In all reasonable bounds, how
ever, she has come up to our expectations,
possibly passed them. She fulfilled all
prophecies from calculations. and that
alone is very satisfactory"
When Irving Scott reached his home he
retired to his room for rest. He has OF
been we'll for week or two and the
strain of watching the trial told rather
heavily on him. So he declined to speak
about the ship. Henry T. Scott was In his
flee and ready TO tell all he knew about
the event at Santa Barbara.
I'VE are perfectly satisfied" said he
More than satisfied, indeed. l see that
the New York, which is twin cruiser
to the Olympia, has been reported by the
trial board at 1884 knots. She is a ship
of the 20-knot class, and the board gave
her q knots. The Olympia gets 81 :67
This is the fastest time made by any twin
screw steamer ahoat in any nation. The
DISPATCHES this morning state that Eng
land Is going TO build two or three cruisers
on her model.
I'VE received $4,000 for every quarter
knot over the specified speed, and a pre-
mlhm over u 80 knots. So far we are
certain IT $4,000. aud if the trial boards
calculations go as We expect eight one
hundredths over 81 :67 we get $3.50, 900.
She may pull up her g ght oDe-hundrsdth,
but the tidal observations from four boats

everything was entirely satisfactory.
CAPTAIN Cotton, who was in charge, saws
she's the fastest slow ship afloai. That
Is, she can steam no slower than II knots
under an ordinary head of steam.
I'VE Will put her on the dock and turn
her over to thu Government as soon as We
