OCEAN VIEW COURsINd.
John w Wins His Great Race Against
Billy the Washer.

Billy the Washer.
Thera was some very lively coursing at
Ocean View yesterday.
The weather was very crisp, though the
sun shone the greater part of the day The
cold was just sufficient to invigorate one 10
a state OF nimbleness. So both hares and
hounds, as well as the men, felt the invig-
Grating effect of the cold, and the result
was degree of freshness on the part Of
the hares and agility on the part Of the
hounds which made the days courslng
very good.
The feature of the day was the conclusion
OF the $50 match between D. Bello's Billy
the Washer and Charles Nie!and's John W.
Both dogs ran two courses last Sunday,
each hound winning acourse, when owing
TO tie lateness of the hour the match was
continued till the following Sunday, corr
sequently the contest excited considerable
interest when the race was announced for
conclusion yesterday, and the betting was
quite lively,
The first course ran by the dogs was un-
decided, the judge being unable to give it to
either hound. The second course resulted
in the same decision, neither deg getting
game first When two undecided courses
were announced the excitement became in
tense and considerable money was put upon
the race.
III Ine tHlTu course the mare tDat He'd from
cover as the dogs left the slips was a very
nimble animal. Long John, however, got
the advantage from the start and won hands
down.
Then began the races of the day, regu-
lar sixteen-dog stake.
JENNY G. left the slip with Tom Moore
after lively hare. but the latter dog easily
won the victory.
The next race between Longfellow and
Commassie was very closely contested, but
the former animal proved winner, though
the odds in betting were against him. The
following was the result of the other
matches; Depend On Me beat Dean Swift,
Snowflake beat MERGED Boy. Spiledriver
beat Pride OF tie Park, Jack Dempsey beat
Wee Lassip, Clevernpss beat White Rustic,
Billy the Washer beat Dolly Dimple.
In the FIRST ties Longfellow beat Tom
Moore, Depend On Me beat Snowflake. Jack
Dempsey beat Billy the Washer and Clever
ness beat Spiledrlver.
In the second ties, LongfelIow beat
Depend On Me, and Jack Dempsey beat
Cleverness. In the final, LoBgellow, with
the betting against him, beat Jack Dempsey,
So Longfellow got first prize, Jack DeTp.

Trouble With the Texts.

Colonel Shepard's early efforts TO convert
his newspaper into a religious daily were
not unopposed in his own Office. When the
daily text first appeared in the composing
room II was lost. This happened several
times, and more than one editorial utterance
OF tho kind that afterward became CHARGE
teristic OF the colonePs newspaper met the
same fate. But Colonel Shepard knew w hat
he wanted, and never lacked the persistence
10 enforce his will against annoying obsta-
cles. once, after the daily text had become
an established feature, the cory of the text
was lost between the Colonel and the COM
posing room, and au ungodly employe was
heard com plaining OF the mishap in lang
uage peculiarly Inappropriate to the Office
OF great religious daily. In the end the
editor and proprietor was asked to supply
another text. which he did without difficulty
or show OF serious vexaiion.

hearts on having the saloons of Alameda
closed on one day in the week. at least,
were out in force, and many a man was
held up'' in PLAIN, unmis akable way and
made 10 say which side he intended TO take
on the liquor question.
The fight has been going on for some
time, but within the last two weeks il has
become very warm indeed.
A CALL reporter who went over the
ground yesterday found plenty OF work TO
do in endeayoring TO get an impartial review
OF the situation alter representatives Of the
three parties had buttonholed him and
given the assurance that theirs was the only
fair practical, unprejudiced side of the
question
One OF theE Oldest residents OF Alameda
said: This is fight against low license.
That is one point. Another point is the
segregation of the positions OF Superintend-
ent of Schools and Member Of the Board
OF Education. The present superintend-
ent is member of the board 20 sec
Rotary, and has held the poe -vr a num-
Der OF years. The generar impression is
that the positions should be segregated;
that these positions should not be filed by
one man; that On official should not be al
lowed to vote on the board on matters that
concern himself The present occupant
OF this position is Dennis j. Sullivan.

bred is leaving no stone unturned to secure
success and close the saloons on Sundays at
all events. In quiet, transformations way
n great deal of smart eiectiOnaering has
been done by the wives, daughters aud lady
friends III the committee members. and even
the church meetings were not allowed to
pass unutilzed by the energetic fair ones.
Colonel Babcock delivered an address at
Park-street Methodist Church during the
afternoon, in which he strenuously advo-
Gated closing the saloons on Sund tys. The
Rev. DR.. John Ceyle addressed he congre-
CATION at the same place in the evening,
dwelling on the Importance of the question
to be decided by to-day's election. and urg-
Ing his hearers TO vote for The closing OF
the saloons.
The Australian ballet will govern the
election. There are six candidates for two
trusteeships as follows: William Ham,
mond. Non-Partisan Iud- pendent; Theo-
dore w. LeydeckPr, Non-Partisan Inde-
pendent; John c. Linderman and Robert
ii. Tsppan. independent Non-Partisan;
and John e. Mason and George E. Plum
bers OF the Board of Education are to be
voted for. and three candidates have
offered themselves, namely, Cyrus A.
Brown, George K. Miller and Dennis j..
Sullivan. james B. Barber is the only
candidate for City Treasurer and E. Minor
Smith the only candidate for City Assessor.
For the city recordcrship there are two
lndenendent candidates, Elisha o. Crosby
and Robert MeG0w1, while Frederick ST.
sure has the support of the Non-Partisans
and Non-Partisan Independents. Oscar L..
Rogers is the only candidate for tie city
marshalship. And then comes the little
Joker on the ticket In the shape of these two
questions, to be answered yes or no:
Flrst-ShaIl the saloons be closed on Sunday?
Second-Shall the present liquor License be
maintained?
Right here comes In the great conflict of
opinion, ranging all the way from declara-
ton that Sunday closing will kill Alameda

"Send the MorGue wagon 10 the corner Of
Third and King Streets"
The message reached the Coroner's Office
at 10 o'clock last night and few minutes
later the black wagon was on Its way to the
place designated. The vehicle was wanted
at the saloon, 700 Third street, where an
old man with matted hair and beard lay
dead.
He was Captain August Jansen of the
schooner Emily Shredder, slowly decay
ing vessel that has been moored near the
foot of Fourth street for several months
Jansen owned the schooner. but was unable
10 obtain crew because stories OF his
niggardliness had been spread broadcast
by mariners who had sailed with him. So

Emily Shredder with his dog
Two or three months ago the grocer from
whom he obtained his provisions missed the
old cap tain, and procuring boat boarded
the vessel. Rusted chains. rotting ropes
ana widowed sails were on every side. A
dog that was suffering from acute starva-
ton yeiped on the deck, and in the cabin
he found the emaciated body of the old
man, who had been sick and unable to OBJ
tain assistance.
The story was told in The CALL at the
time. and the ancient mariner was dubbed
The Hermit of the Bay" Food aud
stimulants were sent TO him and food was
sent 10 the dog. The hermit quickly re-
covered and reappeared. with matted hair
and whiskers, at the Third-street saloon,
where he died las. night.
He called there every night, and also
visited a sister who lived on Perry street.
When lie went into the saloon last night
he said that lie was i'll and asked for glass
of wafer.
1t was given him. and after drinking II
his head fell upon the counter. The bar
keeper looked at his face and saw that his
eyes we're fixed aud that his cheeks had lost
their color. The hermit of the bay was
dead, and the Coroner was summoned to
remove his body.
Jansen was 60 years old and was a native
Of Norway. His only known relative is the

Mr.. Leydecker's home and family did not

decker expressed the conviction that there
was no desire on her husbands part, or any
ones else, to see the old Sunday orgies on
Webster street and around the baths re-
viyed; but the idea was that II the present
higi-hcense system is retained and the
saloons closed on Sunday, a number Of re-

That Is the way Mr.. Leydecker looks at
