SQUARE SPORT
Being Carried On at the Bay District
Track.

Although 1t had been predicted by a few wise
acres that summer meeting at the Bay Dis
tTict Track would result dIsastrOusly to the
promoters of such an enterprise ana tend 10 de-
grade the sport, the result thus far falls short
in confirmation Of the opinion held by the wise
prognostfcators. The meeting thus far has
been decided success. and next season will
witness the greatest summer meeting that San
Francisco has ever known. AS every one is
we'll aware, the best horse does not always win
hence the dissatisfaction expressed when
favorte brings up the rear. Patrons of the
turf should not be TOO haSty In attaching blame
10 horse, owner or rider when such things
occur, for, in a..maj0rity of instances, those
hrst mentioned. are least at fault. Horses are
mere equine brutes and are subject 10 many
lhdlSpositions prevalent ia the human family.
ana 10 that source may be ascribed many dis
appointments experienced by followers of the
track. Since racing first began the sport was
open TO CRITICISM but it is hardly fair to Indulge
III such unless you possess proof positive
that you opinion is founded on real fact.
Since MT. Schwartz and the gentlemen
associated &C. with him have assumed charge
Oh the summer racing great deal has been
doneto promote honest racing, and the opinion
held by patrons of the sport Is that YOU have a
Iun tor your money whenever the flag drops.
VI course there are not present at this meeting
any horses called BOundiess or Lamplignter
but there are goodly number of fine ones
that can give very satisfactory account
OF themselves in very speedy COMPANY A
few people are under the IMPRESSION that the
present meeting Is being conducted In the In
terest of the bookmakers To those a cordial
invitation is extended to examine the tally
sheets before and after each race. This fact in
itself should convince the doubling Tbomases
that the sport is being conducted on the SQUARE
AS evidence OF the public's appreciation of
square sport and on account of the Increased
attendance, the races Will continue longer than
was al first supposed, as many owners who are
now CHARTERED AT the track were financially
unable TO cross the mountains with their horses
and those WHO have ventured the trip are now
:regrettng the unwise move The purses con
ties ed for are very fair indeed. and the owners
appreciate the !lberalIty OF the management,
Judging from the number OF entries remain
ing in each event. On Monday next
there will be all extra days racing, viii CHI
promises 10 prove as exciting as 1t will interest.
Ing. Five events are on the slate for that day,
In which all OF the crack flyers will participate,
so those who attend may rest assured OF Wit
Messing great days sport.

DERELICT POLICEMEN.
Two Stars Taken From Officers
Who Shirked Duty.

Who Shirked Duty.
William j. G. Bloomfield and Samuel B.
Alden were dropped from the roll of the
Police Department yesterday.
A special meeting of the Police Commits
sioners was called to consider the cases OF
the two officers. against whom charges
had been made by Police Sergeant Har-
mon. The matter was kept strictly secret
until late in the evening, hen it was
learned unofficially that the nen had been
dismissed.
The charge against Bloomfield and
Alden was absence from duty. But no
time was given them to pre- pare defense.
and contrary to custom of waiting for the
usual weekly meeting of Monday evening.
they we're tried and discharged with ex-
traordinary haste.
On Thursday afternoon they were de-
tailed for special duty in the Western
Addition. which Chief Crowley said de-
manded their uninterrupted attention.
Instead of attending to duty. however,
they went into a saloon and proceeded TO
kill time. According 10 Sergeant Har-
mons report, he found them in the saloon
after watching the place for forty minutes.
One of the derelict officers was seated at
table on which he rested his feet while
reading paper. The other man sat oppo-
site with his head upon his hands upon
the table.
The breach of duty was so fragrant"
suspended them at once and reported the
matter to me. A meeting of the commits
sion was called and the two officers were
dismissed instantly"
Bloomfield was on the force for one
year and Alden for five years.

and Mrs. Campbell made eloquent speeches

neighbors all thought well Of the scheme,
and everything went swimmingly for a
time.
But, alas. after awhile rumors were
limited around and people there were who
turned their heads as they passed by. 1t
began to be said that the Eugenia Home
was not properly conducted, and clergy

JOHN HARD UP.
Annual Meeting of the
Six Companies.
Merchants Report Business Bad and
Many of Their Customers Are
Leaving the Country.

Business is as dull as the wrong end of
an ak in Chinatown, and merchants of
high and low degree are deeply grieyed in
consequence.
All this became apparent at the annual
meeting of the Chinese Six Companies last
evening.
1t also became apparent that the nimble
dollar was succeeding pretty we'll in elud-
ing the grasp of our Asiatic residents, for
there were some pretty long wrangles over
the payment of many bills long since due.
and The question of where the much
needed money was TO come from proved
one that the most astute Monaghan inan-
cier could not solve.
The truth is and it developed during the
session that the Chinese find it very diff
cult to pay their dues to the companies.
and that the companies. after having al
most driven themselves to bankruptcy by
fighting the Geary law, find 1t as difficult
to get along without insisting upon the
prompt payment OF all money due them.
The result of the legal battle against the
registration act has not filled the Chinese
with JOY, and many Of them did not hesi-
tate about saying so during the discussion
which took place at the meeting.
The opinion seems to prevail that some
time or another an attempt to enforce the
law will be made, and they predict that
when the time comes it is going to 90 very
hard with even the few laborers who are
registered. for so many will be deported
that business in Chinatown will be even
tually ruined.
AS things are they are very bad.
Merchant after merchant reported last
night that he was doing absolutely moth
ing. and many predicted that in short
time they would be compelled to close
their stores.
Even in the fireworks line. which here
tofore has been looked upon as an annual
boon, the Chinese say they are doing at
solutely nothing. They attribute this to
the duty which they are compelled to pay
upon their crackers and bombs and which
makes it impossible for them to compete
with local manufacturers.
The highlander question was gone into,
and the committee which has had charge
OF the organization of reformed Ratchet
men which is being formed reported that
there was not thoroughly organized
highbinders' society in the city at the pres
ent time. Several thousand OF the worst
characters. it was said, had left the city,
while majority of those remaining had
abandoned their reckless mode of living.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
brought cut at the meeting was contained
in the secretary's report, and had refer
ence to the Chinese population Of the
State.
According to the report it is decreasing

messenger running across the little drive
way which separates his Office from the
warehouse was reminiscent OF man
hauling water in bucket to extinguish a
fire.. -
1t was generally thought around the
CustOm-ho that some of the employees
would receive their discharge yesterday.
but it was not believed that wholesale
removal of men would be made. In con-
sequence when it became known that at
least seventy were to 90 the greatest con-
sterDatiOn prevailed.
Each time the messenger appeared with
note every man in the building ceased
work and anxiously waited to See if the
message were for him. AS result there
was little labor performed during the day.
The notes simply stated to the reel
pients that on and after July their SER
vices would no longer be required.
When Collector Wise was asked why the
removals had been made he replied
II am making changes in the depart
ments OF my office in order to improve the
service, and the men who were removed
to-day lost their places because l think
can fill them with men of my own political
faith who are capable of doing better
work"
1t is generally understood that many
more changes will soon be made, and that
the heads Of many persons in higher posi-
tiOnS will be rolled into the basket In
consequence. feeling of uneasiness pre-
vades thee ustOms building.

very rapidly. owing to the fact that while
the uncertain condition of affairs in this
country was causing many hundred Chi

of remaining there. it was also prevent

Mr.. Mcknew Says People Are Buyfa,

MTs nCNnCw SoyB ESOUhc hTe uuynnR
Cloaks Qaite Freely.
There is one branch Of our business"
said Mr.W. H. McKnew of 933 Pennsylvania
avenue. lin which think We can justlyclaim
to lead the trade of Washington. and Mat is
in our cloak department. 1 say this because
we have for years made a speciality Of
cloaks and suits, and our trade in these has
been very satisfactory. This season in or
der to encourage the purchasing of cloaks
and suits for Christmas presents, and to
supply those people now, who usually wait
until January to catch the post-Christmas
reductions, we have made some special re-
auctions, and are getting more than our
share of that trade. There are many peo-
pie who think that they can get splendid
bargains il they wait until the slump comes
in January, and they are right. Well, We
want that trade now and We want the
folks to have the benefit of these reduc-
tons for their Christmas shopping. We
have. therefore, reduced things along GER
tain lines according to desirability. There
doubt, to the hard times. to purchase prac-
teal presents, and We are getting rid of
much Of our stock on this account. 1 am
asked daily IL ! do not find that people are
buying cheap goods this year, and always
answer that such is not the result of my
observations. 1 find that my customers at
least. are buying good stun, that they can
depend upon. You see We are known to
have the best stock, and We have the cour-
age to keep It at all hazards. We are known
as dealers in desirable goods; We pay money
for them that ensures US and our custom
ers getting what we know to be fine stuff
That Is the only way that we can give
complete satisfaction and stand behind our
stock. There Is another encouraging sign,
and that is that each year there are fewer
folks going to New York TO buy, for they
"a q hoYo tn 1fxaa
do not know how the hard times have
affected the other local establishments but
I know that our trade for November just
past was the best for any November we
have known since We started in business.
That is a good sign. and can tell you that
the Christmas trade is holding its own.
Our cloak business especially this Christ
mas is very satisfactory. and indicates that
we have made a good deal of new trade
while we are holding all our old standby
custom"
