The progress OF ex-senator James G..
Fairs vast improvements on the North
Beach waller front is being generally COM
mented upon. 1t is openly asserted that
this gigantic work of filling in sixty lots
has more in it than meets the eye. All
kinds Histories are current as to the astute
ex-Senat0r's ultimate purposes, and rumor
even whispers tha contracts are soon to
be awarded and the new developments
made apparent in the near future.
All this, however. the ex-senator is un-
willing to admit when directly taxed with
reports of his enterprise. Nevertheless, it
is definitely known that number of prac-
tical propositions for the employment of
his filled-in land are before Mr.. Fair and
that gen tleman has been seriously consid-
ering them. They relate, in the main, to
the prospective establishment of extensive
manufactures on the waters edge. One
is for the erection of large pottery works,

THE DYNAMITERS
Woods and Tracy Re-
leased From Custody.
TyrrelI's Case Postponed for One
Week-The Police Make Lit
tie Progress.

Although the police are straining every
nerve they are making slow progress In
the solution OF the mystery surrounding
the dynamite outrage. CIews there are In
plenty. but beyond taking up the time of
the detectives in running them down they
have so far amounted to nothing tangible.
Chief Crowley is of the opinion that the
COroner's jury should have brought in a
verdict of murder against Tyrrell, as the
evidence brought before it was substa ntially
the same as is now In the possession of the
police. While the findings of the Cor
oner's jury do not carry much weight
with the courts of justice, yet in this ca So
they would have been corroborative of the
views taken by the Police Department. +
Yesterday afternoon the Chief released
Woods and Tracy as there was not sufi-
cient evidence against them to justify a
charge of murder. The men have all
along professed their innocence, and it is
quite probable that they could have sue
ceeded in establishing their innocence had
they been brought TO trial. They never
theless looked considerably relieved when
they learned OF the order OF release, and
were not long in getting away from the
vicinity of the old City Hall.
John Tyrrell appeared in Judge Con-
Inns court yesterday morning for his pre-
liminary trial on the charge of murder
pIhceu dEdluSG Hiiu q lew udyS ago. Dur
nett G. Haskell, one of the organizers of
the Sailors Union, appeared for the de-
fendant and asked for a continuance Of the
case for one week. The attorney stated
that he appeared in the case a a matter of
charity, as he knew Tyrrell to be without
money or influential friends and be-
lieved him to be innocent, and there
fore he would give the defendant the
benefit of what legal knowledge he had at
his command. In asking for a continu-
ance the attorney said that he was conf
dent that before the week asked for had
elapsed the Police Department would find
that the charge of murder could not be
substantiated and the case would be
dropped. On this showing, and the prose-
cution Offering no objection, the case was
postponed until Friday of next week.
Tyrrell says he will be able to prove an
alibi when his case comes to trial.
John Curtin, proprietor Of the boarding
house which was wrecked by the explo-
sion, is very bitter against John Doyle.
He says Doyle has been instrumental In
bringing about all of the Quarrels which
have occurred between the roomers in the
rival boarding houses. The police also
hold to the opinion that Doyle has not told
all that he knows of the case. and express
the belief that his boarding-hOuse at one
time or another shielded the persons who
committed the crime,

Formerly it looked like the side of farm
er's wagon after a muddy winter. But the
whitewashers have changed that, and the
old fence now is as clean as a snowbank.
This is the first thing that is noticed by
passenger on the Geary-street cars. Once
inside the fence, though. and it takes
more than a glance TO see all that as
s. been done.
First and most prominent is the new
clubhouse of the California Jockey Club.
This has been erected south of the old
clubhouse. 1t is of frame. two stories
high, and surrounded by wide balconies
from which the races can be viewed. The
interior will be fitted up luxuriousiy. ana
with facilities for obtaining refreshments,
so that it is sure to be very popular
through the winter.
The demand for clubhouse of this sort
has been very strong, and of long date.
From it all questionable characters will
be excluded. Racing in San Francisco
has not been as popular as it should be
among society people. Their complaint
has always been that too many common
and undesirable characters found their
way to the balconies of the old clu bhouse.
They were obliged to mix with them or
else stay away. Consequently the races

Henry Schwartz also bought a couple of
youngsters from Theodore Winters while
in Nevada. He intends giving them TO
Johnny Weber to train together with most
of the string that Billy Appleby has been
caring for. This will be Weber's first at
tempt at training. He will have ample
opportunity of showing his ability, be-
cause in addition to Schwartz's horses he
will have the handling of Ottinger's ami
mails. including Joe Cotton and the great
Wildwood.
Charles Fairs horses have been attached
by his father. This is looked upon more
as punishment of the young man for his
dissoute habits than as an attempt Of the
father to force him out of business.

THE RACE TRACK.
The First Decent One in
San Francisco.
HANDSOME CLUB BUILDINGS.
Some improvements That Have Been
Made at the Bay District DUR
ing the Summer.

For the first time In It's history San
Francisco has a racetrack that does not
look like cross between a junkshop and
q sandhill. For the first time since rae
ing has been popular arrangements have
been made for the accommodation OF all
classes of spectators.
1t has taken some money to perfect the
improvements which have been going on
and there has been q great deal of plan
ming and a great deal of labor expended.
Now. however. that everything is nearly
completed the old Bay District track. out
under the shadow of Lone Mountain, is so
changed that if it were not for the hollow
infeld and the cross on the big sandhill to
the eastward it would be recognized with
difficulty by the Oldest tout or most con-
firmed traek-frequenter who ever visited 1t.

Two Organizations of Women Dis
cuss Municipal Cleanliness.
The sanitation committees Of the Woman's
Council and the San Francisco Council OF
Women held joint meeting in Foresters'
Hall last night, which was attended by
almost 100 persous.
Mrs. Anna f. Smith called the meeting
to order and Mrs. c. A. Morse was chosen
presid ent and Mrs. Marian Thrasher secre-
tary.
Mrs. Morse said that during recent trip
to the Eastern States she had investigated
the steps taken there for the preservation
of health and saw no reason why San
francisco, with its natural advantages,
should be behind its sister cities.

A BOOST FOR JOOST.
A Mission Meeting In Favor of His
Road.

A mission meeting In Favor OF Ills
Road.
A meeting of Mission residents and
property-owners was held last night on
Falcon avenue, where the tracks of the
san Mateo Electric road were torn up last
Saturday by order of the Mayor. A reso-
luton was adopted declaring that the au-
thorities should grant the promoters of the
railway all reasonable demands designed
to facilitate travel between the park and
the southern part OF the city.
The most significant speech Of the even
ing was made by Supervisor James. who
said there was no real opposition, and that
the road should be carried on and ex-
tended. The trouble of recent date. he
believed. was due to q mistake. as he was
informed hat the owners of the railroad
were building principally at the disputed
point on their private land. The Board of
Supervisors was willing TO do what it could
to facilitate the building Of the road, and
IL any right of way or franchise for any
streets were needed would willingly grant
the privileges asked. The board, he said.
was in sympathy with Joost. as 1t believed
that the road. il built, would help the city
in every regard The trouble would be
adjusted by the board satisfactorily to all.
and at Mondays meeting the privileges
asked for would be given.

in wet weather there will be no mudholes

Just across from the betting ring is the
new saddling paddock and Jockeys quar-

fragrant tan bark for the horses to walk
on. In the center are two rows of stalls,
thirteen in each, which face each other.
The office of the clerk of the scales and the
lounging-room for the jockeys are at the
southern end.
The fact that the new paddock Is in
closed and rooted over makes it a marked
Improvement over the old one. In winter,
when the ground is muddy, the winds are
sharp and the rain is falling, the horses
can be prepared for race com fortably in
stead of being plodded around in the cold
and wet and being stiffeled up by the
wind and rain.

O'Ferrall for Governor.

Having watched with special interest
the newspapers of this State-at least a
considerable number of them-so that
we might have an opportunity to judge
of the public sentiment in regard to the
most suitable Democrat for the Guber-
material office, we are fully convinced
that without doubt a very considerable
number, if not a majority of representa-
tive papers and prominent Democrats,
are in favor of Congressman Charles T.
O'Ferrall. His ability and his sturdy
Democracy commend him to the Old
Guard, while the party as whole would
never have cause to regret his nomina
ton. Believing that the rank and file
of the Democratic party in Allegheny
county are in favor of Col. O'Ferrall, the
VIRGINIAN will espouse his cause and
use all honorable means to bring about
his nomination. Democrats, let us be
up and at work.
