Edward Corrigan Says 1t
Will Be Built.
MIR. WILLIAMS WITHDRAWAL.
1t Will Have No Effect Whatever on
the New Enterprise.
WORK WILL Be COMMENCED SHORTLY.
The New Racetrack Will Be in Readiness
for the Winter Meeting
Next Year.

The new racetrack near Ingleside will be
built independently of Thomas II. Will
liams. Edward Corrigan is the authority
for this statement. He and Joseph Ullman
OF New York control the ground for the
new racing track, having already deposited
some $4,000 in compliance with the agree
ment of purchase.
Mr.. Williams announced his intention of
withdrawing from the enterprise at a
meeting of those interested few DAYS
ago. He wished to control the stock of the
new association, and finding it impossible
to do so retired, and will devote his atten-
ton to the old Bay District track.
"Mr. Williams does not own one cent in
the proposed track" said Mr.. Corrigan. as
he watched the horses start in the hurdle
race at the Bay District track yesterday.
"And more than that he is not likely to.
While we should be glad to have his CO.
operation or that of any other man anxious
to have good track and good racing, we
Will be able to get along without him.
1.-THE new track will be built. There is
no question about that. We will expend
about $3.50, 900 in the enterprise and hope to
have tirst-class track in every way, where
be racetrack in every respect.
"There is no reason why winter racing
in California should not be successfully
carried on. This is an excellent climate
for horses from the East to winter in.
They can do little racing while here and
be all the better for it. When they are re-
turned to the East in the spring they are
not as likely to fall down as they would
be if they remained in a colder
climate during the winter months.
am very favorably impressed with the
idea of winter racing in California. In
fact. like the winter here myself.
"The organization of the new association
is as yet incomplete, and as to the plans
and arrangement of the track l have no
ideas at present. We hope to have the
organization completed soon. however,
and will commence operations in time to
have the track completed and opened for
racing next winter. We are going to push
this enterprise Independently of all opposi-
tion."
Messrs. Corrigan and Ullman have sub
scribed for so per cent of the new associa-
ton. T. H. Williams had subscribed Is
cent, Colonel D. M. Burns and Nose Gunst
10 per cent each, and P. Dunn, B. Schneider
and James Rowe 5 per cent each. Mr..
Williams proposition was to have Corri-
gan and Ullman relinquish 10 per cent of
their stock to his friends, and the PROPOSE
ton was rejected. For that reason Mr..
Williams signed over his stock. and now
there is nice little war brewing.
Ingleside is about half mile from the
ocean, and the site of the new racetrack
is half-mile southeast from this point. 1t
is only short distance north of the San
Mateo electric railway, and is easy of access
both by street railroad and driveways.

Track Notes.

Sir Walter was very sick horse after
the second run. His recovery was con-
sidered doubtful.
Edward Corrigan has sent three of his
string to Rancho del Paso, to be turned out
until the return OF the stable East. Charley
Weber, oFleta and Rodegap were the
lucky ones.
George Rose put good-sized bet on his
horse Leonville.
Chorn rode the winners yesterday. He
rode an excellently judged race on Ingomar,
which was in marked contrast to his ride
on Volt the day previous.
Imp. True Briton was well backed to win
his race.
Stony Clark thought the only one his
colt Tom Clark had to beat was Fayory.
Ravine, well backed to win the second
race ran very we'll for some distance.
Al Smith thought he had cinch with
Eckert. He finished fourth.
Spence said Bellringer would have won
had he not left the course.
Stanford, on Haymarket, claimed Tenn
plemore fouled him, but the claim was not
allowed.

VON SCHMIDT'S SANITY.
The Question Raised in His Suit for
Damages.
Plaintiff Claims It Is No Defense to the
Charge Of Brutality Now
Pending.

The case of Alfred W. Won Schmidt
against the Home for Inebriates still con-
tinues before Judge Daingerfield, the de-
tense having only just commenced, and
there being two more witnesses for the
plaintiff to be heard from as soon as they
can be secured. The testimony yesterday
morning related chiefly to the general
method of treating patients in the home,
how they were fed and what amount of
care was bestowed upon them. In the
afternoon Won Schmidt himself was re-
called to the stand, and he told again, in
detail, the story of how he was tied down
to his bed in the home and how when he
demonstrated he was kicked and cuffed
without mercy.
In the cross-examination Judge SAWYER,
who represents DR.. Potter, the superinten-
dent of the home, insisted on obtaining tes-
timony regarding the insanity of the plain
fought hard to keep the family matters of
the. Won Schmidts from the public ear,
because, she said, it was entirely imma-
terial whether the plaintiff was insane or
not. He had charged in his complaint
that the defendant, DR.. Potter, had brutality
maltreated him, had assaulted him without
cause, and had, by his attendants, al
lowed him to be neglected for days,
strapped to his bed and unable to move
hand or foot. The insanity of the de-
PENDANTS family, she said, was no reason
why his breast-bone should be stamped in
or his teeth knocked down his throat. and
in response to her arguments the court
somewhat circumscribed the limit of Judge
Sawyer's questions.
The first witness for the defendant was
Colonel A. W. Won Schmidt, the father of
the plaintiff. He testified as to how he
sent his son to the Home for Inebriates
because he thought his son insane and be-
cause he could find no other place where
such patient would be taken.

Just about this time one of the great
Partisan dailies started crusade in favor
of cremation, as a lot of crematories had
just been appropriated and their contents
taken to the Catacombs.
Moreover, the city of Paris has recently
constructed, at great expense, very elabo-
rate crematory, which is f1ourishing ex-
ceedingly, but which the municipality
wished to have more extensively adver-
tised. The editor meditated over how he
could achieve the aim which an intimation
from high authorities had requested him
to attain if possible, and had an inspira-
ton.
He ordered set of huge colored photo
graphs showing the change day by day in
the defunct until the skeleton stage is
reached. These were neatly framed and
hung in the newspaper Office, and the
public was notified that they could view
this series free of expense. The photo
graphs, of course, are much better mag
ined than described; but the success of the
exhibition was instantaneous and over
whelming.
All ranks and conditions of people of
both sexes drifted through the rooms and
decided that the exhibition was most curl

tremendous boom, and is at present firmly
incorporated among Partisan institutions.

THE BRAVEsT BOY IN TOWN.

People who rode downtown in certain
electrician on Washington avenue yester-

they received liberal return for their
investment of nickel apiece. In addition
to being carried safely and expeditiously

opportunity of becoming acquainted with

That, at all events, is the light in which
they regard him.
He was good-looking, stylishly dressed,
boyish young fellow, and next to him sat
a shabby woman holding in her lap a

TO COMPLETE THE HALL.
Two Bills Drafted by City Hall Commits
sioner CreswelI.


The Board of City Hall Commissioners
met yesterday morning for the purpose of
considering plans for the completion of
the building. Commissioner Creswell
presented draft of two bills, which he
recommended for submission to the Legis-
lature. One of the bills provided for new
levy, and the other for the construction of
a. new roof, other than the mansard roof
provided for in the original plan. In regard
to the second bill, Commissioner Creswell
said he would never vote for the construc-
ton of any but mansard roof, if the
Legislature did not sanction another kind.
Mayor Sutro said he was in favor of a
permanent roof, which would give another
story to the hall, and this he was informed
by the architect would cost 500, 900. All
OF the Commissioners conceded with the
views OF the Mayor, who asked for several
days time in which to inspect the bills
submitted by Commissioner Creswell. 1t
was thought that sufficient money could be
| raised to complete the hall on the lines
mentioned by 10-cent levy.
The Mayor was strongly in favor of a
levy for one year only, as he said commits
slons had been tinkering away at the hall
for twenty years, and it was time it was
finished.
O'Connell & Lewis, the contractors of
the dome, asked for an extension of 100
days, but the boaro agreed to give them
only ninety days. The board postponed
action on the progress estimates of the
dome contractors for partial payment of
$1,000, as Commissioner CreswelI said he
would vote against the estimates if they
were brought up. This was on account of
the lronwork on the ground not yet being
put into the dome.
The commission decided to have dia-
gram drawn of the different City Hall
floors, and to number each Office in the
buildinp

an opposite seat Uttered which made the
young man blush still more. He edged
away as far as possible and tried, with in
different success, to look unconcerned.
w hen the baby renewed its advances he

to distract its attention.

thets made her cry more loudly. She had
eyes and ears only for a very badly 'rat-
tied young man, who did not seem to re-
turn her affection. She cried as if her
heart were breaking.
And then the young man rose to the oc-
caslon. Calmly ignoring the broadening
smiles OF a car full of passengers, he took
the child from its mother, rocked it a mo-
ment in his strong arms, then walked for
ward and sat down. Instantly the baby's

Is at hand and is gladly welcomed by all,
especially those whose duties in life have
caused them to greatly run down their system
to meet the requirements physical and men
tai, forced upon them. With these and
others, it is important, whether at home, at
the sea-shore or in the country. that some
thought be given to diet, and us further as
sistance to nature a good building-up medi-
cine like Hoods Sarsaparilla had best be re-
sorted to. If the digestion is poor, liver de-
ranged and frequent headaches seem to be
the rule. Hoods will change all this and en-
able everyone to return to their home and
business in refreshed state of mind and
bodily health.
