ington who are making winning fight on
the funding proposition.
His impatience at what he terms the
'apathy and lack of patriotism on the part
of the people, grew out of all bounds, and
he spoke strongly on the subject.
"The lack of interest of the people of
this coast in relation to the funding bill is
almost beyond belief" he said, land can
clearly see that in the manner in which
things are now going the railroad is sure to
win its point and saddle itself and its
debts on the country for the next half CEN
tury.
People who should be out fighting, tooth
and nail, against such a measure are
standing like cattle waiting for the butch
er's knife, doing nothing but watch the
railroad. The corporations are buying
Congress-have already bought It--with
the money stolen from these same people.
Year by year the octopus becomes more
and more insolent, and should this bill
giving it $80,000,000 more of money be-
come a law, as l am now quite sure it
will, where will we stand? We will be
more than ever the slaves of the cor
poration.

my own money on each session of Con-
gress for several years past to keep the
railroad in check, and | am not going to
do it any longer. 1t is time the people did
their share. The taxable property of San
Francisco is worth $300,O00,000 and its
owners should certainly be willing to
raise fund that if used successfully will
enhance the value OF San Francisco prop
erty 25 per cent"
The Mayors disappointment over the
funding bill matter and his failure to
bring the Board of Health to his way of
thinking on the water question has led to
the circulation of a rumor that he may
resign his Office. When asked about the
matter lastevening he declined to give
definite answer, but stated that his disgust
at his failure to receive the full support of
the people in his fights against the railroad
and water companies had gwen him
thoughts of such course.
But |. am tired out and brain weary"
he said, "and do not know just now what
l shall do. My physicians have advised

a trip to my country property.
"You may be sure, however, that /
would not think of resigning unless l could
be sure that an honest and fair minded
man was to be elected by the Supervisors
to take my place. Why, they might elect
a member of the Solid Eight-Joe King,
for instance-and what disgrace that
would be to this community.
cat any rate, I shall not bother about
the matter for the present, and if should
by any chance decide to resign it will not
be for some time-not until after New
Years."

on an errand, they could not drop in and
play some race.
A patrol wagon sent within hundred
feet of any of these places would stampede
the games, because there is not man,
woman or child playing at this pool busl-
ness but knows he or she is dong some
thing against the law.
The influence these rooms are having on
the younger generation is terrible when
one stops to think of it.
In THE CALL yesterday mention was
made of little boy named Willie" He
has sold newspapers for year or two at
Lotta'S fountain and he accumulated some
few hundred dollars. Benny is his real
name, but since he has become book
maker and hied himself to the outskirts of
the racetrack he has changed his name TO
Willie.
Benny has been the banker of the news
boys for some months-ever since he won
the Bulletin prize for selling the most pa
pers. He caught the poolroom craze and
lost his honey. He was cunning enough,
however, to see that if one end of the game
was loser the other must be winner, SO
he began TO make books himself. The
lads around the fountain know to their
sorrow that he has taken the best end of
the gamble.
But to return to the men who deal these
games. 1t is a safe proposition to expect
that they will not pay the bets they lose
when the amount goes beyond 500. Bau-

Dan McCarty's Guadalupe to
Run a Novel Race Against
All Records.
THE OUTCOME OF A DISPUTE.
Mr.. Macdonough Bets McCreary He
Cannot Ride Twenty Miles in an
Hour and Ten Minutes.

A novel wager has been made between
w. OBJ. Macdonough, the millionaire
owner of the famous Ormonde, and w.
McCreary, young Englishman here, who
is largely interested in horses.
Mr.. Macdonough has wagered Mr.. Nc
Creary $1,000 that he cannot find a horse
that he can ride over any track twenty
miles in one hour and ten minutes.
Mr.. McCreary has ridden in several gen
tlemans races in England, and was so GER
tain he could accomplish the feat that he
accepted the wager as soon as it was made.
White Hat McCarty has been delegated
by both gentlemen to procure the needed
steed.
Il will get him out of my own stable, y
said McCarty last night, land he will be
the finest horse I've got namely Guada-
loupe. He can go the twenty miles with
McCreary on him, and I'll bet Macdon-
ough $1,000 on top of his original bet that
he do it,
"There has never been test of speed of
this kind before. Horses have trotted
twenty miles in 81 minutes and 27.seconds,
but that, of course, is different from this
bet.
"Mr. McCreary has two months in which
to name the day of the race against all
famous records. l presume it will take
place at the Ingieside track, as that is the
best course, but as yet it has not been
definitely decided upon =
II am confident Guadaloupe' has the
speed and staying qualities to carry Nc
Creary through. He will get the $1,000
sure. l only wish l could get some money
on the proposition myself. But it will be
run against time worth seeing.
The wager grew out of discussion Mr..
Macdonough and Mr.. McCreary had few
days ago. Mr.. McCreary thought he could
get horse and ride this distance in the
time given and Mr.. Macdonough offered to
bet there wasn't horse in California or
anywhere tnat could do it. The bet was
taken, and the result will be that Guada-
loupe will win some fame, as we'll as the
$1,000.
"Y GU can quote me as saying so"

An Argument Which Results in a
Black Eye for C.. Il.

G. e. Bacon, the junior member of the
firm of Armstrong & Bacon, music deal
ers, had very painful experience yester-
day forenoon, as result of which he now
has badly discolored eye and a confused
nose.
Mr.. Bacon's story is that he went into
Sherman, Clay & Co.. s music store to cor
rect a slight error in an account. While
there he was approached by Louis F. Gels
Ter, manager for Sherman, Clay d Co. who
made some sighting reference to a con-
troversy which the two firms had engaged
IN over the obtaining of an agency.
Without any cause, according TO Bacon,
Geisler struck him in the face and knocked
him down. After be was down Bacon
made some remark and was again struck,
the second blow blackening his eye. He
was assisted to his feet by one of the clerks,
and he at once pro ceeded TO the City Hall,
where he had a warrant issued for Geisler
for battery. The latter was taken to the
California street station.

of this ''welching" A letter received at
the office of The CALL tells of other ways
in which the betting public is molested. 1t
reads as follows:
Wednesday, December 4.
TO the Editor of the Daily Cdtl-DEAR SIR: 1
would warn all those VINO are inclined to
gamble in the many poolrooms which have
sprung up like mushrooms Tor rather toad
stools against the latest swindle perpetrated
upon confiding public. A man goes up TO
play certain horse, and finds the name of
another on his ticket when he goes TO cash it.
On Tuesday this occurred twice in poolroom
on California street, and there can be no
doubt that the swindle was, no clerical error.
II is about time that some steps were taken to
close these thieying dens, where the odds are
fixed to suit the books and fair market price
can never be had. Yours respectfully,
WILLIAM L. EYRE.
Another scheme which is widely prac-
ticed in some of these poolrooms is quite
ingenious. A man steps up and buys
ticket, paying his money and getting
pasteboard indicating the odds at which
the wager is accepted.
If that ticket wins and the poolroom

acter.

The chickens at the Pavilion who are
enjoying the distinction of being the finest
in the land greeted larger audience
yesterday and last night than on the
opening DAYS. The show is settled down
into good running order, and between this
and the closing day next Tuesday, it is
expected that thousands of lovers of fine
poultry will be in attendance.
The exhibition is worthy in every way.
The birds represent the results of careful
study of the domestic fowl and the intel
ligence of breeders of fine stock. There
isn't common specimen of the feathered
tribe among the 1900 on exhibition.
But there are some that look a good
deal like the chickens of farmyards of early
days, with this difference that they are
more beautiful, greater in size and pos
sessed of spirit that was absent from the
common herd when all chickens were born
in the ordinary way-under hen.
By the way, there are no old hens in the
poultry show, The old hens are back
mum bers. Their usefulness is no longer
recognized. The inventive genius of man
that produced the incubator has short
ened the life of the chicken and in many
cases deprived the mother hen OF caring
for the brood for whiGhsshe produced the
eggs. y.
Secretary Wheeler yesterday visited a
number of the occupants of the compart-
ments in which the chickens are housed
and placed the tags and the ribbons on the
following list: White Wyandottes, blue
Spanish, buff Wvandottes, black Wyan-
dottes, buff Plymouth Rocks, whiteface
black Spanish, white-crested black Polish,
blue Andolusians, white Rocks, Houdans,
white Wonder, Dorking Silver, Golding

Professor Hilgard rendered his report
yesterday on the subject OF the relative
value Of the brown shell and the white
sh ell eggs for food. The large fowls are
p roducers of the brown and the small ones
the white shells.
According to the analysis of the eggs by
Professor Hilgard the disputants upon
this subject have received little consola-
ton. The professor has been unable to
disc over any marked difference between
the food qualities of the brown and the
white shell eggs.

If the people could only see. and under
stand how they are being robbed of their
money there would be no necessity for the
Grand Jury or Supervisors to take action
against the poolrooms. But. as they do
not, Chief Crowley should send his officers
down and arrest all those people who are
daily violating the provisions of the Ellert
ordinance.
