Mr.. Huntington Assures the Jockey
Club That Its Patrons Will Be
Well Cared For.
The transfer facilities furnished the
patrons of the Ingleside racetrack by the
Southern Pacifc-the Market-street Rail-
way Company-on Thursday and Friday
last, aroused a storm of indignation against
that corporation, and in consequence the
railroad has been compelled to yield to the
popular demand. Through Mr.. Hunting
ton it has promised the Jockey Club that
there shall be no further cause for com.
plant.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Spreckels and
his associates had long conference with
the Southern Pacific officials, with the re-
suit that new schedule was at once put
into operation and will be continued dur
ing the racing at Ingleside. President
Spreckels of the Jockey Club telegraphed
Mr.. Huntington the situation, and that
gentleman Immediately wired the local
magnates to accede to all reasonable de-
mands.
Beginning Monday the Southern Pacific
will run two 15-coach trains from the Third
and Townsend streets depot, the first
leaving at 12:40 and the second at LIS
P. M. Should the occasion demand it ex-
ira trains will be run sufficient to accom-
modate all race -goers. The two trains will
remain at the track until after the races.
Extra trains on Saturdays and holidays
will be run as sections of those trails.
The Market-street road has also made
notable concessions. Upto IL o'clock noon
there will be a Commute schedule, and
after this hour cars will leave the ferry
every OK minutes. On the outward trip.
however, it will be necessary to transfer
at Twenty ninth street, the company
claiming that in order to run through cars
the entire local schedule would have to be
changed. They have, however, consented
to do away with the transfer system on the
return trip as all cars will run direct to the
ferry. This feature was inaugurated yes
terday afternoon.
Behrend Joost stated some two months
ago that he held a franchise over certain
streets leading to the new racetrack and
would have the road completed by Decem-
Der 1. No work has been done up to this
time, but Mr.. Joost positively affirmed
yesterday that it would not be many weeks
before his cars would be running into
Ingleside.
The following letter was received last
night by THE CALL:
Will you please make special mention that
the transportation to the track to-day was very
greatly improved. The steamcars landed peo-
pie TO and from the track IN just twenty-five
minutes.
Beginning Monday, December 2, these trains
viii leave Third and Townsend streets at II 40
and 1:15 P. NJ, and return Immediately after
the races, making the trip in twenty-five min
utes. The round-trip ticket, including admis-
sion to grand stand, will be ST.. The round
trip fare for those holding admission tickets
will be 25 cents. elr
The Mission-street cars are now in good shape
and before three days are over they will Hand
passengers to and from the track in exactly
thirty minutes, and it is certainlya most beau
tiful ride 1or 5 cents.
BY making this special note you will very
greatly oblige. Yours truly,
w. S. LEAKE, Secretary.
