JOCKEY CLUB DOINGS.
Owner Dickey Is in Trouble-The Stew
ards Investigate Other
Runs.

D. R. Dickey, owner of the Pescador
stable, has been ordered to remove his
horses from the racetrack. Mr.. Dickey
approached John Merrill, the assistant
starter, and stated that he intended to
start his horse Pescador in few days, and
that if Merrill saw that he got away well
he (Dickey) would make it consideration
for him.
Mr.. Dickey stated that he was greatly in
need of money, and as he did not look
upon the proposition in criminal light
the stewards decided to deal leniently with
him.
At the conclusion of the steeplechase the
stewards had veterinary examine the
horse, the Lark, to see if he had been
fixed" before starting in the race.
After an examination the veterinary
stated there was nothing wrong with him,
but that in taking one of the jumps he had
struck himself, injuring one of his heels
badly, and that only game horse would
have continued running in the race.
Owner Van Ness, in explanation OF the
bad run made by his horse Mainstay, said
that he was greatly disappointed in the
animal, as he expected to win and played
him. After the last race Van Ness said
that he would take the horse out and show
the stewards that he was possessed OF
more speed than he showed in the race.
In this he was disappointed for the horse
ran quarter in exactly the same notch as
he ran in the race. So trainers and not
the Jockeys are at fault sometimes.

THE CIRCUS ROYAL OPEN,
1t Proved a Surprise in Novel
ties and Spectacular
Beauty.
A Foaming Waterfall and CoIored
Fountaln-Athletics and
Music.

The Circus Royal and Venetian Water
Carnival opened last night at the corner
of Eddy and Mason streets with crowded
house and performance that, for spectac-
ular event and novelty, was everything
that could be desired. Indeed, its orig
inality proved to be a treat to lovers of
public entertainments.
The old panorama building has been so
changed inside that its appearance last
night, under the brilliant electric lights
surprised the crowds who went to see the
circus and carnival. In the center of the
main floor is ring, rising around which
are tiers of theater-chairs and rows of
boxes. The dress circle is fronted with
loge-boxes, behind which are hundreds of
seats, and from floor to ceiling everything
is finished in cream and gold very beau
tiful in effect and very rich in contrasts.
The entertainment began with a grand
march of performers, which showed the
numerical strength of the company, This
was followed by horse auadrille by lady
and gentlemen riders. The next feature
showed what kind of athletes are in the
company through series of double somer-
sault jumps, in which John Stack, who
wore California poppy-colorsd tights, made
hit. A clever Japanese juggler gave an
exhibition OF surprising feats that were APP
plauded.
Then came flying trapeze act by new
aerial artist, Mile Lolita Miranda, who
had many new things in her line. The
four Rosaries, from Paris, literally set the
house wild with enthusiasm over their
acrobatic feats.
Miss Tex, 1.-THE American girl" in from
tier costume, rode a bucking bronco that
SHE'D at the lights and people and failed
to buck.
Stack and clown Eddie Sylvenio per-
formed on the triple horizontal bars, and
this event was given applause, which it
fully merited. Peter w. Barlow, the Eng
fish champion bareback rider, did we'll on
new horse, but two of the Rosaries, as
clowns, gave comical boxing match that
made every body present roar with laugh
ter and electrified the sports.
Zyarra performed on the high wire a
series OF thrilling feats, Joseph Williams
rode bareback over hurdles and Jumped
with his horse through a ring of flames.
The circus performance ended with splen-
did tumbling by the company.
The water carnival was a general sur
prise. In few minutes the ring was
covered with a tremendous rubber and q
waterfall course was constructed over the
performers entrance, and presently water
shot upward to the ceiling from hydrant
in the center and was sprayed from NOV
able pipes all round the ring.
a torrent peured down the fall in foam
ing leaps, while colored lights played upon
the magnificent spectacle, which rivaled the
electric fountain. With four feet of water
in the ring, Miss Cora Beckwith, the Eng
llsh swimmer, gave an interesting aquatic
exhibition, which was followed by the
Venetian float with Neapolitan quartet
and Deyy of pretty girls, with Miss Marion
Nolan as the Venus among them. The en-
tertainment concluded with pyrotechnic
display OF shower OF golden sparks.

A. R. U, RE0RGANz|NG,
Harry Knox Says 1t Is Prepar-
ing for an Extensive
Strike.
MAY TAKE SIX MONTHS WORK.
Engineers and Conductors Going
Into the Order, but Their
Names Kept Secret.

The reorganization of the American
Railway Union is under way and is max
ing progress satisfactory to the old-line
members. In fact, so much has been done
that reinstatement of the old scale OF
wages is looked for before October next.
Harry Knox, who was so prominently
mentioned in connection with the strike at
Sacramento last summer, has charge of
the work. He says:
1.-The railroads desire to keep the old
organizations in existence. They are afraid
of having all the railroad men united under
one order because when they are so organ
lied the little dissensions do not crop up
with any degree of effect. They know that;
hence they want to keep the A. R. U. from
getting the other men to unite with US.
GAS soon as our organization is per-
fected formal demand will be made for
restoration of wages, and if not complied
with will result in greater strike than
that of last summer.
1.-THE engineers and conductors are dis
satisfied with the condition of their affairs,
though they are saying little about it.
They are joining the A. r. u, but in such
a way that no one knows they are mem
bers. We approach a man and explain
the proposition. He is given blank slip
and envelope. If he desires to join the
order he places his name on the slip, en-
closes 1t in the envelope which he hands
back sealed.
mo one knows his name and no one
will know it until the membership of the
order takes in 80 per cent of the railroad
men. We have some 30 per cent of them
now in the safe-deposit box, but their
names are unknown to any one. If | was
asked TO name ten men who belong to the
order | could not do it, for do not know
their names"
when Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers was here did the
A. r. U. make any proposition for the
engineers to join the order?' was asked.
ave did not. We look on Chief
Arthur as a 'scab'- herder. You should
hear the engineers talk since he came here.
They have changed their minds regarding
him and are coming into the A. R. U.
almost solidly."
"How soon will the reorganization be
perfected?"
Hardly for six months. There is a great
deal of work to be done, but by that time
we will have the 80 per cent"
"Will the street railway men be included
in the A. r. U. ?"
mot at present. We will have con-
vention soon at which changes will be
made in the constitution which will admit
the street-railway men to mem bership, but
just at present they could hardly unite
with us. Their class of work is different,
but feel certain they will be part of the
order after the convention.
"Our grievance committee is still in ex-
istence and is doing good work. By the
time we are ready to take the step there
will be no chance for the companies to say
they have nothing to arbitrate."

CONVERTS TO UNIoNIsM.
The Carpenters Mass Meeting Produc
tive of Good Results.

The Carpenters Mass Meeting Produc-
tive of Good Results.
Several hundred carpenters and joiners
attended the mass-meeting at the temple
last evening, called by E. L. Malsbury, the
district organizer for Northern California
of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America.
The object of the meeting, as stated by
Mr.. Malsbury was to induce all non-union
men to join the local unions of carpenters
and work together to secure schedule of
increased wages in the future. In the
course of his remarks he denied the pub
hshed report that strike was contem-
plated. To disprove the report he stated
that the local association of contractors
had stated that if a majority of the car
penters presented a proposition to them
for an increase of wages, the suggestion
would be favorably received, and COM
pact was made for year to maintain such
a schedule.
In response to the call for non-union
men to join the unions, quite a number
advanced to the secretary's desk and en-
rolled themselves. 1t was decided to hole
another mass-meeting week from next
Wednesday evening for the purpose OF
gaining more recruits.
