placed few dollars or his Judgment. He
has not ceased cheering yet. He thinks
the Jonah that was on him at the old
track is off now. "I'm going to win now;
this is my kind of track he informed
Edward Corrigan, who congratulated him
on his success.
Captain Callundan of Harry Morse's
patrol had thirty uniformed men in his
command to care for and protect the
people on the track. Even with that force
he at times found it most difficult matter
to keep the crowd from blockading the
wide stairways leading from the grand
stand to the quarterstretch. The captain
stated last night that for the first time in
years that he has had charge Of the polio
ing OF racetracks he had not been obliged
to place an obstreperous person under
arrest. "This was the most gentlemanly
and best-behaved gathering 1 have ever
had to deal with he stated. This state
ment goes far toward showing the in
fiuence the Pacific Coast Jockey Club is
having in elevating the tone of the race
track.
Regarding the means of TRANSFORMATION
to and from the track it should be said that
the steam cars and the electric line made
| record. Both hauled their cars over new
| roadbeds for the first time, and both came
as near being success as could be hoped.
The steam cars from Third and Townsend
streets carried 1900 people each trip and
reached the track in twenty-four minutes.
The electric cars carried 40 people at one
load and took fifty minutes from Third and
Mission streets. There was but one mis-
hap. An old car from the Metropolitan
line was put in service and was the only
one in fifty-seven to jump the track, caus-
ing delay OF nearly a half hour. Super
lntendent Lynch was at the track looking
out for that end of the service.
Harry Griffin, the premier lightweight
| jockey of America, reac he'd here yesterday
morning at II o'clock and was at the track.
AT one time he and Mayor Sutro stood side
by side, and it was hard telling which at
tracted most attention.
All in all, the opening day of the Pacific
Coast Jockey Clubs meeting was a great
success, and President A. B. SpreckeIs has
no reason to regret he lost the wager he
made with Frank Burke Wednesday night
that the receipts of Thursday would not
amount to more than $4,000. They were
nearly double that sum.
