Racing Notes.

Big, rosy-cheeked Sam Morton is back again
at his old post--patrol judge. A more efficient
man could not have been appointed TO the po-
sition, and withal-the ladies are happy.
The afternoons sport was enliyened by pop
ular airs furnished by the Oakland band.
Edwin +. Smith, secretary OF the State Agri-
cultural Society, came down with the Saera-
mento con tingeut.
Mat Byrnes. who sent the great Salvador to
the post during his racing days, but IS now
employed as trainer of the horses owned by the
Montana "copper" king" Marcus DAILY, arrived
from Montana yesterday, accompanied by
Sam Lucas, manager of Mr.. Dalv's Bitter Root
stock farm. Jockey Duffy, q very clever light
weight, came along with Trainer Byrnes. Five
superbly bred brood mares were sent down
from Bitter Root farm to be bred to the Eng
lish stallion Goldtnch, owned at Rancho del
Paso.
The bookmaking firms that cut in yesterday
were Harlan Co., Joe Rose & Co., Ridley &
Co., Eli Perles, Argyle & Co., John C. Hum
phrey, HOPKINS & Co.. Abe Stein & Co., George

everybody shouting for Mckinley. There
is no doubt about that State. 1t will go
big for Mckinley. I saw many men in
New York who wanted to bet that the
Empire State would be for the Repu blican
Presidential candidate by 250,000 ma
jority.

of course, the people are for Mckinley in
overwhelming numbers. Out West, as l

Chicago during the recent great parade,
and saw 100 600 men in line for the Re-

ing men, too. Illinois will go strong for
Mckinley.
while on my way East I was in Col
orado, and was then told that a man
couldn't even say he was Mckinley man
there, so intense was the feeling. When
came back | was assured that since then
several large Mckinley clubs had been
formed in Colorado and that the sentiment
had changed largely. 1t is so all over the

Plymouth Brethren.

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 24.-The tenth
annual convention of Oakland believers
in the Lord Jesus Christ" is in session at
Gospel Hall, 574 Eighth street. This is an
old evangelical denomination that is very
little known, as it does not advertise itself
or seek notoriety. 1t believes in quiet
Christian conduct and acts and the old
truths of the Bible such as the atonement
mans ruin-Christ's sacrifice. There
are no salaried ministers, but the mem bers
depend on "faith" for their living. The
Christians in different parts of California
provide for the needs of these evangelists
when they visit their towns, but it is a
great sacrifice on their part.
There are present EeIe ministers from
all parts of the coast including Los Ange-
les, Portland, Santa Cruz and Sacramento.
William ]. Mcclure, very able preacher,
and Mr.. Moneypenny, an evangelist,
have been preaching, as well as Mr..
Arnot, a returned African missionary.
Some of the members are very influential
and highly respectable people of Oakland
and vicinity. This denomination disap-
proves of all religious strife and condemns
A. ?. Aism. The meetings will draw to a
close Sunday evening. This last service
will be in the Y. NJ. c. A. Hall, at 80
o'clock Sunday evening, the subject being
"Christ and Him Crucifed."
Results of Three Inquests.
OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 24.-The Coroner
held three inquests last night. Two re-
suited in a verdict of death from heart
trouble, while the other was suicide.
Della Thomson and Thomas Wright were
the first two while the unknown man
found dead in his room was the latter.
He left note signed Strong. but all
efforts to identity him proved unavailable.

BOTH SIDES DISCUSSED.
Strong Arguments Pro and Con on the
Racetrack Incorporation
Scheme.

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 24.-The meeting
of the residents of Golden Gate held last
night was largely attended. d. b. M.
Miller gave them an idea OF the form OF
government of city of the sixth class and
said they would have five trustees who
would have the appointment of all subor-
dinate officers. He advised good selec-
ton of men for that important office.
The other officers would be clerk and ex-
oficio assessor, a treasurer. marshal and
a recorder.
John Jurgens, who had resided in the
place for thirty -four years, opposed lncor-
poration. He thought they were well
enough provided for now.
Mr.. Dunn said that Thomas Williams
had made an appeal to be saved from the
ministers of Oakland and incorporation
was the method of salvation. He did not
favor it.
], H, Rourke said: II am in favor of
incorporation. The assessed valuation
within the proposed city is $4,000 O00, on
which the re is a road tax OF 30 cents. This
Yields $1,000, and only small part of it is
spent in the district. Then there is $4,000
for licenses. The taxes on Shell Mound
Park and the racetrack would add $500
more year, making $13, 500. The town
could run on $500 month";"
Captain J. II. McMenomY, chairman of
the meeting, and s. S. Dewing opposed the
scheme and claimed that it would mean
confscation for the smaller property
owners. Those interested we're requested
to be present at the M citing of the Board
of Supervisors next Monday.

The star feature of the event, the $1,000

very pretty bit of horseracing. Coupled

Jockey Joe Piggott is capable of furnish
ing better exhibitions OF riding than he
has been doing OF late and it is high time
he discovered the fact. Gayety and over
confidence on his part lost the race to

run.
The brown horse was to choice in
the betting, but Piggott let Joe Terry, the

AS usual the concluding six-furlong spin
saw the favored ones in the betting en-
guIfed. Salisbury II was a warm 2 to L

Spray, Howard and Sir Richard had a
