The Most Successful Ladies
Day" Of the Meeting at
Ingleside.
THE sTARTING-GATE POPULAR.
Red Glen Beat Ed Kearney a Nose in
the Most Exciting Finish of
the Day.

Car after car rolled up to the entrance of
the Ingleside track yesterday loaded down
with passengers. The delightful weather
drew the fair sex out in vast numbers
The Australian starting machine was a
novelty. The poolrooms are on the brink
of starvation, and these two features
helped to swell the mum bers of the male
portion of the assemblage. The pro-
gramme was an excellent one, and alto
gether it was without question the most
successful of the ladies' days inaugurated
by the management of the new track. The
fair plungers in the grand stand INDUCED
in some fierce wagering, and the hapless
man that strolIed into the grand stand
without being the possessor of tip soon
found himself isolated.
The outsiders in the betting all received
more or less support, but the expected
long shot failed to materialize, favorites
and seconds and third choices having it
their own way.
There were two or three nasty spills in

ROWING OVER MORELL0,
An Attachment Suit Which
Caused Considerable
Trouble.
Ash and Chretien Say Perjury Has
Been Committed-A Mistaken
Writ.

The horse Morello has again, in fgura-
tive sense, appeared in court, and this
time with much more excitement than
before.
During the afternoon suit on promis-
sorry note made by Van Ness, who is being
sued for the horse, in favor of Louis LAM
mertz, who is suing for the horse. 1t is
for $500.
When the suit was filed an attachment
was asked for, and the object Of the at
tachment was the horse. The affidavit on
attachment was made upon blank from
the Justices courts; but this was passed
in the rush of business in the clerk Office,
and the writ of attachment was issued.
No sooner was the complaint filed than
Porter Ashe and John Chretien were out
in the County Clerks Office investi eating
and trying to have the writ set aside.
The note was made in Chicago and was
made payable in Chicago. but the affidavit
set forth that The obligation was contracted
and was due in this State. Samuel H.
Beckett, to whom the claim had been as
igned. was the affiant and plaintiff, and
Mr.. Chretien and Mr.. Ashe both agreed he
had committed perjury. They say the
County Clerk had no right to issue any
went before Judge Seawell to have him set
1t aside, but he would not do so until all
parties could be present.
During the morning Judge Seawell had
vacated the injunction which the suers for
the horse had secured and which prevented
the Sheriff of Sonoma County from turn
ing the horse over to Van Ness This was
done because the court deemed sufficient
the bond to which the plaintiffs in the suit
objected.
Porter Ashe objected to any delay, as he
feared the plaintiffs would secure writ of
review from the Supreme Court and so he
intended to go to Sonoma on the $40
train and secure the horse. In the mean
time, however, the attachment suit had
been commenced, and the horse could be
held under it long enough to allow of the
application for the writ OF review being
filed, and 20 tie up the horse for an in
definite time. j. ]. West, who filed the
suit for attachment, and who is an asso-
ciate of Abraham Ruef, counsel for those
who are suing for possession of the horse,
assured opposing counsel, however, that
the case was allowed to lapse until this
morning, when Judge Seawell will hear it.
1t is claimed by the plaintiffs in the suit
that Van Ness wishes to keep possession
of the horse until the breeding season is
over. This belief is strengthened by the
fact that Jack Reiss, Ed Corrigan's right
hand man, is putting up, through the
Pacific Surety Company, the $4,000 to Sc
cure the delivery of the horse should the
case go against Van Ness.
Ashe says he will have Beckett before
the Grand Jury for purjury, committed in
his affidavit on attachment.

the hurdle race, but the riders luckily es-
capped without serious injury.
The Australian startin g-gate was used to
dispatch two of the fields. The first at
tempt resulted in very pretty. start, but
at the second trial, in the last race,
Nephew managed to carry the webbing
away with him, not, however, spelling the
start, which was q good one. When the
Jockeys become more accustomed to the
new device there is no doubt of its success.
The opening mile dash, with seven
starters, saw Crafty go to the post hot
to 10 favorite. He ran in second posi-
ton until the stretch was reached, when
he drew away and won easily by three
lengths from Oakland. PecksniH once
more finished in the show.
The next event, q six-furlong spin, was
very lively and OPEN betting affair.
Hermanita finally closed slight favorite
over imp. Fullerton Lass, going to the
post 13 to 5. Audinlere and Myrtle II
made most of the running until nearing
the stretch. Monitor there took the lead
and in a drive beat the 80 to shot. Hunts
man, out half length. Poorly ridden by
Martin, the favorite was close third.
The third event on the card was also a
six-furlong run. The Corrigan entry,
Kowalsky, with Tod Sloan up, ruled to
favorlte, and, always out in 'front.' won
easily at the end by two lengths from
Pique Minnie Gee was good third.
There was the hottest kind of tip out
on the Corrigan jumper Contentment to
win the mile and quarter hurdle event,
and world of coin went into the books on
him at 2 to / and to 5. There were nine
starters in the affair and the field presented
very pretty sight. While making rapid
strides toward the front the first choice,
who was ridden by Andy Biakeley, fell TAX
ing the fourth jump. Arctic, who had
been in the lead from the Jump, won clev-
erly by head from Arundel. The winner
was as good as to in the betting.
A seven-furlong condition race allowed
Bellicoso to get in at ninety-seven pounds,
and the half brother to Crescendo was 8
warm l3 to 20 chance around post time.

selling platers. 1t was the swell betting
affair of the day. Bueno backed from threes

kearney at 3 a shade shorter than Red

When the gate sent the field away, Lumle
took Ed Kearney out in front ard 1t
looked as though he intended making q
runaway race of it. Coady on Red Glen
made his ride in the stretch, and in a
rafting drive beat Kearney out nose.

OF food and shelter, and the like. Still
others reported are found to be ground
less and to arise out of the fears or mis-
taken notions Of neighbors, or out OF
poverty the society cannot relieve.
Enough is given the society to do,
however, to stagger it. It was stated
last night that it must devise ways to
command means to meet the expenses
incurred in roofing out evil and saving
children from brutal men and women
and from the paths Of crime and shame
into which far more are being led than
the general public imagines.
1t has been suggested that life menu
berships be created, and people OF
means asked to subscribe for them to
enable the society to proceed with Its
work. 1t is to be said, for the credit
of the community, that the reports
made and the work of the society show
a great deal of kindly charity, q world
or human sympathy, any amount OF
kind-heartedness and self-sacri1ce
among our people, and plenty Of SYM
pathetic interest ia the rescue of chill
dren from misery and criminal and de-
basing surroundings.

are of such a shocking character that
they will be at once placed before the
Grand Jury, in the hope that correct

No Money With Which to Protect Chill

No One Able to Save

The Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children held its regular
monthly meeting last night at Superhh-
tendant Erlewine's office, President
Herrick In the chair. Despite the IN
clement weather there was a iaAr az
tendance. The interest taken IN the
society by its more active members
does not abate and well 1t may com
unue, when at each meeting from elsht
to fourteen cases are reported ior It's
action.
Some of the cases read out last nlght
when Officer Healy made his report are

the reader, as they reveal altogether too
much Of human depravity, and are TOO
shocking, even in reference, let alone
detail, and hence are unfit to be set out
in print. Other cases less difficult TO
describe are not, however. less piuful.
Even the members of the society VINO
felt that there was need for such an Or
ganization here are shocked at
the revelations made to them-and
especially so last night. Some
of these. it may be limited, relate
to the misconduct of mature men and
women with children that ought to have
. the attention of the Grand Jury and
the criminal courts.
Others are pitiful cases Of child deser-
ton and cruel treatment, deprivation
