side track an ideal one, not only for rae
ing but for beauty, and it is to-day not
only a perfect garden spot, shaded by
palms and outlined with shrubbery, but it
is beyond doubt the best winter track in
the world.
A picturesque driveway, bordered by
tall and pungent-smelling eucaly plus
trees, leads from the Ingleside Inn to the
grand stand and clubhouse, the latter a
structure after the old mission style, with
Venetian architectural effect.
The simple and powerful arcades of the
ground floor, with its arched openings
and ample abutments, are in measure
contrasted by the wide and spacious
porches and balconies of the first and sec
ond floors topped in belvedere fashion.
70 obtain a picturesque skyline the cen
trail portion of the building rises one story
higher above the belvederes of the east
and west porches aud is crowned by a
large projecting cornice. The Spanish
tile roof of this central feature adds to
the entire impression of simplicity. The
balconies OF the first floor and the large
arched opening of the second floor gives
the composition the Venetian effect and
makes the clubhouse a picturesque object
from any point of view.
The building is located 154 feet west of
the grand stand and is connected withoit
by a two-story colorado, which will be
continued west of the clubhouse to form
connection with the railroad station. The
building has frontage OF 95xe5 feet. Its

a spacious hall is located in the center
OF the second floor, and all rooms open
into same, with kitchen, serving-rooms,
servin stairs, ladies' waiting and toilet
rooms In connection.
Great pains have been taken to prepare
the plans of this clubhouse, in particular
the arrangement OF the rooms in regard
to the clubs needs, which have been most
carefully attended to. All the latest
ideas and Improvements will be applied
10 the structure. making the clubhouse
one of the finest in the country.
The grand stand betting-ring, paddock
and stables were modelled after the latest
design, and were built with q view of Sc
curing comfort, convenience and safety.
A perfect and unobstructed view of the
races can be had from any part of the
clubs buildings and GROUNDS.
The inside track has been specially pre-.
pared to accommodate those wishing to
view the races from tally-hos, carriages
and family vehicles.
OF the many approaches to the club s
grounds, one of the most popular is
through the world-famed Golden Gate
Park TO the beach, thence down the ocean
boulevard to romantic Ingleside. For
DcduI9B anu
pleasure this drive is unsurpassed III
America. The old Corbett and Aims
house roads have been thoroughly re-
paired and are now most enjoyable drive
wsVs.
During the racing season three regular
trains will be run daily from the Southern
Pacific depot at Third and Townsend
streets direct to the clubhouse and grand
stand, returning at intervals of ten
minutes after the last race. This is a
quick and comfortable ride and is very
desirable, especially during stormy
weather. The roadbed of the Mission
street electric car line has been thoroughly
ballasted, additional electric power added,
the transfer privileges extended, and dur
ing the afternoons of the racing season
through cars will be run direct TO the
track at intervals of only three minutes.
With three beautiful driyeways, three
regular steam trains and electricians run
ming every three minutes, no one should
find fault with the facilities for going to
and from Ingleside.
In establishing this magnificent race
course at Ingleside the Pacific Coast
Jockey Club has expended in the purchase
OF real estate, the erection of buildings,
improvements, wages, ETC., the sum of
$40, 375 So.
The grounds were first opened to the
public on November %, 1885, and during
the season or lSg5-96 the association gave
nlnety-six days racing. 1t paid in stakes
and purses to the horsemen 1851, 800 90,
making o total expenditure of $S02 181 So,
ell of which was disbursed within the
City and County of San Francisco.
This State and the horsemen of the
United States are indebted for this garden
spot racetrack to small coterie of men
who love good, square racing. They
organized the Pacific Coast Jockey Club
and with their private means they built
the track. The association is presided
over by A. B. Spreckels, and W. S. Leake,
ex-Postmaster of Sacramento, is secretary.

WILL BUILD INTO FRESNO
Construction Work on the Valley
Road Ordered to Be
Resumed.
The Line Will Now Be Rushed to That
Point-Passenger Business TO
Begin on the First.

Orders have been issued by Chief Engi-
neer Storey of the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley Railway Company to COM
plete the road into the city of Fresno.
Operations were stopped about half a
mile north of Fresno owing to the obstruc-
ZIONIST tactics of number of property
owners along the street through which the
line Is to be built. They claimed their
holdings would be damaged by the con-
tiguity of the railroad. Most of these
claims have now been adjusted. and but
three or four are in an unsettled condition.
But despite this it has been determined to
now complete the road into Fresno with
the utmost dispatch.
A large force will be put at work to-day
and grading and track-laying will proceed
almost simultaneously. About week will
be required to get things. into shape TO
begin business into Fresno.
At present the road is in operation only
as far as Patterson. about eighteen miles
north of Fresno. Freight will probably
begin to move into and out of Fresno by
the 18th inst and passenger traffic by the
LIST of October.

will be handed over to the directors by
the first of January, 1897.
The foundation is of concrete and the
structure will be of brick, with stone fac.
ings, and when finished will be an orna-

The entire property purchased for the
orphanage is 700 feet in frontage on Sew
enth avenue by 100 feet on Sacramento
street, It's feet of which will be covered by
the building. The remaining portion will
be beautifed and made into a pleasure
ground for the Inhabitants.
The Little jim" annex to the Chill

is nearing its completion and will have the

OLYMPIC DIRECTORS.
Installation of the New Board of OFF,
cers-s expenses Will Be Re-
duced.

The newly elected directors of the
Olympic Club were installed last evening
in the presence of about one hundred
members.
George E. Newhall. the president elect
said that he did not approve of the propo-
sition to assess the members so that the
club could have sufficient money on hand
to detray the expenses which will be at
tached 10 several contemplated improve
ments in the building which ars very
necessary.
Mr.. Newhall thought shat by reducing
the running expenses of the club sufficient
money will soon be on hand TO cover
whatever expenses may be incurred in
improving the bathing department, etc.
1t is thought that the salaries OF the
employees will be reduced and that the
services of the caretaker of the outdoor
grounds will be dispensed with.
Among others who spoke on the past
and future of the club we're F. Eaton, the
ex-president; IA. b. Russ, II. P. Taylor, G.
P Morse, f. McLennan and Joseph Kelly.
1t was stated that Frank Vail, who was
one of the newly elected officers, handed
in his resignation yesterday.
The directors appointed several COM
mittees last evening while in session.

structure of wood, plastered on the out
side on galvanized iron-wire laths to give
the building the finish of the old mission
architecture.
The ground fioo- has storerooms in the
rear and open arcades in font, forming
the passage from the railroad station to
the grand stand. The main entrance
steps TO the building are located on the
southeast corner and connected with the
portecochere, which is deliberately con-
structed with large columns and Spanish
tile roof. These steps lead to a fourteen
foot-wide roomy porch, which extends
along the entire south and east fronts,
giving magnificent view of the entire
track. This porch and the corresponding
one above on the second floor will not be
the least of the clubs attractions during
the racing season. The porch is easily
accessible from within by large double
swinging doors from the halls and lobby.
The general sitting-room has frontage
OF "a feet, facing the track, by 20 feet deep,

The Occidental and Armory Clubs Have
Made the Changes.
The Occidental Athletic Club managers
held conference yesterday with the man
ayers of the Armory Club, which resulted
in a change of the dates on which their
respective entertainments were to be held.
Young Mitchell, in behalf of the Occi-
dental Club, asked for the change owing
to the fact that Tom Tracey, who was
booked to fight George Green on the last
day of this month, is not feeling well, and
his medical adviser stated that Tracey
cannot possibly he in condition for q
hard contest with Green unless he has at
least three weeks in which to train prop
erly.
The result of the conference is that the
Occidental Club has postponed its enter
tainment until the evening of October g.

cuffs will take place about the middle oil
