PROF. HINRICHS' RETURN
He Comes to Conduct a Season
of Grand Opera at the
Tivoli.
His Views on Some Modern Com

Streets.

Gustav Hinrichs, the well-known ope-
ratio conductor, arrived here yesterday
evening to begin the rehearsal for his sea-
son of grand opera at the Tivoli.
at is ten years since Twas in San Fran
cisco professionally. That was with Theo-
dore Thomas of the American Opera Com
pany," said Mr.. Hinrichs, when asked
about his recent movements. Although
he has been so prominently connected with
music in Philadelphia for the last decade,
Gustav Hinrichs has never ceased to look
upon San Francisco as his home.
His family have continued to reside at
his house in the 21O0 block on Pine street,
and whenever he has been able TO steal a
month OF two from his Eastern engage
ments, he has come to this city. 1t was
here that he composed his opera Anti
Ora" for which Mrs. Toland made the
libretto, though the work was produced
in Philadelphia, where it proved ccm-
plete success.
Speaking of his earlier days in San
Francisco, Gustav Hinrichs said: 1T
was here that first conducted at the old

tain View

Yesterday morning the special excur-
sion train leaving Fourth and Townsend
streets for the purpose of conveying the
e1cursionists to the public offering of the
Martin Murphy estate at Mountain View
consisted of seven coaches, with about ATS

the ground.
The sale was commenced promptly at
O'Clock, and all the property was disposed
OF, except five lots, with a total sale of

proved land ranged from $120 to $500 an
acre, and the improved land in one and
two year old orchards of apricots, prunes
and peaches, from $155 to $240 an acre.

Anti Suffrage Club.

Ten ladies and two gentlemen were
present at the anti-suffrage meeting, held
under the auspices of Mrs. Carrie Murray,
yesterday afternoon n the Mills building.
Mrs. Murray made an opening address,
saying that to give women the ballot
would make them equal to men and de-
stroy the home. T. Case said he thought
it was the proper thing to recognize
woman right to labor, but he did not be-
lieve in giving her the ballot.
In intellect woman was mans equal, but
physically she was not strong enough to
stump the State.
Appreciation was expressed for this
speech by several of the ladies present,
though strange to say, it was afterward
resolved to appoint two lady orators to
stump the State, in order to found anti.
suffrage clubs. The selection of these
speakers was left to the president, and the
meeting adjourned, to assemble again at
her call.

Parsimony in Policy Scored and
Liberality to the Needy
Advocated.
OPPOSITION IN THE ELECTION
The Younger Members Determined to
Stir Up the Society and Make
It a Center of Life.

The Society of California Pioneers will
hold its annual election on the 9TH prox.,
and already there are unmistakable indi-
cations of lively if brief campaign.
The present regime will apply prac-
tically for reelection, but will be met by
an opposition ticket. The latter will bear
the names and Endorsements of what is
known as the "young, progressive ele-
ment." This element has declared itself
in printed circular which Will be issued
shortly under the auspices of a nominating
committee of the opposition stalwarts.
The circular reads:
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27, 1896
To the Members Of the Society Of California
PiOn6erS-FELLow-MENlBE Our society, SO
muniicently endowed, seems to have struck
a "dry rot" The policy of the majority
of the present board OF directors is re-
sponsible for the state of affairs. In
stead, therefore, of permitting them to per-
petuate themselves i'll office, we believe it IS
high time the society should elect a board
more i'll sympathy with their own views, and
one that will not ignore their wishes when ex-
pressed at the monthly meetings.
We believe that the system of hereditary
office-holding under the parentage and patron
age of board of directors who undertake TO
decree from year TO year who shall be the
president and who shall be the other officers OF
the society is an insult to the intelligence of
every old pioneer possessed OF a modicum OF
intelligence and self-respect; that it should
emphatic condemnation will for years to
come set the seal OF condemnation upon this
au1ocratic mode OF procedure.
We believe that 1t is time for the society as
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-28

thought has been given to the athletic
rooms. They will be equipped probably
as finely as any in the world. In fact, the
st. George Club aspires, and with good
ground, to be the Manhattan Athletic Club
of San Francisco.
The building will be two stories in
height, facing on Mason street, and will
contain many commodious rooms besides
the large hall Tor athletic exhibitions.
This hall will contain every instrument
for athletic recreation and education that
the mind of a muscle-making, sport-loving
man could conceive or devise. AS the pro-
posed additions will cost large amount
of money the members appeal to all Brit
ishers to assist them in establishing the
recognized British headquarters of the
State.
The completed list of officers of the club
reads now as follows:
Percy Beamish, William Doxey, F. d. Brandon
w. ]. Field, Colonel A. Andrews, Charles
Lyons, vice-presidents; n. w. Bolton, honor
ary chaplain; Edward oliver, secretary; Frank
Winterburn, treasurer; w. G. Pope, sergeant-at-
arms; executive committee-A. II. Rae Brown,
F. S. Kemp, A. H. Turnbull boxing instructor,
Jimmie Carroll; wrestling instructor, Joe Ac-
ton; musical director, Alfred Wilkie.
The fencing g-master has not yet been de-
cided upon, but will probably be Captain
Martin, late fencing-master of the Olym-
pic Club.
The st. George Club has grown out of
the old organization, the Sons of st.
George. This drew the lines of member
ship strictly to "Englishmen, sons of
Englishmen or grandsons of Englishmen,
wherever born" but the present club has
taken down this barrier and considers
eligible to membership any gentlemen,
whether he be British or American.
The club now has on the roll more than
300 members. 1t desires to emphasize the
fact that it is not purely pugilistlc club,
but one intended solely for the physical
development of its mem bers.
There will be only occasional athletic
exhibitions. The first of these is match
between Jimmy Carroll, the boxing in
structor of the club, and James McAuliffe
The time of this match will be somewhere
about July 81. A dispatch has been sent
to McAuliffe and the club is awaiting a
reply.
The st. George Club is affiliated with
clubs of like name in England, Africa,
Australia and in all the different States of
the Union.

sary as a conductor next month, and in
reply to remark that he did not look like

laughingly, II was 20 years old at the
time, and in the daylight look my 40

For the last ten years Gustav Hinrichs
has conducted a season of grand opera
every year in Philadelphia. He is very
enthusiastic about the season just ended.
Financially iC was not success; all
over the East the season was a disastrous
Ole, as the failure of Abbey and Grau
shows. We had $4,000 guarantee fund
to start with, and were able to engage good
artists. l went to Paris and brought five
artists from the Grand Opera-house, as
we'll as Nine. Emma Nevada, and she is
charming singer, host in herself.
Among the operas new to Philadelphia
that we gave were Ernest Reyer's
'Sigurd, a magnificent work, and the
German version of 'Hansel and Gretel.'
The latter is very pretty and took splen-
didly."
Speaking of new operas and composers,
Gustav Hinrichs expressed the most in
tense admiration for Puccini's "Manon
Lescaut,' a work to which he gave the
first American production. Compared

champagne compared to a glass of soda
water. Puccini is the most modern and the
most talented of all the young Italian
composers, and l consider that he has
great future before him." That Mr.. Hin
richs knows a good deal about modern
Italian composers is proved by the fact
that he was the musician who first intro
duced to America "Cavaileria Rusticana, ;"
'L' AMIGO Fritz and az Pagliacci.
The conductor was utterly astonished to
find the San Francisco streets in darkness.
~ did not know what to make of it when
we got out of the business streets and
found no street-lamps," he said. ''I re-
member we had one experience of the sort
years ago, under Denis Kearney, but in
'96 it is incredible that such a thing should
be tolerated. believe this is the only city
on earth that is in such a condition"
A number of the members of the new
troupe arrived from the East with Mr..
Hinrichs.

1t realizes that it traverses section of country
which is unrivaed for beauty of scenery and
unexcelled for climate. 1t believes in busi-
ness policy of making people acquainted with
the country through which it runs, and ac-
cords very low rates in order that they may
do So
This year they will sell from July to 8, in
elusive, round-trip tickets to Ukiah, it's
terminus, with return limit July g. at only S.
for the round trip. This gives an idea of the
low basis OF rates established for the Fourth of
July holidays to all other points of its line.
On July and 3 you can buy tickets to all
points above San Rafael at one single fare for
the round trip, good to return on either of
those days and also on July q.
There are some people who can get away
only at this time to visit the resorts of Sonoma,
Mendocino and Lake counties, and in order
that all may embrace the opportunity greatly
reduced rates are offered. The tickets will be
on sale for the resorts from July to 4, in
elusive with return limit July 49,
great many of our people who take their
two weeks vacation about the 4th of July

advantage of this opportunity to have pleas

HORSE-SENSE IN
JUDICIAL DOUBT.
How Mr.. Dominick Roberts
Steed Lost His
Mind.
FRACTURED HIS SKULL.
Collided With a Wooden Stool
on the Market.Street
Railway.
NOW A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES.
Railroad Company Sued-Experts May
Be Called on the Horses Men,
tai Condition.

Dominick Roberts had a horse, large
horse, good horse. One day while Rob-
erts was driving along Ninth street, COM
ing into Market the horse colIided with a
wooden stool. The horse did not see the
wooden stool, but as proof that human in
telligence far surpasses brute instinct, it
may be said that the street-railroad man
stationed by the railway company for
duty. at that point never loses sight of the
stool.
Anyhow, Roberts horse stu m bled over
the stool, and falling hit his head hard.
Roberts, in suit which he has brought
in the Justices Court to recover damages
from the Market street Railway Compan
AYERS that the horse has lost his mind1in
consequence of the accident and is no
longer of any value or use. Therefore, he
wants the company to pay the value of the
horse-that is to say, the value when the
horse was rational and sound MINDED.
This suit is one that cannot be decided
in an off-hand manner. 1t will be the
duty of the court, perhaps, to call for ex-
pert testimony on the subject of equine
sanity. 1t is just possible that a horse,
like human being, may be sane on null
tiplicity of topics and hopelessly off on
some single subject.
At the st. Lawrence stable the horse
people admit that the trial must present
some new and profoundly interesting ques-
tlons on "equine Jurisprudence, or at
least when that language was used to the
boss stableman he did not dissent.
Another horseman present said he knew
that horses went crazy from eating rattle
weed and that during one year five horses
killed themselves by jumping over preci-
plce near Livermore. 1t was supposed by
the men at the st. Lawrence that both
sides would call veterinary surgeons on
the questions of the horses mental condi-
ton before and after the fall.
Barry Coleman of the United Carriage
Company was of the opinion that, if the
expert testimony should prove that the
horse was crazy, then it would be proved
that the horse had mind, and having a
mind it would follow in the natural order
of existence that the horse had soul.
DR.. Chismure was sure that horse had
a mind, something superior to instinct,
and cited as proof the intelligence OF
trained horses. Instinct was not devel-
oped by training, but mental powers were.
Mr.. Coleman cited many instances of
horses getting ratified from eating rat
tleweed, and remarked that he never
heard OF that weed in Kentucky and Mis-
souri,. He thought 1t possible that
horses brain could be injured so that the
animal would be worthless for general
work. One of the carriage company's
horses broke away once and ran his head
against spike in telegraph pole. The
horse lived year, but Mr.. Coleman did
not sue the Western Union Telegraph
Company for damages.
The case will surely call many expert
horsemen to the court, for it is admitted
by all of them that the question presente
is new.
