PEOPLE WANT THE FUN.
General Warfeld Declares That
the Carnival Meets With
Favor.
The Question of Queen or King to
Be Elected Is Agitating the
Committee.

General Warfield, president of the San
Francisco Carnival, says he is growing
more enthusiastic over the promised festi-
val. More than that, he has good reason
to be in such a frame of mind, for he ex-
plains: 1.-The people want the carnival.
"We are highly gratified over the man
ner in which it has been received by the
public" the general said, speaking for the
general committee. Every meeting brings
out sixty or seventy people. Last night
the room was crowded. From all sources
we are receiving encouragement. For my
own part 1 am convinced that the festival
will be great success.
1--WE will have three more committees
to give out to the press tomorrow. In
all so fer, we have decided on having
eighteen committees, each one to take
charge of feature of the festival, or a
distinct department of the arrangements
and management. Our scheme of organ
ization is of such a character that there
can be no manipulation of the funds.
For instance, the finance committee will
have to make a trial balance sheet daily,
and all collections and disbursements
must be presented to the general commit
tee. Then, too, the men who compose the
finance committee would not s.oop to
anything not strictly business and proper.
-Four different places OF amusement
have offered to give us the gross receipts
of one nights entertainment. This indi-
Gates the feeling toward the festival. We
can get $4,000, and once that sum is in the
treasury it will be easy 10 get $780, 900 more.
CAT last nights meeting we debated the
question of having a king and queen.
Some members thought we ought to have
voting contest. No doubt $4,000 to
$4,000 could be secured in 10-cent votes,
but the trouble is this plan might be OBJ
jectionable to the fashionable society SET.
This point is under consideration and the
committee would be glad to have sug-
gestions regarding it.
The festival is Just what our City needs.
Take man with a store. If he stops ad-
vertlsing his business it will go behind. 1t
is the same thing with city. If you stop
advertising a city it is sure to fall behind
like the individual"

quite up to the average. Friday, usually
considered an off day, saw very fair-sized
crowd in attendance. and the betting was
good. Of the six events run off the first
choices gathered in three.
Horses owned by A. B. Spreckels, presi-
dent of the Ingleside Association, dis
tinguished themselves by thrice proving
victorious in events in which they were
starters. All were piloted by Jockey Joe
Piggott, who appears to be again riding in
something like his old-time form.
The defeat OF Joe Terry, with H. Martin
in the saddle, was one of the hardest
knocks the talent received during the aft
ernoon's sport. The Burns & Waterhouse
entry was sent out a prime to choice for
the fourth event at six furlongs, backed
down from twos, and while MS rider was
enjoying a smoke the barrier few up in the
air and he was away from the post last.

With any sort of ride he could hardly
have lost. for he made great run, ending
upA close fourth. Walter j, the Second
choice, with 10 to about him, proved the
winner, taking the race in drive by
three parts of a length from Gold Bug,
with Tiberius q close third.
The win of the big chestnut colt, Rey
del Bandidos. proved a very costly one for
the Lone stable. A 2 to chance over the
ordinary lot opposed to him, he won as
he pleased and was bid up $500 over his
entered selling price OF 800 by Tom
Boyle, owner of Jack Richelieu, who fin
ished in the place: Show honors were
choice. Model and Nabopolasser finishing
heads on the wire in the order named.
The Spreckels entry, Laura Burt, opened
q 9 to choice for the maiden four and a
half furong scramble Tor two-year-olds,
but such strong play was made on Guam
| trell, cutting his odds from 4 to 2, that ne
| closed a slight favorite over the lilly. In
fam mator was well supported for show
honors. When the barrier flew in the air
Laura Burt was quickest TO get away, and
| leading throughout won easily by three
| lengths in :55sl Quantrel took the place
handily from Lady Hurst
Eight ordinary platers started in the
third event, six turlong selling run.
Lucille the Spreckels entry, had first call

| backed from fours to IL TO almost as
heavily a backed second choice. The
favorite, away third, jumped into the lead
almost Immediately, and although hard
pressed in the stretch by Tennessee Maid
won at the end cleverly by length in
1:16L. Alahabad finished in the show,
| four lengths behind the Maid.
The second two-year-olo event was also
taken bv the second choice. Scarborough
opened in the betting at to 5, but from
the force of heavy play on Horatio, the
second choice, receded to to 5. Just
before post call, though, the coin went in
on the iirst choice, cutting his price to the
opening quotation again. Scarborough
was successful in getting away in the lead,
but was passed by Horatio before thirty
yards had been covered, and, ridden out,
the Bohemian stables representative beat
the favorite out a length, covering the four
furlongs in :4916.
The final race, a five and half furlong
sprint, was notable as being the third
occasion during the day that the red,
white and blue colors of the Jockey Clubs
president had flashed past the wire in
front. Sent into the starters hands 8 to
choice over the other twelve starters, Car
nation challenged the Burns & Water
house entry, Montgomery, in the stretch,
and in drive to the stand earned the
verdict by a head. B. G. Hollys entry,
Montallade, well to the fore throughout
the running, was a good third.
