the Crowd Hard.

The heavy fog that enveloped the course
and obscured view OF the horses lifted
after the first race at Ingleside had been
decided yesterday and the drilling rain
and stiff soueaster that followed consti-
tuted about the nastiest racing weather
experienced during the past wet season.
The downpour, however, was not suffi-
GENTLY severe to make the going heavy
and fair time was made in the different
events.
The card was good one and unmindful
of the dampness the regulars" were out
in full force to WITNESS the sport. The
racers from the stable of Edward Corrigan
were very much in evidence during the
afternoon, the Hawthorne magnate's
colors being seen in front at the wire on
four different occasions. Horses from the
string of Burns & Waterhouse carried off
the purses in the other two events decided
The two-year-old Roselle and the con-
sistent brown colt kowalsky were the only
two winning favorites. Eddie Jones and
Slaughter divided the jockey honors.
With but 80 pounds in the saddle the
chances OF Rosebud looked the most likely
of the five starters in the opening seven
furlong run, and the chestnut mare was
backed down from s TO 3 to IL to 10. She
was outfooted at the end by Olive, the Sec
Ond choice, packing the same weight, and
beaten cleverly at the wire by a length and

The win of Cadmus on Saturday was so
gratifying to Mr. Spreckels that the presi-

the regular fee. Galen is certainly deserv-

"In Iowa everybody is for him; that is,

the Democrats are, too, and he would poll
many vote outside of his party.
"We are in favor of Senator Allison be-
cause of his long experience, sound Re-
publicanism and general conservatism.
He would, in my judgment, be safe, pro-

the nomination: He is something of a

Governor Larabee was in California for a
short time four years ago. He will go
north by the Shasta route and then home
by the Canadian Pacific.
En- route he will stop briefly at Ashland,
Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Fairhaven,
Victoria and Vancouver. The gentleman
is of medium height, heavily built and
with strong features. His hair is almost

POOLROOMS STILL OPEN
The Recent Wallace Decision
Had but a Temporary
Effect.

missed, Although Flagrantly
Defying the Law.

Some OF the pOolrooms do not seem at
all abashed by the recent decision of Judge
Wallace and are selling pools at their old
stands as openly as ever.
AT the time that the case of Jerry Dris-
coll was in Judge Wallace's court c. J.
O'Donneil, Henry Schwartz, Harry Cor
bett, Charles Kingsley and about twenty
others were arrested for violating the Ell
lert ordinance. They all pleaded guilty
and their cases went over until the deci-
sion in the Driscoll case was rendered On
the understanding that if the conviction
was sustained they would close their
rooms and light fine would be imposed.
When the decision was handed down most
OF the poolroom men retired from busi-
ness and Henry Corbett Charles Kingsley,
Jerry Driscoll and others on April ap-
peared before Judge Joachimsen and
line of IS vas imposed upon them.
G. J. O'Donnell had two charges against
him and his cases were continued till April
10, as he had not gone out of the business,
although he was one of those who pleaded
guilty and undertook to close his rooms
if the Wallace decision was adverse to the
poolroom men.
On April 10 he was ordered to appear for
sentence next day, when, to the amaze
ment of the poolroom men, the cases
against " Donnell were dismissed. In
view of the fact that O'Donnell is and has
been conducting a pool business in his
rooms on Leidesdorff street. and thus
openly defying the law, the action of the
Judge in dismissing the cases against him
is peculiar and has caused good deal of
unfavorabl ble comment.
A few days ago Judge Low convicted
several poolrocm men, who had been
sending the money by the Postal Tele-
praph COmDauy To San lose in order m
evade liability under the ordinance but
they were only fined $50 each. The full
penalty will probably be inflicted, as a
light fine of $40 has been shown to have
no effect upon the poolroom men who per-
sist in violating the law.

GOT DRUNK TOGETHER
Keeper Bury of the Agnews Asylum
and an Inmate Have a Good Time
IN the City.

IN the City.
J. M. Bury, one of the keepers at the
Agnews Insane Asylum, came to the city
on Saturday night with Frank L. Fiffer,
one of the inmates. Fiffer had been al
lowed to pay a visit to his friends, who
live at Black Point.
About II 80 o'clock Saturday night Fiffer
was arrested IN saloon on Pacific street
by Policeman Cavanagh and Special Officer
M. Sullivan. He was very drunk, and his
face was bleeding from several cuts. Bury
was with him and accompanied him to the
California-street police station. He was
not sober, and his mouth was bleeding
When he said he was an official at the
insane asylum and that Fiffer was one of
the inmates the officers at the station did
not believe him, and threatened to lock
him up unless he left, which he did.
When Fiffer, who had been taken to the
City Prison, awoke Sunday morning he
complained that he had been robbed on
Saturday night of his watch and chain.
He said he and Bury had good time, and
the only thing he regretted was losing his
watch.
Sunday afternoon Bury called at the
City Prison, and Captain Lees gave him
permission to take Fiffer away with him,

Morrison I. Swift Of Berkeley lectured
to the local socialists Sunday night at 26
O'Farrell street.
He blamed the socialists ior the narrow
inefficiency of their past policy in abusing
those that have not seen the fairness and
broadness of socialism. He urged that no
party should be forced to assume the de-
fenslve because of attacks, but that social
lists should go to the different parties and
explain socialism to them and encourage
the thoughtful, who would of necessity be
convinced of the merits of the principles;
to unite in forming broad socialist party,
that, the lecturer predicts, will start with
the present socialists unattached to any
party, be strengthened by the soclalisti-
cally inclined of the Labor party and of
the Peoples party, and. after absorbing
the minor parties, be ready to include the
Republicans and Democrats. two politics
that he declares are doomed TO break, as
was the case in England, on the capital
and labor questions.
Socialism should not be a class move
ment and dissipate its strength It can
not be identified with any organization or

Creator daily bcstows upon us, and Tor
the great gift Of His Son, through whom
come all our spiritual blessings.
Under the second division of the theme
