COMPARED TO LOTTERIES.
Rev. II. d. Bovard Scores Merchants,
Supervisors and Patrons of Race
Tracks

ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 25.-The Rev. #.
D. Boyard of the Park-street NJ. E. Church
introduced his sermon tonight with a
prelude on the "Shell Mound Race Track
and Our County Morals" He spoke in
part as follows:
1.-The arguments used by the representa-
tives of the Merchants Exchange of Oak
land in favor of the Shell Mound Race
Track are on the same moral plane with
those used by the Louisiana Lottery man.
agers-that it will bring money TO the
locality. II it is true that Oakland is
proud of the notoriety this will give her,
She is doubtless the only city in the Union
that would glory in such dearly purchased
fame; but 1 do not believe that the Mer-
chants Exchange has rightly reflected
the popular feeling of Oaklanl. nor have
the Supervisors in this matter considered
the best interests of this county.
There are two plain questions for the
Merchants Exchange and tae Super
visors to consider: First, Where will the
money come from to support this track +?
second, What will the California Jockey
Club give IN exchaug for it?n

NEWS OF THE TURF.
Weights and Entries for Handicaps
to Be Run in the Near
Future

It is more than likely that if the Califor-
MIA Jockey Club wishes to popularize its
Oakland track a cheaper rate of trans
portation will have to be furnished race
goers. At present if person wishes to
attend the races across the bay the round
trip costs him 81 80, which includes car
and ferry-boat fare and admission to the
track. As ticket can be secured at the
depot, Fourth and Townsend streets, for
81, which carries the bearer to and from
Ing eside, as we'll as emitting him to ad-
mission to the track, The race-going public
locked for the same rate to the Oaklanc
track. Hence the grum bling. There was
also considerable Kicking about the
delay in getting home from the track, but
as it was an opening day, and all seemed
anxious to get aboard the first train, this
annoyance could scarcely have been obvi-
ated.

weights for the starters in the seven- fur

There were evidences of great discour-
agement at silver headquarters yesterday.
AS the day of doom for Bryanism draws
near the Popocrats seem to read the hand
writing on the wall and their courage ia
waning. Even Judge Harris and Manager
Lawier now look woe-begone and hope-

a nameless terror, and all the Popocratic

PARK PANHANDLE.
The Hedges on the Nor and Sout
Sides Not to Be Disturbed.

The Hedges on the Nor and South
Sides Not to Be Disturbed.
"The resolution of the Board of Super
visors," said SUPERINTENDENT McLaren of
Golden Gate Park" will have no effect on
the hedges that have been planted and are
growing on the north and south sides of
the panhandle. The hedge on the south
side are on the line of the inner edge of
the sidewalk, while the one on the north
side is on what would be the outer edge of
the sidewalk, but it is all within the PARK
limits. On that side there is walk from
Baker to Stanyan street, and the territory
is under the control of the Com mmissioners.
consequently the appearance of the pam
handle will not be destroyed.
''There are some people who object TO
the hedge and want a stone wall substi-
tuted, but they do not probably consider
that it would take a whole years appro-
priation to construct such a wall The
hedges. in my opinion, serve the purpose
of keeping out the dogs and the stray cows,
and are much more picturesque than a
stone wall would be. Then, besides, it is
much cheaper

quirements of modern place of worship,
and contains comfortable apartments for
prosecuting the work of the societies allied

PREssFEEDERS' UNION.
Its New Rate of Wages Will Go INTO
Effect To-Day.

Its New Rate of Wages Will Go Into
Effect To-Day.
In the early part of this year the San
Francisco Feeders and Helpers Union
No. 20 of the international Freshmen s
Protective Union was organized, and from
that time to the present its members have
been quietly canvassiHg among the print
ing offices until now it has a mem bership
of 1O5. OF these twenty-five are girls.
While the union was small as to numbers
no efforts were made to regulate wages,
although that was one of the objects in
view when it was created. Now that the
body has some standing it has been de-
cided to look to the regulating Of rates.
At a special meeting held recently the
union established rate of wages to take
effect to-day. Cylinder pressmen will de-
mand So per week and $40 for platform
presses. No strike or trouble is antici-
pated, and it is believed that the employ
ers will agree to the rate.
The last trouble between employers and
pressmen was with The Schmidt LabelCom-
pany, which occurred October /, 1895. At
that time seventeen girls went out with
the rest. Pressmen's Union No. "a pro-
yid ed for the girls until August 20 last, by
which time the strike was virtually lost.
This union has decided TO give grand
ball and donate the proceeds to the idle
girl pressfeeders who stood out with them
in the long strike. The date OF the ball is
not vet set.

MckinIey.

Leon Dargin, big-hearted, good-na-

Inns, Downing & Co., New York, was
around town last night with Oscar Tolle,
the well-kown politician.
Where is this Bryan money!" Dargin
asked 81 thought there was some around
here, but can't find it."
Dargin, it appears from his statement
and that of Tolle, has already invested
$19 600 on McKinley's election as against
$1,000 on Bryan's.
81 have got $4,000 more to put out at
the same Odds" asserted the commercial
man.
Otherwise there is not much in the bet
ting line on election results.
Harry Corbett yesterday posted $500
against $500 on Mckinley and he is said
to hold $500 more of other peoples money
to wager against $3.50 that Bryan carries
this State.
Cohn Bayley of Jones and Market streets
will take the $500 end OF it against $4OO
that he is right in picking out Mckinley

University People Express Their

Offers.
Eight Young Women Now Being
Educated at Berkeley Through
Her Benevolence.

BERK ELEY, CAL, Oct. 25.-There was
great rejoicing to-day among university
people in Berkeley over the generous offer
of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst to erect two build
ings on the campus at a cost in the neigh
borhood of $500 000 and to defray the ex-
pens of SIS, 600 to be incurred in securing
permanent plans for the laying out of the
university grounds.
Too much could not be said in her
praise, because of the fact that the offer
comes at a time when buildings of the sort
she proposes TO erect are most needed.
Mrs. Hearst has been generous in the
past toward the university and twenty or
more young ladies have been educated
here through her benevoIence who would
not have otherwise been able to secure a
college course At the present time there
are eight young women students who are
receiving $500 a year each from Mrs.
Hearst.
