ON lHE TRACK.
At Ingleside.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The Ingleside
track reopened to-day after two weeks
idleness, fully 1900 people being in at
tendance, the management having decided
upon Thursday as ladies' day. There were
many startling reversals in form, owing
to the change of track, outsiders captur-
ing every event but the last, which went
to Pepper who was backed for thous-
ands. This race was replete with acct
dents, two horses and two jockeys coming
to grief. Barney Schreiber's Jockey, c.
Slaughter, was one of the victims and J.
Mcintyre the other. Collins. upon whom
Slaughter had the mount, stumbled as the
horses entered the stretch. throwing his
rider against the fence. Belle of Stone
wall, who was behind Collins. stumbled
over the fallen horse and threw Mcintyre.
1t was developed that both boys were
very badly, but not dangerously, hurt.
and they were quickly removed to the
track hospital. Collins will doubtless have
to be shot, but the extent of his injuries
have not yet been learned.

works have become immortal, and

preserved and valued for it's intrinsic
merit. Genius and moral purity should
be inseparable, but, unfortunately, ii is
not so. AS rule, men of great ability
have claimed for themselves a license
denied to meaner mortals, and on the
whole IL has been regretfully conceded
to them. For just as we pardon the
private follies and wickedness of these
monarchs who have ruled well, so with
these, the true kings of men, mankind

sake OF their great public usefulness

practice and consent a distinction has
been preserved between the worker and

about s O'Clock last evening. The old
fellow was a familiar figure around
the Park street saloons up to a couple
of weeks ago. when he was sent out
to the poor farm on account of an at
tack of sickness. He came in from
that institution yesterday afternoon
and about 7:45 O'Clock last evening he
dropped into Jerry Murphy's saloon in
company with Peg Leg" the odd

the old fellow, land then I'll go home"
1t was the poor farm that Jensen
referred to when he said he would go
home but II was his eternal home that
he went to.
The two old characters had just
taken their drinks and were still
leaning up against the bar when Jen-
sen staggered back and fell to the
floor. Mr.. Murphy ran out from be-
hind the bar and picked him up. but
he fell down again a moment later. DIR.
Alvord was hastily summoned and he
pronounced the man dead. The doctor

him in a hack to the coroner's office.

frequently played old fashioned melo-

mile and half to a point almost
directly south Of Wildwood, whence the
cycle path proper follows a sinuous
path through the woods to Wildwood.
The route is quite scenic as well as ex-

grades are avoided by skirting the
bases of green clad hills, and ever and

a glimpse of the lake, its waters gleam-
