FOUR PERMITS GRANTED
Boxing Exhibitions to Be Given by the
Olympic and Occidental Clubs

The Health and Police Committee of
the Board of Supervisors heard the argu-
ments of several organizations desiring
permits for boxing entertainments yester-
day, and granted a number, refusing
others.
The Olympic Club was given permits for
two dates, the first to be the 31st inst,
when three eignt-round goes are to be de-
cided. The second will take place at the
Pavilion on date not yet settled.
When the application of the Occidental
Club came up for two permits-one in Au-
gust ana another in eptember-Super-
visor Dimond opposed them vigorously,
saying that the Smith Gallagher exhibit
ton given under the auspices of the club
was disgrace, and that the organization
should not be allowed a chance to re-
peat it.
The other members thought that the
club, particularly as it guaranteed $270 to
charity, should be given chance, and
overruled Mr.. Dimond. The application
of the Phoenix Club was denied.
Supervisor Taylor's ordinance closing
all saloons at II O'Clock at night went over
for two weeks.

Bob Macarthur, the clever amateur, is off
for the present. Green did not care to box
Macarthur for small purse and refused
the offer. The Olympic Club will try to

George and Bob for the open entertain

In the last Gloucestershire-S Somerset
match Champion w. G.. Grace made IS6 in
the first inning. The same day, in the
Oxford vs.. Cam bridge event, his son, w.
G. Jr., achieved pair of spectaeles. In
this match, by the way, considerably ad-
verse comment was raised by the queer
generalship of the Cambridge captain,
Frank Michel, in ordering his bowlers at
a critical stage of the game to send down
no balls, in order to increase the Oxford
score beyond the 'follow on point.
Such tactics would not be tolerated in
California.

be REIN bursed for the loss of the powder,
claim which the railway company re-
fused to admit. owing to a provision in the
shipping contract exempting it from liza
bility for damage by fire from any cause
whatsoever" This view was sustained by
the inferior tribunal. as was also the au-

held that the powder company could not
recover the value of the powder, and this
ruling the Supreme Court has confirmed.

CONFERENCE.

Dsg OF Their Cows by Health
Auth critics.
The Board of Health received a letter
from the Milkmen's Association yesterday
asking that special meeting of the board
be called for the purpose of conference
with the milkmen. Since the result OF the
test of the COWS at the Swiss Alpine dairy
was made public CONSERVATION has reigned
among the ranchers.
Should the Baumann Brothers lose
thirty out OF their herd of fifty-eight COWS
it means bankruptcy to them, and many
others feel that their fate may be similar
unless some provision is made for remu-
nerating them for the cows killed. 1t is
with this idea in view that they de-
sire meeting with the health authorities.
The matter will not end here, however.
for the dairymen have determined on an
appeal to the next Legislature for relief
and pay for the cows that are killed, and
the National legislators may even be
asked to pass laws for the relief of those
who suffer loss through the tests OF health
authorities,

Wells, Fargo & Co. Asking for {
Reduction On the Valuation
of Their Property.

The Board of Supervisors sitting as the
Board OF Equalization determined yester-
day to finish up its business and report to
the State board on Monday.
Mr.. Benjamin made motion for an
extension of ten days, but afterward with
drew it.
The business before the board was
greatly reduced by the statementsmade by
Deputy Assessor Briggs that the assess
ment on nearly all the lands south of the
park was excessive. The valuation, he
said, had been based on sales made several
years ago. There have been no sales
lately and nothing to base the valuation
upon, and in the hurry of the early part of
the year to fix the valuation ana to get
ready for the levy the valuation had been
fixed as stated. He thought it an error of
Judgment that sh ould be corrected.
Mayor Sutro was present, and before the
Deputy Assessor mad been heard from
M ade statement to the effect that the
va lua ton was excessive and thought cut
of so per cent was about right.
The board reduced the assessment 80 per
cent. a great many applications had
been filed for reductions from this district
and this general cut shortens up the bust
ness considerably. A reduction had been
made for a large part of the district and
the Deputy Assessors suggestion applies
to property lying west of First and Forty
ninth avenues and between N and w
streets.

Eolo has been purchased by Mr.. A. B.
Speckels and will take his place in the
harem at the millionaire turfman's stock
farm at Napa in the near future. Colo,
son of Eolus and War Song foaled in
1885, is described as a handsome chestnut
horse Standing nearly seventeen hands
high, resembling in this respect his full
brothers st. Saviour, Eole ana Eon. James
+. Caldwell, the possessor of the horse up
to the present transaction, thinks him
destined to be one of the leading sires of
the country. Outside of Morello be is the
only bennington horse on the coast and
is certainly great addition to the horse
industry of California.
Coupon, the winner of yesterdays two
year-old event, is a most racy-looking in
dlvlduaI. He was purchased by Walter
Hobart at the recent sale of yearlings of
the Antrim stock farm. His sire. Marten-
hurst (now deadl, was imported to this
country from England in 1898 by the late
Simeon G. Reed who paid $4,000 for the
son of Wenlock. Captain Thomas Merry
of this City advised his purchase, and
there lies little doubt that had he lived he
would have made great name in the
stud. He finished third in the Derby of
1891 won by Common.
Riley Grammar was said to have bet
$4,000 on imp. Star Ruby. Green B. Morris,
IN whose name the horse runs, was consid-
erably incensed at the judges ruling. Tut
all fair-minded horsemen considered it
Just one. The distance is about furlong
too far for the English horse.

thought he got the worst of the fouling,

been trailing behind, now loomed up a
dangerous factor, for coming fast on the
outside he was Tapped on the second
horse. Below the furIong pole from home
Star Ruby began firing badly and Doggett
was seen to be hard at Work on MIN.
Logan, who was between the leader and
Semper Lex, was bumped, but to all
appearances was beaten when the JOS
rling occurred. Nearly opposite the sad
ding paddock, as Semper Lex was closing
on the favorite at every Jump, the latter
swerved over and Chorn was Obliged to
pull his mount up. Once more stralght-
ened out, Star Ruby again bumped Sem
per Lex, affecting his stride, and In
drive succeeded in winning by head.
Logan was third, couple OF lengths
away.
Chorn, who rode Semper Lex, claimed a
foul Doggett who rode the winner, fIu-
mitted interfering with Semper Lex, but
said his mount was tiring badly and that
it was unintentionaL A large crowd had
gathered around the judges stand sh out
ing foul and, after sitting the matter
thoroughly, the judges r1ghtfulIy gave the
race to Semper Lex, who was uBdoubEedly
the best horse in the race and fully Titled
to the purse.
Artlst was heavily backed at to and
evens to win the opening seven and hall
furlonz run, but after leading into the
stretch, with a comfortable lead of two
lengths, was beaten QUE handily by For
tuna at d AMI to l in the betting.
Foremost carried the red, white and
blue colors of the president of the new
Jockey club to the front in the mile and a
half selling event, going out to choice.
Monita cut out the running for something
over mile when Piggott on the favorite
assumed command and won cIeverly by
two lengths from the second choice, Julia
O. The distance WAS covered in 2:43H.
Nine youngsters appeared from the
"kindergarten" to engage in the first two
year-old contest of the year over three
furIongs. The Lone stables pair, Rey de-
TERRA and Modestia, as the case in
former instances were just behind first
money at the opening essay.
IsoIa showed first into the stretoh with
Rey del TERRA at his head. The latter
soon had the lead and looked winner
until the last 100 yards, when Doggett
came with a rush on Coupon and won
handily by a length in the good time of
3712 seconds. Mary K finished third.
The winner was 5 to in the betting.
A six-furlong selling dash concluded the
days racing Eleven faced the flag with
Lizzie H ruling to l favorite. Both
Heartsease and Pearson headed the first
choice to the stretch, when she came on
and won handily by length. Pearson was
second, six lengths before Heartsease.

He Backed Imp. Star RUBY
Heavily and the Horse
Was Disqualified.
LADIES DAY AT INGLESIDE
Millionaire Walter Hobart'S Coupon
Took the First Two-Year.0
Race of the Year.

The fates seem to be against Plunger
Riley Grammar. He has backed in
Vulnerable horses since his advent in
California last fall. Some were cut off,
others "ought to aave won" and few did
win. But if the young plunger were to
balance his cash there would be found a
big deficiency. Yet, in the face OF all of
these reversals, where one of a less deter
mined nature would have cried enough,
the young Kentuckian has plodded on
without grum bling, waiting for the turn
ing of the tide. Yesterday he backed imp
Star Ruby for thousands in the handicap,
and after winning the horse was disquali-
fed. Riley was disheartened, as we'll as
very wrathy, and was heard TO remark
that he would never make another bet on
the track, but it is more than probable
that he had bet down on the next race,
for he is dead game sport, whose anger is
not as strong as his judgment is good.
1t was ladies' day at lngleside, but the
nastv condition OF the weather drew but q
sparsely filled grand stand. In the bet
ting ring, though, the crowd was large as
usual.
There were five events on the card, and
the first choices succeeded in capturing
but two of them.
The mile and furlOng handicap, that
raised considerable discussion on account
of the disqualifying of imp. Star Ruby,
was fourth on the card. There were but
five starters, with the imported horse an
IL 10 10 favorite at post time, backed down
from TO 2. Logan, with twos about him,
was second choice, and Semper Lex a
lightly backed third choice. Sir Walter
and Wawona were the other starters.
The favorite took the lead after passing
the stand and set a hot pace. Apparently
full of run. he led into the stretch by
length, with Logan, hard ridden, at his
heels. Semper Lex, on which Chorn had
