Duke Stevens was left at the post.
Woodchopper was real live one yester-
day to all outward appearances, and stiff
play was made on him TO beat Toano IN
the seven-furlong dash that was fifth on
the card. That artistic knight of the pig
skin, J. Gardner, managed to have him
turned sideways when the barrier went
up, and he broke no bottles, although
heavily played at 2 10 1. Toano, the even
money choice, led throughout, passing
the judges two lengths in front of San
Marco. Lucille, the Spreckels entry, an
outsider in the betting, was fairly good
third.
Ed Corrigan's MoyIan appears to be an
uncertain quantity. He was an even
money choice for the final six-furlong
sprint, but the start didn't suit him and
he worked his way up from eighth posi-
ton in time to finish fourth. In drive
the to 1 outsider Sport McAIlister

with - to to show laid against him, fin

Divorce Proceedings Keep the Judges
of the Superior Court Busy.
The divorce suit OF Angelo Berretta
against Della Berretta was on trial behind
closed doors in Judge SeaweIl's court YES
terday. In these days it is unusual fo-
divorce cases to be contested, but in the
present instance the struggle is not over
the question of a separation but to decide
upon the division of about $50, 900 worth
of property.
Divorces have been granted by the
Superior Court as follows: Margarita
listed from William listed, for desertion
Mrs. Welthy A. Roster from Louis H.
Roster. for intidelity; Charles NJ. Barres
from Mary A. Barres, for desertion.
Divorce suits have been Med as follows:

Notes..

Just before the horses were called to the
post for the fifth race of the day, Willie
Martin was substituted for Macklin on the
back of Toano. Almost Immediately the
odds against the old gelding were rubbed
from twos down to eve money. He won
easily, and made quite material differ
ence in the winnings of two or three
books, so it is said.
After the change in jockeys on Toana,
the heavily played Woodchopper receded
in the betting, and many will always
wonder whether or not it had anything TO
do with his bad acting at the post.
The Tourist. fne-looking colt by the
dead Wildidle, showed improvement in
his running yesterday. If looks go for
anything he should certainly be heard of
in the future.
Al Shaw is riding in rare form, and any
OF the Eastern importations in the way of
riding talent have yet to show that they
outclass him in any respect. He hustled
Sport McAllister along, making that
horse think he was stake animal
Little Clawson shows no bad effects
from his hard fell off the back of Red
Glenn some days ago. He finished very
pretty ride astride the back OF Perseus,
and evidently has future before him.
Maynard and swift, the Jockeys who
took bad tumbles during the progress OF
the hurdle event, suffered no serious in.

United States District Judge Morrow rem
dered an opinion yesterday in the admiralty
case OF c. J. Jorgensen against Ellen NJ Weth-
erbee, the owner of the schooner Mary Gilbert.
In December. 1894, the vessel ran aground on
the beach near the mouth of the Alseya River
in Oregon and Mrs. Wetherbee made verbal
agreement 10 pay Jorgensen for repairing the
damages and bringing the sch boomer to san
Francisco. He old so but the owner refused 10
pay all that was demanded, claiming that the
charge was exorbltant. Jorgensen brought an
action TO recover 1875 40. A cross libel was
brought by Mrs. Wetherbee for damages sus-
tanned by reason of negligence of JoIgerson
in his work. Judge Morrow dismissed the
crosS-complaint and gave decree in favor OF
Jorgensen for 1913 rs and the cost Of the ac-
ton.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
a Delightful Entertainment Given In Be.
half OF Worthy Cause.

"A Delightful Entertainments Given in Be.
half OF 3 Worthy Cause.
Polk Miller. Leo Wheat and Rush
Miller, form one OF the most effective
combinations ever gotten together.
Their first performance last nights 81 the
Academy was one Of the most enjoyable
that has yet taken place there, each
number Of she varied programme being
rspturously eDcored.
Polk Miller's recitstions and songs
were all given IN pure negro dialect, Of
which no ia probably the best exponens
now before the public. His delivery in
recitation 10 unusually attractive, from
the fact that he possesses perfect repose
OF manner and rarely permits his voice
to get beyond monotone. His points
ore made quietly, but with telling eff
feot keeping his audience In roArs of
laughter.
The piano solos Of Lso Wheat were
principally of the popular order, but
sufficiently heavy to exhibit the won-
derful technique and high strung mu-
sical temperament, which makes pos
sible the superb heroic effects az we'll
IS the tenderly modulated harmonics
which he secures from this instrument.
Bis performance Of Gottschalk's ar
rangement of "Trovatore," and the
"Psderewski Mlnnet," were eminent
examples OF these characteristics.
Rush Miller WAS the surprise of the
evening. His superb banjo playing and
inimitable plantation songs formed one
of the most delightful features OF tho
entertainments.
The performance WAS given for the
benefit of the Confederate Veterans,
and deserved much larger audience
than shat which greeted them.
