THE BIG CIRCUIT RACES
ROBERT y. BREAKS 4 PREVIOUS
 RECORD AT FORT WAYNE.

Lively Clip in Stiff Wind-Dan T. Takes
 the Unfinished 2:1S Paoe-Close of the
 August Meeting at Mystic Park-The
 Race To-day.
 Fort Wayne Aug. 14.-Fine weather and an attractive program drew the largest attendance of the meeting to the big circuit races to-day Five thousand were present The tempera- ture was high until o'clock, when a cold wave swept suddenly from the northeast, chilling the crowd and the horses and having a marked effect on speed The track was in superb condi- tion and the time was fast in all the races.
 The paramount attraction was Rob- ert J., the pacing king, who was sent to beat the track record of 2:03A, made by himself August 31, 1894, when he first put the mark for harness speed below 2:04.
 At o'clock the great pacer was started, with Ed Geers up. Paced by a thoroughbred, the son of Hartford was given the word and left the wire at pretty clip, keeping his stride all the way round and finishing in 2:O3. Time for the quarters was: S11a, TOP, 1;S2 2:03.
 | It was a great exhibition of speed, in view of the sudden drop of the temper ature and stiff wind which swept over I the course.
 | In the 2:14 pace, unfinished from yes terday, Dan T. took the final heat cas- fly, winning the race and maintaining unbroken his seasons record of having lost not single heat
 Helen K. the favorite in the 2:23 trot, | gave her admirers little show for their money. Nancy L. took the first heat ] in a drive with West Wilkes, when the latter went in and went up in straight | heats. The third heat was the finest contest of the season. The field was punched from the start and was never scattered.
 l Sphinxetta maintained her suprema- 1 cy in the PIP pace and won in straight heats. Heir-at-Law was the only oth- CT factor, and he drove Sphinxetta out I to her record in the first heat and push I ed her three quarters of second better than that in the second heat, which was finished in 2:0S4a in furious l drive
 In the 2:15 trot Emma Offut was com pelled to lower her hitherto invincible colors to Franklin. The victorious bay ] landed the race in three heats, New castle giving him stiff argument in the last heat,
 Bright Light, the favorite in the 2;ls I pace, took the first heat The second heat brought Billy Waters in the front | from obscurity and he travelled the mile in 2.10 with Bright Light to drive him out Frank Bogash then took the race in the three succeeding heats.
 Alamito sold favorite in the 2:l2 trot, but Don l.. took the first heat without l trouble. Piletta came out in the sec ond heat, and after that was never headed winning as she pleased. Don l.. was exhausted in the last heat and was distanced.

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 8. Much has

president of the union has furnished the
following statement for publication:
In the first place, the president was not
charged with various cues tonable practices

vanced diplomat or as a novice, and
neither his friends nor his foes have been
able to decide which. The trouble occurred
at the time s. G. Hilborn was making his
campaign for Congress. at q meeting
held in this city Meutalen, as chairman of
the County Committee, appointed Stephen
T. Gage as chairman. AS Cages relations
with the railroad company were so well
known many considered that Mautalen
had chosen him for the purpose of ena bling
hilborn's enemies to circulate the cry of
railroad influence being used in his behalf
and thus help Warren B. English.
Others concluded that it was scheme to
help Hilborn and that that candidates re-
fCsal TO go upon the platform at the meet
ing made him hundreds of votes. No sat-
isfactory decision of the merits of the sem
sation was ever arrived at, but there has
been since the last election a split in the
committee. After the election the COM
mittee met and passed some very strong
resolutions which were never made public.
At this time the fight is over the chair
man, and Mautalen and Evans are the
rivals. The Evans faction assert that
Mautalen that he would resign on account
of i'll health and that they believed him.
Mautalen denies that there is any truth in
the story and that he will not resign.
The Evans wing is known as the reor-
ganlzatlon party, and claims that Maui
talen is the remaining legacy of the
Vroomsn regime, and must go. There are
also some smaller elements figuring in the
unpleasantness, but these are all subor-
dinate to the main fight.
AS things appear at present the commit
tee will be deadlock if all turn up at the
meeting. Mautalen claims a majority with
his own vote, and depends upon Walsh.
Bernal, Church, Riley, Striker and pos
sibly Ford. Evans claims Mitchell, who
wants to be a Supervisor; Mcpherson,
Armstrong, Fletter and HAYES. Church
is sick and will probably not be at the
meeting, so the vote to determine the re-
organization plan appears to be even.
Each side is trying to capture an extra
vote, but the greatest display of confidence
is being made by the Mautalen party.

ABDUCTION CHARGED.
Eugene +. Bearns Arrested on a Warrant
From DeIano, Kern County.

Eugene +. Bearns Arrested on Warrant
From DeIano, Kern County.
Eugene +. Bearns, alias De Beers, was
arrested yesterday by Policeman c. NJ.
Barnes, on a warrant from Kern County
charging him with abduction. He will be
detained at the City Prison till an officer
arrives from Kern County.
The complaining witness IS Thomas
Cole of Delano, Kern County. Several
weeks ago Bearns eloped with Coles
daughter, Matte, and the two came to this
City. Bearns had been working on a
ranch near Delano for some months where
Matte was cook, and an acquaintance was
formed, ending in their fight to this City.
Mattie's father wrote to Chief Crowley,
asking the Chief TO find his daughter, and
Detective Anthony and Policeman Barnes
located them in lodging-house on Mar
ket street. They were detained II the City
Prison for two or three days, when Matte
was taken back to Delano by her former
employer and Bearns was released from
custody, IS no one would prosecute him.
About two weeks ago the warrant for his
arrest on the charge of abduction, was re-
ceived at police headquarters and Barnes
has been hunting for him since. Bearns
is well known on the water front, as he
worked for three or four years on the
Stockton boats
At the time of the elopement the citizens
of Delano vowed that if ever Bearns re-
turned there they would lynch him, and
he may anticipate warm reception.

stand against the measure. His views
were concurred in by Regent Houghton of
the building and grounds committee, Re-
gent Martin, chairman of thai committee,
standing on neutral ground.
AS a substitute to the driveway it was
proposed that a broad footwalk be con-
structed over about the same territory as
that planned for the driveway.
Professor Hilgard, through whose plan
tation the driveway would pass, gave as
his reasons for opposing the measure that
the driveway would be little used by vehi-
Giles excepting those of butchers and
bakers, on account of its location with re-
spect to Oakland and the populated por-
ton of Berkeley; that the historic oak
trees would necessarily have to be inter
fered with; that there would have to be
another entrance made from University
avenue as soon as the streetcar line from
the proposed West Berkeley Ferry was
put in; that the agricultural experimental
gardens would be again disturbed and
much cut up, and that he believed drive
way and walk for pedestrians through a
place such as the university grounds
should not be, both on account of the dust
and the liability of accidents.
Gas for my gardens" said he, "they are
of the least consideration. If I felt that
the drive would be for a lasting good
| would accede to the plan and dig up my
plants"
The matter will be brought up for final
settlement at the meeting of the board
Tuesday.
After considering some of the plans for
laying out walks and drives near the main
buildings, the party went to the site of the
proposed reservoir about 800 yards to the
rear of the chemistry building on the
creek. A dam will be built across the
creek, and the water backed up. It is
