MONEY IN GaEYHOUHDS,
Demands on the Manager Of
1ngleside Courslng
Park.
The Leashmen'S Cry for More Stake
Money AMI the JUICE Wants
Better Pay.

War has been declared by the followers
o: the leash against how coursing affairs
are managed at Ingleside.
Ever since the demise OF Jack Dalton, a
sportsman who was exceedingly popular
with the patrons OF coursing, there mas
been trouble brewing among the owners
! OF greyhounds.
1t appears that the present director
general of the park is too exactiag regard
ing the giving of prizes and the coursing
men who run their dogs at Ingleside have
intimated to him from time TO time that
unless he open his purse string and offer
more liberal inducements several of The
test running oogs in this City would be
given a rest.
Mr.. Donovan, who is director genel al
or chief comm Inder OF the park, turned a
oeaf ear to all complaints and sugges-
/ tions.
Last Saturday a deputation of coursing
men waited upon the uirector-gensral and
! informed him that IS cOursing had grown
! TO be very popular sport, and as he
/ Donovan) was coming" money some
! thing must be done in a monetary way to
assist the men who were aiding very ma
/ terial!y 10 build up a nice fortune for
/ him.
/ Mr.. Donovan argued the point at
! length and endeavored 10 impress upon
/ his visitors the fact that he was not
! coming" money and that the prizes Of
! tered by the management were most
! liberal.
The committee could not see the point
in the light that was shed on it by Mr..
Donovan, and before the coursing men
| completed their in eTylew they informed
the manager of the park that IL viii be 10
his advantage 10 add S1U0, instead of $50,
to the stake that is run for on three Sun
q 3
fourth Sunday.
Mr.. Donovan said that he would take
the matter under consideration and will
| report to the committee in the very near
future what he Will do relative to increas-
ing the value of the stakes.
1t appears that Mr.. Donovans troubles
did not end there. Owing 10 rumor
| which reached the ears of the Judge OF
! coursing, John Grace, the last-name gen.
! tleman called Mr.. Donovan 10 task con-
| cerning some remark he had made
that was not pleasing to the judge. The
upshot of this was that Mr.. Grace
/ informed NJ Donovan that in fu-
| ture ne must pay him tGrace) $50 each
Sunday instead of S25 as formerly, and
that his son, Jim Grace, must be paid $50

The demand almost scared Mr.. Dono-
van ''out OF his boots" but as Judge
! Grace is the only Judge in whom the cours-

sos Broadway, June 3.
The directors of the exposition decided
to-day on many important features for the
exhibition, which opens July 8.
One Of the new attractions over pre-
vious years will be the construction of a
large building on the ground that will be
known as Machinery Hail. In it will be
placed all the exhibits of the various ma
chine manufacturers in the county, and
one of the features will be q complete ex-
empliication OF The manner in which
sugar beets are treated at the refinery. In
view of the very great increase in beet
culture, which has taken place i'll this
county during the past year. this exhibit
will be one of marked interest.
1t has also been decided that the main
hall, which was originally known as the
Tabernacle, shall not contain any exhibits,
but shall be devoted exclusively to enter
tainments and socia bility.
Along the south side the ladies' societies
and philanthropical associations will have
their headquarters as usual. The w. c..
T. u, Ebeu Society, Po Iitical Equality
Society, Associated Charities and kindred
Institutions will all be represented with
characteristic booths, and as usual, the
net proceeds Of one whole day will be
devoted 10 the associated charities.
On the north side an entirely new ar
rangement will be carried out. There will
be national headquarters in the form of
reception booths, where all nationalities
will lind something OF special interest to
them. There will be seven of tn ese booths.
The rest OF the large h. II will be decorated
and fitted up for special entertainment n is
given each evening. and which have il
the past been somewhat disturbed because
OF the surrounding EXHIBITS.
THIS new arrangement will be appre-
ciated by the thousands who experienced
the annoy in past years. Owing TO
the decision OF the directors not 10 charge
any thing for space to exhibitors, the num-
Der of applications is already very large.
and IN some respects has been a reveIa-
ton 10 some OF the directors. One OF
them stated to-day that there is
in this county large car fac
tory at present filing a big contract
for Guatemala. and if po- sible one Of the
Guatemala cars will be on ex ioition. II
is not generally known that there is a
hourishIng furniture factory in this
county, but such will be demonstrated in
| tfe show. Very few people have any idea
of the immense amount of pottery manu-
factured and shipped from the pottery
works at Alameda and Fruiivale, or of the
| large shipments OF goods from Oakland's
! cotton mill.
| 1t Is for the purpose of bringing out
| prominently all these facts of immense

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

gyS Broadway, June 3.
The fiesta OF the Holy Ghost Assocja-
ticn that has been in progress for month
at San Leandro will be brought to a ter
mination next Sunday with very imposing
and elaborate ceremonies.
The members OF the Holy Ghost Asso-
citation commenced on Mayday a more
general celebration OF the Portuguese
feast than they have ever attempted be-
tore. One of the leading features of the
fiesta is the carrying of the silver crown
from house to house during the month of
May. Wherever the crown is there is en-
tertainment, and the mem Der who is thus
honored always keeps open house so long
as the crown is beneath his roof.
Next Sunday morning the crown will
have been returned to the hall of the asso-
Clation and, having completed its round,
IL Will be carried TO the church with muCn
pomp TO be blessed by the pastor, Father
McAvoy.
The crown will be carried at the head Of
the procession, which Will start about 10
o'clock and will be followed by thirty
young girls dressed in white ana carving
white flowers, walking Two abreast. Then
will come about the same nun Der Of men
wearing the insignia OF the association.
At the head Of the crown-bearer brass
banQ Wlu play appropriate music q the
procession moves along TO the church
where there will be appropriate services.
After the church ceremony is over the
association will keep open house at its
hall, and al day long every body will be
welcome to the hos pitaiity OF the n en-
bers.
In connection with the annual fiesta at
San LeaudrO Is an incident which Illus
trates the fidelity Of one mem Der of the
association 10 a VOW. Many years ago a
woman, then young, named Mrs. Will
Iiams, mad the misfortune of having her
husband stricken with blindness. The
wife made the subject one of special
prayer and promised her maker that f
her husbands sight were restored she
would do penanCe on her knees every
year. Her husband s sight was restored.
The penauce consists of walking on her
knees a distance Of about three blocks
While performing this duty she carries
the crown of the association in her hands.
Ia al the years since the vow was made
and the prayer answered Mrs. Williams
has not been once unfaithful to her
promise.
This incident was carried out a few DAYS
ago and Mrs. Williams renewed her vow.
which only has one ;tication-that she
be physically able 10 fulfill it.
A similar ceremony, though on
smaller scale, Will also be carried out
next Sunday at the Portuguese church in
West Oakland.

about s., 900, 600 of which Frank received
a one-sIxth interest. He was married IN
1874 and for eighteen years the couple
lived in Alameda County. They have
family OF eight children, the oldest OF
whom is d and the youngest two and a
half.

case, put real estate dealers, physicians
and dry goods dealers on the stand for the
purpose of making a showing regarding
the necessary cost of maintaining fam
lily such as the Bacons in a style behttinG
their position.
Tie most interesting witness was Mrs.
Mamie Bacon, the plaintiff. She married
when but 10 years OF age and IS the mo her
of ten children, two of whom are dead.
The marriage took place in Los Angeles
County, where ihey lived for a short time
in aristocratc style, keeping several SER
wants. According to her story her family
moved in Southern CaIforn,a's four hun
dred and did a great deal of entertaining.
They moved to Oakland and lived in the
Bacon residence on Oak street, one of the
finest residences in the city.
Two years ago Frank Bacon deserted his
wife and she stated that since then she
has been forced 10 take the children from
school and put the oldest boys 10 Work.
For three months after the deserti0n there
was often a scarcity of life's necessaries in
the Bacon home, and the court then
ordered the husband 10 furnish money.
During The period OF penury Mrs Bacon
was obliged to visit San Francisco pawn
shops and dispose of two diamond brace
lets ana other diamond iewelry, which
still remain in pawn.
The witness stated that she could live in
a mouse o. twelve rooms and woul be
satisfied with the old furniture but she
needed at least one servant. Mrs. Bacon
went into details to show what it cost the
family each month to live. According to
her idea, il would take about $3.50 10 keen
