A novice around the corner might have
picked the card at Emeryville yesterday,
but the regulars found it like taking soup
with Chinese chopsticks. Two favorites
won, but they had to; they were prohit-
i've favorites in the betting and the races
were modelled TO suit their respective
abilities. The attendance was good and
the individual donations kept the book.
makers in good humor.
Zeke Abrahams now signs his name
with minus sign affixed. He furnished
Ingleside the second choice for the open-
ing six-furlong battle, and all he got back
was the saddle trappings and II. Brown,
the Jockey, who by the way was in a sadly
dem moraiZed state.
At the far turn Brown saw three inches
of daylight separating two horses and took
a chance of getting through. The gap
was suddenly closed and Brown and Ingle-
side rolled in the dust. The coIored lad
was short of atmosphere for several min
utes and Ingleside broke leg and had TO
be destroyed.
Billy Ayres, en- to 1 shot, won the race,
with Popinjay, at 100 to 1, second.
Parthamax, the Burns S Waterhouse
entry, was to chance for the second
. event over 3 mile. and leading throughout
the Maxim colt led the entire journey,
winning cleverIy from Russeila, the sec
ond choice. Sly was good third.
Tempestuous started for the first time in
the colors of the Fleur de Lis stable and
was the post favorite for the six-furlong
selling affair next decided. He was back
in the ruck the first part but came on in
time to finish second, beaten two lengths
by Charlemagne, to l shot. Roltalre,
the second choice, made the running into
the stretch.
Miss Rowena lay all over the others in
the four-furlong scramble for two-year-
olds, and won with consummate ease from
Barney Schreiber, going over to the gate
an IL TO 20 favorite. Flushington, at odds
OF u to l, beat Hermoso out for the show.
The stable and intimate connections
got their checks down good and hard on
Aiyarado to win the mile selling run, but
the clatter of hoofs at his heels all the
way was distastefuI, AID he became
afflicted with heart failure toward the
close. This bad acting son of Amigo was

Dun boy, with Jockey BilI'' Martin at

sprlnters among the field and they made
Dunboy's head spin before he reached the
wire. After Refugee and Jim Bozeman
had set terrific clip well into the stretch,
Coady, astride the Is to l shot Major

handily from Mobalaska, against which 8

tion declaring such constitution so ratified to
be the constitution of the State.
1t Will thus be seen that it is within the
bounds of possibility 10 secure for this State q
next century, and in my humble judgment
the people of this State could render Them
selves no better. service than. by calling such
convention and adopting the result of its
labors, providing the same shall be in accord
snce with the sentiment OF the people of the
State at that time.
present constitution is unsatisfactory and that
the same should be revised. 4 constitution
should be a simple declaration of fundamental
principles of law. whereas our constitution is
so incum bered with details as to be in effect
statutory provision rendering it almost i'm
possible to enact laws hereunder which shall
not in some particular conflict herewith. In
some countries there Is no written constitu-
tion, and in view OF the ease with which the
Supreme Court OF our State DEGREES the uncon-
stitutionality OF desirable statutes enacted by
our Legislature have sometimes thought that
it would be greatly TO our advantage If we
also were without an interchangeable document
declaratory OF our fundamental law.
The plain duty, then, OF all persons who
favor constitutional amendments in our State,
whether in the matter OF tax reform or upon
other subjects, is TO bend every energy to Sc
cure the ma jority OF the votes at the next cleo
ton in favor of calling the constitu al con-
vention, and as the people OF this State are
progressive, intelligent and thoughtful have
no doubt that two years from now they will
vote in favor of such convention and in pur-
suance thereof will elect men of sound judg-
ment and progressive ideas who will assume
the duties of delegates to that convention in
spirit of earnest desire to so amend our or
ganic law as 10 abolish the numerous evils
which exist Hereunder.
Speaking of the spread of the single
tax doctrine in the State Mr.. Hoyt said
1.-The single tax finds favor wherever it
comes to be understood. We really had
no opposition IN the Legislature to the
single-tax amendment, SO called. among
the small farmers OF the State. The men
who beat that amendment were large
