Lovdal, the even money choice, showed
that he was many pounds the best of seven
starters. Cut off ana knocked about at
the irst turn, and again shut off entering
the stretch, Thorpe got up just in time to
beat the leo to shot. Encino, a head.
Logan, which was extensively PLAYED on
a tip that the ''iron horse" had regaIned
his old form, was third, only neck far
thor away.
40 Stemler's fast filly, Scotch Rose, was
the most pronounced sort OF favorite for
the five-furlong sprint that came next.
She had the field at her mercy from the
start, and won under wraps from Chenille.
Eta II, the second choice. away from the
post poorly, was coming very fast at the
end, being beaten btt q head for the place.
The final six-furIong selling event devel-
oped the surprise of the afternoon. 1t
looked soft spot for Caliente and the
books soon rubbed the even money offered d
down to to 5. Mike Hennessy managed
to get Howard. 10 to l chance, away
from the post advaptageously, and al

two lengths in 1:l4A. Shaw landed Mer-

SCHOOL BOARD ECONOMY
Workmen Will On'y Be EN-.
ployed on Half Time for
Some Months.
Directors Burns and Waller Examine
Building Sites West of
Castro Street.

Drastic economic measures have been
decided on by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee OF the Board of Education in
order TO stave off 10 as great an extent as
possible the threatened deficit in the
School Department funds.
Ata meeting of the committee yesterday
morning the matter was discussed at
length, and 1t was decided to reduce the
force OF men under the jurisdiction of the
com mittee about one half. Chairman
Burns stated that the work on school
buildings and grounds left over by the old
board had practically been caught up with,
and that under the circumstances it would
be feasible TO reduce the force materially.
He stated that careful review OF the
situation showed that after the short va
cation which begins next week at least
fifteen men could be dispensed with. 1t
was debated whether or not to select fifteen
men and let them out entirely or 10 work
the entire thirty on half lime, and the
latter plan was decided upon.
Each crew will work two weeks in the
month until the work on hand and the
condition Of the funds permits the en-
ployment of the entire force. This order
Of affairs will also affect the men under
the control of the Com mittee on Supplies.
On Sunday, at the request of the West
of Castro street Improvement Club Chair
man Burns of the Buildings and Grounds
Committee, Chairman Waller of the FL
nance Committee and John ]. 'Brien,
Inspector OF Buildings, made tour of the
district represented by the club for the
purpose of looking into the matter of
school site for the locality.
A petition for a new school west of
Castro street was put in some time ago,
and it is probable that the matter will be
reported favorably upon by the two CON-
mittees and the building provided for in
the next appropriation.

BEGAN
THE WEEK WELL
Five First Choices in Front
at Emeryville
Track.
Jockey Thorpe Was in Rare
Form, Plotting Four of
the Winners.
Raw ell Salto Won With Eas -Encino
at Odds of 100 10 I, Beaten but
a Head by Lovdal.

Six races furnish ample opportunity
to win or lose few dollars around race
track Seven events were down on the
card at Emeryville yesterday, and with
tedious waits and exasperating delays at
the post ii was nearly o'clock before the
majority of the crowd, hungry and in
any thing but CHEEKY mood, landed on
this side.
The racing, while not presenting any
high-class fields, was above the average.
Five favorites headed their fields past the
stand, and the regulars are temporarily
possessed of considerable means. The
bookmakers. however, extended TO them
a pressing invitation to again be present
to-day.
Jockey Charley Thorpe maintained his
high average and still further increased
his popularity by riding four winners past
the finishing post in front. Thorpe has
many followers and they were wallowing
In clover.
The sport opened with a six-furlong
spin for maiden three-year-o olds. in which
Velo1, backed to 13 to 5favoritsm, showed
to be the best of poor lot and won
handily from Cogent, a 10 to 1 outsider.
Major Fludd. the second choice, finished
Dack IN the rucK.
A six-furlong affair under selling condi-
tions followed, resulting in an easy win
for Altamax. the 8 to 10 choice, ridden by
Thorpe. Peril showed high turn OF
speed as usual out in front. but stopped
badly at the end. finishing over TWO
lengths behind the favorite in 1854. Don
Clarencio took the show.
The third event was another slx-furlong
run for maiden three-year-olds. 1ulare
was to favorite in the betting, and,
after having the 80 to 1 shot Fanny S
ueaten forty yards from the wire, Hen
messy, who had the mount overlooked
seeing st. Distaff coming on the outside,
and was nipped out q head on the wire.
The winner receded in the betting from
211 to to l.
Tne racy Rey ell Saito took the four
furiong scramble tor twoyear-olds, hands
down. Coupled with his stable COM
panion, Los Prietos. the ring laid 2 TO l
again It the Baldwin entries. Rey ell Salto
quickly rushed 20 the front after the start
and, never extended. passed the wire first
by three lengths in 49 seconds. In hard
drive Little T G headed out the second
cnoice, Gypceiver, for the place.

THE PAPERS MISSING.
Sudden Hitch in the Last of the Suits
of the Hale & Norcross
Litigation.

The latest of the Hale & Norcross suits
has come to sudden hitch, because not
one of the papers filed in the suit can be
found. They have been taken from the
County Clerks Office.
The missing papers are those that were
filed last week in the suit brought by NJ.
w. Fox to restrain certain persons from
voting stock that they no in trust at the
annual election OF the Hale 81 Norcross
Mining Company. Fox filed a com plant
charging a conspiracy on the part of AL
vinza Hayward, Robert Grayson and 9TH
ers 10 get control of the mine, and asking
that they be enjoined from voting the
stock he d in trust. The defendants filed
an answer denying a conspiracy, and
charg ng that the plaintiff had illegally
obstrncIed the election. He also filed a
notice of motion to dissolve the injunc-
tion that had been issued, and asked that
Fox be enjoined from further interie renee.
Saturday last the case was argued be-
fore Judge Slack, and it was then an
nounced that the papers had been misaid
and could not be produced. Yesterday
morning another request for he papers
was made, and then it was announced
that they had actually disappeared.
By agreement copies Of the missing doc
uments will be flied, as o the dates of the
originals, and the case will proceed. The
theft has done no one any good, nor has it
harmed any one.
