dred Miles for a Cash
Prize.

There was a large attendance at the
me etingof the California Pigeon and HON.
ing Society at the ciubrooms, 632 Market
street, last evening. Several matters of
particular Importance were discussed and
disposed of, the principal one being the
filing of the entries of the Santa Rosa
races that will take place on May 81.
Connected with this race of fast-fying
Lirds is little incident worthy OF explain
alton. This race is for the, Kuehn trophy.
Otto L. Kuehn of Milwaukee, last year
presented the San Francisco Club with
twelve fine birds. These were auctioned
off and brought goodIy sum of money.
Last evening Messrs. Welch and Ben iamin
were appointed as committee to expend
this money for beautiful trophy to bear
the name Of the generous Milwaukee
donor, and 1t is for this prize that the
race is to be held on the last of next month.
The following are the entries for the
first Kuehn race from Santa Rosa on May
81: Otto Brewitt OF Alameda, 10 birds;
John Filmer of San Francisco, 10 birds;
III. f. Whitman of Alameda, 10 birds;
John Mole of Oakland, birds; G. H.
levitt of San francisco, 2 birds; T. w.
Leydecker of Alameda, birds; G. r.
Lennon of Colma station. l bird; j. w.
Welch OF San Francisco, 10 birds.
The members of the society have deter
mined to enter the field for long distance
record flights and the first move was made
last evening. 1t was decided to offer $40
for the bird, old or young, making the
longest distance in the present year. The
conditions were that up to and including
500 miles the race secretary will place
minimum number Of yards per hour that
the birds must fly. For distances over 500
miles certain number of days will be
allowed. 1t is probable that all will enter
this competition for record and for the
prize.
1t was decided to make a test case of
the new law recently enacted by the State
Legislature which makes it a crime for
any one TO kill, wound or detain hon.
ing pigeon in its flight.
A proposition was received from the
American Federation of Homing Pigeon
Associations Of Newark, N. j., for the

track that horses owned by certain owners
are changing hands without any money
con sideration being in sight. This, how
ever, is no new feature of sellipg-race wars.
Cy Holly said after the second event
that he had been waiting ali season to
make mild killing" and then when his
desire had been satiated the race is taken
away from his horse. Cy and all Of his
friends backed Montallsde heavily and
were naturally in anything but an amia-
Bile mood over the decision. Martins
trick was not new here, but in the past it
always failed to go through unless the
"house" was down on the beaten horse.
The decision was certainly very far fetched,
and II California owners are not the re-
ciplents OF more consideration at 1ngle-
side the local association will soon be able
to advertise Eastern racing by Eastern
horses" with perfect impunity.
After the different acrobatic. corkscrew
somersaults In the jumping horse busi-
ness OF late, II seems strange that Mar
/ t!nus, the cleverest of all the steeplecnase
rlders assem- Dled here. should have to re-
main on the ground so long for getting
beaten out In a drive on 10 TO 1 shot.
What a powerful KNOCK" must have
been registered against him by the
"steeplechase ruIer.p Martinus was un-
fortunate to begin with in being Cali

failed to carry out his Middle Western
orders.
Jockey Duffey now seess reinstatement.
The lad wishes to ride in Montana the
coming season, and as his exhibition on
Arno did not leave the brain in nearly as
muddled state as the one put UP by
Jockey Bill'' Martin on David Friday,
and which, By the way, came in for no
official censure, his request might be read
lily granted.
Tne victory of Scarborough was a very
popular one, and both Tommy Lottridge
and Jack Atkins, the colts owners, were
kept busy tor several minutes shaking
hands and receiving the congratulations
OF their friends. They won several thou
sand dollars over the colts victory. A
strange part of the race Is that both
the winner and Scarf Pin are trained
by Mr.. Lottridge, who has shown himself
to be q conditioner of horses without a
peer in this section of the country. The
young horsemen have not been favored
with coquettish Dame Fortunes sweetest
smiles uring the present season and the
colts win was like burst of sunshine
from a cloudy sky.
Manchester ran muchly improved
race yesterday, which perhaps his owner
could explain. Outsiders would say the
price was too shor. on Friday.

Scarborough, at 80 to 1,
Took the California
Derby.
The Winner Was Ridden by
Coady, Who Outfnished
Ted Sloan.
Willie Martin Worked a Clever Ruse
on the Judges-Montallade Won
and Was disqualified.

The inaugural California Derby, over
one mile and quarter, with a guaranteed
value to the winner of $4,000, was decided
at lngleside track yesterday and was cap
tured by the 80 to l outsider Scarborough
in furious drive from Scarf Pin, the big
son OF Ei Rio Rey, barely beating the gal
"laht filly a nose on the finishing post.
From spectacular point of view it was
exciting enough to stir the blood of o mar
bic Roman. gladiator, but from time
stand point and for race. replete with in
cidents it was fizZie.
The to favorite, Howard S.. backed
with thousands, finished just beyond the
money, and OF course this nettled the
tempers of many speculators But one
thing that excited much wonderment was
the condition OF the track. Whereas in
the past 1t has been the aim to have the
surface present az appearance of velvet,
yesterday 1t was narrowed up until it
looked ready to be planted with cab
bages. This fact called for much adverse
comment and robbed the big event of
much interest. The winner time, 2:111l,
gives an linking of its bad condition.
Strange say. as drawing card the race
fell nat, scarcely attracting more than the
usual Saturday crowd.
2he three. races run preceding the
DARBY" were not attended by any vast
amount of commotion, but when the odds
against the nine starters in that event
were posted visitors unpacked their
valises and shutf1ed into the ring. How

was the pick of the talent, and through
out'the betting ruled a consistent TO 5
favorite. Next came the Burns & Water
house pair, Altamax and Candelaria, at 7
to =, with Scarf Pin, who had receded from
5 TO To l, third in demand Atkins &
Lottridge made no secret OF the fact that
they thoug their big colt Scarborough
had royal chance, and his odds of 80 TO
were steadily played down to II and Is.
Good Times received the support of Nd any,
who played him on what he ought to Go.
After parading past the stand the horses
galloped to the post, and Starter Havey
sent them away with little delay. Pass
Ing the stand well punched, the rank out
slider Joe Ullman led Scarf Pin a head, fol-
lowed by Candelaris and Good Times, the
favorite back among the rear-enders. Be-
fore the turn down the back stretch had
been rounded Sloan, on Scarf Pin, had
taken command, with Thorpe on Cande-
laria, and Willie Martin, astride Good
Times, at his heels. There were slight
changes in the positions to the last turn,
where Coady moved up to second place
with Scarborough. Candelara, of which
much was expected, was now seen to be
beaten.
Entering the stretch the bay fellow had
a slight lead over Purser's hliy, and tray
cling with his sweeping stride the outsider
looked an easy winner. But Scarf Pin did
not intend TO give up without struggle,
and gamely responding to Sloan's urging
drew up on nearly equal terms with the
leader at the paddock, and in q grand I'm
ish bowed to defeat by a nose.

tributed the winners success, and the
California lad received an ovation on his
return TO the stand. AltamaI ran q sur
prisingiy good race, taking third money,
half a length before the favorite Howard
S. The latter was compelled to go the
overland route.
OF the events decided favorites won
three. The only thing worthy of incident
was the disqualifying of B. c. Holly's
horse Montalade after be had cleverly
downed the faint-hearted Amelia Fonso.
Willie Martin on the latter mare worked
the thread bare, time-worn gag OF pulling
up when within a few feet of the wire
with pitiful glance cast at the same time
toward the stand. The Kind hearted
officials sympatnized with Willie in his
trouble and as Montallade was only a
California horse anyway he was prom pity
disqualified.
The race in particular was the second on
the card, six-furlong selling affair.
Amelia was 10 choice around post
time, and getting away first led to the
paddock, where she was outgamed and
beaten odt handlly by Montallade. which
horse was backed from II down to s.
After delaying the start by his vainless
endeavors to kick big holes in the atmos-
phere Outlay, the 2 to l favorite in the
two-year-ol event, finally beat the barrier
and downed the field of fourteen with
ease, romping the four and half furlongs
in 50 seconds. In drive Los Prietos, the
second choice, t ook the place from Miss
Remsen.
Dan Honig's mare. Lizzie H, was the
one picked TO win the race following, also
at six furlongs, the money sending her
ont to favorits. Thorpe handled her
like a novice, and she failed TO finish
among the first flight. Chenille, once as
good as 10 to l in the betting, took tue
affair in a hard drive from Pat Murrhy,
against which Is to 1 was laid. Man
chester, another Is to l outsider, was
third.
Tne hurdle pantomime resulted in q
victory for Tuxedo, an 8 or 10 to
1 shot. which won driving from the
tavorite Arundel. These races which have
deteriorated to the level OF bunco ga me
will soon become obsolete. for they now
fail TO attract much interest. The "lob-
ster" horse Herman was again among the
''also rams
Saivable took his manufactured race
about the ffteent tn this season-from four
grewsome looking pIaters. He was 1 to
8 chance in the betting, and the race is not
entitled to description.

HUNGER IS THREATENED.
The Appropriation for Branch
Jail 8 Has Run Very
Low.
Supervisor Delaney Is Investig ating
and The Contractor Is
Obiurate.

The annual famine because of depleted
funds and an obdurate contractor is i'm
pending at Branch Jail No. 3, which is
presided over by Captain Ciarkson. Every
year the same thing occurs, and when
about three months of the fiscal year re-
main, the appropriation gets into bad
fix, the Pacific Marine Supply Company
shuts down, there is ''roar" from the
Jail that the prisoners are starving, and
then the Supervisors scurry around TO
avoid such contingency.
Auditor Broderick recently noticed that
the Branch 8 apportionment of funds was
running low, and when big batch of de-
mands that would have left the fund
badly oyerdrawn had they been paid
came in he refused 10 aud it them.
The contractor tried to argue the point,
but Mr.. Broderick pulled the law on him
and politely declined to audit any more
demands until the condition of the fund
warranted it. Supplies were running lew
at the Jail, but the Supply Company would
send no more, and then Supervisor De-
laney, chairman of theHealth and Police
Committee of the Board Of Supervisors.
was notified. He visited the Jail, found
an empty pantry, and then called on
Auditor Broderick to see what could be
done.
The two officials looked over the figures
together, and it was found that there is
$l637 81 available for bills contracted prior
to April 1 and that there are demands
against this already passed By the Board
of Supervisors amounting to $3576 81, of
which S 039 Is IS for supplies, etc., and
$1537 46 for salaries.
The aggregate amount OF the bills still
in the hands of the board is not known,
but they will certainly put the funds in
still worse condition. There is still sum
of about $4,000 to the credit of Branch. Jail
2 which is availa Bile, and it is proba BILE
that the board will make transfer of this,
as has been done before, and relieve the
famine.
1t is said that Supervisor Delany is dis
satisfied with the amount OF money that
has been spent for extras" and that
Captain Clark sons S table may suffer some
what from the investigation that is on.
