dramas. In organizing this company Mr..
Sawtelle has borne well in mind the pre-
vailing demand for something Of a high
order in the way of vaudeville. The Saw
telle Company has always been noted for
good specialties, but this season the
management claims to eclipse anything
on the road in this special line. Prolni-
nent among the specialties are Miss Ger
trude Hayes, with the only grand orohes-
trail organ before the public; George
Fisher, singer and dancer; Lizzie Wilson
dialect singer; Fl. e. Mckee, in sketches
and imitation; George Denton, descrip-
tive singer; Ernani, the dancer, the only
rival of Loie Fuller and others. Seats are
now ready at the box office for the entire
engagement.
Puddnhead Wilson.
''Pudd nhead Wilson," thanks to the
late Frank Mayo, the dramatizer. is one
of the greatest American plays ever pro-
duced. 1t teaches US an old lesson the
barbarians have not forgotten-the wis
dom of the fool the great worthiness
of heart over head. The story is as fresh
as Whit from the clover carpeted fields
after the perfumes Of the boudoir. It's life
is the life that counts for good in the
world. Its passion is the passion that
touches the heart and moistens the eye.
1t is a natural plot that deals with peo-
pie whose vices are not tangled and
whose virtues are convictions, not con-
formities to mere conventions. One can
watch the development of the story and
be led to forget that it is play. Gould
we but have more plays like "Pudd' n
head Wilson, America would be proud
of its authors and the stage. The play
dates back to the early part Of the pres
emit century, and brings to view the old
fashioned hoop-skirts, stove-pipe hats,
cutaway coats, tight trousers, ruffied shirts
and other fashions that appear strange
enough to people whose memories do not
go back to that period. Pudd nhead
Wilson will be seen at The jefferson
next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Way Down East.
The very newest play dealing with the
gentle simplicity of rural life is "Way
Down East story about plain people

with perfect satisfaction to all concerned.

THE 2.10 TROT.
There were five starters in the 10 trot,
as the favorite. In the first heat, Van
Zandt drew the pole and maintained the
lead until the half. Que Allen got the
lead, going to the half and held it until
they swung into the stretch when Derby
Princess after five mile drive by San
ders, won the heat by half length in
200 1-s, considerably over her mark.
a In the second heat Que Allen wasn't
headed from wire TO wire. About 700
yards from the wire Ed Geers, with
Athanio, made great drive. taking sec
ond place awayfrom Derby Princess.
The third milo was finely contested
one and but for an unfortunate break
almost at the goal, Geers would have won
the heas with Athanio. Que Allen held
the lead, being closely pressed by Athanio.
The third mile was trotted when it was
hardly possible to determine the horses
on the back stretch. At the half Athanio
and Que Allen stepped away together
from the rest of the field and going into
the stretch the pair were Tapped and lead
ing the field by at least ten lengths. In
the stretch Geers sent Athanio to the
lead and held it, taking the heat in

Like her husband, who went recently

Mrs. Elizabeth P. Shackleford. 1t was

Just three weeks ago Attorney Thomas
]. Shackleford took seat in train at
Visalia en- route to his home at 1905 Leav-
enworth street in this City. When the
conductor asked the passenger for his
ticket death paid the fare. The end had
come with the jogging of the cars. So it
was with the widow he left behind.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
string snapped and there passed from the
Southern element of San Francisco society
one of its most popular members.
Mrs. Shackleford was a Miss Hunter, a
native of Lexington, Mo-, in 1S48. Her
late husband was Southerner from
Lynchburg, Va, and the turmoils of the
Civil War sent both families West in the
early EOS. Shackleford settled in Visalia.
So did Miss Hunter and her people.
Just twenty EIGHT years ago they were
married. The husband had political am
bition end gratified them In his younger
days. He was secretary of the State SEN
ate in 1868 and representative in the As.

decision on February % would not be run
on hat date. This date was claimed by
the lngleside association some time ago
for the running OF this particular race,
but on last week the California Jockey
Club announced that the four-mile stake
on that clubs programme would be run
on February 20. This would, of course,
preclude the horses running in this
latter race starting again two days later.
Yielding to the wishes of horsemen with
an eye to capturing one or the other OF
these distance runs, Mr.. Spreckels said
that his club would postpone the running
OF its stake until later in the season, an
other stake being substituted as the fea-
ture of the Washington's birthday card.
David won number of handicaps dur
the past summer. He was we'll nigh un-
beatahle at Milwaukee, so a prominent
trainer states. showing himself a horse
capable OF reeling off a mile in 40.
Sam Doggett must be very poor Judge
of pace. He rushed Applause away as
thou b the distance to be covered was
three panels instead ofla mile and the
mares defeat was predicted before half
the distance had been run.
Morrellito is the first of the get of the
dead Morello to face the barrier. He did
not accomplish wonders, but may improve
with little more age.
Bookmaker Johnny Coleman placed 500
about the ring on David, getting 25 to 1
for his money. He bought soda water for
every body in proximity to his stand when
that horse won.
Olive ran a corking good race yesterday

THE KENNEL CLUB GONE.
The Olympic Gun Club Will Step Into
the Shoes of the Defunct
Paciflcs.

a special meeting of the Pacific Kennel
Club was held last evening in the Ccci-
dental Hotel to hear the report OF COM
mittee recently appointed to interview
mem bers relative to the policy of the club
in the future.
e. Briggs. who was chairman OF the
committee, reported that of twenty-eight
mem bers who were interviewed all were
iD favor of the club disbanding. Mr..
Bushnell then moved that the money and
property of the Pacific Kennel Club be
given 10 the Olympic Gun Club as a
guarantee fund, provided that it will give
a bench show this year in this City,
and in the event OF the Olympic Gun
Club failing to hold a show this year the
money of the Pacific Kennel Club placed
in its charge revert TO a committee ap-
pointed by the chair, or in the event of the
olympic Gun Club holding a successful
show without the necessity of having to
call upon the funds of the Pacific Kennel
Club, said fundS must be refunded TO the
committee to be equally divided among
the Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew or
phan asvlums OF this City.
The motion was carried unanimously
and the chair appointed Messrs. Watson,
Gruenhagen, Briggs, Bushnell and Haignt
as the committee.
E. Briggs moved that owing to the fact
that the hazardous duties of the club have
for years fallen upOn'the shoulders OF a
few enthusiastic mem bers, and because of
the lack of interest and support mani
