LARGE CROWD AT THE PARK
Bicyclists Meet With a Serious Ac- cident-Oficer Captures a Run
 aWau HOrSa

There were, perhaps. two reasons for the large number of people at Golden Gate Park yesterday-the fine weather and the stoppage of the running of trains on the Park and Beach Railroad. Many who had started for the Cliff and Sutro baths finding that the above named line was not running, turned into the park.
 One of the new attractions at lne deer park Is Q spotted lawn, which was found by the attendants late yesterday after noon. The mother, together with fine buck was brought here from Buenos Ayres several years ago. They are the only spotted deer ever brought to this coast and the fawn found yesterday is the first ever known to be born in cap tiVity.
 Policeman J. H. Kavanaugh made splendid capture of runaway horse, rid den by Sylvan Davis, of 1908 Pacific ave nue, who had lost control of the animal. The officer succeeded in stopping the horse just as it was about to dash into crowd of bicyclists.
 At the Emergency Hospital, Surgeon Wymore dressed the wounds of John Roach and Frank Chapman, two young bicycle riders who had met with a seri- ous accident while coasting down a hill on Balboa boulevard After receiving the attention of the surgeon they were taken home by their friends.
 The attendance at the Cliff House was light. At Sutro Baths there were a number of exciting aquatic races. the following being the winners: Fifty-yard race for boys under F, C. Dahl first and C. Clough second; seventy-five yard race Horton second; obstacle race. R. O'Con- nell first and w. Baker second: high div ing for boys under Is, N. DeSback first and c. Bancroft second.

 The man had been dead three or four days, but just when he shot himself is not known.

A daring robbery was committed by two men upon young woman at an early hour yesterday morning on Van Ness avenue and Market street. One or the men is under arrest, and detectives are securing the city for the other one.
 The victim of the robbery is Miss Annie B. Kedon, 4 Hyde street. Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morning Policemen Harrison and Ward heard a woman $ screams coming from the direction or Market and Van Ness and they both ran in that direction. They saw Miss heoon standing on the sidewalk and declaring that she had been robbed. She pointed to a man who was running along Oak street as one of the men who roooeo her. They gave chase, and after running three or four blocks they shouted that 1T the fugitive did not stop they would use their revolvers. He continued his night, and Harrison threw his club at him and hit him on the back. This had the er- feet of bringing him to a stop, and he was quickly handcuffed ana taken Dath ,.;t, to Miss hedon.
