DEMOCRATS SEEK
 HARMONY IN VAIN
District Club Nominations Are the Cause of Numerous
 Local Rows.
The Police Called In to Avert Host;li- ties in the Thirty Second
 Assembly District

Last night was the time fixed for the nomination by each of the recently or ganized Democratic district clubs of members for election as delegates to the general committee. The election Is twenty-five of the nominees of each club will be selected as delegates
 The proceedings last night demon strated the fact that all is not harmo- nious in some of the districts in spite of the efforts of Major Harney to have everything done according to pro- gramme. Local factions took ad- vantage of the opportunity to fight for private grievances, a condition that in some of the districts led to entangle- ments so grave that no nominations were made and none are likely to be made unless the bosses lay a heavy hand on the combatants.
 In the Thirty Assembly Dis trict there was a row that resulted in a call for the police. Under the pro- lection of two Stalwart coppers the secretary was enabled to reach the headquarters of the campaign commit tee With the returns of the meeting. It appears that one of the disturbing fac tors was Frank Lester, an aStute poli- tician, who assumes the right to direct the affairs of his district in such mat ters as require the exercise of that par ticular brand of political diplomacy that is his by right of discovery. As those who are so blind as not to be able to see and appreciate his merit are set ting on foot very vigorous protest 1t is not unlikely that he may feel the heavy hand in the near future. The way of the aspiring politician is indeed a hard one.
 Fractional fights marred the harmony of the evenings proceedings in the Fortyfi Forty-seventh, Twenty eighth and Fortieth Assembly Districts and it will require the work of several days to straighten out the local tangles. AS a rule, however, the slate prepared in advance went through with a rush that spoke well for the discipline of the Rainey- Harney followers

Captured the Schreiber Stake Handily Ridden
 by H. Shields.
Morinel Gave Away Weight and Won Like a Real
 Good One.
The Rubicon Party Made a Cleanup Three Favorites Met With
 Defeat

While Olinthus may never become as shining a light on the turf as his illustri- ous brother Diggs, he is about the best or the two-year-olds travelling around in these parts. Yesterday the big chestnut came out first best In five furlong scrimmage at lngleslue, called the Schrel- Der stake, worth S700 to the winner. It is termed scrimmage from the fact that all sorts of choppy riding was indulged In by the different jockeys, and with timld pilot on his back Olinthus would have been bamboozled out of the prize. Henry Shields took chance, and his daring was rewarded with success. Olinthus ruled to choice in the betting, and soon after the start was blocked by Mossbrae and Obsidian. On entering the stretch Shields, astride the favorite, saw an open ing next the rail and started through. He managed to evade Thorpe on Excursion after squeezing his way out of an un- pleasant predicament, beating the latter colt finally by over a length in 1:O2A, and this with 123 pounds on his back. Ob- sdian ran better than usual, finishing third
 Favorites performed indifferently throughout the afternoon, three going down to defeat, about the average num- Der these days. The attendance showed an increase, and the betting was eX- tremely good.
 Although conceding all kinds of weight to every one or the other entries III lle mile selling affair, 4horinel was big fla vorite in the betting. and showed what really good lilly she was by running around her field when the bend for home was reached, and leading Thelma out with something to spare, tilting the dis tance off in 1:41 flat San Marco, second choice, was third.
 Ed Corrigan's chestnut colt Major Hooker looked an "airtight" for the open ing mile run for maidens, but Clawson's brilliant piece of buffoonery saw him led out by the to 1 chance Applejack, with Charley Macklin up.
 The brown colt San Mateo was made favorite for the six furlong sprint follow ing, but was headed from the start and handily beaten by Miss Lynah the to 1 second choice. Imp. Mistral finished in the show.
 The mile and a quarter over hurdles proved a gift TOT the favorite, Our Cli- mate, piloted by Doane. He outfooted and outjumped his field winning in a gal lop from George Palmer.
 In the final mile purse run Rubicon was oil out of the can and at odds of Is to headed the other three entries from the time the barrier was released. finishing with lots left over two lengths before her- nardillo. Won't Dance, the favorite, ran like an invalid. landing in last place, be- hind imp. Tripping.

CONNEMARA WAS SCRATCHED. The Fast Hound and Prize-Winner
 Attacked by a Cat.

The Ingleside and Union Coursing parks are making very extensive preparations for their respective Mayday meetings.
 The tempting prizes that are offered to leashmen should induce the owners of fast greyhounds in all parts of the State to enter their charges.
 The best-two-in-three championship stake, which will be run off at Ingleside, will test the staying qualities of the com peting dogs, and especially will this be the case if the hares are in a running mood.
 At the Union Park great interest will be centered in the race between Come mara and For Freedom-that is in case Mir Deane, the owner of the local dog, shall conclude to enter Con for the big meeting. The leashmen are about di- vided in opinion as to which is the better dog, and that question can be solved only when the two great f1iers meet in the slips.
 Unfortunately, Connemara met with an

The Heavyweight Champion of Mon
 tana Finds Very Few Backers in This Citv

Betting on the Mexican Pete and Jeff ries fight Is very slow, and there is very little hope that it will improve until the men enter the ring
 The sporting people look upon Pete as being nice game for the big, heavy hitting man from Oakland, and although they offer slO on Jeffries they cannot find bet ter than $3 against it in any of the pool rooms In the mutuels some money is being played at Crowley & Raggett's that Jefries will put the champion of Montana to sleep inside of five rounds put the wise ones are very liable to go wrong in their calculations, as Pete is quite sprinter and will bother Jeffries 10 no small extent in running and duck ing. It will not surprise many judges of pugllism to hear that Pete lasted fifteen rounds in front of his big opponent.

For the Omaha Exposition.

Some time ago the Hon. G. B. Bracket pomologist of the Department of Agri- culture Washington, D. C., wrote to J. A. Fflcher, manager of the State Board of Trade, asking the latter to collect as large variety ofCalifornia fruits as pos sible for the Omaha Exposition. This he wants for the governmental display at the fair, as distinctive from any State exhibit. MT. Filcher went to work and he has met with more than fair success. Producers and jobbers from all parts of the State have offered him as much of the finest fruits as he will care to handle MT. Bracket sent out a large quantity or ranked boxes, so that the shipment of the fruit would not cost anything. but the most of the contributors desire to have their exhibits sent to the fair in the original packages. The heaviest contrib utors are from Fresno, Santa Clara and this city.

STOPPED THE
 PERFORMANCE
Ferris Hartman the Recipient of an Ovation at the
 TivOli.
Tommy Leary Spies His Old Conn paniOn Seated in
 Box.

For a full five minutes the performance of "Sinbad" at the Tivoli was interrupted by ecstatic applause and cheering on the part of the audience for speech by Fer ris Hartman. Accompanied by George Bowles, Ferris and his sister occupied the lower right proscenium box. AS soon as they took their seats the Tivoli company was in a fiutter from Top:mY Leary down to the latest acquisition in the chorus, and Hartman was the exposure not only of the optics of the company, but the audience as well.
 All went smoothly until the sextet, with murder oozing out of every pore, came to the front for one of it's popular songs. When Bob Mitchell had finished his verse, Leary began to use the Sotto VOce. He had saluted Ferris on his entrance to the box, and now advanced a step on this by calling out: Hello, Teddy" The audience heard it and a gentle hand-clapping set in. Swelling and growing each instant, wave of applause swept over the house that made it impossible for Leary to con tinue his song. Hartman bowed his ac- Acknowledgements, but the audience was not satisfied. By a subterfuge, Leary obtained comparative quiet and then sang his song, of which Hartman was the burden. There was no restraining the outburst that followed After 1t had spent its fury Ferris, acceding to the continued importunities of the audience, gracefully surrendered. He leaped over the railing that separates the box from the stage and was escorted to the center of the boards by the gentle, guiding hand of Carrie Roma This is what Ferris said:
 Ladies and gentlemen, I am much moved and l don't want to stop the per formance. l am enjoying it immensely, and as you are also, the best thing is to have it go on."
 Then George Lask lost his smile in the wings, blew his whistle and the perform ance recommended, just as Ferris recov- cred his equanimity and his broad facial ornament.
