good time of it in selling races, and from hearsay the gelding stands a good chance of being ''boosted'' in the near future. Of his race yesterday. Alex Shields, owner of Topmast said that the next time that his horse started against Red Glenn and did not have his weight up some bid ding up would take place.
 "Skeets" Martin did some very clever saddle work in the different races. He finished first astride Survivor, Daisy F and Red Glenn.
 Danny Lynch was very wrathy over the defeat of Rubicon and was inclined to blame Starter Caldwell. The horse swerYed after the barrier was released, and 1t is certainly difficult to understand where the starter was at fault.
 The following are the conditions for two extra races. to be run on Monday, Decem- Der 26 at Ingleside track: Handicap, purse $500 to the winner; en- trance $10, $15 additional to start; for g. year-olds and upward. Entries close Fri day, December g; weights and declara- tions Saturday, December A. One and a

SWAMPROOT Is the Great Remedy for Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid Troubes-To Prove for Yourself Its Wonderful Merits, You May Have Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely FREE by Mail.

You can waste health without know ing it, and poor health almost always begins in the kidneys.
 The most important organs of the whole body are the kidneys.
 They filter your blood and keep 1t pure.
 People are apt to believe that kidney disease is rather rare disease, but re- cent discoveries have proved that it is a most common trouble indeed.
 And the proof of this is, that most diseases, perhaps S5 per cent, are caused in the beginning by disorders of the kidneys.
 You can't be sick if your blood is pure, free from kidney poison and dis ase-breeding germs.
 Your kidneys should keep it so. That's what they are there for. And as long as they are we'll they perform their du- ties with thoroughness and dispatch.
 You are well when your kidneys are.
 Dr. Kilmer's SWamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, will make your kidneys well when they are sick.
 Kidney trouble often comes from overwork or overexertion. From ex- posing them to cold and other weaken ing influences from lifting or a strain, worrying. From overeating or over drinking. All these things weaken your kidneys and poisonous germs be- gin to creep into your blood.
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-21

It is at just such times that pr. Kill mer's SWamp-Root is needed.
 When your kidneys are not doing their work, the symptoms which prove it to you are backache, headache, sedi- ment in the urine, scalding irritation in passing 1t, obliged to go often dur ing the day and to get up many times at night; dizziness, irregular heart, bladder or uric acid troubles, rheuma- tism, neuralgia, sleeplessness, nervous ness, irritability, sallow complexion, bloating, dropsy, tired feeling, loss Of energy and ambition.
 SWamp-Root is a vegetable remedy, the great discovery of pr. Kilmer (the eminent kidney and bladder specialist), and has truly marvellous restorative powers over the kidneys.
 You can set your whole system right with Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
 The best proof of this is trial, and nothing could be fairer than the offer to send a sample of this great discov- cry for trial absolutely free to any ad- dress.
 To get the sample and a book that tells more about this interesting sub- ject, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bing- hamton, N. T., and mention that you read this liberal offer in the San Fran cisco Daily Call.
 If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root Is what you need, you can purchase the regular 50-cent or S1 sizes at the drug stores

Track Notes.

The going yesterday was very sloppy on top, with good, firm footing.
 Bookmaker Joe Rose was one of the big winners of the day, beating four out of five races.
 If Spencer can furnish no more vigorous ride than the one he put up. on Toribio long-sunering public will gladly excuse him till the weather clears up.
 Despite the boosting it has received in the East, the New Orleans game is re- ported in a bad way. Handicapper J. w Brooks of the Oakland track attended the racing at Ingleside and reported that Fred Foster had wired for ten stalls, and was due yesterday. In his string are such shifty performers as Abuse, DT. Shepard, Dr. Rice and GIenmoyne. Some years ago Foster made a great killing" with Dr.. Rice when that horse won the Brooklyn Handicap. Tommy Griffin it is said, is also thinking of starting for California.
 Caesar Young tried to beat 'em from the ground yesterday. a feat he failed to ac- complish while on the block. Caesar joined in the rush to get aboard Red Glenn.

 Dave Fountain, the Idaho horseman, arrived at Oakland track yesterday with the noted sprinter l Don't Know, the stake horse Tempo and a couple of others. Tempo has quite history. He was pur- chased in Kentucky by Ed TfptOn and sent to Montana to win some coin. In his races he displayed aDout as much speed as waller dawg," and was sold at auction to MT Fountain for $70 After winning a couple of purse races he was started in the $5000 Labor day handicap, decided at Anaconda. and beaten but a nose by Scottish Chieftain, the Daly en- try Later. at the Great Falls meet, the Whistle Jacket horse defeated Chieftain over a mile and a quarter, covered in 2:06l4, the Montana record.

NO PAY, NO LIGHTS.
The Gas Company Begins Fight for
 Back Bills Due From the City.

The gas company considers the city a bad debtor and has refused to honor re- quests for an aggregate of a thousand new lights asked for during the last month by the Board of Supervisors. And the company has announced to the board, though quietly, that it will not honor further requests until Mayor Phe- lans veto gets the charley horse and goes out of business. Since October ' every monthly bill of the gas company that has come in has been passed by the board. but sent back to it adorned with the Phelan veto. MT. Phelan has taken this action not because he does not enjoy the effulgence of the company's illumin- ant, but because he does not believe 1t should be paid for if he can find a legal technicality to eVade it. The result is that every payday compels a hustling for enough votes to override his edict. It is invariably done, but the bills are stopped at the Auditors office by an injunction and the stream of dollars from the treas ury effectually damned
 The gas people have finally begun to fight back and the threat was floating around yesterday that unless there was something done in the next two weeks MT Phelan would be obliged to write his veto messages by tha light of a tallow dip As it Is there will be no more light requests honored until present obligations are liquidated.'

HAWKINS RESTS
 KID McPA PARTLAND Knocked Out in the
 Third Round. LEFT SWING ON THE JAW
NEW YORK LAD CARRIED TO
 HIS CORNER.
Backers and Friends of the Califor- nian Cheer Wildly When the Referees Decision Is
 Announced.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-Dal Hawkins, the lightweight pugilist from the Pa cific Slope, made short work of Kid Mcfarland of this city, whom he met in the arena of the Lenox Athletic Club tonight. The bout was decided in the third round, the New Yorker being knocked out with a left swing on the jaw. Hawkins opened favorite in the betting at 100 to 80, but these odds did not last long, and even money ruled when the men donned the gloves.
 This was the third time Hawkins has fought before a New York club. He won from Joe Cans in fifteen rounds the last time he anneared here and was knocked out by Spike Sullivan on his second visit.
 The men agreed to box under Mar quis of Queensberry rules and to break when called on. They were announced ed 135 pounds at o'clock this after noon.
 Round 1-After some slow work Haw- kins got in left hook on Macs stomach and the Kid fell to his knees, but arose quickly and they exchanged left hooks on the stomach and head before the bell sounded.
 Round 2-Mac cut out the pace, with Hawkins on the defensive, but very little was done by either until near the close, when Hawkins landed a very hard left hook in the wind.
 Round 3-Hawkins was first to count swinging his left on the ribs. Mac replied with a left on the head. Then both sent left hooks to the head. Mac sent straight left to the face, and Dal sent his right over the heart. This blow weakened Mcfarland, who few seconds later was sent to the floor with a left hook on the jaw. Mac rolled over, but got to his feet in nine seconds. Both made passes at close quarters. Dal sent his right and left to the jaw and Mac landed a short left swing on DaPs jaw. Just as Mac started to sprint away Hawkins let fly another long left swing which landed flush on Macs jaw and the New Yorker dropped like log, fiat on his back. He lay as if dead, while the referee counted ten, and then McPartland's seconds carried their man to his corner.
 Referee Charley White declared flaw kins the winner, while the packers and friends of the Californian stood up and cheered wildly. The time of the round was two minutes and thirty-one sec onds.
 Frank Bradley of Philadelphia and Billy Needham of St. Paul put up a lively fight in the preliminary of ten rounds at 126 pounds. Both men were pretty well marked up at the finish. The referee decided in favor of Bradley.

The astute Western horseman Pat Dunne turned a warm one loose from his barn at ingleside yesterday and didn't Know 1t. Survivor, carrying his colors. went to the post along with five other tWo-year-olds in the opening scramble at six furlongs, and so lightly were his chances considered that the odds drifted pack from to 12. As a matter of fact. MT Dunne and his friends laid their checks on Horton, the to favorite. con- sidered invncible. When it came to a drive the last sixteenth "Skeets" Martin. astride of Survivor had the best of the argument with Turner on the odds-on cholce. and gained the verdict by a nose. Good Hope, the second choice also heav- fly played, was third. It was the initial appearance at the meeting of the winner, ana the stable naturally supposed the ing 1t with Horton.

 The downfall of Rubicon came about in peculiar way.
