 UNPLACED.
A Large Attendance at Oakland Re- opening Day-Three Favorites in Front-First Call in
 Great Fettle.

The strapping chestnut colt Olinthus proved the sensational performer reopen ing day at the track over the bay. Over looked in the betting by the major DOT tion of the crowd, he landed the Oakland Prize stake, valued at $1250, from select bunch of youngsters, with 30 to 1 offered about him in the ring. The crowd fa vored Ailyar, even though the distance, one mile, was further than he had ever been asked to go, and Pat Dunnes colt closed an even money choice. The Burns & Warehouse stable scratched First Tenor, thinking Humidity good enough to win, and the brown lilly had stanch fol- lowing. Sam McKeever and Limewater were the only other starters. At the start Martin skinned away in the lead with the favorite, but was nabbed before half the distance had been covered by both Olinthus and Humidity Into the stretch Henry Shields had Olinthus in front, and stalling off the challenge of Powell astride Sam McKeever the last sixteenth, won by a neck in 1:41 fiat. Limewater was a fair third. The two choices followed, several lengths away.

The Newest Stamp.

Letters reached London on Friday evening which had been posted at Khar- toum on October 25, having thus taken only seventeen days to travel from the Central Soudan, which a few months ago was absolutely closed to postal communi- cation. The rapidity of transmission is, remarks the London correspondent of the Birmingham Daily Post eloquent testf- mony to the splendid organizing power at work out there, while the completeness of the postal service is further attested by the excellent impression of the post mark stamp, bearing the word "Khar- toum," with the date and hour of post ing in English and Egyptian characters. The new Soudan postage stamp, by the way, bears an inscription which is not without significance, in that the words "Soudan postage" are printed in English. The Egyptian postage stamps, it must be remembered, bear French inscriptions. The rebuilding of Khartoum has, l hear. already been commenced with energy London Pail Mall Gazette

THAT DANGEROUS SIGN BOARD
Merchants Object to Having Rear
 ny-Street Nuisance Restored.

The Merchants Association has come to the front again in a protest against the granting of permission to erect the high signboard fence on the top of the old building on the corner of Kearny and Bush streets. On the strength of a rumor to the effect that application is about to be made to the Supervisors for permission to put the objectionable and dangerous sign structure back, the association has presented to the city fathers reasons concluding the letter. the officers of the association say: This association has protested on several occasions to the continuance of this fragrant violation of the ordinances of the city. The Fire Com missioners have conceded the enormity of the evil, but claim to be powerless to remedy the same. The Board of Health appears to lack authority to condemn the structure as q public nuisance"

Durie Heitheir at Home.

Little Durie Heithier. the girl whose recent sensational attempt at suicide placed young George Alexander of Oak land in. so unenviable a light, has fully recovered from the frightful wound she inflicted upon herself and has returned with her mother to her home in Sonora.
 The last four weeks of her illness were spent under the careful attention of the physicians at the German Hospital, and with the assistance of Mayor Phelan and other kindly inclined citizens of this city she wanted for nothing that would make her convalescence easier. Before leaving she addressed letter to the Mayor, ask ing him to extend her thanks to all the many San Franciscans who had treated her kindly during her illness.

What One woman's Vanity Cost Her.

A curious story comes from Monte Car To, the heroine of which has, says the Paris correspondent of the Daily TeIe- graph, lost large sum through excusa- : ble feminine vanity. She entered the Sale while former friend and protector of hers was winning in a sweeping style that seemed destined to break the bank. T am so glad to see you here, Prince, and in such luck, too,' she exclaimed to win, for you are now in the vein..'' The Prince generously placed a pile of gold louis before the vivacious lady. whose beauty had successfully defied the effects of thirty-six winters, and said, Put it all on the number of your years and reap a golden harvest" The lady re. f1ected, hesitated, and then placed it on pier sang out, "Thirty-six red wins" The lady muttered, "Ah, mon Dieu; thirty six is exactly my age" and fainted on the spot.

Track Notes.

The judges suspended Lester Reiff for his ride on Joe Ullman.

 Quite a number of the books were touched up over the win of Olinthus. Jack Atkins was a winner to the extent of 5000. Several others not numbered among the regulars also took some coin away from the ring.
 Eighteen books laid prices. Caesar Young is again taking a rest. Likewise Willie Applegate

Personal sureties onlu

. Mayor Phelan has declined to accept bonds from any of the newly elected county officials that are not secured by personal sureties. The paper of the surety companies will not be accepted. Mayor Phelan's objections are not based on his own personal opinions but upon a recently discovered clause in the county government act that prohibits the ac- ceptance of any but personal sureties on county bonds, and he has perforce been obliged to send notice out to that effect

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

Richmond played a game with Hartford
yesterday afternoon, but Hartford did not
play with Richmond. The Nutmeg lads
made no effort whatever to win
the game, and Richmond naturally
took it I'm a walk. The contest
If it can be dignifed as such
was one-sided from start TO finish, ard
exceedingly tame. Vickery was in the
box to toss for the Co-operatves, but he
threw the ball regardless OF curves or
speed, and paid no attention to whether
a man was at the bat or not.
IN the first part Of the game. Vickery
registered a prodigious kick against a
decision Of Jake Wells who was UNI
piring by request Of the visitors, no regu-
lar umpire having shown mp. and he
was in a bad humor thereafter. Arlie
Latham tried TO cheer him up and jolly
him along. but he merely pouted Ike a
woman and sulked through with the
game.
THE PROFESSOR TWIRLED.
Lever was in for Richmond, ind the
old man was in fine form. lie kept the
Hartford lads guessing all the time, and
besides doing frst-class work IN the box,
he pounded out two doubles with the bat.
Both pitchers were given excellent sup
port. and the locals made every move
count The visitors might have done so,
too, but for the bad behavior Of Nickcry.
The sulky tWlrler looked big enough 10
know better, but he acted ike n child,
nevertheless. and destroyed all interest
that might have been in the game.
Richmond started her run-getting in
the second inning, and kept it up pretty
much all through the game. All kinds Of
long doubles were made off Vickery With
the greatest ease. and singles followed
each other In quick succession. Hartford
tried TO do great things with the stick,
but the best she could DO was TO score
one run. She made a number Of hits, but
Professor Lever saw TO it tnat these
were well scattered. and they mad but
poor result The score which follows
shows all the details of the play:
