The entertan- ment of May 4 consists of a dramatic performance under the management and direction of Leo Cooper and will cer- tainly provide a pleasant and enjoyable evenings entertainment. Tickets are for sale at the rooms of the society. 10 Maze building, and by the members of the so- ciety.

sHARKEY STILL SUFFERS.
His Physicians Will Not Be Able to Give a Definite Opin-
 ion Until Monday.

Tommy Mcdonald, Sharkey's manager, arrived from Vallejo last evening and stated that Sharkey is still suffering from the severe strain received while attempt ing to lift a bale of hay few days ago. Drs Anderson and Hogan, who are at tending the fighter, will not be able to give q, definite opinion as to whether or not their patient will be able to go ahead with his match on May until next Monday, as he seems to be recovering sluwly.
 It Tom has recovered sufficiently to go on with his training by that time he will finish his work at the Seal Rock House, where two extra trainers, F. McGra1th and Henry Baker.

AGAIN FELL TO
 JOE ULLMAN Second Tim e the Corrigan Horse Dumped the
 Talent. Beaten Out Cleverly in the Mile Event by Ostler
 Joe.
Torsida Too Fast for Fonsovannah Potentate Fina fly Took
 Purse.

Earlier in the meeting, Joe Ullman, the Riley gelding in the Corrigan stable, was supposed to be tramping around in plas- ter of paris casts to hold his bowed ten- dons in place, electric bandages and such paraphernalia- Of recent date he looms up as a handicap horse. Yesterday in the mile purse run at Ingleside, the Cor rigan horse was played down to to 10 favoritism to beat Ostler Joe, News gatherer and Flashlight. He did down Newsgatherer, for that uncertain factor covered four furlongs and gracefully re- tired. Clayton on Ullman hit the stretch in front with confidence sticking out of them both on all corners. Hennessy went to work on Ostler Joe, and in a drive reached the wire length before the fav- orite in 1:414. It was a costly affair to followers of the green with white sash.
 Favorites again made an even break of 1t, taking three purses. Hennessy carried away the riding honors by piloting two winners.
 After behaving very unladylike at the post. Sardonic, the favorite for the first event, got away with a rush, and racing San Antonio to a standstill the first half mile, won easing up, covering the seven furlongs in 1:29A. Rio Frio, a 150 to 1 chance, was third, five lengths behind San Antonio.
 Shields & Co., furnished the favorite for the five and a half furlong sprint which followed in Potentate. The bay horse was not in great demand at that. reced- ing in the betting from to to twos. He overhauled Plumeria in the stretch, and ridden out at the wire, won by less than length from the 20 to 1 shot Sten- tor. Plumeria stopped to nothing.
 The finish to the five furlong scramble for 2-year-olds was a very close Ole, Milt Young, the favorite, getting the de- cision from Primavera by a scant mar gin. Lonnie Clayton rode the winner and had slightly the best of Ames when 1t came to a drive. Mossbrae, the second choice, with Piggott up, was a good third.
 The mile run, fourth on the card, was declared off and a cheap affair at five and half furlongs for maidens substi- tuted. When the odds were posted Tempse was quickly played down from fours to even money, but later receded to 3 to l. Joe Levy went to the post mild l3 to favorite. In a drive Piggott landed Tempse first, half a length ahead of TeXarkana, with the favorite third.
 "Daggie" Smiths good mare Torsida opened favorite for the final six furlong run, but the crowd preferred Fonsovan- nah, and she receded to 2 to l. The lat ter was first as the head of the stretch was reached. but at this point Thorpe shook Torsida up, and assuming the lead the mare won easily. In a drive Fon- savannah beat Glorian a neck for the place.

OLYMPIC MEMBERS
 FOOLED AGAIN Mexican Pete Surprised Only Those Who Did Not
 Know. Jeffries Had Nice Picnic and Referee Wand Saved
 Life.

The Call was not far off the mark when it said that Mexican Pete. the cham pion'' of Montana, was a "dub' of the worst kind imaginable. and that the Olympic Club showed very rank judg- ment when it matched him against Jeff ries-a powerful man who has already proven his ability as a prize-fighter.
 But this Is not the first time the club has disappointed it's members, who last evening left the big gymnasium thor oughly disgusted with the show and the men who are selected by themselves as the clubs fighting match-makers.
 Poor old Peter Jackson should never have been signed to fight Jeffries. There is not another club in America that would have been guilty of making such stupid blunder.
 But the Olympic's able-bodied match makers not satisfied with the ridicule they had been subjected to after the Jack son-Jeffries farce, actually fell into an- other mud hole when they signed Jeffries and Mexican Pete for twenty-round hippodrome. (How thankful Jeffries must be, tool
 The match-makers had seen Pete tried out before he was booked for the big game, and they expressed an opinion that he was coming man. and would give his big opponent "a hard argument"
 We'll he did in way, but not just ex- actly as the men who paid 8 had ex- pected.
 The man from Montana gave up all hope of life when he had good look at his op- ponent in fighting rig.
 An account of the fight cannot be given for the very good reason that there was no fight to report.
 Pete sheltered his dark-skinned face with his gloves each time Jeffries made an attempt to land. and although spun about like top from cuffs and pushes the Mexican kept his face and neck al. ways guarded.
 In the third round Jeffries determined to knock the spots out of Pete's guard under instructions from Captain Delaney
