Track Notes,

Satsuma was sent the Burns Handicap route. one mile and a quarter, yesterday. covering the distance in PIPE. Buck Masse was also given an airing and looks fit to give somebody s horse an argument. Candelaria went the dis tance in 2:1s Some of the trainers think the latter carried much more than his weight in the handicap calls for. Jimmy Mccormick, though. declares the colt hasn't a chance
 Despite all the talk about weights. the fled m Saturdays big stake will be a large one, and the betting will be a perplexing problem. Handicapper Brooks has shown in the past that when he takes the time he handle weight adjusting to a nicety, and it really seems as though he should make the s100O0 stake his master effort.
 Castake came out in the first after a pro- tracted vacation. and well played to finish in the attic. The gelding was evidently a bit short, and should be worth a bet next time out not outclassed.
 There much adverse criticism over the ride Charley Mackin put up on Santello. IL Ieems a strange fact that Mackln invariab bly meets with hard luck of some sort when riding | short-priced horse. He should reverse things md then people would not be given to gossip.
 From the manner in which one or two horses were ridden in the second race, Caspar could nave broken all four legs and then rolled in without danger of being defeated.
 The wise ones all got aboard Alma in the ast race. When the barrier was released Thorpe was unable to take the lead and was lut OH al the lar turn, running all chances.

 Borgia made lovely showing after his uperb exhibition in the Derby. He galloped 'or about seven furlongs and then faded away IS though race tracks were not his game.

Government Dove Cotes.

A. Carlisle, one of the most enthusiastic fanciers of homing pigeons in the State, has prepared a lon petition to be pre- sented to the large commercial bodies of this city for their indorsement. When signed it will be forwarded to Secretary of the Navy John n. Long, and will recite that the memorialists are engaged in busi- ness concerning the sea, and asking that the cote of homing pigeons now main tained by the Government at Mare Island be removed to Goat Island, in the bay of San Francisco, and also that a cote be established on the South Farallon Island. The reasons for this request are that Goat Island is situated midway between Oakland and San Francisco and can be reached in half an hour, while 1t will take at least two hours to reach the Mare Island cote in case the birds should be wanted These birds could be used for the benefit of the vast snlpping that goes and comes to this harbor. cote on the Farallon island would be of untold bene- fit in matters relating to weather and shipping particularly in the case of dis tress at sea, for the chances of observa- tion from the rocky isle are far greater than from any point along the shore

THE SAME BOARD
 WAS APPOINTED
Southern Pacific Stockholders Make No Change in
 Their Directors.
Tho Balance of Power still Swings Toward c. P. Huntington, Who
 Will Be Reelected.

The regular annual meeting of the stock holders of the Southern Pacific Company which was held yesterday, resulted in the following board of directors being elected: George Crocker, C. E. Green Thomas H. Hubbard, c. P. Huntington H. E. Huntington, J. Kruttschnitt Charles G. Lathrop. N. T. Smith, T. D. Stillman, J. C. Stubbs and Russell J. Wilson.
 The new board is the same as the old one. with the exception of c. E. Green who is simply there to represent Will Crocker. now absent in Europe, and who will resign to allow his place to De hlleo by Mir Crocker upon that gentleman return from his trip.
 The board, it will be seen, still gives the controlling interest to the Huntington faction, which is represented by i've oi the directors, not including Hubbard and Stillman, who represent the Searle stock and who may be considered as Hunting ton men. George Crocker and Green rep resent the Crocker interests, while the control in the present board are those of Charles G. Lathrop and R. J. Wilson.
 It could not be aScertained the amount of stock that was voted, but a Ialr estl- mate would place It between l,30o,UOO ana ] 800, 900 shares.
 To-day the directors will meet and elect the officers for the ensuing year. While nothing definite can be stated as to what man has been marked out for any partic- ular position, it is a foregone conclusion with the composition of the board as it is, that C. P. Huntington will have himself reelected president, and the mer who will fill the less important positions will be those whom he wishes there As there has been no rlmor of any par ticular dissatisfaction, on the part o1 Huntington, with the men who have filled the different offices for the past year it is more than probable that the same gentlemen will be reelected to fill the same positions for the ensuing twelve months.

:: The downpour of rain left the track at Oakland in bad shape. The talent, from long experience, have grown wise, how ever, and in the six events decided yes terday horses with short odds about them crossed the wire first in four in- stances.
 Miss Rowena opened favorite for the first event at five furlongs, receded In the betting and was easily beaten by Blar- ney Stone, the second choice. The first choice developed a bad streak of dog in the stretch.
 The ring laid n l against Caspar in the opening betting on the eight starterz in the mile and a sixteenth. He was ham- mered down to g to 3, and after making all the running, won without much in sS serve from Paul Pry. Thelma was close third. s
 H. L. Franks Montana-bred colt. E. Come, was sent to the post an even chance to win the four-furlong scramble for 2-year-olds. and in a false breakaway at the post ran away with Piggott. Seven was then rubbed to g to 10, and at the wire won hands down from La Fares seuse. Gold Scratch was third.
 It is quite evident that Eddie Jones, the brown Morello colt, is at home in heavy going. He held sway in the betting on the mile-and- a-furlong run for Swear olds, and, waiting on San Venado and Borgia to the stretch, assumed the front position and led Torsida past the judges by four open lengths in 1:5S12.
 Again the wise ones landed on the right one in the mile-and- -a-SiXteenth selling affair. Alvarado, with H. Martin in the saddle. made an end-to-end affair of it, winning eased up from Flashlight News gatherer, the second choice, was poor third.
 A big plunge was made on Alma to take the. final siX-furlong spin for mares. but Thorpe was unable to land her inside the money. Silver State was in front most of the way, and ridden out, downed the second choice, Lost Girl, length. Show honors went to Florinel

with the Philippines7' may come

will hold them. To our mind it
is clear that we should hold them,
BY our fighting and our victories
we have proven to the powers
that we are here and this point we
can maintain. To yield the Phil
ippines now after the threats Of
the powers would be evidence to
them that we fear them, and we
would not be able to turn a corner
without a kick. We have con-
quered and must possess.

THE JOINT INSTITUTE
OF COlored Teachers Of MOntgom-
cry and Clark Counties.

This Institute was held at the High
Street Christian church July 25 and
20 inclusive, and was conducted by
Prof. G. G. Monroe, of Owens
boro, Ky. The Institute was quite
interesting and we'll attended. The
talks given by the teachers on differ
ent subjects showed that the teachers
were up to date. The lectures given
by Attorney Henry Woodford on
civics, and DR.. Taulbee on physiol-
ogY, were full of interest and met the
highest approval of the Institute.
Prof. G.. P. Russell, Supervisor of
the colored schools of Lexington, was
present during the session and pre-
sented Mr.. Speers' method of teach
ing, which was very highly Endorsed
by the Institute.
Miss Hall, Of Kansas City, infused
new life in the teachers with one of
her interesting lectures.
Miss Mary Anderson, Superintend-
ent of Montgomery, manifested quite
an interest in the teachers. Her inter-
esting talks on all the topics showed
that she was an experienced teacher
and who merited the position for
which she was elected. The Institute
very highly Endorsed her as a County
Superintendent.
Miss Nora Wilson, Superintendent
Of Clark, came in on the last day and
gave quite an interesting talk.
Prof. Monroe's courteous manners,
lucid explanations, untiring efforts
and pronounced ability stamp him an
expert in the professorship, and
worthy the employment which we or
any other community may extend.
