Large Attendance and Lively Bet
ting at Oakland-Four Favorites
Dethroned-Ailyar Again
Wins Galloping.

The attractive card drew an old-fash-
ioned crowd to Oakland track yesterday,
and the layers of odds were highly elated
al the play AS four of the six favorites
were knocked down, the booking frater-
nifty had all the best of the argument.
The Flood handicap at one and a half
miles for three-year-old was the feature
of the afternoons sport, and resulted in
lucky win for the favOrite, Merops, rid
den by Joe Piggott. The son of Brutus
was assigned liz pounds and ruled to
favorite. Perhaps just as much money
went in on the ninety-sx FOUNDER, Ulm,
with the irrational McNichols in the sad
die. If the latter rider is honest he should
be set down for incompetency. Charles
Fink, owner of Ulm, gave McNichols Or
ders to make every post a winning one.
While the field was travelling down the
back stretch at snaiPs pace the gay
youth allowed three horses to pass him.
Once the stretch was reached he began to
ride again, and in a Furnishing drive was
beaten out but a head by the favorite in
2:361k. Olinthus, packing 116 pounds, was
third. Gauntlet, the second choice, ran
disappointingly.
In the opening two-year-old scramble
Bamboulia, the Puryear D colt, more than
turned the tables on Flush of Gold. The
latter filly closed favorite, but tired long
before the wire was reached finishing
third. Reiff, on Bamboulia, seemed a big
Improvement over Shields, for the colt led
May Gertrude out a length in :4S4&. Six
to / was laid against the winner, and he
went begging in the ring.
The Duke & Wishard cast-off Heigh Ho
was installed a lukewarm choice for the
sprint next decided but Reim took mat
ters altogether too easy the first part and
was led over the line by Prompto, TO
shot, with Jones in the saddle. Sly came
from seventh position in the stretch. fin
ishing third Flora Hawk led to the
stretch, where she blew up"
Corrigan'S mare Daisy f ruled an odds
on choice for the mile and a furlong sell
ing run, and at odds of 2 to won hands
down from Grady. Jennie Reid, with
Loullier up, ran a close third.
The Cambridge stables wonder, Crom-
well, had everybody guessing when the
mile and a sixteenth event came along.
The chestnut horse closed favorite, and
while he did not bleed failed to show an
atom of speed even with Bullman on his
back. Piggott with the leg up on Eddie
Jones, assumed the front position in the
stretch and in a fierce drive with Castake
and Potente gained the verdict by head
in 1:474.
Duke & Wishard's Ailyar, second choice
in the ring, made a scamper of the free
handicap over six furlongs. The Baldwin
entry, La Goleta, had first call in the bet

served.

he introduced ]. j. Lerman, the chair

the hospitality of Stanford Parlor. intro
duced Sheriff Henry S. Martin as the
master of ceremonies.
The first number was by the Stanford
University Glee Club, which rendered sew
eral choice selections; Daniel Z. Hanlon
favored with limitations of Henry Irving,
Henry James and John Mccullough; then
William J. O'Brien the sweet singer, rem
dered several vocal selections; 7. q. Eg-
CERT amused the audience with stories
and songs; the Frank Coffin Quartet en-
tertaned with choice selections, after
which Marshall p. Wilder of the Orpheum
kept the audience in d roar for a quarter
of an hour. Miss Hazel gave an eXhibi-
ton of fancy dancing; Ogilvie and Lloyd
sang duets; Donald de V. Graham sang
ballads; A. Dayton sang coon songs and
Louis Steiger. gave limitations of Chinese
singers. In the second part there was a
cakewalk, musical selections by the Stan

lections by Major A. A. Borlini, John Des-
mond and w. H. Brown, banjo duet by
the Howard brothers, club-swinging by
members of the Olympic Club and con-
tributions by artists from the local the
aters after the places of amusement
closed.
At the close of the programme specia
committee served pipes, tobacco and
sandwiches and it was near midnight
when the jinks was closed in due form
and with three cheers for the enter
tainers.

Opponent, $625, j. Coffey. Mat Hogan
brought SIPS and Orion $3.50, the latter also
going to the nod of Corrigan.
Starter Jim Caldwell nearly experienced
an attack of acute heart failure yester-
day. While looking for the best price in
the ring some one lifted his chronom-

Forcy of the Pinkerton Agency and
walked about in a state bordering on
collapse until it was discovered that
Charley Quinn had taken the timer in a
joke.

parting for the East, he presented Bliss
Rucker to Charley Weber, the ex-jockey.

terday he telegraphed the California
Jockey Club to send him the purse.

THAT coURsING CHALLENGE.
The Owner of the Greyhound Motto
Declares That He Has Been
Grossly MisrepreSented.

Last Tuesday a challenge appeared IN
The Call purporting to have come from
the hand of Frank A. McComb of West
Side. who is the owner of the greyhound
Motto. The fact that the name of Mr..
McConb was wrongly spelled and that the
intention of the writer was evidently to
iniIre the good standing in which Mr..
McComb is held by the Union Coursing
Park Association is in itself an evidence
of guilt on the part of the unscrupulous
and malicious person who wrote the arti-
Gle in question. 1t is pleasing to chronicle,
however, that neither Mr.. McComb nor
the Union Park management Will feel IN
the slightest the sting that was INTENDED
bY the VenOmOuS writer to cause PAIN and
injury to the parties it was aimed at.
The following letter in contradiction to
the challenge which was received sup
posedly from the owner OF Motto speaks
for itself: o.,
WEST SIDE, April 20, 1899.

One of the most famous pairs OF
gloves known to the world is the pair
worn by Mary Queen of Scots on tine
morning of her execution, February,
1887, which she presented toa gentle
man of the Dayrell family, who was in
attendance upon her at Fotheringay
Castle. These are of generous pro-
portions, and are described as being
made of q light, cool, %buif-colored
leather, the elaborate embroidery of
the gauntlet being worked with silver
wire and silk of various colors. The
roses are of pale and dark blue, and
two shades OF very pale crimson. The
foliage represents trees, and is worked
in green. A bird in flight, with a
long tail, figures conspicuously among
the work. That part of the glove
which forms the gauntlet is lined with
crimson satin, a narrow band being
turned outward as a binding to the
gauntlet, on to which is sewn the gold
fringe or lace, on the points OF which
are fastened groups of small pendant
steel or silver spangles. The opening
at the side of the gauntlet is connect
ed by two broad bands of crimson silk,
faded nov almost to a pale pink color,
and each band is decorated with
pieces of furnished silver lace on both
sides. Chicago Record.

The American Horse Trade.

The trade in American horses with
South America can be said only to have
begun, amounting last year to only
twenty-one horses, while five times as
many were sent to Africa and more
than ten times as many to Asiatic
countries. For American horses there
would appear to be an assured market
in the West Indies since the restora-
ton of peace in Cuba, for during the
fiscal year ending July l, 1897, nearly
5000 American horses were shipped to
these islands, and the decline in the
year succeeding is ascribed generally
to the unsettled condition of affairs in
Cuba and to the practically enforced
abandonment OF agricultural opera
tons or many parts of the island.
Temporarily, too, n number Of horses
were withdrawnfrom agricultural pur-
suits for the requirements of the
Cuban cavalry, and some, too, were
purchased for the needs of the Span
ish cavalry, and since the restoration
of peace in Cuba this demand will
have to be made up by importations
from the United States. But to
Mexico as q permanent and enlarging
market for American horses dealers in
this country look chiefly, and by the
agricultural census Of last year it was
shown that there are now more horses
in Texas than in any other American
State, the total number being 1,200,-
600. Illinois and Iowa follow Texas
in the order named.-New York Sun.
