DONOVAN OUT TEN SECONDS
RUNS SCORED BY SACRAMENTO
DUE TO ERRORS

eff we don't get there to-day, why, to-
morrow will do" was the bacillus that
afflicted the Oakland and Sacramento
teams yesterday. 1t was easy going for
the men across the bay and they rubbed
1t into the Senators while the band played
a tune called to 2.
The weather was not propitious for
good baseball and perhaps this is the rea-
son for the snail-lile pace set at the be
ginning and sustained until the end. Had
Schmeer not made an error in the hrst
inning Sacramento would have had
score of ciphers. Two men were out and
Schmeer threw wild to first. After this
two runs were made by the Senators,
their only naturalization during the
game.

noticed that the yacht splaShed more
water in travelling to-day than on her

At Cowes the Shamrock passed di-

contrast was striking. The Prince or

fresh from her racing at Kiel.
Probably you will receive news that
the Shamrock had an accident on her
spin to-day. The report originated at
Cowes, and is to the effect that the
Shamrock carried away her mainsail-
A member of the Royal Thames Yacht
Club, whom I met in Cowes this after
noon, was the center of attraction He
asserted that in looking with tele-
scope from the club window he distinct
ly saw the peak gaff of the Shamrock
and then the whole mainsail give way.
In few minutes all Cowes was talk
ing about the catastrophe. Many
persons said, II told you so; 1 knew
her rigging was too light" etc. The
news was telegraphed and appears
here in large type in the evening pa
pers, with large headings, 'Mishap in
the Solent. Mainsail Carried Away"
OF course all that was terrible. Peo-
pie began discussing whether the hull
had not been damaged. as of course it
would have been had the halyards
given way. The truth is nothing hap
pened at all. Nothing gave way. The
Shamrock had no accident of any kind.

The sport at Union Park was provided
by the rundown of the reserve stake, for
which forty-eight entries were received
The hares ran well, at times proving too
fleet of foot for the fastest dogs. The
latter ran true to form, the favorites,
with few exceptions, carrying off the
honors. One of the best courses of the
day was between st. Elmo and Madge
Wildfire, the former winning Silent
Treasure and Mialmo also showed great
sport in their meeting, Mlalmo winning
after a good course.
The only shortenders to raise flag
during the afternoon were Pretenoer,
Maid Of Erin and Magic.
The reopening of lngles!de had It's Ell
feet on the attendance, as the owners ana
handlers running dogs there have helped
swell the number OF spectators at Union no

as pacemakers in bicycle races appar-
emily have come 10 stay. On the track
at Manhattan Beach this afternoon
three noisy machines, whose quick-re-
curing. explosions of gasoline reminded
one strongly of Fourth Of July cele-
bration, cut out pace for twenty-five
miles at a rate of about thirty three
miles to the hour. The middle-distance
riders, trailing these machines, were in
competition for purse of $1,000 and
a percentage of the gate receipts, but
the four thousand spectators almost
overlooked the performances Gf the
principals in their eagerneSS to follow
the trail of the motors. Chiefly because
his petroleum quadruplet possessed
more speed than the naphtha tandems
of his rivals Harry" Elkes," admit
tedIy the cleverest pace follower in
America, finished first in the race by
margin of a half-mile over Burns
Pierce and of two miles over Earl
Stevens. His time for the journey was
45:11 3-5, the best time made behind
motor pace in this country.
Throughout the contest the actions of
the motor machines were satisfactory
to the riders and to the spectators.
though undoubtedly both Pierce and
Stevens would have pressed Elkes
closer at the finish had they been paced
by "Quads' instead of by tandems The
only faltering on the part of any of the
machines occurred near the end of the
fourteenth mile, when the motor of the
four-seater ceased its work because of
lack of fuel. It's place was taken by a
tandem, which was in readiness in case
of accident.
Pierce rode in form that would have
been considered good in any other COM
pany but that of Elkes. Up to ten miles
he made an interesting race, frequently
closing on the leader and sometimes
passing him, only to be repassed. For a
brief third of a mile, ending at the five
miles, he held the lead and then began
to gradually fall away. After the tenth
mile he lost ground more rapidly. Ste
vens, disappointed by his inability to
make use of C. w. Miller's new French
tandem. was paced by the machine
brought over from Europe by Henri
Fournier year ago. He followed his
pace closely, but was never a factor in
the contest.

POOL ORDER IS KILLED
Mayor Phelan Vetoes Ingle-

Mayor Phelan has vetoed the order re-
Gently passed by the Board of Super
vsors which so amended the anti-pool
selling law as to permit pool selling at all
coursing parks. The measure, although
general in it's scope, was intended for <he
relief of the Ingleside Coursing Associa-
tion which was forced to suspend when
the ordinance which closed the race track
went into effect. Mayor Phelan's objec-
tions to the measure are stated in his
message of disapproval; which is as fol-
lows:
SAN FRANCISCO, July IL, 1899.
To the Honorable, the Board of Su-
pervisors of the City and County of
San Francisco-Gentlemen 1 here
with return to you. without my ap-
proval. Order No. 204, providing for
pool selling and bookmaEing at couEs-
Ing parks. The reason for my objec-
ton is that your honorable board has
forbidden by Order No. 174, which this
purports to in part repeal, pool selling
and bookmaking on all racing tracks
and coursing parks; and by now dis
eliminating you seek to confer bene-
fits and immunities on one class of
citizens to the exclusion of another,
which is contrary to law. If you legal
ize gambling you cannot make the
privilege exclusive. Respectfully.
Mayor.
1t is said an attempt will be made to
have the order passed over the Mayor s
veto but it is not thought that enough
votes can be secured to do So

On account of the Fourth of July the
regular weekly meeting of st. Paul Car
penters' Union No. 81 was held last even
ing in Hall No 5, Assembly rooms, in
stead of tonight, the usual time. The
union now numbers 40 members. There
were seventeen applications for new
membership passed upon favorably, but
only four were initiated last evening, as
follows: ]. F. Saivge, c. A. Weyje; Ole
Khalert and L. Marsinsh. Receipts Of
the evening, $19; expenses, $104SO. The
official organ of the organization, The
Carpenters published at Philadelphia,
was received last night and copies dis
tributed among the members. From this
Journal it is learned that during the past
three months forty-six new unions have
been chartered in the United States, and
a gain of 6,485 members in good standing
since Feb. l. On that date there were
$4,000 beneficial members, and on June l,
the membership increased to Bias bene-
fetal members. In April the gain was
2,663 members, and in May 3,2O5. The
prospects are still better for a larger in

LESS WORK TO BE DONE.
Light Season This for the Associated
Charities.

At the monthly meeting of the Associat-
ed Charities Secretary A w. Gutridge
made the following report:
During the three months ending June
81 we investigated the condition of 1856
applicants for relief This is the smallest
number of Investigations made by this
office in any quarter year since the tinan-
cial depression of 1893 OF these "a
were new cases. During the corresponding
months last year the figures were los and
81, compared with 126 and 1874 the wear
previous.
The department of provident savings
continues on its successful way. The num-
Der OF depositorS now numbers nearly
5000, and the sale of STAMPS for the
quarter was over so per cent better than
for the corresponding quarter of last wear
The Withdrawals for the quarter have
however, exceeded the sales by almost
$S5. This shows healthy conditions as
these are the months when much monev
is needed for legitimate purposes About
four months ago we made application
to the board of school inspectors TO he
allowed to place the fund in all the
schools whose principals desired its in
PRODUCTION. From what I learned nre-
vious to the meeting of the board / felt
sure that such permission would be grant,
ed, but the effort to pass the resolution
granting us the permission desired failed
cessful operation in the schools into
which it had been introduced previously.
A few days ago Miss Hanson left the
city to take a special course in Chicago
university. After consulting with few
of the members of this board 1 assigned
Mrs. Parker to do the provident fund
work during Miss Hanson's absence
which will be about two months.
The fresh air work which has been done
with much success by the st. Paul COM
mons under Miss Hansons supervision
for the past two seasons cannot be done
by that institution this year. 1 have part
ly arranged to have the Associated Chart
ties do something in this line so that there
may be no lapse in a charity SO much
