Special Dispatch to The Call.

Los ANGELES, July 2-The threat
made yesterday by Colonel F. D. Black.
proprietor of the cOursing grounds at Ag-
ricultural Park, that he would run the
hares to-day in the face of all opposition
was, IN the presence of thousands of pa
irons, carried to a successful conclusion
to-day. The more determined attitude of
Black arose from the orders given to
Chief of Police Glass yesterday afternoon
by Mayor Fred. Eaton, instructing him
20 arrest every man selling pools and ev-
cry man who in any manner took active
part in the coursing programme. The or
der went further, as it commanded the
Chief of Police to use the entire police of
the city to have the law enforced and the
gambling feature suppressed
Colonel Black early this morning threw
open the gates, and, as admission was
free crowds entered the park enclosure.
The first hare was slipped at u:30 o'clock
above the plaudits OF the crowd. Then
Police Sergeant Smith invested in some
pool tickets. and his action was followed
by the arrest Of booksellers Fred. Blake,
Tom Harritv and e K. Kane. They were
taken to the Police Station and released
on 500 cash bail each.
Another crowd of booksellers took their
places and the game proceeded unmo-
Tested until the first trio returned from
the station, when arrests of the second In
stallment of booksellers followed. This
was to test the poolselling feature. Later
II. Peterson, the slipper; f. d. Black, the
proprietor, and Edward Canavan, slip
per, were arrested on a charge of cruelty
to animals They were released on 500
cash bail each
The Association for the prevention Of
cruelty TO animals tonight is exceedingly
Wroth as it insists that Glass did not use
force to close the game, that Black in de-
1iance of law sold pools and that Mayor
Eaton will, by his own instructions, be
compelled to call Glass to account for dis
obedience of orders

SCULLERS AND SAILORS TAKE PART
IN THE INDEPENDENCE DAY SPORTS

"HE aquatic part Of the Fourth or
July celebration was held yesterday,
and was highly successful. Mission
Street Wharf No. and the Howard
and Folsom street wharVes were
crowded with spectators viewing with
much interest the barge and skift races

teresting contests.
The first item on the programme was
the junior outraged slliff race. for which
there were four entries. NJ. j. Breen Of
the South Ends took the inside station,
nearest to the wharves, George Lewis OF
the Alamedas had the inside center po-
sition Warner Lubbock of the Alamedas
was next to the outside and George Col
lopv of the Pioneers had outside place.
Breen secured the best of the start. At
Folsom street wharf w. Lubbock retired.
Lewis turned the stake first. and NJ.
Breen and Collopy a little later. When
half way home Breen's left arm gave
out and he retired, leaving Lewis and
Collopy to finish. Collopy being farther
out was helped by the tide, but Lewis
stuck gamely to his work and rowed

WITH BAT AND BALL.
Pacific CricketerS Are Beaten
by Alan edas by a Narrow
Margin.

The Pacific Cricketers seem to be pur-
sued by a demon of ill-luck. They had 121
runs to make yesterday to beat the Ala
media team, and though they had OBJ
tained 109 of these when the fifth wicket
fell, they were all out for III, or four less
than the required number. This result
was largely due to the fact of ]. Myers
getting unfortunately run out, when he
was well set and scoring freely, and
partly also to the fact that the team was
two men short
The Alameda men went first to the bat,
G. j. Baugh being top scorer with 35
Sewell bowled quite successfully, taking
wickets at a cost of about IL runs
apiece. Coles took wicIzets for 81 runs
c. Smmonds scored 50, not out for the Pa
cifics, but he received little help except
from ]. Myers, who made o. and F.
Sewell, who contributed 13. The full
scores are given below:

Tobacco Culture in Cuba.

General Davis of the United States
forces in Cuba, is quoted in Harper's
Weekly as saying, with reference to
the country around Pinar del Rio:
arhe richness Of this region almost
surpasses belief. I'know Of no other
place in the world where a man can
prosper with 80 little effort as he can
here. Take that man out there. Give
him a hoe and a machete and beans
and potatoes enough to last three Of
four months and by cultivating two
acres of tobacco he can clear $3.50
in 80 days, having started with moth.
ing but his tools, seed and a few dol.
lars worth Of food. He and his wife
may not have more than two gar
ments apiece; his children may have
no clothes at all. With his machete
he will build himself hut, with his
hoe he will raise tobacco and in 90
days he will be we'll of. t.,
"He can raise two such crops in q
year. In two years he can afford TO
hire others to work for him, and in
three years il he chooses he can be q
rich man for man in his station.
Where else in tire world can this be
done? I say it is mavelous."

Exports of Wheat Flour.

The miQers of the United States
have made their greatest record in
the fiscal year of 1899. While it
ID true that wheat, corn, oats, corn
meal, rye, and in fact all other lines
OF breadstutfs show reduction in
expectation on account of the de-
crease in the demand abroad, flour
alone shows an increase which is a
phenomenal one. For the fiscal
year the total expectation Of -four is
over 100000 barrels, representing
over 100000 bushels of wheat. The
expectation of -four from the United
States has made it's chief develop
ment since 1875. Prior to that date
American millers follwed the old
methods Of manufacturing flour, and
the European millers we're expe1.
menting with and bringing to sue
cess the modern roller mill methods.
AS result the Foreign flour trade OF
the United States met with serious
reverses during the period from 1850
to 1875, the European consumers pre-
ferring to buy their wheat and make
1t into -four with their roller process.
In 1854 according to an American
miller, we sent 1,846,OO0 barrels OF
flour to Great Britain alone, while in
1863 only 100000 barrels we're sent to
all Europe. During the period of
1925 to 1880 over 80 per cent of the
wheat and flour exports was flour;
in the five years of 1870 to 1875 only
about u per cent of the wheat and
flour exports was in the form of flour.
In 1878 the expectation of wheat flour
was 1878, 128 barrels In 1880 it was
almost double. In 1885 it was nearly
100000 and in 1895 it had risen to
l5,268,892 while in 1899 the figures
were 18.3O0,00G barrels. This ia a
most gratifying increase and it is in
the line of our success in the
expectation OF manufactured articles.
1t is especially pleasing to note the
quantity OF flour sent to the Orient:
in 1889. 37S,634 barrels were sent to
Hong Kong, and in 1899 over 1.OO0,-
OOO. Germany is also becoming
good customer for flour and we are
now sending 100000 barrels there
against $4,000 ten years ago. The
Netherlands are also taking 100000
barrels now, an increase of 100000 in
ten years. To the United Kingdom
our exports in 1859 we're 5,271,344
barrels and in in 1899 they will e1-
coed 100000. That -four exports
should continue to increase in the
face OF the reduction of our exports
in the line Of other bread stuffs is
especially gratifying to those inter.
ested in seeing American labor par
ticipate as much as possible in the
profits Of American foreign trade.

Names Of Some ofthe Principal Brands
Sold I'm this Vicinity.
The recent discussion in the pap
ers Of the effect upon the human sys-
tenn Of food made with alum baking
powders and the opinions that have
been published from noted scientists
to the effect that such powders rem.
der the food unwholesome, have
caused numerous inquiries for the
names of the various alum powders.
The following list Of baxmg pow
ders containing alum is made I'D
from the reports of State Chemists,
Food Commissions, or other reliable
authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum:
n. o.: Contains Alum.
Jacques Mfg. Co., Chicago.
CALUMET. ..... Contains Alum,
Calumet Baking Powder Co., Chicago
HUME .............C Contains Alum
Home Baking Powder Co., San Francisco
BEE-HlVE.. $500. Contains Alum.
Washington Mfg. Co., San Francisco.
CLOVER LEAF. .. Contains Alum.
Pacific Mfg. Co., Los Angeles.
In addition to these it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up
for the grocer and his name put upon
the labels by manufacturers of alum
powders in San Francisco and else
where. The manufacturers, 1t is
said, find their efforts to market their
goods in this way greatly aided by
the ambition of the grocer to sell a
powder with his own name upon the
label, especially when the grocer can
make an abnormal profit upon it..
Many grocers, doubtless do not know
that the powders they are thus push
ing are alum powders which would
be actually contreband in many Sec
tons il sold without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking pow
ders in the market. They are con-
stantly appearing in all sorts of dis.
guises, under all kinds Of cognomens,
and at all kinds of prices, oven as
low as five and ten cents a pound.
They can be avoided, however, by
the housekeeper who will bear in
mind that all baking powders sold at
twenty-five cents or less per pound
are liable to contain alum, as pure
cream OF tartar baking powders can
not be produced at anything like this
price.
