NAPAMAX SCORED IN THE
STAKE EVENT.
A Large Turnout at Oakland Track.
Favorites Buried in Mud-The
Disgraceful Showing Made
By Mamie G.

Glimmers of welcome sunshine, heavy
showers of rain, a rainbow radiant with
a hundred colors and a great throng of
people uShered in the new year of racing
at Oakland track. The card offered by
the jockey club over the bay was an es-
pecially attractive one in its original en-
tirety, but it was marred by the privl-
lege of scratching. The first bunch of
two year old baby racers was to face the
barrier and the Baldwin Hotel handicap
was down for decision; so there is little
wonder that it was worth ones life to
purchase a ferry ticket at the foot Of
Market street.
The going was splashy and the way of
the talent was a rough one. NapamaX,
a l to chance, and Miss Marion, against
which TO 5 was obtainable, were the
winning choices.
The contest for the Baldwin Hotel hand
leap stakes, over one mile, was no race at
all. With nothing to beat, Napamax
went out 1 to 2 favorite, and actually
rolled in. HohenZollern, poor mud run
ner, took the place from Olinthus.
Master Johnny Reiff had the honor Of
plotting the first two year old to victory.
He sat astride Nina, lilly by Patriot
from Imp. Remembrance, and at odds of
30 and 40 to l, got the decision from Yel
low Tail by short head. The latter,
was the loudest tip of the day, going to
the post an even money favorite.
The opening scramble for maiden three
year olds went to the 10 to 1 shot, The
Miller. The outsider, quite extensively
backed, was sent away in front and was
never bothered. Master Lee, the favor
ite, secured the place, half a length be-
fore Maud Gnagi
Nearly all the smart ones, wearing dec
orations on their breasts, backed Free
Lady to win the second num~er, a six
furlong sprint. The owners of Dunois
and Midlight obngingly scratched, and
then Magrane,s filly wouldn't do. Away
first after a long, tiresome delay at the
post, that ,disgusted everybody, she Lasted
TO the paddock gate and then "blew up"
Piggott there got up with the to l shot,
Highland Ball, and beat Zamar, the fa-

a bang up third.

RAIN POSTPONED THE MEET.
San Jose Cycle Races Will Be Held
Next Sunday.

The big bicycle meet that was to have
been held yesterday at San Jose had to
be postponed until next Sunday owing to
the rain. Although the weather here in
the forenoon was clearing, down there
there were still occasional showers, and
the Garden City Club, which was conduct
Ing the event, thought it best to await a
more favorable day. Should it rain next
Sunday the meet will go over for another
week. The same entries, handicaps and
match races will stand for the postponed
date, and the riders will have the added
benefit of another weeks training.
Joe Sylvester and G. NJ. (''Bunt) Smith
of the Bay City Wheelmen rode what is
believed to be the first century maze in
California for 1899 They left the club
house on Golden Gate avenue at midnight
on Saturday, and finished in Alameda at
6 o'clock /sharp on Sunday morning, thus
making their net time for the 100 miles
eight hours. They covered the official re-
lay course of the Associated Cycling Clubs
and were checked at various places en-
route, so that the ride and record are au-
thentic.
The men had a stiff south wind to buck
against the first half of their journey to-
ward San Jose, but on the return trip on
the Oakland side it was at their backs
and helped them materially on the dreary
grind homeward. Under the conditions
the record made is particularly mer-

SAN JOSE, Jan. 2.-Hares and dogs ran

LIVERPOOL SILVER MEDAL WON

S. L. Abbott Jr. Took the Gold Medal
and the Special Prize for Best
Net Score at Thirty-Six
Holes.

1t had been intended to hold yesterday,
beginning at 1920 a. m, a nine-hole
scratch game between members of the
Oakland Golf Club, the teams to be
chosen by w. D. Johnson and p. E.
Bowles from players present at the links
at the time. The prize for the winning
team was to have been a luncheon given
by the losers at 1880 p m. Such was
the plan proposed, but the uncertainty Of
the weather kept so many players away
from the links that the game was aban-
doned. Some few enthusiasts, however,
made round or two.
At the Preside the San Francisco Golf
Club had two important competitions-for
the Liverpool gold medal and for the
Liverpool silver medal. The gold medal

GALLAGHER's TRAGIC DEATH.
The Police Unable to Find a Witness
to the Murder.

The police have not yet succeeded in
finding an eyewitness to the murder of
Jim Gallagher, the ex-priZe fighter who
was shot and killed in a saloon at 113
O'Farrell street early Sunday morning.
Mike Flynn, who is supposed to have fired
the fatal shot, is still detained at the
City Prison. 1t is likely that he will be
formally charged with the murder to-day.
Dave Connors, alias Harry Raymond, who
1t was said was an eyewitness to the
shooting, was found yesterday by Detec-

than is the avoidance OF the necessity Of
stopping at meeting points. The longer
and heavier the freight train that one
locomotive and one train crew can
handle the greater IL the net earning
capacity OF the road. In thus seeking
profits of operation the Des Moines
river crossing suggests why in many
cases the old line is not the best line.
That crossing was built low, because
such construction was cheaper; and
now 1t is being built high, because such
construction is more favorable for traf-
fic. The pioneer railroad builders
sought the cheapest route to build over;
and the modern rebuilders seek the best
route to operate over. 1t is the Skunk
river crossing and the grade east of
Colo that are the serious matter with
the present line from Ontario to State
Center: and 1t is the best method OF
avoiding these distractions that the
Northwestern engineers are seeking. 1t
may be assumed that they would prefer
to solve this difficulty in accordance
with the wishes of the patrons of the
road; but 1t can hardly be doubted that
they propose also to solve it in accord
|ance with the best interests OF the
|road."

and the leaving of Nevada and several
other towns mile or two from the line.
the Nevada Representative says:
Along the main line between Ontario
and Boone the work of doubling the
track may be observed form the car
window. Not only is second track
TO be laid, but the grade of the roadbed
is being materially altered, being low
cred in some places, raised in others
and generally brought to a level So
material are these alterations of grade
that when the new track shall be ready
it will be necessary to turn the entire
traffic onto it and then largely to re-
build the old track. The work which is
being done here is also being done be-
tween State Center and Tama, at the
last of which points the present double
track ends.
THE improvements to be made be-
tween Ontario and State Center are not
vet determined upon. The editor had
| the fortune to meet upon the train the
engineer in charge of the double track
construction upon this division and
| from him learned that the question of
reconstructing the old line or of build
ling new one is yet to be settled. 1t
Is the survey for this possible new line
that has been run through the best
residence part of Ames and along the
township line north of Nevada. 1t will
be made the basis of estimates, and it
will undoubtedly be locally objected to
| in Ames because of the damage to
property, and in Nevada because of the
distance which 1t will be necessary to
travel to get to the through trains.
There need be no apprehension here,
however, that the present line will be
abandoned, for the railroad years ago
accepted the countys swamp land
grant upon condition of maintaining a
depot within thousand yards Of the
court house.
THE general purpose for which the
Northwestern Is spending millions in
the betterment of its line is to effect the
greatest possible economy in the hand

grades and curves that limit the capac-
lily Of locomotives is no less an object
