last hope was gone. At that time the
talrmont Hotel was Just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
IN the construction of the building and
the hnlshlngs and furnishings of its in

destruction Of everything Infammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month

UnequaIed Entertainment Features.

UheQualeo entertainment Features.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one Of the largest, in existence. It has
one Of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu
LARRY delightful. 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings Of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are deeora-
tons by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franeiscans
are very soeiable people, and the rec
ords Of the ballroom show that il is
occupied an average Of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has. perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
Of its kind west Of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room. a hall Of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. It is
the best illustration Of a hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made Of special design, char

only in breechclouts, and very little Of
these. The breechelout, however, is
the prescribed wrestling uniform. The
portion of the cloth which winds about
the waist is Of particular use in wrest-
ling, for handhold upon it by the
opponent is most sought for. The rules
for throwing are rigid and the referee s
decision is never criticized.
The games continued all afternoon
until about four O'Clock, when the
crowd began to fade away, for it was
mealtime for the strikers at the s'soup-
Kitchen maintained on Aala lane.
Each man and woman putting in
appearance at the gate had to produce
ticket for entrance. Once inside the
person was entitled to a meal served
at long tables. The women sat in one
division with the babies and the men
in another section.

TOLSTOY PROTESTS AGAINST
PERSECUTION OF FOLLOWERS
Appeals for Punishment to Be Melted
Out to Himself, Not to His
Friends

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 17.-Count
Leo Tolstoy is again vigorously pro-
testing against the governments per-
secution of his friends and followers,
and appealing for punishment to be
meted out to himself and not to others
simply because they follow his ex-
ample and advice. His secretary, M.
Goosef, has now been arrested and
banished, ostensibly for distributing
revolutionary books, which, however,
Count Tolstoy declares were exclusive
ly his own productions.
On parting with M. Goosef, Count
Tolstoy wept-not, as he writes, out OF
pity for his secretary, knowing that
the inward peace which was his could
rot be destroyed by any external force,
but because his feelings were touched
at the sight of the grim cheerfulness
with which M. Goosef met his fate.
Only a few months ago Count Toll
stoy's great friend, M. Tchartkoff, was
banished on similar grounds, while here
in st petersburg the most depressing
effect has been produced by the unac-
countable and most imperious sup
preston of the literary fund for
mutual assistance among impoverished
writer's and men of science. At the
same time, a subsidized press organ of
the government has just declared that
Russia has not got a constitution; that,
in effect the duma does not limit
autocracy, but Is limited by the au-
tooracy. and that what was proclaimed
to the world on this head was de-
lusion and a snare.

COIN GALORE IS
WAGERED ON RACE
MONEY IN PLENTY BACKS UP
FAV0RITES
Mechanics as Well as Principals Ex-
hlbit Rolls of Greenbacks Fat
and Healthy to Wager
on Racers

If these days have been warm atmos-
pherically, they were as nothing COM
pared with the condition of the auto
mobile atmosphere prevailing about the
headquarters of the racing cars entered
for the Badly run Of Sunday morning
next.
Snudge-faced, healthy mechanics,
skilled in their trades, carried about
with them fat rolls of the coin of the
realm, and all that was necessary to
see one or more of these pulled in
minute from an inside pocket yesterday
was for an intruder to mention that
his favorite auto car would win the
race. In the twinkling of an eye would
come the remark. For how much
money? How strong do you want to
bet on that proposition?" out would
come the bank roll, and either the
would-be prognosticator of racing
events would be compelled to move on,
cover the wager or accept the alterna-
tive of being looked upon at a gutter
OF a Jaw bone defender" of his car.
1t is easy to understand that no
event has caused such a diversity of
opinion as the Baldy race of this year.
The cars entered being of the big class,
almost locomotive in type, the fast
schedules made in practice spins, and
the outrageous condition of the roads,
have added a zest to Baldys run this
year that has never been prevalent
heretofore.
The cars were not taken out of their
garages yesterday, but they had no
rest Just the same. OVeralled machin-
lists by the score were busy over their
charges, as trainers of a fighting ma
chine; motors were turning over while
wheels stood still; every click OF the
engines was timed and counted by
watchful, experienced men, whose days
are spent in doing naught else than
feeling and tempering the pulses of
these cars that are to make records
dwindle and establish history as to
what the automobile can Standard
that will be the summing up of the
Baldy climb for 1909, just what an au-
tomobfle is able to stand.
1t requires but trip over the course
to thoroughly understand what these
machines are up against, as well as the
endurance of thee drivers. The ruts
and holes and obstacles to be avoided
or overcome will make the person OBJ
serving the terrific speed of the cars
wonder how on earth man can put to-
gether parts OF machinery; make them
strong enough to hold under the strain
to which they are put in such Cruel
ing race.
But however that may be, the ready
willingness of the men who put these
parts together and assemble them into
the magnificent, powerful racers they
are shows that they have the confidence
in their handiwork, for many Of them
have wagered even their wages for a
month ahead on the outcome, backing
their favorites to the last cent they are
able to place with the stake holders
A very large amount of money is up,
generally among the dealers, and espe-
cially among the principals in this

POPE-HARTFORD MAN
COMES TO SEE RACE
Coast Factory Representative Expects
to Show All New Models for 1910
Next Week and Reports
Business Good

w. M. Phelps, coast factory repre-
sentative for the Pope Hartford COM
pany arrived Friday to see the rGce.
Phelps came direct from the factory
at Hartford, where he found much
activity and the business booming. The
output this season will be increased
to 1900 Up to September 1 the COM
pany had received orders from tho
different agents for 1925 of the sea-
sons output. Il believe we are one OF
the few factories in the United States
today able to make deliveries on the
coast We have nine carloads en-
route to our coast agents, half of
which will come to Los Angeles The
first carload for delivery in Southern
California will be here Monday and
another should follow in a week.
I'VE feel proud Of this because our
new model is distinctly a 1910 ma
chine, embracing so many improve
ments over our last years model.
Business conditions in the east are
brighter than they have been for some
time. In fact it was very much like
1906 In the big automobile centers.
From all quarters we find the demand
greater than ever before and if all
factories are finding the same con-
ditions the output will be marketed.
New York city agents are enthusi-
astic over the outlook for 1910 and in
Chicago I found the greatest effort
was to get cars. Our Chicago agent
was badly worried for fear he would
not be able to get enough cars, he
had secured so many orders.
I'm the middle west there are signs
Of prosperity. In Salt Lake the de-
mand is good and our agent there sold
his demonstrator at a premium to an
enthusiastic Pope man.
"The recent accidents on the track
have stirred up the eastern people and
there have been many Withdrawals
Our factory does not approve of track
racing on account of the danger to
the men and we advise our agents to
keep out of it, In hill climbs and road
contests we will always figure.
Endurance runs are getting popular
again in the east and 1 would advise
the Southern California dealers to
hold one this fall. They arouse much
interest among the owners and buyers
and are not expensive to the dealers"
