BRANDY WAS THE LEADER
The Sturdy Pony Captured the
Hurdle Race at Ingle
side Easily.
WAS RirDEN BY MR. BAGOT.
Schnitz First at 40 to I— Cabrillo and
Fortuna Have a Collision at
the Post.
What with polo-pony rncing with gentle
men riders in the saddle, a 40 to 1 shot
finishing in front and a collision at the
post there was no end of sport at Ingle
side yesterday.
Society smiles on pony-races, yet society
di'l not turn out very extensively yester
day to see the sturdy littie equines take i
the hurdles. "Lord" Talbot Clifton was, as
usual, the hero of tUe occasion. The
■wealthy young Englishman, who for a
year or more has been endeavoring to
teach the young California bloods who i
turn their trousers np at the bottom be
cause "it's so different, dou'cher know,"
wear a vacant-lot expression on their faces !

like rain, bow to spend their surplus cash
without boking for a double return, did
not win tae event, but he finished. There
were six starters for the run, which was a
mile and a quarter over five hurdles.
Brandy, ridden by Mr. Bagot, who went to
the post equal favorite in the betting with
Aladdin, led throughout and won eased
up ten lengths in front of Li Hung Chang,
ridden by Mr. Neave. Aladdin, piloted
by a dashing young rider with curly locks
named Mr. skinner, was third about the
same distance away. Mr. McCreery's
moant, Barbara, looked daneerous at one
tirre.but tired in the stretch. Lord Clifton,
astride Jumping Jack, was never very close
to the leaders. It was whispered "Mv
Lord" had a swell wager placed that he
would not fall off. If he did he won it easy.
The attendance was large and some fine
opportunities were offered for guessing.
William Pinkerton and Sailie Clicquot,
both at odds on, and Brandy were the win
ning favorites, the balance of the races
going to outsiders in the betting.
The win of Schnitz at odds of 40 to 1 in
the mile selling event was the big surprise
of the day's sport. Taking the lead soon
after being sent away the outsider made
the running, and in a" drive won by a bead
from Collins. The 11 to 5 favorite Scimitar
finished filth.
While the lield was at the post for the
mile purse rnce an accident deprived
the second choice, Cabrillo, and the out
sider Fortuna of all chance of winning.
As the barrier was raised Cabrillo started
to wheel round just as Fortuna broke, and
a collision was the result. Tod Sloane, the
rider of Cabrillo, was struck in the face by
Fortuna's head, dazing him, and, after his
mount ha<l run a few yards, fell off- He
quickly revived after being carried to the
judges 1 stand. This left but three to tinish
the race. The pace set was slow, and
Jones went to the front with the 6 to 5
favorite Adolph Spreckels turning into

the back stretch. Tne three-year-old
showed the way into the stretch for home,
when Service beaded him. Ridden out,
the old campaigner beat Figaro a length.
The favorite was a couple of lengths
farther away.
The Spreckels entry, George Palmer,
was backed for a certainty in the two
year-01.l dash that was first on the card.
The good-looking youngster went to the
post 11 to 10. but could finish no better
than third. In a hard drive the 8 to 1
chance Torpedo beat Howard S a very
short head on the wire.
A five-furlong dash that followed went
to the 1 to 4 favorite William Pinkerton,
who won ridden out a length in advance
of the two-year-old Adam Andrew.
Sallie Clicquot scared all out of the con
chiding six-furlong run but live, and ruled
alto G favorite. In a drive she won by
the narrowest of margins from the gray
I colt Paros, with Montallade a good third.

This is "ladies' day" at Ineleside. The
programme is one of the best yet offered

usual for the accommodation of the fair
sex.
The condition: of the "Over the Moun

have been -changed to read as follows: For

The four-year-oid chestnut gelding Soon

catarrhal fever at the Bay District track
lon Sunday. He had performed with some
I success both on the flat and over the
"sticks."
Bookmaker Peter Riley and crew de
parted for Roby last evening.
Although originally containing a large
list of entries, the six-furlong handicap on
yesterday's card had to be declared off for
lack of starters.

was bid up $300 over his entered selling

AMONG THE WHEELMEN
The National Racing Circuit to
Open in Denver, and Not
Here.
The Imperial Club Nominates Offi-
cers and Names Its Relay
Team.
It has been decided not to have the Na
tional racing circuit commence in Califor
nia. This conclusion was reached yester
day by R. M. Welcn of the racing board.
He said that the demand for dates on the
circuit was not sufficient to warrant the
Eastern racing men coming here, and for
that reason it has been decided to open the
racing circuit on May 16 at Denver and
ork eastward from that point,
wlhiswill not affect the dates which have
already been arranged for next month,
however, and race meetings will be held at
Santa Rosa, Oakland, Heald&burgand San
Jose, but they will not be National circuit
meets. All the fast California riders and
such Easterners as are now here will com
pete and the events will be full of interest.
Tom Cooper, the Detroit flier, and Lee
Richardson, champion trick-rider, who
have been expected here during the past
few days, will not arrive for two weeks,
and as the circuit will start in Denver,
may not come at all. This will be quite a
disappointment to tneir many iriends
here.
The Imperial Cycling Club has adopted
a club sweater of silver gray, trirurued with
purple. They are quite handsome and all
the members will soon be wearing them.
The Bay City Wheelmen are still unde
cided as to one or two men for their relay
team and will hold another live-mile try
out at Alameda to-day to settle the matter.
Harry F. Terrill, one of the club's strong
est riders, has been ill since last Saturday
and will probably not ride, so that his
place will also have to be filled.
F. C. Chandler, manager of the Cleve
land branch house on this coast, will
shortly leave here to take charge of the
company's interests in London. His suc
cessor has not been named, though he may
be E. E. Stoddard of the Bay City Wheel
men, who represented the Western Wheel
Works of Chicago until recently, when he
left them to go with the Cleveland people.
The San Jose Road Club celebrated" its
fourth anniversary yesterday.
Maurice Stewart of the Bay City Wheel
men left yesterday for a trip through So
la no County.
The Imperial Cycling Club's relay team
will be composed of Messrs. Bozio, Ortion,
Metcalfe, Barley, Cook, Maack. Blakeslee,
Alborelle, Borre and Byrne.
At a meeting last Monday night the fol
lowing officers were nominated for the en
suing term: President, K. L. Radke; vice
presidents, H. Todd and G. Sullivan;
secretary, John S. Egan; financial secre
tary and treasurer, George J. Panario;
captains, J. F. Burns, J. L. Barrow and J.
S. Dawson.
Secretaries of clubs intending to enter
teams in the coming relay must file the
names of their men with Chairman Strat
ton of the road-racing committee of the
associated clubs not later than 'to-morrow
evening.
ALL KINDS OF SPORT.
Picnic of the Sportsmen* Protective
Association — Courting and
Rowing.
The Snorcmen's Protective Association
met last evening at 2L'O Mason street and
perfected final arrangements for its picnic
and outing which will be held on Sunday
next at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael.
A. Battu was elected treasurer of the
club in place of John Stack, who has not
attended a meeting since last October.
A letter was read from Victor Harrier,
the treasurer of the Mallard Gun Club and
organizer of the Solano County Sports
men's Club, in which it stated that neither
the writer nor members of the club he rep
resented could assist in any way to further
the interests of the association by the sale
of tickets for its annual picnic.
Ti>e association unanimously decided to
cut away from the Mallard and Solano
County clubs, the membership of which in
future will have to fight their own battles
minus the support of the Sportsmen's Pro
tective Association.
Committees were appointed for the pic
nic, which promises to be both financially
and socially a most successful affair.
The Interstate Coursing Club met last
evening and arrangements for the second
grand meeting at Newark Park on the 18th
inst. were perfected.
The drawing for the races will be held
on Thursday evening, and the secretary
hopes that all sportsmen who are inter

WEBSTER-STREET
BRIDGE PROTEST
Alameda Citizens Send Their
Memorial to Colonel
Suter.
UNCLE SAM'S POWERS.
Federal Authorities Have Noth
ing to Do With the
Matter.
CONTROLS ONLY THE ESTUARY
Government's One Duty Is to Look
Out for the Drawbridge
Constructions.
The citizens of the western portion of
Alameda have taken formal steps in pro
test against the removal of tne Webster
street bridge. City Attorney Taylor for
mulated the protest, which was adopted as
a resolution by the municipal board and
yesterday laid it before Colonel Suter, clii«f
of the engineer corps of the Pacific depart
ment, for transmission to Washington.
The protest covering the arguments al
ready presented in The Call interviews is
as follows:
Resolved, That the following statement of
facts be forwarded lo the honorable Secretary
of War as grounds for remonstrance against
changing the location of the drawbridge con
necting Alameda and Oakland known as the
Webster-street drawbridge.
First— Said bridge has been at its present lo
cation for more than a quarter of a century.
Between the bridge and the highland of Ala
meda extends a mile of roadway, constructed
at great expense over a marsh of such nature
that it took many years of settling and refill
ing before the roadway obtained its present
foundation. Any material change in the loca
tion of said bridge will require, at great ex
pense, the construction of another roadway,
which might not obtain solidity for years. The
city of Alameda has no other street or right of
way over this marsh, and a street could only
be opened at great expense and after many
legal delays.
Second— The present bridge is located at a
point which best suits the convenience of the
public traveling between Alameda and Oak
land.
Third— The direct continuation of said road
wny in the city of Alameda is known as Sev
enth street, and is a business center. There is
no other business street In said city within a
distance of two miles, and as Alameda is a resi
dence city it is not desirable to create new
business centers.
Fourth— The location of said bridge is at the
narrowest point on the estuary or harbor lying
between Alumeda and Oakland, and the con
struction of a bridge elsewhere would entail
not only great cost of erection, but additional
cost and danger in maintenance.
Fifth— The approaches and streets leading to
this bridge, on both the Alameda and Oakland
sides, have been constructed and improved so
as to render easy access to the present bridge,
and any change would seriously discommode
the traveling public and require large outlay
to construct and improve new approaches.
Sixth — The abandonment of said roadway
would divert travel and trade from its present
channels and destroy long-established real
estate values and business interests, and cause
irreparable injury to the entire city of Ala
meda.
Resolved further, Thatif the War Department
decides to construct a bridge at anew location
that said department be requested not to lo
cate the same eastward of tne railroad bridge
owned by the Southern Pacific Company, situ
ated near said tirst-mentioned drawbridge.
Notwithstanding the adoption of ;these
resolutions, the West End people declare
that they are in favor of replacing the two
old bridges with one new bridge, which
shall have Webster street as its Alameda
approach.
The Alameda Argus, in editorial refer
ence to the project, says:
Our idea of an estuary bridge is a double
decker, the upper deck to carry the wagon
traffic and to have approaches so long as to
carry it past the railway tracks and water
front hurly-burly that crowds down on the
Oakland Bhore of the estuary. It will soon be
so that the Oaklatid approach to the bridge
will be well blocked by the miscellaneous
traffic of shipping and the frequent running of
freight, local passenger and electric cars. If
the vehicles could be carried over all this and
landed to the north of First street it would
greatly encourage wagon traffic ana conduce
to the public safety.
As indicated in the protest sent to
Colonel Suter, there is a general impres
sion that the War Department is to settle
the bridge question. That is not the case
as the Government engineers explain.
The Federal authorities can only declare
whether the bridges over the estuary are
a hindrance to navigation. The Federal
Government is to look out for the rights
of the ships in Oakland harbor.
It cannot prevent the county from main
taining the old bridge at Webster street,
and neither the Federal Government nor
the county can prevent the railroad com
pany from building the Alice-street bridge
while the railroad owns the right of way
for the bridge.
All that the Federal Government can
do is to regulate the drawbridges.
The situation is this: The railroad
company has concluded to rebuild the
Alice-street bridge and run both railroad
tracks over it. It has notified the Govern
ment engineer of that. The Government
engineer demands that a drawbridge
about twice as long as the present one be
provided, and the railroad company does
not want to build so much of a draw
bridge. The authorities at Washineton
are to decide whether the railroad's new
drawbridge must have a span of 150 feet or
not.
With the railroad's new bridee in use
the county would be compelled to main
tain the old Webster-street bridge, which
is maintained in its present, rickety condi
tion by the railroad company in payment
for its use of the bridge. The bridge is
admitted to be of little value, with ap
proaches that have caused criticism for
years.
The shipping men and others assert that
this is a favorable time to supplant the
two old unsubstantial bridges with a
bridge that will be safe and commodious,
and at the same time a structure of archi
tectural merit. The railroad company has
iiot made any overtures to the county re
garding a bridge to be built at joint ex
pense, but at the meeting in Colonel
Suter's office Mr. Curtis stated, in response
to a question, that the company would be
willing to consider the proposition.
No action has been taken by the county,
however, and the railroad is going on with
its preparations to build its own bridge.
The principal advocates of a union bridge
are the shipping men, and their interest is
in having only one drawbridge at the
lower part of the estuary.
WHISTLE FOR HIS PAY.
That Seems to Be All That Is Left for
Laborer Henshaw to Do by Way
of Pastitne.
"We are constantly obliged to listen to
tales of fraud and oppression," remarked
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald yesterday.
"One of our latest cases is that of a poor
workman named Henshaw, who asked our
aid in collecting a claim for $S 15. He went
to work under the McCoy grading contract
at the Mission, and is said to be a good,
willing and capable marfjj When McCoy
failed the contract was assigned to J.J.
Raver. who assumed the obligation of see
ing that the employes were paid. He
said he was sure there was money enough
in the contract to meet all claims out
standing.
"The work was finished, and matters
commenced to looK black for the Henshaw
household. Tht-y were six months behind
with the rent, and living, God knows how,
on nothing a week. Henshaw came to
me in great distress a few days ago, beg
ging the commission to help him collect
his little ciaim, which means so much 10
him and his family. Deputy Commis
sioner Dam wrote to Raver, ancl this is the
ancnrAr "
"The answer" consisted of Mr. Dam's
note, which had been returned, across the
back of it being scrawled the words: I
have lost $1365 on the same.
"Meanwnile," commented Mr. Fitzger
ald, "poor Henshaw may whistle for his
money."
A LAMP EXPLOSION.
It Destroys Five Hundred Dollars'
Worth of Property.
The explosion of a lamp in the residence
of George Savage, 754 Harrison street,
shortly after 11 o'clock last night t led to
the destruction of $500 worth of property.
There was no insurance.
CHEERED BY THOUSANDS
Monsignor Nugent Given a Pub
lic Reception at Metro
politan Hall.
He Tells of His Labors Among the
Poor and Destitute of Liver
pool.
A large audience gave Monsignor Nu
gent, the noted apostle of the poor of Liver
pool, a royal California welcome at Metro
politan Hall last night. The reception to
the distinguished visitor was under the
auspices of the Legion of the Cross, the
St. Vincent de Paul Society ana St.
Joseph's Union.
The preliminaries included addresses of
welcome by J. M. Burnett and Frank J.
Sullivan, selections by Blanchard's orches
tra, and the Press Club's quartet (Messrs.
Coffin, Parent, Tilton and Warde) was so
I well received that repeated encores were
j demanded and given.
In the course of his address, reviewing
: the work of Monsignor Nugent amone: the
' waifs and strays of Liverpool. Mr. Suili
| van took occasion to praise Father Crorr
| ley and the Youths' Directory in this City
and said it should appeal to the charity of
the people.
"Why can't we do in San Francisco," he
said, "what Monsignor Nugent has done in
j Liverpool? The boy of to-day is the man
! of to-morrow, and the brainsof the home
j less boy are as good as those of the rich
; man's son and his soul is just as pure."
Archbishop Riordan delivered a brief
' and eloquent address in welcoming Mou
! signor Nugent to San Francisco.
''I am delighted beyond measure," said
■ the Archbishop, "that my friend of thirty
' years has met with such a warm welcome
'; in our City. It was in Chicago, just alter
the great tire, when I first met Mgr.
Nugent, and I can never forget his svm
patby in the hour of our affliction. \Ve,
who love the cause of humanity, and the
cause of temperance, to-nieht tender him
I our warmest affection. When I was in
' Liverpool last year I went out with Mgr.
j Nugent, and everybody wanted to shake
him i>y the hand.
"Therefore I am glad to say to him pub
licly what I feel in my heart, that we
gladly welcome him to this City.
"Mgr. Nugent knows me too" well to be
lieve it necessary for me to make a public
profession of my friendship. For thirty
years we have known each other. For
thirty years we have been friends and
loved each other."
"This demonstration overwhelms me,"
I said Monsignqr Nugent, "for never in my
life have I had such a witness of any ser
vice I have done for the people. 1 appre
ciate to the lull the deep affection of your
glorious archbishop, and it is to me the
greatest honor that he should, in the
presence of this vast multitude, take me
to his arms, as it were, in deep affection.
"God in his providence cast my field of
duty among the people, and I know
the people because I sprung from them.
Having been born in the Rreat city of
Liverpool I knew something of the wants
of our people, and as a mere youth I made
resolutions that my first efforts would be
to do something in a humble way for
orphans and destitute boys on lines
similar to those I had witnessed in an in
stitution in Rome.
"In 1863 a law was passed in England
called the Prison Minister's Act, giving
power to the magistrates to appoint a
Catholic priest as prison chaplain. So I
was selected for a place, and when I en
tered the prison walls I was appalled at
the condition of the prisoners, and then I
began to inquire why it was that so many
of our people, so bright, active, so gifted
were there, and I found that it was from
drink.
"James Greenwood, author of the
'Seven Curses of London,' tells us that in
1868 there were 100,000 children knocking
about the city of London, and in Liver
pool 40,000 between the a«es of 5 and 14
were without education, and 20,000 of
these were at large upon the street. Drink
was the cause of the neglect. At that
time I had not the courage to lift up the
standard of Father Mathew. So I gathered
a few workmen about me and I made
them promise not to go into a public house
on a Saturday night to spend their money,
as it belonged to their family, and to keep
away from It on Sunday, as it was the
Lord's day, and on Monday, because they
should begin their work well. I hired an
old theater and gathered the boys of the
street, and thus began the work which I
have succeeded in carrying on."
Monsignor Nugent reviewed the rise of
the League of the Cross which he estab
lished in England, and gave graphic re
citals of the ruin and destitution that in
temperance had caused among the work
ing classes of Liverpool. He closed with
an eloquent and touching plea to his
hearers to do what they could to aid the
temperance movement.

ASINGULAR RECOVERY
Mrs. Lee Walters, 828 First Street,
Los Angeles, Tells the Public
How Much Has Been
Done for Her.
SHE BELIEVES IN THE HOME REMEDY
,-•'■ * "_'" j
A Peculiar Case of Nervous Dyspepsia, In-
somnia and Impure Blood Has Just Been
Successfully Cured by the Great Home
Remedy, Joy's Vegetable Sarsapar ilia— It
Has Astonished the Doctors of Los An-
geles, Many of Whom Are Now Making
an Investigation.
A true and authentic story comes from
the city of Los Angeles which is really
marvelous. It is especially interesting to
those suffering from dyspepsia and an im-
poverished blood, for, while the individual
is now permanently cured, many doctors
are wondering how the cure ; was effected,
and it is given out that the" physicians of
Los Angeles are secretly investigating the
"formulas" of what is known as
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
Four years ago Mrs. Lee Walters was
considered one of the handsome women of
Los Angeles. Up to that time she was in
perfect health. . All of a sudden she devel-
oped headaches— dyspepsia. Her case was
so painful that many of the best- physi-
cians were called in, but they could only
give temporary relief.
About a year ago Mrs. Lee Walters began
using Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. She
has completely recovered her lost health.
All the old symptoms have disappeared.
She writes for the benefit of those who may
be similarly afflicted:
THE EDWIN W. JOY CO., 269 Stevenson st.,
San Francisco, Gkxtlemkn: From a deep
sense of gratitude I am glad to be ahle to tell you
that lam now a well ani hearty woman. All the
old symptoms have disappeared. I have no more
headaches. They are gone.
-You see. my headaches were so awful, so ex-
tremely painful, I hud to call in many doctors, but
was never relieved until I used Joy's Vegetable
Sarsaparilla. It is : such a pleasant medicine.
There is no nasty tas:e to It.
I can eat almost anything and digest well. I
steep every night. My stomach does not fill up
and bloat. iMy digestion is really perfect. I praise
the Joy's Vegetable Narsaparilla and will always
recommend it. 1 stopped using pills as soon as I
began to take Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. It is a
splendid laxative. Hoping some person will read
, this who is looking for relief, 1 wish you God's
blessing. (Sisrned). MRS. LEE WALTERS,
