4 OUT AT THE RACETRACK Another Day of Ruin and Dis aster for Backers of Favorites. TWO OUT OF SIX IN FRONT. A Head-and-Head Finish in the First Race, Captured by Donna Carlotta. Twelve bookmakers cut in yesterday. Nate Hill, the jockey, leaves to-night for St. Louis. Starter 11. D. Brown went on to Memphis at the conclusion of the Los Angeles meeting. The Lenoke filly, by Surinam-Lenoke, ran in the colors of Jack Follansbee of society fame. I do not wonder that Frank Van Ness does not name the Experiment gelding. He is certainly a great horse to experiment with. Colonel Dan Burns got whipsawed in the fifth race, lie first backed Silver, and return ing to the ring placed a few good-sized wagers cm Mary S. Mr. Boots says that Installator was laid up with the influenza this past winter and could hardly be expected to show up better at his first start. Senator Mahoney was beaten by two votes in the first race. His owner, 7.eke Abrahams, stood to win two or three Legislatures on the Fellow charm gelding. Al Stanford has turned his horse Haymarket out at pasturage, and leaves to-night for Chi cago, where he will ride John Brenock's jump ers this summer. Ed Purser was down wrong on Mamie Scott and Sympathetie's Last, but more than re trieved his losses on the day Dy plugging Malo Diablo all around the ring. Bob Isom's ride on the Ledette filly was a fine exhibition of know-noihintri«m. It is about time he learned that a light two-year-old can not stand the bat ier a quarter of a mile and not be expected to swerve. Ed Purser thought he was pulling Nick Halls feathers when the lanky mau fruru Illinois laid him 2 to 1 against Seraphin for a hundred. Nick may yet turn out to be as good a thing at the game as Barney was once sup posed to be. Young Piggott gives promise of becoming a very clever jockey. His fhiifh on Donna Car lotta would have done er\ dit to & much more experienced rider. Pigrgott's first mount was on oue of Mr. Maedonough's horses at Mon moutti Park a couple of years ago, when he fin ished fourth. Ben Benjamin, the popular turf writer of the Examiner, returned from Los Angeles yester day, having completed bis labors as secretary of the Fiesta race meeting. While not a great success financially. Ben says the racing was high class, which to a degree offset the light attendance. Morven in particular, he says, showes himself to be a star at the shorter dis tance. The market at the Bay District yesterday opened strong, with a slight tendency to nervousness. At the call, precisely at 1:30 o'clock, there was considerable activity and bustle in the pit and some sharp exchanges took place. The opening quotations were but slightly different from the day preced ing, but, as the day advanced, the Bay District Bottled-up Company's stock uu vanced to $168 and there was a flutter of excitement in the market. Later, when the suspension of Dope, Form & Co. was announced, the pit was in a very turbulent state that bordered on the panicky as busi ness was suspended at the close of the day. As many are short on the market there will be some merry hustling among the bulls and bears at the call to-day. The talent as usual set the pins up in the alley yesterday and the accommodating bookies bowled them over. Donna i'ar lotta in the opening event and honest little Arnette in the fourth race were the only two favorites that proved true to the trust imposea in them. The bookmakers did a fairly good busi ness, even if not troubled with any v<-ry weighty bets. Bilver to a great extent has taken the place of gold, and most of the greenbacks were sent oti to New York by Dave Gideon and Pittsburg Phil. The two-year-olds opened up proceed ings. W. 08. Macdonough's Donna Car lotta was sent to the post a 11 to 5 favorite, but the play was by no means confined to the daughter of St. Carlo, as Spry Lark, Queen, virgie A and Eventide were all well backed. After running fairly well bunched into the stretch the race narrowed down to a duel between Donna Carlotta. Eventide and Senator Mahoney, in which the first named was successful by a wink, with Eventide second, a head in front of Sena tor Mahoney. Centurion disposed of the very ordinary lot pitted against him in the second race, over six furlongs, in a very polished man ner, going to the post 3 to 1, and leading from start to finish. Tobey, a 10 to 1 shot, was Eecond, a head away, "three parts of a length in front of Favory. A short six-furlong run, light welter weightSj was next in order. From twos Seraphin was quickly backed to 7 to 5. The balance of the play was divided up be tween the Experiment gelding and Ledette filly. feeraphin, followed by Experiment geld ine, headed the field all the way ahd fought it out to the wire. Seraphin, who bad been leading, was nassed the last eighth by Experiment gelding and beaten out a long neck. Ledette filly, poorly rid den, was third. The fourth race, full six furlongs, was stepped off in a light and fantastic man ner by Billy Donathan's Arnette. The dainty little "Midlothian Miss, starting a 7 to 5 favorite, led all the way and won. pulled up to a walk, in I:lsV£- In a drive Duchess of Milpitas beat \ enus, backed from 10 to 5 to 1, a nose for the place. The next favorite, however, was not such a decided success. The race, a six fnrlong run also, was considered about right for Lady Jane, and she went to the post 11 to 5. Later a strong play on Mary S sent her to the post at about the same fig ure. Sympathetic's Last was also the medium of some tall playing. The owner of Ricardo, a poor man, endeavored with ill success to get some of the moneyed men to back his horse, and he weut to the post 8 to 1. The Judge and Lady Jane headed the field until nearing the stretch, when Ri cardo's colors began looming up. Straight ened for home the latter took the lead, and won galloping by two lengths from Nellie G. Lady Jane finished third. After a long let-up Installator was made a 1 to 2 favorite for the last race on the card at seven furlongs, but receded in the betting, and even money was later obtain able. He closed a 7 to 10 chance. After leading to the turn down the backstretch Malo Diablo neaded him and cantered in front the entire way, winning by two lengths from Mr. Jingle, the second choice. Inkerman was an ordinary third. The favorite was beaten before turning into the stretch, but as he iB one of the be?t horses in Mr. Boot's string, the race can be taken as no criterion of what he is capable of ac complifihfng, and he will undoubtedly be heard from later on.

A 'CYCLING ANNEX ORGANIZED A Record of Happenings In Local Amateur Photographic Circles. There is an awakening in local amateur photographic circles foreshadowing the lively interest which will be taken in pho tographic art this coming summer. At a meeting called for the purpose on April 18 there was organized a cycling annex to the California Camera Club, to be known as the Camera Club Cyclists. Membership will be confined to the active, associate and subscribing members of the California Camera Club. The first meeting of the new organiza tion will be held at«the clubrooms, Thurs day evening, May 2. The initial "ran" of the club is called for next Sunday, the 28th inst.,to Hay wards from Fruitvale. Among those who have caught the prevailing cycling craze are many lady photogra phers. For the benefit of these it is con siderately announced that "a slow pace will be set and maintained throughout the entire run." Lunch will be partaken of at Hay wards. The suggestion is made that only hand cameras be used on this, the first outing of the club cyclists. The ar rangements for the excursion are in the hands of J. J. B. Argenti, captain; W. E. Good rum, rim lieutenant, and Harry B. Hosmer, second lieutenant. There is yet another jolly time in store for the Camera Club boys, in which their friends of either sex who may be non members will be allowed to participate. Captain Lento of the tug Caroline, an old friend of theirs, has extended an invita tion to them for next Saturday to cruise round the bay. The steamer will leave Jackson-street wharf at 10:15 a. M. and will return about sp. m. A dark room will be fitted np on trie boat, for the purposes of plate and film changing. Lunch will be eaten on board, and as there is a large fleet of ships on the bay at present some good pictures will undoubtedly be secured. Marine scenery possesses great attractions for the amateur. The light is quick—al most too quick, in fact — and not easily controlled. Slow piates, combined with rapid shutters and small stops, are necessi ties. A new process paper has made its ap pearance m the city, and is being largely used by amateurs. It has a matt surface with a platinum tone, but can also be worked for the warm colors admired by some. Fure whites are mentioned aa a good feature of the new paper. Miss Green is mainly devoting her atten tion to interiors and flashlights, both diffi cult branches of the art to pursue success fully. Those who have seen her work, however, say it is well worthy of exhibi tion. Harry B. Hosmer is experimenting with the Thornton-Picard focal-plane shutter, much to the surprise of his friends, who are acquainted with his prejudice for thing? English. He says, however, that for certain classes of work other shutters are "not in it." The arrangement is what is known as a "blind" one, and Edgar Pickard, the inventor of the apparatus, re cently exhibited at a London photographic society negative?- taken at a speed of 1-500 of a second, timed by electricity. As Mr. Hosmer is one of the crack photographers of the United States, good results should follow his use of the instrument, which he has attached to an Bxlo box. William 8. Hochstadter is continuing with portrait work, of which he is an ardent student. He proposes to experi ment upon celerite paper, which gives brown, black and sepia tones. II* 1 will re port results later. H. T. Hemming is having a box made under the superintendence of H. B. Hos mer. The great feature of the production will be that the leus will be made to do double duty. It will be made to focus and to act as a finder. Ud to the present this Las been done by the somewhat clumsy principle of a double camera, with two lenses of identical focus. It is a fact well known in optics that these are very diffi cult to obtain, and the new camera will, therefore, be hailed with interest, as it utilizes the "reflector" idea. AMONG THE WHEELMEN The Olympics Will Banquet the Eastern Racers To-Night. The Imperial Cycling Club's Elec tion—ls Osen Again Sus pended? The Olympic Club Wheelmen will ban quet the departing Eastern racers to-night at a local hostelry. The Falcon team, consisting of Ziegler, Coulter and Har bottle. with trainers Tcllam and Foster, leave for the East Thursday. The Colum bia team, Bald and Macdonald, with Trainer Asa Windle. will ride at Oakland on May 1, and possibly at Santa Rosa on May 8, 9 and 10. They will then go to Los Angeles; thence to Denver and the East, arriving at Wa.ltham about May 30. The Imperial Cycling Club held a meet ing last night and elected the following eleven directors: J. S. Egan, E. C. Doug las, C. H. Dannals, A. D. Stealey, J. J. Mc- Donald, H. W. Eisert. J. F. Burns, W. W. Earle, W. Wilson, W. H. Tooker and J. H. Millert. They will meet shortly and elect officers and arrange for the incorporation of the club. William T. Johnson was elected captain. W. A. Burke and C. M. Castleman, the Los Angeles racers, will try for records at San Jose next Saturday, the former for short distances and the latter for the twenty-five mile record. A rumor was current yesterday to the effect that Oscar Osen was again suspended by the league. No reason was assigned and the local racing board has not been notified. RomaE. Dow, a fast class A rider of Ban Jose, has been notified that he will be put into class B unless he can satisfactorily ex plain how he happens to be on the Ariel team. A big cycling parade will be held in Oak land next Tuesday night, and races the fol lowing day for the benefit of Fabiola Hos- Sital. All the principal riders who rode at an Jose last week will compete. W. J. Edwards has announced his per manent retirement from the track, as he wishes to pursue his studies. The Ram bler team hns been disbanded, with the exception of Foster and Jones. Wells will not go east, as has been reported. At a meeting called for the purpose, held Thursday evening, April 18, 1895, there was perfected the organization of a cycling annex to the California Camera Club, to be known as the Camera Club Cyclists. The membership will be confined to the active, associate and subscribing members of the California Camera Club. There is no irritation fee and the dues are 25 cents a month, payable quarterly, in advance. Every member of the California Camera Club, whether owning a wheel or not, is cordially invited to join the annex. The officers of the Camera Club Cyclists arc Charles A. Adams, president; Mrs. A. G. McFarland, vice-president; C. Cormack, secretary; H. C. Cantwell, treasurer; J. J. B. Argenti, captain; W. E. Goodrum and H. B. Hosmer, lieutenants. A POINT DECIDED. •lodge Seawell Overrules a Demurrer in the Spreckels Case. Judge Seawell yesterday overruled a de murrer interposed by the Oceanic Steam ship Company to the action brought by C. A. Spreckels to compel the directors of the company to hold an annual meeting. The issue was raised that the writ should not have been issued against the directors of the company, but the shareholders. Judge Seawell held that as amended the com plaint showed a ground of action, and overruling the demurrer gave the de fendants live daya in which to answer. EEAL ESTATE TBANSACTIGfas.

Advice of a Sculptor Given on the Sub- ject. "The famous man, if he expects to hare his memory perpetuated, in a monument after his death, ".said a well-known sculptor, "should either leave orders with his family or his executor for a death mask or else should have such photographs made of himself as will enable the sculptor to re produce his head with something akin to realism. Photographs are most deceptive, anyway, but if he will have an exact pro file and an exact full face made the sculp tor will be able to make a fairly faithful likeness. Not one prominent man out of ten ever has two such pictures. Usually the celebrity has all of his pictures made from one pose, partly because a certain pose is favorable to him and partly be cause a number of poses are not so likely as one to place his face firmly on the minds of the public. In consequence the sculptor is placed at the greatest disad vantage. Although he may make his bust look like the subject from one point of view— the photographer's point 01 view — when the friends of the subject see it all around — now a form and not a picture — they declare that it does not reesmble the original at all," says the New York Press. "A death mask costs anywhere from $10 to $2f>, and certainly anybody who expects that statues will be' erected in his honor by future generations can afford that. It is much more common to have a death mask taken now than formerly. But it is gen erally his friends and not the great man himself who orders one. The death masks of Lincoln and Napoleon have preserved exactly for us the features of these two im mortals. Without them we should always have been in the dark as to the real shape of their heads." Hpw to Dorige the Microbe. A philosopher has been saying that the main discovery of modern times ia that man was made for the microbe. The two elementary principles in connection with it appear to be, first, those things that are wholesome communicate disease ; secondly, those things that are unwholesome cause disease. So air, water, milk, butter, oys ters, mussels, watercress, foreign fruit and even the harmless, pleasine kiss are all capable of conveying infection. Moreover, cabs, dogs, cushions in rail way carriages, shaving at barber-shops, clothes from the tailors, washing from the laundry, bank notes, books, glasses at restaurants, mud on one's clothes or other mediums for the distribution of disease. Civilized man, then, may only expect to live an average term of life by continuous immersion in boiling water, accompanied by absolute isolation. Beyond that, what ever he eats, drinks, wears or touches should be boiled before he comes in close contact with them. It is remarkable that our predecessors thrived, despite the eternal, though, at the time unascertained laws of science. Is civilization a failure? Perhaps not; but the good die young and the tough citizen lives to commit crimes and bring civilization to disgrace.— New- Orleans Picayune. IT WAS NOT ST, HUBERT He Had No Connection With the Affair at Mountain View. MISTAKEN IDENTITY AGAIN. The San Jose Deputy Sheriffs Wrong In Saying He Was Saunders. Captain Chamon de St. Hubert of 1206 O'Farrell street returned Monday from Los Angeles. He is greatly annoyed that his name should have been connected with a mysterious and not very creditable affair that took place near Mountain View on the 11th inst. The story, which was published exten sively by the city and coast papers, was in brief to this effect: A man registered at a hotel at Mountain View under the name of W. Saunders, 1206 O'Farrell street, San Francisco. He went into the country to Mr. Heney's place, where he was met by two men who claimed to be officers with a warrant for his arrest. Saunders was handcuffed and taken into Wagner's barn by his captors. When Wagner went into the barn a little later Saunders and the other men had gone. The statement was published on the strength of assertions by the San Jose Deputy Sheriffs, who made an investiga tion, that Saunders and Captain Hubert were one and the same person, and that their mysterious actions were to perpetrate a fraud upon somebody. Captain Hubert last evening explained all of his movements before and after the affair of Saunders and the two men. He said: On Tuesday morning, April 9, 1 sailed by the. steamer Santa Rosa for Los Angeles, where I arrived on Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. On Sunday, the 7th, I was at Mountain View at about 10 o'clock. I hired a buggy from the stable. I went to the Heney vineyard, when, after testing the wine, I returned to Mountain View, put up the team and paid the owner $150. I was then conducted to the Delmas vineyard by Mr. Delmas' coachman in his carriage. After transacting some business I was driven back to town by the same coachman and took the 4 p. m. train for San Francisco, arriving at G P. M. I know nothing whatever of the alleged out rage committed on Saunders. At the time Saunders was said to have been assaulted by two men I was on the ocean on my way to Los Angeles. I don't know this man Saunders nor any one in the affair as was published in the newspapers. My daughter accompanied jo on my trip to Los Angeles and back. When I returned on last Monday morning I found my family greatly distressed on account of the false statements that had been published concerning me. My wife telegraphed for me to return to my home and refute the unjust and unfounded charges. Captain Hubert has lived for the past fif teen years in San Jose and San Francisco. During the past six years he has consid ered this city as his home. Nearly all of his life he has followed the wine business, and is considered by the business commu nity as one of its most reputable mer chants. He is at a loss to understand how his name became mixed up in any such affair as that which occurred in Santa Clara County. "In one report it is stated that Saunders registered at the hotel in Moun tain View, giving his address as 1206O'Far rell street, San Francisco. I did not regis ter when I went to the hotel," said Captain Hubert. "I do not know of any enemies I may bave in Sarita Clara County who would furnish the press with such information. The newspapers were sadly imposed upon by some one and I will not rest until I have reached the bottom facts." A HEKO OF PEENOH OULTUEE. M. Bertrand of the Pails Academy of Bcience Honored. It is a singular fact that the Paris Acad emy of Science, which was established in 1666 on the pattern of the London Royal Institution, founded in 1660 by Charles 11, is governed under quite different princi ples. In London the chairman is nom inated for his lifetime, and the secretaries are appointed every year. In Paris a new member is passed every year through the chair and the secretaries are styled per petual, says the London Graphic. One of the secretaries now in olfice is M. Joseph Bertrand, a celebrated writer and scientist, who was nominated a member of the Academy in 1806 and a perpetual sec retary in 1874. His scientific life seems iie>tined to cover an extraordinary space of time. He exhibited such a precocity of intellect that at the age of 11 he passed successfully his examination for admit tance as a pupil of the Polytechnic School ; his real admission was postponed up to 1W only in compliance with the regulations. N f ow, at the age of 72, he is giving daily proofs of the youth of his mind and the excellence of his health. As showing the variety of his faculties and occupations it is Miilicient to state that in 1884 he was nominated, almost unopposed, a member of the Academic Francaise. M. Bcrtrand, who is one of the greatest leaders of French culture, has just beeu the hero of an interesting ceremony. After the common routine of the weekly meet ings of the Academy had been proceeded With, M. Parboux, a clever analyst and a Parbonne professor, rose. lie explained that the pupils and admirers of M. Ber tram! had raised a public fund for present ing him with a gola medal in commemo ration of the fiftieth anniversary of the first lecture delivered by him to the pupils of the Polytechnic School. The speaker then moved from his place, and, proceeding toward the chair, handed to M. Bertrand — whose seat is on tiie left of the chairman — a valuable medal bearing his portmit. The likeness is wonderfully good, a fact which is due to the skill of Jl. Chaplain, a member of the Academy of Beaux Arts, a medalist to whom France ia indebted for an almost incredible number of sculptural commemorations of scientific or political events. M. Bertrand returned thanks in a few sentences, in which he tried ineffectually to conceal his profound emotion, and the whole assemblage broke into a rant of applause. AMEEICAN BARDLETS. What an EnglUh Critic Says of Aincrl- Can Po«*try- Makers. With "Transatlantic Bardlets" as his headline a writer prefaces some rather savage criticism of several books of verse recently published in America with follow ing lively remarks, says the London Re view: They are uncommonly like the English poetlings, these transatlantic bardlets, but there are more of them. This is not be cause the States are less poetical than the mother country, but because they have more people. Moreover, "culture" is gen erally held in high esteem there, and to appear in print is an undoubted mark of having obtained it — just as a university degree is a proof among the English mid dle classes of its proud possessor's right to be regarded as a scholar and a gentle man. "Hut if the authorship of a book is a cer tificate of taste and reading, it becomes a diploma in honors when that book con sists of metrical matter. Now about 75 per cent of moderately educated persons can write lines which sometimes scan, often rhyme, and occasionally make sense, and a painfully large proportion of these are impelled to establish their characters in the eyes of their neighbors by the pub lication of these so-called verses. A little t money or the power of deluding a pub lisher s reader, a simple tribe, is all that is needed. It must be added that at times the "poems" are a genuine trade success, as are in England, for instance, the inno cent maunderings of Sir Edwin Arnold and Mr. Lewis Morris — a fact which en courages scores, nay, hundreds of other ambitious and avaricious rhymesters to emulate the lucky men. "In the States, too, they have their dear little cliques of mutual admirers, like our fair brotherhood of the Rhymers' Club and the Bodley Head, who generously praise one another's songs — which they read (or neglect to read) in presentation copies — and they thus maintain one another's spirit or a little butter. And then, of course, there are always one's aunts, and sisters, aud wives, and that sort of thing. There are more of these in the United States than here; hence there is more minor poetry." Small I-o-w of Life. The close of the war between China and Japan, now apparently at hand, makes an estimate of the loss of life quite interest ing. Mr. Matsu, secretary or the Japanese Legation in Washington," has made a cal culation which shows that the Japanese have had 912 killed and 2061 wounded. The Chinese loss is about 8000, not includ ing the wounded, but the fact is that the reports in the dispatches regarding the casualties to the Chinese are not reliable, and they probably really lost twice as many as Mr. Matsu has figured out, says the Washington Post. The loss on both sides, however, is small, considering that the war extended over eight months. The Chinese were running most of the time, otherwise the results, so far as their armies are concerned, would have been far more disastrous. She Reasoned It Out. There is a very clever small girl in Eng land who reasons out a great many things for herself, and who cannot be deceived, as many other small girls are, by things that are told them "for fun." Having been told by one of her aunts that the moon was made of green cheese, she immediately sought out her grandfather, to whom she said* "Aunt J. says the moon is made out of green cheese, but I don't believe it." "And why not?" asked her grandfather. "Because I've been reading in the Bible, and it proves the moon ain't made of green cheese, because the moon was made before the cows was." — Harper's Young People. Peruvian Bitters.
