THE BAY DISTRICT TRACK
The Mile and a Sixteenth
Handicap a Gallop for
Lovdal.
TWO HOT FAVORITES DOWHED.
Captain Rees and Quirt, Considered
••Air-Tights" by the Talent,
Both Beaten.
Hinrichs gave a sample of what he can do by
riding three winner! yesterday.
Felix Carr won his last race at the meeting
on LovdaL Hi hnd the Isom boys left for the
East last evening.
The hottest tip of the day was the one out on
Linville in the opening race. He was promi
nent until well into the stretch.
Shaw, on Blue Bell, came very near stealing
the first race !>> making a close turn into the
stretch, while the leaden went wide.
Under the watchful eye of a pood trainer,
y Shaw i* the making of a good rider,
but I am very much afraid that during one
period of his riding he got to "placing them."
Talking about naming horses to convey an
impression of tht-ir ciam. how suggestive is the
name of the Bone Claude that ran In the third
race— by Eequador, dam Tomato. Can-Can
would be much more appropriate.
Tillie S. after that sudden cloudburst of the
race preceding, was such a good thing yester
day that even Muse Gunst could not let it
alone. When two good things are cut loose
together there i^ bound to be a clash. She
finished third and Banjo's victory was not cele
brated by bonfires. •
In the third race the judges disqualified Gus-
Ble H, who finished second, for fouling. Mike
Henneasy, who ro«le the favorite, >ir Walter,
la a very clever article, and it is lo to 1 he got
in his Bay-Bofirst. lli> diplomacy was good;
but if he did not cause the tumping match I
Was looking fit the finish through an umbrella.
It was a long time before that musical instru
ment, the bßnjo, became popular, and then
only'wben Bociety held <>m a helping hand.
Some day society may hold out its hand to
the horse Banjo that won yesterday at 8 to 1
and he will become popular, but not till then.
By the way he ka^ run at the meeting it looks
as though some bookmaker had held out his
band.
•Speakine to "Curly" Shields after the fifth
fare, in which his horse," Captain Ree% was
favorite, he said, "1 did not like my horse, but
was tout i onto him by a turf scribe who had
been reading up the records, and who finally
made me believe he was a 'crack' in the mud,
when I bad fully made up my mind to the con
trary.'' And said "Curly, 1 'What do you
think? This same scribe left me and played
Banjo."
While the third race was beini* run Jockey-
Chevalier, in wh >se name Halifax run, viewed
the race from the press stand, and the finish,
which was ot the catoh-as-cateh-can order,
proved too much for the jockey. When "Chev"
sauntered into The stand previous to the start
With a two-bit cigar between his teeth he was
as cool as Pittsburg Phil. When Halifax, with
three others, were heads apart forty yards lroru
the wire I missed the cigar from "Ghev's"
mouth. Of course I would not like to say he
swallowed it, but stranger things have hap
pened on a racetrack. Halifax was third.
Notwithstanding the "juicy" going' at
the Bay District yesterday the favorites
fared better than for several days preced
ing, three of them managing to get home
in front. To be sure, those knocked down
were decidedly warm ones, as, for instance,
Captain Rees and Quirt, but turf history
tells us it is these uncertainties that make
horse-racing the glorious sport that it is.
Clacquer, the first choice in the opening
event, was the other disgraced favorite.
The event of the day was to have been
the mile and a sixteenth handicap, and for
fear he might break a record the official
handicapper put the awful impost of 117
pounds on Lovdal. He went to the post
a 9 to 10 favorite, and because he didn't
lose his field the first half mile was the
fault of his rider, not the horse. He won
as he liked, with Malo Diablo, the second
choice, in place, and McLight third.
William Murry, the Sacramento sphinx,
once in a while has a good thing up his
sleeve, and the first race yesterday gave
him an opportunity to cut something
loose. It was a five-furlong run and
Clacquer was aJ) to 5 favorite. From 7to
1, Mantell, who is in Mr. Murry's stable,
was played down to 4% to 1. George Rose's
horse, Middleton, was second choice at 7
to 2.
Clacqner and Mantell had the race to
themselves, racing well together all the
■way. In the last few jumps Henrichs got
Mantell's nose in front and he received the
verdict. Middleton was a poor third.
Fortuna, the favorite, took the second
race at six furlongs, after racing out in
front with Linville, who was backed down j
from 4 to 2to 1, and Rose Clark, another
good thing. Blue Bell, a 12 to 1 chance,
•was second, two lengths in front of San
Louis Rev.
A five and a half selling race for all ages
was substituted in place of the third race,
declared off. Sir Walter, the 4 to 5 favorite,
•won this event after some very skillful
navigating on the part of his jockey, Mike
Hennessy. Reserve, an Bto 1 chance, was
placed second and Halifax third.
" Captain Rees was made a redhot favorite
for the fifth race at five and a half fur
longs, 11 to 10 being the closing price
against him at post time. Tillie S was a
"hot thin;:" yesterday and was backed
down from 6t03t0 1. Banjo! well he is
always at a good price sometimes. Yester
day he was 8 to 1.
Banjo and Hueneme had the race to
themselves from the drop of the flag, the
former winning very handily by three
parts of a length. Tillie S came very fast
next the fence, finishing a bang-up third.
Another hot favorite was downed in the
last race. Of course, on performances,
Quirt was a decided first choice, closing in
the betting at 11 to 10. Howard, the sto 2
second choice, went out in front and won
in a gallop by four lengths from the fa
vorite. Miss Ruth finished third.

A Dance at the Club -House on
Saturday Nig+it— The Race
Open to All.
On next Bunday afternoon the first re
gatta of the season will be held under the
auspices of the San Francisco Yacht Club
over the "Clubhouse course." The race is
open to all yachts belonging to organized
clubs on the bay, and the greatest race
ever held on the bay is confidently looked
for by the yachtsmen. Over ninety invita
tions have been issued, and the list of en
tries will be closed at noon to-day.
The regatta will be the second run for j
the handsome cup now held by the Queen, i
The classification, based on load water !
line, will be as follows: Class A, yachts
over 50 feet in length and not over 35;
class 2. between 30 and 35 feet ; class 3, be
tween 25 and 30 feet; class 4, between 20 j
and 25 feet, and class 5. under 20 feet.
The sailing regulations are those of the
San Francisco Yacht Club. The Seawan
baka Yacht Club rules will govern simply
in the matter of classification and compu
tation for sailing length. The time allow
ance is based on the rule of the latter club,
and for this purpose it is requested that
the official measurements of boats in the
various clubs be furnished the regatta
committee.
The course is as follows :
Starting from an imaginary line drawn
from Hag on clubhouse wharf to stake
boat Chispa; thence to Shag Rock; thence
to stakeboat off Angel Island bell; thence
back to starting point, leaving all stake
boats on port hand. Classes 1. 2 and 3go
over the course twice; the others only
once. Finish must be made in crossing,
the line by leaving stakeboat Chispa on
port hand: and those classes going over
course twice must leave said stakeboat on
port hand both first time around and at
finish.
Those not going over the exact course or
passing the stakeboat on wrong side may
consider themselves ruled out, without
protest. If there is any question of doubt
as to the wording of the rules It may l>e an
swered before the race on consultation
with the regatta committee.
Yachtsmen are requested to keep the
course clear between the clubhouse wharf
and the Chispa and not anchor there or
otherwise obstruct the course until all the
yachts have started and finished.
The judges of the race will be Charles G.
Yale, Matthew Turner and J. M. Shot well.
A preparatory gun will bo fired five min
utes before the race. Class 1 will be sent
off at I :3<J p. m. and the remaining classes
at intervals of ten minutes each, the last
two going off in a bunch. Before each
start whistles will be sounded.
On Saturday night there will be a hop at
the clubhouse, and in the stream wki be
lying at anchor all the vessels whicjr'are to
participate in the morrow 's^yrfces. The
North Pacific Coast road Jjas" arranged to
make an extra trip foj»^rtie occasion. The
steamer San Rafaei will leave San Fran
cisco for Sausalito at 8 p. m. and returning
leave Sausalito at 11 p. m.
AMONG THE WHEELMEN.
"\V. A. Terrill, the Great Class B Racer,
to Ride In the Eaat.
W. A. Terrill. the fast class B racer of
this City, is to ride on the Eastern circuit
this year. When M. F. Dirnberger and J.
P. Bliss, the Eastern cracker-jacks, came
here last spring to train they were very
much impressed with the speed shown by
Terrill. This year Dirnberger is manager
of the Syracuse team, and while looking
around for material to complete the team
he remembered ihe youn^Californian, and
telegraphed him an offer which Terrill
has accepted. He has instructions to re
port at Louisville, Ky., May 15, and will
leave here the latter part of next week.
The rain yesterday necessitated the post
ponement of the faces to be run at Oak
land for the benefit of Fabiola Hospital
until Saturday, May 11. By this time,
however, E. C. Bald, the great class B
man. will be in the East, as he leaves here
with the rest of the Colombia team to
morrow.
C. S. Wells will not go East with the
Columbia team, as has been reported. He
may go on the Syracuse team with Dirn
berger, Terrill and Decardy, the great long
distance ride.
All the races to be run at Santa Rosa
May 9, in connection with the rose carni
val, will be class A events. There will be
a half-mile invitation race for visiting
wheelmen, while the rest of the races will
be open only to the wheelmen of Sonoma
County. Here is the list of events:
Half-mile scratch, open 10 Santa
Rosa wheelmen only; one-mile handicap,
half-mile handicap, quarter-mile scratch,
two-mile scratch, Sonoma County cham
pionship.
F. H. Kerrigan, president of the Bay
City Wheelmen, will leave Saturday for a
two weeks' wheeling trip through Sonoma,
County. W. C. Erode of the same club has
returned from his trip to Los Angeles.
Captain Dodge has called a "blind picnic
run" for the Bay City Wheelmen for next
Sunday, to some point not over lifteen
miles away, the destination being known
only to the captain. The start will be
made from the clubhouse at 9:30 a. m. Un
attached wheelmen cordially Invited.
The cornerstone of a monument to Gari
baldi was laid on Monte GJanicolo, in
Rome, a few dnys ago. The King and
Queen and Ministers were present.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1895.
ATHLETES GOING EAST
The Picked Men of Califor
nia's University After
Honors.
WILL LEAVE THIS MORNING.
Challenges Accepted From Wis
consin and Chicago for the
Return.
The University of California athletic
team, consisting of eleven men. will leave
this morning at 7 o'clock for Princeton.
They will go in the special train char
tered by the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation as far as Chicago, and then on to
Princeton, where they are billed to meet
the Princeton College men on the 11th
inst.
Manager North left last week to arrange
the details of the different contests in
which the team is expected to enter, and
Fred W. Koch, Captain University of
California Athletic Team.
•will be at Princeton on the date of their
arrival, to meet them.
The training quarters on Doud street,
Berkeley, were the scene of great activity
all day yesterday. The athletes were
busily engaged in packing trunks, casing
bicycles, arranging their wardrobes and
biddine their friends farewell.
Captain Koch said last night at the re
ception tendered the team by the students
at Stiles Hall that everything was in read
iness for the trip and that the men were
anxiously waiting for the hour of leaving
to come." He said that the team was never
in better condition and that if they all
fe?l as well on the day they meet Prince
tan as they do now some startling records
will be made.
He had just received word that the Uni
versity of Wisconsin wishes to meet the
team on their return trip, and that the
Chicago Athletic Club has made a good
offer for a meet to take place about the
middle of June.
These two propositions for contests were
entirely unexpected and in all probability
their challenges will be accepted.
The Chicago Athletic Club is composed
i of member^from the different colleges in
; the vicinity" and is said to have a large
j membership of well-trained athletes.
Enough money has been loaned the team
\ to pay their expenses until they enter a
j field day from which some returns will
i come.
An elegant present, consisting of two
silk banners with embroidered bear and
the word "California" on each was pre
sented yesterday to the team by the U. C.
Alumni Association.
The contests arranged for up to date in
•which the team will enter are as follows:
Princeton, May 11; Pennsylvania. May 1R:
American intercollegiate championship. New
York, >lav2s: Western championship, Chicago,
June 1: uniYentty of MichigHn, June 8; Il
linois or Denver athletic clubs, June 15.
CHINESE FISH ARTISTS.
A Scheme by Which a Falling
Industry Was Re
vived.
Something About the King Salmon
of Ec! River— An English,
Gun License.
The Chinese know a thing or two in the
way of increasing their sales of fish. The
latest scheme is unquestionably both novel
and ingenious. The crafty Mongolian
fishmonger has found that the carp, shad,
flounder,etc..will not keep fresh many hours
in warm weather unless placed in a cold
storage house, and as ice is a commodity
which the Chinese seldom or never use as a
means of preserving their fish, some of
the enterprising fish-dealers of Chinatown
have hit upon a plan for deceiving the un
suspecting housewives who have only one
positive way of ascertaining whether fish
offered for sale is fresh or not.
In the last year or so several Chinese
peddlers have embarked in the business of
peddling fish and fruit about town, and
one of the Mongolians stated yesterday
that as the fish trade was falling off be
cause of the difficulty in keeping the fish
in a fresh and palatable state something
had to be done to offset the present depres
sion in business.
"You see," said one of the leading man
! agers of Chinatown, when asked what he
1 intended doing with a number of carp and
i flounders whose eilb had just been painted
I a bright red, "those fish were rapidly be
coming stale, as you may see by a glance
at the gills of the ones that have not vet
received a brushing up. We cannot afford
to throw them away, and it is almost im
f)ossible to sell any fish whose gills have
ost their pink or reddish tint.
"The first thing a purchaser will do is to
examine the gills, and if they are of a
bright color a sale can be easily made;
but on the other hand if the gills are
pallid the purchaser will push the fish
aside as being worthless and unfit for table
use. We now paint the gills, as you may
see, and the deception works like a charm.
We have saved a business that was almost
gone, on the strength of a little paint and
the knack of knowing how to use it.' Any
person anxious to see the fish artists of
Chinatown at work can get full particulars
from Police Officer Cullen, whose beat is
in the Chinatown district.
J. W. Monroe, a merchant of Fortuna,
Humboldt County, is at present on a visit
to this City. Being passionately fond of
shooting and fishing, Mr. Monroe has
taken an active interest in the preserva
tion of the fish and game of Humboldt
County. He states that the game and fish
laws are being well observed in the north
for the good reason that poachers who
were caught were heavily fined. Angling
in the Eel River will not be good until
July and August, when the small steel
heads of one pound weight will visit the
stream in large numbers. Next to arrive
are the large steelhoads, which take their
departure on ;the arrival of the chub and
king salmon. The latter is a very game
fish, and many of them caught by net
fishermen have weighed as much as fifty
pounds. At the present time the best fish
ing is in the Van Dusen.
When Miss Annie Oakley was visiting
England she had to take out a gun license
which gave her the right to "carry and
use" a gun. The following is a copy "of the
permit:
Miss Annie Oakeley of Eardley Crescent. S.
W., in the Parish of West firompton, within
the Administrative County* Middlesex, is
hereby authorized by the Commissioner of In
land Revenue to CARRY AND USE A GUN
from the date hereof until and including the
31st day of July next following: the sum of
TEN SHILLINGS having been paid for this
licence.
Granted at Hereford, this 26th day of Decem
ber, 1894, by A. J: Denshame.
N. B. This licence is of no avail in a pro
claimed district In Ireland unless the bearer
be duly authorized to carry arms.
*if the residence is within an administrative
county borough insert "borough."

BOXING AND ATHLETICS.
The King and Pepperg Fistic Entertain
ment—A New Athletic
Scheme.
The Imperial Athletic Club at Colma
will be opened on the evening of the 24th
inst. under new management. Professors
Joseph McAuliffe, Barney Farley and
Charles Bergen et al. have transferred their
interest in the club to two well-known
sporting men, and the latter propose to
give a boxing entertainment every month
should the sporting public give the pas
time a liberal patronage.
The card for the opening night will be a
twenty-round contest between Joe King
and Henry Peppers (colored). The pugi
lists have signed an agreement to fight for
a purse and a share of the gate receipts at
160 pounds.
King will train for the mill at a resort
near the Cliff House, and Peppers will go
through his drill daily in the vicinity of
Golden Gate Park.
The colored freak has taken into his
imaginative thinking box the idea that
bicycle riding is the best of all outdoor ex
ercises, and he proposes to do considerable
riding from now until the day assigned for
tho heavy-weight fistic dispute.
There is some talk of matching Tom
Barry against one of the old-time boxers
for a ten-round "go," which will be her
alded as the "curtain-raiser" to the event
of the evening.
The amateur athletic clubs of the East
ern States have discovered* a scheme
through which thfcy hope to popularize an
outdoor pastime, which of late years has
fallen off considerably in public favor. In
a letter to a member of the Olympic Club
from New York it is stated that the Ath
letic Association of the University of Penn
sylvania has hit upon a novel plan for in
ducing ladies to take greater interest in
athletics.
The scheme is to issue season tickets to
the ladies at the nominal price of $2. These
tickets are good for entrance to all athletic
contests and entitle the holder to the
choicest seats of the grand stand.
The Olympic Club of this city might pro
fit by the system now in vogue* in the East
by adopting a similar plan. It is safe to
say that if the Olympics should hit upon a
scheme by which they can fill their grand
stand with ladies when athletic meetings
are held the men would quickly tiock to
the grounds. Without the presence of
ladies, however, amateur sports cannot
hope to be made popular anywhere.
NO EASY WORK FOR THEM.
Fish Commissioners Who Have
Trouble to Collect
Licenses.
A Night on the Sacramento River
That Fishermen Will
Remember.
The Fish Commissioners have by no
means the easy sailing that a majority of
the people of this State imagine. The gen
eral belief is that the oflice of Fish Com
missioner is, in respect to ease, like water
falling from a duck's back. This is a great
mistake, and the sooner the people of the
State who are interested in the lish and
game interests are acquainted with the true
facts the better it will be for all concerned.
It must be remembered that the officers
of the Fish Commission receive no salary.
The office is solely one of honor, and is
sought after only by men who are deeply
interested in the preservation and mainte
nance of the game and fish of this State.
In brief, only anglers and sportsmen iaj
the true sense will accept such an office.
The public, which comprises all sorts of
men with divers ideas, »have opinions to
express regarding the doings of the new
Fish and Game Commission, but few of
the people most deeply interested in the
subjects that pertain to game and fish will
interest themselves to the extent of paying
a visit to the headquarters of the commis
sion and acquiring information which will
not only place them in a position to argue
correctly tne doings of the commission,
but in case of any matter in dispute they
will be fortified with facts sufficient to
knock out any opinions that cannot be
I grounded on facts.
The ¥'\ih Commissioners are doing valu
able work in the interest of the citizens of
the State. The salmon, which is unques
tionably the most edible and marketable
of Hsh sold by the fish merchants of this
City, would certainly become extinct \n
the near future if 'the professional net
lishermen were allowed an unrestricted
right toward depleting the rivers aud
! bays of this table fish.
It is a well known fact that the net
fishermen, who are principally composed
of Greeks and Italians, do not observe any
law, and will catch salmon at adl seasons
if permitted to do so. Those foreigners pay
; no attention to the law, and, unless they
should be restricted from catching fish
during prescribed months of the year when
the salmon are on the run to their spawn
ing grounds, it would not be many years
hence when the king of food fishes would
be as scarce in the markets of this City as
the highly prized pompano.
As an illustration to evidence the an
noyance the Deputy Fish Commissioners
meet with occasionally when collecting
licenses from the professional fishermen
it is oniy necessary to cite one instance in
which blood was shed before the deputies
could convince the foreigners that the law
must be observed. It was last Saturday
night when Deputies W. F. McFarland
and J.H. Davis ran down upon a crew of
net fishermen who were illegally catching
salmon. Their nets were confiscated and
the fishermen placed under arrest. The
transgressors of the law were escorted to
Collinsville and fined, but when they re
gained their boats they became abusive
and insulting and threatened the Deputy
Commissioners with all kinds of damage.
McFarland, to guard himself against at
tack, was compelled to puil his pistol in
defense, and a young fellow who flourished
a knife in his face was saved from being
made a target of by the interference of his
father, who stepped between the deputy
and the man who swore he would carve
the Commissioner into mincemeat. All
this disturbance was caused by the Greek
fishermen, who thought that they had a
perfect right to fish at all times and all
seasons, regardless of the law, which they
looked upon as being a dead letter. Un
fortunately, there are some country
Judges who take sides with the lawbreak
ers, and, as a matter of course, tne deputy
Fish Commissioners have reason to com
plain against the treatment they receive
from Judges and juries who are favorably
disposed toward a class of men who are a
bugbear to the interests of the commission
and the people of the State.
THE CEIOKETEES.
Ganies That Aro on the Slate for Next
Sunday— A Visit to Penryn.
The cricketers will be well represented
next Sunday at Alameda and Berkeley.
At the former place the Alameda and Cali
ornia Cricket clubs will cross bats, and at
Golden Gate the Bohemians and Pacifies
.will try conclusions. If the Pacifies should
defeat, the Bohomians they will remain in
first place in the race for the Hunter-Har
rison" cup, but, on the other hand, should
the Bohemians score a victory and the
Alamedas defeat the Californias, then the
Pacifies, Alamedas and Californias will be
on an equality.
It is believed that the Alamedas
will defeat the Californias at Alameda, but
at Golden Gate the result is in doubt. The
Pacifies have made arrangements to play
a two days' match with the Citrus Colony
Club at Penryn on May 18 and 19, and the
Alamedas will follow with a two days'
match with the same club at Penryn later
in the season.
SCIENTIFIC HANDBALL.
Riordan and Wren Defeat Donnelly and
Bonnet — The Coming Tour
nament.
Riordan and W T ren of the Union hand
ball court played Donnelly and Bonnet of
the Occidental court at the latter court
last night. The court was crowded and a
large number of ladies w«re in the upper
gallery.
The mutch was the best of five games, 21
aces. Each game was closely contested
and until the last the excitement was kept
up. The final game was won by Riordan
and Wren, largely owing to Wren's mag
nificent service.
Following was the score:
Ttiordan and Wren 21 16 17 21 21
Donnelly and Bonnet 16 21 21 13 6
The tournament at the Occidental court
for the team amateur championship of the
coast, which was to have commenced last
night, has been postponed till May 15
owing to unavoidable causes. The (Acci
dental Club will have a meeting to-morrow
night to select the handicapper, judge and
scorer. From the large number of entries
already received the event will prove a
great success, the more especially as the
gold medals to be presented by the club
will be worthy of the occasion.

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 1.-Weather
fine and track fast. It was Jadies' day and
a large crowd was present. Two favorites,
two outsiders and a second choice won the
five events. The feature of the day was
the Melbourne stakes, in which the crack
colt Glacier was made an odds-on favorite,
and finished fourth to Lady Inez, who
could not win a purse race yesterday. Bet

CHICAGO, 111., May I.— The regular
racing season in Chicago opened auspi
ciously at the Hawthorne track to-day.
The card was not an impressive one, few
of the good horses stabled at the track
being ready to race, but the quality of the
field was good enough to give the Cicero
course, which is now lightning fast, a few
new records. William T easily beat George
F. Smith in the opening race, doing the
five furlongs in :59^. Ashland's mile in
1:40% also lowered the track record, as did
the Ironmaster's one and an eighth mile 3.

BUKIED IN JEWELS.
The Magnificent Ornaments of Some Un
earthed Mammies.
The following most curious account of
a remarkable discovery appears in the
Academy of March 16^ which says: "Mr.
H. Villiers Stuart writes to the secretary
of the Egyptian Exploration Fund from
Cairo under date of March 4, as follows : 'A
few days ago there was discovered at
Dashour the graves of two princesses of
the twelfth dynasty intact. The coffins
had moldered away, and the mummies
lay each with a coronet on her head, and
wearing other jewelry. When an attempt
to move the mummies was made they fell
to fragments. The jewelry is very beauti
ful. One of the coronets was, in fact, a
wreath of forget-me-nots, made of precious
stones, mounted in gold stems. At inter
vals occurred Maltese crosses and precious
stones set in gold. This lovely wreath was
as perfect and' looked as fresh as on the
day it was made— a couple of centuries be
fore the time of Abraham !— more than
4000 yiars ago. It illustrates a passage in
the poetic epitaph on the funeral pall of
Queen Is-em-Kheh, "She is armed with
flowers every day." I visited Dashour and
saw, in situ, the sarcophagus in which
these treasures were found, as also that of
the other princess. She also had a lovely
coronet, fitted with a socket in which was
inserted a spray of various Mowers made
in jewels, with gold stems and gold foliage.
Besides these, there are necklaces, brace
lets, armlets, anklets, daggers, charms, etc.
These most interesting discoveries are due
to the energy ana sagacity of M. de Mor
gan, director-general of Egyptian antiqui
ties, ably seconded by lime, de Morgan
his sifted wife."
