8 THE BAY DISTRICT RACES. Favorites Succeeded In Cap turing Three of the Events Yesterday. SPEEDY SPORT M'AILISTER. The 3 to 5 Choice Commission Dis posed of His Field Very Impressively. Johnny Coleman made a few mild bets on Raphael. The big chestnut could not raise a gallop. Thomas H. Williams Jr. leaves for the East Saturday on business appertaining to the com ing winter meeting of the California Jockey Club. Ali Baba is now set down as a coming Flood more. He certainly showed well for a begin ner, and may fulfill his admirers' high ex pectations. Youner Mclntyre, who had the mount on Clara Johnson in the two -year -old race ' scraped his foot against the inside fence, and now Mac has a couple of sore toes. Chevalier was twice in front yesterday, and finished second on the Gladette gelding in the two-year-old event, and in the same position with Claudius in the mile-and-seventy-yard run. The clever colored boy made a combina tion with all of his mounts for a place, and after the fourth race cashed his ticket calling for $300 against $ 10. If the people that assembled at the Bay j District track yesterday expected to see Little Cripple and Commission fight the mile and seventy-yard run out in a life and death struggle, they were disappointed. There were but four entries in the race, and the two horses named opened at 7 to 5 each. The coin that was in waiting to be played on the "White and Clarke entry nearly swamped the bookies, his price speedily being cut to 3 to 5, and Little i Cripple's receding until 4 to 1 was offered against him, going to the post. Then the cry went up from those that got their money in too soon, "Cripple is a dead one." He ran, however, like an animal that ■was very much alive, and to have won yes- j terday he would had to have shown better form "than he has ever yet shown during ! his racing career, for Commission was a I race horse yesterday, and no mistake. He allowed Norrnandie to make the running to the stretch, where he assumed the lead, and won in a big gallop in 1 :46. Claudius came with a surprising burst of speed the i last forty yards and beat the hard-ridden I Little Cripple out a half length for the place. The talent were fairly successful during the day, three favorites, a second and a third choice getting the coin. The jumpers were out again in full force, seven going to the post in the steeplechase. Josie G was thought to be a "castiron" for the opening five-furlong scramble, going to the post 8 to 5, but after leading until a sixteenth from home quit, ana Mount Carlos, the third choice, won in a drive by a length from Auteuil, who had second call in the betting, in 1:02. What failings Alto llio had as a race horse he is endeavoring to atone for in the stud. His son. Charlie Boots, starting a 7 to 5 choice, gathered in the half-mile dash for maiden two-year-olds very impres sively, winning as he pleased from Gladette gelding, an 8 to 1 chance, in •A 9%. Miss Cunningham, a paddock tip, was a poor third. Sport McAllister loomed up like a stake horse among the three "dubs" that were pitted against him in the five-furlong dash that was third on the card. He was backed from 11 to 20 to 2 to 5 and won with his head in his rider's lap. Two lengths away Red Dick and Dolly M fought it out for second place, the former gaining the verdict by a nose. The winner's time was 1:01}*. Two jumpers and five that were sup posed to be jumpers started in the steeple chase. Ali Baba, who was to make his debut over the sticks, had first call in the betting, with 6to 5 against him when the odds were posted, but gave way to Mendo cino, whose price was cut from 8 to 5 to 13 to 10. Ali Baba's odds finally reached 2to 1, when he was backed down again to 3to 2. The debutante won very handily at the finish, and after being well up in front all through the running. Mendocino. the favonte, finished second, a length and a half in front of Yangedene. J OC, who loomed up most promisingly and who un doubtedly would have captured second money, stumbled after talcing the last jump, throwing his rider. Mulholland. SUMMARY. San Francisco.

HUNTERS QUAY, Scotland, July 11.— The Ailsa and the Britannia started to-day in a race over the usual course. Both boats carried jib-headed topsails and all their lower sails. The wind was strong from the south. They crossed the line very nearly together. The Britannia worked to the windward and obtained the weather berth of the Ailsa, which she held at Skelmorlie, that mark being rounded as follows: Britannia, 11:07:55; Ailsa, 11 :08 :50. From Skelmorlie it was a dead heat to Ascog. The wind was blowing Btrong, and the race at this point was close and ex citing. The Britannia rounded Ascog at 11:45:05 and the Ailsa at 11:46:09. The boats were running free under light wind, with spinnakers and jib topsails set. The Britannia continued to hold a lead of about three clear lengths. The Britan nia rounded Kilcreggan at 12:52:20 and the Ailsa at 12:53:05. It was now a dead heat for the commodore's boat, the Britan nia holding close to the Ailsa's weather. The commodore's boat was rounded as follows: Britannia, 1:12:21; Ailsa, 1:13:35. The Britannia rounded Skelmorlie at 2:18:10 and the Ailsa at 2:20:45. Round ing Ascog the Britannia was still further in the lead. The rounding was made at these times: Britannia, 2:50:07; Ailsa 2:56:48. Both boats were becalmed for an hour after passing Ascog, when a light breeze sprang up and they moved slowly up the channel, the Britannia a long way in the lead. The last part of the race was very slow, indeed. Tne Britannia got the best of the wind and increased her lead greatly, rounding Kilcreggan too far in advance to be caught up with. The times of rounding the Kilcreggan mark were: Britannia, 5:06:27; Ailsa, 5:29:18. The wind was very light. Britannia won, finishing at 5:45:20; Ailsa, 5:59:58. The twenty-raters also started, the Da kotah at 10:45:07, the Niagara at 10:45:15 and the Zinita at 10:45:33. The Eucharist did not start. The twenty-raters finished the first round in this order: Zinita 12:24:58, Niagara 12:25:40, Dakotah 12:31:35. The Zinita had a good lead over the Niagara on the way to the weather mark on the second round. The Niagara gained the lead on the beat to windward and held it to the finish, winning with ease. They finished this way: Niagara 2:28:21, Zinita 2:27:49, Dakotah 2:38:05. FAIR'S STOLEN WILL. Captain Lees and Private Detectives in Consultation Till Midnight— No New Developments. Captain Lees and Private Detective Cur tin were in consultation yesterday after noon and last night in connection with the stolen will of Senator Fair. During the night W. H. Davis, the con fidential clerk of Private Detective Stil well, visited the captain's office accompan ied by Chief Deputy County Clerk Piper. Davis is the man who was mixed up in the loss of the will. He and Piper were closeted with Captain Lees for more than an hour late at night, and after he left the door closed again on Curtin and Lees, who remained together till midnight. Captain Lees stated that nothing new had developed in the matter, and, though ail sorts of rumors about arrests made during the evening had been circulated connecting the prisoners with the theft of the will, he denied that the arrests had any connection whatever with the case. A Chimney Fire. An alarm was turned in from box 64 last night, about 9 o'clocK, for a small chimney fire on Howard street, near Fifth. No damage was done. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1895. THE STREET COMMITTEE Spring Valley Company Ob jects to the Lowering of a Grade. PROTEST AGAINST MONOPOLY. The Petition of the Point Lobos Im provement Club for Red Rock Denied. The Street Committee *of the Board of Supervisors met yesterday, Messrs. Hughes, Dunker, Morgenstern and Benja min being present. Hughes presided and the session, which began at 11:30 o'clock, lasted until after 5. The Point Lobos Im provement Company had two important petitions before the body, both of which were denied. It desired to have the office of City engineer vacated and a new one created, and also to have the macadam or dinance eliminated in so far as it affected the pavement of certain property in the district. Attorney Kellopg and Engineer Schuss ler appeared on behalf of the Spring Val ley Water Company to protest against changing and lowering the grade on Seventh avenue and H street. Attorney Kellogg begged the committee to defer action on the matter, saying that the board would be enjoined if the work was ordered. Engineer Schussler said that the work was unnecessary and it would entail a vast amount of useless trouble in moving the mains, and would place the entire Western Addition at the mercy of fire. The main in question, he said, was the main artery of the water supply in that portion of the City. The change of the grade was asked for, he said, in order to gain another entrance to the park, which, be understood, the Commissioners would not permit. He had spoken to Chief Sulli van, who assured him that the shutting off of the water supply would be a very dangerous proceeding. Further debate of the matter was postponed until Septem ber 5. The protest of the Point Lobos Improve ment Club against the rattler test of rock obtaining where pavements are to be laid in and around Point Lobos avenue and in the Richmond district was next heard. George R. Fletcher, superintendent of the Odd Fellows' cemetery, voiced the objections of the property-owners. He said that portion of the City was growing, that considerable improvements were now in the course of progress. Sewers had been laid and if blue rock were now to be put in it would be at great loss to the property owners. He asked that the macadam ordinance be not made to apply to that district. For years the people had been satisfied with the red rock macadam and were still satisfied with it. Gray Bros., he said, handled the only rock which could stand the rattler test, and consequently there could be no competition for the work. There would be long hauls of material and the contractors could charge any price they pleased. On the other hand, the material which is being used is easily accessible and the property-owners will have their pavements laid at a reasonable figure. The committee took the matter under advisement, and later in the afternoon de nied the petition on I the ground that its predecessors had ruled the same way and that it saw no reason to change. The City Improvement Company asked to be released from its contract to pave Scott street, between Hayes and Fell. The Market-street Railway Company, it was stated, had removed "its tracks," but had not relinquished its franchise. A legal question, consequently, had arisen as to whether the Market-street Company should pay its proportion of the expenses. The petition was referred to the Superintendent of Streets, to ascertain the obligations of the Market-street Railway Company and to require it to pay for the portion to which it had a franchise. A petition was received from the Point Lobos Improvement Club, asking for the appointment of a City Engineer. The olhce is now tilled by statute by the Sur veyor. The petition dwelt on the impera tive necessity of having such an officer in the employ of the City. "Questions of importance," it noted, "have arisen which have shown that your honorable board has had no engineering talent on its staff to meet the corporations and governing bodies which had been called into existence within this City." Attention is then called to the engineers of the water and railroad companies, and the employment of an engineer by the Harbor Commissioners. The petition cites that the board, in a few days, will be asked to place hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hands of inexperienced men to make streets, roads and boulevards. The engineer of the City, it is said, should be a member ex-officio of the Board of Health and the Board of Fire Commission ers. In conclusion the board was asked to adopt and pass such resolutions to estab lish the olhce to be governed by the rules of the civil service; to be composed of an engineer in charge, one or more draughts men and a secretary, all the appointments to be made by the engineer. The engineer shall pass on the qualifica tion of inspectors of public work and the Superintendent of Streets shall be answer able for the faithful performance of the duties assigned to the inspectors. The idea of the petitioners, it was said, is to create the office of engineer for Pro fessor George Davidson in compliment to the work he has done for the Pacific Coast. The committee decided that the board had no authority to declare the position of City Engineer vacant as it was fixed by statute. Property-owners on Page street, between Fillmore and Market, appeared before the committee to inquire if the Market-street Railway Company intended building a street railroad according to the terms of its franchise. They desired to have the street payed, they said, and were desirous of knowing the position of the railroad company. The clerk was instructed to ascertain what the company proposed doing with the franchise. It was decided to report in favor of the protest against the grading of Eighth street between Division and King and the protest of George K. Frink against paving the crossing of Berry and Fifth. The following petitions will be reported favorably: P. H. Livingston, to erect and maintain an electiic-light sign at 415 Kearny street; William Hannagan, to re move a building from Chestnut street, be tween Mason and Taylor, to the corner of Montgomery avenue and Francisco street: property-owners, against paving Howard street, from Twenty-fifth to Twenty-sixth; David Kelleher, to "contract with the City for constructing a sewer in Van Ness av enue, between Lombard and Greenwich streets; J. J. Fly tin, to contract with the City for a sewer in Thirteenth avenue, be tween California and Clement ; streets; property-owners, for the removal of rock from Tenth avenue, between Railroad avenue and M street south ; E. Donnelly, to blast at 417 to 421 Green street. Upon the recommendation of the Street Superintendent it was decided to report in favor of the acceptance of the following streets: Bay, from Hyde to Larkin ; Broderick, from Geary to O'Far rell, and from Clay to Washington ; Con verse, fram Brannan northerly; Haight, from Lyon to Lott ; Jackson, from Baker to Lyon; Jones, from Clay to Washington; Octavia, from Filbert to Greenwich; Pieice, from Fulton to McAllister; Scott, from Oak to Fell ; Twenty-first, from Capp to Howard, and from Mission to Capp- Union, from Sterner to Pierce; Vande water, from Mason to Taylor; crossings of Broderick and O'Farrell, Bay and Hyde, Broadway and Steiner, Jones and Washington, Twenty -first and Capo, Union and Pierce, and Walter and Brod enck; also, the conditional acceptance of Mariposa terrace, from Harrison north westerly. An amendment was made to the street ordinance providing that when basalt blocks are to be laid on grades under 6 per cent, concrete foundations must be used. A CASE OF EVICTION. T. B. Mills and His Family Turned Out Into the Street for Arrears of Bent. T. B. Mills, 113 Fell street, called at police headquarters last night, and re ported a case of eviction that had the ele ments of cruelty in it. He had been living for some time in the house, which is rented by Mrs. J. W. Telfer. He works along the water front and has a hard struggle to support his wife and two young children, the youngest being only six weeks old. He was in arrears with the rent of his room to the extent of $9. Mrs. Telfer had been pressing him for payment, and on Wednesday night he gave her $1 50, and promised to pay the balance next week. He thought this was satisfac tory, and went to his work yesterday morn ing thinking his troubles were over for the time being. Last night when he reached home he found his wife and two children in the street, the latter with only their night gowns on. Just as his wife was putting the children to bed Mrs. Telfer decoyed her out of the house. Then one of Mrs. Telfer's male roomers passed the two children out of the front window to her and left them standing on the street not knowing what to do. Mills tried to get the landlady to take them inside, but she refused, and he did not know what to do as he had no money to go anywhere else. Mills after telling his story broke down when he was told that the police could do nothing for him and went away in search of a place to shelter his wife and children. RACES AT ASBURY PARK An Exciting Heat in the Mile Championship Ends in a Tie. Eddy Bald Takes the Mile Open Event and Butler the Two- Mile Dash. ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 11.— The rain which fell this morning upon the trial heats of the first day's racing of the League of American Wheelmen's National meet ceased before the afternoon's work began, although lowering clouds lingered and damp breezes threatened during the entire session. The weather, however, had little diminishing effect upon the crowd which tilled the grand stand and went a large way out on the new bleachers. The officers of the day included Referee Albert Motti, Baltimore; fudges— Fred Gerlach, member racing board, Chicago; Robert Gentle, chief consul. New Jersey; G. A. Perkins, vice-president League of American Wheelmen, Boston ; timers — A. A. Zimmerman, Manasquan; Sterling Elliot, chief consul, Massachusetts division, Boston; C.F.Wilson, Mountclair, N. J. ; starter, C. A. Dimon, Philadelphia; handi capper, S. W, Merrihew. The racing was all of a high order, and unexpectedly free from accidents, con sidering the dangerous banking on the turns. The main interest to-day lay in the single professional event. Zimmerman and Wheeler paced on a tandem, which Fred Stone caught, with Berlo, Starbuck, Eaton, Bartholomew, Cutter and McCurd lagging on in the order named. The pace was too hot, however, and Stone soon lost the tandem and fell atj the three-quarters. Berlo did the rest alone. However deserving of attention the pro fessional event may nave been, as a novelty and curio, the beat racing and liveliest performances were seen in the class B con tests. Cabanne having been laid out in a heat of the morning, Bald, McDonald, Titus and Gardiner were left to fight it out in three races — a half-mile, a mile open and the two-mile National championship. The first heat of the mile was a "beauty." McDonald, Titus, Scott and Earl started. Earl made the gait for the first half, when McDonald went up, taking Titus with him. These giants hung to each other until the quarter pole, at which post Titus ran out and gained twenty yards before McDonald saw him. Then came a memor able rush down the stretch, McDonald gaining at every inch and Titus forging along like a Kansas cyclone. The men almost touched elbows as they flashed over the tape at the same instant, Monte Scott beating Earle easily for third place. The judges announced it a dead heat. The other heats were less exciting. Dur ing the afternoon Mayo and Saunders, and the two Johnsons, _ Louis and Ernie, went in to pace, respectively, the halves of the two-mile National championship, in which Coulter, Gardiner, Nat Butler, Kiser, Stovve, Caldwell and Terrell started. Little Kiser and Gardiner made a game fight for the tandem at the push-off and Kiser got it. At a yard from the mark Butler jumped ahead and the others came over with, wheels lapping. In the mile open, Bald, the Columbia crack, sustained his reputation for this sort of thing, although he had his hands full in doing so, for Titus showed his old form and came within an inch or two of the prize. It was a great day's sport, but bet ter is piomised for to-morrow and Satur day. This evening the annual Bar Carnival is being held on Wesley Lake, eclipsing all former water pageants.

It is projected some what on the plan of the Knights of Labor, with the asserted difference of a desire to enter actively into politics. The organizers and prime movers to the army are promi nent members of the local branch of the American Railway Union, the president of which, E. D. Marlett, being also president of the newly instituted order. The members were drilled and in structed in military tactics last night by Edward L. Farquher, an ex-United States soldier. A complete set of regular military officers will be elected and a signal corps formed. There were about twenty members pres ent last night, ana after a short sermon with closed doors a drill was given. It is proposed to get into trim to make an appearance on Labor day, and to en gage Central Park as soon as a sufficient number of the members are trained. No muskets have as yet been purchased, but that they will form part of the equipment may be inferred from the statement of Drillmaster Farquher, who said that the new Krag-Jorgensen rifle would make a change in the tactics as now taught, by MEN'S FURNISHINGS!

"The army proposes to meet every Thursday at 1159 Mrssiort street.^' said President Marlett last night. "It must not be supposed that the slim attendance here to-night is any indication of a lack of interest, as we are rapidly gaining mem bers and will be able to present a formid able appearance when the time comes for us to assert ourselves. Our motto is, 'The wageworker for the wageworker.' And we think if we go at it right we will make a showing at the polls that will win. We will use the ballot and not arms, as is claimed." Not Lost, but Visiting. A little girl 5 or 6 years old stood at a gate on Cass avenue the other day as a policeman came along and just at that moment a dog came trotting up and sat down as if at home. "That's no lost dog." explained the child, as she saw the policeman eying the canine. "it's your dog, perhaps?" he inquired. "No, sir; it's not our dog, but we visit back and forth with the family in which it resides."— Detroit Free Press.
