NEWS OF THE COAST
Close of the Veterans'
Encampment at Santa
Monica.
THE FINAL FESTIVITIES;
A Handsome Badge Presented
to the Popular Retiring
Commander.
THANKS EXTENDED TO ALL.
An Important Recommendation to
Be Made Concerning Soldiers*
Homes.
SANTA MONICA, Cal., Aug. 14.-To
day, the last day of the camp, finds a num
ber of those who have been here the past
ten days called away before its close on
account of pressing duties at home, but
still a goodly number remain to sit around
the camphre and listen to the yarns, songs
and antics of the old soldiers.
The day was sort of go-as-you-please,
the campers being separated into groups,
comparing notes, etc., before the leave
taking to-morrow, when the G. A. R. gives
way to the Methodist Camp-meeting asso
ciation, which will occupy the grounds.
The tents, etc., will remain in the same
position as during the present encamp
ment.
The chief interest of the day centered in
the camplire in the evening, although the
militia boys in their various evolutions,
including a broom drill, helped to while
away a pleasant hour.
An artist of ability struck camp about 2
p. m. and monopolized Chief of Staff
Kutz's blackboard by placing on it life
like pictures of Commander Dill and
Sister Ellson, with the motto, "It Is So
Hard to Part," also one of Colonel Brooker,
Sam Kutz, the newly elected commander,
George T. Browning, Comrade Duzenbury
and J. W. Van Horn coming into camp at
2 a. m., with the motto "We Won't Go
Home Till Morning."
The ladies have been busy organizing
women's auxiliaries to the various State
associations, the qualifications being that
the member must be a resident of the
State and loyal to "Old Glory." Penn
sylvania was first in the field and organ
ized with thirty members, electing Mrs.
Bird Thomas of L.os Angeles, president;
Mrs. Ida 0. Lacey, Pasadena, vice-presi
dent; Mrs. Anna Thompson, Los Angeles,
treasurer, and Mrs. McCandless of Los
Angeles, secretary.
The ladies the other evening captured
the comrades and presented them with a
handsome badge with a keystone on it and
the word "Pennsylvania."
The Maine ladies and gentlemen organ
ized an association with a pine cone on its
badge. They started with seventeen mem
bers.
The Illinois ladies organized with Mrs.
Emily Brady of Pasadena president, Mrs.
Frar.cisca Austin^ vice-president and Mrs.
Alice Broadwell treasurer.
The ladies of the Pennsylvania aux
iliary entertained the Pennsylvania State
Association at supper to-night, at which a
large number of the comrades and ladies
sat down. President Salladay of the State
Association proposed the toast, "The
Ladies of Pennsylvania; ever loyal dur
ing the war and ever ready with their
kindly offices t£ comrades since," which
was happily responded to by the president
of the auxiliary, Mrs. Bird Thomas, who
said that it would be impossible for a
woman of Pennsylvania to be otherwise on
account of the patriotism of the soldiers of
the Keystone State.
An interesting reunion took place on the
grounds durine the encampment between
four comrades, who all left the same town
in Wisconsin, enlisted in the same com
pany and were together throughout the
war. They were B, P. Elliott of Santa
Monica, Samuel Lewis and Peter Williams
of Los Angeles and Charles Warren of
Simi, Ventura County. How they did
shake hands, what questions they did put
to each other, and how happy they were
over the reunion after thirty-four years of
separation .
The Call representative was the happy
recipient of a pleasant visit from the offi
cers of tne camp to-day at the journal
headquarter?, when he was presented with
the following testimonial of their regard:
Camt Fort Fisher, Aug. 14, 1895.
To J. C. Hemingway, representative of the San
FraHCltCO oaW— l>ear me; We, the undersigned,
take ihis opportunity to extend to Mr. C. M.
Shortridge and you, as his representative at
Camp Fort Fisher, the great regard we have for
the interest you have taken at all limes during
the encampment in the members and proceed
ings of the Southern California Veterans' Asso
ciation. We wish also to thank you for many
gentlemanly and obliging kindnesses shown to
one and all. We further wish to extend our
gratitude for the full, accurate and impartial
report* telegraphed from day to day to The
Call. The Call and yourself, we can assure
you. have made many friends among the old
Veterans of the southern portion of our State,
who will be its earnest champions when we re
turn to our various towns. Long may it live
and prosper.
Ella A. Van Horn, president of Woman's
Auxiliary.
Alice A. Fitch, past president of Woman's
Auxiliary.
Carrie A. House, past president of Woman's
Auxiliary.
Julie C. llobart, past president of Woman's
Auxiliary.
A. F. Dill, commander?. C. V. A.
Samuel Kurtz, chief of staff.
Henry Roach, adjutant.
.Tames Is. Summers, quartermaster.
H. P. Woodward, surgeon.
John Brooker, past commander.
Frank Hobart, past commander.
The camp fire in tne evening was most
enjoyable. The entertainment was opened
by Commander Dill, who was later super
seded by Colonel Brooker, who, in an ap
propriate address, presented Commander
Dill with a magnificent gold badge com
posed of a gold bar from which is sus
pended an anchor. Hanging midway be
tween the bar and anchor are the symbolic
letters "G. A. R." The anchor is a superb
piece of workmanship. In the center is a
■wreath of forget-me-nots surrounding a
handsome diamond. The top bar is in
scribed as follows: "Presented to Com
mander A. F. Dill by the Southern Califor
nia Veterans' Association, August 14,
1895."
Commander Dill then appointed Com
rades Kutz, Brooker and Roache a commit
tee of three to draft suitable resolutions for
the closing night of the encampment, and,
after a farcical entertainment by the Pasa
dena drum corps of a minstrel character,
the following resolutions were introduced :
MetetMtl, That the thanks of this encamp
ment are due and hereby tendered, first, to
Mrs. Ella Van Home, president; Mrs. Kate
Munson, treasurer, and the other officers and
members of the Woman's Auxiliary to whose
kiudly assistance and untiring efforts we owe
bo much; second, to Captain James Kennedy
and the officers and members of Company C,
Seventh Regiment, N. o. c. for guarding the
old soldiers for the past ten days and prevent
ing our capture by the enemy, coupled with
the hope that we shall meet them at our next
annual encampment; third, to Governor J. G.
Rowland, the officers and members of the
Pacific Coast branch of the National Home, for
the generous and soldiery welcome extended
-"8, and their fraternal acts (luring our stay in
their vicinity; fourth, to the citizens of Santa
Monica, one and all, regardless of creed or
party, whose open-hearted generosity has
made our stay in their midst so pleas
ant to us in the eighth annual encampment at
Santa Monica; fifth, to the Sons of Veterans
and Ladies' Aid Society, who assisted In many
ways in making camp life pleasant and agree
able; sixth, to the Los Angels Times, Herald,
Express, the San Francisco Call and Santa
Monica Outlook, and their efficient corps of
correspondents for courtesies extended, and
finally to every old comrade, his wife, mother,
cousin, sister-in-law, and to the widows and
orphans who have so kindly taken care of us
for the past ten days, and to all and everybody,
we extend thanks. Once more we tender them
our thanks, and bid them welcome to the next
encampment of the Southern California Vet
erans' Association.
Comrade Hartzel then sang "The Old
Copper Kettle." General Campbell then
made a few remarks introducing Hon.
Charles Curtis of Topeka. the son of a vet
eran, who addressed the audience:
The following resolutions were also in
troduced and passed.
Whereas, At the National homes for disabled
veterans there are persons employed as super
intendents, foremen, overseers, engineers, and
In other responsible and lucrative positions
who did not serve their country during the late
•wpt: and whereas, there are in the vicinity of
the Soldiers' Home skilled mechanics and
worthy citizens, taxpayers, owners of property,
perfectly competent to fill any position in said
homes, and «ho did serve their country from
18(51 to 1865; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we recommend and urge the
National Encampment of the G. A. R. to ask
Congress to attach the following to that por
tion of the general appropriation bill, making
an appropriation for said homes, to wit:
"Re*olvrd, That none of the moneys nerein ap
propriated will be paid to any civilian, super
intendent, foreman or overseer unless he has
served as a Union soldier or sailor during the
War of the Rebellion."
Retolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
forwarded to Commander Wilson, Department
of California and Nevada, G. A. R., and Hons.
James McLachlan and \V. W. Bowers, our Rep
resentatives in Congress.
STILL AT SAN DIEGO
The Monterrp JSrprctrd to Leave for San
Francisco Friday.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 14.— The United
States steamer Monterey is coaling to-day
and having repairs to the water condenser
completed. Sh« will sail Friday for San
Francisco, stopping en route at Redondo,
Santa Barbara and Monterey.
Each of her Ward boilers has 540 tubes,
and of these 120 have been found defective.
They have all been taken out. plugged up
and replaced. One officer says that the
boilers are not meant for long runs any
way, only to get up steam quickly when
needed.
When in the tropics no curio was ba*ed
to the men, and among their pets are fif
teen to twenty parrots and paroquets,
six ring-tailed and other monkeys, an ant
eater, etc.
Disposition of Jirv. Dr. Dean's Remains.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 14.— The son of
Rev. D. William Dean, the eminent mis
sionary, who died Monday, has telegraphed
for the body to be embalmed and for
warded to Rochester, N, V., for burial.
Memorial services will be held here in
the First Baptist Church on Monday
morning, in which all evangelical pastors
are asked to participate. The remains will
go by the afternoon train.
OLYMPIC CLUB OFFICERS
Those Men Who Will Head the
Regular Ticket in the Com
ing Election.
The Athletic Sections Will Put an
Opposition Ticket In
the Field.
The efforts of the nominating committee
of the Olympic Club to get together last
evening and agree on a ticket to represent
all factions in the club resulted in a clash,
and in consequence an opposition ticket is
assured at the coming election.
The outdoor and indoor athletes, repre
sented by P. R. Butts and Joseph S. Me-
Comb, insisted on being recognized. The
athletic section had Leonard Gill slated
for captain, Alex Forsyth for secretary and
Frank O'Kane for director, and when the
committee refused to receive these names,
Messrs. Butts and McComb at once re
signed and announced their intention of
putting up an opposition ticket.
The regulars did not come to any definite
conclusion owing to the fact that they did
not know whether their choices would ac
cept the offices tendered them and the
matter was left m abeyance until another
meeting, which will be held the latter part
of this week.
The names presented by the regulars
will probably be as follows:" H. J. Crocker,
president; J. 08. Gunn, vice-president;
H. B. Russ. treasurer; T. M. Pennell. sec
retary; E. N. Short, leader; John Elliott,
captain; Len Owens, F. R. Eaton, Joseph
P. Kelly, Harlow White and George New
hall, directors.
The opposition will hold a caucus in a
few days, when the ticket it advocates will
be made public.
It is understood that the nomination of
J. 08. Gunn, for vice-president, will be
fought tooth and nail and that Alex For
gyth will be the opposition candidate for
secretary.
It is said that H. J. Crocker's acceptance
of the nomination for president hinges on
Mr. Forsyth's acceptance of the nomina
tion for secretary, -*jid that the former will
withdraw in case the veteran secretary de
cides not to run.
Charles Morrill's fight for the leadership
is generally conceded to be dead.
Another meeting will be held on Friday,
when it is expected that more definite con
clusions will be arrived at.
"AMERICA."
American Words for the Good
Old Song, "America."
A Song for Public Schools, Sunday-
Schools and Churches.
A Song for Occasions of Patriotic Cele
bration.
Next Sunday The Call will publish a new
tune adapted to this grand National authem.
The tune of "God Save the Queen" is all well
enough in England, but in the United States it
Is out of place. The British have twitted
Americans upon their lack «f originality long
enpugh, because of this borrowing of their
National air. They say it would be as proper to
borrow their National ensign and they are
right. At last an American nan attempted to
supply the deficiency that hat so long existed.
Those who have heard the music played and
sung say that he has succeeded. The music
and words will be published in next Sunday's
Call. Sunday-schools and churches wishing
extra copies of the paper containing this song
should f^le orders in advance. The Call has
purchased the exclusive privilege of publica
tion in San Francisco. This Is an opportunity
for securing a meritous musical novelty for
Sunday-school and church services for 5 cents
a copy, which is less than you would have to
pay at a. music-store. In addition you secure
the other splendid features included in The
Sunday Call. Every Sunday-school in San
Francisco ought to ring with the music next
Sunday. It is simple yet soulful, and withal is
appropriate to the high theme to which it be
longs.
AsMumption of the Virgin.
One of the principal festivals of the Roman
Catholic church, the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin, will be observed throughout the arch
diocese of San Francisco to-day, with great
solemnity in all Roman Catholic churches.
The services will be as on Sunday, with a grand
high mass at the Cathedral and St. Ignatius at
10:30 a. K.-

[Special Correspondence of The Cam..]
ANGELS, Cal., Aug. 10.— The "gold
zone" at Angels is about three miles wide.
Within its boundaries are included about
every variety of gold formation known.
There are veins, seams, stringers, kidneys,
bunches and big and little bonanzas of every
conceivable shape and sizp. Within the
same vein numerous and unusual meta
morphoses seem to have occurred. Quartz,
slate, talc, greenstone, serpentine and half
and-half stuff that only an expert miner
alogist could classify mix and blend in a
bewildering manner. Bometimes all are
auriferous. Often the quartz is the poor
est stuff of the lot. The gold will some
times favor the slate, sometimes the
talc, and often the undefinable stuff.
Bright metallic, crystalline iron pyrites is
disseminated unevenly through all the vari
eties of rock. It would be condemned on
sight by most miners. It is all auriferous,
however, and often goes $100 to the ton,
which goes to prove the wise saying
that "gold occurs wherever it is found."
A "good judge of quartz" is lost at once
and soon becomes discreet in his opinions.
There are mill-rock veins a hundred feet
wide; pocket veins of an inch or so; placer
ground on the hillsides, and pay ground
on the bottom lands. The big veins are
all supposed to be children of the "mother
lode." They are separated from their
parent by "horses" of a hundred feet or
may be a mile, but in no case is an abso
lute divorce granted. They come together
again occasionally in a family reunion. In
this district the reunion occurs at Carson
Hill to the south and in the neighborhood
of San Andreas to the north. The big
children also have a numerous offspring,
which separate and reunite at intervals as
do their human prototypes.
Tne "true" mother lode at Angels is sup
posed to be that locally called the Gold
Cliff. West of it is the Smiths Flat dis
trict, the principal mines of which are the
Blair Consolidated. Eclipse, Gold Hill, Safe
Deposit, Smyth, Star of India, Turner and
Yellowstone. East the principal veins are
the Utica and Dead Horse. All the big
veins seem to split up and meander more
or less going north and consolidate going
south.
My previous letter was principally de
voted to the Tltica vein. In this I shall
confine myself mostly to its mother and
sister, the Gold Cliff on the west and Dead
Horse on the east. The importance of
these veins is appreciated by the Utica
Company at least. It has secured thou
sands of feet on both of them, and the re
turns from its 40-stamp mill on the Matson
mine attest the value of the Gold Cliff,
while its Last Chance shaft is said to afford
equally satisfactory evidence that they
have secured a good thing on the pead
Horse. The comimny has a drift through
the Dead Horse from their Utica workings
and is reported to have found rich ore in
that vein.
The same reasoning applies to the Gold
Cliff and Dead Horse veins as to the Utica.
They are of muoh the same size and gen
eral character; they have only been
scratched on the surface, except where tne
Utica Company has sunk on them; they
show pay ore at the lowest level. What
other evidence of their value can be ex
pected without going down to see?
The Mateon (Hayward & Lane, owners)
is the most important of the Gold Cliff
mines at present. A 40-stamp mill is in
constant operation. It has the deepest
workings in the district, being down over
1000 feet. The collar of the shaft is nearly
200 feet lower than the Utica. There are
immense reserves of low-grade ore on the
upper levels, and the ore at the lower levels
is said to be the best. This mine uses the
waste water from the Utica hoists and mill.
The cost of mining and milling is said not
to exceed $1 per ton.
Adjoining the Matson on the north is
the Gold Cliff mine, owned by the same
company. This mine affords the best ob
ject lesson in this district of the Bize and
character of the mother lode, there being
an immense open cut following the vein
several hundred feet long, a hundred feet
deep and a hundred feet wide in places. The
footwall is smooth and well defined, but
shows stringers of quartz making into it
in many places. The hanging wall is
broken and irregular; in fact, at the widest
place it is full of seams and bunches of
slate and talc and quartz that pay to mill,
and is not a wall at all in the sense of con
fining the vein matter. To the student of
lode formations or to the practical miner
contemplating prospecting at great depths
in this district some valuable lessons may
be learned in this big open cut. All is ex
posed here to the light of day and tho
problems that might seem instiperable in a
dark and narrow drift below are solved at
a glance.
The mill is reached by a tunnel about a
hundred yards long and at right angles
to the cut. The ore is blasted down and
run out in cars holding about a ton and a
half of rock. No sorting of rock is at
tempted. All is more or less auriferous,
and it can be worked so cheaply that every
thing is milled from the crass roots down
dirt, quartz, slate, talc and the metamor
phosed stuff. A force of five men easily
keep a twenty-stamp mill running. This
property is leased from Hayward & Lane
by N. Garrard, an experienced mine and
mill man, and I have his word that he can
work 50-cent rock at a profit. The condi
tions here are undoubtedly the most favor
able of any in the district, yet there are
the crawbacks of leased ground and water.
Eliminate these drawbacks and the possi
bilities of working big quantities of low
grade ore can be appreciated.
The Utica, with its deep workings, ex
pensive timbering and extensive prospect
ing and other unremnnerativf york, can
mine and mill $2 50 roofc at * profit; it
costs the Matson less than $1 per ton ; the
Gold Cliff can make a profit on 50-cent
rock. The highest of these figures is low
enough to insure the working of the big
veins of Angels when capitalists , awaken
to their opportunities.
N rth of the Gold Cliff are the Bennett
& Stickles, Buckminater, Lindsay and
Smith claims. Considerable prospecting
by tunneling and sinking has been done
on these claims, but it is all surface work.
Rich rock was found on all of them, some
of it paying to crush in a hand-mortar.
The Utica is said to be running a drift to
crosscut the vein at a low level, and if this
shows up favorably developments will be
at once commenced on the Idle properties.
The Dead Horse vein is only a short dis
tance east of the Utica, and it is supposed
by many that the veins will come together
at depth. The only work being done on
the vein, except surface scratching, is the
sinking of the Last Chance shaft by the
Utica company on bonded ground. As
they own the adjoining ground north and
have crosscut it from their lower levels, it
is assumed they are not workinar wholly in
the dark. The other claims going north
are the Bennett, Coddington, Sawyer,
Mercer, Welch and Blood.
The Sawyer and Coddington are on Dead
Horse hill, directly east of town, which is
as full of holes and tunnels as a prairie
dog colony. Many rich pockecs have been
taken out of it and the whole hill pros
pects well, and would probably pay two or
three dollars a ton to run through a mill.
A millfite joins these claims, and they
could be worked with as great facility and
cheapness as the Gold Cliff. If reports are
true concerning them (which can be easily
tested) it is a wonder that a ten or twenty
stamp mill was not erected long ago.
There has been a bond on these properties
for some time, but it is thought nothing
will come ot it, as the time has aboat ex
pired. The two properties are held, I be
lieve, at ?25,000 and $35,000 respectively.
The Mercer, Welch and Blood claims are
undeveloped, and nothing is doing on
them. An effort has recently been made
to bond the Blood property, of about thirty
acres, containing 3000 feet or more of the
ledge, but the price could not be agreed
upon.
The parallel veins are going to be great
factors in the wealth produced at Angels
in the near future.
My attention will next be devoted to
Carson Hill, where occurs one of the great
est "blowouts" of quartz in California.

BIDDING HIM FAREWELL
Ex-Captain Douglass Pre
sented With a Testimonial
by Company A.
\
Affecting Ceremony In the Assem
b<y-Room at the Central
Police Station.
Whenthe announcement was made that
the Polte Commissioners had requested
the resignation of Captain Douglass the
men of Company A selected a committee
to obtair, subscriptions for a suitable tes
timonial to him. The work was com
menced, but was stopped when it was
known tlit the captain was to make a
fight to btretained. After he was dropped
from the foil on July 31 the work was re
sumed, aui yesterday afternoon Company
A gatherel in the assembly-room at the
Central police station.
Captain Douglass had been notified to be
at the station at 5 o'clock, and he was led
into the asiembly-room by the committee.
Captain Wittraan, his successor, made a
neat speed , in which he told him that the
men had gathered to bid him farewell as
their captain, «nd they had shown by their
actions, which spoke louder than words,
how ranch they appreciated and respected
him as their superior officer.
Sergeant Birisall then stepped forward
and in a voice trembling with emotion re
ferred to his loig and pleasant relations
with the ex-cattain, and on behalf of the
men presented Vim with a diamond ring
and a pouch containing $500 in gold.
Captain Dqugjiss, in thanking the men
for their testimonial, referred to his long
service in the lepartrnent of thirty-six
years eleven months and fourteen days.
lie had in that qeriod experienced pleas
ant times and distgreeable times. He had.
he supposed, beet rough with them at
times, but he cculd only say it was for
their own good aid not for personal ag
grandizement, he had grown up with
the department, md had never been
ashamed to say thtt he belonged to it. He
could conscientiously say that it was sec
ond to none on tbie continent.
"I was dropped from the roll," con
tinued the ex-captain. "I could not con
scientiously resign, as it would have been
an acknowledgment that I was either
mentally or physica.ly disqualified, which
I consider I am'not,
"You can rest assumed that I will always
be with you in spirit, and whatever may
tend to your benefit I will feel it just as j
acutely as yourselves. My sympathies j
will always be wl;h the department,
wherever I may be."
The conclusion of the speech was greeted
with loud applause, and the company
joined in singing "Au!d Lang Syne,' fol
lowed by a verse of "Farewell My Own
True Love." By this time the veteran
was in trars, and as each man shook
hands with him in turn he broke down
completely.
The ex-captain will leave for San Diego
to-day on a visit to his daughter.

THE BAY DISTRICT RACES.
Wheel of Fortune Adds a
Seven-Furlong Handicap
to Her List.
BLOOMSBUBY IS PROMISING.
Tim Murphy Went Back In the Bet
tins and Then Made a Show
of His Field.
Jim Neil's Jongleuse filly was badly cut
down in the first race yesterday.
The win of Benham gave form-players a se
vere shock. Some of them will learn to allow
for "uncorkings."
By the terms of a contract signed yesterday
A. B. Spreckels secured the services of Joe Pig
gott, as lightweight jockey for his big string.
E. H. Rollins now controls the running quali
ties of imp. Joy, he having secured a lease of
the mare from her owner. W. C. de B. Lopez.
Considerable bumping and jostling occurred
in the Tim Murphy race, and the judges stated
that two or three of the boys would probably
have a fine imposed on them.
All Baba was worked out five furlongs in
1 :01 yesterday for the benefit of the young
millionaire, Walter Hobart, who is a prospec
tive buyer of the big son of Joe Daniels. The
price set upon, him is said to be $5000.
Red Dick ran yesterday like a hired man
that had sawed too many cords of wood before
breakfast. With all of his speed, Shaw got cut
off with him. If Shaw had a ticket for Chicago
tied around his neck and $3000 in his left
bootleg he would probably be unfortunate
enough to get mixed up in a railroad smanhup
and lose that left leg. He has a whole lot of
hard luck.
Three handicaps, a maiden two-year-old
race and a selling dash furnished ; some
very good sport at the tracK yesterday, al
though judging by the attendance' many
race-going patrons preferred backing the
bangtails in the poolrooms. . ■■
The seven-furlong handicap ' demon
strated the fact that Wheel of Fortune can
pack some weight and run a pretty fair
sort of a race as well as cracking records
with a feather in the saddle. With 105
pounds up she started a 13 to . 20 . favorite,
and after lying in third position until well
straightened out in the stretch, drew away
under the whip and won by a length and a
half from Arnette, the second choice, who
downed imp. Ivy for the place in a drive.
Considering the rather poor start the fa
vorite got, the time, 1:2"5£, was fast.
The opening race, a four and a half fur
lone dash, for two-year-olds, , ended in a
rather hollow victory for Benham, backed
down from 8 to Z\i to 1, who laid away sec
ond to Bell Oak to the stretch, when he came
on and won easily by a length. In a drive
Bell Oak took second- place from Don Pio
Pico. . ;
Starting favorite once more Heartsease
was again beaten in the five-furlong handi
cap for two-year-olds. She .was heavily
backed at 7 to 5, with Bloomsbury and
Virgie A, her most likely competitors, also
well supported. •: :
When Ferguson sent them away to a
pretty start Riot went to the front with a
tine burst of speed, the favorite at his head.
Into the stretch for home Heartsease
showed ahead of Riot, with Bloomsbury
dangerously ' close. A sixteenth from the
wire the favorite was beaten and Blooms
bury won rather easily by a neck. Gratify,
a 75 to 1 chance, finished a good third.
* The third race, a five-furlong selling
sprint, was on a ' gallop for the 4to 5
favorite Red Bird, who had the race in
hand from the fall of the flag. In the
drive for second place Durango was given
the verdict over Johnny Capron, a 100 to 1
shot. -'f\:-«
The fourth race drew six of the all-aged
division of sprinters together in a five-fur
long handicap. Going "back in the betting

tries, and Captain Thorpton will do the
handicapping to-night. Allan Jones will
not ride, as his father objects to his con
testing on Sunday, and Clarence Davis has
not entered, as he is out of condition.
There has been a change in the road
otticers ot the Imperial Cycling Club. Cap
j tain W. T. Johnson has resigned from his
office owing to press of business, and at a
members' meetine held last Monday even
ing Joseph Catanish was elected to fill the
vacancy. He has appointed as his lieu
tenants Frank McCarthy and Frank Kast.
Mr. Johnson was elected a director to fill
a vacancy caused by the withdrawal of C.
H. Dannalc, whose place as financial sec
! retary has not yet been filled. The Im
! perials will run a good road race next Sun
day afternoon at 2:30 over the San Carlos

for a valuable trophy to be competed for
by teams from the various clubs. The club
intended to hold a five-mile handicap road
race over tire San Leandro course next Sun
day, but this has been, postponed nntil
after the race meet in September, as train
ing for road and track racing are two dif
ferent things, and more importance is at
tached to the race meet.
Circus Parade To-Morrow.
An imposing parade of the constituents of
the big circus now visiting town will be made
through the principal streets to-morrow even
ing. The cir.cus will only remain here a
limited time, and some idea of its varied at
tractions will be afforded by the composition
of this monster public procession. Ostriches,
kangaroos, cute Shetland ponies, wild Bengal
tigers will be features of the parade. There
will be special attractions at the circus, the
novelties including tiger performances, an ar
tificial lake, high divers and exceptionally
clever aerialists.
Varley to Speak To-Night.
Revivalist Henry Varley will make a special
address at Metropolitan Temple to-night. His
subject will be: "Is Christ's Coming Near ?"

Denver, Colo.— Hudson Medical Institute—
Gentlemen: I find but few words in the Eng-
lish language to express my appreciation for
the benefit that has. been bestowed upon ma
by the great doctors of the Hudson Medical In-
stitute. Not many months ago L felt as If' my
days were numbered. For weeks I had a con-
tinuous headache and the slightest exertion
lef tits mark and the feeling that I had nearly
run my span of life had la.ken possession of me.
I. was about to accept the inevitable, but a
friend in need, who lives out that old maxim
and proved a friend indeed, recommended me
to your institution. I can truthfully say that
I am ten years younger in looks, in ambition,
in health. I feel perfectly safe in recommend-
ing the doctors of the Hudson Medical Institute,
WILLIAM D. W. BACHELDER,
