A DEFEATED KING.
Rey El Santa Anita Runs
a Poor Race
AND WINDS UP A BAD THIRD.
Gilead and Polaski Finish in
Front of Kirn.
FAME STAKES GO TO THORNKILL.
Yo El Rey Would Not Run—Flood
more, Heavily Backed, Takes
the Jumping Race.
The king has fallen, In the third race
yesterday Ley El Santa Anita, who holds
the proud title of winner of the American
derby of 1894. was in_!oriously defeated.
True, this was his first race since his re
turn from the East, but he was reported
to have worked a great mile one morning
this week— better than I:4o— and this is
the reason speculators crowded each other
in an effort to get their money on him at
short odds, thinking him to far outclass
his field, although carrying top weight—
122 pounds. The wiuuer, Gilead, is a very
good three-year-old, and is probably in
better form now than at any time in his
racing career; but tue horse thai ran sec
ond, Polaski, while a very fair performer
with light weight up, is very far from
being a .take horse.
The run was made in excellent time,
the mile being completed in X 'Aoy_, and the
Winner could probably have gone half a
second faster, but the favorite got off in
fourth position, running there uearly the
whole distance, seemingly being unable to
improve it at any pait ol the journey, and
was clearly outrun from the jump. But
it is probanl-*, after all, that he has not re
vered from his journey in tho cars, and
that it was not one of those runs that
proved such au enigma to Eastern turfmen.
Tin* other races were well contested,
favorites and second choices getting the
pur-es, and the large crowd left the track
well satisfied with the day's -port.
Chevalier carried off the riding honors,
winning on three mounts.
The day. sport opened with a short
six-furlong race for maidens. Florence
Dickey, who lias run second innumerable
times was favorite at 7 to 5, but st c again
ran in the same notch, second. Dolly L
filly, Corncob, Chiquito, Bio Bravo,
Ontario, Wag and Barcalalne were the
other starters. Dolly L filly was fancied
by many, a tip going out that the stable
was playing her. Cbiqulto'a owner lined
his colt's chances, which made betting on
the race lively. With very little delay the
flag dropped to a good start, Corncob
showing iv the front rank, and he led
down the backstretcb by a length. Pass
ing the half h«- was a head in front ot Bo
Bravo, the Dolly L filly third. As they
entered the stretch the Baldwin filly had
taken command and was leading half a
length, straightened out for home. Florence
Dickey and Wag came out of the buuch
and tackled the leader, but she managed
to last and won i:i a drive by half a length,
F-nrence Dickey secoud, a length In front i
of Wag. Time, 1:14.
The second run on the card was the i
Fame stakes for three-year-olds, one mile
and three-quarters, fur which only three
starters sported silk. Thcrnbill, Carmel j
and Yo El Key.
It proved to be another walkover for I
the fast Cheviot, M Heron Thorn hill taking
it easy on his mount until a sixteenth Irom '
home, when he let out a wrap and won as j
he pleased. The time was 3:06%. The
record for the distance is 3:00%, made by |
Hotspur. Carmel crossed hi- legs about
120 yards from the wire and came very |
near falling. The drummed to death and i
track wear-- Yo El Key sulked and would •
not in a yaid.
A five-eighths scramble was next on the j
card and brought out a field ot twelve
ling platers, '■
Noriee was favorite at 7 to 5, Clacqiier
second choice with threes against him.
Grade G next in demand at 4 tol. Any
price could be had against the balance, in
cluding Mutineer. Joe Cotton, Hal Fisher,
Promise. Bed Dick, lieu Li_ht, Lodi, Sir
Reginald and Reno.
When the flag fell, Bed Light and Xorlee,
quickest, to break, raced off in front and
led the field into the sire eh, where the
"dog" in them tripped out, and they quit
and fell back in the bunch. Below ihe
drawgu a Clacqiier came out of the bunch
with . i great burst of sneed, followed by
Joe Cotton and Grade G, the former win
ning from Cotton by a length and a half,
Gracie G third. It was a good run, 1:01%.
Tbe interest of the day was centered in
the fourth race, a mile handicap, Bey El
Santa Anita, the Amerir.au derby winner.
making bis first appearance in California
since Lis Eastern conquests. The other
.-t'.rters were Pescador, Polaski, Duke
evens and Gilead. Baldwin's crack was
p. big favorite, opening up to 3 too, but
went to tbe post 2 to 5, with a barrel of
money played in the bonks on bischances;
favorite jers considering it "finding
money." Pescador was at 20 to 1, Duke
Stevens 4 to 1, Polaski 4 to 1 and Gilead 10
; o I'atonetime thirty. The horses were sent
away at the first bre..k. Passing the quar
ter Pescador was leaning by three lengths.
Oilead second a length in front of Polaaki,
the favorite fourth. At the half Pescador
and Gilead were running head and be-d;
entering the stretch Pescador was leading ;
Gilead a head, Polaski third. At the six- j
teenth pole lead had taken the lead and !
Morris began to ride the favorite, bat he i
could not make up any ground and the ;
i -sue was seen to be between Gilead and
Polaski, but the former steadily increased
his lead and won handily at the finish by
four lengths, the favorite a bad start. The
race was run wit' a half-second of the
coast record— l :_O%.
Duke Stevens sulked badly and was
never dangerous.
Tne mile nd a quarter hurdle-race
brought out a grand lot of jumpers — Vul
can. Japnnica, Bassanio, El Dorado, Guad
aluupe and P*loodmore — and an exciting
rare was looked for, but in this the spec
tators were disappointed, for while it was
a very pretty race to gaze upon it proved a
very easy win for the favor ■ •■ (Floodmore),
backed down from 7t05t0 7to 10. There
were good prices aealnst the others, the
book laying 4 to 1 Vulcan, 10 to 1 Japon
ica, 8 to 1 Bassanio, 10 to 1 El Dorado and
5 to 1 Guadaloupe.
As the flag fell Vulcan took the lead,
followed by Jaoonica and Floodmore, and
after leading over two jumps he was joined
by Floodmore and the two raced together,
but after going over the fourth jump
Floodmore commenced drawing away,
and won easily at the finish by three
lengths. Vulcan tired badly and was
passed by Japonica, who ran a muchly im
proved race, finishing second, Bas. an to
getting third place In a drive, f ur len_t»s
back of her. The time was good, 1:17%.
For the last run a six-furlong selling
purse, tin "platers" found the flag. Men
docino, Reno, May McCarthy and Mowiza
were sciatched, leaving May lay, O'Bee,
Sympathetic Last, Lull?, Banjo, Sir
Richard, Ilueneme, Lonnie B. Seaside and
Churea for bettors to pick from.
Seamde, Sir Richard and Lulu were the
heaviest played, but ton others were not
friendless, for nearly every horse is gener
ally figured as having a chance in the last
race, wbich is notorious for "upsets."
The fog bad. now rolled in so heavily
that nothing could be seen of the start or
the positions of the horses until a six
teenth from the wire, and then Lulu was
teen to be leading by half a length, but was
soon after passed by Sir Richard aud Sea
side, tbe iatter filly winning quite handily
nt the finish, with Sir R chard second and
Banjo, who came with a great rush, third.
Lulu finished fourth. The time was bung

out as 1:14, but was probably slower, as a
bugle denoted the falling of the flag.

BEAUTY OF FORM.
E. S. Kelley on the Scheel
Programme.
Wagner's Satire in His One and
Only Comic Opera Dis
cussed.
An audience of society amateurs listened
with great interest to a lecture given yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs. XV. S. Wood,
1920 Clay street, by Edgar S. Kelley on 'be
music to be performed at "el's symphony
concert to-night.
In all his recent lectures Mr. Kelley has been
tiyiiig to instil lulo bis hearers an admiration
for use beauty of musical form. Most people
can grasp the beauties of a tune, bul it takes a
higher musical educatiou to admire the form
of a classical work, and for tbat reason the
lecturer urged his bearers not to conclude that
the symphony by August Klugbardt. which
win be played to-night, was uninteresting be
cause the tlitmes sounded .Imple and not par
ticularly attractive when he played them on
tiie pianoforte, "fbey have no gren emo
tional natute, it is true," he said, "but you will
piobabiy derive pleasure from following tbe
form."
In order to make the word "form" clearer
the lecturer exhibited a large chart witb the
various themes in the sonata form of composi
tion marked, a, b, etc. These themes, after
being designated, were traced through tbeir
possible development*.
The Suauisb and Hungarian numbers from
the -Suite of All Naiions" by MoszkowsKl
were described as being without form, though
by no means void. Indeed, .Mr. Kelley said that
bis hearers need not worry about trying to re
duce them to a system. They must be regarded
as an example of How pretty music can be
without set form. After Mr. aod Mrs. Kelley
had played them as a duet the hearers heartily
indorsed these sentiments.
The real subject of the lecture, or, In the
words ot the speaker's chart, the "main theme,"
was ltlcbard Wagner Id relation to bis famous
comic opera, "Tbe Melstersiuger." It seemed
strange that a composer capable of such sub
lime passages as are found iv "Lohengrin" aud
"Tannhauser" should write a comic opera in
the ordinary English-speaking acceptation of
the term, but Mr. Keliey hastened to add ihat
"The Meislersiugei" was not the kind of comic
opera tliat contained commonplace platitudes.
Wagner's comic opera was full of romance aud
poetry, and was the uearest approach to
Shakespearean comedy that Germany lias ever
produce-. In it the romantic and tbe poetic
aie contrasted with the comic, the vein of
comedy being sometimes pretty broad.
A sketch was given of Walter, the Knight,
meeting Eva, Hie goldsmith's daughter, lv the
old church at Nureuberg, and falling In love
wiih her. The wordy, precise old Burgomas
ter, "master-singers," with their cut and dried
ideas on music, and tin Idea that no one
could compose except by rote, were also given
in word-ptcinres and iii the musical themes,
wherein Wagner described mem, and ihe
lecturer showed how these Ideas were upset
wheu iv the musical compel itlou lor Eva's
band, which the goldsmith had iuaugurted,
Walter . emotional "prize song" tiiuniphed
oyer tbe eel musical phrases of bis pedantic
rivals.
NY aguer In tills opera hit hard at his musical
detractors. lie lidlcuted their exaggerated
science and made Walter the mouthpiece of
his own more emotional uiitramtneled Idea-*.
The leading themes in the overture were
pointed out and played anu the lecturer, alter
showing their skillful and original develop
ment, added: "I have never tv t any one who
after hearing that overture, denied that Ware
uer could write counterpoint and fu"ue aud
everything else."
Nominated for Clerk.
The Justices of the Peace met yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of nominating a
clerk of the court, subject to the con
firmation of tbo Board of Supervisors. Mr.
Williams is the incumbent, aud as such
lias made an excellent record in the office.
Although Mr. Williams is a Republican!
and the present Board of Supervisors is
Democratic, it is almost an assured fact
the nomination made by the Justices will
be confirmed without protest.
Bridge, Brideer and Bridgster were toll
takers at the King's bridges.

Camp and the Stanford
College Team.
What California Pugilists Are Doing
in the East— The Texas Re
gatta.
'On Saturday afternoon the Reliance
football team will try conclusions at
Haight street with the Berkeley eleven.
This match Is creating a great deal of in
terest in football circles, owing to the
teams being considered on an equality, so
f:.r as their playing is concerned. It is
hoped that to-morrow's game will result in
anything else but a tie.
Walter Camp, the famous coach, who is
now instructing the Stanford team, was
not disgusted, as many pei p'e had sur
mised, over the beating the college boys
received from the Reliance athlete?. When
asked what he thought of the gamo and
the playing of the students be said that
had it not been for the fact that the boys
lost courage in tbe last half the result
would not have been so damaging to Stan
ford. He thought that the ends were too
slow in getting down the field under
kicks; that the tackling was uot low
enough and tne defensive play, though
stronger than it was in the first game, is
yet very weak. Mr. Camp sees lots of
room lor improvement in the tram and
also plenty of hard work for the beys.
iiarry Dalley, who is well known to the
sporting iraternitv of this' city, fought a
draw with EJ Vaughn, the champion
bantam-weight of New Jersey, at Trenton
recently. The pugilists boxed ten rounds
and asked for five rounds more to decide
the question of supremacy, but the police
would not allow it. Vaughn did well for
four round?, then Dalley warmed up to his
work and iv the ninth round he knocked
Vaughn down, and the latter was almost
out in the tenth.
"Bob" Fiiz-immons has engaged "Con"
Riordan as his sparring partner. Kiordan
served in a similar capacity with Peter
Jackson when the latter was touring
through the country a year ago.
Billy Murphy, the eccentric Australian,
find Jerry Harriett will box ten round* at
the Atlantic Athletic Club on th-» 19 h
Inst Jack McAuliffe and Owen Ziegier
will meet in a ten-round go on the same
evening.
"Dummy" Winters of Australia, who is
now considered to be quite a likely candi
date for the middle-weight honors of that
country since Crpedon's downfall. Is at
present in England winning new laurels.
His latest essay took place at Loudon.
Winters' opponent was Jack Stone. The
pugilists were to have fought six rouuds,
but in the third Winters knocked his man
out with a right on the jaw ; but "Dummy,"
who is totally deaf, came near losing the
battle through bis unfortunate affliction.
In the second round, wheu time was
called, Winters kept on fighting, and wouid
probably have been fighting yet had not
his seconds jumped in the ring and pulled
him to his corner. A claim of foui was
not allowed.
The great footrace which the British
papers had described as "the race of the
century," has been win and lost. The
contestants were F. E. Bacon, the cham
pion of England, and J. .J. Mullen, the
champion of Ireland. The pair met at
Balls Brid. track, Dublin, on the after
noon of October _■>. for the five-mile inter
national honors. The event aroused wide
spread interest, as Baker had defeated
Mullen In a four-mile run over the same
track in the early part of September,
While Mullen had turned the tables in a
', five-mile run at Belfast a week later. A
Dublin paper says of the last race:
"An enormous crowd was In attendance
when the pistol cracked. Mullen went to
the front at once aud made nearly all the
running. Lie flattered his backers up to
the last lap, but Bacon was always within
striking distance an I wheu Uie bell rang he
moved up on the Irishman. When the
pinch came the English champion proved
much the faster and he moved clear away.
Mullen hung on for a time, but eased up
when be saw pursuit was hopeless, and
Bacon romped in an easy winner in 25
minutes 33 '_•."> seconds. Followers of tiie
Irishman were hit heavily, as he had pre
viously covered the distance ten secouds
faster."
Wrestling is becoming popular in the
, East again, and tbe sporting fraternity will
1 support the game if the matches are con
' ducted honestly. Dan McLeod will soon
J have a trial with Fred Boeber ot New
York.
James Stausbury, the champion oars
man of the world, lias written to a friend
in this city that he will positively row in
ttip luterna'ional regatta which is to be
held In Texas next year.
FRIEDRICH SCHILLER.
The Three Spurs That Helped the
Poet to Fame.
Frledricb Schiller formed the subject of the
lectuie in the University of California exten
sion course on German literature at the Art
Institute yesterday afternoon. As usual, th
room was not large enough for the crowd of
ladles present.
Tbe storm and stress period or German litera
ture was graphically described, as well as the
early life of Schiller. The poet's love affairs
and his tiist literary efforts were dwelt upon at
some length, and au account was given of bis
bis 01 ical and philosophical works, "His his
torical studies." said ibe lecturer, "led him to
the composition of •Walleusteiu.' In 1800
Schiller wrote 'Marie Stuart.' in the third act
of winch we have his lyric powers at their best.
Although Schiller was not a iyi poet in the
sense thai Goethe was, bin talent was essen
tially dramatic."
The "Maid of Orleans" was described as a
great and romantic drama, and "William Tell"
as one of the most beautiful plays In ibe Ger
man language. _\o work could bring more
vividly befoic one what Switzerland realiv is.
Schiller was never a strong man, and for' the
last ten or twelve years of bis lite be never saw
a well day. He died suddenly, leaving an un
finished drama.
Tbe lecturer conclnded bis summary of
Schiller's life and work, by stating that be was
not one of the world's four greatest poets, but
that fate bad given him three aids to become
rery great : the friendship of Goethe, the firm,
changeless love of a good woman, and best of
all, a never-falling nobility of soul.

LESS GRAIN RATE.
A Material Reduction to
Tidewater.
The Southern Pacific Will Adopt a
New Schedule January 1 — A
Theological Land Project.
The Southern Pacific officials yesterday
made an announcement wbicb will be a
welcome piece of news to the farmers of
the Stale. It is to the effect that on Janu
ary 1 a new schedule of freight rates will
be put in force by which a very material
reduction in the cost of hauling grain
from the interior to .tidewater will be
made.
11. E. Huntington, in speaking of the
matter yesterday, said that the new rates
would be applicable to ail points of the
State, but that tbey were designed to bear
more particularly upon points at some
distance from tidewater. He assigned as
a reason for the reduction tbat fanners
were unable to raise grain at the present
rales and there was a consequent falling
off in the production probable, but that it
was hoped the new schedule would stimu
late and encourage tbe farmers in this
respect.
Third Vice-President Stubbs said tbat it
was the intention to make the rates appli
cable beginning at a point or points in all
directions from San Francisco of, s-ty, 120
miles— Merced, in the San Joaquin Valley,
for instance. "We nave resolved to grade
down our grain rates," said he. "in order
to stimulate an increased production in
the districts more remote from the general
market. This reduction will he general on
all lines and works a maximum of 85 cents
a ton say in Tulare.
"These rate, aie now being prepared
and will be published before January 1, so
that they may apply on next season's crop.
Applying the reduction on tbe tonnage to
tidewater in 1893-94. If amounts to a reduc
tion of practically |_33i,000t*"
Assistant General Freight Agent Sproul
gave out a few figures which may be used
as an illustration. They comprise the
present rate per ton and the rate which
will go into effect January 1:

The best rates, or rather tho greatest re
ductions made, it will be seen are at re
mote points.
"The man within the 120-mile limit will
be very likely to object." said Mr. Sproul,
"but he is in most instances cared for be
cause of his better facilities for shipping,
in many cases the advantage or shipment
by either rail or water being obtainable.
This is in reality an effort to give the
farmers in the remote districts a fair show
to reach market and obtain a proportion
ately good price rate for their grain."
A number of ministers in the southern
uart of the State have practically per
fected an organization which has for its
object the purchase of the Hope ranch,
which lies about a mile and a half west of
Santa Barbara and which is one of the
most beautiful spots along the coast. It
comprises 2000 acres of gentiv sloping
land, including 120 acrescovered by water,
forming a lake, and all of which lies im
mediately upon the channel with a mile
and a half frontage.
The propositi' n which the ministers
have in view is to cut the property up into
town lots and with the proceeds derived
from the sale thereof to establish either a
home for aged and superannuated minis
ters or a theological school. Ii matters
should turn out as tbey anticipate both
institutions mentioned might be built.
It is proposed to model the town on the
same lines as Pacific Grove and it is said
that the latter does not compare in any
particular with this locality in point of
natural beauty or healthful climate.
