THE WHEEL.

BicycIists on the Anxious Seat for the
Stocktonian Races.
Considerable interest is manifested by the
cyclists in the coming events at Stockton on
July 4th, at which time the California Di-
vision of the League Of Wheelmen will hold
its annual meeting.
The Bay City Wheelmen will be strongly
represented, and as there are number Of
"scorchers" in the ranks the representatives
Of other clubs will need be in the pink of
condition to keep company with the boys"
as the pace will undoubtedly be as hot as
the weather which Stockton proudly boasts
of at this season Of tie year.
The Oakland Bicycle Club will be on the
track in full force. The fact that it will be
represented by speedy Frank Waller, the
winner Of the medal for the fastest safety
time at the recent San LeandrO road race,
at which time he broke the Pacific Coast
record for the distance, IS alone sufficient to
attract a strong representation Of Oakland
wheelmeu.
A new cycling club has been organized in
Oakland, known as the Alameda County
Wneelmen. 1t has already fifty members
enrolled, among whom are some Of the fast

Fashion Letter TO THE SUNDAY CALL.

New YORK, June &c. 1S91-The smell of
clover is warm in the air and there is
sound of the droning of bees. The wild
roses show pink under the cliffs of the
Palisades. the waves roll in white and
green on the beach, and if one must talk Of
things to wear it should at least be of para
soils. There is a world of splendor dis
played in the huge blossoms whenever and
wherever women come out into the SUM-
shine. They bloom bigger and brighter
than ever parasOls did before them, and
they flaunt themselves with the same
masses of lace, the same deep ruffles and
the same striking picturesqueness of color
one finds in the summer hats and gOwDs.
At a coaching breakfast just out of town
on Wednesday the paraSols we're study.
There was one in a pale brownish cream
chiffon that was composed of one deep full
flounce, with mass Of crinkled shirring at
the top an0 a huge bow of gauze ribbon Of
the same shade hecked with scarlet and
having long sash-like ends that flutteTed

been already promised and an effort viii be
made to secure the balance. The money
question is at present the only difficulty, for
enough good men have already consented Go
90 To assure that the team would be fairly
representative Of the cricket talent of the
State.
A point on which an umpire is not often
called upon to give decision turned up in
Sundays game at Alameda. Warren, who
started the batting for the Burnabys in the
second inning, had Alberga to run for him.
and shortly after commencing his innings
got the ball well away and made the run as
we'll as Alberga, both safely reaching the
opposite wicket. The ball was fieIded by
Banner, who at once put down the wicket
from which Warren had started and ap-
pealed to the umpire, Reynolds, for de-
ciSiOn Of run-out against Warren. Reynolds
gave the batsman in. There is no in ention
or questioning the fairness of Reynolds
decisiOn, but it is certain that he was
wrong. The law governing substitutes run
ming for batSman states most clearly that
a batsman who has another man TO run for
him is out if he leaves the ground and the
wicket is put down, even If he is safe at the
other end. a little reflection shows the
justice of the rule 1t is a concession, any
how, for bstsman to be allowed substi-
tute; and it is only fair that the heders
should be protected against the confusion
arising from two men running simultane-
OuSly from the same wicket.

With a frOtk Of pale gray and lavender
went parasol in the same cOloTings. The
full, soft fl0unce of silvery chiffon was ex-
quistely painted with great clusters of
wstara blossoms. 4 dress Of white cloth
with embroidery IN green and white shell
tered itself under paras0l OF white chiffon
thlckly strewn with daisies set in green
leaves. A white cashmere fr0ck with deep,
pointed waist fringe of white silk threads
went in ike manner with a Sunshade OF al
ternate bows of white lace and fringe.
Upon the hats great clumpS OF pink and
white laurel were set or loosely tied punches
Of the early summer aSters. Struggling
sprays of blue succory trimmed rOugh-lOOk-
Jag straw shapes, while others were COW
cred with yellow st. JOEnswort or wild car
rot blossoms. Two or three hats Of white
crinolne were trimmed altogether with
green leaves; one bore an oak wreath,
another some fr0ndS Of the delicate maiden
hair fern. A slim blonde stood up very
straight and happy under dainty black
crinOlnne bonnet with a wreath plated OF
glossy green laurel leaves; white satin
strings tied il beneath her chin and she had
two causes for self-COngratulatIOn. The
satin was cut on the cross and measured
lust an inch and a half in width according
to the latest fashion, and IL was only twelve
hours or Whereabouts since the announce
ment of her engagement 10 one OF the
catches Of the season.
One is inclined to smile with more or less
content at the news Of the Incoming of the
Vatican and Boucher fashions in June,
when the old-fashiOned pinks are in bios
SON. One stem lies across my paper while
/ write, and on 1t are two pointed gray-green
buds and three of the flowers that used to
border mothers garden under the peach
trees. My pinks split down at the side in
the good old way in which they always
split. and the petals have still their irregular
crimson circle Just what they have to do

Boucher, but while | lift them and smell
them il seems very natural to think of
women panniered in 1owery fabrics with

lift them and shake together their long

tippety-tp of buckled shoes and the min
nets stately measure. The shop windows
are bright with rose garlanded fabrics and
wherever one walks the women who walk
with one are sprinkled with flowers and
ruched with lace from head to heel.
Clearly we are jOurnesing toward the en-
pire of the sacque train, and pity It's we
cannot to-day reach our destination, for il
the rose petals fall and the sweet peas fade
and my pinks 90 out Of blossom, how can

A black lace costume perhaps indicated

one previously mentioned, tied with white
crOSs-cut satin strings. The transparent
parasol, which offered little shelter to the
tall, creamy-skinned woman beneath it, re-
peated for the third time the beautiful de-
sign of the lace, with its deep fiOunce and
its shi:red gauze top made over thin bunt-
ing cloth.
There was a hat of white fancy crinollne
trimmed with Il ruche of fine white lace,
caught down with gold pins. On the brim
in front lay yellow roses. There were sew
eral smart hats of black straw with fancy
brims. and smartly arranged with white
chiffon and white wings. There is no need
to say there was bonnet after bonnet in the
fashionable mixture of black aud gold.

after having been in the water.
Do not remain too long in the water
leave the water Immediately if there is the
slightest feeling of chillness.
The vigorous and strong may battle early

The Victorian Trip Still in DOubt-Local

The Golden Gate game to-day is between
the Pacific and California clubs and the
Bunabys will play the 0aklands at Ala
media. On Friday the Pacfcs will start for
three days cricket trip in Lake County,

Both Of Sundays games were above the
ordinary in interest 1t was the init al APP
pearance Of the Pacific Club in a schedule

against which It had fair chance Of win

have won in any case. but the Pacihcs are

tanned by bringing only eight men on the
field. The Pacific Club will meet the Cali
f0rDia eleven to-day, and, it is understood,
will be strongly represented.
much-needed Improvement has been
introduced at the Golden Gate grounds by
the putting up of practice net. II is not
of the regulation type, but 1t is the best that
could be procured in this city and serves its
purpose OF permitting practice to 90 on,
while match is in progress, without inter-
fering with the play. The clubs using the
Alameda grounds should provide similar ad-
YaRtages.

Tie Victorian trip Of the cricketers has
not been advanced very much during the
fortnight, with the exception that the local
men have received a little more definite in
telligence OF the proposals OF the British
COlumbians. William Robertson received
an answer to his letter asking for further
particulars, The Victorian men offer to

also offered to MAKE all the necessary hotel

could be obtained from this end. This Will,

south of Spanishtown, San Mateo County.
Doves are quite plentiful in the Santa

near Mayfield states that the little "coOers'
are numerous in that vicinity.
Certain spOrtsmen who do not fancy trap
shooting contests have been anxiOusly look

will be lawful to kill doves. The Superyis-
ors of some counties have changed the
State laws, so far as game and fish are con-
cerned, to suit themselves. but eminent
lawyers who have been interviewed on this
subject say that these side" laws are un-
