land, on which HOlbein AW --
made the previous
worlds record of Sol y., 1v.uor
miles and 1446 yards.
When the Alameda track becomes little
more firmly set II will probably be the
fastest on earth. Waller made only few
short stops for rest and refreshment,
and finished in good condition. The
time was taken by Eugene Van Court, q. f..
Niece aud II. Snow. DE-. GOurley was
Judge, and The scorers were Charles Balen-
tine, Charles Addngton aud A. A. Bough-
ton. The pace was made al intervals by
Grant Bell G. A Faulkner. w. Z. Angel,
O. f. NeeCe. Stoddard of the Bay Cltys. and
Walter Foster, who returned from Monte
rey just In time to accompany Waller on his
last mile.
Walters record, which is now that of the
world, is 363 miles and 1890 yards, accom-
plished In a little less than a hours, the
pistOl-shOt signaling him to step having
been fred few seconds too soon. The
gritty rider also succeeded in lowering
all Pacific Coast records over five
miles. The time for the first 10
miles was 80 minutes 46A seconds; in one
hour lie rode 70 miles and 500 yards; %
miles were made in l hour Is minutes so sec
Onds and 90 miles in hours Il minutes 80
seconds. The champion Of both hemispheTes
rode a 50lnch pneumatic geared to 81.
Walters oft-repeRted story OF how he rode
every inch of the way from this city to the
top of Mount Hamilton and return will
doubtless find believers now. He is tall.
gaunt, awkward German, with beetling eye
brows, awkward of gait and speech, yet
withal, possessed of muscles Of iron aud an
indomitable determination to accomplish
whatever he undertakes. He has been a
wheelman only about Is months.

Sacramento. has been given to Stockton,
owing 10 the impossibility of securing a
suitable track at the former place. The
races will be held on the Fourth Of July,
and as the Native Sons will visit the
Slough City in force on that day the success
of the meet is already assured. The Bay
City wheelmen Of this city are taking great
interest in the matter, and with their active
cooperation the Stockton boys should be
able to present a fine programme, While
the track is a good one for horses, ii was
not built for bicycle races. and it will be
surprising if any records are lowered.
Realizing the advantages of a perfect
track in proximity to the metropolis, and
being assured of large list Of entries, rep
Tesenting many organizations Of wheelmen,
the Alameda Bicycle anG Athletic Club has
decided not to 20 to Stockton, but to hold a
meet Of its own on July f. Many OF the
crack riders will be represented, including
George Niece. Harry Maxwell. Jesse Ives
and probably Edwards and Delmas Of San
Jose. The Stale Is big enough for two rae
ing meets on one day, and the crowd at
Stockton will leave enough people in this
vi Unity to ill the spacious park at Alameda.
The only thing TO be regretted is the discord
which has been engendered between some
of he clubs.
The San Francisco Bicycle Club held a
very successful picnic run TO Mill Valley
yesterday. About 40 wheels went over,
besides a number who went on the train. A
fine lunch WAS spread, and every one seemed
happy. Did Captain PiXley enjoy his
lunch? Better not ask him unless You are
armed. He went down to a farmhouse to
get some milk, but when he got back there
was not crumb left and he was confined
TO milk diet Some good scOrching was
done OH the return trip. ScOvern and
Twitchell made the best time. These boys
promise soon to be shining lights in the rae
ing line.

and made detour at Truekee to Lake

w. F. Foster aud T. C. Dodge have re-
turned from their run to Monterey. They
had good time, and their report on the
roads is of value as a guide to other tourists.
From Alameda to San Jose, Gilroy and
jacksonville the roads are good, but 1t was
hard work going on to Monterey. The
boys went over the 17-mile drive. and had
some good fishing during their three-days'
stay in Monterey. Returning by different
