GOOD ROADS FOR WHEELS.
Meeting of the League of American
Whee!men,

Last evening at o'clock the officers OF
the California Division League Of American
Wheeimen met In Parlor A at The Palace
Hotel. There was fair attendance, and
cOnsiderabl interest was taken in the pro-
ceeIings.
After some discussion E. E. Hood was
appointed vice-consul, and he will be asked
TO accept the office as soon as possible.
Chief Consul Strong. who has taken a
deep interest in getting up roadbook,
stated his ideas on the subject. and said he
has learned that the book, with the proper
maps, taking in most of the counties in the
State. can be published for about $500.
The books will be of great benefit to all
wheelmen. After some discussion the tour
ing board was authorized to eXpaDd the
above sum for an edition of 1900 books.
These books will be distributed gratis
among the league members.
A communlcat on was read from the
secretary Of the Good Road Association of
Sacramento. asking the -league officers to
lend hand in making the Good Road con-
vantion, to be held in that city On the 7th
of September next, success. The call
sets forth the advantages of such a con-
vention. and as all wheelmen in the State
are interested in securing good roads, the
projectors of this move believe all the
clubs should assist, and ask that two dele
gates from each club and two from the
State board be selected.
On motion the call was sustained, and
the board voted $50 for the cause and Sc
lected Chief Consul Strong and r. NJ.
Welsh as delegates. The secretary was in
structed to notify the officers of local clubs
throughout the State ofSthe importance of
the meeting and impress upon them the me-
cessitv of sending delegates to the Sacra-
mento convention. The convention will
be composed of representatives from the
various Coards of Supervisors throughout
the State and members Uf the humane So
cieties.
The Oak Leaf Club of Stockton Is very
anxious to hold race meet on the 9th of
September, but as the San Jose wheelmen
are to have meet on the same day and as
it is against the rules of the league to have
two meets on the same day in cities
within 100 miles Of each other. quite a
lively discussion took place when Mr..
English moved that Stockton be allowed
to hold meet. A majority Of the Bard
thought that Stockton should not be shut
out. but as the board simply had a right to
make suggestion in the matter nothing
was done. The rules of the league will
probably have to be changed in the near
future so that local clubs may have meets
on the same day. when they are not too
close together
George p. Wetmore was rendered a vote
of thanks, and after some further discus
sion the board adjourned.

SETTING HIS WATCH.
The Old Man Had rlission on the
F air Grounds,
Chicago Tribune.


The Columbian guard thought he must
be crazy. and possibly the Columbian
guard was justified in so thinking. He had
long chin whiskers and a smOoih-shaven
upper liz. His eyes were apparently fixed
on something above one of the buildings.
and in his hand he held an enormous silver
watch.
What are you trying to dO?" asked the
guard.
'You tend to your business an I'll tend
to mine" was the prompt response.
You'll lose that eight-day clock" sug-
gested the grard. facetiously.
well. that's nOthin' to you," retorted
the old man, finally bringing his eyes down
TO earth and looking at the guard. "Pm
more'n 81 an | know what Pm doin'."
"1 nu DENT act like IT," said the guard

There is only one st. Paul's and upon
