The BICYCLE RACE.
Capital City WheeImen Have. a Sue
CeSSfu Meet.
Vanderbilt's Time VIII Make the State
Wheelmen Look a Little to
Their Laurels.

The Capital City Wheelmen's Club yes
terday had road race from the old toll
house on the Riverside road down to Oak
Hall, q distance of three miles and one
sixteenth.
There were eight entries, and for sew
eral of the contestants it was their first
race.
The morning was beautiful one and
the road in the best of condition, winning
many encomiums from the wheelmen.
A slight head wind which prevailed,
however, made the time several seconds
slower than it would otherwise have been.
G. NJ. Hamlin was the scratch man, G.
B. Vanderbilt and w. B. Morrill, hav-
ing twenty seconds start, w. A. Hobert,
twenty-five; H. A. Martin. thirty; August
Heilbron, Jr., forty-fve; and w. Hill
and NJ. n. Kimball sixty seconds each.
A large number of vehicles went down
to see the race, and the club had many
members out besides the contestants. G.
NJ. Ripley acted as starter, and l.. S. Up
son, H. \. Crocker and NJ. S. Layenson
as timers.
Vanderbilt made a poor start, losing
about two seconds. He passed Hill and
caught the limit man about mile from
lnO liu1SAs anu pdSSbu ulIl, winning the
race hands down, and finishing strong in
S:04. 1t was his maiden race, and gives
promise that at the fall meet he will be
thar or tharabouts."
Hill is a new man and it was also his
first race. lie was also handicapped by
riding heavy wheel. He rode remark
ably well, however, and having to set his
own pace, there being no one ahead of
him by whom he could gauge his time, it
was considered that his performance was
excellent, and he had plenty more go in
him at the finish. The apparent differ
ence in time is due to the minute-start he
had, although he came in second in 9:O6
Hamliu rode from the scratch and fin
ished third, the handicap allowed Van
derbilt and Hill proving too much for
HIM TO overcome; still he rode a splendid
race, coming in in S:l4.
Heilbron finished well, being right be-
hind Hamlin and making neat fourth.
Martin was overstrained and had re-
duced his weight so much that he was un-
able to hold down his wheel when going
at such high speed.
). NourSe was there with his camera
and took some views of the boys after the
race, but an inconsiderate individual
stepped in front of the camera Just as
Vanderbilt crossed the line, and spoiled
the snap shot he had intended to make
The CLUB boys are hard at work train
ing fer the races at the annual meet and
races to be held at Agricultural Park on
October I'd, and they expect to give such
an exhibition as has never been given in
the State before. They have made ar
rangements to have all the fast wheelmen
from the southern part of the State and
San Francisco at the meeting and feel
confident of holding their own with
them. There is some talk also of a con-
test at the Park some day during the State
Fair.

NEVADA'S LADY LAWYER.
She Was Born in Sacramento
Daughter of Judge Tflden.

She Was Born in Sacramento-A
Daughter of Judge Ttlden.
The Carson Appeal of the 23d SAYS:
Laura NJ. Tilden, daughter of Judge NJ.
c. Tilden, of Virginia City, passed a
most creditable examination in the Su-
preme Court yesterday morning, and an
order was made admitting her as an at
torney and counsellor in all the courts of
this State. The Judges, in deciding, re-
marked that she passed the most salts
factory examination of any person that
has ever appeared before them.
Miss 1ilden is the first lady to be ad-
mitted in this State, and probably the
youngest female lawyer in the world, be-
ing only - years old. The ladies of Ne
vada owe her a debt of gratitude, for she
obtained the passage Of statute by our
Legislature last winter giving females all
the rights and privileges of males, so far
as being lawyers are concerned, which
they did not have before. Miss Tilden
lived in Carson when small child, and
then had quite a local reputation as an
effective and fervent orator. We bespeal1
Tor her a bright and glowing future and
wish her much success"
Miss Tilden was born in Sacramento,
where her father and mother then resided.
She attended the public schools here and
afterward took a course in the State
Normal School at San Jose, graduating
in the class of 80. Her father is lawyer,
ana her grandfather was Judge J. H.
Ralston, who came to California in IS49
He was a member of the first Constitu-
tional Convention of this State, and was
one of the ablest lawyers in California.
He practiced law in Sacramento for many
years, and is well and favorably remem-
bered by all our old residents.
The young lady comes of the kind of
stock that ought to make good lawyers,
and Sacramentans will wish her un-
bounded success

AN UPTOWN FIRE.
Plenty of Water Soon Quenched It,
With Small Loss

With Small Loss.
The alarm of fire yesterday morning
about O'Clock was caused by a blaze in
the alley between Nineteenth and Twen-
tieth, NJ and n streets. 1t originated in
the barn of r. w. Parker, which was to-
tally destroyed, with its contents. Com
municating with the barn of George
Brewer, it destroyed the upper part of it,
and also some outbuildings belonging to
Charles Wood, besides blistering his
house considerably.
1t is not known how the fire originated,
but it is thought to have been the work Of
an incendiary, as the door of Parkers
barn was found to be open and his horse
had got out. His loss is about $500, with
no insurance. The loss OF Mr.. Brewer is
about 500, which is covered by insur-
ance. Mr.. Woods loss is light, and was
also insured.
The fire occurring at time in the
morning when very few people are using
water for irrigating, two good streams
were turned on as soon as the engines ar
rived, and the blaze was easily got under
control,

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land In the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, l2o, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual tnstallments. Thus no part of the prin.
cipsl is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in.
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over q period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this Is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowins, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accom- plishment.
The primary object Of the purchase OF this
body OF land wss the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

purpose of selecting a suitable site for
the proposed building, and that the COM
mittee should report at an adjourned
meeting of the convention, to be held at

validate the whole proceedings might
arise should an adjournment be taken be-
fore a ballot was had.
The Chairman, being sustained in his
decision, called for nominations for
building sites.

sides a tive-acre lot, what no other dis
trict was able to offer-pupils.
Several members requested informa-
Jion regarding the several proposed sites,
and Thos. Mcconnell renewed his mo-
ton to appoint committee to select a
proper location.

DRENCHED THE GRINDER.
The Story of IA Practical Joke Tha
Worked Both Ways.


Some practical jokers have been in the
habit of hiring an organ-grinder to stand
in front of Bergman's cigar store on J
street, near Seventh. and play a couple of
hours every Saturday night.
1t was done to annoy Bergman. The
latter warned the dispenser of "White
Wings" ETC., to keep of, but he made his
appearance last Saturday as usual. Berg
man stole up to the floor above his store,
and, with the assistance of a friend, pro-
ceeded to empty several pals of water on
the grinder. The latter, however, con-
tinued to play in spite of the fact that he
was drenched to the skin. He also took
possession of one of the buckets which
was accidentally dropped from the win
dow.
Bergman is now trying to figure out
who the joke is on-the organ-grinder or
