yesterday mu st be counted as one of the
best races of the year. Six riders covered
the course within the former record OF
27 min. Is sec., made by William Christ OF
the Olympic Club Wheelmen last fall, and
to George A. Nissen belongs the honor of
placing the record at mark low enough
to warrant its staying there for some time
to come. He rode the ten miles in % min.
As Sec. which is remarkably fast, consid-
ering the course, and compares very favor
ably with the time made for similar dis
tance by the crack Eastern riders.
The race was ridden over the straight
away stretch from High street. Fruitvale,
to Haywards. The club set the starting
time at 1 P. NJ, hoping to be favored with
the usual high afternoon winds, which
would materially aid The riders, as it
would be at their backs all the way. But,
while there was some little breeze, it was
not nearly as strong as usual, and the
racers got little assistance in that direc-
ton; therefore their performances were
all the more meritorious.
There were twenty-four entries in the
race, with time allowances varying from
nothing to 6 minutes. All started but one
of the scratch men, Casey Castleman, who
was not well and decided he had bet
ter not ride. w. A. Burke, another scratch
man, was also out of condition, and, al
though he started, did not finish in any
where near as fast time as his past per-
formances would warrant, Castleman and
Burke have just returned from the Sequoia
carnival at Eureka where they did consid-
erable racing and sightseeing, and they
were hardly ready for another speed con-
test.
The handicap riders got all the place
prizes. The 6-minute men did not finish
we'll, but the 51l-minute men were all up
front at the finish, and one of them, j. A.
Clymer, won the race, his actual riding
time being 81 min. 81 sec. He will never
be allowed such start again, it is safe to
say.
The following table will show the posi-
tions at finish, handicaps and net riding

CONTESTANTS.

George A. Nissen, who won the time
prize and established new record, is we'll
known to the wheelmen of this State as a
very fast and courageous rider. He has
competed in many track class B events
and is on the March team. Riding ten
mile races is his forte, but at any distance
he is a dangerous competitor. The record
he made yesterday will stand for some
time to come, the only likelihood of its
being lowered being in the annual ten
mile road race of the California Associated
Cycling Clubs next October, when all the
fast riders from the various clubs will COM
pete.
The officials at the race yesterday were !:
Captain John Kitchen Jr., starter; w.
Sharp, r. B. French, B. G. Lund, NJ A..
Whidden and J. W. Finnegan. timers
E. L. Johnson, s. G. Scovern, scorers. The
arrangements were perfect, the officials ef-
ficient, and everything went off without
hitch.
There were six prizes for place, one time
prize, and special prize valued at $25 to
the rider breaking the coast record. George
a. Nissen wins the two latter. B. J. Sears,
A. H. Agnew, II. Hutchinson, J. H. Otey
and o. L. Pickard also came within the
old record of 27:15.
one OF the most successful ioint-club
runs of the year was that of the Bay City
Wheelmen and Imperial Cycling Club to
Petaluma yesterday. The riders left on
the A. M. boat and rode from San Rafael.
They enjoyed an excellent lunch in Peta-
luna and returned in the afternoon.
About forty men from each club attended
the run.
Merton Duxbury started on his long
wheeling trip across the continent yester-
day. He calculates to reach New York in
less than fifty-rine days, thereby lowering
the record made by T. r. Lille of Lodi,
CAL, in 1898. Duxbury was attended as
far as Haywards by the Olympic Clu b
Wheelmen, where they stopped to witness
the Acme road race. After it was over

HORSE BREAKING,
Thousands Attend Professor IGIeason's
Exhibitions at Central
Park.

Central Park contained about 10, 900 peo-
Pile yesterday afternoon to witness Pro-

There we're no accidents as on the pre-

an interested spectator, but he did not find
it necessary to exercise his authority as on

Five and ten mile road races have been

been particularly remarkable, as no rec

yesterday for violating the bicycle ordi-

Strange Shooting of Kiesow.

Antoine Kiesow met death at Melrose
last evening in manner that leaves some
doubt as to whether 1t was accidental or
case of suicide. Kiesow ran out of his
house about o'clock shouting II am
shot" and the neighbo-s at once gathered
around, but before he could explain how
the affair happened he was dead. A charge
from double barreled shotgun had
plowed through his right side and landed
in the roof of the cabin. Kiesow was mar
ried about five years ago, and after one
day of married life he separated from his
wife and obtained divorce. He was 80

Secretary CarIisIe,s Reply.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Secretary
Carlisle today sent the senate reply to
the resolution introduced by German,
asking among other things, for informa-
tion as to what portion of the gold re-
serve in the treasury January i, 1898,
had been used for current expenditures,
how much of the funds were realized
from the recent sale of bonds had been
so used. and the amount required to re-
tary says the original reserve augu
mented by the gold proceeds of the sale
of bonds was diminished during %
months to the extent of SIP, ,67s ,315, of
which $105, 5,0O2,l43 was directly or in
directly devoted to current expenses,
and $67 ,672, ,172 of which had been con-
verted into notes in the process of re-
demption was still on hand.
'It is proper to state In this connec-
tion," says the secretary, "that when
United States treasury notes of 1890
were redeemed in gold they were re-
ceived into and held as part of the gene
raj cash assets in the treasury, same as
any other money belonging to. the
government, and under the acts of May
81, 1873, and July IA, 1890, they were
paid out when necessary to defray pub
lie expenses. Whenever it is possible to
do SO, redeemed notes have been used
to procure gold coin by exchange with
banks and other financial institutions,
and in this way large amount of gold
was restored TO the gold reserve fund
during the summer of 1898, and some
since that time.''

THE NICARAGUA CANAL
Morgan's Bill Detrimental to
British Interests.
ENGLISH GOVERNMENT QUESTIONED
England Considers Such a Canal Should
be Under International Control, and
Will Advance This View.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-In the house of
Harland, conservative, asked whether
the government was aware that Nor
gan's Nicaraguan canal bill had passed
the United States senate and was now
before the house of representatives, and
whether in view of the Importance of
the canal to British shipowners, the gov
ernment would not make urgent re-
presentations to the government of the
United States against the provisions of
the bill detrimental to the interests of
British shipping. Sir Edward also asked
whether the government would consider
the propriety of urging upon the govern
ment of the United States the 1mpor-
tance of the creation of a British and
American commission to deal with the
question of the construction of the canal
and it's status when built.
Sir Edward Gray, parliamentary sec
retary for the foreign Office, replied it
was not usual for the government to
before foreign legislatures. The govern
ment, he added, considered such canal
as it was proposed to construct through
Nicaragua should be under international
control and whatever steps it may deem
desirable will be taken by the govern
ment to advance this view. He, how
ever, saw no reason to suppose the
United States would not maintain the
treaty engagement.
Sir George Baden-Powell, conserva-
tive, questioned the government regard
ing the proposed Pacific cables. Sidney
Buxton, of the parliamentary colonial
Office, said negotiations relative to the
construction of the cable were proceed
ing, but it would not be to the public
interests to enter into detailed state
ment of their status.

A SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT
Tillage-A Few DOn'ts sefuI In
the Training of Horses.

Into whatever business man may
enter, much depends on management.
This fact is too much neglected, and is,
i'll many cases, the only reason for fail
ure. Some people do not possess n
natural inclination to systematic their
work, but every man can, doubtless,
school himself to conduct all his work
after an improved method. The man
that goes on method can look back at
any time and see just what he has done
and what the results have been; while
the unmethodical man knows that he
has been doing something. but how
much or what, he is unable to state
definitely, and seldom knows ON what
particular rock his venture has come to
grief.
We know of no business in which
method is more needed than i'll the
keeping of poultry. The flock that
gets its food at amy hour and in any
shape that circumstances may order,
will hardly do even moderately we'll.
Such flock is very liable to be fed on
some food, not relished by it, day after
day, and when it refuses to eat the un-
palatable food up clean have its rations
cut down. | know man that thought
he had struck good feed for his poul-
try when he had access to a large guam
tity of rye, which he could obtain at
little cost. He fed his hens on it day
after day, and as, after the first feed
ing the fowls began to leave some, he
kept cutting the quantity fed. In Il
short time a few of the weaker fowls
concluded that death was no worse than
such treatment and took the alternative
of dying. The owner then awoke to
the realization that his fowls would
Starve to death on rye.
A part of the system of the poultry
raiser would be to have settled order
of feeding with settled list of all the
foods to be fed at the time of the feed
ing of these rations, regulating them
by the seasons and the objects for which
the fowls are being developed.
