to be manifested over the officers sword,
which was donated by Oehm & Co., the
Baltimore tailors. Plans have been decided
upon by each b41tadion as to the manner in
which the contest shall be carried on. All
of the cadets ana friends of the second
battalion are going to cast their subscrip-
ton shares for any officer in this battalion
they choose, and twenty-four hours before
the close of thefSontest all of the shares
cast will be turned over to the officer who
heads the list. This will undoubtedly in
sure victory for ethe second battalion. as it
represents the Eastern, Western and Bush
ness schools. The Western will endeavor
to have Capt. AaE. Berry head the list by
placing all of its shares to his credit, while
the Eastern and Business will probably
confine their shares to Capt. Nelson Gapen
and Capt. Newton Ferree, respectively.
The same plan las that adopted by the
second battalion is: being carried out by the
Central companies which compose the first
battalion. with the exception that they are
rot going to vote for any particular officer.
all of them attend the one school Every
energy and nerve will have to be strained,
and an extra effort made by the Central, If
it hopes to be victorious over the other
three schools, as they greatly outnumber
the former.

PROF. DE PETRA SANTA
The Famous French
Scientist of Paris. /
A Leader in His Profession Who
Believes in Perfect Digestion. {
What He Considers a Nutritious
Tonic.

Throughout the medical profess
sion, but particularly in Paris and on
the continent, the name of Prof.
Prosper de Petra Santa is as familiar
as a household word. His knowl-
edge of medicine is profound, and
his great experience as a student and
professor of physiology have long
since made for him reputation sec
ond to none in his chosen pursuit..
His opinion, therefore, on what
ever topic relating to the science of
medicine is of great value, and lis
looked forward to with intense eager
ness, not alone by the medical frater-
nifty, but also by the masses i'll gen
eral, who have long since learned to
appreciate his prescriptions. 70
quote an old maxim which says, "a
stitch in time saves nine," Prof. Santa
is a firm believer in the saving quail
ity OF nutrients, as applied to sustain
health, and although he believes in
the use of tonics he is rather opposed
to stimulants, which he saws are an
injury rather than a benefit to diges-
ton.
Prof. Santa's exact words in favor
OF JOHANN HOFF'S MALT EX-
TRACT may as well be quoted.
Speaking of this great nutritiye
and nerve tonic, he says: LAS a large
number of patients lacked the neces-
sary power to digest solid food, and
would through the use OF stimulants
be merely excited and weakened,
therefore, | regard it of immense
value to the practitioner to bring 70
his aid nutritious tonic and remedy
like the JOHANN HOFF'S MALT
EXTRACT, which will act not only
as tonic, but as a nutrient as well,
and which is less exciting than wine
as a substitute"
The genuine JOHANN HOFFS
MALT EXTRACT exalts the ener-
gies and stimulates the nutritive pow
ers. without exciting the system.
Beware of limitations.
Avoid all substitutes.

BICYCLE ROAD RACE S
Arrangements for the Events Tomorrow
Morning.
Riders and Their Hnndicnps - Also
the Officers and the Hand
some Prizes.

Probably in no single bicycle event of this
season has so much interest been centered
as in the Sterling road race which will be
held tomorrow morning at II o'clock over
the Conduit read course Of twenty miles.
The clearing of the weather has been most
joyously welcomed by all of the local cy-
clists. and there appears to be nothing now
IL the way to mar the sport tomorrow
morning The road has about dried suffi-
Gent TO make good riding. and the only
disadvantage which is likely to occur for
the racers will be 4 stiff wind, which
springs up without much notice at this sea-
son of the year. If the wind is very
great it will be disastrous for record time
over the course in the race. The changing
of the time of the race, from the afternoon
to morning will bring out many additional
spectators, as there are no other affairs
occurring at the same tine to draw the
attention OF the public.
The hEnGicapping of the riders was per-
formed by Mr.. William Jose, and this
morning he turned over the result 10 the
protector of the race, Mr.. W. S. Macarthur
who has turned them over to the printer in
order to have the program arranged for
tomorrow. The riders the clubs to which
they are attached and the bandicaps are as

DISCUSSING ROUTES.
]. 7. Peters Favors That Traversing the
Santa Clara Valley.

]. 7. Peters Favors That Traversing the
Santa Clara Valley.
The question of the route to be chosen
for the new valley road from this city is in
teresting many people in the State. Said
J. I. Peters of Santa Clara yesterday on
the subject:
There seems to be some considerable rivalry
between Stockton and San Mateo, Santa Clara
and San Benito Counties. These two sections
are now bidding for the road. Stockton is
offering TO subscribe so many dollars provided
and adjoining counties offering so many dol
lars, no matter whether on the main or branch
line, so that 1T is competing line.
AS lar as am interested | hope that both
lines may be built, and there is no doubt but
what in the course of time there will be line
built out through Alameda or Contra Costa
ing the line to the city OF Stockton,
either now or in the future, as the val
ley road would not only have strong
competition with the lines OF Southern Pa
cifc, but would have the San Joaquin River
as competitor, and would be in the same
position as the Southern Pacific is now at Sac
those points and San Francisco at loss. Stock
ton is not in the proper place to succeed in get
ting on the main line of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin road.
1t would hardly pay the valley road to build
its road on that line at cost from $35, 900 TO
$65 900 per mile. Every available pass through
the Conlra costa range has been surveyed
more than once, and the estimated cost OF
building through any ofthis chain ofmountains
has been estimated at from soc, 900 to $40, 900
per mile. and that with heavy grades.
Take the route through the Santa Clara Val
ley from the China basin; it is almost a level
valley clear to the Pacheco Pass and would not
cost over $25, 900 to $50, 900 per mile for the
first 100 miles. The remainder, to the center
of the San Joaquin Valley, would not cost any
more, excepting to cross the mountain, which
would not in any great sum exceed that of
building across the Contra Costa range, and
the grade would be but little heavier, if any
Should this road be built through San Ma
teo, Santa Clara and San Benito, these coun-
ties would double in population in two years
The high prices of transportation now charged
by the Southern Pacific cause thousands of
acres OF the best land in the southern portion
of Santa Clara and San Benito counties to
lie idle -

nacle, where there is choir of $50 voices.
Two years ago she was one of the chief
soloists there, and, although she did not
belong to their religious fold, the saints
were as proud of her when she returned
home with the Whitney Opera Company
as if she had been one of their own flock.
In addition to buying up the house and
ombarding the actress with flowers, the
Mormons sent delegation to ask if there
was anything else they could do for their
ex-singer.
1t happened that number of members
of the company were anxious to visit the
Tabernacle and hear the organ. Miss Bay
liss mentioned this casually to the saints,
and, in spite of their objection to admit
ting Gentiles into the sanctuary, they at
once offered to arrange special organ re-
cital for the company. No one else was
admitted, and in the dim religious light OF
the vast building, which seats Ii, 900 people,
the opera troupe, huddled together for
company in one corner, heard programme
performed by Joseph Daynes especially for
their benefit.
81 think some of them were little over
powered" said Miss Bayliss, laughing as
she recalled the incident; 1.-THE building
was so big that we all felt lost in it when
the Mormons turned it over to US for the
afternoon. You see, it was my first visit
there after going on the stage, and the
saints wanted me to feel at home, even in
their sanctuary. That was why they con
scented to do such an unusual thing as give
an organ recital for band of Gentiles."
Reginald de Koven is writing new
song for Miss Bayliss to sing in the first
act of ssThe Fencing Master"

lngs in the San Joaquin Valley were at
least $12 600 per mile, while careful estl-
mate shows that the proposed line Cor that
portion of it lying in the San Joaquin
Valley, at least) can meet operating ex-
penses, fixed charges and pay dividend
OF 6per cent on paid-up capital upon gross
earnings of less than $1,000 per mile. The
roads in Iowa earn annually in the aggre-
gate less than $4,000 per mile, while those
in Kansas fall little below $4,000 and those
in Nebraska are about $500.
"In the estimate we made of a line from
Stockton to Bakersfield we reached the
conclusion that track could be laid with
63-pound steel rails, with ample terminals,
sidetracks, water-tanks, good buildings,
shops, roundhouses, turn tables, and fully
equipped with engines and other rolling
stock for large traffic for an actual cash
expenditure of something less than $4,000
per mile.
"The operation of the road will be as
economical as in any portion of the United
States. The grades in the valley are no
more than sixteen feet per mile, admitting
OF the hauling, if necessary, of forty-five to
fifty freightcars with one good locomotive,
power will move on the average road east
of the Rocky Mountains in summer and
three times as many as in winter. A ton
of coal will move at least twice as many
tons of freight in the San Joaquin Valley
as in any of the States bordering on the
Missouri River.
ut is safe to estimate that the same labor
East will accomplish no more than two
thirds as much as it will in the valley.
There are no storms during nine months
in the year and but few in the other three.
Less repairs to tracks, bridges buildings,
machinery and rolling stock will be re-
quired, because every condition, climatic
and otherwise, is more equable than in any
| other portion of the country.
1.-THE country the road will penetrate
will afford it good traffic, and as we will
be compelled to meet comparatively small
| expenses l see no reason why the line
should not only pay, but pay we'll"

not attempting to gain sympathy or SUBJ
scriptions for their book by making state
ments under erroneous headings in the
daily papers or by throwing mud.
Crocker's Directory employed the can
vassers who had worked on the old direc-
tory for many years, and their experience
and capability in that line is guarantee
of the faithful performance of their part of
the work, thus making it the most COM
plete directory in every respect that has
ever been published in San Francisco.
@ Crockers Directory contains many novel
features never before used in a directory in
this city, all of which have been highly ap-
preciated by those who have carefully ex-
amined it.
The publishers challenge comparison of
their book with any other that may be
issued, and are perfectly willing to abide
by the decision of the public as to their re-
spective merits.
The edition is limited and parties desir-
ing to obtain copies of the Directory should
subscribe at once.
