THE Beacon of last week discovered

the county clerk showing the circula-
ton of the four Great Bend papers.
We are sorry the Beacon gets so jeal-
ously worked up over the matter. The
statements of the Register, Beacon and
Tribune were made before that of the
DEMOCRAT. and when those three re-
ligious brothers set the example by so
outrageously misrepresenting their
actual circulation, Mr.. Stoke was induc-
ed to place the figures representing the
DEMOCRATS readers proportionatels,
high. IF sin there be. then it rests on
the heads of our good contemporaries
they should not have set young. man
such an example.

the column and full brass band in a

inspiring scene. Bicycle dealers will reap
rich harvest from that splendid parade.
The real business of the meeting did not
begin until the following day Decoration
day., when the races, according to pro-
gramme, opened at Athletic Park. The
attendance, notwithstanding an unpleas-
ant southwesterly wind, was fairly good.
1t certainly would have been larger and

weather been more propitious. The events
were well filled. The results have already

Los Angeles is said, by those who pro-
fess to know, to be rapidly wheeling to the

Local dealers in sporting goods are
daily receiving orders for trout flies from
the McCIoud River district, where the
trout are beginning to rise to the fly.
They report that the streams are still high
and cloudy.
The salmon run of the week has been
very light. Boats have not averaged two

tribute it to the prevalent cool weather,
and state that few hot days will, without

Doves are reported AS being abundant
this year, and the nesting season is in full
swing in some localities; young birds have
already left their nests and the outlook for
big bags is very promising. Among the
local breeding ducks not duckling has
been seen. Game Warden Holmes states
that the sudden rise of water in the nest
ing grounds destroyed nearly all the nests;
the water rose two and a half feet and
stood at that level over two weeks; of late
he has seen mallard nests with the bird
sitting on but three eggs.

FRUIT Is PLENTIFUL.
Prominent Merchants Discuss the Re-
cent Sharp Decline in the Price
of Oranges.

OF oranges
The recent sharp decline in the price of
oranges was discussed by several fruit men
yesterday. The senior partner in the firm
OF EVeleth & Nash said: ''The one and
only reason for the fall in prices of oranges
is because they are out of season. In
Riverside and the surrounding country
there are cases upon cases of the fruit for
which there is no market. l have Just re-
celved letter from fruit-broker in which
he says: 1t looks as if we should have
stock through June This would be an
abnormal condition of affairs. Many Of
the dealers wanted the auction, which we
closed to-day, continued for longer time.
But this was impossible, as the prices OBJ
tanned were absurdly low. AT this season
OF the year people eat more berries, cher
ries, raspberries, apricots and such fruit,
for oranges are virtually stale. The large
lot of oranges now on hand cannot be
shipped East, as they are too ripe. The
California dealers lost their chance when
the Florida frost came. They put too
high prices on them, and Eastern consumers
simply went to Valencia for the fruit. This
is the consequence"
Frank Dalton of Dalton Bros. cor
roborated the statement of Mr.. Eveleth
adding that Everything has its day, and
that is the case with oranges, now that
cherries, strawberries, etc., are in the mar

especially quail, doves and wild pigeons.

Acme Club of Oakland in two pulls lasting
2 min. 35 sec. and min. respectively.
This was the Crescents' first victory.
Later, in the Fabiola lantern parade in
Oakland, the bicycle beyswon the valuable
clock offered for the largest number of rep
resentatives from any club outside of Oak
land. They had to compete with some Of
the largest and best-known clubs, such as
the Olympics, Garden Citys, San Jose

many others. In Santa Rosa the Crescents
distinguished themselves again. First
Lieutenant Fred B. Wilkins won first prize
for the disappearing visiting wheelman

against the Crescents. The Acmes Reli-
ances and Bay Citys were also after this
prize.
On Wednesday and Thursday evenings

SUM the clubs best athletes. Wednesday
evening Professor Lean is there to instruct
the boys in wrestling and gymnastics, and
on Thursday Professor Bean instructs them
in boxing. With such able instructors the
club, will, no doubt, soon develop some
good men. The most promising young
athletes in the club are Cecil Reed, Ed
Kline and Tom Rodgers. There are many
others who are worthy of note, but the
three mentioned above are especially note
worthy. Among those who are destined
to win distinction in the ring are J. C.
Berry, Fred Armstrong and G.. McCle liam.
These gentlemen have always taken an
unusual interest in boxing. and great
things are expected of them in time to
come. They, with possibly two others.

SPORTS AT LOS ANGELES,
News Of Interest to Wheelmen.
Riverside Cyclists,

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 31.-The
greatest event of the year so far in Southern
California was the big meeting of the Los
Angeles wheelmen and their many visit
ors in this city last Wednesday and Thurs
day Decoration day., and which certainly
eclipsed anything of the kind ever before
attempted here.
The meeting really began on Wednesday
evening with a splendid illuminated
parade. Estimates differ as to the num-
Der OF wheels, but as the number of appli-
cations for positions in line exceeded 1900
it is fair to say that there were nearly that
number in the parade. Some put the fig
ure as high as 1900 and over, but thew are
of the enthusiastic class, who USUALLY see
things little bigger than they really are
The appearance presented in the parade
was imposing, and as the column came

easy to comprehend the grip bicycles have
on the people of the city In this CITY at
least the wheel knows no age. It gathers
them all in, for side by side with the
"kids' of six can be seen the grandfathers
and grandmothers bowling along under
the burden of three score and more.
The parade, which was under the direc-
ton OF Grand Marshal s. II. Laverty, as
sisted by Richard Sullivan, chief of staff.
formed at Fifth and Broadway at P. M.
and by O'Clock, it being then sufficiently
dark for lanterns, was under way. The
route was extended SO as to give the dwell
ers in the central part of the city view of
the wheelmen, and the efforts of the latter
seemed to be fully appreciated, for they
received a continuous ovation along the
line. Miss Annie Londonderry, the globe
girdler, was assigned prominent place in
the line. Wherever she was recognized
she was cheered as if to do honor to her
pluck and perseverance. The procession
was headed by a platoon of bicycle police
specially detailed by Chief Glass to lead
