California.
Perhaps the nearest approach to AL

novels. was in California before the
American conquest. 1T was a lotos OF
peace, plenty and pastoral simplicity.
The Spanish colonists knew nothing
beyond this dreamy land, their tastes
were simple. their wants few, and they
enjoyed the present with no thought
of the morrow. With them life was
continuous holiday. and death came as
sleep. There were no great riches. no
extreme poverty. Crimes were rare,
immoralities few. Their good qualities
came from within, for there was no
surrounding civilization.
The Spanish hidaigo lived for enjoy

BALD THE CHAMPION.
Individual Leader In the Racing of 1895
Juggling with the Records.


With the beginning OF this week. the
wheelmen's racing season is practically
ended, excepting some few races in the
South. At the beginning of the season
of 1895. says the New York Press, there
were 307 class 3 men, high number
OF class A riders and a few old-time
professional riders. The report of ibhe
racing board of the League of Amer
lean wheelmen shows that from May
18th to date 205 riders have been placed
in the professional ranks, including
such favorItes as Sanger. Baker, But
Ter. w. f. Murphy, Blauvelt and
Grosch: PSI transfers have been made
from class A TO class b; PIC suspen-
sions are recorded, varying in terms
from 80 days to two years; zoe sane
tions were granted. OF which New York
state had 142. There were SO meets on
Decora tion Day throughout the coun-
try, 70 meets on July Attn and "a meets
on Labor Day.
Four hundred and forty-fve riders
were suspended for competing in I'M
sanctioned races. This seemed to be
the most difficult feature the board had
no deal with. Two trainers Were sus-
pended. Four riders were permanent
ly suspended for ungentlemanly con-
duct on the track. Nine riders were
suspended for not appearing at the
meets at which they were entered.
Thirty-six riders were suspended for
competing in races not handicapped by
the official Handicapped, and one rider
was suspended for competin in a race
while under suspension. The large
number of professionals is declared TO
be owing TO an understanding among
prominent riders to throw off the cloak
class b and come out squarely as pro-
fessionals. class b being merely a dis
tinction.
while the members OF the racing
board have been busy. the riders them
selves have not been idle Up TO date
l21 new records have been made out OF
a possible 1872. sub-divided as follows;
C1ass A, flying start, paced. none;
standing start. paced. four; standing
start. unpaced. one; flying start, I'M
paced. seven; competition. eight. Tan

During the season a tally was kept
on all riders in the hope of ascertain
ing the individual champion for the
season. The system adopted was as
follows: For each first prize, three
points: for second prize, two points,
and for third prize, one point. From
the beginning of the circuit races r. {.
Bald took first place and maintained II
until September 9th, when Cooper tied
him. and passed him the following
week. but l1e only retained the position
for about 10 days, when Bald again
took THE lead. and has since maintain
ed 1t. and has now practically won the
individual championship for the sea-
son.
The rank of all the riders ito date is
as follows: Bald. ISL; Cooper, IA; Muir
ply, ia; Cabanne, IS; Gardiner, 81; IT.
tus. AS: Bliss. AZ; Kiser, 46; Tenny, IS;
Browne. 36: l.. c. Johnson. 35; Coulter,

and Anderson. 8.
Tt will he seen that the majority OF
prizes went to the first 10 men, and
were valued at not less than $4,000.
The amount of the winnings of the
riders mentioned above, therefore,
ought TO exceed $4,000. AS yet the
great record which A A. Zimmerman
made just before Joining the profess
sional rank in 1898, DIN winning over 104
first prizes in that season, having a
money value of over $4,000, has not
been excelled. But that does not amply
that the riders of to-day are not his
equal in speed. Altogether, the season
Just ending has been most successful
and one which the riders or 1896 VIII
have hard work to beat.

She is continually ordering different
ways. Sometimes they hang in straight
folds, again are tied back half way.
They are crossed at the top and then
drawn apart, and so on until the heart
of the woman who makes 1t her bust
ness to keep up to date in everything
fairly sinks within her.
This season 1t seems to be understood
that artistic folds are the correct thing.
The curtain must be caught back far
up, and then allowed to fall over the
ribbon, band or cord that ties it This
rule applies equally to silk or wash
goods, and is certainly very graceful
Better still, it can be accomplished by
waiting for an upholsterer to find time
to hang the curtain
