OF the Silver State, the District At.
torney received information that A. A
Flint. one OF the jurors, had frequent
ly asserted that he believed in the
guilt OF Vaughan, but in event of be-
ing accepted as juror he would GER
tainly acquit him, no matter how
strong the evidence might be against
him because he was opposed to cap
ltal punishment.
As soon as the District Attorney
was convinced Of the truth of this in.
formation he notified Judge Mack
and the case was continued till 2
o'clock Saturday when the matter was
thoroughly investigated and its truth
established. Judge Mack then order.
Flint out of the jury and commanded
the clerk to tako his name from the
jury box as a person unfit to ever
serve as a juror again.
The case was then continued unit

The San Francisco call., 1895-10-14

Attention is called to F. L. Day of the
Bay City Wheelmen, who finished tenth.
He st arted siXty-third and overlook them
one by one. In another mile he would
have won. Nobody passed him, and for a
new rider his performance was particu-
larly creditable
The finish was a scene of great confu-
sion, as the road was packed on each side
with people all yelling themselves hoarse,
and ali neighboring trees and housetops
were covered. Through it all, however,
the timers and scorers, mounted on a
raised platform at the tape, were cool and
collected, and the only man not accounted
for was a edhaired Acme rider who fin
ished sixtieth. He had no number on his
wheel, no one seemed TO know him, and
the mystery as to his identity may never
be solved.
Chairman Gibson of the road-racing com
mittee distributed the prizes to the win
hers OF time and place after the race
Among them were diamond locket, a
diamond ring unset diamond, gold watch
diamond link leeve-buttons, gold fob, dia-
mond stud, silver flask, quartz ring ana
other articles of like value. The special
trophy of silver cup from the olympic
Publishing Company was awarded to the
Acme Club on points.
The officials who contributed so much to
the success of the race were: Referee, H.
H. White; judges-Al Holloway, H T.
Wynne, A. J. Powell, c. w. Gompertz,
Joseph Catanich, J. f. Hancock, T. Spill
lane: timers-George H. Strong, George
P. Wetmore, George II. Stratton, J. T.

gan, F. II. Dunno, H. P. Howard; scorers
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-14

everywhere-San Jose, Oakland, Berkeley
and this City being largely represented
Only two-thirds of them actually fin
ished the race, however, and what hap
pened to the Others is long story OF hard
luck, punctures, broken wheels and the
]ike-too long to find space here Davis,
Griffiths and Languetin fell, but 1e-
mounted and finished in good time. Free
man rode in on a fat tire. Irones and
Hurley collided. Jesse Ives saddle
turned. Goddard had puncture. Allan
Jones and Ed Chapman, two speedy Olym-
pics, met with mishaps and quit. So it
was ali along the line, and even the sixty
two who crossed the tape. singly and in
punches, showed some evidences of having
come to grief
The winner turned up in one McDougall
of Pleasanton, a member of the Acme
Club, whose initials no one knew, and who
may be protested, because it was said he
had not belonged to the club the requisite
sixty days before the race. The Acmes
won the race last year, but Brouillet, who
did the trick then, finished hfty-eighth
yesterday. John Wing of the San Jose
Road CLUB madebest time, 25 SO 2-5, which

mended. And the club and it's annex few
toward the little city that was the mecca
for all cyclers in this part of the world
yesterday.
There were any number of records broken
on that five mile stretch, and though tie
Haywards road was fairly alive with
bicycle riders yesterday, you will discover
by inquiring of the members of THE CALL
Bicycle Club this morning and all the rest
of the week that they passed everything
on the road, except few pumps and soda
water stands. With becoming modesty,
however, born of q desire to give the other
clubs and the unattached riders a fair
show and every possible announcement,
none of the records made by memb bers of
The CALL wheelmen are published at this
time. But if Jimmie Swinnerton insists
upon getting in the way with his tandem
at future events and such crack men as
Simpson OF the Chronicle and Jerome of
the Custom house insist upon making the
! road dusty when THE CALL Bicycle Club
passes by, extreme measures may be re-
sorted to, and list of records published in
tabular form that will make common,
ordinary people go into training at once.
On the homeward trip the belated trade
winds blew straight IN the faces of all the
riders, not even excepting THE CALL
wheelmeD. But it didn't phase them in
the least, and they arrived in San Fran
cisco in ample time for their respective
duties, as this mornings paper will show.
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-14

set the pace over the intervening II miles
to the red ribbon at Haywards at gait
that would have startled the racers had
they been abroad SO early.
Nearly all the departments of the paper
were represented-the business office, the
editorial rooms, the composing rooms. the
art department, the etching and the press
rooms. They took the $3.50 boat at the foot
of Market street, and arrived an hour later
at Fruitvale. The ladies' annex sent fair
representation, both as to numbers and
otherwise, and in all THE CALL bikers num-
bered about forty. The first halt was made
at San Leandro, where there was rest
long enough to permit such speedy riders
as Boyle, Smith, Helmore and the rest to
rub the foam off their steeds.
1t was here that the incident of the tack
occurred. While Mr.. Foltz was doing his
famous English curves in front of the
Estudillo house to the admiring gazes of
the annex and the CLASSY eyes of the less
skillful male riders, one of the older in
habitants of the classic burg-with bunch
of whiskers on his chin-became inspired
with brilliant and original plan for add
ing to the general ioyousness of the occa-
sion. Perhaps this inhabitant was farmer

HARRY HARVEY KILLED.
Acme Club, McDougalI, Won First
and Wing of San Jose Made
Best Time.

1t vas a great day for the riders of the
wheel yesterday and those who crossed
the BAY and rode to Haywards witnessed
probably as exciting road race as has
ever been seen hereabouts before. Ger
tainly in point of entries and the number
of accidents happening to the riders it was
way ahead of any previous similar event
of the kind.
One serious mishap occurred and that
was so serious and so unfortunate that it
cast a damper over the entire days sport.
1t was about IL :15 o'clock and some of the
riders were as much as twenty minutes on
the way An electric car, No "a, crowded
with officials and the press representatives,
had started at the same time the limit men
did and had kept UP with them all the
distance. 1t was nearing the water-tank
at the junction of the San Lorenzo and
Haywards roads, going at a high rate of
speed when several wheelmen, not racers,
by the way, who were riding a side path
alongside the railroad track, attempted to
cross in front of the fast approaching car.
The motorman sounded his whistle and
the two who did manage to cross had a
narrow escape.
The third Harry Harvey of the Cali
fornia Cycling Club, saw it would be i'm
possible for him to get over in safety. He
turned his wheel 10 avoid the collision, but
the front wheel caught IL a rat and threw
him off his mount directly on to the
tracks. The car was right upon him and
as it was impossible to stop it his life was
crushed out in an instant. The car was
stopped and his remains carried to house
near by. The body was frightfully
mangled.
Harvey was 25 years of age and was en-
ployed IN this City by the Pope Manu-
featuring Company, where his brother, J.
W. Harvey. the weli-known racer, also
worked. The latter was in San Leandro
at the time OF the accident and when told
OF il he was completely unnamed.
Strange TO say Haryey's wheel was un-
injured, as he was thrown from it on to
the tracks; the front wheel when it struck
The rut bucked him off.
The race itself was new to the wheelmen
here, because of the large mum Der of riders
in il, and it was proportiOnately difficult to
handle. But the times taken were all ac-
Curate, thanks to the efficiency of the Off
cials, and for sucn a big affair it was
splendidly handled.
The course lay from High street, Fruit
vale, 10 Haywards, Just ten miles. The
course was not IN very good shape, as it is
getting late in the season and the roads
were cut up and sandy in places. There
were originally ninety-eIght entrants, and
of this number ninety started, exactly
double the number in the race last year,
for this was the regular annual ten-mile
event of the California Associated Cycling
Clubs. These ninety starters hailed from

whole to show not less than per cent of
cream. The Babcock test was thought to
be the proper method employed in de-
termining the purity of the milk offered
for SALE
DR.. Williamson expressed himself as
pleased with the apparent willingness of
the Milkmen's Association to aid the
Board OF Health in the matter of supply
ing the public with pure milk, and prom
lsed to present the matter to them at the
next meeting. For the edifcation of those
present not familiar with the Babcock
test, DR.. Williamson had Milk Inspector
Dockery give practical demonstration of
the matter. The milk tested yielded a
fraction over 3 per cent of butter fat.
Dr. j. Z. Spencer Saturday filed the fol-
lowing report on the milk furnished the
City and County Hospital by John Roberts !:
Report on milk from John Roberts supplied
he City and County Hospital:
roscopical examination: Diminished pu-
rlty cream ia fat. Cream, per cent; specific
gravity, 1920. J. c. SPENCER,
City Bacteriologist.
According to the Milk Inspector there
should have been II per cent of cream and
the specific gravity should have been TO- 80
Consequently he contends that the inva-
lids and patients of the City and County
Hospital have been fed on impure and
adulterated milk, which is all some of
them are able to consume as food.
Milk Inspector Dockery went at the
mllkman of the hospital like sIeuth on
the trail of bandit. Yesterday morning
about 3 O'Clock he went to the Institution
and secreted himself in the watchman's
room, where he lay in wait for The arrival
OF the milkman. About 4 o'clock he was
rewarded by the entrance of that individ-
ual. who came in at the upper gate.
After about four cans had been carried
IN he seized one, shook it up we'll and took
therefrom two samples, which were placed
in bottles and promptly sealed. One of
these samples was given the milkman, who
happened to be son of the man who has
the contract to supply the hospital, and
the other Mr.. Dockery brought to town
with him and turned over to the Bacteri-
ologist of the Board of Health, whose re-
port on the same appears above.
Mr.. Roberts will be arrested to-day
and proceedings will be begun against him
TO fine of $500 and six months imprison-
ment in the County Jail.
