The California Cycling Club will hold a
tive-mile road race Sunday over the course
from San Mateo to San Carlos, starting
from the former point at 2 P. NJ. The en-
trants and handicaps are as follows
Klauenberg and Boyle, min. Vermeil
man, Mayo and T. Wall, ~ min.; J.
Wall, Strahle and Friedlander, N min. !;
Klotz and Birdsall, l min; Sternberg,
Theisen and Egeberg, q min.; Struven
and Reid, q MIN. LOWE, u min. Alex
ander and Harvey, scratch.
The performances of the two scratch
men will be watched with interest. Har-
vey is good road rider. and can ride his
ten miles under twenty eight minutes any
day in the week. Alexander is recently
from the East, where he made quite rep
utation for fast riding in relav and road
races. There is some possibility of his
lowering the record for the course of
1905 35 made by Charles S. Wells of the
Bay City Wheelmen last Sunday.
The wheelmen are all heading toward
Santa Cruz this week, to attend the Carni-
val and races there tomorrow. Captain
Thornton has called run of the Olym pic
Club Wheelmen, which will leave by the 5
o'clock boat tonight, wheeling to San
Jose and over the mountains tomorrow.
The Reliance and Acme clubs of Oakland
will also ride down. Several parties are
going down by rail and steamer.
The Imperial Cycling Club held a re-
ception and entertainment at its club
rooms, 636 Golden Gate avenue, last even
ing, which was well attended and very en-
joyable.
Mr.. S. w. E. Hawkins, advertising man
ager of the Stearns bicycles, says in the
Newspaper Maker that next year after the
present contracts expire, bicycle advertis-
ing will be done mainly in the daily papers
instead of in the monthlies as now. The
daily paper is the paper of the present.
The magazine is to it what the almanac
is to the mornings weather report.

ment of the locality of the City repre-
sented.

which he called attention to the lawless-
ness of that contingent of young America
that resides in Richmond, was read and
tabled until such time as Citizen" chose
to make known his identity and make his
charges more specific.
The president, Charles H. Hubs, called
n. w. McComas to the chair and moved
that the authorities be asked to sell no
more lots in the cemeteries, as such a
course would be menace to the health of

that there be a cessation of such sales was
unanimously carried
1t was decided to agitate the question of
grading the streets from Point Lobos to
the park and the intersecting avenues, and
from Fifteenth to Twenty-fourth avenue.
1t was further decided to request property
holders on these streets to grade their lots
and SOW them to grass.
AS result of the meeting the associa-
ton will recommend that the electric
lights on Point Lobos avenue be extended
to the ocean. Mr.. Hubs announced
that Governor Budd had stated that
he would consider tie appointment of
DR.. Petrie, who is a citizen of thar die.

"A Gable in the Clouds.

1t seems. that Mr.. Shepherd has a very
rich mine In an almost inaccessible part of
the Mexican mountain ranges, long way
removed from any railroad, which he has
oeen equlpplng at great cost with irst-class
mechanical appliances. Some time ago
MI. Shepherd concluded that his equip
ment required 5000 or 5000 feet of wire rope
Tor carrier purposes, but how to get it up
into his mountain fastness in single piece,
as as required, was question. BY no posi-
blllty could 1t be moved from the railroad
to final destination on wheels, and he
didn't see how it could be carried by burros.
But Mexican did. He explained his plan,
got the contract for carrying the 1Ainch
cable and successfully executed it. He
coiled the rope up at fixed distances along
Its entire length, each coil being approxi-
mately OF the same size and designed to
weigh oOo pounds, and loaded it on string
OF burros with proper fastenings. To take
up the slack between each two burros two
Mex1cans with padded shoulders were in
serted and faithfully kept up their end, or
rather portion of the line. The procession
was curious one, to be sure, but it got
there all the same.-Philadelphi Record.

Great Interest in the Southeast.

DALLAS, Tex, June 13.-The South

addressed to Stewart & Co.:

forget our class. JOHN E. HOWARD.
There is considerable speculation as to
what Governor Culberson will do, but in
view of the fact that while he filled the
position of Acknowledgement there were
contests right along in the different cities
OF the State and he made no move to sup
press them, it is believed he will not now

racing in Illinois, with a betting at

years. All the big stakes at Harlem will
be declared off at once, including the
