he took the train, arriving here yesterday
none the worse for the long journey.
Conger will ride the remaining distance
to this City alone. Altogether they rode
HOO miles, in all sorts of weather and over
poor roads. Howe has the touring fever
however, and says he will soon be off on
another trip, this time southwark.
The Pacific Cycling Club will hold an
election OF officers at the clubrooms next
Monday evening. The club will have
another run to Halfmoon Bay, starting
on the $3.50 train Saturday for San Mateo
and riding from there to its destination.
Clarence L. Davis and Allan n. Jones
have started mild sensation in San Jose
by resigning from the Garden City Cyclers,
as thereby the club loses two OF its best
racing men. Davis and Jones are now
employed here, and have stated their
probable intention of joining the Olympic
Club Wheelmen.
Victor A. and Frank Hancock have lust
returned from the northern part of the
State, where they have been touring in the
interests OF the new road book of the
League of American Wheelmen, which will
be out about July Is. Chief Consul Mel
rose states that on account of the increased
membership of the league and great de-
mand for the book it will be necessary to
issue double the number of any previous
issue. The road book is in great demand
and is particularly valuable to touring
wheelmen.
1t has been suggested that the five-mile
road record of 1908, made by P. G. Alex-
ander last Sunday, could not stand, as the
requisite number of timers (three) were
not at the start. AS a matter of fact the
California Cycling Club, which promoted
the race, applied in due course to the
Associated Clubs for the necessary timers.
That they did not report is no fault of the
club giving the race, and Alexanders time
must be recognized as record and a meri-
torious performance.
w. II. Stinson and James Coffroth. the
Olympic wheelmen now touring Southern
California, arrived at Santa Barbara last
| Friday, and reached Los Angeles Tuesday.
They have had most enjoyable trip en-
route, and save for a few broken spokes in
Stinson's wheel, have not had an accident.
They will return by steamer. Stinson
| writes that the trip from this City to Los
Angeles is not nearly as hard as most
| wheelmen have thought it to be, and adj
vises one looking for pleasant two weeks

The annual joint run Of all the clubs be-

cling Clubs is scheduled for next Sunday

out, as fully 500 wheelmen will make the

tall and high,
With arms outheld entreatingly before the
glowing sky.
To gather all the happiness of dreams fast
floating by
And hold them for the dreamers that beneath
their shelter lie.
For from those trees there used to hang in
long-eone childish days,
The hammock Of our silent times, the ham
mock Of our plays;
and wild and romping ways,
While oil looked haply hazy In the sunlight's
Keeling rays.
Or else 1t rocked and wavered with a creaking
sleepy strain
AS dreams dropped from the shadows to a
story-weaving brain,
Till birds and bees about me sang a drowsy
sweet refrain
That slipped away upon thought where slum-
Der came to reign
swing my mind from present time till life is
yet aglow,
Through mists OF thought and tears OF years
see the long ago;
For childish hours are brightest and the world
fused to know
Was sweetest In the hammock old which
swung me to and fro

Detroit Plan of Raising Supplies for the

OMAHA Neb., March 20. Mayor Pin

be tried in Omaha this year. Some Of
Omaha's largest land owners, includ-
ing Herman Kountze, John A. Creigh-
ton, Mayor Bemis and A. j. Poppleton,
have agreed to donate large unoccupied
tracts of land within the city limits
for this season to be used for sustain
ing the poor of the city. The work
will be done under the charge of the
associated charities. The county and
city will be asked only to furnish seed
and tools and to pillow the land first.
Then the land, which will probably in
clude at least 1000 acres, will be di-
vided into small lots of an acre each,
and it is calculated that one acre ought
to support one family. Half the land
will be devoted to potatoes.
