BAY CITY WHEELMEN MEET
Good Sport Among the Cyclists
at the Central Park
Track.
A LARGE CROWD ATTENDED,
II. F. Terrill. w. F. Foster, G. A. MIS-
sen and S. D. Vincent Carried Off
the Honors Of the Day.

Bicycle racing is sport that has come
to stay, for fully 5000 spectators occupied
the grand stands and bleachers at Central
Park yesterday afternoon, and cheered
themselves hoarse over the fast racing and
exciting finishes. 1t was Jolly crowd
made up in large part of ladies, all OF
whom had their fayorites, and were alter
nately elated or downcast as the rider they
were championing won or was unsuceess-
full. There was no halfway with them
second or third place did not count.
The honors of the day were about evenly
divided, the riders from this city, Oakland
and San Jose being successful in winning
an equal amount of prizes.
The track at Central Park has cement
surface, is five laps to the mile, steeply
banked on the turns, and is considered
fast, but the strong wind yesterday re-

A BICYCLE COAST LINE,
A Boynton Single Track Rail-
road to Santa Cruz
Proposed.
Rights of Way and Part OF the Capt.
tai Promised for the
New Road.

a bicycle or single-track railway to
Santa Cruz from San Francisco through
the Halfmoon Bay and Pescadero country
along the coast is among the possibilities.
Representatives of the owners of the pat
ents in the Boynton bicycle railway have
been quietly at work for the past two
weeks, and claim TO have secured rights of
way over two-thirds OF the proposed line
and to have good prospects of raising the
capital necessary, which is 1000, or half
the total cost of the road. The Boynton
people say that they will put up the other
half.
Ex-Attorney-General W. II. H. Hart
and Sumner W. Bugbee have purchased
the patent rights for the Pacific Coast. Mr..
Hart, in speaking of the matter yesterday,
said:
1.-The capitalists back OF us, the Boynton
Bicycle Railway people, promise that if we
can get $3.50. 600 subscribed here to the cap
ital stock they will put up the balance re-
quired. Of this $4,000 has already been
offered by one man, and we are negotiating
with three others to take as much more
stock. I think we can put our hands on
s15o, 600 inside of week, and have little
doubt now that the company will be or
ganized and ready to go ahead with the
building OF the road within six weeks.
InlS system Is so much cheaper than
the others that the road will cost to build
and equip not over $1,000 mile. We ex-
pect to raise enough, about $500, 900, to
complete the road and put it in running
order without issuing any bonds. The
Baden people have offered US terminal
facilities there, but we would probably
prefer to come into town.
"If built, the road will be elevated at all
crossings. both railway and highway, and
a speed of about 100 miles an hour can be
made. This will enable US to land pas
sengers from this City to Santa Cruzein an
hour and half, including stoppages. We
would build the road to be operated by
electricity"
The Boynton bicycle railway is built
with single-rail track with guide rail
overhead. The cars are but six feet wide,
and may be built in one or two stories or
tiers in order to move evenly and dis
tribute the weight 1t is proposed to carry
both freight and passengers.

CRICKET AT BERKELEY.
The World Played FOO Strong for the
Australians.

The World Played FOO Strong for the
Australians.
A great number OF cricketers met at
Klinknerville to witness the first of the
three representative matches and a good
game ended in the victory of the World
team. Losing the toss they had to bat
first, sending in Theobald and Wise, but
disaster soon occurred, as Theobald was
caughtoff Robertson for three. Moriarty
came in and the cricket became lively, but
Wise was soon bowled by Robertson-two
for twelve. Hood joined Moriarty and a
great change came over the game, both
batsmen hitting in vigorous style and
scored rapidly, Hood being the first to go
after making 81 in his own inimitable
style. Mulch was the only man who
could stay with Moriarty and after making
16 was neatly stumped.
Nobody else could do anything against
Sloman and Robertson, who were bowling
splendidly. The innings closed for LII,
Moriarty making As not out-a very good

First lncIosed Meeting Held
West of the Rocky
Mountains.
GREAT DAY At CASSERLEY's.
The First Round OF a Stake Con-
tested For by Seventy-Six
Dogs.

The officers of the interstate coursing
meeting felt elated when they cast their
eyes on the immense crowd of ladies and
gentlemen in the grand stand yester-
day when the first brace of dogs was
ordered into the slips at the Ocean View
Coursing Park. Never was a more en-
thusiastic or representative mblage
seen there before. There were admirers of
the grand old sport from all parts of the
State, and although old Boreas was in an
angry mood and blew big guns during the
meeting, the day was most pleasantly
spent by all concerned.
The extraordinarily large entry of dogs
representing the principal cities within a
radius of 200 miles of this City was in itself
an evidence that the sport of coursing is
here to stay, and will flourish under honest
and competent management.
The grounds were in first-class condition

The Decoration day races drew a good
crowd. The track was heavy The time

s. J: r. c.; J. E. Edwards, O. c. W., and
r. Moody, G.. G. G.
This was a sprint from the start, and in
a tine finish Terrill won in min. 81 % sec.
Edwards came fast at the tape and nipped
second place from Mcfarland.
The third race was next run, a mile
handicap, class B, divided into two heats,
first, second and third in each heat to
qualify for the final. In the first heat the
starters were: W. A. Burke, A. c. w,
scratch G. A. Nissen, A. c. W., go yards /;
T. S. Hall, B. @. W., so yards: 7. Delmas,
6. G. c., 80 yards; II. G.. Smith, G. c. c.,
lis yards.
Foster and Long, the Olympic Club
cracks, were entered but did not ride. This
left Burke scratch and the nearest man to
him was 80 yards away. But the handl-
cap men did not intend he should catch
them if possible and set off at a merry clip.
Burke rode hard for two laps and then
withdrew. Delmas put up the best ride and
won the heat in min. "a % Sec, Smith
second, Nissen third.
There were five starters in the second
scratched. Wells was evidently saving
himself for the final of the one mile
scratch. The starters were: c. N. Castle
man, A. @. W, scratch; W. II. Haley, o.
C. W., 60 yards; r. Cushing, G. G. c., 100
yards; J. c. Smith, g. c. c., 100 yards; j.
W. Harvey G. C. c., go yards.
Castleman made a great effort to catch
the leaders, and wore himself out in the
endeayor. He was up to them at the be.
ginning of the last lap, but the bunch drew
away from him and Harvey won in a fine
squirt, with Smith second and Haley third.
Time, 2:24 2-5. Harvey lost the race, how
ever, by looking around at the tape, as this
is against the racing rules, and the referee
disqualified him.
Again the class A men came to the tape
in mile handicap race, divided into six
heats, the first in each heat and second in
two fastest heats to qualify for final. In
the first heat were: ?. G. Alexander @.

hard chances at the wicket.
The Australians on going to bat sent in
Hogue on Randall to the bowling of Ward
and Moran; Randall had soon to retire,
being bowled by Ward. Hogue batted
well for his eight. being at the wickets
quite an hour. On Robertson and Clarke
becoming associates it looked as if the
game might be saved, but Robertson was
bowled by Ward for twenty-six made in
very quick time. The inning was now
soon over, Reeves alone scoring double
figures, making ten, as he alone can at a
critical portion of the game.
So, after a good game, victory rested
with the World s team who won by twenty
four runs. Following is the score:
