here next week will be of great interest to
the wheelmen of this coast, for besides
several OF our own men and trio of East
ern flyers who have been here before there
will come several with worldwide reputa-
tons for speed whom we have only read
about. After few days stay in this City,
during which they viii be entertained by
the large local clubs, they will depart for
San Jose and 20 into active training for
the two big meets to be held there on No
vember 8 and 9. A party of prominent
local wheelmen is being made up to go up
the load as far as Sacramento to meet the
visitors. The Bay City Wheelmen are ar
ranging for monster smoker at the club
rooms in honor of their returning club
mates and their racing companions. From
the time these men get here track-racing
will receive great impetus, and as they
will all winter at San Jose and try for rec
ords it would seem that while the season
is practically over in the East it will never
close in California.
The annual league election, as announced
in last Tuesdays CALL, furnished some
surprises, but it is the general opinion that
asplendld board of officers has been elected
and the organization should boom during
1896 under their guidance.
liz SOlhiiiibtCS appointments Iudue by
President White of the California Asso-
ciated Cycling Clubs, as printed in THE
CALL yesterday, are particularly well made
and with the large membership the asso-
citation now has it should become power
in the wheeling interests of this coast
The ordinance to be drafted and pre-
sented to the Supervisors for their appro-
val will be perfectly acceptable to the
wheelmen of this City, as expressed by the
representatives at the meeting held last
Monday night With this matter settled
and the proposition for lighting the park

men seems to have been having a very en-
joyable time down South. In letter to
friend here he states that he has been
travelling all over New Orleans and the
surrounding country with f. Howard Tut
tie OF Chicago, whom we all know ont
here. Terrill met Chairman Gideon of the
racing board i'll Philadelphia and received
q special sanction from him to race in class
A wherever he wished, so he will ride at
Tampa, Jacksonville and ST. Augustine,
Fla. next week. He will have but little
time to train, however.
AT 2 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon Emil
Languetin of the Bay City Wheelmen will
start from San Leandro and endeavor to
ride five miles to Haywards in less than IL
minutes 35 seconds, which is the coast
record. He will be paced by his club
mates, Andrews and Griffiths, Hall and
Menne, on tandems, and feels confident
that he can ride the distance in about
eleven minutes fat.
The American Wheelman, one of the
leading weekly wheel papers of the East
is now publishing over page of Pa

which evidences that the coast is
being recognized in the East as a
great field for the trade and a desir-
able wintering place for racing men. The

The first of the intercollegiate football
games that have been arranged by the
Reliance, Olympic, Stanford and Berkeley
clubs will take place to-day at Central
Park. The contesting teams will repre-
sent the Reliance and Berkeley clubs, and
a spirited game is looked for.
The Acme Club of Oakland will hold a
handicap bicycle race tomorrow on the
Haywards and San Leandro course. Other
events are also on the slate which cannot
fail to interest patrons OF cycling.
Now that the season for duck and quail
shooting is at hand sportsmen are having
excellent sport. A good rainstorm would,
however, vastly improve the pleasures of
quail and snlpe shooting.
Coursing is now enjoyed by many peo-
pie who visit the coursing parks. The
next important meeting will be held on
the plains of MERGED.
The oersmen are in hopes that Henry
Peterson. CALIFORNIA; representative, will
return from Texas with many winning
laurels.
The Olympic Clubs handbau tourna-
ment will finish tomorrow.

THE OARS MEN.
Famous Scu!lers Who VIII Row In
the Austin (Tex.) Regatta.

The oarsmen who are to take part in the
Austin (Tex.) regatta are now in active
training, and deal of muscle is being de
veIoped for the eventful days of Novem Der
4, 5, and Z.
The three star events of the great struggle
will be the single-scull event, prize $1,000,
to the winner; double scull, $1,000, and
four Dared, prize $500.
In the single scull are entered Henry
Peterson of San Francisco, champion of
the Pacific Slope; J. D. Gaudaur champion
of America; Edward Hanlon, ex-cham-
pion of the world; John Teemer, ex-
champion OF America, and e. D. Rogers.
The double scul entries are: The eau
daur brothers. Teemer and Rogers, and
Peterson and Hanlon.
The browning event OF the regatta will
be the four-oared race between crews rep
resenting England, Canada and the United
States.
This race alone should be well worth
going many miles to see. The English
crew crossed the waters for the express
purpose of winning this event, and their
crew is made up of the best rowing ma
terial in all England.
Canada will enter an exceptionally
strong crew, and the crew which is to
represent "Old Glory" will, no doubt,
make their opponents hustle to keep out
OF their wake.
The personnel of the crews is as follows:
England = Way Harding, champion of
Europe; George Rubear, ex-champion of Eng
land; W. Barry, J. Haines and S. Emmett.
Canada-Edward Hanlon, J. g. Gaudaur,
Charles Gaudaur and Z. Durham.
United States-John Teemer Henry Peter
son, +. ID. Rogers and ]. Hackett.
To strengthen the interest already taken
III the regatta the management has intro
duced novel and attractive feature of the
entertaining programme.
1t will be contest for the American
championship for lady scullers in which
Miss Rose Mosentheim OF st. Louis will
row against Miss Title Ashley of Hart
ford, Conn.
1t was confidently expected that SuIi-
van, the champion sculler of England,
would come over and take part in the re-
gatta.
Peterson and Gaudaur were each anxious
to measure strokes with him, as he issued
challenge at one time to row any man in
the world.
Stansbury, who defeated Sullivan in
Australia on the Paramatta course for the
championship of the world, and who was
in turn defeated by both Gaudaur and
Peterson at the previous Austin regatta,
told Peterson before he left for Australia
that he thought Peterson could defeat Sui
Ivan hands down.

The annual election of the San Francisco
Road Club, now one of the largest and
most prosperous wheeling organizations in
the City. will be held Tuesday evening
November 5, and nominations will be made
at the regular meeting next Tuesday even

guests of the Petaluma wheelmen to-mor-

There will also be a club run of the
Crescent Road Club tomorrow to Petaluma
under Captain Bearwald, leaving by the
same ferry.
Invitations have been issued by the I'm
perial Cycling Club for its first annual
party to be held Friday evening, Novem-

no bloomer ball, for the card reads
'strctlv evening dress" The hop will be
largely attended, as invitations are much
sought for.
The Royal Cycling Club will hold an
eletion of officers at the regular meeting
next Tuesday evening. Captain Rosen-
berg, who has been suffering for some time
with rheumatism, has returned from the
springs fully recovered. Guy Frost, the
winner of the first of the Royals series of
fve-mile road races, has been presented
with trophy in the shape of handsome
gold medal, which he will wear until the
next race is decided early in November
and his friends think he will be wearing it
after that time.

The roads outside of San Rafael going

Petaluma, are said to be in very bad con-

the Camera Club Cyclists will take the
train as far as Schellville on their run to
the Johnson estate near Sonoma to-mor-
row. Members are requested to bring
their own luncheon, but hot coffee and
milk will be supplied on the grounds and
the disposal of the cyclists. Many ladies
will accompany the party.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

Any action on the part Of the legislature
that has tendency TO impair the eff

rious mistake. Aside from the great ser
vice rendered by the militia In the main

tarbanee. the National Guard constitutes
y standing army that could be called to-
gsthsr at any time for the purpose Of de-
Tending the country against foreign inva-
eion and uphoidinE the national honor.
when 1t Is considered that the United
States has practically no standing army
rs compared with the other nations of the
world, II must be apparent that the Ma
sienal Guard would have to be relied upon
In the event of foreign war. Extrava-
sance In any department Of the govern
ment In TO be dcpiored. but there is such
a thing as rushing to the other extreme.

teal disarmament. then the amour;
