the middle OF the month. Walter Foster
will go to Napa to-day. and about the 18th
inst. will try for records on the track there
The particular mark he wishes to lower is
the mile track record of AS flying start,

plucky Olympic rider will be successful.
The ladies' annex of the Liberty Cycling

next season is estimated at 100000. What
VIII they be like? What will they cost?
Wlll they be as heavy as the ones now in
use, and will they be as strong or stronger?
First as to weight and strength. There is
a pro bility that there will be a light in
crease in both. and it is needed. Bicycles
now are too light, and certainly they are
not strong enough. At least that is the
evidence of many bicycle riders, and one
does not have to be very observing to
know that men carrying broken wheels
through the streets are more numerous
now than they were before the days of
light wood tires. Broken frames on race
tracks are commoner now also than in the
days when wheels were heavier, and
bicycle accidents of all sorts occur with
much greater frequency. All of which
leads good part OF the bicycle public to
demand heavier wheels, for everybody
knows. that during this year, at least, the
manufacturers have sacrificed considerable
strength to lightness. Heavier wheels
would be stronger wheels. Three or four
pounds of material iudiciously distributed
over twenty pound wheel would add q
power OF strength to it, and the increased
weight would scarcely be noticed by the
The cost? Manufacturers say that will
be SlOO for the high-grade wheels, the same
as now, and $50 or so for the cheap grades.

day long have little difficulty in convinc-
ing their friends of the remarkable power
of Paine's celery compound to restore their
energy, renew their vigor and make them
strong and well.
Here is letter from Mr. Max Burgheim,
the well-known president and manager of
the Cincinnati Freie Presse Company. Mr..
Burgheim writes:
1.-The following statement may be of in
terest. l have been suffering from Sleep
lessness, insomnia, for many years and,
although have tried almost everything to
get cured, consulted the best physicians,
and even going several times to Europe,
everything was in vain.
II did not have nights rest for almost
six years, that is to say, 1 could not sleep
for two hours IN succession in single
night; you can easily imagine what the
effect on me had been.
AFTER spending a fortune in trying for
relief had given up almost all hope, and
when | first read about Paine's celery
compound l did not have much faith in
anything. But after having used so many
remedies and consulted so many physi-
clans in this country and abroad | felt like
giving the compound trial. The result
was truly wonderful.
1.-THE very first night, about six months
ago, that / tried Paines celery compound
you can imagine my Joy when 1 found
that l had slept six hours in succession, q
thing that had not been blessed with for
so many years. 1 continued the use for
over three months with the same happy
result, and, although 1 was fearful lest tho
malady would come back on me, [ can
now say that, although I have not taken
the compound for months, 1 do sleep every
night peacefully and without interrup-
ton.
you can easily imagine what this means
for man who works fourteen hours every
day in the year and has charge of two
large newspapers. consider my case a
most remarkable one and should be glad
if this statement would be the means of
helping others who have suffered like in
reason give you full permission to make
use of this statement in any way you
choose

OUTDOOR SPORTS.
Interesting Events in the Cycle
World and in Athletic
Fields.

Sportsmen who are interested in shoot
ing will witness the great Inanimate Tar
get Associations tournament, which will
be held tomorrow at the Oakland track.
1t is expected that fifteen teams will con-
test for the valuable prizes that have been
offered.
The wheelmen are making great head
way as usual, and several important events
are slated for the near future, as the rainy
season is near at hand, which will mean
stop to road racing.
The Pacific Coast championship will be
decided to-day on the Berkeley campus.
The universities of Berkeley and Stanford
will not be so strongly represented as was
expected few weeks ago. The Olympic
Club will probably have a majority OF en-
tries. but it is doubtful if it will do better
than take second place.
The report that splendid black bass fish
ing is now to be had in the Russian River,
near Guerneville, has been the means Of
sending large number of anglers in guest
of those game and edible fishes.
The oarsmen and athletes are havin g
good sport, and the yachtsmen will wind
up the season this evening by dance at
the clubhouse in Sausalito.

The provisions of the proposed ordinance
were generally approved, and the only
strenuous objection was made to the pro-
vision requiring riders to keep to the
right of the center of the roadway under
all circumstances. 1t was also suggested
that an effort be made to extend the rule
requiring lamps at night to extend to
other vehicles as well as bicycles, and that
the limit of speed be set at ten miles an
hour instead of eight.
The president was empowered to appoint
a committee to confer with other clubs
concerning the proposed ordinance and to
present the matter to the Board of Super
visors, it hearing was granted.
David Met. Marshall of the Bay City
Wheelmen suffered severe fall in Golden
Gate Saturday, caused by his handle bars
being loose and turning suddenly. He was
confined to his room for several days, but
is now out again. A. E. Kellom and II. W.
WEIGH, who were severely bruised from
falls taken in the clubs road race two
weeks ago, are rapidly getting better.
Harry Larkin, who fell from a roof and
was not expected to live, is very much i'm
proved in condition, and the doctors say
he will recover. He is being faithfully at
tended by King Rhys, and other members
are with him alternately all the while.

FOOTBALL ON THIS COAST.
An Eastern University Trying to Get
Stanford Varsity Player.


a Stanford Varsity Player.
Indiana University wants a Stanford
man to be her football coach and gym
nasium instructor.
President Joseph Swain. formerly at the
head of the department of mathematics at
Palo Alto, sent letter this week to DR..
Wood, professor of hygiene in Stanford
University, requesting information con-
corning several of last seasons veterans
that were graduated with the class of '95
The fame of CALIFORNIA; athletes seems
to have spread throughout the East since
the defeats given the University of Chi
cago football team on this coast last win
ter, and the brilliant series of victories
scored by the small but efficient track
team of the University of California in it's
Eastern college tour this summer.
The letter from the president of Indiana
University had hardly been received at
Stanford University when telegram came
Wednesday from the Indiana football cap
tain emphasizing the request for HARRISON,
Walton or Downing. None of these men
are now at Stanford, and as their indl-
yidual inclinatio1s are not known, only
the present addresses of HARRISON and
Downing were wired to Bloomington, Ind.
Walton was a. one time So man, but
y
university, so his name was not returned,
the request having been for graduates of
the university. For the last two years
Walton has played halfback for the Re-
lance Club. This year be is giving spare
time from his employment to the coaching
for st. Mary's College, and it was partly
due to his instruction that the Catholic
collegians were able recently to win the
initial game, and that, too, from the
formidable Reliance Club eleven.
''Phat" Downing OF Pleasanton was
captain and right tackle of last years
Stanford Varsity and "Bilf' HARRISON
of Tulare was quarterback. Both men
were graduated from the engineering de-
partment, and both are now pursuing their
chosen profession.
HARRISON is assistant to the Park Sur
veyor in this City, and intends to play
with or coach the olympic football team
this season; he is already on the Olympic
nine.
Downing is doing engineering work in
Washington, and is captain of the Tacoma
Athletic Club football team.
1t is new thing for any section of the
East to think OF looking to the West for
instruction in football, and this eagerness
on the part of the Indiana State Univer-
sity with its 700 students is compliment
to the character of football played in Cali
fornia and to the ability of the players of
the Far West.
Three years ago it was considered re-
markable when Walter Camp and McClung
came way across the continent to give
Stanford and Berkeley their first instruc-
tons in the Eastern game, and now the
numerous and immediate possibilities of
the East are ignored for the apt players OF
the Far West.

will be called at 80 P. NJ. Those who Will
compete are: William Henchman against
A. III. Bullion for the Junior champion
ship and A. s. Pembroke against Cecil
Dennis for the senior championship.
1t is the intention of this club to hold
regatta on Thanksgiving day open TO all
the boat clubs. AT the last meeting
committee was appointed to take charge of
the regatta.
William Humphrey, president of the
Pacific Amateur Association, is in receipt
of a letter from John E. Budd, who refereed
the regatta at Sacramento on Admission
day, which virtually gave the disputed
senior race between the Pioneer and South
End crews to the South Ends. In his
letter he states that owing to approaching
darkness and some of the South End crew
being missing when orders came to re-row
the races, his decision was to re-row the
race in San Francisco at a time set by the
eXecutice committee of the p. A. A.
Sunday. September %, was the time set
for the race. The South Emo crew COM
piled with the decision and went over the
course alone on the Pioneers refusal to
line up with them.
A meeting of the P. A. A. will be held
next Friday evening, when 1t is thought
the prize will be awarded the South End
crew.
E. F. Somps is the latest addition to the
ranks of the South End Club. He has pur-,
chased John T. Sullivan's fast wherry and
will row in the coming regatta.
The South Ends are employing new
scheme to develop material in their CLUB.
All new members are being coached pre-
paratory to the 'itrying-out" races which
will be held this winter between crews Sc
lected from new members. The material
selected from these crews will form the nu-
cleus of next seasons racing crews.
The officers elected at the last meeting
of the club were: President, A. j. Fritz (;
vice-president, John l.. Herget; recording
secretary, Ed J. Banning; financial secre-
tary, Ed P. Shorthall; treasurer. a. ].
Melletz; sergeant-atarms, James r. Gren-

tain, F. Duplissea.

Dan Connolly, the afterwaist man OF the
clubs champion junior crew OF the coast,
has opened negotiations with local boat
builder to build him racing shell, as he
intends to discontinue barge rowing and be-
come a single-sculler.
A committee from the Olympic Club will
go to Tiburon Sunday to select site for
their new boathouse, and, in the event OF
their failing to find a suitable place at
Tiburon, site on Oakland Greek will be
selected. The committee will report its
selection at the Olympic Club Tuesday
evening.
One week from Sunday the Pioneer Row
ing Club will hold regatta at Long bridge
The races will consist of four-oared events
between the married ana single members
also single-scull races and an Indian canoe
race between Dan Fitzsimmons and an
Alaska fisherman, who has had consider
able experience with canoes in northern
waters, will be added.

for best time and fourth place. A special
meeting of the members was held after the
race, and it was decided, if the two con-
testants were willing, to have them ride
off the tie at some near future date, with
tandem pace-making, to decide who is en-
titled to the prizes, and also in the en-
deavor to lower the hve-mile record.
The Outing Road Club has disbanded
ana the members will join other clubs,
a good many going into the San Francisco

very successful and held several road
events and many pleasant evenings at
home at the clubrooms.
A letter from Harry F. Terrill, the great

the Bay City Wheelmen, reads as follows:

that is ever since the match was pro-
posed-positively stated that it would not
take place in Texas and his determination
in calling a special session of the Legisa-

There can be no doubt that Corbett under

screw loose somewhere and it is decidedly
problematical now where the fight will
take place, that is if it should take place
at all.
A rather ludierous article appeared few
days ago In one OF the evening papers,
which stated that the managers of the
Coima Club were hoping to get the big
fight. OF course there was not word of

of the athletes who will spar appeared in

Old Railroad Brotherhoods Opposing the
A. r. U.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The fight between
the American Railway union and the
old railroad brotherhoods, which ante
dated the big strike of last summer and
became more bitter at that time because
the old brotherhood men refused to join
in the strike, has not been softened by
the hand Of time; instead, the feeling
between the rival bodies has apparently
become more intense. Sunday the sub
ject was discussed at length by 200 or
more leaders of the Order of Railway
Conductors and an almost unanimous
expression was found in the adoption of
resolution recommending to the COM
ing biennial convention of the grand
division that the line be drawn in the
order to exclude all members who refuse
to renounce allegiance to the American
Railway union.
There are many members of the Order
of Conductors who are also members of
the American Railway union. The
leaders in the meeting insisted that no
man could serve two masters, that no
conductor could hold membership in
two organizations whose interests We're
inimicd and between which there was a

Woman's Rights.

In a recently published medical work,
the author asserts that nine -tenths of the
women of America are subject to uterine
and kindred diseases and in consequence,
maternity becomes to them a dreaded
burden. How very small is the proper
ton of ladies who reach middle age
wearing the bright glow of health which
was their maidenly attraction and Of
which they have been robbed by func-
tional disorders and nervous weaknt s. !
We take pleasure in recommending to
all thus afflicted the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, tried remedy,
