A Picnic.

The Capital City Wheelmen met last
night and had a very busy evening OF 1t.
There We're many things to attend to,
and all of more or less public interest.
A number of new members were elected
and propositions for others received.
The Wheelway Committee reported
by Mr.. Miller both the Stockton and
Folsom paths in as good condition as
earth paths in dry weather can be. 1t
expressed intention to have better
ments made at once from Alder Creek
to Folsom, and from Thirty first street
TO the Junction. Also that a repairer
would be put to work at once, and kept
on for a month steadily on both paths,
an offer having been made that the
committee thought wise to accept to
that end.
The question of disposing of wheelway
ribbons was debated and all members
were urged to call on all wheelmen to
take ribbons in order too keep up the
wheelway fund, which benefits all,
whether club members or not.
The Committee on the Fourth Of July
Parade reported, by Mr.. Goethe, that
the wheelmen would compose an entire
division of the procession; that Mrs.
Frank Miller, Mrs. H. Weinstock, Mr..
Morton and r. D. Stephens had been
invited to act as judges and award the
prizes; that the awards will take place
at Agricultural Park just before the en-
tertainment in the afternoon of the
Fourth; that the line of march will be
formed in the Pavilion, Fifteenth and
M streets, between 8 and 10 a. m. on the
Fourth, and there the Board of Judges
will examine all wheels entered for
premiums Then the line will move to
Fifteenth and ] streets to take its place
in the procession. The Captain of the
club will lead the division, supported by
his aids and bugler Then will come
ladies and their escorts, then the Stock
ton visiting wheelmen, if they arrive IN
time, which they will be urged to do;
then Will come club members in uniform,
then wheelrnen not uniformed.
The banner of the club, with the Stars
and Stripes overhead will be carried in
the line. The club being asked by the
committee to pass upon the matter of
request to permit wheel trade turnouts,
unanimously resolved that in the wheel
mems division no advertising features
ought to appear or can be permitted.
With kindest feeling for all dealers, the
club thought that it was unpatriotic
and inappropriate to mingle advertising
of wheels with a parade which is given
in honor of the Nations birthday. By
vote the club appealed to all its men,
bers to be loyal to the club and appear
with it on the Fourth and not to take
part in any other wheel features.
The committee requested that all club
members so far as possible appear in
uniform, and that all wear a knot of the
club colors in the parade, consisting Of
black, garnet and gold. The committee
stated that every preparation had been
made to prevent crowding upon or an
noyance of wheelmen and wheelwomen.
There will be special police protection
and a large array of special marshals
from the club, SO that lady Wheelers
need not fear a particle of the repetition
Of the annoyances of last Thursdays
parade.
The committee said it had sent out
postals soliciting pledges to turn out,
and that it is receiving gratifying re-
turns. 1t is now the belief that fully 500
