WashingtOn's Birthday.

Sequachce is to be counted in the
front rank of all that is progressive
and patriotic, and to carry out thai
idea the Sequachee Musical Society
celebrated the recurrence of the
birthday of Washington in a becom-
ing manner at their regular meeting
Saturday last. After the roll call,
the president presented brief but
concise biography of Washington,
calling attention to the fact that 1896
is the Tooth anniversary Of the Fare
we'll Address previous to the retire
ment of George Washington. The
regular rehearsal then proceeded and
after that the Society sang.
l. Hail Columbia.
2. Red, White and Blue.
3. Battle Hymn OF the Republic.
1. Star-Spangled Banner
5. America.
and the evening was closed with the
Hymn of Peace to music of Kellar's
American Hymn.

THE RING

. The tongues of local sports, says the
Examiner, are Wagging as DuSlly now as
they were on the days which preceded
the Corbett-Sharkey contest at the Pa
vilion. This time 1t is the projected
eight-round match between Joe Choyn-
ski and Peter Maher that Is causing
all the discussion, and it is worthy Of
note that where so many are talking
about the affair very few have the cour-
age Of their convictions in such marked
degree as to essay the task of picking the
winner
In physique Joe and Peter are very
evenly matched. There Is but quarter
Of an inch difference in their height,
Maher being the taller, and when In
fighting trim Peter will probably weigh
172 pounds to Joe's 1853. In style Of fight
ing they are alike. They are neater
boxers and quicker than the average
run of heavyweights, and 1t is probable
that If voting contest were inaugu-
rated to determine which were the hard
est punchers in the business Fitzsim-
mons, Maher and Choynski would dis
tance all other candidates. Corbett
thinks that the decision will go to Maher
inside OF six rounds, but the passe POM
padour man does not like hot Choynski.
or our last local luminary Of the p. r.,
w. N. Naughton, the Examiner expert,
writes: Sailor Sharkey is not having
monopoly of the homage of the sport
ing world by any means, for even before
the sturdy sailor has given the critics OF
the east chance to feast their eyes on
him a new name is ringing through the
realms of fistiana. The Los Angeles
heavyweight, Jeffries, is the latest thing
in championship candidates, and judg-
ing from the manner he is being lauded
locally he has made a hit more ways
than one. There are any number of San
Francisco experts on pugilism who have
no hesitation in pronouncing this man
Jenries the coming king of the ring, and
that his fame is travelling Is evidenced
by the fact that the astute Billy Brady
wants to add him to his stable. They

GEN. CAMPBELL RECOVERING
A Visit to Him at the Asylum and What
He Said
Perfectly Rational and Improving in General
Hsalth-Hopes Soon to Be Discharged
and Resume His Duties

DR.. G. w. Campbell, county coroner,
yesterday made trip to the state asy-
lum for the insane at Highland to see
his friend, Gen. A B. Campbell, who was
few weeks ago taken with acute ma
mia and became SO violent that he had
to be placed under restraint.
He reports the general as doing finely,
perfectly rational and, in his opinion
in full possession of his senses. Gen.
Campbell asked after all his friends in
Los Angeles, and expressed desire that
he may soon be released, as he fears
that If kept too long people will think
that he Is really insane, instead Of hav-
ing had only temporary attack, from
which he has almost fully recovered.
The general attributes his dementia
to the exhausted condition of his nerves
consequent upon overwork On memo
rial day he made five different speeches,
each of which entailed considerable la
Dor in preparation. Combined with this
was worry over financial matters and
thoughts Of his deceased wife and boy,
which altogether temporarily dethroned
his reason.
He has but faint recollection of
what happened on the night of his vio-
lent outburst and laughed heartily
| when told of what he had done and said.
He felt fully recoveredu. and" DR..
Campbell said, looked it, In fact"
he remarked, Il have never seen the
general looking, acting or talking more
| like his own natural self since his wife
died than right now"
AS to the asylum management, Gen.
Campbell commended 1t highly and said
they had taken good care of him. He
is allowed almost full liberty and ac-
companied DR.. Campbell to the train
when he started home. He remarked,
anent the class Of persons he was COM
PEELED to associate with. that he never
saw such an aggregation of cranks be-
fore, and if he was half as bad in his
actions and speech as some of them are
he did not at all wonder that he had been
sent up. He hopes to be discharged in
side of a few weeks, when he will go to
the seashore to recuperate and again
take his place in the city's life.

The New York Central railroad is not
living up to the edict of the last legiA
lature regarding the passage of the
Armstrong bill, which compels railroad
corporations to carry bicycles free as
baggage. The saving this measure has
done for wheelmen in New York state
Is inestimable. Last year many thous-
ands of dollars fattened the treasury
Of the corporation. but the Armstrong
bill had the effect Of shutting of this
source of income, and consequently the
action Is resented. Wheelmen can hardly
get their wheels on the through trains,
and must tip the baggagemen If they
wish to receive their bicycles back un-
state division resents, and wishes to en-
phasize its protest most forcibly. But
the l.. A. w. treasury needs replenishing
and the membership roll invites the
signatures Of wheelmen. The L. A. w.
is worthy organization.
r. A. Smyth thus prophesies the re-
suit Of the great transcontinental relay
race: with the arrival of the three
transcontinental riders, interest in the
Examiner-Journal yellow fellow relay
ride has increased in noticeable man.
ner. 1t has created a desire in many
prominent riders to act as one of the
couriers engaged in the great undertake
ing, and, on the other hand, has devel-
oped a lot of calculating as to the time
which will be required to reach New
York. AS two riders have gone over
the route in thirty-seven days, 1t is es-
timated that the unlimited number
available for the relay will get through
handily in less than fifteen days.
Tom Butler is a phenomenal rider.
This youngster demonstrated his supe-
riority so easily over E. c. Bald at
Saratoga that it left no doubt in the
minds Of the spectators that he will
prove one of the candidates for cham
pionship before the season draws to a
close. Butler was an amateur last
season. but this year the orange streak
has shot out from the bunchton so many
occasions. to flash over the tape win
ner ahead Of the so-called champions
that some surprise is manifested that
he had not been heard of before. But
Ter rides an 80-gear, and this is quite
marvellous, considering the diminutlve
appearance of the whirlwind. 1t is said
that should he meet Bald. Cooper, Zeig-
lar and Gardiner on the national circuit
he will have little difficulty in proving
that he is capable of staying with the
best Of them.

Honesty Is the very soul Of sport. A
good sportsman has fair face and is in
capable of crookedness. Therefore, 1t
is matter for distinct congratulation
that the handicapping committee of the
Santa Monica road race have sifted to
the bottom every suspicion Of dishones-
ty and have revised the results of the
great race in a thorough and, to the true
sportsman, entirely satisfactory fashion.
No wheelman, however green, can con-
tend that, II he returned to the commit
tee statement that his best effort over
the course was, say, so minutes, know
ing that his handicap would be based
on that information, and the event
proved that he could cover 1t in 25 min
utes less, he has been harshly treated.
OF course, there are many suggestions
for the amendment of'the conditions Of
this race, and that some radical change
is necessary is apparent OF course,
due allowance must be made for the
fact that a man will make much better
time under the excitement and competi-
tion of race than inIan ordinary run,
but the general opinion seems to be
that it would be fair to allow a. differ
ence of ten minutes, and not a second
more, between competitors returns
and his accomplished race time. This
would be liberal allowance for the
difference of conditions, and any man
who made ten minutes better time than
his returns should be disqualified with
out further parley. The handicapping
committees investigation was minute
and thorough and it will be adding folly
to fraud for any one now to squeal.
Will Knippenberg. captain of the Ath-
letic club, is the right, man in the right
place. He does not intend that there
should ever be any complaint against
the raison d'etre of the club, and ath-
letics and gymnastics, all manly sport,
are to be very much cared for within
the next few weeks. About the third
Friday in August the competitions and
tournaments of the club will commence,
and they promise to afford plenty of en-
tertainment and wholesome recreation
for all those members who believe that
mems sana in corpore sano is al good
