vile to Rocklin the road is very good

vile to Rocklin the road is very good
and speedy
Several of the delegation enjoyed a
fine run over the excellent and pictu-
rescue roads on the Whitney ranch and
homestead grounds. Most of the club
went from Rocklin across the hills TO
Folsom, to reach the Folsom wheelway,
rather than return across the Grant,
and others took the evening train for
the city,
Bauer and Pearson rode a tandem TO
Rocklin, the first time they had ever
ridden on a bicycle built for two. The
distance is twenty-five miles, and the
roads rough, but they made the trip
in one hour and fifteen minutes, actual
running time, having made two short
stops on the way.
After the meeting they rode across
the hills to Folsom, nine miles, took
only a brief rest there, and then, with
the mercury dallying with the 1OO-de-
gree notch in shady places-and about
80 out in the sun-they started for
Sacramento.
The road from Folsom to Natoma Is
a hard one for wheeling, and the side
path is little better along there, what
there is of it, Despite their thirty two
miles warming up" ride, their hrst
tandem experience and other draw
backs, the pair made the twenty-five
miles from Folsom to Eighth and X
streets in one hour and fifteen MIN
utes, including a delay of ten minutes
at Patterson's to initiate a tire that had
become flat. The boys insist it was the
tire, and not their stomachs, that had
flattened out, and that is probably
true, for they rode into town with the
same tire fiat again. Some say they
forgot the tire during the initiating pro-
cess.
Their running time for the twenty
two miles was therefore In. 15m., which
is believed to be up with any road
record heretofore made in this State.

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.

Than the SWOr0.
 , The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by story told of Melingue, French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old veStments, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 "What! Betray to these rascals that I have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. I will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword.
