BICYCLE ROAD RACES.
Executive Committee OF the A. F. C.
Takes Action in the Matter.

Takes Action in the Matter.
The executive committee OF the Astoria
Football Club met last evening. and.
after the disposal OF routine business.
took up the matter OF bicycle road races
This subject has been occupying the at
tentlon OF bicyclists for some time past.
and the idea met with much favor.
There are many bikes In Astoria, and the
lack OF q place for racing was a big
deficiency. II was suggested, and wisely.
that the level streets extending to East
Astoria would make excellent ground for
road races, and the matter was taken
up by the Astoria Football Club.
At the meeting OF the executive CONF
mittee last evening delegation, conslst-
Ing OF Messrs Gum, Gibson and Bsver-
idge, was appointed to arrange for a
series OF races, which will occur shortly.
Mr.. Gum suggests an excellent idea, and
one which win undoubtedly be put into
execution. He recommends that three
races be arranged. the person receiving
the greatest number OF points to be de-
clared the winner. First place would be
say ten points; second eight: and so on.
This scheme would give everyone a
chance for a prize. The race viii be a
handicap one. and IL open TO all members
OF the Astoria Football Club. Mr.. Gum
Is OF the opinion that It would be well TO
handicap the racers after each race, so
as to give all fair chance.
The committee will otfer trophies for
the persons getting places, and that there
will be an abundance OF contestants goes
without saying. Tho racers viii probably
start from the corner OF Sixth and Du-
ane, and run to Fortieth and Bond and
return. the distance being about Ave
miles, Duane street will be followed &c
the Clatsop Mills. where riders will turr
and take Franklin avenue to the resi-
dence OF Mrs. Leinenweber. Then they
will so down block to Commercial anc
down still another block to Bond. From
Bond they will ride probably to Forfeit
street, and perhaps further.
The road from McGregor's NH up Is II
splendid condition, and will make a pret.
ty race. The finish will also be fine, al
Duane street has been recently rebuilt
There are several hills on the course
which will necessitate training. Ladies
are barred. It's too bad. but such Is tn,
case But what's the matter with ar
ranging a road race for ladies'? Their,
are many experts in Astoria, and th'
race would be more interesting than tn,
| gentlemen's run. Altogether the seasoi
promlsts to be an enjoyable one for bi
cyclists. for the summer season will sool
be here and Sunday trips TO the beaol
will bo In vogue.
Next Tuesday evening the members o
the Astoria Football Club viii meet ent
select captains for the several teams
football. baseball. and tennis. A full at
tendance Is requetted. At last night
meeting Messrs. Charles Greene and Har
~ Cribb were admltted TO membership.

TRAGEDY IN CALIFORNIA.

Sonora. Cal. April 2i.-CoL Caleb Dor
sey. OF Oakdale. a wealthy and promi-
nent mine owner and rancher, was shot
and killed at Dorsey mine. eleven miles
from Columbia, in this county today. by
his mining partner. J. T. Newcomer, over
a dispute that ensued upon Dorsey
charging Newcomer with cleaning up
and misapproprlating amalgum without
the colonels knowledge.
The defendant viii claim justihable
homocide. He alleges that, during the
wrangle. Col Dorsey attempted to draw
his gun. with the usual result of being
too slow. The matter has created a most
profound sensation owing to the age and
standing Of both parties in this commu-
nifty. Both gentlemen were between G.
and 70. Newcomer left the scene of the
killing before his victim expired and came
to Sonora and surrendered himself to
the sheriff.
