GREAT RIDING.
The Coming Bicycle Tournament
Promises to be Success.

To see fourteen men riding at a 2:20
clip on an eight-lap track, all in differ
ent colored racing suits IS a sight to sit
ones nerves tingling, if anything will
and as all Americans are lovers of sport
of course Sacramento people will appre-
ciate it.
Some very fast time was made last
evening at the Pavilion by Long, Terrill
Young, Davis and Leitch, the latter
showing fine form and riding an eighth
in IA 1-5 seconds, which is considered
very fast and is close to the track record
IA seconds) made by Davis on Sunday
Judging from the crowds of people
that daily visit the New Pavilion TO
watch the crack racing men train, the
coming tournament, which begins
Thursday evening. Will undoubtedly
prove a great success. Last evening
there were at least $500 people in the
building.
The interest shown and the applause
that greeted each well-known rider, es-
pecially the Sacramento boys, proves
that the sport has caught the popular
fancy That it will be even more popu-
lar after the first night, goes without
saying.
The track will be closed tonight in
order to make the final preparations for
the great meeting.
Those wishing reserved seats can pro-
cure them at the New Pavilion box Of
fee. at the Fifteenth-str entrance,
after 10 o'clock to-day. The prices are
25 and 80 cents, and rs cents for re-
served seats

WANTS TO GET OUT.
Convict Peter CampbeIl's Habeas
Corpus Proceedings.

Carroll Cook, the San Francisco Grim
inal lawyer, appeared in Judge John
sons court yesterday IN a habeas cor
pus case on behalf Of Peter Campbell,
a Folsom Prison convict, who was sent
up from San Francisco on two sentences
imposed within few days of each 9TH
er in January, 1890.
Campbell was first convicted of burg
larry in Judge ]. McM. Skaters court
and was sentenced to term of three
years. A few days later he was con-
victed Of robbery in Judge Van Rey-
neguTn's court and sentenced to ten
years.
Lawyer Cook is now trying to have
him liberated on the expiration of the
latter sentence. He argued that, under
the code, the lesser term of imprison-
ment commenced to run at the same
time the other did, and that it was
embraced in the longer term.
The code provides that when person
is convicted of two or more crimes be-
fore sentence is pronounced in either
case, one term snail follow at the ex-
piration of the other, but in the case
of Campbell he was sentenced on the
first conviction before being tried and
convicted on the second, and Carroll s

ONLY 4 QUORUM PRESENT
1t the Meeting Of Trustees to Try Street
Superintendent Croly.
The Trial is Therefore Postponed
Once More Until Next
Tuesday Night.

After the Board of Trustees closed its
adjourned meeting last night, Trustee
Leonard called the six who were present
and who sufficed to make a quorum, to
order, and stated that they had con-
vened to resume the trial of the charges
AGAINST Superintendent of Streets Croly.
Kent said that Wachhorst was absent
and he wanted him sent for so that he
could be brought and listen to the evil
dence.
Leonard stated that the reason for
Wachhorst's absence was that he was
eick.
Davis said he did not believe in going
on with the trial unless there was
full board, and that it would be better
to postpone until the other members
were present.
Pennish said he wanted to go ahead
as the matter had been deferred long
enough and he was tired of coming for
nothing.
Devine thought 1t should go on with
cut the presence of the other members.
Kent said he thought he knew of a
combine to prevent these charges being
tried He would be as ready as any to
aoquit Mr.. Croly if the charges were
not proved. He proposed to show up
trade that had been consummated and
knock it into a cooked hat. Mr.. Wach-
horst should have been here tonight,
but had been prevented from coming.
Pennish thought kent's remarks were
q reflection on Wachhorst. He had
known Wachhorst for years and had al
ways found him honorable and just.
If the member from the Second had any
mines to explode, let him go ahead and
do it. There were certain members OF
the board who wanted to convict Croly
before trial. This was neither right nor
just.
Kent denied any intention to reflect on
Wachhorst, but certain influences had
been at work on him for the past two
weeks to prevent him from voting
against Croly. AS for himself he would
give Croly fair trial and that was bet
ter than others would do, who said they
would not vote against him, no matter
what the evidence was. The streets
were unfit for use through his fault and
the board should find the cause and
remedy it.
Devine thought the trial should be
postponed until Friday night. and then
III votes enough cOulQ not De secured the
charges should be dismissed and allowed
to drop.
Tozer was opposed to any such pro-
ceeding. He wanted the thing to go on,
now that it had been started, and let
the board hear the evidence. The re-
porters were here. ready to publish II to
the people. 1t could be done just as well
now as at any other time. He did not
want to dilly-dally any longer and did
not propose to come any more on this
business.
Pennish spoke to the same effect.
Devine said that if there was no au-
thority that could force men to come
here and attend to their duties the char
ter was failure. There should be some
power to compel their attendance. If
they did not want to attend to their duty
they should resign and let other people
attend to 1t.
The further trial OF the charges was
postponed till next Tuesday night at
1:30 o'clock, ToZer and Pennish voting

tc be made on primary schoolhouses.
The bids for furnishing fuel being
first taken up, it was found that w. P.
Cothrin proposed to furnish and deliver
$50 cords of white-oak wood for So 90
a cord, and 20 cords of pine at SO %.
NJ D. Keet-20O cords of white oak at

ditions and repairs to the primary
schools were as follows:

The bids being read, Chairman Da-
Wis referred them to the Committee on
Building and Repairs, with instructions
to report to the board at the regular
meeting this evening
1t was found that the lowest bids on
each of the buildings aggregated SOL
6SS, while the tax levy had been fixed
to raise only S14 900 for the purpose.
This was intended also to furnish or re-
place necessary furniture, such as desks
blackboards, etc, and quite time was
spent by the members of the board in
making calculations as to the way out
of the tangle.
While no conclusion was arrived at
it is thought probable that the repairs
on the schoolhouse at Seventh and G
streets may be stricken from the list
which would bring the aggregate cost
for additions and repairs down to about
S11 GOO.
superintendent Erlewine stated that he
would give the matter his earnest atten-
tion and the meeting adjourned to meet
at O'Clock this evening, after allowing
the teachers salaries

BILE the capacity of the present school
house in Oak Park, the cost of which
will. it is estimated, be about $500.
The school accommodations fall far
short of the districts needs and it is
necessary that better ones should be fur

children will be deprived of the privilege
of attending school for the ensuing year.

views illustrative of the poem, The
Village Blacksmith which will be
recited by Miss Mae Connolly as the
views are thrown. Hon. Judson c.
Brusie will be the lecturer of the even
ing, describing the views as shown.
The club will use its own electro -Stere-

ability to make good pictures is broad

Beaconsf1e1d's Silence.

In 1875 Lord Beaconsfield paid his
first and only visit to Longleat, and
Lord Bath said afterward that he was
the dullest (the word, writes the
canon in subsequent letter. was the
NEST sllcnt') guest he ever had in his
house. He hardly ever spoke. F." Undoubt.
cdly Lord Beaconsfieid could be most
agreeable when IN the humor, but he
needed apparently stimulus of cOngenial
companionship or Of some end which
was worth the effort. BY all accounts.
he was given to fits of taciturnity, and
although he was known in his youth as
a voluble and persistent talker it was
impossible TO watch his sphinxlike i'm.
mobility in the house Of commons. sit.
