The class of friends" very often in
cluded some one at least of the fair sex,
who more than appreciated the fine figure
which her hero presented in racing trim.
Many drivers, too, took advantage OF the
chance to give their buggy-horses
breather and followed the sport with pecu-
liar advantage. ALI in all, 1t was as motley
an assem- blage as ever was drawn together
in the pretty suburbs OF Oakland.
The associations events always draw
large crowds to the start and finish OF the
races, and Yesterdays attendance was
much greater than usual. The race was
scheduled to leave FruiIvalo at IL O'Clock,
and an hour before that time the vicinity
of High street and the San Leandro road
was O mass of cyclers, with more arriving
ali the time. When it came time to start
the different contestants Starter Fawcett
found great difficulty in getting sufficient
clear room for the riders.
In some places the road over which the
race was run was lightning fast. Twenty
six men rode under the record of last year,
which was 25 min. SO 4-5 sec., and the fast
est time made was fully minute and a
half faster than that. 1t was a case of
"sprint" from start to finish, and those
who had not looked we'll to their training
soon acquired tired feeling which in
duced them to quit early in the ride,
whereupon they would carefully inspect
their wheels to give bystanders and pass
ing riders the impression that something
had happened to their mounts.
Though many fell by the wayside
through inability to keep the pace and
others met with punctures and other
slight accidents, still nothing sero us hap
pened to any one and eighty out of the
original 110 entrants finished the race.
E. J. Smith of the Acme Club rode into
first place from q handicap of three min
utes and his victory was so complete that
he finished riding at his ease, sitting erect,
there being no one within a hundred
yards to contest with him. But after that
they began to come in in twos and fours
and single, with sometimes as many as
ten IN one bunch, SO that the marvel is
that the judges, timers and scorers placed
them properly.
A bove the excited cheering and yelling
OF the multitude could be heard Judge

Our Lord spoke of a society which he was
going to build as house. We understand
what he means. The first thing that a house
needs is foundation. The country in which
Jesus Christ lived was much like California.
Like the wise man builded, the house was
builded on rock. He spoke ab,ut building
II on rock. He meant that the organization
should be put on certain foundation, which
should keep it together, and it is the end of
all controversy.
rock and builded his church against 1t, and
the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
We believe that Jesus Christ established in
his church an end OF controversy-a tribunal
or power to take up controversies and decide
them. In law the quiet possession of property
for q term OF years entities the possessor tn its
und1sputed possession thereafter Now, il is
curious thing that the power to end contro-
versy was in the possession of one body for
100 years, up to 800 years ago.
The Christian world acknowledged that that
power existed. We can find it exercised in
every country up 10 800 years ago. Surely
such possession ought TO entitle that body,
that tribunal to the power it claimed, and
that body is known as the church of Rome If
we see the necessity OF an end of controversy
the one church alone which should have the
power is the church of Rome. which claims
the right OF the court OF appeals. Other de-
nominations know their own doctrines are
huctuating.
They confess their liability to err. The Pope
is the lineal descendant of st. Peter, who was
the rock on which the church was built In
faliibility only means that wnen a decision is
handed down from the Supreme Court it is the
right decision. If God esta ablished that Su-
preme Court it is infallible, and if it is not it
is delusion and snare, and we were better
off without it.
If the Pope is the end of controversy he
must be infalliDle. There is only one society
which claims the infaiible end OF contro-
versy. 1t is the one flock and the one shep-
herd OF us all. 1t is one law, one God, one
baptism, one shepherd and one universal fold
into which all the sheep may come.

ACME CLUB CYCLISTS SET A NEW MARK 242O

The greatest roadrace ever held in Calf
fornia was conducted by the Associat ted
Cycling Clubs yesterday morning over the
ten-mile stretch from Fruitvale to Hay
wards. In point of interest, number of
riders, time made and the value OF prizes
it excelled any previous event of the kind
ever held in this State.
The day was an ideal one for cvcle-
racing. A slight sprinkle of rain Satur-
day evening had laid the dust and cleared
the atmosphere, and brisk breeze at the
backs OF the riders facilitated speed and
accounted IN measure for the remarka-
bly, fast time made.
The Associated Clubs, composed OF all
the prominent cycling clubs within a
radius of fifty miles of San Francisco,
about twenty-five in number, holds four
big roadraces annually-a 25-mile handi-
cap around the San Leandro triangle in
February, 100-mile relay around the bay
in April, 20-mile scratch around the tri-
angie in July, and 10-mile straightaway
handicap in October.
1t was this latter event which was run
yesterday, and it was the third one held
thus far. In number of entrants it ex
ceeded the two previous ones by nearly
double, and the time made was SO ex-
ceptionally fast as to border almost on the
marvellous.
Early in the morning the ferry and
railroad officials were made aware that
something great in The cycling line was
in the wind. Pilgrims on wheels from
every quarter were making FIR uitvale and
Haywaids their Mecca.
There were brawny young men and fail
dsmsels in natty bloomer costumes, all
with a set purpose in their eye. TIE elder
generation, too, seemed stimulated by the
occasion and the electric cars toward IA
vored coigns of vantage whence the race
could be viewed were jammed with en-
thusiasts of sober mien.
Thither, TOO, were Fastening vendors oil
popular wares, eager to reap brief har-
vest among the crowds of the sport-loving
public
The word had evidently been passed
around by mysterious grapevine telegraph
that some record breaking might be done.
AS 1t turned out the crowds were not dis
appointed.
Viewed as a whole the event was grand
opportunity for an outing. Every entrant
had a following. There was his own
family TO begin with and then came his
friends and his ellow-clubmen.

TO IMPROVE WESTERN RATES.

New York, Aug. 19.-There is an at
tempt being made by number Of
railroad officials to have meeting of
the executive committee of the Trunk
Lines association heidi in New York
this week, to take action on the re-
ported cutting Of westbound rates by
a number of railroads and steamship
companies. While it is claimed that
some of the lake lines are cutting
rates, there seems to be no positive
proof, or at least the railroad officials
are reluctant to make any definite
charges prior to the meeting.
For some time past there has been
more or less trouble among the rail-
roads that have line of steamers on
the lakes, and in many instances the
rates have been openly cut. 1t has,
however, been somewhat different
since the Joint Traffic association has
been in operation, and it is believed
that rates have been better kept this
year than for long time. AS the
business has been gradually growing
less the steamship and railroad COM
panies have had to meet with more
competitor for business, and the one
that gave the best terms secured the
business. On eastbound shipments
the rates are being maintained. The
business this way is very heavy and
the lake lines are getting more than
what is claimed to be their share.
The meeting will be an important
one, as the question as to whether or
not the lake lines come under the jur-
isdiction of the association will be
thoroughly discussed. Many of the
trunk lines own a line of lake steam
ers, and they are the ones that are
said to be cutting rates. 1t is charged
that the Northern Steamship company
is being used by number of lines to
further the scheme of lower rates.
The reductions are said to amount to
about 20 per cent on some classes and
% per cent on others.
