as that, Jeffries by his magnificent ply

The past week was an exciting one FOR
the wheelmen, including as 1t did the
great cycling event of the year, the San
ta Monica road race and one of the most
sportsmanlike meets that has ever tax
en- place in Southern California. or
course, the handicapping committee
came In for any amount of abuse, and
the abusers are pointing to the result or
Saturdays race as vindication of their
complaint. No one, however. seriously
doubts the honest and best intentions OF
the committee, and the fault Of their
calculations seems rather to be, in many
instances. with the riders themselves.
If men will not make honest returns OF
their abilities in giving some idea OF the
time they have covered or can cover the
distance in, it is obvious that the task OF
the handicapping one Is an almost i'm
possible one. The whole matter is to be
thoroughly investigated, and the list of
winners may be subject to considerable
alteration. The committee will meet at
the Athletic club on Tuesday evening
and consider all protests, also investi-
eating the returns of some of the riders.
The Citrus wheelmen are to be thor
oughly congratulated for the great sue
cess they made Of their meet on Sat
urday. The program was gone through
with most commendable dispatch, the
interest being maintained throughout.
The entries were numerous and the
races closely contested. There was little
of that loafing which is so abominable
to the spectator, and which, If frequent
ly INDUCED in, will eventually kill the
sport. McCrea showed a bit of his best
form in the capture of the one-mile pro-
fessonal race. Ulbricht's performances
were very disappointing to1his many ad-
mirers. The one-mile amateur handicap
was as pretty race as any one could
well imagine.
The Athletic club has entered upon
new lease of vigor and enterprise, as
well as new premises. This week VIII
Knippenberg, the clubs captain, is to
arrange a series of athletic entertain
ments in the splendid gymnasium.
Billy Gallagher, who has been getting
into bad odor in San Francisco, Is to be
matched, IL possible, but Danny Need
ham, who was previously talked of, is
now out of the ring for himself for a time
while looking after the redouptapies
Sorbe- e-arrAnged by that Jealous knight

If all the bicycles in the world were
brought to one central point and recon-
structed into one giant machine" says
one of the leading bicycle publications,
the result would be a machine six miles
long and over four miles high, with
wheels almost three miles in diameter.
10 construct such a monster would re-
quire about $4,000, 900 cycles, and If built
in proportion of weight and thickness
the only available course over which
some Atlas might hump his back and
scorch would be on the boundless prai-
ries of the west or in the heart of the
Desert of Sahara. The average human
mind cannot well conceive of 100000
modern bicycles all thrown into one
mammoth machine, the wheels of which
have a circumference of nine miles, no
more than the travelling capacity of
such a wonderful thing could be even
remotely conceived"
There is something reasonable, says
the New York Times, in the proposition
of the Illinois Humane society to prohi-
bit by law the carrying of infants on
bicycles, but 1t Is extremely doubtful that
such a law will ever be enacted even by
versatile and illogical western legisla-
tors, who are wont to consider seriously
as subjects of legislation the kind of
things folks wear in the theater, both on
and off the stage. The society's plea
that an infant carried on swiftly NOV
ing bicycle between the saddle and the
handle bar is likely to be severely in-
jured and in case of collision or a tumble
carries conviction with it, and there is
sound common sense in the statement
that the rapid motion of the wheel is
harmful to very young children. But so
Is too much rocking in cradle apt to
quickly develop any congenital tendency
to disease of the brain, while the use of
vile opiates to quiet a crying child may
hopelessly injure it's health. Feeding
an infant meat and pastry often pro-
duces fits; candy is poison to an unde-
veloped digestive apparatus, and the
kind of garments that make the human
infant noticeably picturesque object
are frequently those least suited to pro-
tect it from cold and give it ease and
comfort. Obviously no general law can
be framed that will insure to the new
generation perfect immunity from the
ignorance, carelessness and folly of its
parents, guardians and nurses. Infants
are rarely taken out on bicycles except
with the consent Of their parents upon
whom the responsibility for their care
and training rests
