all known attachments for the comfort of
members, including parlors, billiard and
pool room, spacious training, rubbing and
bath rooms, wheel repair shop and large
assembly room with stage. An ample ve-
rands extending across the front and
down one side will be particularly appre-
ciated.. The new house is expected to be
ready for occupancy on or about May 1st,
when it will be warmed flttingly. The
present club house of the East Side boys is
being remodeled, and although still too
small will make very cosy headquarters
for the next two months.
The century run of the East Side Cycling
club is now ancient history, but it is still

BLACKMAlLING SLEUTHS
A Class All Too Numerous in This City,
The Remedy
Several Cases Now Under Investigation, but
Difficulty Is Encountered In Procuring
Testimony-chief Glass OH the natter

Apropos the recent arrest of Hank
Coyne and the large amount of publicity
given to the exposures of peculiar tactics
Oh the part of a certain class of so-called
private detectives, great deal of COM
ment has been aroused. Chief of Police
Glass yesterday expressed himself very
forcbly as regards these alleged sleuths,
who prostitute their avowed calling to the
most base uses. Numerous cases have
lately come to light of respectable men
and women who have been approached by
these fellows and either cajoied or coerced
into paying them money, ostensiby for
services rendered, but in reality as hush
money to avert the threatened publicity of
real or imaginary escapades which other
wise would be made common property.
1t is the opinion of the chief that the gen.
eral public does not discriminate closely
between these bogus detectives, for rev.
enue only, and the faithful and conscien-
tious officers to whose vigilance the safety
of our citizens lives and property is di-
rec,ly due. When man of this character
approaches q person with blacktnaling
proposition, even though the alleged story
may be grossly false, the intended victim
is generally only too glad to pay for sup
pressing it and thus avoiding the many ex-
plantations that must be made should he
make a firm stand and the blackmailer
proceed as he has threatened.
Several cases are now under investiga-
ton. but considerable difficulty has been
met in procuring the testimony of prose.
cutting witnesses, and altogether the best
way to deal with this question seems to be,
as advocated by the chief, that when such
person appears "lake shotgun and 60
for him."

SPORTING MISCELLANY

At Cedar Falls, Ia, the great pacing stall
lion Fidol, 2:O4I, died recently of gas
trits. Fidol was foaled in 1887, and was
by Backman's Idol; dam Molly Jackson
by Stonewall Jackson. At the close of the
season of 1894 his record was 2:lO. Las.
season he reduced this to 2:04I, and was
one of the best campaigning stations of
the year.
Last Wednesday the well.known jumper,
Tongwell, broke his leg while practicing,
and as a result had to be shot. This is the
third horse killed this season at the Bay
District track, the other two being The
King and Carrara.
John Il. Gentry, the famous pacing stall
lion, was recently sold to William Simp-
son of New York for $1,000. James Splan,
one of the foremost trainers in the country,
declares his belief that Gentry can go the
mile in two minutes or better.
Forty-three men prominent among turf
men as "layers of otlds'' have formed a
club in New York for the purpose of lnu-
tual protection against we!chers, and of
this number twenty-one have paid the
initiation fee of $500. The fund derived
from the membership list will be devoted
to the furnishing of CLUB rooms, where
settlements can be made, and the adoption
OF such means aswili thoroughly protect
the members from welchers. According
to one authority, the bad debts last year
aggregated 100000. A plan like the
present one was inaugurated in the spring
of 1895, but it fell through, owing 10 dis
sension among the members.
The supervisors of Sonoma county have
repealed the ordinance passed three years

use of nets for catching trout: nets for
salmon fishing of less than y. inch mesh

OF the Russian for catching steelheads are

AMONG THE WHEELMEN

The Syracuse team at Coronado are
doing fast work, but are threatened with
other troubles than an inability to chase
Father Time. H. f. McCrea, Los An
geles boy, was one of the members of the
team, but when the new order Of things
came on he was desirous of remaining an
amateur instead of being forcibly propelled
into the ranks of the professionals, as
would have followed had he remained on
the record team. He therefore expressed
a desire to GO home, and asked for his pay
Not getting it, he announced his intention
of attaching the machines of the team, but
was persuaded not to do so by r. E. Welch,
the representative OF the racing board.
Mr.. Welch will take charge of the matter,
and will see that all parties are satisfied.
1t is currently reported that the Tuttle

mia, will give up the agencv. The reason
given is that the factory is not living up to
contract in the matter of supplying
wheels, and that the trade is thereby inn
peded. The agents will send back all
wheels not yet paid for, and are discussing
the advisabilty of suing the Syracuse
Manufacturing company for breach of
contract. If carried out, this will probably
be the first time that any agent has sued
the supply house on such grounds.
now getting in shape for their turn at
records, which will begin IN less than two
weeks. The long, weary wait for pacing
machines is over, and there il
nothing between the men and records
but the finishing touches for condition.
Randall, the big man, will not be put back
on the pacing machines, but will be kept
on single, his work showing up we'll.
Dow will be used to steer the multiple ma
chine, he having shown that he can hold
the turns smoothly. Kiser, Campbell, Ed
wards and Shefski will probably be chosen
to follow the pace, and there is very little
that these men cannot get in the way of
records. For the longer distances 1t is
very likely that Hatton, the Los Angeles
boy, will be used, there being no other man
on the team who can plug steadily as he
can. All the men on the team are begin
ming to increase their gears, SO as to follow
the big 12OInch gear of The sextuplet.
Southern California will see a good many
of the crack bicycle riders this year, so
many of the makers having decided to send
their teams here to get into condition for
the national circuit. Eddie Bald, Tom
Cooper, Charley Murphy and many others
will be here early in the spring for pre-
liminary work, and as a consequence the
national circuit may begin and end in
Southern California, greatly to ths honor,
glory and profit of this section.

an amount equaling the savings OF one

157 900 miles of road in this country could
be put in condition. The effect OF this
would be permanent improvement, and
not only would the farmer be astonished
at the sudden reduction in his road tax,
but he would also wonder at the remark

ton. He would find that he required
fewer horses and less feed for them. He

ers are beginning to apply a little simple
arithmetic to some of these matters, and
it is not too much to expect that in the near
future we shall see decided revolution in
the condition of our rural highways.
The local branch of the association is
now at work on the road between this city
and Santa Monica. The members propose
to give the supervisors all object lesson as
to the building of roads, and incidentally
they will introduce the matter of economy.
There is little doubt of the complete sue
cess of this department., and their enter
prise should be applauded by horsemen
and cyclists alike.
