very grateful, say the officers. Rev.

1t was worth a trip to the Park to see
the children enjoy themselves. They
were fully imbued with the spirit of the
occasion, and gave no cause for COM
plant of any moment. OF accidents
there were few. One boy got a lump on
his head that will last him a day or so
from the blow of a baseball, but the
injury is not serious. One little girl was
hit in the face by a swing. and one was
run over by buggy, but in neither case
was the injury more than slight.
AS for the people present, no city could
assemble a finer body. They were from
the very best homes of Sacramento,
and represented the best elements of So
ciety. The interest they all took in the
festival too, was of an order to make one
think vastly better of human nature.
So, all in all, the Children's May Fes-
tival was a great success. If a big pile
of money was not made, a great good
work was done in bringing so many
people into hearty cooperation with the
n
ciety.
c. c. w. RACES.
Perhaps the event of the day that
had more attention than any other was
the bicycle races by the racing sec
ton of the Capital City Wheelmen, I'M
der the capable direction of Captain
Shaw, than whom a better or more
amiable manager is not to be found.
The teams did just as good work as
if they had been going for the largest
prizes permissible under the rules. for
it must be known that the ethics of
cycling forbid any rider to wheel for
money, or under a bet, or any sort of
wager. He may go for prizes, but they
must not exceed $50 in value, and med
ais and glory are esteemed their high
est reward.
Hundreds of people who had never
seen a bicycle race before saw some
splendid ones yesterday, and they were
SO pleased with their spirit, cIeanli-
ness and the fine code that governs
them that they were open in saying
they would not willingly miss seeing
those that may hereafter be given here.
1t was a case of human muscle and
man intelligence, gentility and upright
ness, lifting an athletic sport to its
proper level and making the contests
far superior to those in which dumb
brutes engage under the whip and spur
of man.
The track is 200 feet over three
fourths of a mile-a fiat roadway quite
heavy, crossed by rail tracks. by roads
and paths, and with four sharp turns
that are not banked up at all Riders
will understand what all that means.
Yet on such a track splendid time was
made-indeed, under all the circum-
stances remarkable time. The Judges
