THOSE STOCKTON CHARGES.
Full Text Of the Protest in the Relay
Race Matter.
Grounds on Which the Stockton Road
Club Asserts Its Claim to
the Trophy.

The following is the letter received by
President Ennis of the Capital City
Wheelmen explaining the grounds on
which the Stockton Road Club protests
the relay race of Sunday last.
Ennis says that the matter will be
taken up and thoroughly investigated.
He, however, has full confidence the
evidence will prove that the Sacrament
to boys rode as they always have done
AN honest race-and that they strict
ly complied with all the rules down to
| the smallest detail The protest reads:
Stockton, April 26, 1897.
To the President of the c. c. W., Sac
ramento CAL: We, the mem
bers of the Stockton Road Club, wish
| to protest against the awarding of first
position in the relay race of April 10Th
to the Capital City Wheelmen of Sac
| ramento, for the following reasons:
First-That the packet was not car
ried by each and every rider from
| Stockton to Sacramento and return.
| Second-That the trailers of the Cap
ital City Wheelmen started less than
thirty seconds after the departure of
the riders they were to trail, thus vio-
lating the rules of the contest as laid
down by Weinstock, Lubin & Co.
Third-That the riders for the Capt.
tai City Wheelmen accepted pace max
ing, again violating the rules.
| We therefore claim that the posses
sion Of the cup for the following year
shall be given to the Stockton Road
Club, whose team finished second to
the Capital City Wheelmen. Respect
fully submitted.
| STOCKTON ROAD CLUB,
Per J. S. Seybold, President.
H. w. Spur, Secretary.
A STOCKTON VIEW.
Referring to the protest the Stockton
| INDEPENDENT has this to say:
The procedure of the protest is ia
ken under the following rule:
All protests shall be referred to a
committee to consist of one member
from each competing club and one dis
| interested person, to be chosen by
| them
THE deciding committee will there
| fore consist of five men, and as the
riders Of the Road Club were the only
ones who carried the package through
under the rule quoted it must seem
that the cup must be awarded to it,
There was some talk last night of the
race being ridden over again and even
| that sort of a decision would not be
unwelcome to the boys who partici-
| pated in the race.
''Of course, it is pointed out, in a COM
mittee of this kind, Stockton would
have decided advantage If there was
any tendencyowhatever to be unfair,
as Sacramento would have but one
member on the committee, while Stock
ton would have three not counting the
fifth member to be chosen by the four
appointees."

These are pertinent questions and
we'll worthy of serious consideration,
when we reflect that this dread disease
may at any moment invade the United
States. In 1891 Kitasato, an eminent
japanese bacterlologist, went to Hong
Kong to investigate the cause of the
plague which was then raging there. In

the name of the disease, indicates its
influence upon the iymphatic glands.
The intense imitation of these glands is
one of the prominent symptoms of the
sickness. The glands are located In the
armpits, thorax, groin, neck and :ablo-

The sort Of savagery that went with
this custom may be inferred from a
startling fact in the early history of the
colony of New Zealand. The chiefs
learned that elahorately tattooed heads
brought a price from collectors for the
British Museum and other European
museums of anthropology. Never un-
til then had Maori slaves been tattooed; /;
but now the chiefs had slaves decora,

order that they might cut Off their
heads and sell them to the European
collectors.
