Fresno will hold meet on October II
for professionals and amateurs, if the
'pros" will ride for $50 purses. Chairman
Welch of the racing board went to Sacra-
mento yesterday afternoon, where all the
riders now are, to submit the proposition
to them. The Fresno people ought to
hold their meet on the oath, however, as
most OF the amateurs are billed for
Vallejo for the 18th, and would willingly
go TO Fresno the following week.

Cycling Club has filed a complaint with
the racing board that be has not received
the prize won by him at SAINTS Rosa re-
Gently. The matter is being Investigated.
1t seems Charley won a suit of clothes,
which was displayed in a window with
other prizes. When he went TO get he
found the suit was for man of medium
size and as the worthy scion of the house
of Bird sail is over six feet tall, there was a
discrepancy in the trouser legs and coat
sleeves that was awkward at best. A suit
of longer dimensions would cost more,
which Charles did not feel justified In put
ting up and the meel-promoters declared
they would not. The racing board has
been appealed to to adjust the difficulty.
The ARIEL Bicycle Club of Vallejo has
prepared the following programme OF

A JUSTICE REBUKED.

of Captain Charles A.
jerks Altered.

Justice of the Peace Groezinger ap-
peared in Judge Conlan's court yesterday
morning in the role of counsel for Captain
Charles A. jerks of Troop A, N. G. G.
The Justice had been asked by friends
of jerks to interest himself in his behelf,
and believing that he saw a chance to do
so effectively he startled Judge Conan by
informing him that mistake had been
made in entering the judgment rendered
against jerks.
Secretary Holbrook of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
jumped 10 his feet and forcibly objected
to the Justice appearing in the case as he
was di, qualified under the law from prac-
ticlng as an attorney and was making a.
most remarkable spectacle of himself.
You have no right to practice here
under the law, said the Judge, much
less are you qualified to pose as an OBJ
jector. Ii you represent the defendant.

The Mackenzie remained open at Fort
Wrigley during the whole of October and
closed finally at that point on the 10Th of
Novem Der. Like most Northern rivers,
the Mackenzie closes first at the Arctic
coast and the Ice backs up all the way to
Slave Lake.
The fall season was very fine last year
In the arctic. There was very little snow
until Decent Der and no really cold
weather until New Year. The climate is
exactly similar on both sides of the range
of mountains and there is no difference to
speak of in the climate of Alaska and the
Northwest. However, in places the
ground never thaws Out. They struck eter-
nal frost a foot below the moss. The
coldest weather was So below, in January.
The Indians belong to the Hare tribe of
the Slave nation and are cowardly to an
extreme degree. The Nehanines and
Secanines occupy the eastern side of the
the Yukon region.
Brediu ascertaned from the Indians
that the statement m ade by s. Pelon was
exact, j. e., that there is ommunica-
ton between the heads of the Stewart or
McMillans rivers, atfiuents of the Yukon,
ana the Feel hlVeri on the eastern Slope
of the range.
March last was very beautiful in the
arctic. April was also very mild, ami the
snow was all gone by the middle of May.
Its greatest depth has been two and
half feet. The Mackenzie opened on May
%. and the streams on the western slopes
began o run on May 25.
A great number of people from the
United States passed Bredin on their way
to the Yukon. via the Mackenzie, and they
were all reported having reached there
without mishap. Gardens are cultivated al
all the Hudson Bay posts as far north as
Fort Good Hope on the arctic circle. They
grow lettuce, radishes, spinach, celery,
cabbages, turnips. beets and potatoes.
Fhe latter do not always grow to matur-
ity. Salt from Salt River is used in all
the northern country. White fish is plen-
tiful, thev weigh about four pounds apiece,
aod over 100000 were taken out of Slave
Lake during the past season.

w. f. Bredin and party arrived on the
9th of September at Edmonton, N. w. T.,
from Fort Wrigley, near the mouth of the
Mack River, having made a survey
of this new route to the Yukon. They
left Edmonton on their journey down on
the 26th day of July, 1896, travelling over
land to Athabasca Landing in two days, a
distance of 100 miles, thence by water in
sturgeon he ad boat, 45 feet over all, IL
feet beam, costing 500. Her cargo was
about II, 900 pounds.
A guide was hired at Atha basca Land
ing to take the party through the rapids.
The story of the trip is tersely told as fol-
lows: Left Athabasca Landing on July
20. Water at a good stage. Drifted to
Grand Rapids in two and one-half days.
Portrayed boats and loads at Grand Rapids,
taking three days hard work. Portrayed
the load about 100 yards at the Cas-
cada Rapid and let the boat down with
line-all the rapids are dangerous with
out pilot. Ran from the foot of Grand
Rapids to McMurray in two and one-half
days.
"Drfted down to Lake Athabssca, but
were delayed by head winds; took the
wrong channel N entering Lake Atha-
basca and had to row and sail eighteen
miles across the lake TO Ch1pewvan; from
MeMurray to Chipewyan nine days.
"At Chipewyan had to hire new guide
to take them over the Smith rapids. Paid
him forty skins. equal TO $40 cash. From
Chipewyan to Smiths portage it took one
and a half days, drifting and sailing. At
Smith Landing hired Souzie Bouleau as
guide over the rapids. Paid him fifty
skins, equal to $25. There are three port
ages over which boats and cargoes must
be hauled, and one rapid, at which half
the cargo has to be taken out. Three and
half days were occupied passing over
the rapids. The three portages are about
half mile each, and one of them is over
rise of 100 feet. Block and tackle are
nsed TO haul the boats. Reached Fort
Resolution on September /, a little over a
month from Edmonton"

Violated a Rule of
His Glass.

Programme for the Races at Vallejo
October l7-Fresno Wants
the Racers.

Robert NJ. Welch. chairman of the track
racing COMMITTEES of the California Asso-
ciated Cycling Clubs, has declared Charles
A. Kraft of the Bay City Wheeimen pro-
fessional for violation of certain rules of
the amateur class. There is no redress
from this action save an appeal to the
board of governors, which meets next
Saturday evening in this city, and the
board will probably uphold Mr.. Welch's
position.
Some time before the Admission day
races at Santa Rosa the track-owners
there decided to hold an amateur meet,
principally to test the speed of the track,
and L. w. Burris, president of the Santa
Rosa Wheelmen, wrote and asked Kraft
to come up and ride an unpaced mile.
Kraft replied that he would do so if Bur-
ris would pay the expense of a man TO
take his place at his work, an item of 50
day, which Burris agreed to do. Kraft
went there and rode mile in 2:15, which
so pleased Burris that he asked Kraft
what his entire expenses for the trip were
and offered Kraft $40 to deiray them,
which Kraft accepted. This was direct
violation OF the amateur rules, and when
IL leaked out, as SuCn things do, Mr..
Welch had no other course but to declare
Kraft a professional, which he has Just
done.
As an amateur Charles A. Kraft was one
of the most remarkable riders in the
world. Except at unpaced work his rid
ing on the track never gained him fame,
but on the road, behind good pacing, time
after time he shattered worlds records.
He has gloriously upheld the colors of his
club twice in the annual 100-mile relay,
which he won for the Bay City Wheelmen
both times, and twice in the 20-mile assc-
citation race. In 1896 he beat all other men
III this race four minutes, and in 1897 he
placed the race to the credit of his club by
a good margin, lowering his own previous
2O-mile record. Shortly after, when E. A.
Bozlo went after Kraft's record and low
cred 1t considerably, Kraft again went at
II and that time put it down so low that it
has never been touched since, and is the
worlds record for twenty miles, 48 min
utes 56 seconds, made August Is last.
hraIts s career as a roadracer is now
ended, however, as there are no events for
professionals on the road. On the track
he should do well III handicap events and
at unpaced WORK. His loss will be sadly
