THE WHEEL

Apparently the northern wheelmen
cislon of the l.. A. w. against Sunday
racing. The cycling editor of the San
Francisco Examiner, in Saturdays is
sue, says:
"The attitude of the members Of the
League of American Wheelmen in
Northern California to the parent body is
at the present time difficult to define.
The action of the assembly in denying
cyclers the right to race on Sunday has
brought forth strong expression, both Of
approval and disapproval. That it was
pers issued just before the vote was
taken all expressed the opinion that the
right of local option would be granted.
Should major portion of the members
favor secession a chaotic condition of
affairs will result, the end of which is
difficult to foresee. 1t will without doubt
be the entering wedge which will take
from the league it's present control of
racing, thus permitting It's officers to de-
vote all their energies to the work for
good roads. The delegates from this
district to the National assembly hold
the key to the situation, and on their ac
ton depends in a great measure the flu
ture of the league on this coast 1t is
known that before they left the east they
had a conference with the executive Of
ficers of the league to induce them to
make passive opposition to the proposed
movement for Sunday racing. This
would take the form of ignoring races
held on that day; not extending to them
official sanction nor yet punishing the
riders for infringing the rules. In a
measure the league already does this in
the case of rider visiting France and
racing ON Sunday. When he returns
to this country his standing as rider is
not impaired. The action of the assem-
bly, in declining to admit professionals
to membership stamped it as being far
from liberal-minded. 1t insists on gov
erning the racing men, Furnishing them
severely for infractions CT it's rules, but
all the time holding them at arms
length as though they were unclean. The
majority of these riders are now men,
bers of the best cycling and athletic
clubs, and no question of caste or social
distinction can enter the discussion. The
professional of today and of decade
ago are very different In manners and
morals, but it is evident prejudice
against them still exists"
Although there are probably over a
thousand members of the New York
Athletic club who indulge in cycling
from every standpoint, but seventy-four

TRAP AND TRIGGER

The open season on duck and quail
closed last Monday, and many of the To-
cal nimrods have turned their atten-
ton to trap and live-bird shooting.
The live-bird contest given under the
auspices of the Los Angeles CITY Gun
club yesterday was decided success.
AS is we'll known in sporting circles, the
Los Angeles Gun club was organized
two years ago. The club holds semi
monthly shoots, but there is scarcely a
week that the grounds of the club, which
are about a mile west of Westlake park,
are not the scene Of more or less sport.
There were two events scheduled for
yesterday, the first being a close live
bird shoot for three moneys, the en-
trance fee being $3.50
Thirteen marksmen took part in the
shoot Five Observation-Disclosures. Mat

third money
But the special event of the day was
the tournament for the championship
live-brd shot of Southern California.
The prize is q gold medal, which was
given to the club by Mr. Bruner.

fair and the exhibition given by keen
eyes and firm hands rewarded those who

THE HORS

From the advance sheets of Good
wins Official Turf Guide for 1885," now
almost ready for distribution, it is
learned that $2,S51, ,2S5 was distributed in
purses and stakes alone in races decided
on American courses, and that Canada
contributed $137,537
This shows a steady increase in the
industry during the past six years, as
in 1889 the grand total for America and
Canada was $2,37S, 1872, which is a jump
of nearly half a million, Notwithstanding
the somewhat unfavorable conditions
which prevailed last season.
In the recapitulation of the number
of races run and the distances there Is
a grand total of 7,1S6 for the United
States, there having been 6,973 on the
fiat and 213 over obstacles.
There appears to be a growing incii-
nation to lessen the distance of the
races, sprinting events having become
the rule. For instance in 1889 there
were 1T races at half mile. and last
year the record shows that there were
S14 races over that distance. This is
probably accounted for by the induce
ments offered by associa tions in stakes
and purses for 2-year-olds and the in
crease in the breeding of thoroughbreds
At five furlongs there were GIT races in
1883, while there were 1,032 last year. The
siX-furlong events are the most popular.
In 1883 there were 1000 of such races,
last year the record shows 1,716 similar
events.
Compared with the records dating six
years ago, long distance races are grad
ually declining. the number from 18th
