THOMAS THE WINNER
California Cycling Clubs Road
Race at San Leandro
Yesterday.
White Beat Birdsall and Johnson for
the Honor of Fastest
Time.

The California Cycling Club held bi 2
road race over the San LeandTo- Haywards
course yesterday morning. 1t was won
by w. Thonas, who. with one-minute
handicap. covered the fVe-mile course In
II min. So sec. Thomas II. White, who
rode from the 15.sscond mark, made the
fastest time, PA
The day was good for racing, the
weather not being too warm. The road
was in fair condition, though somewhat t
rough in places. The lace was remark
able in that but one OF the twenty-five
original entrants failed to start, and every
one of the starters finished-one or two
on disabled wheels, it is true from falls
or punctures sustained on the route,
but they all crossed the tape sooner or
later just the same.
The capturing of time prize by White
was something in the nature of a surprise
to many, as it was thought thattbis honor
would fall to Birdsall or Johnson, the
scratch men.
The following table tells the tale:

The crowning feature of the camp-meei-

ing, when Captain Quasi was publicly
welded to Captain Anna White at the pa
vilion at Trestle Glen. In order 10 help
the expenses of the camp small fee was
charged for admission, but it could hardly

some fine speakers on the ground, and
Major Brengle of New York is very in

also on hand, and Major Wlncheii is

"aii the world loves lover" and Saliva

when the ceremony reached that portion
where the blushlng groom is at liberty to
kiss the bride every body cheered. Major
Mcintyre performed the ceremony and
the music was supplied in generous vol

There is one great improvement that
Salvationists have learned since last year.
1t is no longer with fear and trem bin &
that visitor approaches the restaurant
tent. In former years there has evidently
been an idea that the preponderance OF
spirituality atoned in measure for lack
of fulln-ss on the bill OF fare. This is not
so this year, ana Adjutant Sam Ward, who
is in charge of the commiSsary depart
ment, is proving model officer.

FOR A FIRE ALARM.
Proposition to Construct One In Berke-
ley Will Be Discussed by the
Trustees Tonight.

BERKELEY, CAL, July 25.-The ques-
ton of constructing tire-alarm system III
Berkeley will come up again for discus
sion at the meeting of the Town Board to-
morrow evening. A San Francisco cleo
trio company offers to put in complete
system reaching to all parts OF the town
for $4,000. The idea of spending such a
sum of money for the purpose named does
not meet with the approval of the general
population, because of the lack OF service
it would afford when the supply OF water is
taken into consideration.
In discussing the plan this afternoon
President Richards OF the board said:
"There are so lew plugs in town and such
a poor supply of water that it would be
Extravaganza ce on the part of the Trustees
to spend the proposed $4,000 on an alarm
system. What ought to be done first is to
these things later. II l am not mistaken

EXCITING CRICKET GAME.
Alameda Defeats the Pacific Players
by just Nine Runs.

Yesterdays cricket match at Alameda
between the Pacific and Alameda teams
was quite the mot interesting of the sea-
son to date. The Pacfics, who went in
first, were minus several of their regular
men, but in spite of this put up the very
respectable total of 131, Sewel, Cassidy
and Myers being the largest contributors.
That their opponents managed to TOP
this score by nine runs is due to the ex-
cellent batting of their caotain, R. B.
Hogue, seconded by Moriarty and the
oid-time cricketer. Spiro.
1t was a most interesting game and
toward its close a really exciting contest
though the bowling and fielding were gen.

Rockland, Me-, Nov. 1.-The city gov
eminent had quite q stormy session
tonight. Mayor Butler made a state
ment that City Treasurer E. A. Jones
had refused to honor his order fol
$4,000. The money was in part payment
of the new city building now in pro-
cess of construction. Mr.. Jones claims
that the contract is illegal as it in
creases the city debt beyond the con-
stitutional limitation. The committee
of the city government which made the
contract claim it is perfectly legal.
An opinion was rendered by City Soil
citor Kimball saying that City Treas
urer Jones can legally pay over the
$4,000 and should do SO. A special meet
ing of the city government is called
for Thursday evening at which the city
treasurer will be invited to present his

New York, Nov. 2.-Tammany's
victory in the first municipal cleo
ton in Greater New York is
a sweeping one. The only question
remaining to be settled at II o'clock is
the one of plurality by which the en-
tire ticker headed by Robert A. Van

pality. 1t can scarcely less than 10000
and may be larger than that
Van Wyck has pOlled a vote which
falls possibly 10000 under the combined
vote of Gen. Tracy. Rep, and Low.
Citizens Union.
The total number of votes cast was
not far either way from $780, 900. The
indications are that Van Wyck receiv-
ed 100000; Low $4,000; Tracy, 100, 900:
and George, $1,000. The aggregate is
swelled by a few thousand votes cast
