been made by citizens residing in the

hobos who take advantage of the alb
sence of families TO sneak into houses
and carry off blankets, towels, ETC.
About 6 o'clock last evening a mes

blankets had been stolen, and that the
gang was camped beyond the levee at
Fourteenth street. Officer Butler an
swered the call and rounded up five of
the gang, who gave, the names of Geo.

John Noonan and William Bennett. 1t
was learned that three of the gang
had left the camp with the blankets.

Some towels. a shirt and a pillow

titled by a citizen from whose house
they were stolen. The gang will prob
ably be charged with vagrancy.

A trial to break coast wheel records
was made on the Oak Park three-lap
track yesterday at 1920 a. M There
was a good attendance, and the man
agement, under Referee l.. S. Upson,
was excellent.
The judges, timers, clerks, starter and
other officials We're placed, and at 1923
Jacob Hirsch, c. c. w, went, paced
by Hamlin and Eldred on tandem, fly
ing start. The send-off was made on
the back stretch for half mile to beat
Peck's record of O:57, made at Marys-
vile, May Both, this year.
There was a stout breeze from the
southwest on the backs of the riders at
the start, and over a third of the Sec
ond lap, and was a decided obstacle on
the other sections. The crowd gave
Jake" all sorts of encouragement, tim
ing the revolutions of his pedals with

revolutions of his pedals with Hi! hi.
hi" that were no small aids to speed
The tandem riding by Eldred and
Hamlin was fine. They had ridden to-
gether but two or three times, and We're
bit timid, perhaps, but it was a
strong, steady pace. On the last hun
dred yards Hirsch left the pace MAX
ers and came to the score in O:57 fiat.
Two watches of the timers showed
O:56 80 and O:5634, but the rule re-
quires the slowest to be recorded.
Hirsch's riding was elegant and bet
ter for steadying and hugging the
pacemakers' machine has never been
seen. 1t was beautiful exhibition and
ELECTED rounds of applause for the
plucky crackajack.
Immediately Harley Noyes, c. c. W.,
came on the track to go (unpaced) five
miles to beat Brereton's record-time of
1879 10, made at San Francisco, Au-
gust -, 1896. On the second Warmin g
lap he gave the word and was sent off
in stout breeze at a good easy swing
ing gait
He made the first mile in 2:3O12, and
beat the three mile record of Brereton.
TAI 10, by making it in 1872. He beat
the four mile record of Brereton, same
time and place, of 1929 %, by going
in 1000 40, and completed the five
miles in 12:34 80, the record being, as
stated, 1929 1-5, made by Brereton in
1896
Noyes was showered with compli-
ments, and his fellow members crowded
about to shake him by the hand,
though his trainer was struggling to
get his man in hand for the rub down.
1t was a fine exhibition throughout, and
created great interest
Noyes' riding was ideal in style, ease
and good judgment. His slowest lap
was the eleventh, 0:53 1-5, and his fast
