Silver King
Bicycles, S27 so.

More of the Silver King Bicy-
cles at S27 5o-the first lot went so
fast that we were only able to
make a passing mention of the
wheels. More in stock now, and
those who have been waiting can
supply their wants.
The Silver King is not the best
bicycle made-it is not as good as
the best, for that matter-but it is
graceful in design, strong in con-
structlon and easy running-a
thoroughly good wheel that has
not many superiors in workman
ship and finish. Fitted with Silver
klng bearings, which are conced-
ed to be the best made.
1t is the new 1903 wheel, the
SIS Silver King of 1907 with 1903
improvements, that we are offering
for So SO.
How do we do it? Easy enough.
The manufacturer makes wheels
OF one size only, and has Topped off
all other unnecessary expendi-
lures. We buy in large quantities
and sell at little profit. The result
is the offering of this thoroughly
good wheel-for either men or
women-at such low price. You
should see it, if you have any in
tention OF purchasing a bicycle.

it IS the best value ever offered in

PUGILISTIC MATTERS

On the night of Thursday Bob Thompson
and Billy Lynch will meet for twenty
round 20 in the Turner hall on South Main
street. In addition to the principal event
there will be two good prelminaries. The
first will be between Jack Burkhardt OF
Los Angeles 2ud Ed. Green of Boston for
ten rounds. Kid Gallagher and Joe Down.
ing, a couple of bantams of this city, will
box for four rounds.
The record of Thompson is well known
to local ring followers, but that Of Lynch
is not so familiar. Lynch fought a draw
with Shadow Maher in nine rounds, and
also had an e.ght-round draw with Purcell.
He whipped Jack Shepherd IN six rounds
and Billy Patterson In twenty rounds.
Lynch has fought with Billy Griffin, Bob
Carroll, Jack Harding, and he and Thomp-
son had a six-round draw about three
years ago. Lynch stands about five feet
ten and half inches and has the advan-
tage of Thompson in both height and reach.
Both men are to weigh in at lao pounds at
the ring side. This is heavier than Thomp-
sons ordinary fighting weight.
Eastern papers report that Jeffries and
Maher are matched, but Jeffries denies
the story. He says that his hands are in
bad shape and that he will do no work for
three or four months. He realizes that
with weak hands he would be greatly
handicapped in fight and that his great
strength would be of little use for agrees
sive work.
Solly Smith and George Dixon have been
matched again. They are to fight twenty
rounds on June 9Th before Tom O'Rourke' s
new club In New York. They are to weigh
in at 122 pounds. Smith wanted TO make it
lis pounds.

PATRIOTISM
How One Pomona Minister Defined
It Yesterday

POMONA, May 22-Announcements were
made today in the churches with regard
to the collection being taken up for COM
pany D, and an appeal was made in behalf
of this noble cause. One minister stated
that Pomona had lots of curbstone patriot
ism, but that he would like to see less work
with the mouth and a little more use made
of the pocketbook just now. A little over
500 had been collected up to last night.
The following delegates from Pomona
will attend the state convention of the w.
c. T. U. at Pasadena on May 31st: Local
president, Mrs. J. e. McComas; state SUI
perintendent Mrs. s. G. w. Bowen, and
Mesdames C. A. Loud, A. Steadman, Mary
C. Gregg, c. 1. Lorbeer. J. A. Ransford and
Ella Poston.
Hay is being shipped into town at a lively
rate from Arizona. About three cars q day
were received last week.
The Southern Pacific has hauled about
300 cars of oranges out of Pomona so far
this season.
The Southern Pacifc's right of way is
being fenced in between Pomona and On
tario. This will spoil very fine bicycle
track between these two cities.
A local lodge of the ladies' branch Of the
Fraternaf Brotherhood is soon to be in
stalled here. There is already flourish
ing gentlemen's lodge in Pomona.

HARE AND HOUNDS

There was one Of the largest crowds of
the season at Agricultural park yesterday,
and an especially good lot Of dogs in the
field. Nearly all the favorites were entered,
and In most cases the hares were good and
made long courses.

walking, performing many wonderful feats
In mid-air.

al. Of the new dogs, except Fleetwood and

ise whose splendid work has attracted con-
siderable attention both here and in San
Francisco. Mr.. Winston has made himself
conspicuous s.ncc the very beginning of
coursing here by his entire absence from
Kicking on any matter, and consequently
has a good many friends.
The most exciting race OF the day was
the course between Oriental and Orpheum-
Lass, the latter dog beating the favorite.
THIS is the first time that Oriental has not
made a. winning. There was another sur
prise when Dan c beat Kitty Scott. This,
however, was solely matter of chance, as

mouth.

COPPER RIVER FAKE
Discouraging Reports Of this Dread
Country

SAN DIEGO, May 22.-In a letter re-
ceived here yesterday written by Philos
Tyler, a resident of this city, dated March
20, ten miles above Glacier, Copper rvier,
Alaska, the writer says: "There are now,
seventy-five men on the trail above the
rapids, and some 200 below, all moving for
ward day by day, but none of them seem to
have any objective point and none know
of any authentic finds, yet are in a huge
rush after the unknown. There are over
1000 people camped at Valdes arm at the
foot of the glacier now and some of them
have been there since October, yet not one
man has succeeded in crossing up to date
In another month 1t will be impossible to
come up the river in boats, and then no
one can get through the rapids until near
the month of September when the water
falls for about month. But do want to
tell the world that any proposition to take
party even five miles up the Copper river
in schooner is fake. The thing cannot
be done and the man who says he can do
it lies. The only possible way would be an
Al launch, either steam or electric, with
an average speed of ten knots and draw
ing less than two feet of water. I known
there are many schemes afoot to land peo-
pie miles up the river. but If the captains
attempting this are not extra careful they
will be rewarded by being the guests of a
few necktie parties"
