ARMY AND NAVY COMMISSION
WHAT 1T rs DOING FOR THE
BOYS IN BLUE.
Yesterdays Patriotic Meeting by
the Young Mems Christian
Association.

The patriotic meeting held in the
rooms Of the Young Mems Christian
Association yesterday drew out a large
audience The object of the meeting
was TO acquaint the public with the
aims and practical working of the
Army and Navy Christian Commission
of California
The meeting was called TO order by
the associations Secretary, after which
an eloquent prayer was offered by j. H.
Lawrence, President Of the Sacramento
County Christian Endeavor Society.
The Y. NJ. G. A. quartet, composed of
Messrs. Fechter, McIntire, Gustafson
and Davis, sang THE Star Spangled
Banner" in a very effective manner,
and later on rendered other selections
appropriate to the occasion. The sing
ing of Mrs. Clinch-Lester was also thor
oughly appreciated.
Howard Marsh of San Francisco a
prominent member of the Army and
Navy Christian Commission, defined
the society in a brief address. The or
ganiZation was in existence at the time
of the civil war; but was not at that
time an auxiliary of the Young Mems
Christian Association, though many
prominent members of the latter organ
ization We're interested in it's success.
The primary object of the Commission
is to keep soldiers out of saloons and
camp sutleries, and to induce them to
write home to their parents or friends.
With that aim in view the organiZa-
ton asked for and was granted permis-
sion by the Government to set up large
tents at every camp and supply the
same with tables pens, ink, paper, en-
velOpes and a generous supply of ice
water. General invitations are extend
ed to all soldiers to take advantage of
the facilities offered, and all the tents
set up have been and are being Well
patroniZed
The Army and Navy Christian Com
mission, Mr.. Marsh said, has tents
wherever there are American soldiers,
one of the largest and best equipped be-
ing at the Philippine Islands.
Howard McIntire spoke briefly, TAX
ing for his subject What the Commits
sion Is Doing for the Boys in Blue" He
explained that the Commission differs
from the Red Cross Society in that it
begins with the soldier as soon as he
reaches camp, whereas the Red Cross
only takes him up after he has been
landed in a hospital.
Rev. w. S. Hoskinson delivered an
address for young men, in which he
urged them to rise to the level Of their
opportunities and strive for the great
est goal within their reach, and thus
mark out their own destiny.
A collection was taken up for the
benefit Of the Christian Commission
work, to which the audience responded
literally and after singing America"
the meeting was dismissed.
On Friday evening next the Young
Peoples Society Of Christian Endeavor
Of the Lutheran Churches Of this city
will give a social in the rooms of the

western Sports" Of San Francisco,
quite an ideal paper for genteel sports
and games, is very complimentary to
the Capital City Wheelmen and Sac
ramento generally because of the cycle
meet held on the 4th inst and the hos
pitable manner in which visitors We're
treated and the neatnesS with which
the meet was conducted. All which
gratifies the Capital City Wheelmen-
because it is evidence of appreciation
of their endeavor.
Interest in the wheelways about Sac
ramento must not be permitted TO de-
cline. The two-mile stretch from
Thirty-firs street and the Stockton
road has been laid out by the Super
visors along the new macadam road.
But that is all. 1t needs grading and
surfacing with decomposed granite or
trap rock dust. But where is the
money to come from? The Capital
City Wheelmen's Wheelway Committee
under the competent direction Of Chair
man Bennet is willing and able to do
the work, but the means are not at
hand. A paltry $50 would do the whole
work nicely. The Folsom wheelway is
wearing badly, hardpan and stones are
appearing, vegetable encroachments
need to be removed and several
stretches should have granitized renew
al. But the committees means forbid
the work that would make the path
ideal and insure its good condition all
next winter. 1t is simply incomprehen-
sible why, with 1,500 cyclists in the
city, 800 wheel badges cannot be sold
at 81 each. If cyclists would take the
badges there would be money enough
