and 20 Seconds.
The relay cycle race between Sacra-
mento and Stockton clubs yesterday
which was won by Sacramento in five
hours and twenty minutes created
great interest. The streets in the vi
cinity Of the starting point were carry
thronged with people on foot a"heel
and in carriages. There was deaI oI
burrving to and fro among officers,
committeeman and employees Oh me
CaDital City Wheelmen, and their visit
ors from Stockton were likewise busy IN
arranging details for their teams.
At a very early hour judges, timers
and patrol judges for distant StalIohs
were on their way to their places, some
on wheels, some in bugg1es, ana some
by early trains. All the racing men
except those for the first relays went to
their stations on Saturday and rested
there overnight.
The riders of the relays were an
,ounced in the Record Union" Satur-
day, and were not varied from. Ii was
not found possible yesterday, however
to ascertain accurately the order III
which the Stockton men placed tnelr
riders. but it is believed that the FOL
lowing is a nearly correct tabulauon or
the order in which they rode. 1t IS
strictly correct as to the Sacramento
club. The relays count from f1tteenm
and K streets to Thirtieth, to Oak Park
through Oak Park to Magnolia avenue
and to the Stockton road, thence to the
city Of Stockton, and return-a distance
of 1043z miles, or three-quarters OF a
mile longer than the route Of last year.

From 1920 to II o'clock K street was
swarming with patrol Judges bearing
red flags. going to their stations 10
guard crossings and corners and lndl-
cate the way for a distance OF four
miles out, and to signal the approach or
the riders. Just before II the street
from Fifteenth to Thirtieth being
crowded with people and vehicles, the
Judges, referee and timers called the
men to the score. The wheels were
placed on the tape, the men mounted,
and at the snap of pistol by starter
Little away they went, the Terminal
City man leading, the Road Club rider
second and Hirsch last.
In a few moments the crowd scat
tered. and interest for the next four
hours and over centered about the bull
letin board of the Sunset Telephone
Company. rendered as a compliment to
the three clubs. Tt was located at the
State House Hotel, and there, from
time to time, reports Of the progress OF
the race were posted. But news could
not be had from all the stations, as
some of them were not near telephone
offices.
The first news gave the Capital Citys
satisfaction, as it showed the men
punched eight miles out with no decfd-
ed advantage for any one The next
dispatch dampened their hopes, as 1t
gave an account of Wilson's being
thrown and injured so that he would
be unable to ride his return relay,
which would compel Milne to ride a
double distance and thus imperil the
chances of the Sacramento boys. 1t
turned out later that this was not true
Wilson was thrown and badly bruised,
but recovered sufficiently to ride his
second distance, though he was badly
used up by the effort.
Exact relay time could not be ascer-
tanned last night, as the judges and
timers scattered on their return 10
town. These notes, however, indicate
the speed at various points. Hirsch
rode to the end of the first relay be-
tween II and 11:29:30 a. m, and on
the return he rode it between 3:4S:3o
and 4:20 p. m. The Terminal City man,
on the return over that relay, RODE 1t
between 3:57:15 and 4:27:20 p. m, and
the Road Club man between 4:Ol:50
and ds4:41:05 p. m.
Lille Bros. of Lodi reported the teams
passing that place in this order
going to Stockton: c. c. w. at
12:49:30, Terminals at 12:51:30, Road
Club at 1858, and the men riding easy.

These figures serve to indicate about
how the teams Travelled on both routes.
An immense concourse of people as
sem bIed at Sixteenth and K streets to
see the finish The way was crowded
from the tape clear out to Thirtieth
street, and very literally filed along the
latter street. Intense interest was man
ifested in the outcome, and when the
signal flags at last announced the COM
ing of the team cheers went up,
regardless Of who the winner was to be.
