Aroueed From HE Recent Slumbers
Yesterday.
The following from the Journal Of
ysstssaay shows that Mr. Rafferty, has
awakened from . sound slumber just
ln time to 90 to sleep again:
There has been . great deal Of talk
70 the effect that J. J. Rafferty, was
when he suspended the Car
Don relay team, and q lot more talk
that he was biased in his decision.
Now, the facts are, Mr.. Rafferty,, AZ
State representative Of the National
Cycling Association. did only his mani
fest duty when he suspended the Car
son team for riding with professionals.
He would have done the same to the
Reno team II well substantiated charg-
e had been brought against it. In jus
t3eo % N. Rafferty, thsse facts must
b made public. The Sacramento
Wheelmen may act - they please in
the matter. but they must accept the
results eotailed by their action. Mr..
Ra6erty's letter to the Sacramento
team Il produced below verbatim:

Mr.. L. q. Epson. Sacramento.
Dear, 9ir:-Understanding that in
face of the facts Of my having tempo
rarity Suspended the Carson City
Wheelmen, and declaring Messrs.
Wing and Hilton professionals, that
your club intends to race the Carson
City Wheelmen on the Goth Of this
month, l hereby notify you that I, as
the representative Of the National
Cycling Association for the State of
Nevada, will certainly suspend the
Capital City Wheelmen [of Sacramen-
to] riders if Wing and Hilton race
with the Carson City Wheelmen under
any circumstances, and also if the
Carson City riders under suspension
do not place themselves in a proper
light this week, by applying to me for
a raising of the suspension, procuring
O permit for the race Of the 26th OF
this month and the proper registrat
ion of their riders.
Elsewhere in our columns will be
found an advertisement that reads
something like this: Lydia Pinkham's
Pink Pills for Pale People" Now, We
would suggest to Mr.. Rafferty, that he
peruse the advertisement, spend Qual
ter and 60 way back and sit down.
Poor old Rafferty,. It's a pity to JOSH
him SO, he's such a nice man. He'i
gentleness and power personified. IT.

and other things too numerous to men
ton. All things cnsidered, however
Mr.. Rafferty, must have been to tn
Rip VanWinkle slumbers recently ant

bear in mind that this race is for tn
chan pionship of the Pacific Coast AM
