He denies that the Oakland system of inspec- tion is inferior to that which has troubled the milkmen here. . Dr. Tom Carpenter, who performs the veterinary work for Alameda and who has been one of the leading men in perfecting that city's thorough system, admits that stations for the daily inspection of milk that comes to San Francisco is of very great importance. He agrees with In- spector Dockery entirely. In Alameda, he said, there is not so much need of the stations, for with only twenty-five or thirty dairies to watch the | inspectors can get along better without the | stations than in San Francisco, where | there are more than 600 dealers. He | shows that by the Alameda system a close watch is kept of everybody connected with | tne dairies. Men affected with tubercu- | Josis are not permitted to take care of the i cows, and strict precautions are taken | where there is a case of typhoid fever or of | any contagious or infectious disease in the | vicinity of a dairy. The milk ordinance recently adopted by | the San Francisco Board of Health is re- ‘ garded as the most elaborate in existence, its provisions being based on the experi- | ence of nearly all the large American cities.

The woes of men who own cows began with the discovery of the tuberculos cerms—in the milk. People who had been uncomplaining customers all their lives then began to clamor for less germs and more milk. Typhoid fever was_also found using the milkman’s cart to get about, and it became fashionable for cities to employ milk inspectors. At length, San Francisco adopted the prevalent cus- tom and Mr. Dockery began his famous crusade. It is well known that if a man smokes tobacco while milking a cow, the odor of the tobacco may be detected in the milk upon delivery to the city consumers—even several days after the use of the tobacco. a That has been discovered since the milk- | maids went away. Milk becomes tainted as readily as a clergyman’s reputation, however slight the cause, and so the health officers insist that the food liquid . Dockery amd Dr. Creely go out among the ranches in the performance of their duties. Thney order improvements in sanitary conditions, and they have sug- gested, here and there, that an nvalid cow should be given a chance to retire and die. Naturally a cow likes to appear neat. s wild state, too, it prefers to avoid tuberculosis as much as possible, and it never been known to voluntarily pro- duce adniterated milk. All the evils con- ted with the milk business find their 1 not in the cow but in tne owner of cow. ) Mr. Dockery has bought an outfit to take pictures of the dairies, and if dairy- men refuse to comply with the suggestious for sanitary improvements the patrons will have an opportunity to see just how things look at the homes of the herds. This is the most advanced step that bas nec \d it is believed that Mr. Dockery will rest until he has brought the cathode ray to bear on his milk investigations. Mr. Dockery and the inspectors on the eastern shore of the bay have become en- gazed in a sort of gentle rivalry in con- nec with their duties, and the mills- e no way of checking the enthusi- men asm.

The cleanliness of milk-wagons and cans is the subject of the ninth section, with a regulation that no unwholesome matter shall at any time be placed in the cans or Then there are provisions regarding the milk inspegtions. Dairymen are required to notify the Health Board of any condition that they may discover on their premises tending to make milk impure. Another regulation is in the following form: Section 16. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent or prohibit the use, sale or manufacture of what is known as con- densed milk or what is known as buttermilk or what is known as sour milk; provided the same are made, compounded or prepared from pure, clean, fresh, wholesome and unadulter- ated 1milk within the meaning of this order, and are in sound and wholesome condition; and provided also, that in the case of con- densed milk the proportion of milk solids shall be equivalent to twelve (12) per centum of milk solids in crude milk, and that of such solids twenty-six and one-half’ (26}5) per centum shall be fat. The penalty for violation of the ordi- nance is a fine of from $25 to $500 or of im- prisonment from ten to 100 days. CHELINT'S CHICKENS. Tom Keenan Arrested for Stealing Them and John Mulligan Is Wanted by the Police. . Tom Keenan, a petty larceny thief, was booked at the City Prison last night by Detectives Dillon and Crockett and Police- man E. J. Thompson on the charge of grand larceny, and the officers are still looking for his companion, John Mulligan. On the day before last Thanksgiving ovanni “Chelin1 of Chelini, Son & Co., Sixth street, was delivering some turkevs at a customer’s house, and left his hors: and wagon for a few minctes. There was a crate of chickens in the wagon, valued at $75, and when he came-out of the house the rig had disappeared. Chelini went” to his other store, on Fol- som street, near Seventh, and while ther; Keenan and Mulligan drove past with the Chelini started off in pursuit and overtook them. A fight ensued, which was ended by Keenan throwing out the crate of chickens and driving off. Next day the horse and wagon were found in a stable on Pine street. Since then Keenan and Mulligan have kept away from their usual haunts, but Keenan ventured out vesterday and was caught by Policeman Thompson. ———— Stop, Thiefl! top a small malady, which is stealing your strength, before it OULTURNS YOUF POWer L0 Arrest it, and recover what It took from you.

Bird- * sall for the California Cycling Club in 25:57 I-5. There are some wonderful creations in racing suits and blanket wraps seen at the cycle show at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. Time was in the history of racing when a rider considered that a pair of black tights and a black jersey were the only proper articles of apparel to race in; but the taste for color finally vredominated and now one sees the riders arrayed in suits reore- senting all the varied hues of the rainbow and many tints blended. The different clubs have all adopted dis- tinctive suits, which their racing men wear, and this 1s found quite desirable for the spectators and officials, as it enables them to tell the club a man is riding for, and answers the same purposes as the numerous club emblems one sees ana recognizes in the park and on the roads. Most of these club racing suits are made in two colors, being the shades adopted by the various organizations. The Olympic Ciub Wheelmen used red and white, the Imperials white and purple, the Bay City Wheelmen blue and white, the California Cycling Club orange and olive green, the Alameda Cyclers orange and black, the Garden City Cyclers purple and gold, and so on ad infinitum. Butit is in the selection of blanket wraps, in which the men encase themselves while awaiting their time to appearon the track, that the greatest and sometimes the most startling tastes are displayed. For in- stance the pale, blue robe that Griffiths, the handsome Bay City flyer,.comes forth Jin, is a wonderful creation from Honolulu with a strange white design embroidered in silk that some think is a butterfly, others a dragon, and which no one really understands. T. S. Hall of the same club has one in red which was evidently the handiwork of some fair admirer. Ed- wards, the pride of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, appears wrapped in a long white aff which completely covers him. Charley Bates, than whom the Reliance wheelmen think there is no better amateur | | on the coast, wears one of red and black which is a wonder. And so it is with all the men, for there is no limit to the colors, styles and make-up. The crowd at the races last night was fully as large and as interested as at any of the previous meetings. The mile han- dicap Tace was a splendid event, but it was the five-mile militaryrelay and the ten-mile club race which attracted the people, and they stayed until the last event had been run. ‘World’s records are being broken with such regularity at the track now thatit has ceased to create much wonderment when one is lowered. Three went to rieces last night before the game had been going on fifteen minutes. KEdwards of the Olympics went out for the quarter-mile flying start unpaced record, and brought | 1t down from :293-5 to :291-5. His time | for the eighth was :14 4-5. | In tbe first neat of the mile handicap | Wells was given a difficult undertaki having to ride from scratch and overtak men 100 yards ahead of him. He failed to | do it, but in the effort brought the mile | izdoor record down to 2: the half-mile in 1:044-5, making a new world’s indoor record for that distance. J. C. Willian:son captured the first heat of the mile handicap in 2:102-5 from 75 yards. The next heat went to F. L. Day of the Bay City Wheelmen in 2:15 2-5 from 65 yards. N. Ackerman of the San Fran- cisco Roaa ‘Club, with 65 yards start, won the third heat in 2:12. B.J. Raynaud of the Ba(% Citys took the fourth in 2:174-5 from 100 yards. P. R. Mott of the Re- liance carried off all the honors in the next, winning easily from 50 yards in 2:17 1-5. Leavitt of the San Francisco Road Club fell in this heat, but as usual escaped without injury. The track has been proven perfectly safe, there is hardly an average otpone fall a night, and when a man does go down he only slides along pretty the smooth boards, gets his racing suit dirty, and 1t is all over. _P. M. Lefevre, Acme flom 65 yards in time was made by the winner of the sev- enth heat, Russell Cushing of the Garden City Cyeclers, who had 60 yards handicap. Languetin, Bay City, barely won theeighth heat, he was so closely pressed by Boyden of the Reliance Club. His time was 2:18 from 70 vards. Another Bay City man, A. L. Holling, took the ninth heat from 90 yards in 2:2 It was a pretty finish between him and Lnn(ier of the Imperials. Metcalf held up the Imperial honors by winning the next heat in 2:21 3-5 from 65 yards after a well- contested race. C. M. Smith, Garden City Cyclers, won the eleventh heat from 60 yards, his time being 2:20 3-5. Frank W. Byrne, the Imperial crack, was looked upon as a sure winner of the twelfth heat, but his chain slipped at the start and he was obliged to give it up. F. R. Thiel, San Francisco Road Clup, won the heat in 2:12, with the aid of 95 yards handicap. 3 Ed Chapman, Olympic, won the thir- teenth heat quite handily in 2:13 from eighty yards. Tantau, another Olympic, who is very popular with the audiences, was the virtual scratch man in the next and last heat, having forty-five yards han- dicap. F. M. Byrne, Imperial, wasallowed to sfart in the heat, bowever, on acconnt of his unavoidable accident in the twelfth. He was fifteen yards behind Tantau, but both soon caught up with the leaders. In the final spurt for home Tantau had things all his own way, Byrne being a bad last. He is evidently very much out of his nsual condition. Tantau’s time was2:16. Noth- ing could be heard but the Olvmpic Club yell when Tantau came in the victer. Announcer Knapp then stated that there would be an intermission, during which the gate prize would be drawn for and the audience would also be given an oppor- tunity to inspect the various exhibits. The number winning the gate prize, a high-grade bicycle, was 11,507. The lucky holder of the ticket was G. D. Clark of this City. After the intermission the first of the four semi-finals ol the one-mile handicap were run. Those who had qualified in their heats were Day, Bay City; Mott, Re- liance, Cushing, Garden City; Ackerman San Francisco Road Club, and J. C. W liamson, Santa Rosa. They were soon bunched and the five men came rushing for the tape on the last lap, the most who have been in at tie finish thus far during the meet. Ackerman won in 2:21 from 65 yards, Williamson second. Mott made a good ride, but was too tired at the finish to sprint. Oscar Osen tried for the quarter-mile record between this and the next heat, but 20 4-5 seconds was the best he could do, which is not as fast as the existing record. Egan and Jaegling, Imperial Clab, then tried for the indoor tandem record for a quarter, and covered the distance in 29 seconds flat, another world’s record. In the second semi-final Rayvnaud, Bay City, Lefevre, Acme, and Metcalf, Impe- rial, contested. Metcalf had things pretty easy on the last lap, though the others fought him all the before that, His handicap was 65 yards; time 2:27. Ray- naud second. The third had for starters E. Languetin of the Bay City, Thiel of the San Fran- cisco Road Club and Chapman of the Olympic. The latter fell on the last lap, but immediately jumped to his feet, un- hurt. Languetin won in 2:254-5 from 70 yards. ® The starters in the fourth were Holiing of the Bay City, Smith of theGarden City and Tantan of the Olympic. The latter made a splendid ride the entire distance and won as he pleased in 2:19 3-5 from 45 yards. Before the final healt of the mile handi- cap was run the ten-mile cup race was started, the entrants being F. L. Thiel for the San Francisco Road Club, C. Birdsall for the California Cycling Cinb and W. T. Pratt for the Alameda Cyclers. They cov- ered the first mile in 2:411-5; two, 5:13 9; five, 19 18:06; 2 on the livened perceptibly, nine miles reached in 23:29 4-5. 54; eight, pace being Then the ride for 2.5, covering | home commenced at a terrific gait. Pratt | world. 3; | yesterday from the Ea T jumped out on the eighth lap, with Thiel close up. Pratt did ot last long, however, and Birdsall came up from behind and %qve battle to Thiel. Lo a hot finish irdsall won out, and there was great joy among the Californians. It was their first big winning of the tournament, and their delight was unbounded. The time for the ten miles was 25:57 1-5. p Then came the final of the one mile handicap, those who had qualified in the semi-final heats being: Ackerman, San Francisco Road Club, 65 yards; Metcalf, Imperial, 65; Languetin, Bay City, 70, and Tantsu, Olympic, 45. All went well until the sixth lap, when Tantau, Langue- tin_and Metcalf collided—caused by Met- talf, the other tgo said. Ackerman es- caped the mix-up and went on riding, winning in 2:17. Tantau and Metcalf re- mounted, the latter having the best of it %nd winning second place. Nobody was urt. a foul, but his clubmates of the Bay City ‘Wheelmen dissuaded him. £ The last event was the five-mile mili- tary, the contestants being riders from the Presidio picked from the infantry and cavalry. The riders of the first relay were named Schurr and Flick, They were not well matched, and the former gained a lap on his opponent in the first mile. Euberts and Barkley came next, and on the third Kilty and Fernandez. Blinn and Donnelly rode out the fourth and Smither and "Ziegler the fifth. The men carried a sealed message sent to General Grabam, commandant at the Presidio,who was present with his entire staff. The prizes were a high-grade bicycle to the side delivering the message first and another prize to the soldier making the fastest mile. The race was very exciting up to the finish and the resnlt in doubt up to the last. Blann and Donnelly made the best ride on the fourth relay, covering the mile in 3:07 ana 3:07 1-5 respectively. Another close finish resuited on the fiith between Smither and Ziegler. It wasan interesting race, though the time made was slow. The fastest time was 2:48, made by Kelter on the third relay. The mes- sage was duly handed to General Graham at the finish, who congratulated the men on their clever performance. SUMMARY : One mile, handicap—First heat: J. C. liamson, 75 yards, Santa Rosa.

This evening one of the races, for which several of the men have been holding back, will be run—a hali-mile handicap. Thereare lots of good men who can cover a half in good time who cannot last for a full mile, and this race will give them a chance to try conclusions against each other. The entry list for this race is the lareest of any event during the tournament. There will also be a mile 1nvitation race from scratch and the last trial heat of the ten-mile club race. These three events should make a long and exceedingly interesting pro- | gramme. Griffiths and Tantan will also run off their ten-mile tie of last Friday night in a five-mile race for a special prize. The management has extended the use of the Pavilion and track to the California Associated Cycling Clubs for Thursday evening, and races will be run that even- ing under the association’s auspices. En- try blanks will be sent out to-day and lib- eral prizes will be offered. As the associ- ation is composed of the twenty-three grincipnl eycling clubs of this part of the tate, and they will all enter their best men, many a hot finish can be looked for, i and the meet will be as interesting as any | evening’s entertainment of the present tournament.

Knox, Mechanic at Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo, Cal., Tells of His Cure by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. It Cured Him After All Eise Had Failed. THERE are hundreds of people in California s\xffering daily tortures and annoyances on account of some Rheumatic af- fliction. They moan and suffer, and take pills and put plasters on their backs, and get no relief, and they must eventually do as Mr. Knox has done—they mus$ use Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. This Belt is now well known to every sufferer as the most com- plete, the most scientific, the nearest perfect Electric Belt made to-day, but many hesitate about using it owing to skepti- cism caused by the failure of other remedies to do. good. Mr. Knox was skeptical, but see what he says now : S 5 VALLEJO, Cal., January 22, 1896, DR. SANDEN:—When I got your Belt three months ago I had been suffering for two years from Sciatica. Had pains in legs and knees. I was not incapacitated irom my work, but it was terribly annoying. I had tried other remedies, of course, but fonnd nothing of any use till I got the Belt. In six or eight days after applying the Belt the pains had left me, and have not come back since. I have continued using the Bela and am generally benefited by it. I have twice as good an appetite as before, an really feel better than I have Tor twenty years. I ain 62 years old. JOHN K. KNOX, Vallejo, Cal.
