THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1896. WHY THEY KEEP THE CUP, Position Taken by the Bay City Wheelmen in the Relay Matter. PRESIDENT KERRIGAN'S REPLY He Asks for a Thorough Investigation and That H's Club bs Given Fair Play. President Frank H. Kerrigan of the Bay City Wheeimen, aiter thinking the matter over for several days and consulting with his clubmates, has formuiated a reply to those who demand that the trophy won by the organization in the recent relay race be delivered to the chairman of the road- racing and record committee of the Cali- fornia Cycling Clubs. L Percy Mills, the referee, who is a mem- ber of the Garden City Cyclers, disqualified the Bay Citys for an alleged violation of <ertain of the rules of the contest, and on this disqualification the trophy was de- manded. President Kerrigan's reply to the demand goes thoroughly into the mat- ter, and closes with the declaration that the cup will be retained by the club until the question is given a thorough investi- gation by the association. The members of the committee were mailed the following letter last evening: , 13, 1896. crsco, April ratton, H. F.

P Mills, for violation of rule 4, which “Red flags shall be placed 100 yards eac! i , and transfer of packet must take n such flags,” and requesting that cup be delivered by the Bay City Wheel- men into the custody of the chairman of your committee, I cannot refrain at this time from expressing the deep regret which I feel that your com- mittee, in considering the report of Mr. Mills, | was unable to give the club most interested & | aring in the matter. That this regret is shared universally by all lovers of fair play connected with cycling I can assure you, and it seems 10 us unquestionable that tne matter protest should be considered by your and as thoroughly as the nature ect permits. It is & serious thing. lowance or disailowance of this protest rmine the standard of sportsmanship 1e organization who control one of the u; e no doubt, therefore, that your com and the board of governors will readily ny assistance which the Bay City Wheelmen may be ble to offer them in finally determining so important & question. And that we are in & position to place your body in possession of facts not yet before it— iacts that hed invoived careful investigation upon our part and which must, without a doubt, have a determining effect upon the conclusions of the board in this matter—it is the purpose of this letter to show. The Rumbler cup is in the possession of the Bay City Wheelmen. We feel that 1t was won by that club fairly. It is a matter of ea that should the rules of strictly construed and i 4 upon, no club | qualified for the cup this the exception of tt over the relay cours No ciub with California Cyclers rode Aprotest from themon | this ground would be equally as reasonable as ar. »w under consid the one last e complied Would v ration. Further, no amed and the Bay th the provisions a 1e lover of the sport conse member of an organi- zation that would make use of such a ground f protest? The Californias themselves fur- ned ground of disqualification for a non- ok the provisions of rule 4, and it follows therefore that no one of the conltesting teams could be awarded tne cup this year | under s strict interpretation of the rules. Neither the constitution snd by-laws of the | Californfa Associated i “lubs nor the 0 ing Cl rulesof the relay race contain any provision #s 10 how an infringement of them shall be brought to the attention of your body. The methoa ususlly adopted is by protest, and there is some mention of thatmethod in the road-racing rules: but it is a serious gues- tion whether the committee should not take official cognizance of any violation of its rules which it ers important enough to dis. qualify a club, when that violation is appar. | ent to its officials, even without their attention being cailed thereto by other persons. Circum- $tances might easily arise where such a course wouid be imperatively necessary 1n_justice to the giver of the cup. For example, the relay is an unpaced race. If an cfficial of your com- mittee should observe pacing it would un- questionably be his duty to disqualify a club accepting it of his own motion. & tacit agreement had been entered into be- tween all the clubs to allow pacing, and not to enter protests on that ground, it still would | manifestly be the duty of your committee to Gisqu them all of its own motion. As I have said, it can be shown thatevery club except the California Cyclers violated the | regulations of the committee insuch & man- s must have been observed by its officials. ng out of the rules, then, on the part s would result in your committee o awarding the cup to the club that was last to e tape. I think it will be admitted that such’a result isnot to be desired. foregoing demonstrates thatan ironclad rence 1o your rules might easily resultin dicrous as well, the association we will show that the be ill-advised protest made by the ty Cyclers and allowed by Mr. Mills, one of theif own number, were not well taken. We will show you that, as & matter of fact, the | packet was exchanged by the Bay City Wheel- men’s riders within the flags; and, more than that, that at the time the question was raised —-when, by the way, the Bay Citys were some | three minutes behind his own club—with the magnenimity of a vietor the referee decided the protest in favor of the Bay Citys, already seemingly defeated. We will show you that the flags were improper'y placed, thaf the dis- tance between them was some twenty-five yards less than it should have been under the Tules. Our motive in voicing the public demand for an investigation of this matter is not merely & desire to retain the nonor of having won the We appear before you on a broader plane | than that. We have the interests of cyeling | in this State at heart and feel that our club has | done at least as much for tie general good of | the sport as any other similar organization. | The matter before you is one of principle. On | the one hand you have a cycling club striving | to detract from the glory of the best run and st closely contested race in the history of | your organization by interposing as an objec- tion to the awarding of the cup to the winning | team @ techrical violation of a rule which | every one admits—even though it had been violated, as is claimed—could have had no effect on the final result; while on the other hand we come before you championing that broader spirit of sportsmanship which con- strues all rules and laws with the view of effecting their object and of promoting justice. It is not on account of the mere fact that we finished the race first that leads us to take this | position, for no matter what club had been rotested on such grounds they would have had the Bay City Wheelmen with them in the interest of the sport and for the sake of the principle involved. We wanted to win the race. But we wanted to win it feirly and without taking an ad- vantage of the mistake or the misfortune of any club. In proof of this, I need only call 1hé attention of your committee to the action of our ler, Freeman, in giving up his wheel to Hardy Deming when the rider was helpless witha punclurcs tire, and bad the defeatof his club staring him in the face through no fauit of his own. The spirit that prompted such an action as that stands out in harsh contrast with the position the Garden City Cyclers have taken. In conclusion, gentlemen, I wish to assure you that no discourtesy to your body is in- iended by our action in retaining thecuptill a fingl investigation, and we have every confi- derice that upon that occasion the body which you represent will determine the question of its continued possession justly. Very respect- fully, FRANK fl KERRIGAN, President Bay City Wheelmen. —_— A MIRACULOUS FALL. Young Lareson's Thirty-Foot Tumble With Bones Intact. A.

Dancing Functions of the Season Ter- minate With an Assembly at 044d Fellows’ Hall. The assembly of the r'riday Night Club at Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening was the last of the dancing events of the season. In the estimation of society leaders there is quite a difference in importance be- tween a cotillon and an assembiy. The latter may be enjoyable, animated, fall of proper life and decorous pleasure, and even brilliant as a function, but still it is supposed to lack some indefinable qualit; of excellence that stamps the cotillon wit! a seal of exclusive splendor. Assuming that last night's assembly would not assemble more than 200 of the flower of San Francisco society, Mr. Greenway directed that the banquet table should be spread for only 225 and the caterer provided for that number. The decorations of the banquet-hall, not over-profuse, were beautiful indeed, and symbolical of spring. The professional decorator achieved quite a trinmph in light and airy festooning. 'he stage in front was banked with lants, ferns, interspersed with roses and filies. Beyvond the column of plants and flowers the orchestra of twenty pieces dis- coursed lovely music. The music of an assembly differs in some degree from the music of a cotillon. In guantity the latter follows an arbitrary and fixed rule of num- bers. On the programme so many num- bers are indicated, and it would be out of form to vary from tne established chart.

The Post-Street Milliner Returns | to the City and Faces Her Accusers. The Young Ladies of Her Class Deny That They Were Cheated Out of Their Money. | | Miss Alice Haake, the milliner, whose | place of business was at 121 Post street, | and who was reported as having myste- riously disappeared, has returned. At the time this young lady left San i Francisco, it was rumored that she had | abscondea, taking with her money of sev eral ladies, who had paid her to impart to | them the mysteries of the millinery art. This allegation Miss Haake refuted, by | inviting the young ladies of her class to her residence at 14 Chattanooga street, yes- | terday afternoon, to give their versions of | the treatment, as also the instructions im- | parted to them. The following-named voung ladies were present: Miss Jane | Aiken, Miss Ada Fulton, Miss Anna Sut- won, Miss Mabel McDonald, Miss Elinor Matthai, Miss Carrie Wyckoff and Miss Bernice Lark. Those seven young Misses, with three others, Miss Anna Napthaly, Miss Amy Sefton and Miss Jessie Hunt, who were not present, represented all the entire class employed by Miss Haake at the time of her departure from this City to Nevada. Those present all stated that they had not been defrauded by Miss Haake out of their money, but on the contrary were well pleased with their treatment and the instructions given them. Miss Lark, a| pretty littie blonde, had only been with | the milliner one month and in conse- | quence of not having seeured a suitable place to continne her studies felt as if she had not got the value of her $20. Other- wise she had no fault to find with Miss In explanation of her sudden disappear- ance from this City Miss Haake stated that she simply went to Navada to sell an over- | stock of goods and that she had no desire to desert her class or business, but would | continue as before to make an honest liv- | ing for herself iu San Francisco, where she | was born and educated. | HO!

Nearly all the men, women and children | who are seeking a passage to the new EI | Dorado are from Fresno and vicinity. During the latter part of 1895 Frank Dusey, & miner, returned from Cooks Inlet and | set the countryside on fire with his stories | of the fabulous wealth of the Alaskan gold | fields, Women caught the craze and in- | ted upon accompanying their husbands. their ranches and business men borrowed money on their belongings in order to raise the necessary funds to reach the land of gold. Dusey was unanimously elected to bead the expedition, and every applicant paid him $25 in advance. The head of the expedition then came to San Francisco and chartered the steam schooner Albion. She is 165 tons net bur- den, 120 feet long, 31 feet broad, and 9 feet 9 inches deep. Into this space the miners and all their belongings were to be | crowded, and of course there had to be space reserved for the crew, the miners’ outfits, provisions and coal. As soon as arrangements had been made i and the charter secured, Dusey tele- | gravhed to Fresno for the people to come on. They arrived here last Tuesday, and | ever since have been paying their own ex- penses in hotels and lodging-houses. Some of them have spent their all in pro- curing an outfit, and are down to their last dollar. In fact one miner and s wife had to leave their hotel last night | and seek refuge in a friend’s house because | they had no money with which to pay | room rent. Nearly all the miners are in the same fix, and all laugh at the idea of wanting money in Alaska. They are all well supplied with provisions, clothing and cooking utensils, and that is all they consider necessary. When they arrived here each man and woman paid $10 additional to Dusey and then sent their baggage to Mission-street wharf. There was so much of it that the longshoremen could not handle it, and | some of the miners were set to work on the huge pile. When the coal and pro- | blocked and soon the vessel was down at her stern to the guards with the quantity of stuff rushed aboard. It was while this was going on that the inspectors appeared and warned the cap- tain that he could not get clearance papers unless the law was complied with. The miners began toswear, the women to cry and the children yelled in sympathy. Finally a semblance of peace was restored and Dusey started for the Custom-house. Jerome, but the latter insisted on uphold- ing the ruling of Inspector Phillips. Then | Dusey went back to the steamer and or- horse and cattle boxes. Carpenters were next called in and the cattle boxes were soon in the process of being turned into sleeEmg apartments for the men. The work of loading is still going on, but the inspectors will bave to be reckoned with this afterncon before the Albion gets away. The smart schooner Soghia Sutherland is also loading for Alaska, but Captain Oliver Smith will not take a man more than the law ailows. The vessel has the best of accommodation, and, given any- thing like a fair wind, she will easily beat the Albion to Alaska. Captain Smith is also an old Alaskan miner, and knows some of the best mining districts on Cooks Inlet. Many of those who were going on the Albion haye made up théir minds to go with him if they can get their passage money refunded. - Among those who have taken passage on the Albion is C.T.Church, the man who came all the way from Port Harford in a small sloop. He expected to take his boat with him, but now, for want of space, it bas to be left behind. He will send it back to Port Harford on the next Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamer, Mass-Meeting of Young People. To-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the Young Men’s.

HEW CLUB FOR M'KINLEY Enthusiastic Institution of the Continental League on Larkin Street, The Organizaticn Propeses to Take an Active Part in National Poli. tics This Campaign. Five hundred enthusiastic Republicans, warm admirers and would-be supporters of McKinley, have organized the *‘Conti- nental League,” with headquarters at 1017 Larkin street. The object of the League is to support and inculcate the principles of the Re- publican party and by political and social efforts to forward the aims of the party throughout the State. The organization proposes only to take action in National affairs, and will take an active part in the approaching Presi- dential campaign. In addition to the regular club, the members of the league expect to organize two uniformed military companies. The rooms of the Continental League have been handsomely and luxuriously fitted up. Portraits of past presidents and great Republican statesmen adorn the walls, the p 1ace of honor being accorded to a picture of the club’s idol, McKinley, draped in the folds of the stars and stripes. These rooms are at toe disposal of members and their friends aay and evening. The regular meeting of theclub will be held on Friday evening, At the initial meeting last evening a musical and literary programme was pre- sented, interspersed by stirring addesses by Colonel T.

FAKE BUTTER IN LOS ANGELES. Failing to Exculpate Themselves From Guilt the Offenders Will Be Prosecuted. A law was passed by the last Legislature known as “fillea’” and all oleomargarine should be stamped as such. The State Dairy Bu- reau at once appointed inspectors, whose ‘duty it is to desermine whether these spurious articles are being sold through- out the State. Secretary William Vanderbilt, learning that as large a quantity as 125 drums of Eastern cheese had been shipped to a wholesale merchant of this City, sent out an inspector, who purchased a couple of these cheeses and at once sent them to Professor Hilgard of the State University. His examination of the samples gave the following result: One sample marked ‘New York Full Cream” contained only 5.46 per cent of butter fat, 32.61 per cent less than is found in pure cheese. Thz full components of this sample were: Water 33.80 per cent, butter fat 5.46, foreign fats 27.67, casein 25.99, ash 4.11, other adulterants 2.97. The other sample was nearer a pure state. The analysis showed that the per- centage of water was 30.70, butter fat 19.61, foreign fats 16.70, casein 26.87, ash 3. other matter 2.49. : The pure article should contain 33.55 per cent of water, 38.07 of butter fat, 23.36 of casein, 3.35 of ash and 1.67 per cent of other matter. ¢ % The dealer in whose possession this cheese nad been found was at once asked to explain bow he had come to inporc this filled cheese and claimed that he had ordered the pure cheese. As he promised to prove this by sending for the corre- spondence in full on the subject Secretary Vanderbilt has decided not to give his name to the public until he has had a chance to vindicate himself. The dealer said that he expected the arrival of these negotiations last Wednesday, but they arrived not, sor had anything further developed up to yesterday evening. The secretary, however, has given the dealer to understand that no further time will be permitted him after next Monday. Several samples of suspicious looking cheese were brought in yesterday and put through the micioscopic test. No definite results were arrived at and they will be given a chemical analysis. ¥ Though Secretary Vanderbilt is non- committal it would look as if the whole- sale dealer had been disposing of the cheese to the retailers after he had been in- formed that the cheese was filled. 1in case this dealer fails to establish con- clusive proof of his innocence in the mat- ter he will be prosecuted in accordance with the law. g About 20,000 pounds of oleomargarine was also discovered in Los Angeles, much of it being colored to represent butter. No oleomargarine has thus far been found in San Francisco. Both the impure cheese and the oleomargarine were im- ported. el Fully to understand the injurious char- acter of the article known as ‘‘filled” cheese it is necessary only to understand the process by which it is made. First, the butter fat is entirely extracted from the milk, Then a mixture of beef suet and lard is added to the skimmed milk, and through the agency of heat an emulsion is formed. To this the rennet is added, and the cheese made in the usual manner. Of course it is only to be ex- pected that the more unscrupulous class of manufacturers will use rancid lard and suet from discased beeves. Neither can dairymen be expected to compete against the sale of an article that can be made so cheaply. Teamster’'s Leg Broken. A. Bacigalupiof 1 Joy place, in the employ of Tay & Co., Jackson and Battery streets, was brought to the Receiving llosipnll yesterday afternoon suffering from a fracture of the left leg.
