THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1896. 5 ACME CLUB CYCLISTS SET A NEW MARK--24:20. s i e aseecd| Lightning Time in the Haywards Road Race in Which One Hundred Men |7 7., T vl oo e Pl e K Started and Seventy-Nine Finished. £ A riders, time made and the value o: prizes it excelled any previous event of the kind ever held in this State. The day was an ideal one for cycle- racing. A slight sprinkle of rain Satur- day evening had laid the dust and cleared the atmosphere, and a brisk breeze at the backs of the riders facilitated speed and accounted in & measure for the remarka- bly fast time made. The Associated Clubs, composed of all the prominent cycling clubs within a radius of fifty miles of San Francisco, about twenty-five in number, holds four big roadraces annually—a 25-mile handi- cap around the San Leandro triangle in February, a 100-mile relay around the bay in April, a 20-mile scratch around the tri- ang'e in July, and a 10-mile straightaway handicap in October. It was this latter event which was run yesterday, and it was the third one held thus far. In number of entrants it ex- ceeded the two previous ones by nearly double, and the time made was so ex- ceptionally fast as to border almost on the marvelous. Early in the morning the ferry and raiiroad officials were made aware that something great in the cycling liné was in the wind. Pilgrims on wheels from every quarter were making Fruitvale and Haywa:ds their Mecca. There were brawny young men and fair damsels in natty bloomer costumes, ail with a set purpose in their eye. Ti.eelder generation, too, seemed stimuldtea by the occasion and the electric cars toward fa- vored coigns of vantage whence the race could be viewed were jammed with en- thusiasts of scber mien. Thither, too, were hastening vendors of popular wares, eager to reap a brief har- vest among the crowds of the sport-loving public. The word had evidently been passed around by mysterious grapevine telegraph that some record-breaking might be done. Asitturned out the crowds were not dis- aprointed. Viewed as a whole the event was a grand opportunity for an outing. Every entrant bad a following. There was his own family to begin with and then came his friends and his iellow-clubmen. The class of “friends” very often in- cluded some one at least of the fair sex, who more than appreciated the fine fizure which her hero presented in racing trim. Many drivers, too, took advantage of the chance to give their buggy-horses a breather ana followed the sport with pecu- liar advantage. All in all, it was as motley an assemblage as ever was drawn together in the pretty suburbs o! Oakland. The association’s events always draw large crowds to the start and finish of the races, and vesterday’s attendance was much greater than usual. The race was scheduled to leave Fruiivale at 11 o'clock, and an hour before that time the vicinity of High street and the San Leandro road was a mass of cyclers, with more arriving all the (ime. When it came time to start the different contestants Starter Fawcett found great difficulty in getting sufficient clear room for the riders. In some places the road over which the race was run was lightning fast. Twenty- six men rode under the record of last year, which was 25 min. 59 4-5 sec., and the fast- est time made was fully a minute and a half faster than that. It was a case of “sprint” from start to finish, and those who had not looked well to their training soon acquired a tired feeling which in- duced them to quit early in the ride, whereupon they would carefully inspect | their wheels to give bystanders and pass- | ing riders the impresgsion that something | bad happened to their mounts. Though many fell by the wayside through inability to keep the pace and others met with punctures and other slight accidents, still nothing serious hap- pened to any one and eighty out of the original 110 entrants finished the race. E. J. Smith of the Acme Club rode into first place from a handicap of three min- utes and his victory was so complete that | be finished riding at hisease, sitting erect, there being no one within a hundred yards to contest with him. But after that they began to come in in twos and fours | and single, with sometimes as many as ten m one bunch, so that the marvel is that the judges, timers and scorers placed them properly. Above the excited cheering and yelling of the multitude could be heard "Judge Kerrigan calling the men’s positions by HovrrD uCSQUIfES “Winiwsg oF Time TRize, " Snrirh . IINNER OF ‘15T PLREE numbers as they crossed the tape—*18, 22, 3, 106, 79, 58,’" and so on, accompanied by T.mer Wetmore’s tally: *Eleven thirtve two and two-fifths, thirty-three and one- fifth, thirty-four flat, thirty-five and four- fifths,” in such rapid succession that had the scorers lost their head~ for 2a moment the accuracy of the table would have been spoiled. But to their credit there was not a slipmade in the score, and so everything was lovely. When the scratch men came into view it was seen that Squires, another Acme man, was leading, with Kenna of Ala- meda, Noonan of Santa KRosa, Yeoman, Reliance, and Kraft, Bay City, all in the same bunch. They flashed across the tape in that order, frections of a second apart, amid the delighted yells of the Acme Club men, who then realized that tiey had not only won first place but time prize as well, the latter invariably falling to scratch men in a race, owing to their greaier speed. And then after a few of the slower riders had strageled in, everybody wanted to know who had made the best time and the officials were besieged with inquiries. Some thought Williamson of Santa Rosa had it, others Maack of the Imperials. Buta little quick computation gave 1t to Squires, whose ride was a remarkably creditable one. His time was 25 minutes 20 seconas, which lowers Byrne's coest record twenty- seven seconds, and is very close to the ex- 1sting world’s record.

Christ Buidsd the Church as a House Founded Upon a Rock. IN POSSESSION 1500 YEARS A Fine Audience in St Francis Church Listcns to the Chancei- lor’s Latest Lecture. One of the finest audiences that Rev. Father P. C. Yorke hasaddressed in this City in a long time assembled last night in St. Francis Church, on Vallejo street, near Montgomery avenue, to hear his lecture on *The End of Controversy.” The admission was 50 cents, and there was hardly a vacant seat to be seen in the vast anditorium and galleries. The choir gave a prelude of some special music while the audience was assembling. Rev. Father Carraher, pastor of St Francis, from the pulpit kindly requested the large audience to remember that they were seated in the house of God and not in a ball. Father Yorke spoke forvveran hour. The lecture was not a discussion of local questions, as the topic might sug- gest, but a comprehensive dissertation on the authority of the church of Rome. Father Yorke said substantially: The end of controversy that I intend to speak sbout is, I consider, an end to COntroversy not only in this City, but of all controversy of a similar nature. What wouid be the natural end of & great controversy which divides the great bodies of the peopie of this Republic? | There might be an end of controversy by mu- tual agreement—if there were & settiing down into a state of mutual stagnation. But there may be another end. Peo‘;le may care little of the matters in dispute. When in ity or State or country the people take no interest in polities then the beginning of the end of that country has begun; the end of liberty has come. So it is the same way when men tuke no interest in religion. They have forgotten what is yhe noblest part of them. There is an end of coniroversy, and one end alone. If weare to have an end of contro- versy, then we must ail settle on what is the truth, Now us to the truih end comtroversy of reiigion, of course there are a large number of people who do not think there s any truth in religion. If there is no such truth, then we are children disputing about a trifle. But the vast mejority of the people of this eountry are Christians of some sort. They be- lieve (here 18 ixuth in relizion. Now,1f there be any truth then that truth must be tie end of il controversy. The whole real end is to find out if there has in this wide worla exer been any one to tell us what the trutn is. Now, you know that about 1900 years ago there appeared a certain manin Palestine wio professed to bring & messagé fiom God—who professed the truth and taugnt it. Theend of ull controversy must be what Christ said. What truth there 18 in him must be the end of all controversy. His teachings were written down. Hence the Bible and what it says is the end of a1 co-iroversy. If we study it we shall find in our hearts that peace which is the end of controversy. 3 Nobody can deny that there are in every re- ligious sect and denomination men and wo- men who mean to do what is right and who are seeking the truth. But what Christ speaks in the Bib.e is one thing to the Baptists and to the Methodists or Episcopaliaus or Presbyie- rians it 1s something else. We find all denom- inations com ng to the Bible for an end of ?on‘lruveny, but they go away in more con- usion. A few days ago politicians of this City had a controversy about what ticket had a right to €O before the people. They took the question toa tribunal, which passed upon and ended the controversy. Some say the decision was Wrong, but nevertheless it was anend of the controversy. There was peace where before there were disputes. How is it in religion that we cannot have such an end of controversy? 1f there is an end of coniroversy in religion, it is to be fourd in some religious autnority, some tribunai, somo Supreme court, whicn has the right of study- ing it and of glving & deci<ion. Religion aftcr &l is the most important thing. Now our Lord gathered about him & certain body of men, with whom he had sweet con- verse. He knew controversy would come. | been given the leading parts in the cast. How did he provide for it? By giving us them for & supreme court. He said: “He that hear- eth you heareth me, and ho that heare h me heareth him that sent me.” He sent them out 10 teach the truth. The end of all controversy is Christ—not a dead Christ, but the Christ that is in the midst of us. That aposto ic college, or whatever you wish to cail it, spoke the word, »nd by the author- ity of Christ. When you destroy the machine which keeps society together, then you ulso | desiroy the society. D es it look Iike com- mon-sense to say (hat aiter Christ went 10 the trouble to teach for turee years that he in- tended it should go to picces? He intended it to last for all time. *‘He that heareth you heareth me.” Our Lord spoke of a society which he was going to build as a house. We understand what he means. The first thing that a house needs is a foundation. The country in which Jesus Cnrist lived was much like California. Like the wise man builded, the house was builded on a rock. He spoke abiut building iton atock. He meant that the organization should be puton a certain foundation, which shou.d keep it together, and it is the end of all controversy. So Christ changed the name of Simon to rock and builded his church sagainst it, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. We believe that Jesus Christ established in his church an end of controversy—a tribunal | or power to take up controversies and decide them. In law the quiet possession of property for & term of years entitles the possessor in its undisputed possession thereafter. Now, itisa ing that the power to end contro- §jras in the possession of one body for 1500 years, up to 300 years ago. The Christian world acknowledged that that power existed. We can find it exercised in every country up to 300 years ago. Surely such possession ought to entitle that body, that tribunal to the power it claimed, and that body is known as the church of Rome, If we see the necessity of an end of controversy, the one church alone which should have the | power is the church of Rome, which claims | the right of the court of appeals. Other de- nominations know their own doctrines are | fluctuating, They confess their liability toerr. The Pope is the lineal descendant of St. Peter, who was | the rock on which the church was built., In- | faliibility only meaus that waen a decision is banded down from the Supreme Court it is the right decision. If God establishea that Su- preme Court it isinfallible, and if it is not it is a delusion and a snare, and we were betier off without it. 1f the Pope is the end of controversy he must be infallible. There is only one society which claims the infailible end of contro- versy. It is the one flock and the one shep- herd of us all. It is one law, one God, one baptism, one shepherd and one universal fold into which all the sheep may come. WITH THE PLAYERS. Arvtractions That Are to Be Offered at the Theaters of This City This Eveing. The management of the Baldwin The- ater will this evening again present ““The Prisoner of Ze¢nda,” with the same cast that offered it last week. This very fasci- nating play has drawn large houses dur- ing the past week, and another good one is looked for. To-night *'Trilby,”” which it has been de- cided to run for another week, is to be |on the boards at the Columbia Theater. The largs audiences that viewed this per- formance last week show that ihe theater- goers of San Francisco have not yet tired of the work of Du Maurier. ‘To-night the company at the Alcazar Theater will present that emotional drama of modern times, “The Wife’s Peril,” in which Lilly Langtry made such a great hit. The favorites of the company have This evening u. R. Stockwell appears for the first t‘me at the Grand Opera-house in the character of Marks, the lawyer. in the play of ““Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Walter Fessler will assume the part of Simon Legree, Lottie Wiiliams will come on as Topsy and little Mildred will appear as Eva. “The Babes in the Woods,” to be given at the Tivoli Opera-house to-night, is an operatic buriesque, in which Miss Lilly Post will make her first appearance and Kerris Hartman his reappearance. The burlesque has been ameuded so. as to ring it up to date. There will be enough variety at the Or- pheum Music Hall this evening to satisfy the most fastidious. The Hawaiian band will continue to render choice selections, the Mengler sisters from London will ap- pear and the Japanese troupe will give an exhibition of clever work. The star event at the Haight-street grounds, better known as the Chutes, to- night will be the first of the relay race be- tween local cyclers. It will be five miles for speed. There will in addition be a number of attractions at the Casino, —_———— Emmet Football Game, Two teams of the Emmet Football Club played their first practice game at the Recreation Grounds, Golden Gate Park, yesterday before a large crowd of spectators.

The riflemen at Oaptain Siebe’s range | kept up a merry racket with their fire- arms all day yesterday. The weather was all right, but the light at times was vary- ing and consequently poor for good work. The attendance at the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Ciub’s - shoot was large, 1s over. Mrs. L. D. Adam and Mrs. J. P. Cosgrave are also aniong the most enthu- siastic of rifle shots and give promise of becoming experts ere long. Colonel Kellogg is again in the Colum- bia’s ranks and promises to show the younger members that he 1s not a back number with rifle and revolver. A. H. Pape is still experimenting with nitro powder. Itis expected that his next ex- periment will be tc put a pillow on the cheek-plate of his rifle stock.

Ione, Amador County, has a marksman who is likely to cause the men around San Francisco to look to their laurels. He is Dr. B. H. Foreman. On the Ione range recently he made 214 in ten shots on the German ring tar.et. Witha 22 L. R. Win- chester Dr. Foreman made off-band on a Columbia target; 50 yards, 1,2, 1, 1, 1—6. This score equals the best 'mude st the Shell Mound range, only two men, Hovey and Jacobson, having done as well. On the 100-yard range, same target, he made astring of 1, 2, 2, 1, 1—7 at rest, and 1, 3,6, 3,3,3,3,3, 38, 5—33 off-hand. As their is no shooting done on the 100-yard range at Shell Mound these last scores cannot be compared, bnt it is sale to say that such shooting would keep the men around the bay busy to beat. FIFTH NOW READY 10 GO The Second Special Is Sched- uled to Depart Next Thursday. Engineers R'sume Work on Harbor Fortifications — Emplacements for 12-Inch Guns. To-morrow Lieutenant-Colone! Sinclair and Batteries E, K and L, Fifth Artillery, accompanied by Major Tullv McCrea, will leave this Oity on a special train, via Cen- tral Pacific, for New York Harbor. Thursday next tke headquarters, Gen- eral Graham, staff band and Batteries A, B, G, I and M will leave also on a special train for New York. did Captains Euclid B. Frick and George M. Wells, assistant surgeons, are assig:ied to duty with the .Fifth Artillery while en route to'the Departmentof the East, the former with the command to move on the 15th inst. and the lagter with the com- mand to move on the 13th inst. These officers will return to San Krancisco. Special Orders No. 120, from department headquarters,. contain, the names of 173 enlisted men who have elected to remain in this department. Of the band 8 remain, of Battery A 21, Battery B 7, Battery C 19, L ght Battery D 10, Battery E 25, Light Battery F 20, Battery 1 13, %utery Kg 9, Battery L 24 and Battery M 16, These men will be assigned to the Third Artil- lery, due here nexi Saturday, if that regi- ment can absorb them. Under the contract for transportation the rate which an cfficer must pay for each first-class ticket is as foilows: San Fran- cisco to Council Bluifs $25 - Council Bluffs to New York §$1830; sleeper—San Fran- cisco to Council Bluffs $18, Conncil Bluffs to New York $7 50; total, §63 80. The second-class rate, which is designed for the use of enlisted men’s families, is thus given: San Francisco to Councl| Bluffs, $23 33, including sleeper, three pas- sengers to a section ; Council Blufis to New York, $18 30, sleeper $6 per section: total, $4: 63 The sudden call for the troops to move Fas imposed a pecuniary hardship on the officers and enlisted men with families. There has been adeal of money-borrowing in_order to make the trip. . One officer raised $700 to lend to the band. At the Presidio, Alcatraz and Fort Mason packing up is the order of the day. Special orders No. 120 from department headquarters report that official notifica- tion has b-en received of the trans ers of Major Joseph G. Ramsay from the Third to the Fiith Artillery and Mai‘or John A, | Darling from the Fifth tot e Third Artil- lery. The transier enables Major Darling to'remain at the Presidio. The tak of Major Darling securing a triumph over General Graham in obtaining this transfer is regarded at department headquarters as unwarranied. Colonel Shafter, the de- partment commander, says that Major Darling’s application for a transfer was approved by General Grabam, and on that favorable recom mendation approval at de- partment headquarters followed. General Graham, who leaves next Thurs- day for the Department of the East, has commanded the post at the Presidio since 1887, with the exception of an interval of eighteen months, when Colonel Langdon was in command. As a disciplinarian he holds a firm hand on a garrison and re- quires every officer and enlisted man to perform his duty. He has made some enemies among civilians who desired to train their dogs ana pasture livestock on the reservation, but he has gained the commendation of many people for his ex- cellent management of post affairs. It has been his purpose to make the reserv: tion a pleasant park for ladies and ch dren, and to this end strict patrol duty has been enforced to prevent tramps from camping on the prem:ses. General Grabam at first thought of leay- ing his family here, but on second consid- eration decided to take all the members of his household to New York, excepting one son, who will remain at the University of California. The zeneral will probably re- turn to San Francisco for permanent residence after his retirement. He ranks as one of the ablest ana bravest soldiers in the army. Speaking of some of his traits an officer of the Fifth Artillery re- cently said: *I am not in love with Gen- eral Graham, but I will say that there is no discount on him as a soldier. He ex- pects every man to do his duty and sets the example himself. He has no patience with officers or men who skulk from dan- ger or shrink from duty.” The advance command of the Third Art llery should arrive in San Francisco next Saturday. The headquariers, Colonel Bainbridee, staff, band, Light Batteries C and F and Batteries A, G, H, I and K will take station at the Presidio. The lieuten- ant-colonel and Batteries D and L will go to Aleatraz and Battery E to Fort Mason. Colonel Suter, Major Davis and Lieu- tenant Potter, corps of engineers, are now at work on the fortifications of this har- bor. Another 12-inch rifle 1s on the way to_this City.
