The finish was therefore left to E. F. Russ, the Olympic rider, and J. E. Wing, the Garden City man. They rode together, exchanging pace, to within two blocks of the tape on Central avenue, Alameda, when each bent over his han- dle-bars and the real test began. Slowly but surely Russ gained inch by inch, and as they flashed under the wire he was a wheel’s length and one-fifth of a second to the good. The Bay Citys finished nine minutes later and the Acmes eleven min- utes after that. H RELAY. | RIDER. I Club. | Time. Actual Riding Time. Gy M A. T. Smith est previous tme over this . C.

There is considerable dissatisfaction among many of the members, and unless this discontented element is placated the continuation of the combination will be impossible. This fact and the further fact that the co-operation of wine makers has been practically the salvation of the in- dustry in the past two years, are what makes wise men look worrled when they see a prospect of the corporation going to pieces. Even the merchants who fought the producers’ combine fast and furious for several years now acknowledge that the destruction of the combine would re- sult in the return of the old situation when wine sold at 5 cents per gallon. They say there can be no other outcome, for the producers will cut each other's THEY WORKED LIKE NAILERS AT LARKSPUR ol Good Gitizens Lay a Plank Walk. e DAY OF WORK AND REJOI ‘NG | e A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT MADE | IN A HURRY. e Bullshead Luncheon in Shula’s Grove | and a Programme of Song | Round Out the Auspi- cious Day. e “Two-forty on the old plank road” was | nothing to the pace set yesterday by the | dwellers at Larkspur in the construction of their new plank walk. It had taken a lot of public spirit and the better part of a month to get the money together to purchase the material, but little more than half a day to make one of the most noticeable improvements in the pretty Marin County resort. “The better the day the better the deed,” thought the citizens of Larkspur, and so they chose Sunday for the work. Anton Shula, who puts in the better part of six days in the week in this city in the cigar business and the seventh in his vine-embowered home at the head of Larkspur canyon, acted as generalissimo of the occasion. He was up wijth the chickens yesterday morning and took per- sonal care to see that every other person that had promised a hand in the work had an early call and a good breakfast at the Shula table.
