o5 Ctngclcs Daily (Ehne 8 SATURDAY SUSPICIOUS CASE. the least attractive feature of Its strength Is in the native talent with ANGELES making an excellent showing in the collegiate, races East. The "glorious Fourth" will be a great day In Southern California for class A riders. There will be track races at Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Ontario, San Bernardino and Redlands. At Perrls the smoothest street will be used for the races, and then there Is the great Santa Monica and half a dozen other road races.

Every day sees a crowd of local riders training for the races of the 25 and July I which she has embellished the art of elocution until she warbles sandj inn as tne oiras ao, giving out -arum her throbbing throat and flexiblft Hps sounds that are as liquid and musical as the fascinating notes of the meadow-lark. In "A Bird's Advice ers" this unique talent is displayed iWttb. the most exquisite effect.

This would make possible a splendid State circuit for next fall, as San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Crua and several other northern towns will also run meets for he national circuit at that time.

A State circuit is bound to be an annual occurrence.

Both the mile horse track and quar ter-mile of the Athletic Club are used. Many make a mistake of training on these tracks for the Santa Monica.

It is one thing to ride a dosen miles on a racecourse and entirely another to get over the bad stretches of the road between this city and Santa Monica' at top speed. W. A. Burke and Casey Castleman of this March team are coming down from the North to ride in the Turners' tournament, and G. A.

Nissen, the fast rider from Alameda, who belongs to the same team, will come with them. Will Burke is about the best finisher tne soutnwest has produced, though he originally tlce. Her singing in this selection was a splendid example of her power of ex- 1 presslon, and the range and purity of V. her voice. Another great, bit of work was "The Charcoal Man," in which 1 she gives the peculiar cry of this son of toil with its plaintive diminuendo, the answering and ringing cry from the wife at the gate, and the "goo of the babe in the swinging cradle, and all with such vivid force as to make the character stand out like a strong sketch upon canvas.

For an encore Miss Detchon, with the aid of but t. pair of ''specs' and a "An Old Maid's Opinion of Love," a bit of genre prose that was true to 4 the very life both in facial and vocal expression, and for a second encore sang a couple of Scotch ballads, with splendid expression. Two other numbers, "The Famine" from Longfellow's "Hiawatha" and the "Description of a Country Dance," comprised Miss Detchon's contributions to the nrotrramme.

Friend, The following advertisement appeared in the want columns ot The Times, in the issue of the 18th under the head of "Personals:" PERSONAL WANTED.

PHYSICIAN'S Diploma and registration certificate, uUeopath tIm'oWc'e! or bur: AddreM x- It was not placecf at the top of the column on the first page of the paper, but It was sufficiently prominent to attract the attention of several people who are very much interested in other persons who boldly advertise for a physician's diploma and certificate, offering to buy or hire the articles which are supposed be won in other ways. The advertisement was noticed by an Inspector in the health department of the city, who straightway began to cogitate over the little and also to formulate a plan of action with reference to It. It is no joking matter to use the diploma or certificate of a physician for any purpose other than that for which it is issued. For any person to file the certificate of a physician under the pretense that It has been issued to himself, subjects the offender to a penalty of from five to fourteen years imprisonment It was the knowledge of these facta that caused the Health Inspector's eyes to bulge out a trifle when he read the little "ad." Acting under instructions from his superior officer, the inspector, W. B.

Hinkle, prepared a letter of reply to the advertisement asking for the certificate and diploma, in which he stated that he possessed the articles desired, would be glad to sell them at a proper figure, and specified a time and place at which he could be seen by the advertiser. The time was 10 a.m. yesterday, and the place No. 214 South Spring street, in the jewelry store of C. J.

Watters. Promptly at the hour named Mr, Hinkle stationed himself at the store, and was shortly addressed by a short, thick-set man, dressed In gray clothes, who proved to be the individual he was looking for, introducing himself as Dr. F. C. Sanborn, with offices at No.

455 South Broadway. Mr. Hinkle, the inspector, who had assumed a fictitious name in his letter of reply to the advertisement, opened the conversation with Dr. Sanborn by informing him that, he had noted the advertisement, and, having the very articles asked for, had answered by letter, and now desired to consummate the deal, "What is the name of the physician whose diploma you asked the cautious Dr. Sanborn.

''It's one belonging to my father, who was a practicing physician, but is now deceased," said the equally wily Mr. Hinkle. "It is now in the possession of my mother, who has given me authority to negotiate for its sale." This reply Seemed to satisfy the would-be purchaser, who confidentially explained that it was not for himself that he desired the diploma and certificate, but for a very deserving young Eastern physician, who had been unable to finish his medical course, but, according to the benevolent doctor, was perfectly competent to practice as a regular physician. "liut," said Mr. Hinkle, wishing to discover the extent of Dr.

Sanborn's knowledge of law and medicine, "are'nt you afraid that in buying this thing and using It, as you propose to do for 5'our friend, you'll get into trouble of some kind?" m. "Not In the least," replied Dr. San born. "There need be no difficulty whatever experienced. You state your price, I purchase it, and that's the end of the thing." The question of price was then dis cussed.

Mr. Hinkle refused to name any figure at which he would dispose of his father's diploma and certificate, in sisting that Dr. Sanborn must set the price himself. After a lengthy discussion as to terms the parties finally sepa rated, to meet at 2 o'clock at Dr. San born's office on Broadway, where Mr.

Hinkle promised to produce the diploma and Dr. Sanborn agreed to bring his- alleged friend, who would negotiate for its nurchase. Inspector Hinkle reporter tne progress he was making In the case at the Health Office, and at the hour of appointment made his way to' the rendezvous, accompanied by H. P. Earle, the clerk of the office.

But." said Mr. Hinkle, in narrating the affair to a Times reporter, "the fellow smelt a rat as soon as he saw Earle, and suspected our mission. He declared that his friend had failed to arrive, and wished to drop the whole subject then and there. I asked him," continued Mr. Hinkle, "after throwing off my disguise and informing him as to my position, if he was not aware that he was implicating nimseir in a proceeding which, if consummated, would result in very serious consequences to himself.

He admitted that he had acted very but made the' ex cuse that he had entirely forgotten the law on the subject, and performed the an Inn as a mere kindness to ms im pecunious friend. Well, we roasted him for ail we were worm," saia inkle, "and after inquiring whether he himself was registered in the city as a nhvslclan. discovered that he was not he Simply nolding a state registration certificate. We advised him to register immediately. Dr.

Sanborn was seen at nis omce by a Times reporter and questioned with rpirard to the story of Mr. Hinkle. He admitted tne interview wnn mr. Hinkle, but declared that he had not inserted the advertisement in Tne Tims, but was requestea Dy tne man who did insert it to answer the letter which Mr. Hinkle wrote in reply to the ad disclaimed all intention of wrong- Arr hut admitted that his action was decidedly an unprofessional one, to say the least, and ir it naa Deen consummated and the certificate filed, he would have made himself liable to serve punishment A LYRICAL SUCCESS.

Society People Tara Ont to Greet Miaa Detcnoa. The American girl, Adelaide Detchon, who so captivated the critics of London, Edinburgh, Dublin and other cities of the British Isles, made her first public appearance in California at the Los Angeles Theater last night and was greeted by an audience comprising the flower and fashion of the cityan audience on the qui vive to learn the n-iat tin been announced as a "new art" What they saw in the personnel of the artist was a graceful, petite figure, exquisitely gowned, a pair of expressive blue eyes and a naive vtln-someness of manner that was as dainty and fetching as it was eiattlsitely iein; inine. It is quite possible that this strong and original personality was nearly as effective in gaining the favor of our transatlantic contemporaries as were the finished renderings of numbers on Miss Detchon's programme, tor it is certainly a potential adjunct to her art and one that Invests It with vivid Interest Miss D-tchon Is sul generis. She does not depend alone upon her power 3 an elocutionist to win the favor of her audience; in fact one may say that the elocutionary feature of her performance, the mere reailng her lines, is it.

Be sure to turn to the right at the top of the double hill where you leave the bad road. A block beyond the sign reading "Garfield avenue" turn to the right and a short ride brings you out by the cemetery where you can see the city of Santa Monica on the mesa below. There is a down-grade here and a bad sandy hill that is safest walked.

At the foot of the hill look out for the railroad track. Actobs the commons there are several trails into town and they lead right to the principal street which debouches on the Ocean Front Park, At Santa Monica several restaurants and saloons have put In racks for bicycles and store wheels free of charge. The road to Santa Monica Is far from inviting and most uninteresting, -except the last three miles, where a fine view of the ocean beach Is had. The land along the road lacks the orange groves, villas and parks of other roads leading out of Los Angeles and as ho effort is made to better this road it is usually at Its worst.

Road-riding Is the mnat nlaneant of enjoying a wheel, and yet very little roaa namg is done In Southern Califor nia. No so in Northern rniifnmio There the booming of road-rldlng by me uauiornia cycling Club and the Bay city heel men has been the lndi rect cause of the formation of over i dozen road clubs In San Francisco aione, while hardly a town can be found ud north, that does not now hav a neu-organixea cycie ciud, with regular road runs every week. This will be the case In the Southwest berore the end of another year, and the formation of half a dozen road clubs mav be pxiwtprt In thin rltv nn plan of the Roamers and the Keating Cycling Club, which are Just becoming Known. An Interesting tour Just completed was that taken by L. W.

Pryor of the Pacific Cycling Club and J. Morris the OlVmnlC Clnh Whwlmni rxt Francisco. They left San Francisco ujr wi a iw can juis Dispo over a rort vimta nna WACU 1U San Luis, as they had toured over that route before, and only had two weeks io cover Esoutnern California. Two nk Pryor and Morris mounted their wheels at San Luis Obispo in earnest. Los unvos was the end of the first day' races of next Tuesday.

As a class A rider he made Coast records in competition on the poorly-banked quarter-mile track at Phoenix, but whether he will find It as easy to win in the class events Is another thing. He rides exactly like Ztegler, and did excellent execution on May 30, though it looked as though Lacy had him beaten before he feu. But the way he won his trial heat from Ulbrlcht and others was of a surprise. R. M.

Welch, representative of the National L. A. W. Racing Board, who is stationed In San complains about unable to get. data on Southern California riders.

He says that "It is hard to understand, for it sems to me that men who are playing at a game should be interested in seeing that others play fair." The. road to Santa Monica ts now being used as a training ground by road-racing cyclers, and every Sunday wheels can be seen going both ways over every mile, while scores of wheels are passing over the road on week days. In fact more bicycles are met on this road than other kinds of vehicles. Two more bicycle stores have opened in this pity in the last few days, and still none of the twenty-two cyclerles seem to be able to get wheels fast enough. The Los Angeles Wheelmen have two commutes working on the track scheme.

One committee, composed of Thayer, Knippenberg, Allen, McGarvin and Smith, are arranging for the produc tion of a drama at the Los Angeles Theater, July 31 and August 1, 2, and 3. This play will deal with bicycles and the Santa Monica road race of the future. The profits from it will be used to form a nucleus for the bicycle track fund. Another committee Is looking for a site for the track. Riverside has transferred its sanc tion for.

races July 4 to Redlands. and. as the new Riverside track will not be graded ready for surface before July 15, Its opening meet may not be held until the annual Riverside meet, Sep. lemuer 9. The San Bernardino track mav not bo ready by July 4, so there is talk of using Garner's track, the same track that was usea in tne late circuit races.

Pryor and Morris thus "did" Southern California pretty thoroughly, though they did not get down to San Diego, as they originally intended to. Besides these touring wheelmen, there have Deen ai least a nan dozen otner riders from San Francisco and Oakland -who have 'blked" down from Rn Wranrtann all the way, and several of them were not sausnea untu tney naa ridden to the Mexican line at Tla Juana.

All three could have been covered with a blanket, and the world's one mile competition record was lowered to ,1:04. Since the Falcon team went East, over a month ago.

Clint Coulter has shown up better than Zlegler and has beaten every man on the national circuit of the L.A.W.

Black Leghorns.

(Mrs. Robert Dunn ini California Cul tivator:) Poultry is being bred for quently mahy new breeds are Intro- uuceu. ay lanuieiB; eume nave Deen made popular," while others have been less fortunate because they have insuf ficient gaudy plumage to please the fancier's eye. I for one, have bred many varieties to determine which was the best breed for profit as well as beauty. After many years of experience In poultry-raising, I have found this last two years a breed that surpasses all others in growth, laying qualities and beauty, that is the Black Leghorn.

A great many people complain or tneir being too small. They certainly are smaller than the Asiatic breeds, but have you noticed the growth of a Black Leghorn compared with that of a large Asiatic fowl? Feed one large breed with a Black Leghorn, and watch the result. Suppose these chicks were hatched in the montn of December. The Black Leghorn at the age of three months is In. full feather and ready for market at a good price, while the other has consumed more food and is unfit for market on account of being almost nude.

The ungainly cockerels, as we sup pose them to be, must have, further time allowed them to continue eating and grow feathers before they can sold. Meanwnue tne price is steauuy i decreasing. In like manner 'if particular: atten tlon Is paid to the growth of of flock of heavy pullets, as compare? with that of the Black Leghorns it will be seen that at four months the Blacks are in full and beautiful plumage with a little bright red comb, and hare commenced to lay, while tliose laay, heavy pullets are far from laying. They will not lay until'- six months old. i Thus It is seen these "smVU" Black Leghorns, although not as as some others, do not idle their lime away growing to an ungainly Blse, and are quick lo become profitable, to their twner.

The cocks grow to be vigorous birds, with rich, glossy black plumage, strongly contrasted by their large red combs, and creamy-white tear lobes, and are strikingly handsome. Their well arched necks with flowing hackles and large, full fails of long, well curved sickles, form a stately The pullets are no less handsome, and for laying have ho equal. They may be classed as non-sitters, but I have had one or two very old ihens rear a brood of chicks as well as any, common hen. Young hens never to sit. It Is a great surprise to many visitors to my yards, how I manage, to keep my Black Leghorns confined to their yards of four-foot lath.

It is easily done by clipping the feathers of the young bird as it is-turned in, and keeping- pure water and a variety of food constantly by them. With my present flock of beautiful Blacks, I shall 'continue to increase and improve them, as I am satisfied for pleasure and profit there is no breed to equal them. Powers of Vision Still Lawyer.

VTelta art UATETS SEOXS art Setter. 4 Southern Callfornlans do not use the bicycle on the highway enough. When Northern riders wheel down here they ill comment on this fact. One reason for this is the lack of road maps and a road-book. Most, of the public roadB In Northern California are measured and described In the road-book, published by the North California division of the League of American Wheelmen.

AH the Eastern States have good roadbooks, and the larger L.A.W. divisions issue an annual road-book and maps. Another drawback in touring by wheel In this part of the State is the poor quality of the roads, which get more cut up and dusty as the season passes on. In some parts of Southern California wheelmen find riding the railroad ties the best way to travel with a bicycle. This is the case in getting to Redondo Beach by bicycle.

At present the most-used route by wheelmen is the trip to Santa Monica, so that has been chosen for the Times first bicycle trip. The annual Fourth of July Santa Monica road race will start at the corner of Second and Hill etreets and go out Hill to Pico, west on Pico to Western avenue, and then on Washington to Ivy station on the Southern Pacific Railroad, where the route turns to the right Into the boulevard, which begins there. The road-race course is exactly seventeen miles and finishes down the main street of Santa Monica, a block this side of the ocean bluff. A Times reporter has wheeled over the course, and here describes it. The trip starts from trsectlon of Fig-ueroa avenue and Pico street, and is as follows: t.

Figueroa avenue (out Pico) macadam, level, good. Alvarado macadam, hollow, fair, 1 mile, bad crook In road. Pico Heights postofflce, macadam, rolling, fair, 2 miles, look out for hill. Western avenue, sand-clay, level, coor. 2 miles, turn left top of hill.

Washington street, sand-clay, rolling, poor. 3Vi miles, turn right. Bontta Meadow Hill, sand-clay, hol low, bad. miles, better walk down. Slaughter-house, clay, level, good, 6 miles.

Half-way House, adobe, level, fair, 7 miles, rest here. Boulevard, adobe, level, fair, 8 miles, turn to right. Southern Pacific bridge over road, elay, rolling, poor, 9 miles, turn left beyond bridge. The Palms, clay, hilly, fair, 9 miles, turn left mile, turn right, and turn left. National saloon, adobe, level, bad, 10H miles.

End of bad road, adobe, hill, bad, 11 Wiles, turn left top, then right and left. Scorcher's delight, clay, rolling, fine, 14H miles, turn right block beyond G. A. R. Cemetery, macadam, level, fine, 15 miles, flown baa hill to town.

Main street, Santa Monica, level. nne, 15 mues, taKe oest train to town. By this table a good idea of the road can be obtained by a new rider, and he can govern ma work accordingly. An early start is suggested, sav'7 in the morning, so as to avoid the Btlft wind that blows in from the ocean by 9 o'clock or before. Look out for the car track on Pico road and the bad hole at the crook In the road where a house stands in the way.

The road runs on both sides. Better take the left-hand road. Then there is the first hill, and it will pay BW riders to walk down and up whre file turn is made to the left onto Western avenue. There is no sign board, but it is the first four corners after the end of the street-car track two blocks back. Getting Into Washington-street ex tension mere is a Daa turn, but then reiresnments can be had there.

Now the road Is very sandy for a short mile, then the hard clay appears and the road curves before the Bonita Meadnw down-grade is reached. It will pay all new riders to walk down this grade as it is Bandy and steep. Turning onto the boulevard a mile more of sandy road is found. After passing the Southern Pacific Railroad culvert the road runs parallel to the track for a quarter of a mile. also nearly parallel for half a mile be- lore passing under the track.

In passing through the little village of The Palms, turn to the left Just after going under the track and then ride a quarter-mile and at The Villa turn to the left, then, just beyond the store, turn to the right and climb a stiff winding hilL and then the road bends to the left at a right angle. Here is a good strip or road until the hor- rlble mile and a quarter of adobe is reached. This is a straight avenue and would be a good road with a little work. Climbing a double hill and turning to the right the rider reaches what la named the "Scorcher's Delight," came from the East, as did Zelgler, for that matter. Burke Is showing up bet ter than ever before, and seems to outclass, all but Foster, if, the late circuit races are arty criterion to go oy.

ma finishes are terrific, and if there is no tandem pacing he id almost sure to win every "race he starts in. it is quius probable that he may be called East, where he will have a chance to meet the world's best racers. Whether he will be able to win there is hard to say, as all the Eastern races will be ridden fast this year on account of the introduction of tandem pacing. Many ladles ride to Santa wonica on their wheels, and most of them find the bloomer costume of unusual advantage on account of the heavy wind that has to be ridden against all the way there. There will be at least two nunurea HENRY C.
