Jones is still a Class A rider and will remain among the simon pures thia year. Like Dulmaa, he won seoond in his novice race. It was on September 10th at San Jose, but in the half-mile handicap the same day he got away with first prize. In tbe half-mile raoe on October 1st, at Alameda, he won second but at the Thanksgiving Day meet of the Ssn Jose Koad Club, be was first in tbe balf-mile scratch, and proved again that be was a dangerous man at a balf mile. In the mile handicap that day Jones finished second, and these few races cover bis whole racing experience.

On the quadruplet Jones is the third man from the front and the other riders say that only the high gear keeps him from taking the pedals from them. For bis short experience Jones may well feel proud to have ridden a mile ia 1:34 1-5, though be divides the glory with tbe restot the "quad" team. me nto os the eni. Clarence L. Davis was born twenty-two years ago and began bicycle-racing like hundreds of other famous racing men, when he- was nineteen years of age.

He is the largest inurt on the quadruplet team, weighing 174 pounds and standing 5 feet and 10'4 inches. Davis' first work was on August 27, when he won the mile handicap of the Bay City Wheelmen meet. Just two months later, at San Jose, he broke the Something About tha Four Men Who Rode the Quadruplet Bicycle and Edwards' Own Story, BRIEF HISTORY OF THE QUADRUPLET. Reducing Weight and Friction and Raising Gear of Bicy5es Make High Speed Possible A Good Illustration. Everybody is asking bow bicycle can be ridden a mile on an ordinary road in close to a minute and half or 1:84 1-5.

It is indeed strange, after all the fastost men in the world, endiue with Ziegler, could not pull down beicw 1 :50. At the beginning of last season only three men bad ridden a mile on a bicycle inside of two minutes, and many wheelmen even doubted that, yet only last Saturday five men did the mile under the first time they tried it on a stralgbtrood. True, four of them were on one bicyole. But the explanation is simple. Blcyoles have been wonderfully improved, making fast riding easier.

OuUida the star lacking In his forehead be ia the dead picture of his aire, St- Carlo, second prize-winner at California's first horse show. And St. Carlo is representative St Blaise.

'When James Howe, now presiding judge at Bay District, trained St. Blaise's youngsters for the late Hon. August Belmont, they came to ft race very early. And in this respect San Marcus promises to keep up tbe reputation of this great family. The filly Her Majesty, out of Elsie Ban, Is ft sweet piece of lions-flesh, with deptb, quality, size and finish.

She also possesses that desirable attribute of race horse a good head. Marty Bergen, who is as careful ft student of the science of riding horses as are those who most assiduously study the laws and theories of breeding and trainiutr. was much disappointed at the failure ef Percy in the last race on Saturday. He wants to win for his new employer, and wants it very badly. Speaking of Gilead he expressed his opinion that were that really good son of St.

Savior run to-day (Monday) he could not fail to win. "Mind you," says Marty, he was a good horse benoaih me, but I'm afraid he's been a little He ran on his courage the last half mile, while I was digging at him all I knew how. He's one of the bast race horses I've bad my leg over in this country (I may be wrong at that, you know), but I thinK if he's only raced once a week he's liable to 'fill up' between races Instead of being bard and sturdy." LIKES BST RL SANTA ANITA. Speaking of the chances of Ray El Santa Anita in the Brooklyn Handicap, Black and Blue of tbe Mail and Exprett, New York, (Hon. J.

C. Hennessy, Assemblyman of the State of New York from Brooklyn) aays: Roy El Santa Anita ia nloely weighted at 118 pounds, which is also the Impost on Rubicon. Most turf-goers would prefer the California colt to Rublooa at tha weights, as the last named is not oonsidored ft first-class performer over distance of ground, while Key El Santa Anita Is one of the best mile and a quarter borsos out in years." Tbe four-year-old brother to Key del Carreras, entered in the Hawthorne and Harlem stakes as Caraocua, was originally named Carabo and has been gelded. The first two-vear-old raoe for tha California season of 1895 is to take place on Friday. What oonditlon the track will be in this afternoon is an enigma at the present writing.

It is also a matter of doubt which traok will be used. This makes vast difference in making selections. For Instance, Don Fulano should win on tha regulnr track, but it Is doubtful whether he could seoare ft place on the up-and-down-hill course. Tbe selections are: First raoe Agnes, Julia Martin Ally, and Bravura. Second race Doa Fulano, Rico and Bernardo.

Third race Booze, Commission and Leon-ville. Fourth raoe Dick Behan, Miss Ruth and Ike L. Fifth raoe Sea Spray, Mutineer and Chemucks. John Mackay Wanted the Son of Eolus for Rancho del He Was Outgeneraled. PROMISING TWO-YEAR-OLDS ARRIVE.

A New York Authority Likes Rey el Santa Anita for the Brooklyn Two-Year-Olds to Race Next Friday. Tbere is a good Joke floating around which 1 ft little rough on Felix Carr. This crack jocks? is under engagement to Barney Sohreiber. Tom KUey approached the popular St. Louis turfman and re-Quested the services of Carr to ride George F.

Smith. The horse is right good just now and has a great ohanoe to win the five-furlong dash," said KUey. Schrelber promised that Carr should ride the horse. The jockey, however, had his heart set upon riding Tim Murpny, who certainly looked to have a cinch on tha raoe. "Massa Schreibar, I don't want to ride a 'skate' like George F.

Smith," remarked the jockey. Tom KUey heard that Carr was anything but anxious to ride his horse, so he told Mr. Schrelber that he would get some other jocksy. Bergen was aeoured, and George F. Smith beat Tim Murphy la easy atyle in very fast time, and Carr bas come to the eonolusloa that horse can improve whole let with let-up of several weeks.

Carr was not the only one fooled on Saturday. Sam Hildreth, the trainer for Mr. Corrigan, watched Motor warm up. The horse came by whistling a little, as bis Wind is a little affected. "Percy will make bin whistle another tune before the raoe is over," said Hil-dro'h, as he turned away to look after Percy.

Kiloy, who is training Motor since Pat Dunce's departure, smiled and remarked: "Motor may make Percy play the bars before the race is over." At all events, Percy could not keep up with Motor's whistling from the tall of tbe flap, and considerable money was burnt up on the defeat of Corrigaa's English horse. TWO-T BAR-OLDS ARHIVB. One of tbe first shipments of two-year-olds from outlying farms to take part in the tear-by carnival of racing for youngsters in this city occurred yesterday, when three colts and ft filly arrived safely from J. B. Cbase's ranch at Sonoma, consigned to their new owner, Fran it Van Ness, aud by the same token there w.U on Sunday next be a shipment of Mr.

Van Ness' glorious world bcnicr, Morelio, to the Sonoma ranch, where he will be mated with aeven Katy Pease mares and two others for Mr. Chase, and some twenty odd outside mares. Tom G. Jones, who bas charge of tha mares at Sonoma, has been working for soma time in his effort to secure Morelio. He bad no less formidable a rival than John Mackay of Rancho del Paso fame.

A the recent Horse Show Mr. Mackay said: "Morelio would fetch $20,000 at any auction, because I'd give that myself," and wben the champion of his two-year-old Tear made a grab at his admirer Mr. Mackry apostrophised him with, Want to bile mo, do you? Goon, then; I'd rather be bitten by you than by any other thorouehbred stallion in America." Whon Mr. Mackay on bis arrival from Sacramento Saturday learned the newa he turned to Tom Jones and said: "You've beat mo, haven't you! Well, come on and let's take a drink." Tbe seven Kaly Pease mares Morelio will bo hrcd to within a few weeks are Mistake, by (she is the dam of Hermitage and G.lead) Lurline, by l.ongliold, dam of Morven and Modesto; Marigold, byMilner; Cornelia, by Joe Hookor (all the former are diretU.lv from Katy Pease) Glen Ellen, by imp. Kyle Daly-Mistake, second dam Katy Pease (is the dam of Do Bracv and Monterey); Mystery, by Three Cheers-Mistake, socomi dam Katy Pease, completes the list of mares from this famous family that w.ll be bred to tbe great horse.

Mr. Chase has two others outside the family that will also be served. All these mares 1 arc this year in foal to Creighton. Tha four two-year-olds that arrived safely yesterday morning aro: San Marcus, ch. by St.

11 WILBUR EDWARDS' STORY. The Record-Breaker Explains How Easy It Is to Do 1:34 1-5. Livekmorb, February 10. After the first speed attempt of the quadruplet, which was a quarter of a mile in 23 seoonds, It was considered an easy task to break tbe record of 1 :35 held by Eddie F. Leonard providing the four-seated bicycle could maintain this speed throughout the mile.

While I do not oonsidor 1:34 1-5 low enough, I do oonsider it a remarkable performance under such conditions as we had to oontend with the wind partly against us, the road damp from sprinkling the previous night and our own inexperience with tbe big machine. When all was ready and we began to increase our speed so as to bo under full headway before reaching the starting-point, my eyes wore on the rear wheel of the quad and my mind bent on the four flyers who manned it. With ft determination to stick to them like glue, no otner tnougnts came to me until noticed tbe slackening speed of the "quad. Thinking that this must be the finish asked if that was all, and agreeably surprised to learn a few minutes after that we had made tbe fastest mile ever ridden. From the experience derived in this our first attempt we believe our next trial will be far more successful, and think it an easy task under more favorable conditions to place the record still lower.

We bad ex pected to make our second attempt to-dav. but as tbe same wind prevailed as yesterday it was conoluded to postpone the trial for another day. At present, however, the outlook is not encouraging, as it is raining, and should it continue further attempts will have to be abandoned until after tbe indoor tournament. W. J.

Five and turiongsi selling. tlon Is less and tbe gears are much higher. In the day of the high wheel a man could oniy make a bicycle wheel rovolvo once for one revolution of the cranks. To day one revolution of the pedals produces from two and a balf to throe revolutions of the wheels, and in the case of the quadruplet the gearing la higher, sometimes equivalent to nearly fivo revolutions of a bicycle wbec's. In Saturday's successful recortl Edwards' 'bicyole was geared to nearly three revolutions and the "quad" to over three revolutions for one of the fast.

But the gear usod by Edwards is in common use now on racing wheels. TUB QUADRUPLET USED FOB TBREB TEARS. The quadruplet bicycle bas beon in use about three years, but was first used as a pacemaker late last fall. Just after Zigler bad lowered the mile to 1 :50 on the Sacramento track, Tom Eck, who is the trainer aud mentor of John S. Johnson, bethought himself of this four-mun machine, and at Buffalo he found a straight course with a strong wind.

This he had measured, and being slightly down grade the experiment was tried. After several attempts 135 was made. A few days later tbe racing men of the Buffalo Press Cycing Club cut this reoord to 1 :35 on a poorer course, but with a stronger wind. Tbe men who roae the "quad" at Llvermoro Saturday are worthy of moro than passing notice as well as the machine Tony Deluias is the same ago as Ziegler, nineteen, and built very much Hue the "Little Demon." Tony stands only 5 feet 41 inches and weigba 143 pounds, but he bss not got his growth yet. Ho commenced racing on May 11th last, when he finished second in his norlco race and also won second in the two-mile handicap.

In fact, the second place was a favorite position for him to finish in no matter how fast the first man was. This was wonderful work fjr Dolmss, who rode In Class races from the start, ana thus had only the fastest men to ride against and in most cases men that had the advantage of better training. On July 27tn, at Ihe Electrio Light Tournament at San Jose, Tony Delmas captured two more seconds. On September lOih, at the finest meet of the year, Tony got two more seconds. At the Olympic meet.

October 1st, tbe little fellow enme In for two more seconds. At tho Acme meet, Alameda, July 4th, and on tbe same track August 15th, he won tnirds, finishing close up with the best man. If Delmas had staved In Class A he would have been the best man on the Coast in that class for tho whole 'svm. At Sacramento last fall with Bob Long, Delmas paced Ziegler when be made a mllo in 1:60, and roka the quarter and half mile tandem world's records, ono of which he still holds. Ho also tnado tbe mile in 1 in practice on the tundera there.

As tho captain of the "quad" be has ngain shown his ability aud can now lay claim to having ridden a mile as fast as any racing man on wheels. SMITH Or SAX iOaB. Henry C. Smith or San Jose has been racing longer man any cf the other riders of tbe four-man machine. He is but twenty-one years old, weigbs 150 pounds, and stands but 5 feet and 7 inches.

He has cot devo.ed very much time to training, but yot won over $600, worth of prizes In 1894. His winnings were as fol lows: May 1st, one first and one second: July 4th, a first and a third; September loth, a second ana a third: November 25tb, two seconds, both being close finishes to Zicglcr. Smith was sixteen years old when be first began bicycle ri ling, and at seventeen he began making century runs and doing some racing. At that time he was a mem ber of the fjaraen Citv VVnoclmcn. organ ized in 1880.

This club combined with the Sao Jose Cyclers and formed the Garden Ciiy Cyclers. Henry C.
