COMMENTS FROM SACRAMENTO. The Record-Union in the course of its report to-day about the race says The Capital City team would have made even better time, bad not one ot its men, Wells, lost his wav between Lodi and Galt. He wandered nearly a mile from the road, and finally had to go to a furm-huuse and ask his way.

Each club had judges at the several relay stations, to see that everything was done on the square. The race passed off pleasantly, although the Storkton men claim that the 8aeramentans had a little the advantage of them by having the wind at their backs. The Capital City rders, however, declare that the ind blew across the road from the west, and that neither side had any advantage on that score. Dexter says that his run into the cty was made right in the face of a strong breeze. Particulars of the Relay Bicycle Race Run Yesterday, The Wind Favored the Capital City Wheelmen and Lost the Race for the Oak Leafs.

In the relay bicycle race for trophies offered respectively by the Mail nnd the Sacramento Record- Union the Oak Leaf team of this city was beaten yesterday by the Capital City team by 10 minutes and 17 2-5 seconds. The defeat of the Stockton team is attributed mainly tos the high wind that blew from the southwest. Against this wind the Oak Leaf relay men had. to ride, as their course was from Sacramento here, while the Sacramentans rode from Stockton towards the Capital City. It is estimated that on a fifty-mile ride yesterdays wind would retard thoee riding against it by at least twenty minutes, and assist those riding with it twenty minutes, making a total vantage of forty minutes for the Sacramento men.

If this estimate is correct, the Stockton wheelmen would have beaten the Sacramento men half an hour had the atmosphere been calm. The following is the time in minutes and seconds made by each of the five Stockton relay men and the distance (in miles) traversed by each. A SPLENDID GAME. The Stnchton Baseball Team Beats the Sacramentos at Lockeford. There was an excellent game of baseball played at the Good Templars picnic near Lockeford on Saturday last.

Indecent Writings nnd Pictures Left by Them Inside the Courthouse Dome "The door at the entrance to the Courthouse dome will be kept locked hereafter, said Janitor DeFangher to a Mail reporter to-day, and those who wish to go to the top will have to come to the janitors for a key. Why will yon keep the door locked 7 asked the reporter.

Why? echoed the head janitor. You ought to go up in there and youll see. The boys who have gone np have covered the walls with their names and other writings and pictures, indecent and otherwise, until ladies are ashamed to go up. The only way to stop the writing and picture-drawing is to keep the boys out, and the only way to keep them out is to keep the door locked and not let any of them np unless they are with grown people. Well be glad to let Has the City a Claim to 160 Acres West of Town? A Tract Held by Senator Eoggs to Which, it is Said, the City Has Strings Under the Law.

There is a piece of land lying in the angle formed by the conjunction of Mormon and Stockton channels, which, although it is assessed to an individual, may belong to the city of Stockton. The piece consiets of 160 acres worth $100 an acre, the entire tract being worth $16,000. This is a nice little bit of property for anybody to own, and if the city has any title to it there will probably be some court proceedings concerning it. The tract was swamti land, and it is claimed that under the law swamp land within a mile of the corporate limits of a city cannot be filed to by any person, the municipality having the only right. The piece of land referred to was formerly a part of the Moss tract.

About ten years ago it was sold to John Wallace, Judge Baldwin and George Goodell. Three years ago Senator Boggs purchased the land from those gentlemen. The property now stands in Senator Boggs name. It is destined to be very valuable land if the city grows westward, for it is close to the corporate limits and has excellent water frontage. City Attorney Levinskv wasqnestioned this afternoon by a Mah, reporter concerning the piece of land.

I have heard, he that there was a tract lying down in there to which the State had a claim as swamp land, but I never knew that the city of Stock-ton had any claim to it. I will look the matter up and see how it stands. A prominent land lawyer, who was approached, said that he believed the property belonged to the State of California.

Someone Hat Been Tampering With the Courthouse Clock Regulating Wires. The crazy actions of the clocks in the various county offices in the Courthouse have been creating no end of complaint among officials. No two of the clocks showed the same hour, and not one of them showed the correct time. The cause of the erratic doings of the timepieces has been discovered by Edward Coudy, who has charge of the big clock in the dome. The clocks in the offices are wound up each week like other clocks, but they are regulated as to time by the big clock in the dome by means of electricity.

The big clock is kept on time by Mr. Condv. The most it has ever varied is eight seconds in a week, or a minute in a little less than two months. Why the smaller clocks should be so far off was, consequently, a mystery, At thetirst landing in the dome the electric wires of the regulating system come into view tor a distance of about four feet. Two gas pipes run along side of them.

Mr. Coudy discovered to-day that some miscreant familiar with electricity had scraped about two inches of the rubber coating from one of the wires and had drawn the wire across the gas pipe and fastened it so that the bare place lay against the pipe. The current of electricity was drawn off, rendering the regulating system valueless. Steps will be taken immediately to remedy matters so that correct time will be kept by the clocks. A CRAZY GARDENER.

He is Committed to the Insane Asylum Tilts Afternoon. Before Judge Smith this afternoon eat Emanuel F. Ellwanger, a rough-looking man possessed of small, piercing eyes an bushy side whiskers, who was being examined for insanity. Ellwanger is a gardener by occupation. The testimony showed that last Saturday he pulled up some plants at a residence on El Dorado street between Washington and Lafayette streets, where he was employed went into a neighboring yard and chopped a lot of vines which he said needed trimming, and hacked with a hatchet the wooden sidewalk in front of the houses there.

He was arrested by Chiei Robinson and Constable Carroll. At his examination he stated that his mother had been insane, and that he himself had been an inmaie of a lunatic hospital in New York State. Referring to his imprisonment in jail, where he was very violent yesterday, he said: They put me into a rat, -hole with four thieves, who nearly killed me with a hatchet. Ellwanger was committed to the State Asylum. He asked that he be allowed to go and come, promising to obey the Superintendents orders.

Drink Jacksons Napa soda; May A sole agents for Stockton.

aplfitf The Sacramento team made the run in 3 hours, 11 minutes and 32 3 5 seconds. The time made by each relay man is not known here. DETAILS OE THE RACE. The start was made at half-past 1 oclock from the Pacific Postal telegraph offices in the two cities. Electric bells connected with the Pacific Postal wire had been placed at the doors of each office.

At 1 :29 oclock the bells rang simultaneously at each office as a signal for the starters to be ready. At 1:30 sharp the bells rang again, and the race commenced. Wulif, the first relay man, started with a copy of the Mail from the Sacramento telegraph office and L. S. Upson with a copy of the Record- Union from the Stockton telegraph office.

Wnlff took a pedal start and Upson started from the monnt, being assisted off by Mohrig. Wulff had a hard ride of it, as the wind was dead ahead for the greater part of his distance. Three miles from Florin he was met by Boyd Cobb, who rode to the left and a libtleahead of him to set the pace and break the force of the wind, as Wnlff was then riding due south, with the wind blowing out of the southwest. The disadvantage of riding against the wind was shown by the fact that after finishing his distance Wulff rode back and made better time than before, notwithstanding the fact that he made several stops on the road. Lillie, the second Stockton relay man, was tired dut by his ride.

Bargmann, the third to pick up the race, had the worst piece of road on the route, but he made a gallant ride and completed his distance in the remarkably short time already stated. Swain and Inglis had the longest stretches of all to cover, and the wind was, for the greater portion of the distance, almost dead ahead. At most of the stations both the Stock-ton and Sacramento bicyclists made dying starts. That is to say, when the relay man was coming np the next on the line would ride up with him to the station and receive the paper irom him on the fly. The judges at Sacramento were W.

B. Morrill and Arthur Ashley the judges here, M. S. Lavinson and C. F.

Hutchinson. Fred Eckstrom, President of the Oak Leaf Club, was also at Sacramento to look out for the interests of the Stock-ton men. The Capital City relay men were L. S. Upson, C.

S. Wells, C. G. De Merritt, George Hudson and W. A.

Dexter. A BACRAMENTO PROFESSION 1L. Mr. Dexter, who had the last relay, was assisted by Knapp, a professional racer, who Bet the pace for him. This fact may invalidate the result, and there is talk of appealing to the National Racing Board.

Under the agreement between the Capital City and the Oak Leaf Clubs no professionals were to take part in the contest. One of the rules of the National Racing Board reads as follows: A cyclist ceases to be an amateur by competing with a professional or making pace for or having pace made by such in public or for a prize. It is claimed that under this rule and under the agreement not to have professionals in the contest the Sacramentos had no right to avail themselves ot, the services of Mr. Knapp to pace Dexter. The Stockton men had forewarned the Sacramento contestants that they must not let Knapp assist them.

C. C. Hopkins of this city, a professional, who by the way has made the distance from Stockton to Sacramento in 3 hours and 28 minutes by himself, had offered to pace one of the Stockton relay men, but his offer was declined on the ground that to accept his service would be breaking faith with the Sacramento team. The latter was informed that Hopkins would take no part in the contest. If an appeal is taken it will be made to the National RAcing Board instead of the League of American Wheelmen, because the latter organization has no road-racing rules.

The reaeon it has no roadracing rules is this The object of the league is to encourage the building of good roads, and so it must work in unison with the public authorities.

A scrap that created considerable excitement took place at the corner of Center and Washington streets last evening. Constable Carroll was going home in his buggy when he noticed a crowd of about 150 people gathered there. The crowd had formed a ring around two contestants, who were slugging each other in a lively manner.

When the Constable ran through the crowd someone announced his presence. One of the fighters darted into the crowd bareheaded and the other sprang over a fence at the rear of Alegrettis store, the officer after him. The fugitive got dazed after he jumped into the yard and was captured before he could get over the next fence. His pistol, which he dropped from his pocket when he scaled the first fence, was found lying in the yard, and itwas handed to the Constable. At the jail the prisoner gave his name as Joe Wilson, which the police think is not his true name.

His face was bloody. He claimed not to know the man with whom he was fighting and said the latter jumped on him without sufficient provocation, A friend deposited $25 cash hail for the captured one, and he was allowed to go. Shot In the Leg. On Saturday forenoon last D.E. Berry, of the firm of Wells Berry, was accidentally shot in the left leg below the knee at Lockeford.

Edwin Taylor of Railroad Flat, who was standing at the depot previons to going away, turned his pistol over to Mr. Berry, who generally keeps it for him, when he accidentally dropped it. The weapon was discharged, and the ball struck Mr. Berry in the leg, narrowly missing a man named Raggio, who was standing close by. Drs.

Murphy of San Andreas ana Parrish of Angels Camp, who dressc-d the injured leg, consider the wound a very severe one inasmuch as the larger of the two bones below the knee was fractured by the bullet. Frost To-morrow Morning. Yesterday the Weather Bureau eent out a dispatch stating that a heavy storm was moving eastward north of California. The following is the forecast from 10 oclock this forenoon to 10 oclock to-morrow forenoon: Fair weather; Blightly warmer to-day; cooler to-night, with frosts in exposed places.
