Percy L:Shman, Of the CrpSceatS,
Ia FIRST PIac".
Carter and Angus are Tied for
Second Place.
Mahuka, the Former Leader, Is Now
Third Msn-Yesterday' Count
Exceeded the Pre-
Vious One.

The third count of the ADvER,
TIsER ballots to determine the best
ball player in the Hawaiian League
took place yesterday afternoon at
this office.
There were 284 votes cast during
the past week, making the largest
number of ballots cast in one week
during the contest.
The result sent Percy Lishman
to first place, he having received
fifty of the total number of votes.
J. 0. Carter, Jr., and George
Angus are tied for second place,
while Mahuka, the former leader,
has been retired to number three.
During the count quite number
of people were present, and all
seemed deeply interested while the
tallying was in progress.
The best evidence of the interest
displayed on the part of the general
public in this contest is the manner
in which the ballots have increased
in number as the weeks roll by.
The first weeks count numbered
70 votes the second count aggre-
gated 1873; and the third weeks
votes amounted to 284.
Although Lishman now leads, it
is by no means a certainty that he
has cinch on the Volcano trip the
next weeks vote is as likely to
pull him down as yesterdays count
did Mahuka.
The total vote by clubs places
the Crescents in the lead, with the
Honolulus in second place. The
college boys are third, and the poor
crippled Hawaiis are like the man
who fell from balloon.

L am inclined to the opinion that
native-born Englishmen, and more es-
pecially English women, are the hard
est or at least most loyal, readers IN
existence, said a newsdealer to St.
Louis Globe Democrat reporter. One
Of the 6rst things an English immi-
grant seems to do in locating in any
city is to arrange with a news stand
to supply him or her with favorite
old country literature, and a most
careful note is taken of the date when
the first number Is promised.
Then month after month, or week
after week, as the case may be, the
subscriber, calls with marked punctu-
atty for his paper, and in event of
delay in the mails will frequently
come twice day, and will even pro-
duce copy of newspaper with a
list Of ship arrivals at New York TO
prove that the periodical ought to be
on hand.
Other foreigners sometimes secure
papers from their native lands, but
few are so perseverfng in the matter
as the English, some of whom go so
far as to refuse point blank to accept
American editions of their favorites,
even when such editions are printed
with the London edi-
ton and are fac-similes in every re-
spect except the title page.

Considerable attention has been
given in recent years to the methods
of carrying Oh communication be-
tween points in time of siege. A
French investigator strongly recon-
mends the use Of carrier pigeons for
transmitting messages. and gives a
map of Europe with the protected
stations for pigeon service marked.
During the siege of Paris the method
Of communication was carried on and
a distinct pigeon post was organized,
the letters, at the cost of ten cents a
word, being sent into the city with a
great degree of rapidity.
The letters, which were limited to
twenty words, were set In type and,
after reduced photograph was made,
the film was removed from the glass
and inclosed in small quilts, which
were then attached to one of the tail
feathers of the bird. So complete
was the organization that many
thousand letters were sent in this
way. There is no special skill re-
quired for this work, and any anna
teur photographer conversant with
the wet collodion process could, with
an ordinary camera and lens, reduce
a whole page of newspaper to such
dimensions as would enable IL to be
dispatched in the manner described.
