MACFARLANEs FRED MAC WINS
Arbitrary Action of One of the
Members of the Jockey Club.
THE SIXTH EVENT.

The continuation of race number
six, which was postponed from last
Saturdays meeting of the Hawaiian
Jockey Club on account of dark
ness, took place at Kapiolani park
Monday afternoon. All three of
the judges were present, besides an
audience of about one hundred.
At 2;25 the judges assembled the
stand, and the race was called.
Messrs. Focke and Dexter acted as
timekeepers. After scoring four
times, the contesting horses-Au-
punt, Fred Mac and Linda Win
their respective positions, got the
word. Aupuni succeeded in getting
an advantage of about 10 feet at the
start, and increased it to con.
siderable distance after leaving the
quarter pole, and still further in
creased it before reaching the half
stretch. Although all the horses
moved like clockwork and at a
rapid gait, Aupuni had such an
advantage as would make him a
sure winner, but unfortunately
struck a soft place in the track
shortly after passing the half-pole
and broke. This gave Fred Mac
the advantage, and he maintained
it to the end, winning the heat and
the race in the extraordinary fast
time of 2 :42.
After a few moments spent in
arranging some minor details,
4-mile dash running race was de-
cided on between Ballantine's
Queen L and Macfarlane's Little
One for purse of 800 aside, the
horses to be ridden by their respec-
tive owners.
When the arrangements for the
the race had been perfected, Mr..
Focke refused to allow the event
unless he was paid $25 for the use of
the track. This created no little
dissatisfaction among those pres
ent, and Mr.. Focke's action came
in for great deal of adverse crit
icism. Notwithstanding the fact
that the owners of both horses are
members of the jockey club and
that several other members of the
club present made no objection, |
Mr.. Focke still insisted upon the
payment of $25 for the use of the
track, claiming that he was acting |
under the orders of Secretary Ber- |
ger, of the Hawaiian Jockey Club. |
The desired sum was raised among |
those present, and paid Mr.. Focke |
under protest, and the race went
on. The officials named above |
acted in the capacities of judges
and timekeepers.
a fair start was made and the |
word given. Little One made the
pace and led slightly for time,
but Queen L had been reserved for

ace in 81 seconds. This is con-
lidered rather fast time in lieu of

horses, the riders weight being
placed roughly at 147 and 145 res
oectively.
Mr.. Focke's action was roundly
condemned as being contrary to all
ustom and usage, and has not

CHINA,s NAVY NOE FEARED
What Naval Officer Says OF the
CeIesfiaIs as Fighters and
Sailors.

"The viceroy of China is quoted
as saying that he would like to send
a feet to teach the Americans man
ners," remarked a commodore IN
the navy yesterday. Il think 1t
would be an admirable idea. We
want more ships and that would be
a cheap and easy way for US to get
them.
"Suppose that Chinese squad
ron should make hostile demonstra-
tions off the Pacific coast. How
long do you suppose it would take
US to gobble it up? A collision
once arrived at, it would only be a
matter of few hours or perhaps
minutes. We could easily destroy
the ships, but it would be better to
capture them if practicable.
"True, the navy of China is
stronger than ours, so far as yes
sells are concerned. But the finest
ships in the world do not amount
to a row of pins without good men
to fight them. The trouble with
the Chinese is that they do not
know how to fight. Furthermore,
they are no sailors.
"a sailor is born, like a poet.
Some people take naturally to the
water like ducks. The Norwegians
are born sailors, so are the Danes
and the Firms. We are not such
good sailors as they, but we take
fairly well to the sea.
ut would not take US long to
capture the whole of China's navy.
When she fought with the French
a few years ago she had some ex-
cellent ships of war. They were
all taken of-hand. Our own navy
is still weak, though we are boast
ing of it so much, and feet con-
tributed by the f1owery kingdom
would be a very acceptable gift.
If it comes over, there is nothing
should like better than to have
command of a squadron in Pacific
waters. ."-Ex.

The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-19

Of the doctrines contained in the Omaha
platform is an insult TO the trainers OF
that platform. You disgrace the Peoples
party by the article in the ADVOCATE.
Your recognized leadership must fade,
but it might break forth afresh as q
leader Of anarchists, but not the kind
that the Chicago anarchists were. Your
idea thas love and brotherly kindness
should rule is of a highly moral chsrac-
ter, but it seems the sheep have gotten

oessions TO us we likewise know. Since we
must then rely upon the kindness Of our
masters for whatever redress we have, and
knowing that from them no good may be
expected, there remains but one recourse
force! Our forefathers have not only told
US that against dsspots force is justi6sble,
because it is the only means, but they
themselves have set the immemorial OK

themselves from political oppression, by
force their children will have to iberate

Of special gift of stupidity, understood

from even the issue my critic tenders,
for an entire refusal to think it necessary
to avoid seeing that the trainers OF the
Omaha platform saw no remedy but
force for the wrongs OF the common peo-

izsrs Of the Peoples party ? Was it not
to get control of the government OF the
nation and the government of the states
in order to use these governments for
the purpose OF carrying out the program
set forth in the platform? Very we'll.
The Omaha platform proposes to destroy
"private property" in railroads, tele-
graphs, etc., by making them public
property. How did the trainers OF that
platform mean to accomplish these
things? By persuading railroad and
telegraph companies to voluntarily sur
render their lines? Inc conGrol OF gov
ernmsnt is not necessary il we wish only
to persuade men. The railroads and
telegraphs were to be seized and taken
at q valuation to be fixed by the govern
ment, and to be paid in such manner
and in such money as the government
might see fit to provide. If resistance
should be made to the execution Of this

pie, being in control Of the army and
navy, would overcome that resistance by
force overcome it il need be by killing
