A CHRISTMAS CUP.
''Undeciding Day" at the
Coursing Park.
There Were Some Good Runs, but
Considerable Doubt i'm Many
Close Cases.

The coursing which commenced yester-
day for the Christmas cup at Ocean View
cannot be said to be the best or mo st
pleasing that has been seen in this park of
late.
Still many of the trials were good-very
good-but from one cause or another there
were too many undecided. There were o
less than seven or eight before the first
five courses were declared settled, besides
the two when the slips broke.
But in justice to young Mr. Grace, who
judged, it must be said that the dogs 10
those courses were pretty evenly matched,
and also that the hares were sngularIy
fond of doubling back and getting in to the
corners. Anyway yesterdays coursing
''nndeciding day."
In the first round (after the undecided)
Bonnie Lass had fine course with Joe
Bowers, beating him with some to spare,
but Joe ran good dog, however. Electric
was too good for Rollalong. Lord Clifton
beat Belmont, but the latter was by no
means disgraced; Stamboul Queen out
paced and out-worked Mary Ann; Long
John beat Dashaway by the narrowest of
margins and poor hare; Maggi M beat
Goodland's Mellow; Kingston beat Mertie
M with ease; Coomassie had great run
with Castaway. but she was entirely too
good for him; Longfellow's course with
Jennie q was q good One-no two dogs
kept so close together in any course during
the day, though Longfellow had all the best
OF it; Jimmy Rex smOthered Tempest;
Wee LassIe did ditto to Peter the Great :;
Maggie L. never left the question in doubt
between herself and Archie NJ Brophy
thrashed Sir John without mercy.
In the second round there were great
upseis, but the fail of Long John was the
greatest OF all. He was selling at So to 81
The first trial was an undecided and in
the second trial he went out strong
favurite at SIS to 50 so. Being slipped he
led TO the hare, but after that the bitch, In
one OF the best courses seen in the park
for many a long day, thrasbed him uD-
merclfully right and left. The hare was
great one, but Maggie M was greater
than either her opponent or the game, as
she killed and won.
There are seven dogs left. in the stake
which will be finished on Sunday next.
namely, Bonnie Lass, Stamboul Queen.
Maggie Nj, Kingston. Longfellow, Wee
Lassle and Brophie
There will be great anxiety and excite
ment 10 see the finish of the match next
Sunday, and OF course there will be an
finished.
A letter has been received from Archie
Merrill saying he is willing to match
Dotty Dinple against Ruby two out of
three courses either in a park or in the
open Tor any sum from S1O0 to $500. Mr..

who follows the occupation Of a nurse.
Some months ago Flora stole diamond

Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Beermann had re-
ported their losses to The police head
quarters and Detective Anthony was de-
tailed to hunt Flora up. He found her at
Mrs. Harris yesterday. and placed her
under arrest. She was booked at the CITY
Prison on the charge of petty larceny. A
portion of the stolen property has been re-
covered.
Mrs. Hart has been very unfortunate
with her nurse-grs. Within four weeks
she has had four different girls, and each
was caught stealing. The one before

petty larceny.

eighteen hours. . Downing carried pine-
teen hours OF heavy engineering work;
Frankenheimer seventeen hours, chiefly

cred the door of Wood. Slade & Thayer's

WILL NOT ACCEPT.
Objection Found TO the Challenge of
Gun Club.

Gun Club.
There was considerable talk at Shell
Mound yesterday over the challenge by
the Missouri Rife and Pistol Club pub
lished in THE CALL. The challenge is for
simultaneous friendly rife match, ten
men on side, twenty shots each man, at
either the twenty-five center German ring
target or the standard American target
reduced to TWEEN ty-ive yards. The matches
will be shot simultaneously and with
22-ealiber rifles of any make.
DR.. Lee ID. Rodgers, the president Of the
Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club, stated that
there we're no indoor galleries here, as the
clubs were able to shoot over an open
range all the year round. There were
moreover, no 22-callber rifles in this Sec
ton heavy enough for the kind of shoot-
ing called for in the challenge. If. how
ever, the Missouri Club wanted an all
round match they could be readily
accom- modated.
Other prominent marksmen expressed
themselves as against accepting the chal-
lenge published yesterday.

Mclaughlin the Winner
at Shell Mound.
He Defeats A. Strecker-The Column
bia Pistol and Rifle Club
Issues It's Medals.

The shooting at Shell Mound was more
interesting than usual yesterday. on ac-
count of the match between D. W. Nc
LaughliD and Adolf Strecker. and the dis
tribution of medals for this year by the
Columbia Pistol and Rife Club. Some
very fine scores we're made by the men,
bers of this organization, but the records
made in the match-shoot were not up to
the average.
match OF fifty shots, ring targets, for
$50 side, was won by MCLAUGHLIN, who
made 1854 to his opponents 1869. The
match can properly be said to have been
between the champions of the Columbia
Pistol and Rifle Club and the California
Schuetzen CLUB. for while Mclaughlin is
connected with both organizations, he was
backed yesterday by the members of the
former club. Strecker was backed by the
Schuetzeu, of which he is a member.
Strecker took the lead at the start, and
it was to all appea RANGES his match until
the thirty-thiId round, when by some acct
dent he made the poor score of IL This
seemed to give Mclaughlin a steadier
eye, for he at once pulled himself together
and shot splendidy for the rest of the
match, while Strecker became rather
cratic.
Mclaughlin is left-hand shooter and
is one of the veterans of the ring-target.
In 1892 he made 1892 against the New
York Club at San Rafael. and in 1893 he
won the first prize at the Worlds Fair.
The Roos medal falls to him this year.
Among his recent performances was his
defeat of ID. B. Faktor, scoring 1896 He
has also won other medals and trophies.
In justice 20 Mr.. Strecker, it must be
stated that he had not practiced recently
as he should, and that he shot yesterday
greatly against his own wish. His best
record Is 452 out of a possible 800. He
stated that he was willing to make another
match with Mclaughlin for $50 or S150 a
side, $50 shots. Such a challenge may be
issued shortly. This is the first time
Strecker has been defeated in Shree years,
In match shoot, his successful opponent
then being j. Utschig.
In addition to the match shoot, the other
clubs were represented, and some fair
scores were made. The Columbia Pistol
and Rife Club wound up the years shoot
ing with dinner at Captain Siebe's, fol-
lowed by the presentation of the four
medals. The various scores follow:

The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

WE present our readers this
morning with the text of the Presi-
dents special message on the Ha-
waiian question. It was sent to
Congress the day the Arawa left
Vancouver, and the newspaper files
received, contained nothing. One
or two copies of Puget Sound
paper of Dec. 18th, however reach
ed town, and Mr.. William Christie.
the agent of the United Press for
warded to Rev. S. E. Bishop a des-
patch containing the message,
which included the last two para
graphs. These were not in the
Victoria paper.
The message justifies in full,
what was stated in the ADVERTISER
EXTRA last Friday, and again in
the regular issue OF Saturday
morning. The matter is now inr
the hands Of Congress. The mes
sage is a formal reference of the en-
tire question to the Legislative body,
to be determined by it as it sees
fit. Mr.. Cleveland, while outlin-
ing his own previous policy
makes no definite recommendation.
The message shows plainly
enough, that Mr.. Willis is
not authorized by the President
to commit any act of war against
the Provisional Government. These
facts will prove a bitter draught to
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-01-02
OUT WITTY THEM.

There is one mora to be drawn
from the revelations d the message
which should not be neglected. We
know now how Mrs. 1ominis and
her advisers and adheents would
have served the members of the
Government and their Importers,
if they had ever got IL chance.
There would have been short shrift
and scant mercy. Let Is learn a
lesson from our foes. This is no
time for the Government to give
aid, comfort and support to its Bit
terest enemies. Let some one else
provide them with the sinews of
war. Philanthropic snake-warm-
ing should be postponed until the
royalist fangs have been drawn.
Let the Government servants be
drawn from the ranks of those who
are true to the Government they
serve. Philanthropy has had its
innings. Give self-pseservation a
chance.
