Grow Egyptian Cotton.

United States Consul General Pen
field, at Cairo, Egypt. has made a re-
port TO the state department, at WASH
ingtOn. which will. from its impor-
lance. be made the subject of Il spe-
cial publication calling attention to
the rapid growth of Egypt as a com
petitOr with the United States for the
cotton markets of the world.
Some time ago Mr.. Pentield made
a similar report. 1t having failed to
secure the attention which he thinks
tNn subject demands. he once NOR"
: the cotton producers in this
country to meet this competition.
At present Egyptian cotton is sold
at Alexandria for two cents a pound
more than the price of American cot
ton. and owing to the superiority of
the Egyptian product it is being pur-
chased in quantities for export to the
United States. and its sale has in
creased very rapidly during the last
few years.
Mr.. Penlicld urges that efforts he
made by planters 10 grow the Egyp-
tian long staple cotton in this COun-
try, holding that there must certainly
be som" portion adapted TO its growth,

the RraZOS river section in Texas.

All the beneficiaries of the organiza-

BASE BALL.
Good Sized Audience and Game
Worth Gong to See.

Several hundred people witnessed
the ball game between the Rams and
the Stars Saturday afternoon. Light
showers fell, but did not interfere
with playing. Both clubs had strong
support in the grand stand. Many be-
lieved the Star club would win, but
no one thought the scores would be
so far apart. A report that Pitcher
Hart of the Stars was under the
weather assured the friends of the
Rams, and they were confident of the
success of the old champions.
The Rams won the toss and the bat.
First inning-A. Pahau was struck out
by Hart. S. Koki flew out at first.
Kaanoi drove the ball to second. 1t
was missed by Conradt, picked up by
Pryce, C. f., and thrown to w. Wilder,
S., who had taken position on Sec

Dagger, scoring Willis. H. Wilder went
out at first; Hart scored. Lishman
dropped a fly into the hands of Ma
koinoku, l. f., retiring the Stars with
two runs.
r. Pahau's capture of fly by a hard
run was one of the best plays. The
applause was frequent and all were
pleased, only regretting the Rams
were not in form.
The remainder of the game was
characterized by good playing on the
part of the Star club, and nervousness
onthe side of the Hams. A number
of serious errors were made by the
latter, giving the Stars several runs.
The score at the close stood: Kane
hamehas, 6; Stars, Is. Next Saturday
the First Regiment and HoGolulu
teams will play.

SHARkEY WRITES.
Tells d Friend in Honolulu How
He Was Hit.

The ey-F'itzsimmOns boxing
contest that took place in San Fran
cisco Wednesday, December I'd. result
ed in Sharkey being knocked out in
the seventh round, but the referee ruled
the finishing blow was foul and the
contest was awarded to Sharkey.
San Francisco seems very much
wrought up over the matter, and the
money to be paid the winner is still
in the Shareholders hands.
Sharkey is well known here, and by
the Australia p. J. Ryan, now in Ho-
noIulu, who trained him for the boxing
contest with CoTbett, received the fol-
lowing letter:
Dear Friend:
Doubtless ere this reaches you, you
viii have heard the news of my victory,
as well as the unfortunate circum-
stances connected with il, as l honest
~ assure you they were such as to
leave me in the most miserab Ie state
that a human being ever suffered.
Paddy, when l say l am at a loss to
frame words to express the agony /
have gone through since the foul blow
was struck, / am, in my opinion, as
we'll as those of the public at large,
putting it in mild form. That a foul
blow was struck and / was unfortunate
enough to receive same, there is alb
sOlutely no doubt whatever. Some of
the most prominent physicians in this
country have thoroughly examined me,
and have given the press their word
that the blow that caused my collapse
was one of the most foul ever delivered.
This, in itself, tells more than | can,
as / remembered nothing until after l
reached the hotel, some three-quarters
of an hour later. With the exception
of the foul blow, 1 received no bruises
to speak of at all. Yes, there was one,
and that is over my left eye which
FitZsimmons inflicted with his elbow,
and on technicalities should have given
me the fight, as it also is deemed a
foul.
Well, Tom; | will send you Cor rath-
er bring) you the newspaper which tell
it all, so you can see for yourself. For
as soon as 1 am physically in a condi- !
tion l contemplate; in fact, am sure, l
will make trip to Honolulu, when l
hope to be able to tell you all.
/ will close; with best wishes, from |
your friend, THOS. J. SHARKEY.
