CHAMPIONSHIP STRUGGLE
w. GODFREY BEATS T.. WODE-
HOUSE A.>D QUALITIES.
Pacific Club Likely to Furnish the
Winner-Doubles Next Week-La-
dies Day.

The winner of the general tennis
tournament will undoubtedly be the
champion, for Walter Dillingham's
friends declare positively that he will
not compete for this years honors, al
lowing the championship to go by de-
fault
Now that Godfrey has shut out
Ernest Wodehouse of the Beretania
Club, there is only one other PLAYER
outside of the Pacific Tennis Club who
has any chance to carry off the hon
ors of this years tournament. He is
DR.. y. f. Nichols of the Valley Ten
mis- Club. After Willie Godfrey had
defeated Wodehouse in most excit-
ing game, during which the widest
enthusiasm was displayed, that prom
ising young player met DIR. Nichols.
Godfrey had won the first set by a
score of to 4, and Nichols had won
two games in the second set, when the
game was necessarily postponed until
today on account of a heavy rainfall.
On the Beretana courts II. Water
house (P) defeated G. p. Wilder (P3.
The score was 6-1 in each set. f. r.
Adams (P) won over j. T. Waterhouse
(P) in two sets. w. H. Coney (P) won
over S. G. Wilder (P) on the Pacific
courts after a hard fought game.
Wilder Wight (P) bested George Cart
er (P) in two sets. ID. Howard Hitch
cock (P) defeated c. w. Dickey (P)
by score of Ga and 6-s.
Today's matches will be played on
the Pacific Tennis courts. The con-
test, which has been so spirited from
the beginning, has narrowed down to
four matches. The four winners of
these matches will meet on the Pacific
courts on Monday afternoon, and two
more players will be weeded out. The
remaining two winners will then try
conclusions and whoever comes out
ahead will be champion, should Mr..
Dillingham; decide not to play.
Godfrey and Nichols will complete
their match today. Harry Waterhouse
will play the winner. At o'clock
Wilder Wight and w. II. Coney will
try conclusions. An hour later Chas.
Hyde and ID. II. Hitchcock and L. II.
Adams and Willie Roth will be in pos
session of the courts.
1t is almost the unanimous opinion
of tennis observers that Hyde and
Godfrey will be the ones to fight for
the tournament prize.
The doubles will surely begin on
Wednesday. Singlehurst and Ross of
the lieretania Club will be heard from.
The ladies' singles will take place
next week. Miss May Hart, the cham
pion of last years tournament, may
meet the winner.
Tennis men are talking up a fall
tournament.

MONEY

makes the mare go, is a we'll
known saying. We have some
thing that will make the sor-
riest old nag ever hitched to a
wagon go at a regular racing
gait, and for very little money
at that. Our Carriage Whips
can be had in almost any
quality and price, from 81
to,$3.5O.
We have still a good stock of
Cart and Buggy Harness
to suit the purse of anybody;
we sell frst-class harness for
SIG and then "there are others"
better in quality at $25, $50
and $35.
Young men like to take their
best girl out for drive, and
the beautiful moonlight nights
we are justnow enjoying, invite
amorous swains to go a moon
ing with their lady loves.
We have a dandy looking
Dog Cart that is just the
thing for a drive around the
park; it is easy riding, com
Portable, with plenty of room
for two. 1t is the only one Of
it's kind in Honolulu, and as
we are not in the carriage
business, we do not intend to
get any more, so you do not
run the risk of having the
same style as everybody else.
Will be sold very cheap.
By the last Australia we
received a lot of Brass Stir
rups, light and neat looking,
and besides carry a full assort-
aent of Carriage Sponges,
Chamois Skins, Lap Robes,
Bits, Buckles, ETC., Etc.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE LARGE
NEWSPAPERS THERE,
Interesting Talk With One of the
Special Correspondents Who Came
Here on the Cruiser Naniwa.

The five newspapers correspondents
er Naniwa represent the five largest
daily papers in Japan, al of them pub
lisht1 in Tokyo. These papers COM
pare favorably in size and circulation
ttvith some of the great papers of the
United States, especially the Jill Shin
po, which employs, on its local pages,
nearly four score writers and artists.
S. Furuya, the youthful correspondent
of the Kokumut Shimbun told a
Star man some very interesting things
about the press of his country.
The leading newspapers of
Japan" he said, "try to keep abreast
of the times in every department. We
employ on our papers only university
men, and most of them can read and
write English, French and German.
Noted writer's command big pay, and
the rank and file of the reporters are
well paid. Our mechanical depart
ment is up to date in every particular.
For instance, the Jii, Shimpo is print
ed on a press that can print thirty-two
pages at one time, running at high
speed, and cutting, pasting and fold
ing the papers after they they are
printed.
'My company, in addition to the
daily, prints a bi-weekly and two
monthlies, both of the latter in Eng
lish. We employ 1OS writer's, all told,
and a staff of fifteen or twenty art
lists. Our daily, and, in fact, almost
every other daily in Tokyo, only is
sues six days week, the Monday
edition being omitted. But l think
that all of the papers will soon issue
paper on every day in the year. The
Kokumut Shimbun commenced get
ting out Monday morning issue the
first of this month, and will hereafter
issue every day. The Kokumu Shin
bun will soon commence the issue of
an English edition, which. we think.
will have wide circulation in Japan.
great many Japanese can read Eng
lish, and those who can are anxious
to exercise their knowledge at every
opportunity. The two English papers
published in Tokyo at the present
time are run by Japanese. They are
merely translations from the other
papers. y number of English papers
in Yokohama are issued on the same
plan. They are all run by English
men.
eve print quite a lot of foreign
news, most of it collected by our own
correspondents abroad, and our scis-
sors editors and translators find plenty
to do. The work of Japanese artists
differs very widely from that of Ame-
rican artists, but it is, perhaps, Just
as satisfactory from the Japanese
point of view. During the recent dis
cussion of the Shinshu Maru incident,
we had pictures of the city and har-
Dor, and the Quarantine station.
While not so profusely illustrated as
some Aemerican papers. our news
papers try to keep abreast of the
times"

NEW DEPARTURE on CALLING
DAYS PROPOSED.
Vice Versa Card Party-Irwin Dinner
Strangers Friend Society Meets
Future Eevnts.

Socially speaking, it has been an
exceedingly quiet week. The glorious
moonlight evenings Characteristic of
the week just closing, have failed to
give their usual impetus to social af-
fairs. The brilliant domino party
given by the young men out at the
beach residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Rob.
ert Levers was fully described in
Saturdays daily. So successful was
the party, that there is some talk of
repeating it.
The Vice Versa Card Club spent a
thoroughly enjoyable evening with
the Misses Sorenson at their home in
Nuuanu on Monday evening. The
club will meet again one week from
Monday evening.
On Thursday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
William G. Irwin entertained at din
ner. The usual yearly social of the
Strangers Friend Society was given
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Neumann. Mrs. S. NJ. Damon very
clearly explained the objects of the
society, as well as the progress it had
made.
Last evening the regular moonlight
dance given by the Healani boat boys
took place. There was large attend
ance and plenty of fun. The japanese
merchants of Honolulu banquetted
Capt. Kurooka and the officers of the
Naniwa at the Hawaiian Hotel.

The Best Typewriter.

1t has proven to the satisfaction
of the business world that the
PEERLESS is the best Type
writer on the market. Why?
Primarily because it never gets
out of order, leaving correspon-
dence in a chaotic condition on the
busiest day, and among many other
reasons, because Of its lightness of
touch and quick response to the
keys, its lightning paper release,
its arrangement for doing tabulated
work and for sundry matters of con-
venience which we will be pleased
to show and explain if you will call.

on its bosom. A rustic bridge spans the

its various departments until it is
now one OF the largest and most
complete printing establishments in
the inter-mountain region.
The latest addition Of the plant
consists OF FIVE Mergenthaler limo
types, which are now being set up.
The management of the News was
very reluctant to replace the COM
positors with machines; but the pres
sure to do so has become resistless,
and hereafter the type of this paper
will be set by machinery principally,
This will enable it to give to its
readers a greatly increased service,

ways. With this new equipment

A few words of retrospect relative
to different men who have filed the
position OF editor of the News, may
not be undressing to its present
readers. Willard Richards was the
first editor, and he occupied the pos
ition from the date of the first issue,
June 18th, 1850, until his death.
March II, 1854. He was a man
of cultivated literary tastes and un.
usual refinement and ability. He
was succeeded by Albert Caring,

three columns each. The quantity
of reading matter contained in it
was exceedingly small, but the pres
ent generation can hardly realize
the Joy and pride with which its APP
pearancc was greeted by the isolated
community inhabiting Salt Lake and
adjacent valleys. Though small it
was a means of intercommunication
which the people in their isolated
condition appreciated far more than
they have any journalistic enter
prise since inaugarated among them.
Horace X. Whitney set the type and
Brigham II. Young worked the
press, for the first issue.
In 1882 a larger press was
brought to Salt Lake City, with
a quantity OF type, and added to
the News plant; and in the same
year Almon w. Rabbit, brought to
