large crowd Was in attendance The
strong wind which blew from the south
had a tendency TO keep the racers from
making as good time by two minutes as
they would have made had the day been
calm.
By o'c.ock the grand stand vas well
filed with the beauty and gallantry Of
the city. As rule the ladies' were pull
ing for Crib, while the gentlemen were
favo-ing Musse,man. As is usual, a wo-
mans intuition selected the winner. and
their faces were radiant when Crib came
in a quarter of mile to the good. The
ladies' backed their favorite by wagering
boxes OF candy, gloves. ice cream and
ether articles which are dear 10 the fem
kline heart.
A few minutes pas. three. Messrs. Nus
su,man and Crib came on 10 the track
looking the picture Of physical strength.
Their skin was a beautiful pink and
each seemed very confident OF victory.
Each knowing they had trained honest
ly, ard they were ready for the word.
Mr.. Mussalman started from in front OF
the grand stand, while NJ. Crib took his
place az the half mile post. Crib wore
the crimson in honor OF the Weary Wan
dering Wobbly Whites, while Musselnan
carried the colors OF the Select knights OF

the s:owest mile. riding the first mile in

tween the seventh and sixteenth miles he
did some faster riding. He saw that the
race was his and did not ride as fast as
ne should have done toward the last.
Musselnnan seemed to set his pace q little
tco fast. as he gradually dropped down
from 2:20 clip to about a three minute
gait.
Crib rode a wheel which was made by
A. NJ. Carr OF this city especially for
him, while MUsseimar rode an Ariel
racer. Cash Henderson was on hand and
was offering odds OF one hundred to eight
on Crib before the race was half over

WOMEN WILL SHOOT.
A Fifty Yards Target Lately Fin
ished at Kakaako.

Now it turns out that the ladies have
become fond of shooting and want to
have their skill at craftsmanship test
ed at regularly constructed butts. Ii
is possible that the N. G. H. may soon
claim a company of women.
Not long since, Captain Wall of the
Sharpshooters Company, ordered SO
yards target placed at the Sharp
shooters butts. This has just been
completed The primary object was to
have place for revolver practice, but
since the women have asked to be
allowed chance, they are to be given
what they wish, small bore rifles will
be used.
In the States, teams of women short
against teams of men, the former using
so yards targets with small bore rifles
and the latter, 200 yards targets with
the usual rifles.

The Physical Department Committee
of the Y. NJ. C. A met Wednesday noon
and discussed plans for the opening Of
the gymnasium. They decided that
since the departure of Dr. C. c. Ryder,

flee at the corner of Beretania and
Alapai streets.
Next week, from October 4th to Oc-
tober 10th, will be taken up with the
medical examinations and enrolment
in the classes. All those entering the
gymnasium classes or taking work in
the gymnasium will have to present a
certificate from some reputable physi-
clan, and may receive an examination
of the associations examining physi-
clan by getting a card from the Gen
eral Secretary. All who are intending
to take up this years work are urged
to get the examination certificates next
week and begin with the work the
week after.
Secretary Coleman, with the commit
tee, has arranged a very interesting
class schedule for the season, and one
that will suit every one. The junior:
will meet Monday and Thursday after
moons, and business men at 4:3O o'clocl
the same day.
The young men will meet Tuesda!
and Friday nights in elementary ant
advanced classes. Thursday night will
be devoted to recreation; basketball

ferent members for individual work
A series of indoor contests will also b.
arranged in such events as rope skip
dash, rope climb, shot put, fence vanlt
potato race, etc. A good variety will b.
given to the work, so every one viii
certainly be suited.

particularly affected, because the Chi
nese are not sufficiently advanced to
handle steamers, but with Japan it is
different l know that there are at
least a dozen small steamers in Japan
waters that are now idle, but which
could be made profitable in the inter-
island trade.
Considering our numbers, why
should we not be represented in this
respect. The scheme was discussed
last year, and Mr.. ShimiZu was in
structed by Yokohama capitalists to
apply for letters of denization, so he
could become the flag owner, but the
request was refused. I wrote him by
the Gaelic today of the China case, and
| think the matter will be revived.
There are a half-dozen intelligent Jap
anese, Hawaiian-born, who are in ev-
cry way capable of becoming flag
owners of ships in the same way that
Mr.. Macfarlane did, and under the rul-
ing of the Court I do not suppose the
Custom House officers would deny their
right"
Minister Cooper declined to give his
views on the decision, as he had not
vet read it over carefully, and would
neither corroborate or deny the opin-
ions expressed. q did what I could to
fight the issuance of the registry; did
not think Colonel Macfarlane had
either proved citizenship or ownership
two, to me, essentials in acquiring a
registry for foreign vessel. But the
Courts have decided otherwise, and l
do not care to make any criticism"
