tiers ut n large hotel at La Punta, n
narrow neck of land jutting into the
Pacific. four miles from Callao. At that
time there was 10 cable communica-

service was very poor, and frequently
a month would pass without news from
home. British and German vessels did
all the carrying trade, so that every
thing seemed fOrcign-nothing remind

Americans were gathered on the hotel
balcony. Nearly five weeks had pass
ed since letters had come from home.

nothing more or less than the discus
itself. Some Of the Americans who Wis.

for something new In sport, however,
and throwing the discus, combining rs
