ECCENTRIC BRITISH WAGERs
Bets Mnde, ON the vagnries of the
Weather and the Doing of RI
dfcuIous Things.

Perhaps the most marked character
1stlc OF the Briton is his fontlncss for
Wagering, as is amply demonstrated at
Epson each year. But horse racing is
not the only excuse afforded the Brit
Usher to exercise his mania for betting.
Quite an astonishing number Of an
nual occurrences are made the subject
OF wagering. Years ago, before the
vagaries of the weather had brought
the four seasons into discredit, wager
ing that snow would be found on the
ground on Christmas morning was pop-
ular. Even now, when the weather be-
HAYES. with sublime Indifference to
the time of year, wagcrs are still made
rs to the raining 40 days if st. Swithin's
be wet.
One enthusiastic supporter of this
hoary legend a few years since wag.rcd
all he possessed on one wet anniversary
that there would be rain every day
during the prescribed period. 1t did
rain % days, but the twcnty-third
ruined him. ...
y well-known bookmakcr, who laws
himself out for what he calls ''fancy
wagering" has stated that the amount
Of money which was wagcrcd on the
late Hon. w. L. Gladstone reaching the
age of 90, was simply enormous. He also
says that, being {. believer in the I'M
expected happening in politics, he ac-
ccpted at the time of the homc-rulc split
IN the liberal party three waycrs of
$4,000 to $1,000 each that Mr.. Cham
berlain would one day be prime min
lister Of England. The stakes are de
posted in u bank under u deed which
provides for the drawing of the interest

p!res.
Costume balls at Covcnt garden have
led TO some curious wagering. In ac-
cordtnce With the terms of one last
year q person presented himself for

one side and Il negro on the other. One
side OF his face was white, rougol and
powdered, the other backed Tic lady

greatly amused with the careful man

At the end of three hours the pudding

A VIEW YACHT CLUB.

Tn. movement to form yacht club,
reported elsewhere, Is sound one.
The boating fraternity Is well provided
for by the existing clubs. but expert
ence here as well as elsewhere has
demonstrated that yachting affairs
need a strictly yachting club to best
forward the interests Of the sport. 4
previous attempt to form a yacht club
with Pearl Harbor as headquarters.
failed solely by reason of financial
strinaency at the time. Since then
the number OF yachts has largely in
creased, there being now nearly thirty
in and about Honolulu Harbor, and
the financial condition of the commu-
nifty fully warrants the necessary ex,
penditure.
There Is no more exhilarating or
healthful sport than yachting, and a
distinctly yachting club will develop
and strengthen interest therein to a
greater extent than any other method.
There Is every indication that the
club proposition will be promptly
pushed through to an early success.
Here's luck TO the promoters. May
the club soon be established. and long
