DELEGATES FROM HAWAII
Four Arrive In SAN Francisco EN-
Route to Philadelphia.

hOnte TO PhiiadeiDhia.
San Francisco. June 13.-IIawaii is
sending delegation to the Republican
convention, but the two delegates and
the alternates who came on the China
are in doubt as to the reception awaiting
them at Philadelphia. Hawaii was not
included in the call for the convention,
as it was not territory at that time.
Furthermore, the delegates were selected
May 81, while the islands were still an
independent republic and less than a
month before the meeting of the nationa.
convention, so that there may be techni-
cal objections to the seating of the dele
gates.
1t was impossible to hold the Hawaiian
conventions at an earlier date. The act
providing a government for the islands
was approved April 30. The news reach
cd the islands ten days later, and the
Republican central committee, which had
just completed an organization, ordered
primaries and conventions in each of the
six districts of the islands, following the
old monarchial divisions. These six dis
trict conventions elected delegates to the
territorial convention held at Honolulu
May 81, some so delegates being present.
About 40 of these We're native Hawai-
ians.
The convention passed resolutions fa-
voring canal across the isthmus of
Panama and IA cable connection between
Hawaii and the United States. A sepa-
rate resolution pledged Republicans to
work for the admission into statehood.
-Four delegates and four alternates to the
national convention were selected by bal
lot, those receiving the greater number
of votes being put first on the list
The convention made the mistake of
assuming that territory would be en-
titled to four delegates instead of two.

Horse Racing on the Stage.

In racing scenes the horses do run al
full speed. They run, however, not on
the fixed stage, but on what may be
called treadmills, which keep the horses
in front of the house for longel or
shorter periods, according as they are
moved quickly or slowly. A picket
fence, placed between the audience and
the course, not only makes the scene
more realistic; it also hides the mechan-
ism of the treadmills. This fence has
contributed in another way to add to
the effect by being moved in opposition
to the direction of the horses and so
lending TO their apparent speed.
AS to the sounds made by the foot
falls of horses to be heard as though
passing outside an interior scene, they
are reproduced by the dried hoofs OF
dead horses or wooden limitations
mounted on handles and hammered
against surfaces of stone, gravel, sod
or whatever the occasion may demand.
They are also more deliberately manu-
featured by revolving a cylinder with
pins protruding from the surface.
These pins are arranged, like the spurs
on q hand organ roller. to initiate trot-
ting, galloping or walking when struck
against other substances. If the sound
of a carriage is to be added to the
trampling of horses. wheels are run on
sand.-CasseliS Magazine.
