we tried hard to view one thing thor

short we went as bees from flower to
flower and trust that some at least OF
the sweets we gathered will remain in
our hives Our first visit was, of course,
to the Hawaiian Education Exhibit with
its concomitants in the way of Island
produce Our aloha to Major Potter was
answered by that gentlemans taking is

education Of the Hawaiian people, to

French people on our progress. The Ma

the latest news from home. giving Us
i his file of latest papers to read. At an
other visit we had the pleasure of see

afterwards we called on Mrs. Irwin at

Bath, Me. July ga special to the
Times from Five Islands says:
The village of Five Islands was
thrown into great excitement this
noon over the reported elopement of
ElbridSe Southland and Miss Edith
Rowe. Both of the young people are
well known in this village and their
families the best known on the island
Miss Rowe is the daughter of H. G

a carpenter by trade, % years OF age
Miss Rowe is only Is years of age, a
very handsome blonde She has rosy
cheeks, laughing eyes and is no doub,
the belle of the islands. She has al
ways attended the schools here and has
not Yet completed her education.
The story of the elopement is as fol
lows: Wednesday morning, young
Southland told his friends that he was
going up to Bath for the day. He
joined the steamer Nahanada on hel
regular morning trip to Bath at the
landing here about 8 o'clock. He spen,
the day quietly in the Shipping city
and that night took the Sagadahoc foi
Boston.
Miss Edith. at noon on the same day
expressed a great fondness for hei
aunt. who lives at Georgetown Center
and got friend TO drive her over, tell
ing her mother that she would probab-
ly stop all night. She visited her aunt
but only very briefly and went onto
Hinckley's Landing where she boarded
the Damarin for Popham on her even.

her beloved.
News Of the young couples depart

Miss ROwc's friends, finding that She
and Southland Were-both gone. then told
Lermond Rowe. the brother Of the girl
that his sister had told them of hen
intended flight and that there was M
doubt i'm their minds that before this
noon they were married in Boston Mr.
Rowe hastily drove to the Center to hi.

The outcome is awaited with mucl
interest. but as Mr.. Southland is an in

young man the people here believe thai
sooner or later all will be forgiven. not
withstanding the girls parents hat
forbidden his paying attention To then
daughter and tried in every way tC

INTEREST IN PUGn1ssr.

Boxing was never so popular as Il
is at present, but it will quickly lose
its popularity unless something is done
to re-establish public confidence In its
honesty. If fighters knew that they
were being watched while they were
training as we'll as when they were
fighting they wouldn't go into a ring
unfit to do their best, as Cans is said
to have done, and if they knew that
it would be impossible for them on
their hackers to make any money by
their laying down or not fighting an
they should there would be no incen-
tive for crooked work.
If the managing editors of newspa.
pers would ascertain for their papers
whether man was training properly
or not instead Of printing oft lying
statements of the press agents of clubs
they would do the sporting public q
service Of inestimable value.
Few people have any idea of the
great interest taken in pugilistic con-.
tests, especially when these contests
are between noted men of the ring. Z

would have happened to him. / think

Foxhall Keene thinks that under the
circumstances Sloan did no harm by
riding at Tanforan. AS his license Is
not revoked he considers he is in good

license and Is refused.
Col. Thomas Ochiltree expressed sur.

should have permitted Sloan to ride,
but at the same time he did not think
that their permission would have any
effect on the case when it came before
the Jockey club.
