In England. where men have more
time for everything. including revenge,
some queer methods of playing even
have come into the courts.
Albert Bewdley of Leeds had dog
that howled at night. A naturalist next
door did not like it, but had no legal
recourse.
One day ants of the minute red vari-
ETY. began to overrun Bewdley's house.
Nothing that could be done headed
them off. They grew worse and worse.
BE had made up his mind to break his
lease and move when one night he
heard a noise in his dining room. Slip
ping down. he found the naturalist
emptying a bag of ants on the floor.
In court the naturalist paid damages,
but he did il smilingly.
Rowley. the late English violinist,
was hard to beat on his perseverance
against one who had incurred his Ill
will.
RowIey had a quarrel with horse
dealer named Brant. 1t was a trivial
matter, but Rowley took the next house
TO Brant, set up piano. bought cor
net and proceeded TO make insomnia
for Brant.
After one or two assault cases in
court Brnnt moved. Rowley bought
out the next door neighbor and follow
ed with piano and cornet. Brant went
TO law, but found he could do nothing.
Failing. he took detached house. Then
Rowley hired brass bands and organs
and assailed him. This was actionable.
and Rowley paid fl, 900 for his revenge.

the 100 yards. the hurdles and the nigh

the hurdles. the 100 yards, and 20e

he met and beat T. Y. Wright, the

ASSOCIATION
TOCSIN SOUNDS

The commencement of the Association
football season is heralded by chal-
lenge to- hand from the "'Makiki
Eleven who are open to try conclu-
sions with any team in Honolulu
The ''Gakiki Eleven" has been or
ganiZed by players residing in that dis
trict and among those who will play for
this combination are r. Anderson, Nc
Gill. Boyle, Munro and Soper. Several
new plasers are also being introduced,
for the team does not rely upon any
particular stars, but expects by earnest
practice and continuous training to
develop ont of the material available a
team that will win for itself a good
position sa the league
1t is probable that r. Anderson Will
captain eElis eleven, and it is to be hop
ed that aGther prominent players will
now bestir themselves in a decided
effort to bring teams together and make
the Association football season an
even greater success than it was last
year
If Blackman, Morse and Goudie coulo
each nI0Stef ten men HnueF their Dan
ner, men who would. practice together
and make themselves proficient in the
game, some excellent sport would bt
assured. There is certainly sufficien
talent IN Honolulu to form four good
teams An that is required is tina
some OF the better known players tak'
a lead In the matter Once the ball il
started rolling, and a few well-matchet
games played, the players will quickl!
become Interested in the success 0
their respective teams and find time 70
the necessary practice.
1t would be great pity if the Asso
citation game should get a setback thi
season from lack of a little effort, AM
; it is to be hoped that tke challeng
thrown out by the ''Makiki Eleven
will be speedily taken up.
