WHAT FRISCO SAYS
OF OUR WALDO ].

The Breeder and Sportsman of De-
cember 20 has the following regarding
the white ghost beloved of local ad-
mirers of a good horse:
On Saturday, December s, Waldo J.,
2:0S, the gray ghost of Santa Paula"
paced his first race since arriving at
his new home in Honolulu and won
with great ease, only having to make
a mile in 2:16 to defeat W. Wood, 2:07,
his opponent. Our Island correspond
ent states that Waldo J. could have
paced close to 2:10 had the track been
fast There is no doubt but the gray
son of Bob Mason is as good a horse
as ever in his life and his showing,
when it is considered that he has had
very little work, is remarkable. He mas
been running out on pasture for year
and was taken UP and shipped to Ho-
nolulu last August. He was fat as a
hog" when he left San Francisco and
Mr.. j. Quinn, to whom he was con-
signed had to go very easy with him
on that account. Should Waldo ]. be
brought back to California next sum
mer and arrive in good condition he
would be able to hold his own with any
of the PAGERS he might meet here. not
excluding Clipper, 2:06; Little Thorne,
2:07A; O'clock. 2:1015, or any of the
crackerjacks that are expected to pace
in 2:05 next year.

MAN WITH MANY
ATHLETIC HONORS

Mortimer /. Stevens, who has come
to live in Honolulu, will be welcomed
by the athletic fraternity. Stevens
has lis medals for athletic perform
ances in which he has distinguished
himself. In general competition at the
Chicago Words Fair in 1893 he won the
Intercollegiate broad jump. clearing the
notable distance of % feet 9A inches.
which stood as the American intercol-
legiate record for four years and has
not been improved more than two
inches since. During 1895 and 1896,
while he was editor of the Cycling Life,
he established at Chicago some remark
able track records with a bicycle. He
rode an exhibition paced mile in 1874
1-5, which was then the Illinois record
but has since been beaten. He rode the
half-mile handicap from scratch in
43 2-5 seconds and the quarter-mile
tandem in 20 Is seconds, both of which
remain the Illinois state cycling rec
ords. While competing as a member
of the Chicago Athletic Club during the
Worlds Fair he made a high dive of
sixty-five feet. which was the second
best performance credited to the nu-
merous contestants. While he was an
undergraduate at the University of
Michigan prlor. to 1892 he held the col
lege championship as lightweight
wrestler, as he trained down in those
days to 122 pounds. though now he
weighs 1872 in condition, and he is al
ways In training.
For two seasons Stevens played left
halfback on the big Michigan varsity,
securing his place on the eleven chosen
from a student body of more than 5000
collegians. Later he played left half
back at the Worlds Fair on the Denver
Athletic Club eleven in the match with
the Chicago Athletic Club. In Colo
RADIO he played with the Denver Ath-
lctic Club team against the Colorado
State School of Mines at Golden against
the celebrated Carlisle Indian football
team made, up of the best athletic
braves among the representatives OF
eighty tribes attending the National
Indian school at Carlisle, Pa, and
against the University of Colorado
team. In addition to his broad jump
ing he was a contestant at Ann Arbor
and at Chicago in the 12O-yard and 20
yard hurdle races.

POLO GAME AT
AT FAIR MOANALUA

The Oahu Polo Club will practice at
Moanalua this afternoon at o'clock.
The following have been appointed a
committee on rules:
Messrs. C. w. Dickey, J. Fleming and
Harrison.
The club is progressing in satisfac-
tory style and there are at present
twelve active and over twice as many
prospective members.
1t has not yet been decided as to
whether the English or American rules
shall obtain. The Maui club uses the
former, but the of-side rule contained
therein is considered by many players
undesirable.
Correspondence is in effect with the
Maui Polo Club concerning challenge

territory by any non-American power.
Our attitude in Cuba is sufficient
guarantee of our own good faith. We
have not the slightest desire to secure
any territory at the expense Of any Of
our neighbors.
The Navy.
The president devotes considerable
space to the navy. the upbuilding of
which, he says, should be steadily con-
tinued. The navy offers us, it is declar-
ed, the only means Of insisting on the
Monroe doctrine, and strong navy is
the best guarantee against war. He
recommends that provision be made
not only for more ships, but for more
men. -Four thousand additional sea-
men and 1000 additional marines
should be provided, as well as an in
crease in officers. After indOrsing the
naval militia forces the president says:
But in addition we should at once
provide for a national naval reserve,
organized and trained under the direc-
ton of the navy department and sub
ject to the call of the chief executive
whenever war becomes imminent. 1t
should be real auxiliary to the naval
seagoing peace establishment and offer
material to be drawn on at once for
manning our ships in time of war.
The Army.
1t is not necessary to increase our
army beyond it's present size at this
time, but it is necessary to keep it It
the highest point of efficiency. The in
dividual units who as officers and en-.
listed men compose this army are, we
have good reason to believe, at least as
efficient as those of any other army in
the entire world. 1t is our duty to see
that their training is of kind to in
sure the highest possible expression of
power to these units when acting in
combination.
A general staff should be created.
Promotions should be made solely
with regard to the good of the service.
Congress ought to provide, the presi-
dent adds, for field exercises. He con.
tinues:
Action should be taken in reference
to the militia and to the raising Of vol.
unteer forces. Our militia law is OBJ.
solete and worthless. The organization
and armament Of the national guard OF
the several states, which are treated
as militia in the appropriations by the
congress, should be made identical with
those provided for the regular forces
The obligations and duties of the guard
In time of war should be carefully de-
fined and n system established by law
under which the method of procedure
of raising volunteer forces should be
prescribed in advance.
The Merit System.
The president indorses the merit sys
TEN Of making appointments and says
l recommend the passage Of a law
which will extend the classified serv
ice to the District Of Columbia or will
at least enable the president thus to ex
tend it. In my Judgment all laws pro
viding for the temporary employment
Of clerks should hereafter contain g
provision that they be selected under
the civil service law.
1t is important to have this svsten
