WELLER RAN A
MILE IN E43 ~
Yesterday Prince David's Horse
Went Fastest Mile Ever Done
in Hawaii.

The sensation at the track yesterday
| was furnished by Prince David's Wei
Ter, winch has in the past performed
creditably over a route longer than a
| mile. OF late rumors have been cur
rent that Weller was a mailing good
miller, that he was several pounds bet
ter than his stable companion Vioris
at mile, and that he could run that
distance in time little worse than 1:40
son of Knight of Allister proved that
these rumors We're not entirely devoid
of truth.
The horse was brought on to the
track before o'clock yesterday morn
ing with his trainer, Jim McAuliffe, in
the saddle. He was Immediately cut
loose. and went to the three-quarter
pole in 1:151s, or half a second better
than the Island record. Running the
last quarter in :2S, he finished the mile
in 1:4332, out to the last ounce. This
is undoubtedly the fastest mile ever
run in Hawaii. The existing record is
Las, made by Vioris last year in the
race for the Rosita challenge cup.
Prince David witnessed the horses
performance.
Violin yesterday worked a mile in
2:21, last half LOS.
The six furlongs match between Vir-
gle and Aggravation is made at last.
The money all went up yesterday The
race will be for $3.50 side, and will
take place next Saturday week
On Tuesday Virgie A worked three
quarters in 1:21h.
The following is clipped from the
Chronicle of the 9Th instant:
Sec" Nichols, jockey, was arrest
ed yesterday on the complaint of JOS
eph Baruh, 900 Market street, who &C
cuses him of stealing a Dalmatian
coach dog, valued at 5000. Baruh al
leges that Nichols left here on April
80 1900, for Honolulu, taking the dog
with him. He returned here a few
weeks ago, but left the animal behind
He was locked up an charge Of grand
larceny.
Both dog and jockey are well known
locally. The canine is a white animal
Enthusiastically spotted with white, and
was at the track all last summer.
Prince David is now said to be the
owner of the dog. Nichols, during his
sojourn here, was connected with some
equine dogs" which would have been
beaten by the piebald Fido in a true
run race with both jockeys trying.
Otto Crib, the welterweight cham
pion of Australia, passed through here
on the Sierra. Crib is returning from
San Francisco, where he defeated
Frank Mcdonnell, and sustained dou-
BILE defeat at the hands of Thurston
The fighter dropped in at the Ad-
vertiser office last night and exchanged
the time of day. In appearance he is
of the "Ruhe' type, but physically, he
has certainly been greatly favored.
Crib says that the fight managers
in San Francisco did not give him a
fair deal as regards money matters. He
is going to Australia to attend to some
business matters, and expects TO return
to the States in July to fight Matty
Matthews, of Philadelphia, for the well
terweight championship. The fight will
probably take place in Denver and the
winner will get $4,000, while $500 goes
to the loser.
Crib thinks that Tim Hegarty will
surely whip McGovern. He has seen
both men fight, and says that Hegarty
is one of the fighting wonders of the
world. To quote him:
Ell go right arfter I'm and ell
knock is bloomin' cad off. Els as
quick and clever as McGovern, and
stronger. and I'll bet my larst tanner
on inn
Otto Crib is considered to be one
of the hardest fighters that Australia
has ever turned out. His opinion of
his countryman is at least interesting
