before the kindly natives had offered to
appoint them hereditary chiefs, with the
privilege of marrying into few of the
first families. En- route to Samoa the
Humphrey and Danger islands were
touched and at Apia they rested for
few days and then started for the Fiji
group.
Australia is the next stopping place,
and here the captain intends delivering a
few lectures, and possibly will place the
boat on exhibition. Mr.. Luxton represents
the literary end of the expedition, and
he will not take part in this part OF the
programme He will when London Is
reached, write book dealing with the
adventures encountered on the voyage,
which will be illustrated with the photo
graphs taken en- route. From Australia
and New Zealand the canoe will be point
ed for Europe. and it is the intention or
the voyage to visit st. Helena, and, II
possible, elude the vigilance of the Brit
ish guards and secure an interview with
the Boer general, Cronje, VINO is imprIs-
= oned there. They expect to reach London
in thirteen months from the time the
start was made, and from there the Jour
ney home will be made by steamer.
Norman Luxton was born with love
for adventure implanted in him. When a
mere slip of a lad he was accustomed to
spend his summers on long canoe trips,
undertaken alone generally, and some
times he would be absent from home for
months at time. One of these trips he
explored the upper reaches of the Sas-
katchewan river, meeting only Indians,
and occasional Hudson bay traders on
the journey. He was also an ardent hum
ter, and on his many trips into the prairie
became quite expert in animal and bird
lore, several articles from his pen being
valued contributions to Sports Af1eld and
other Eastern periodicals. Between hunt
ing trips he found time to do some news
paper work on the Winnipeg Free Press,
of which his father, W. F. Luxton, late
ngeneral manager of T h e Clio b e. was
the publisher and proprietor.
1t is, however, as an expert trap shot
that he is best remembered in Winnipeg,

Capt. ]. c. Voss, a ,seakr of long exps-
rience, and man who once attempted
to sal! to Paris from Victoria, 3. c., in
a boat not much larger than the one in
which he is now making his perilous
voyage. That trip came to disastrous
end at a South American port, all of
the four passengers being stricken with
yellow fever. Two of them died, and the
captain made his way back to the hctel
he owned in Victoria with his son, both
of them with shattered nerves and weak
ened constitutions.
The dauntless spirit of the old sea cap
tain was not cowed, however, and when
young LuXton, who is twenty-eight years
of age. proposed a journey to LONDON
in an Indian canoe he entered into the
venture with all his old-time entnusi-
aSm.
Early in the spring Of this year the
two took a trip up the Columbian coast
in a search of suitable craft. Five
hundred miles up they came across the
very thing they were looking for in the
shape of a large dugout, OH which sew
eral Indians had worked at odd times
for two years. their only tools being a
knife and fire. 1t was not quite finished.
and by offering a good price for the
boat they persuaded the Indians to re-
model it to suit their purpose.
This done the two took charge and

ideas will make the games of 1904 easily
the greatest series of athletic contests
the world has ever seen, and previous
figures as to attendance of spectators and
variety and scope of the events will be
discounted Even Mr.. Thompson wide
experience in such matters had not led
him to expect that things would be car
ried out on such a scale.
The standard athletic events will not be
the only events on the programme. Com
petitions between fire companies frem all
the principal cities of the world will
doubtless be prominent. Police depart
ments from all over the globe will prob
ably be represented in Chicago at that
time. Contests of skill and daring among
ire and vice fighters in this and other
cities will be cultivated until the year
of the games arrives. {
Aquatic sports will also have their full
share of attention. In this also the OHM
plan games to be held in Chicago will be
unique The swimming, high diving and
water polo contests during the sports
mems show last winter were some of
the greatest attractions of that very
successful exhibition. The swimming

BILLIARD EXPERTS TO MEET.
Glow and Spears VIII Leave for Far

go Today.
Charles B. Glow, the local billiardist
and George Spears, of Minneapolis, will
leave this morning for Fargo, N. D., to
open the play in the four-cornered bill
lizard contest for the championship of
the Northwest. The other entries are
Hatley. of Duluth, and Peterson, of Far
go. Glow will play Peterson Monday
night. and Spears will play Peterson the
next night. There will be matches in
Duluth, st. Paul and Minneapolis, and it
is expected that the much-disputed
championship of the Northwest will be
definitely settled.
The men are well known in billiard cir
cles especially Glow, Spears and Hat
ley. Spears is quite an expert fancy
pool and billiard shot and also the cham
pion pool player of the Northwest. Hat
ley has taken on some of the best men in
the country.
1t is expected that every game will be
closely contested and that the games will
result in some of the best playing ever
seen in the Northwest. The local enthus-
lasts have great hopes of Glow. who is
in fine shape, having been playing a
better game late ly than ever before. His
friends declare ne will be in the money.
The first prize is $500 and a medal hung
up by the Brunswick-Balke-C Gale lender
company valued at $500. The second
prize is $500.
