HIS LETTER TRAVELLED TEN
YEARS.

A Philadelphia man received a letter
the other day that had been returned
to him after ten years. The envelope
contained a dollar bill, and the circum-
stances connected with its return are of
a decidedly curious nature. Ten years
ago the man was a student at Fordham,
just outside of New York. He was d
puzzler of some repute, and one day he
sent a dollar to Tie publisher of an OBJ
scure puzzle paper, issued in Chicago,
for a years subscription, using the col
fege stationery. He never received any
copies of the paper, and wrote to know
why. He was Informed that his dollar
had never reached the publisher, and
the matter was allowed to drop. In due
time he was graduated and went into
business here. One day last week he
received a communication from the col
lege authorities, inclosing the long
missing letter. which had been returned
to Fordham The dollar bill was intact,
but the original envelope had been adj
dressed to Kansas City instead of Chi
cago, bit of thoughtlessness on his
part which the sender cannot now ex-
plain. Just where the letter has been for
ten years is a good bit of mystery.

POLO PRACTICE
PLEASES PEOPLE
Many Spectators Witness Good
Playing on Moanalua
Turf.

The practice games of polo at Moana-
lua on Saturday developed some very
good playing and the many carriage
loads of spectators were well repaid for
their trip.
There were twelve players on the field,
who were divided into three teams, as
follows:
No John Flemmtng (captain), No. l.
George Fuller No. 2. Cushman Carter
No 3, and Allan Judd No. 4.
No. 2-Henry Damon (captain) No. 2
Albert Judd No. 1, Albert Waterhouse
No. g. and Harold Mott-Smith No A.
No. 3-Charlie Judd (captain) No. 2
VIII Dickey No. 1, Fred. Damon No. 3,
and Kauka Judd No. 4.
The first game was between teams No.
! and No. 2. After ten minutes of ex-
citing play time was called and the
game declared a draw each side having
made one goal.
The second game, between teams No. 2
and No. 8, resulted in a victory for
Charlie Judd's team, two goals to- moth
ing.
The third game, between teams No. 1
and No. 3, resulted in another victory
, for Charlie Judds men, with the same
score as before, two goals to nothing.
This gave team No. first place,
The fourth game was between teams
No. 1 and No. 2 for second place.
Fred. Damon took the place of Albert
Waterhouse on team No. 2 and Dickey
| took the place of Fuller on team No. 1.
The result of this game was a victory for
John Trimmings team, 2 to o.
The playing on the whole was very
good, considering that both men and
horses We're out of practice. as it has
been too rainy for a game for the past
six weeks.
When play was finished the following
team issued a challenge to the field: Ed.
Damon, Albert Judd. Charlie Judd and
Henry Damon. The challenge will prob
ably be taken up by Flemming, Dickey
and two others.

drill and the companies marked accord

liars was perfect. Thet skirmishing and
field maneuvers were also splendid,
and even to those not informed in the
matter of tactics it was quite evident
THAT Company F was to stand high on
the competing list.

given 100 per cent on appearance and

BASKETBALL
Business Men Win Another
Game-Emeralds Lose
by Default.

The exhibition of league basketball
last Saturday night at the Young Mems
Christian Association was not up to the
usual standard of play. But one game
was played, the Emeralds losing by de-
fault to the Stars.
The second game, between the Bust
ness Men and the Intermediates, was
rather one-sided, and only at times did
it take on the aspect OF an evenly
fought match.
Both teams started in well and for
time the playing was fast and furious,
but the Business Men soon got the
range of the basket and began to run
up the score. Towards the end of the
first half the younger men braced, scor-
ing two goals, 50 that the score in the
first half was not so one-sided as 1t
might have been.
Score at end of first half, Business

showed a great lack of systematic team
work and their larger opponents began
