VIRGINIA LANDS.

In our local columns recently 1t was
stated that a citizen of Minnesota had
come to Richmond thoroughly sick OF his
experiences In the land of blizzards. and
determined to make his homo under the
sunny skies OF the Old Dominion. He has
quit Minnesota for good. Will purchase
fern near Richmond, and will spend his
remaining days in this good land.
we believe that there are hundreds and
thousands of men In the bleak regions OF
the Northwest who would follow this
mans example IL Virginia would take
tho trouble to go after them and show
them the Inducements offered here. We
have large areas OF unoccupied lands. and
they are selling at a ridiculously low price.
Now that farm labor Is becoming scarcer
we need more than we ever needed farm
ers who will take up small bodies OF land
and work them with their own hands.
We make the mistake of surprising that
outsiders know all about our bargains
without advertising them. But this Is
big country and If we expect people to
know all about Virginia lwe must carry
the information to them. Here and there
a man Will find out for himsell, Dut these
are the few. The many are to be reached
by judiclous advertising and personal 80
.licitation.

The Presidents feat last Saturday In
riding horseback sixty miles from Laramie
to Cheyenne has this early raised dis
clsson Of his ability as horseman ne
compared with other occupants Of the
presidential chair. The Springfield Repub-
lican thinks Mr.. Roosevelt Is not the
equal Of Washington or Grant in this re-
spect. 1t says General Grant was one
of tho best horsemen that ever served In
the United States army. This will be
news to great many people who were
under the Impression that General Grant
was clumsy rider. lacking In horseman-
ship and a stranger to grace in the sad-
die. The Republican adds. with full re-
spect for President Roosevelt's equestrian
ability, It is probably Just to say that he
would not rank higher than third among
the Presidents of the United States as
horseman. Both Washington and Grant
were surely his superiors in this line, for
they were horse trained from early child
hood. and both were natural lovers Of
horsenesh."
We are of the opinion that Andrew
Jackson was something Of a horseman,
and 1t is to be doubted II Mr.. Roose-
welt is his eqaul in the saddle.

LANDER,s CAREER.

Guy Landers whom the cable states
had been arrested in Butte, Montana,
for forgeries committed on Honolulu
banks, came here from Georgia where
his parents live, last October, He Sc
cured a position at Eva plantation re-
presenting that his father was a Louis
lana planter and that he had come here
to study island methods of sugar Gull
ture. He opened an account with tht
First National Bank and with a num-
Der of firms in Honolulu. He left Ho-
nolulu on February 16 with number
of accounts unsettled. In his account
at the bank he had deposited a draft
for $40 and drawn against it to the
extent of about $500. The draft after
ward proved to be a forgery. Imme-
diately efforts We're made to locate
Landers and these were successful. 1t
is expected that he will be extradited
'and brought here for trial.

THE RELIANCE WINS.
Associated Press. Morning Service,


NEW YORK, May 21.-The Reliance,
the new cup-defender, defeated her
predecessor, the Columbia, today by
thirteen minutes.
The success of the Reliance in her
first actual trial against the Columbia
under racing conditions on Long Island
Sound augurs we'll for Americas pros
poets in the coming cup race. This
showing is a much better one than the
Shamrock III has so far been able to
make against the old Shamrock, which
suffered defeat at the hands Of the
Columbia.
The Reliance is a decided departure
on the part of the Herreshoffs from his
other cup defenders and is an excellent
example of the American tiat-hoOred,
fin-keeled boats. She is not such an
extreme Swimming keeled dish as was
the Independence, but she nevertheless
resembles the Crowninshield boat more
than she does.any of her preGe cessors
built here.
Her lines are easy, with few hard
places and a graceful, sweeping curve
from lac bilges into the sarboards.
little wake, while her bow, although
not quite 50 broad and fiat as that of
the Independence, is still different from
the bow of either the Constitution or
the Columbia. She has long keel, but
owing to her good beam does not carry
so much lead in the bulb as the other
cup defenders. Her bow towards the
end is quite sharp, while her taffrail
measures scarcely eight feet. Her
greatest beam is well up in the should
ers and is carried aft many feet. At
the water line forward she is curved
like the inside of a saucer. 1t is believ-
ed thu her strongest point Of sailing
will be with started sheets in a COM
paratiVely smooth sea. She is also
likely to go fast down the wind, her
long keel holding her well on her
course. Her weakest point viii be on
the wind and flattened sheets a point
on which Shamrock III is said to be
fast. The boat with her easy lines and
her tremendous sails spread out over
10000 square feet, will be easily driv-
en-. 1t seemed the unanimous opinion
of those yachtsmen who have seen her
that she would prove the fastest vessel
ever built

WILL
PITCH AGAIN
HIS sGDESTEP PRACTICED by
OTHERS AND FINALLY HELD TO
BE PROPER.

The trustees of the Honolulu Baseball
League are now all experts in the
sidesteps and forward steps allowed to
pitchers in delivering balls and here
after the men who do the throwing at
Oahu college will do so under discri-
minating eyes, for yesterday after
noon the trustees spent two hours TAX
ing turns at making steps and arguing
with one another as to which were al
lowable. Even Senator Isenberg did
some lively stepping with twirl Of his
arm and a mock throw of ball and
when he got through everyone but
John Wise and the Kamehamehas said
Il was all right.
L. A. Thurston, H. NJ. Whitney, Jr.,
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth, Lieut..
Newton and others each did some mock
pithcing and the latter explained re-
cent ruling about steps. A sidestep
could not be counted a step, he said,
because it had been held that, under
the rule requiring a step toward a base
on throwing the ball to such base, a
pitcher was guilty OF a balk If he threw
after making only a sidestep. A pitcher
had a right to his own peculiar set of
motions. said Newton, but once started
on that habitual routine he had to keep
it up to the end of the programme and
throw the ball. Otherwise it was a
balk. These views prevailed with the
trustees and a unanimous decision sus-
taining Perrine's method Of pitching
was rendered
AS to a second protest by the Kane
hamehas, that Perrine INDUCED in a
step backwards, it was found that the
umpires had not noticed such a ster
and the matter was dropped.
Tomorrow Perrine will have a chance
again, and he will have to toe the mark
very carefully. Everyone will be watch
ing the pitcher this time. The Elks and
the Punahous play and the Males and
