BURIAL SERVICES.
OF MURDERED MAN

The burial services over the body OF
L. T. Chin were held in st. Andrews
Cathedral, St. Peters Chapel being too
small to hold those who wished to at
tend. Even with the change, many
could not get inside the Cathedral.
The deceased was the brother-in-law
of the Rev Kong Yin Let, and at his
request Bishop Restarick conducted the
services assisted by the Rev. w. E.
Patwfne Members of the choirs of the
Cathedral and of ST. Peters sang the
hymns: ION the Resurrection Morn
ing" Rock of Ages" and Nearer
My God to Thee The attendance
and the flowers and other evidences of
respect showed the esteem in which the
deceased was held in the community.
Bishop Restarick took the occasion
of the presence of a large number of
Chinese to speak through an interpre-
ter upon the lessons of the sad event
The lesson that sin brings pain, sor-
row and woe; and the lesson of the
faith and hope which sustained the re-
latives in their hold on the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
The interment took place in the
Christian Chinese burial ground at
Makiki. A very large number of car
riages followed the hearse.
The deceased leaves a wife and three
children. He had been twice married.
His first wife died about three years
ago leaving two children, the surviv-
ing wife having one child. He leaves
also an aged father and mother and
an older brother.
L. T. Chin was born in Canton,
China, arriving in Honolulu when he
was about six years of age. He re-
ceived his education in the Fort Street
Chinese school. After leaving school
he learned stenography and type
writing, and obtained employment at
j. L. Walkers office. When this BUSH
ness was transferred to w. G. Irwin
& Co., L. T. Chin became their en-
pIoyee.
The deceased was a member of the
Vestry of st. Peters Chinese Church.
He was a member of the Chinese So
ciety; a member of the Chinese and
English Debating Society, Secretary of
the Chinese Merchants Association and
also Secretary Of the Chinese Reform
Society. He was an active member of
the Committee in Charge of the Chi
nese Hospital
Those who knew L. T. Chin speak of
him as a man of high character, gentle
in manner, and generally liked by those
who had any social or business rela-
tions with him.
The large number of white persons
present. at the funeral showed that the
deceased had many friends in the COM
who desired to express their
sympathy to the bereaved.

ALEX, YOUNG'S
NEW TOURING CAR
Honolulu, t. H, June %, 1904.

Honolulu, T. H, June %, 1904.
Editor Advertiser: I notice with APP
probation your kindly mention in to-
days issue, of my new touring car
which arrived by the Ventura yester-
day. Your reporter, however, has been
mfsinformed regarding the makers and
construction of the car; L will volun-
teer the following information which
might interest your readers:
The body of the car is built of alumni
MUM, and is therefore very strong and
light, the whole weight of the car being
about 1900 pounds. The engine is COM
pound, and is capable of developing
thirty horsepower. but can be convent
entity worked at ten horsepower, or
under. The speed of the car on a good
road may be increased to forty-five
miles an hour, although it is seldom
driven at more than twenty-five miles
an hour; in town it cannot be driven at
a speed greater than is allowed by law
It carries four passengers and the chat
feur. very comfortably; crowded 1t
might carry six. 1t runs one hundred
miles on a fairly level road. with but
one charge of gasoline and water. The
wheels are what are known as the
artillery wheels.
The car in question is a White Steam
Touring car, built in Cleveland, Ohio,
by the White Sewing Machine Com
pany. and is the first of a number TO
arrive here in the near future.
The car was landed early in the day,
and in less than an hour after was
steaming all over town. The small boy
had his inning wherever the car stop
ped. and was delighted TO see so much
bright metal finish. In the afternoon a
trip was made to the Pail, and at easy
speed the car returned to King street
occupying but three-quarters of an
hour on the round trip.
Yours very truly,
ALEXANDER YOUNG.

Thanksgiving day. The California Club
will hold a handicap singles for men
while mixed doubles will be played on
the park courts.
All of the best players in the club

and his stay may be ten years in
length. He expects to locate in South
Africa, where he will have little time

The mixed doubles tournament will
be the largest ever held on the coast
While there will not be as much class
to the event as there is at San Rafael
there will be many more teams than
ever participated in a similar event IN
this city Already nineteen teams have
entered and there will probably be
more by Wednesday night when the
entries close. The best teams are: Will
Allen and Miss Hazel HotchkisS, G.
Griffin and Miss Bessie Valleau and c.
Dunlap and Miss Ratcliffe.
Tomorrow the handicap doubles
tournament which has occupied the at
tention of the park players for the last
two Sundays will be completed. In the
finals the Baker brothers playing from
rs back of scratch will be opposed to
Horace Mann and Robert DrOlla, who
will receive odds of 'three-sixths.'
These two youngsters have played clev-
er tennis throughout the tournament
and the steady Bakers will have their
hands full winning.
The finals of the first class Of the
Junior Club will be played to-day. Miles
HcLoughlin will meet Harold Getz. The
former won the first tournament, and
if he is successful in his match with
Getz the racket and case offered as first
prize will go to him permanently.
The directors of the California Club
decided Tuesday night to offer two
three time cups to replace the two won
by Long and James They will not be
competed for until next month.

OARSMEN FORM
ASSOCIATION
GLOSS WANTS RACE
Portlander Eager to Meet
Pape Next Spring.

On Monday night at the quarters Of
the Dolphin Boating Club, at the foot
of Hyde street, meeting was held at
which representatives or the Dolphin,
Alameda and Ariel clubs were present
to discuss the formation of a new asso-
citation for oarsmen of this city and
neighborhood. A member of the South
End Rowing Club also attended the
meeting.
Temporary organization has been ef-
fected, C. NJ. Farrell of the Dolphins
being elected chairman and A. kim
of the Alameda. Club being secretary
pro tenn. 1t was decided that the sec
retary should address letters to the
Rowing Club, asking for, their cooper
alton and membership, and to the Ma
tional Association of Amateur Oars
men, asking for information in regard
to joining that body. The new organi-
zation is to be named the Pacific Asso-
citation of Amateur Oarsmen and is in
tended ultimately to include all the
rowing clubs on the Pacific Coast Two
committees have been appointed, one
to prepare a draft of a constitution and
bylaws and the other to reclassify the
oarsmen
The members Of the South End Row
ing Club are showing great activity in
aquatic matters. There is keen rivalry
between F. r. Berman's and Frank
Bakers crews, each wishing the honor
of representing the club in the junior
barge class at next seasons regattas.
Two races have already been held be-
tween the crews. On Sunday, the 9Th
inst, Bergman's crew won. Last Sun
day Bakers crew took first place. A
third trial will take place tomorrow.
The directors of the club intend to hold
contests every fine Sunday. Light~re-
freshments will be served at the club
house.
Many good swimmers are being de-
veloped by the South Emo Club, and it
is probable mile race will take place
between Judge A. ]. Fritz and T. l.
Fitzpatrick and a contest for the
heavyweight championship between 1.
Tuchler and John Ross.
James p. Foley of the South End
Rowing Club has received a letter from
E. O. Gloss of the Portland Rowing
Club, the well-known single shell man.
Gloss is desirous of arranging a race
for the sculling championship of the
Pacific Coast with A. w. Pape, the
holder of the title, at any time between
April and June of next year. Gloss,
though handicapped by a poor boat,
gave Pape a hard race some seasons
ago, and in a new shell feels he can
do better than on that occasion.
Last Sunday there was a race be-
tween E. Wolfe and a. Korn of the
South End Rowing Club in outraged
skiffs from the Mail dock to the club
house. The contest was close, Korn
leading by less than a clear length
when the finishing-line was reached.

BOWLERS PRAISE
RETIRING OFFICER
Members of the Scottish
Club Laud Efforts of
Y. c. Lawson.

At the quarterly meeting of the San
Francisco Scottish Bowling Club new
officers were installed for 1905. Y. c..
Lawson, who has been the clubs pres
ident since its inception two years
president. His club mates were anx-
ious to have him again at the helm,
but Mr.. Lawson's home will be in New
York after the first of the year and
he was forced to retire. Mr.. Lawson
has served the club faithfully and has
done more for Scottish bowling than
any man on the coast. The vote of
thanks rendered the retiring presi-
dent was well earned by him in the
last two years.
The new leader of the club is H. l..
Tlckner. John Reid is vice president
and r. d. Colquhoun secretary y-treas-
urer.
The club will offer a silver loving
cup to be competed for next year. If
more than one singles tournament is
held the winners of the different
events will play off to see who is en-
titled to the trophy.
Y. G. Lawson offered to donate a
prize each year for an event to which
only men 70 years or over are eligible
to compete. There are six or eight
members of the club over the three
score and ten mark and they are all
clever bowlers. An event of this kind
will be novel as we'll as an interest
ing one.
Nine new members have been ad-
mitted to the club. The roster now
contains over 100 names. The green
committee reported the green to be in
excellent condition and were liberal
in their praise of John McLaren, who
is responsible for the green's condi-
ton.
