Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, December 49,
There will be another ocean race next sea-
son, not across the Atlantic this time but
half way across the Pacific. Way out in
Hawaii there is q progressive yacht club,
and the recent race across the Atlantic
for the German emperor's cup proved too
much for the sporting proclivities of the
Hawaiian yachtsmen to withstand Accord
ingly, contest has been arranged which
calls for the starting at San Francisco and
the ending OF the race at Honolulu.
T. w. Hebron, commodore of the Ha-
waiian club. recently came to San Fran
cisco to interest yachtsmen here, and he
found them In a receptive mood. 1t was
at first suggested that the race should be
from Honolulu to some Japanese port, but
there We're objections to this course, and it
was finally decided to start the race from
San Francisco.
The distance of the race is 1000 miles as
the bird flies. The time set for the con-
test is next June. 1t is certain that there
will be six starters. and it is expected that
other yachtsmen will arrange things so
that they can compete. The trophy which
first prize is worth $500 Suitable prizes
will be given to the winners of the second
and third places.

Personal Power.
rom the Outing aIagasIne.

Now, in this article l shall try. In the
briefest manner possible. to make clear two
things of which l am firmly convinced.
First. that there are possibilities of physical
development far beyond the present achieve
ments: and secondly. that there are certain
very simple methods by which these possi-
bilities may in every case be attained
The first object of physical methods
should be to straighten and expand the
body. The world may, In a broad, general
way, be divided into two great classes
the erect and the inerect, the strong and
the weak The epoch makers. the Crom-
wells. Luthers, Napoleons. Weliingtons.

broad. high. deep chest. The mastered mil
lions. the defeated ones. have been the In

From the Chicago Chronicle.
If 1t be true that movement is on foot
for Americans to present France with a
copy OF Houdons celebrated statue OF
Washington as a sort of return for Bar

pardonable to refer to such a work as a

a copy of work of art made by the origi-

He Took the Oath Of Office Abroad,
but Did Not Live to serve.
William Rufus King, born April g,
1856, died April Is, 1853, was a vice
president Of the United States who
never served in that capacity aud one
who took the oath of Office on foreign
soil, something which can be said Of
no other executive officer who has ever
been elected by the people Of this coun-
try. King was an invalid, but his
friends urged him to take second place
on the ticket with Pierce in 1852.
Both were elected, but Mr.. Kings
health failed SO rapidly that he was
forced to go to Cuba some two months
before Inauguration day. Not having
returned to the United States by
March 4, congress passed a special act
authorizing the United States consul
at Matanzas, Cuba, to swear him in
as vice president at about the hour
when Pierce was taking the oath Of
Office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out to
a dot, and on the day appointed, at
plantation on one Of the highest hills
in the vicinity Of Matanzas, Mr.. King
was made vice president of the United
States amid the solemn "vaya vol con
dos God will be with you. Of the
