BAlLOU LEADS
IN CHESS MATCH

At the second session of the chess
match between DR.. Benjamin Marshall
and s. NJ. Ballou, the local player won
two games, taking the lead in the
match which now stands Ballou, 2;
Marshall /.
The second game of the match was a
closely contested game in which Ballou
won an isolated pawn in the mid game
and held this slight advantage to the
end.
The third game was the most inter
esting of the series. Ballou first offered
a gambit and then sacrificed knight
in return for strong attack on his ad-
versary's king. DR.. Marshall made an
ingenious defense, but the Honolulu
man finally won back his piece with
winning position.

WEATHER
FOR RACE
1ranspacific Yachtsmen
Have Favorable
Outlook.

| Looking at the pilot chart for the
! North Pacific, at the time of the year
the yachts will be racing to Honolulu,
| the weather conditions are most favor
able for fast runs The average veloc-
| ity of the wind is % miles an hour
which should make the racers log high
speeds. The percentage of Gains is
almost nil. "Gales very rare is what
| the photographic Office predicts.
The start will be made on May 10,
two weeks later than the date original
ly set This postponement was made
to accommodate a yacht owner.
On leaving the Golden Gate, it will
be a reach on the starboard tack, the
course will be S. w (true) for some
SEQ miles to lat. q deg, long. 136 deg,
when the course is changed to w. by
S. 1-2 S. to Oahu. The wind during
the first 600 miles is N with a force
of 4 beaufort scale) for 20 'days dur
ing the month and the same velocity
from the n. w. for. days. The
chances for Gains are days in 100
which is a pretty good assurance that
the boats will not be held back for
lack of wind
The regular trades. n. E. and E. n.
E., will take charge for the balance
of the voyage. blowing with steady
velocity of about % miles an hour.
The E. n. E. direction is scheduled
for 20 days and N. E. s during the
month. Gains are still further re-
mote, the chances being from l day
in 100 to none.
When about 800 miles from Honolulu
the wind may shift to S. E. when the
yachts will have to tack for the first
time. The breeze is, however, of same
strength and it will be a reach for
the yachts on the port tack. This
condition is likely to happen but days
in the month. so the probability is,
the race will be a reach and a run |
for the entire distance on the star |
board tack.
From the foregoing it will be seen |
that the chances are favorable for |
smashing records for voyages of small |
craft from San Francisco TO Honolulu |
and it is quite within reason to ex- |
pect some of the yachts to make the !
run in from 10 to II days.

The Birthday of the FLAG,

This is the 129th anniversary of the
adoption of the American flag, and in
accordance with a pretty and patriotic
custom it has been generally observed
ceeding June IA for several years. All
persons are urged to display the flag
today from their homes and places of
business. 1t is simple and appro-
pirate method of observing an ami
versary of much Importance in our
history, and one in which all citizens
can easily join. In many states the
governors have issued proclamations
urging that the day be observed, not
only by a general display of the flag
but also by suitable exercises in the
public schools. Flag day, while not in
any sense holiday, has come to be
generally observed throughout the
country, thanks to the efforts of the
various patriotic societies, and we hope
the people of Augusta and those
throughout the State will join today in
the observance of it.
1t was upon June IA. I'LL. that the
Continental Congress adopted the
resolution selecting the stars and
stripes as the emblem of the Nation
There is theory that the device was
derived by suggestion from the coat of
arms of the Washington family, on
which appear alternate bars of red and
white, answering to the stripes, and
roWelS bearing some resemblance to
stars. For this theory there is no
authority, and the similarity may be a
mere coincidence. When the stars and
stripes came into being the flag of
France was the old banner of the lilies
the present tricolor was the outcome
of the French Revolution. Germany's
flag of red, white and black is of a
much later date, and the English flag.

is said that the stars and stripes,
