ord breaking golf brought the seventy
two hole medal play contest between
the visiting British and American pro-
fessionals to a close.

bledon Golf club, London, led the field
by Il margin of nine strokes, with a
grand total of 800, with George Low
of BaltusrOl second, with 31S; Alex
Herd of Huddersfield. England, third,

Pinehurst Golf and the Oakley Coun-
try clubs and Alex Smith of Nassau
tied at fourth. with 30. and divided

The sensation of the day was the

William Braid of Hampton Terrace
with Il round of 6S.
This score is three strokes below the
best professional record held by Don
aid Ross, and it clips one stroke off the
famous 60 made by Travis.

state pool tournament in progress at

Monday night by Joe Concannon, of
Woodbridge. who defeated Joe Ryan,

Ishpeming, Mich, is making great
preparations for the second meeting of
the National Skee association, which is
TO take place Feb. 90. This date has
long been observed by the Ishpeming
Skee club, through the enterprise of
whose members the national associa-
tion was created a year ago, and whose
first meeting was such a pronounced
success.
The president of the national organ
i%zation, Carl Tellefsen, is an expert
rider who made his mark years ago ON
the famous skee hills of Norway. The
treasurer, Simon Wahlman, is also a
skilled rider, as well as a maker of
skees. Acksel Hotter of Ashland. Wis.
the secretary, is an enthusiast who is
doing much to populariZe the sport.
George A. Newett, president of the
Ishpemlng Skee club, whose member
ship holds the American championship
for the longest standing jump, 112 feet
6 inches, as we'll as the winner of last
years national tournament, is well
known in skeeing circles.
John c. Greenway, a close personal
friend of President Roosevelt and q
daring rider, is also a member of the
club. Last years course has been
greatly improved, made longer, smooth
er and faster. A great trestle has been
erected Oh top Of the hill, while below,
on the former incline, miners have
blasted out the rock that formerly
stood In the way, rendering the run
free from obstacles and permitting
much greater distances. The angle of
descent is about twenty-five degrees,
and to ride it requires nerve of the
highest order.
Representatives of the famous clubs
of Norway and Sweden are to com
pete for the prizes in the forthcoming
trial. Liberal purses are put up, and
in addition fine solid gold medals will
be presented winners Of the principal
events by private parties. William G.
Mather Of Cleveland will give several
of these valuable trophies, he being an
ardent lover of the sport.

Dumping the bumps, leaping the gap
and looping the loop are regarded in
Madison, Wis, as ordinary sport in
comparison with ice yachting. With n
good yacht and a twenty mile vii a
speed of over a mile q minute is easily
attained. A speed Of forty-five miles
an hour is regarded as only fair. The
record for speed in Madison is held by
William r. Barnard, a well known
boat builder, who in a regatta here
made one leg of the course, which was
q distance of one and %one-fourth miles,
in 511a seconds.
Mr.. Barnard also holds the worlds
record for ten miles. 16 minutes fiat,
which he made with Princess |. at Gull
lake. Kalamazoo, Mich, two years ago.
When it is understood that the occu-
pants of an ice yacht are exposed to
the wind and that the boat is liable to
turn turtle at any moment if not care
fully handled, the fun and danger of
the sport may be appreciated.
The sport of ice yachting is well de-
veloped in Madison, more so perhaps
than at any place in the northwest. On
the two big lakes bordering the city
there are more than 100 yachts, some
of which are owned and operated by
the wealthiest residents of the city. A
score of the yachts are owned by fra
ternities and students of the state uni
versity, and they furnish more amuse-
ment and exercise than the university
gymnasium.

Weldon Asks Damages
From Mr.. and Mrs.
Chaplin.

For the first time in this Territory
the automobile has become the subject
Of suit for damages for personal in
juries. Two suits at once, indeed, open
the record.
Walter c. Weldon separately sues
Mr.. and Mrs c. w. Chaplin each for
s475O damages, on account of personal
injuries, loss of business, etc, sustain
ed by being thrown off his horse in
Kapiolani Park on January Z, 1906.
While riding in the park on that day
mobile She was accompanied by u
chauffeur, whose name complainant
does not know, but asks leave to in
sert in the complaint instead of John
Doe when ne fnds out, but the
plaintiff says:
THAT prior to and at the time when
as aforesaid the said vehicle approach
ed the plaintiff the said John Doe, well
knowing that the said Mrs. c. w.
Chaplin was not qualified as a chauf-
feur or conductor or operator of said
vehicle or to steer, drive or operate
the same and that she was negligent
and unskilful in the steering, driving
and operation of said vehicle, did, I'M
mindful of his and the defendants
duty, negligently permit said Mrs. c.
w. Chaplin to assume control of and
to attempt to steer, drive and operate
said vehicle and 20 steer, drive and
operate the same"
1t is further related in legal phra Sc
ology that Mrs. Chaplin drove the au-
tomobile to the left side of the road
from the way she was going, which
was Mr.. Weedon's right side the way
he was going, in consequence of which
and of her refusal to stop the machine
when requested, compliments horse
reared toward his right side of the
road and becoming still more excited
threw complainant to the ground, so
that he was ''cut, wounded, bruised
and injured" In the meantime the
hired chauffeur neglected to take
charge of the automobile.
Mr.. Weldon alleges that his ex-
penses for medicines, medical attend
ance and nursing have amounted to
$3.50. and that his continued suffering
and detention from business will occa-
sion him damages to the amount or
$4,000 more, making his total claim
$3.50 as stated.
AS reported in the Advertiser on the
morning following it's occurrence. the
accident TO Mr.. Weldon was very Sc
we're. The injury to his head proved,
in fact. dangerous, as it drove him into
a delirious state lasting some days.
Alleging that the defendants are
about to leave the Territory, the
plaintiff prays that an attachment be
made upon sufficient of their property
mere, not exempt from execution, to
satisfy his demand. He offers to fur
cish bond on attachment as required
by law. l.. A. Thurston and A Perry
are his attorneys. Mr.. and Mrs. Chaplin
belong to New York and have been
visiting these islands for several
Eonths past.
Judge De Bolt made an order for a
writ of attachment to issue as prayed
or, upon the filing by the plaintiff of a
,ond in $4,000. This is the aggregate
# damages claimed in the two suits.
