NOVELTY IN SPORT.

A sensational novelty which will be
seen at the seashore and other amuse-
ment places this summer is the mechani-
cal bucking mule, the invention of an
Ohio man. This amusement device il
somewhat similar to the ssknock- 'em-
down-and- get-a-cigar" target, which
long since lost it's popularity. These
mechanical bucking mules are in the
form of targets. One or more can be
employed, the object of the pleasure
seeker being to hit the mule with a
baseball or other missile at the point
indicated by the target. IF the spot
is struck the mechanism within the
mule is released, causing the
mule to vigorously kick out his hind
legs There is no doubt but what this
novelty will prove immensely popular,
as it will instantly appeal to the per-
son who desires to show his pitching
ability. At the same time he can have
the satisfaction ON hitting the target
of seeing the mule display his temper
with absolutely no danger to himself.

YACHT PLANS
MAY COME TODAY
The Korea Should Bring Final
Designs of the New
Schooner.

With the arrival of the Korea from
San Francisco today, the plans of the
new yacht which is to be built for the
transpacific race should be on hand
start in earnest the work on the YES
sci which will represent Hawaii. The
keel of the new boat is already on
hand. 1t came down by the Missouri
from Seattle and is one of the finest
pieces of Northwest lumber which has
ever been seen in Honolulu.
The money for the yacht is still com.
ing in, and there will be more efforts
made in the near future by the COM
mittee in charge to get sufficient money
on hand for the work. Some of the
small donors have already come
through with gifts twice, and in one
case an individual has given the sum
of $40 on three different occasions,
showing his interest in the proposition.
Those who are expected to give large
amounts have not responded to any
great extent as yet, but seem to be
waiting to find out how much is need
ed to complete the $4,000 which is re-
quired, before making their donations.
The preliminary plans of the new
yacht. with the general specifications,
are at McInerny's shoe store, where
anyone interested in the work may
examine them and obtain all the infor-

on hand at present

BALL MEN HEAR
FROM JAPANESE
Arrangements Being Made for
Hawaii Team to Go
to Orient.

Letters were received by several of
those interested in the sending of a
baseball team from this city to Japan
by the mail which came in on the
China on Saturday. From the present
outlook it seems very likely that ar
rangements will be completed and a
nine of local players will make the
trip.
Mr.. Mundon. the private secretary of
Mr.. Inouye. who passed through here
six weeks ago and who was greatly
interested in the scheme, wrote a letter
to Captain Pat Gleason, Mkt. formerly
the japanese interpreter in the police
court, and to Lieutenant Ito, of this
city. He stated that Mr. Inouye.s wife
had died just after that gentleman
reached Japan and that on this account
he had been unable to take up the
baseball matter at once. Mr.. Mundon
also stated that he had since taken the
matter up with the Keio University
boys and they were enthusiastic over
the idea and were at work making the
arrangements for the passage of the
team.
The next mail from the Orient, which
will arrive on the Manchuria, due in
this city on October 5, will probably
bring advices which will give a better
outline Of the plans made by the Jap
anese for the transportation of the
local team. The games which will be
played in Japan had not been decided
on at the time the letters received here
On the China were written and nothing
more is known In this regard than the |
tentative plans which were made while |
Mr.. Inouye was in this city.
1t is possible that the sending of a |
ball team to Japan may seriously dis
arrange the plans for the coming of a
cam of the ballpiayers from San
Francisco. The team sent from here
would naturally be the strongest ag-
,regation which could be found In the
ity, and the local boys would prefer
, trip to the Orient to staying in this
ity and playing against the men from
he big league. Whether the dates OF
he two series of games could be SO
ranged that they would not conflict,
ill be shown when the letters from
apan come by the Manchuria.

THE REPORTERS, GALLERY.

It was my privilege once to witness
statesmen absolutely refusing to allow
the great machinery of parliament to
be put in motion in the absence Of the
reporters. 1t was December 2, 1902,
when the education bill was before
the House of LordS. The Marquis of
Londonderry. president of the council
of education, refused to address the
house until the reporters arrived. What
an absolute change in the point of
view of statesmen since William
Woedfall sat in the strangers gallery
of the House of Commons with closed
eyes, endeavoring to fix on his memory

FOURSOME PLAY
AT LATER DATE

| According to a statement made by
mittee of the Country Club yesterday
afternoon, there is very little chance
that a foursome match will be played
at the club links for some little time
According to the statement made, the
members of the committee have talk
ed the matter over privately, though
no meeting has been held by them as
yet, and decided that they would not
have a foursome match at present.
The reason given for this decision
was that there have been competitions
going ON almost every Sunday since
the club was opened and the commit
tee thinks it wise to rest for a little
while before starting any more. They
state, however. that there will be
foursome match at a later date, which
will be decided on after the matches
scheduled for Moanalua have been
played.
be taken up with golf at Moanalua
The only fixed date is that of the
medal play, which is scheduled for Oc>
tober 81. The White Rock tournament
takes place at these links this month
and will probably be on October 10,
though 1t may be decided to hold 1t
over till October 81. That leaves only
two Sundays available for other
and it is doubtful if they
will be used except for the usual prac-
tise games.
Bowling on the green has been taken |
Up by the members of the Country
Club lately, and last Sunday a num-
Der of enthusiasts could be seen play
ng the famous old game which Rip
Van Wrinkle made so celebrated in the
satskill Mountains. The golfers find
hat it is just the thing after a round
f the links and the old game bids
air to come back into vogue once
more and will vie with tennis for pop
larity.

CHEWING GUM.

The Episcopal Bishop of Texas esti-
gum at sixty millions OF dollars. He
dealt with the matter somewhat en-
phatica,lly in the protest he was utter
ing against our comparatively small
contribution to foreign missions. He
wanted the latter sum increased, and
spoke with fervor of the great merits
of the mission work. His subject was
of interest, and he handled it well.
Sixty millions of dollars annually for
chewing gum constitute a good big
sum, and the money might be better
But it is something to be
able to afford it for such purpose.
It is certainly much better, if the
bishop will allow the observation, than
chewing the rag.-Washington Star

ed by the Rhodes selection COM
mittee of Pennsylvania. Secretary
Charles w. Boyd, of the Rhodes
fund, has received many remon-
Stances, not alone from Rhodes
Scholars, but from influential
Americans, declaring that the ad-
mission of a Negro on equal terms
with white students will create
prejudice against the educational
work of the trust.
Mr.. Boyd, speaking with author
ity of Lord Grey and the full
bench of trustees, says:
"Alain Lorraine Locke has been
appointed by the selected commit,
tee of the Pennsylvania Rhodes
trustees, and their agents in Eng
land have the greatest respect for
American opinion and never inter
fere in principle with the decision
of the American board. They re-
gard this as an American question
in which it would be presumptuous
for them to say a word"
The university authorities have
not raised any objection on ac-
count of his color, but one of the
smaller colleges, Hertford, has
been chosen as Locks residence.
He will have the same treatment
as the forty-four other scholars ar
irving from America, and is going

AFRICAN NATIVES.

johannesburg, Sept. 2S.-A re-
port of the Transvaal Land Own
ers' Association says that Negroes
are paying white field hands good
wages while they sit around in the
shade and boss them.
"a decided advance is noticeable
among the natives as regards their
methods of cultivation" says one
of the commissioners is his report
"In former years most of their
land was titled by women, who
used the hoe, practically their own
implement of agriculture, whereas
at present it is quite common to
see the men cultivating with plows
drawn by either oxens or donkeys." !"
The Colorado statesman., 1907-10-12

Another of the commissioners
writes:
"The rapid strides the natives
are making towards civilization
and the eagerness they display in
endeavoring to learn to read and
write have of late become very
marked. 1 regret to have to say it,
but it appears to me that the ma
tive children as regards educa ton
are comparatively advancing more
rapidly than the children of the
poorer whites in the outlying dis
tricts."

INTERESTING EVENTS
Held by the B. L. 1. P. U. of A., of the
United States and Canada--Dele-
gates Royalty Entertained by
the Local Branch.

For the past fortnight the city
has been turned over to the B. l..
1. P. U. of A. of the Uuited States
and Canada, in their National con-
vention, and how well they have
spent the time in a business and
social way words cannot adequate
ly describe. The first social event,
smoker was held Friday night of
last week at East Turner hall un-
der the auspices of Local No. l of
Denver. 1t was an event that
brought many hundreds of people
to witness, and as result it has
been the popular gossip of the
week of the genial hospitality of
the organization which spared
neither pains nor money to make
it pleasant for everybody. While
each individual member saw to it
that their guests were well cared
for, President T. McAllister and
his corps of committee are respon-
sible in large degree for the
splendid arrangement of the affair.
Sunday afternoon the organiza-
tion met at their hall and headed
by brass band, marched to the
Peoples Presbyterian church
where memorial services were held
the sermon being preached by the
pastor, Rev. D. D. Cole. He was
proceeded by a very interesting
program.
The climax of the convention
was that of grand ball at East
Turner hall, which was preceded
by very interesting program,
consisting of musical numbers
and addresses with President Nc
Allister as Master of Ceremonies.
The hall was filled with enthusiast
tic listners and many on the
program had to respond more than
once to encores. In the address
es of the visiting delegates they
all make it a point to allude to the
Local branch of Denver, and it's
presiding officer T. MoAllister and
according to their statments Den
yer ranks first Tor genial hospital
ity and its president is first in the
same catagora as an astute execu-
tive.
The citizens of Denver as we'll
as the visiting friends and dele
gates has never been given a more
elaborate royal time than was
shown them by Local No. l of this
city, and it is with esteem pleasure
that the COLORADO STATESMAN ex-
tends the Ba- of congratulation to
its officers, committeeman and
members on the well merited fame
they have won.
