PLEAsES THE MAGNATES.
Feeling Over the Admission of the
Tri-State League.
BY ]. c. MORSE

Remarkable indeed the induction of
the Tri-State League into the growing cir
Gle of organized ball 1t would be diff
cult matter indeed to estimate In dollars
and cents the saving that has been made
on both sides or the outlay necessltated
when they were at war. No organization
of smaller calber had ever made the stand
of the Tri-State, and the parties thereto
were ready to go on at further length II
necessary. 1t was certainly a great vic
tory for the Tri-State and it certainly was
a magnificent thing for the National AS
ISOLATION that it held the olive branch to
the SiX-club organization that had stood Its
ground so bravely. The New England
League like others, had been dealt some
severe blows in the way of the loss of
players worth many thousands of dollars,
yet no organization yielded us claims
more gracefully.
A man who is entitled to deal of credit
for the successful termination of affairs
was President Charles F. Carpenter of the
Tri-State League. He made a splendid i'm
preston upon all with whom he came into
contact For a long time he has been de-
sirouS to bring his organization within the
lines of organized ball. and without his
earnest cooperation it could not have been
brought about. All along Mr.. Carpenter
has been opposed to the signing of con-
tract jumpers by the members of his own
organiza ton. and his example was one that
lowed in spirit of broadmndedness and
craftsmanship. There is no doubt that the
Tri-State will have the most successful sea-
son of it's history under his able admins
traton the coming year. 1t is now very
evident why the new Atlantic League failed
to secure protection for Wilmington and
Trenton owing to the fact that that terri
tory was kept open until the matter Of adj
mission into organized ball was settled.
Here and there there was a growl be-
cause valuable player had been lost
ing to the admission of the Tri-State, but
the liberal minded were extremely tickled
that the matter was adjusted. With the
Tri-State aloof from protection players
could use it as a bolster to their own
figures. With such procedure In vogue all
along the line it can readily be seen how
figures could be bolstered and players in al
most every league could hold out for long
time. Providence was a club SOrely af-
fected last season, and Fred Doe and Hugh
Duffy are highly elated that they now
know where they stand in the matter

with his reception in the middle west,
where he is now appearing. that he de-
clares he is content to rest on the reputa-

LONDON, January Ill Hewitt, the
crack New Zealand jockey, has accepted an
engagement to ride in England this year,

stable. at Newmarket. This. with the pub
lication of the official list of winning
Jockeys for the last year, and the fact that

third place in 1904 third o-gain In LOO, and
second in 1901 to o. MADDEN. The only
American to head the English winning list
was Lester Reiff, and that was in 1899.
OF late years the winning mounts go into

IGNORED HORSE RACING.
Gov. Hughes Did Not Deal With It in
His Message.

folks We're much relieved when they read
through the message of Gov Hughes and
found on allusion to the pastime of horse
racing. 1t is understood that the Rev VIII
bur F. Crafts of Washington called on Gov.
Hughes and tried to get from him some ex-
preston as to his attitude toward racing.
He declined. He said that he knew all about
racing and its relation to the people, and
that it would be time to express his opinion
of the matter when ii came before him.
There will. of course, be an attempt during 6
the present session of the legislature to re-
peal the PercyGray law and make the
penalty for bookmaking felony.

were playing the late Mr.. Bethune of Blebo,
a fine Fifeshire landed proprietor, who
farmed his own ground. Mr. Bethune was
getting a third and was making such head
way that he was six holes up at the turn.
This did not suit jamie Anderson at al,
especially as he had six balls on the match.
He said to his partner, Wen have to stick
in. Sir Robert" Sir Robert Anstruther re-
Piled "All right, Jamie. I'll start Mr. Be-
thune on the law of Hypothec"-a subject
on which, as the baronet well knew, Mr..
Bethune held very strong opinions. Mr..
Bethune became so reused and waxed so
eloquentIy indignant that he lost hole after
hole and Jamie and his partner managed
to halve the match.

PROF. HART LECTURES
On PHOTOGRAPHY

Prof. w. L. Hart, of London, Eng
land, who has now taken up his resi-
dence In the Territory and is at pres
ent the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
Cav of Kauai, delivered lecture on
..The story of Photography at the
Kilohana Art League rooms last night
He called attention to the fact that
photography is by no means a recent
invention but that it dates back 10
the sixteenth century, when the first
glimpses, into what has become the
greatest aid to science yet discovered,
were obtained by Neapolitan monk.
The speaker traced it through it's va
rious growths and broadenings down
to the present day, describing in a
most interesting manner the different
men who have taken part in its devei-
opment.
In closing Prof. Hart stated that he
felt that the end had not yet been
reached and that in the future color
photography in a most highly develop
ed form would be achieved. He also
described the many advantages in the
line of astronomy and other sciences
which might be clearly recognized as
being gained from the science of which
he was speaking.

4 FLYING FISH

There are fish stories and fish stories
at this season of the year, but the
story told by the passengers of the
steamship Sierra is one that is backed
by facts.
AS the steamship was sailing along
from Honolulu on her way to this port
a school of flying fish suddenly invaded
her upper deck. 1t was early in the
evening and as the weather was warm
all the passengers had gathered on the
deck to listen to an impromptu con-
cert 1t was a bright starlight even
ing and the passengers could distinctly
note the glittering wings of fish as
they sped along over the CLASSY sea.
Just at this juncture all the electric
lights in the ship were turned on.
Mackenzie Gordon and w. H. Hopkins
were singing the ''Larboard Watch
when the fish made a sudden dart and
dropped on the decks to the great
amazement of the passengers. Many
of the fish were caught and placed on
ice to be brought to port TO show to
those who doubted the story.-Can.
