afternoon and centered about Windsor

from other localities il is learned that
while the storm was severe the tobacco
crop escaped destruction.
Some OF the tobacco ruined in the
Windsor district was drowned out by the
heavy downpour OF rain. while that in
other fields was cut down by the hail. This
crop would have been cut and housed
within sixty days.

UTICA, N. Y. July 6.-Last Sunday Rev.
Philip B. Peabody, supposedly on leave OF
absence from his parish near Denver. Col.
preached in couple of Episcopal churches
in this city. and the eloquence Of his ser
mons won for him wide space In the news

charged with petit larceny. was prisoner
in the city court and was sentenced to six
months hard labor In the Oneida county
jail
Thus was an impostor. who admits he has

and his birthplace as Batavia. By profess
sion he is a trained nurse, although when
hard pressed he is not above doing a little
preaching on the side, and SO, when the Oc-
casion demanded. he styled himself the
Rev. Philip B. Peabody finding 1t easier
with this form of introduction to ingratiate
himself into the confidence Of those whom
he would pluck.
Peabody came to this city a couple of
weeks ago, and representing to Bishop Ohm
sted that he was a western clergyman in
need of little local employment to help
him on his way, he was given the Oppor-
tunity to supply the temporary absence in
local pulpits. The impression he made in
the sanctuary was distinctly in his favor
but 1t was not long before he had some
not in his favor, and investigation proved
him to be an impostor.
Fled From City With Wife.
Wednesday he fled the city with his WIFE
and the same afternoon turned up in Rome
as Rev. Mr.. Bond. short of ready change
but with a check for a substantial amount
to be cashed.
With his wife he fed from department
store while the proprletors were making in
quiries about the check. and yesterday the
reverend gentleman appeared at the Rome
custody asylum. and with his wife was given
employment. A few hours later found the
pair. garbed in the uniform of the custodial
asylum. making wholesale purchases the
credit of the institution. They were caught
in the act and held in Rome while war
rant was sworn out by one of their Utica
victims. Chief Barry of Rome, while In
terrogating the couple. was set upon by
the woman, she stabbing him in the side
with her hatpn. The chief knocked both
down after a free-for-all fight, manaced
them. and last night they were brought to
this city.
Rev. Mr.. Peabody pleaded guilty to the
charge of larceny when arraigned today
and admitted he had been conducting his
clerical swindling game all over the coun-
try. His wife was given her liberty.

RACE
FOR AUTOMOBILES
PLANS FOR SOME INTERESTING
CONTESTS AT THE RACE TRACK
BEING DISCUSSED.

The Endurance race around the ISL
and next Sunday for the cup given by
the Won Hamm-Young Co. is causing
a good deal of interest among the diff
ferent automobile owners in town. The
run is going to be a great Success, if
the entries have anything to do with
it. Nearly twenty people have signi-
fled their intentions to go, and all are
anxious to have their names inscribed
on the cup.
The race will be a good endurance
test, as the course is rather a hard
one, and the odds are such that car
will have to do some tall going to fin
ish with perfect scores. Every one
who is entered in the race is asked
to be on hand before o'clock, as num-
bers and signs will be given out then,
and other matters explained before
the start at 8 sharp. The cars will
start at three-minute intervals, and
will go over the Pail road to Kahulku.
A stop will be allowed there for half
an hour, when they will continue to
Haleiwa. One hour will be allowed
there for lunch and then the return to
town. All cars must carry an official
observer, who will note any stoppage
and the length and cause of same.
Some of the places on the weather
side of the island are very sandy, and
it would be very much better to have
the cars equipped with non-skidding
devices so that they would not sink
down in the sand ana perhaps put
them out of the race, when everything
else was running we'll
The committee OF the Automobile
Club is very anxious to have the races
on. Labor Day If they can be arranged,
and it seems that it would be a good
thing for the sport to have them, one
of the members stated. The idea is to
! divide the cars into classes and to start
them at one minute intervals instead
of placing them all in line as on larg-
er tracks. The danger would not De
so great, and better time would be
/ made on the track in the park, and. a
| little practice will enable every driver
to take the turns at full speed. The
only work that is necessary on the
course is to scrape and roll it and
either water or oil it the day before
the race.
The five and ten mile races should be
very exciting, as they give a car the
chance to warm up. It is possible that
a fifty or a hundred mile race will be
one OF the events and II would be a
very good test for cars, That race
would no doubt be free for all, and
the finish would be a matter of doubt
until the last lap, barring accidents,

SPORTS
GOLFING HAVING
A LOCAL BOOM
SOME OF HAWAITS ENTHUSIASTS
WOULD LIKE TO ENTER AGAINST
CALIFORNIA CHAMPIONS.

The coming golf tournament for the
championship of the islands is caus-
ing no end of speculation among the
golfers here in town. The date has
not been decided upon as yet but 1t
will probably be held some time about
the middle of September. 1t is rather
hard to pick the winner, but it is
thought that the race is among about
eight players. The players from the
other islands are an unknown guam
tity. Golf with it's ups and downs is
a very uncertain game at all times"
Some of the best players IN the coun-
try today have been beaten by other
men>who did not come anywhere near
them when they were in form. To be
good at golf one has to play the game
constantly, and to keep at weak points.
The course at the Country Club here
is one of the best natural courses in
the country today, and in a very lit
tie while will be far ahead of a good
many courses that are considered to
be the best today One has to take a
good deal into consideration when
playing at the Country Club. Wind,
distance and direction are the princi-
pal things that have to be thought OF
there. On other courses the wind does
not play such an important part. The
strong trades blowing over the Pail
and down the valley have tendency
to carry the ball away from the hole,
while ball driven right into the Wind
will invariably be carried in just about
the right direction. The coming cham
pionships on the Pacific Coast will be
played very shortly somewhere in Cali
fornia and many would like to have
team chosen to represent the islands
The first four players in the McInerny
Cup tournament would make a very
good team. The foursome tournament
will be played sometime this month
and some good matches can be expect

POLO TOMORROW
WILL DRAW CROWD
PRACTICE YESTERDAY BY MAUI
TEAM SHOWED SOME sTRONG
PLAYING

The Maui team held their last prac-
tice yesterday morning at Moanalua
and everything is in readiness for the
whistle of the umpire tomorrow. rhe
grounds were very soggy on account
of the recent heavy rains and the
players did a good deal of slipping, but
in spite of that played very well.
A polo expert who has seen both
teams at practice says that the Maui
team is much stronger in hitting the
ball, while the team work of the To-
cal team is better than the Maui boys.
The Maui ponies are faster than the
local mems, but the difference in the
grass on the polo grounds is a great
help to local ponies.
The game will start sharply at
o'clock and the presence of a large
crowd is expected, as nearly every
means of transportation has been Sc
cured in advance, to say nothing of
private rigs and automobiles.
