Important Years Work Over and
Trustees Planning for
Another.
PROF. r. Y. MAxeY HAS BEEN
REELECTED PRINCIPAL.

The Darlington Graded and
High school closed last week
after year of excellent work
and results, with very good at.

year, Notwithstanding the tend
ency on the part of many par
ents to take their children out of

FIRST TIE SHIPMENT
IN THREE Weeks

HILo, Hawaii, October Frank b
McStocker of the Hawaii Development
Company, who arrived here on Mon
day by the steamer Lurline, came prin-
cipally TO inquire as to the prospects
for ohia tie shipments to the Coast, Mr..
James b. Castle having the contract
for transporting them from Hilo for
the Hawaii Mahogany Lumber Com
pany.
Mr.. MeStockcr said the first ship
ment would probably go forward by
the Emily g. Whitney in about three
weeks time, as far as he could Judge
a lot of $1,000 ties. Future shipments
would, of course, depend upon the com
pany and the rapidity with which the
ties could be turned out and delivered
in Hilo. If this were done at the av-
erage rate of 1000 ties daily, there
would probably be vessel leaving here
once a month, but he was looking for
something better than that and hoping
to have vessel clear every three weeks
if not every fortnight. AS soon as die
had been TO Puma and got more par
ticulars, he would be able to advise the
Matson Company, with whom they had
made their freighting arrangements.

DREAM POTION IN FOURTH
trrom sunday,s AdvertIser.,

from then until the end of the eighth.
Smith held up Boquet IS hand and the
decision met with entire approval.
Before the main event, Jack Lang
try was introduced as having boxed
three rounds with Jack johnson, and
it was stated that he wished to chal.
lenge any heavyweight on the Islands.
frankie Smith, Young Nelson and Joe
Leahy were all introduced as challeng-
ing the winner of the main event, and
then the principals came on.
The referee was introduced and re-
ceived with loud cheers. He was a
genial looking gentleman, and smiled
kindly in recognition of his reception.
He made special request to the press
stand that his name be not mentioned,
and, extraordinary as such a request
is, coming from a man who referees a
bout in a public ring, his incognito is
preserved on, account of his evident
popularity and. inyincible smile.
When the gong sounded for the bout
| to commence, the two lads walked to
, the center of the ring and shook hands.
Then something moved like fash and
Reilly's left had jabbed cut on
F, Weher's mouth.
| Weber shook his head and came on
with rush, but he only met that
merciless left, and, duck as he would,
there was always a glove where his
| face was, and soon his nose and eyes
were battered out of all recognition.
In the second round Reilly played with
his man and jabbed him at will, occa-
sionally bringing over severe right
uppercut that staggered Weber and
made him break ground.
In the third round Reilly inaugu
rated a series of piston movement jabs
that tapped Weber's face three or foul
times in succession, and the crowd
cheered Justify. In this round Weber
landed three times, but not one of the
blows did any damage, and Reilly was
still unmarked.
Weber looked very bad when h,
came up for the fourth, and he did lit
tie but cover up his face and body a
best he could to save himself from tn,
terrible rights that Reilly had let loose
The round had lasted scarcely half I
minute when Weber went to the foo
for the first time, and full minute
had scarcely elapsed when he was car
ried to his corner.
The house was well filed, the ring
side seats were all occupied, and tn
body of the house was fairly black
especially in the gallery. The Orpheun
:, is certainly good place for an even
of this kind, the ventilation is good an'
the stage borders make an ideal ligh
for a boxing contest.
The next event has not yet been al
ranged, but now that there are tire
: boxers of undoubted class here, it vii
not be long before we, have chanc
| to see how Reilly will size up with on
I of the two new arrivals. Joe Leah
! will probably be the next man to en-
t ter the ring with him, and the resultan
go will be something of classic if re
po.ts as to Leahy's cleverness are no
Z exaggerated

FRANKIE SMITH
IS WITH LEAHY

Two sturdy little athletes stepped off
the Alamera Friday morning, both
licking ms fit as the proverbial fiddle
after their sea voyage. They are Joe
Leahy and frankie Smith, sent over
here by Sol. l.evinson and Alex. Greg
gains, respectively, to box Charlie
Reilly.
Both the youngsters size up like good
ones and this is backed up by the long
records they both produced. frankie
Smith has taken part in thirty four
battles and has never lost decision,
while his list is well sprinkled with the
knockout sign.
Joe Leah, has an equally admirable
record to sho ) and there are some well
known names on his list. He has met
such men as Joe Carroll. Willie Conroy
whom he defeated, and frankie Ed
wards, Johnny Murphy and Dick Gull
len with whom he drew.
frankie Smiths record does not con-
tain quite so many we'll known names
but all the lads he has met are good
ones and there is little to choose be-
tween them. Smith worked for some
time with Owen Moran and states that
he was not surprised that the young
Britisher bested Eddie Hanlon last
Wednesday night. 81 always
thought said he, "that Moran was
doing wrong in making weight for Abe
Attell and his showing against Hanlon
proves that this was right.
Gable fought foolish battle. He
tried to be smart and lead Moran on,
thinking that he could easily make up
in the last rounds, but we was fooled
by the other fellow and deserved not
to get the decision. / do not think
Abe is the same man he was few
+ years ago, he seems to have gone back
although still marvelously clever. He
lost what little popularity he had by
his funny fight against Moran and 1
do not look for him to be much of a
drawing card in the future. All the
same it g funny the way people go to
see him get licked and always get
fooled, ism itin
Both boys thoroughly enjoyed their
trip and state that the sooner they get
to work the better it will please them.
We have now a trio of real class in
Honolulu, imported class at that and
we may expect to see some lively bouts
in the near future with, who knows, a
future world Is champion taking the
final decision.
