has seen him work and who is one
of the most competent writers Of sport

Never can they move too fast for him,
and rarely does a man break from a
hold when Gotch has taken it securely.
Hack is known in Germany, France,
Russia and England, and all Europe
is waiting to see him take something
from Anglo-Saxon boasts of superiority
in athletics. With the pride of race
and country common to Americans,
the sport loving public of the United

| June 14-This noon when we were
running alono easily under big balloon

delighted us by stating that we had
made 625 miles the first three DAYS.
"That is going some" said Thayer. In
his joy Commodore Tut appointed
Stimson head of the commissary de-

epicurean lives and have our bareback
buttered on both sides.
When the Anemone listed to port
heavily under the pressure of canvas
and the water in the hold, the cabin
lockers containing Tut s and Thayer s
clothes were filed with water. That
made fine mess. The colors have run

starched shirts look weak and careworn,

more about odd and even miles than

wonder. He has already trained cook
and steward so that we are twice as
well served as before. And he makes
no fuss, just takes hold himself and
things go. He is a bully good story
teller too.
Altogether we are remarkably fine
set of men. Tut, Stimson and I. We
feel particularly so today, in light
weather and sunshine.
This afternoon the first game of
bridge, Tut and Stimson lost. Very
young men ought not to play that

reason why any man should think of

that his was cucumbriform If people
had not called his attention to it!
We had a wanton drink today. Just

good bottles of Overholt and sundry
other bottles, expressed our opinion

bottle and said Howl" It is shock

be divided on a basis of rs per cent
to the winner and 25 per cent to the
loser
8. The bout to be wrestled under the
catch-as-catch-can rules Of the inter-
national Wrestling Association.
A. The contestant obtaining the best
two out of three falls to be declared
the winner.

WRESTLER WANTS
DISTANCE WALK

Hans Froelecher, the wrestler, is also
a long distance pedestrian of note and
orable jaunts.
In 1894 he took part in the big
Stock Exchange walk from London to
Brighton in which event there were
lat starters.
Thirty-five walkers covered the dis
lance of So miles in less than ten hours
and Froelecher completed the course in
nine hours and half.
Froelecher will do a lot of road work
in connection with his training for his
bout with Frank Kanae and would
like to arrange a twenty-mile match
with some local pedestrian.

and looked to be in fine shape. His
recent long walks from the Pail to
Koolau have improved his wind greatly
and he has been taking the best of care
of himself for seven months past.
At the meeting of the wrestlers last
night the name of Sam Johnson was
suggested as referee and was accept
able to both parties Whether or not
he will consent to oRciate is not as yet

improvements to public schools were
advocated.
A larger annual appropriation to the

with tempting designs and colors for
the maid and the matron. Here can
be seen a complete range of imported
hosiery from the staple cottons at small
cost 10 the very finest designs in fancy
silks as wrought into veritable flower
patches by painstaking German ar
lists some at as high a cost as $50

gives a wide range for the matching

The models as shown are the best
