KALAKAUA AVENUE WALKING
RACE ENTHUSIASM GROWING
Entries viii Close at the End of the Week.
The Prize List Will Open Today
Many Expected.

Entries for the Kalakaua avenue
walking race will close next Saturday
at nine O'Clock at the Fort street store
of Wall, Nichols Company. No entries
will be taken in after that date.
Already there are several entries in,
but people have a way of putting
things off until the last moment SO it
is probable that most of the entries
will not come until some time this
week.
This race is one of the few purely
and entirely amateur sporting events
that is pulled of in Honolulu. The
first one came off last year about this
time and resulted from a talk and con-
seouent wager between two fat men
who each said that he could walk
faster than the other. The idea was
taken up by some of the sports and
soon, from being mere match for
wager, there was an open race for all
corners, a fat man IS race and race
for old men.
The affair was taken up by the papers
and, on the day of the race, thousands
of SPECTATORS lined Kalakaua avenue to
watch the doings. Automobiles, rigs
and bicvcles followed the walkers over
the course and everybody had good
time.
The race was such success that
another race was arranged. rms time,
to prevent competitors who had no
chance of winning, from obstructlng
the course, an elimination race was ar
ranged and all competitors had to make
the distance in less than nineteen MIN
utes in order to enter the main event.
An Elimination Race.
This method win be followed this
time. On Sunday, December l., the
elimination race will start at one
O'Clock from the junction of kalakaua
avenue and King street. The finish
will be opposite the Waikiki Inn aud
the distance is a trifie more than one
mile and three quarters.
The reason that one clock has been
settled on is that the race will then
not interfere with the baseball series,
which will be being played at the
Athletic Park and is also well after
church hours.
The prize .iss viii open today. Mer-
chants who wish to donate prizes, as
they did last year, would do a favor
NV communicating with the sporting de-
nartment OF The Advertiser, when their
names and prizes they wish to donate
win be given due publicity.
Then the Final Race.
The final race will be walked on Sun
day. December 10. On this date, too,
tne fat men 5 and old mans walking
races will come off. NJ. H. Webb IS
the champion of the veterans and II
Artie McDuffie is the champion OF the
heavyweights.
1t Is hard to pick out possible win
ner at this time. There is Dick SulIl'
van, the present champion, and Il. NJ
Avres, the veteran who shows more
style in walking than all the Others
Tut together Then there is Cheatham,
McTighe. Sam Hop and many others
who made a good showing last year
Henry ChiIlingworth is also some class

Rules Strictly Enforced.
This year the rules will be strictly
enforced. There will be no leaning
over and going on a dog trot as many
of the walkers did last time. Each
contestant must place his heel on the
ground before the toes of his other
foot leave the ground and he must lock
his knee fairly at the end of each
stride.
A very competent list of judges has
been selected and the timers, starters
and other officials all know their bust
ness. The race this year bids fair to
be even a greater success than last
time.

NJ GRATH WOULD
BRING ST. YVES
Famous Coast Sport Wants to
Show the Champion and
Hayes Here.

Tim McGrath has the Honolulu mar
athon bug in his bonnet. He wants
to bring down Johnny Hayes and
Henry st. Yves, the two famous mara
thon runners, and race. them against
the local champions. Tim has the man
agement of both of these men and mas
written to Joe Cohen to see what can
be done.
1t would certainly be an enormous
attraction if the two famous long-dis-
lance runners should be pitted against
Kaoo and Tsukamoto, not TO mention
good old Nigel Jackson, the Marathon
Kid. who might well make a better
showing in another race.
The time made in the iast marathon
was exceptionally good for this eli
mate. There are many who believe
that if the two champions were to
come here they would find the change
of climate trying and could not make
any better than three hours.
There is no doubt whatever that if
Kaoo or Tsukamoto were put 60 it they
could do the distance in three hours
fiat, and, with Hayes or ST. Yves to
make the pace and the wonderful
sprinting powers they have both
shown. they should be able to make
it very hard for the international
champions.
Expense a Drawback
The only trouble is the matter of
expense. If Tim McGrath is willing to
bring his men down merely for the ex.
penses of the trip, Joe Cohen might
take chance, but if he stands out
for any big guarantee, it would be all
off. as these Islands will not stand for
anything large in the way Of gate re-
ceipts.
On the other hand. the event would
be of such an interesting character
that it is quite possible that a far
larger number of people would turn
out to see it than there were at any
of the previous events.
The fact of the matter is that Tim
McGrath has read so much in the pa
pers about the Honolulu marathon run
ners that he has an idea that Homo
lulu is just about marathon crazy. He
probably has dreams of coming down
here, having a pleasant trip and reap
ing many golden berries from hau trees
or something of that sort.
Sports Would Like It.
All the sports would be glad to see
the famous runners come here. and
they would certainly be willing to pay
their little piece to see the champion
runner Of the world, and hope to see
Hawaiian Islander beat him. Tim
might do worse than take a chance
and come down here 1t is hardly pos
sible that he would lose anything and
he would certainly have a most de-
lightful trip and visit
Neither Kaoo or Tsukamoto has yet
ben seen on the subject, but there is
little doubt that they would agree ia
run. Now that this thing has been
proposed, there viii doubtless be a
grand rush of managers. All the man
agerial magnates viii be buzzing round
with chests protruding and an awful
air of Importance. Finally they will
probably have TO throw up a coin or
shake dice to see who is the real man
ager and who is not. 1t Is to laugh.

The possession OF land is regarded
with almost approximations venerati0n
By the peasants OF Russia A parable!
OF this feeling is found In the Eastern
tale Of NGshr EddiI Hodga. who met
a peasant one day with a donkey, over
whose back hung two sacks. one lIled
with stones. the other with wheat the
stones having been added TO balance
the wheat "Why not divide the
wheat INTO two parts insteadf" sug
gested Nashr Eddin Hodga Delighted
with the idea. the peasant did as be
was advised. and hung the two sacks
of wheat over the donkey's back
"And where are your lands. o wise
stranger?" he asked. humbly. Il have
no lands" answered the other. "YouI
estates. then. and your palaees?" in
quired the peasant Il have none
said the other. Then your houses
your gardens. your Orchards7" per
sisted the man. amazed. Il have lone
of these" smiled the sage. What
cried the outraged peasant DO you
who have no lands and no possessions
presume to give advice TO met" And
he unloaded the donkey. rearrangcd
the wheat and stones as before and
proceeded on his way.

Inquiry of Home.

It is only a little thing, but Il
makes a lasting impression, and
that is the way some people make
It a point always to ask after a GER
.ain member of the household. IL
nay be the invalid mother, or IA
ther, OF q convalescent child. or per-
haps the baby. Just who is the
ubject Of inquiry makes little diff
ference, but the fact that friend
recognizes that your home life CEN
.ers, for the time, more or less
around one member is pleasing.
There are some good friends who
never think TO make inquiries about
any Of the family. II is impossible
not to contrast them with those
who are quite the opposite in their
.houghtfulness. One person never
'ails to ask how near relatives are.
She realizes how close the ties are.
Does such an inquiry make the day
brighter Indeed, It does.

night. and 10 kept going at that rate

darkness are all the same to The af-
tiicted ones. but they insist upon illu-
mination brilliant enough for a recep-
ton. And that Partially for light is
not a whim peculiar to those two eou-
pies. Most blind people feel that way.
They demand the light. and in all pri-
vate homes and institutions WI re

Alan Johnstone is said to have
originated the famous club sandwich.
anu the story runs that on going to
the club one night between midnight
and daybreak he found the cafe
closed, the cooks gone. and being
nearly famished, he invaded the lard.

Of bread, sliced them through. butter
ed them while hot and laid thereon

tor, cold chicken. ham and lettuce.
with a spoonful Of mayonDaise.
The result was such an epicurean
discovery as Is not often made. but
the story was too good to keep; he
cohfided the recipe to his cronies and
It straightway became one of the
popular dishes OF the club menu. and
