FAMOUS RUNNER MAY
RACE IN HONOLULU

There is a change that Honoulans
may have an opportunity to see Long
boat, Shrubb Doraudo, Hayes or some
other famous long distance runner be-
fore very long.
Senator Chillingworth stated last
night that in conversation with q. W.
Smith he has suggested that it wouId
be a mighty good idea along the line
of promotion work to get one of the
famous Marathon runners to come to
Hawaii to run a race.
Mr.. Smith likes the idea and told
Chiningworth that he thought that
there would be no difficulty in raising
fund, say of a couple of thousand
dollars, to make such a race possible.
While it is conceded that on a track
any one of the cracks named would
have things all his own way, it would
be a different matter when it came
to running over a course like that used
in the recent race from here to Hale
iva.
Great interest would be taken on
the mainland in race between a
States champion and the champion OF
Hawaii. Much valuable space would
be devoted to it in the newspapers and
the Territory would in that way re-
ceive advertising which would cost
thousands of dollars were it to be paid
for by the line
Such a contest would eloquently re-

SPLENDID WELCOME
TO JAPANESE CRUISERS
AND soYA. FIGH TIERS ARRIVE
EARLY ToDAY-MET BY OFFICIALS, RECEPTION COMMITTEES
sAMPANs OUTSIDE WILL STAY HERE TEN
DAYS UgFj * .J4f

Shortly after daylight this morning
the Japanese cruisers Also and Soya
were sighted off Barber's Point and at
z o'clock they had arrived off port,
swinging in toward the bell buoy.
Their lead, gray sides, four tunnels
apiece and warlike aspect generally
presented an imposing scene on the
closer sea-scape, Immediately attract
ing a steadily growing crowd to the
docks.
AS soon as it was sufficiently light,
the Japanese sampan fleet began to
move. About thirty sampdns had been
decorated during the night, and, TEEN
ing with happy Oriental humanity,
steamed out from two sides of the har-
Dor and joined near the lighthouse
about Z o'clock. These pretty, swift
craft flew large Japanese banners fore
and aft, and were deliberately decor
ated in Japanese style.
About the same hour as the sampans
began to move, Commander Moses, Of
the United States naval station, made
ready the station launch, and shortly
afterward Japanese Consul Uyeno and
party arrived. These officials left at
once for the open sea, steaming di-
rectly for the flagship where they met
the Admiral
At o'clock salutes were exchanged
between the ships and the naval sta
ton and the latter fired a salute in
honor of Admiral Ichiji.
The vessels were brought in and
moored at Naval docks Numbers 2 and
8, being the same places occupied by
the British cruisers some Gays ago.
There they will take on coal, after
which they will be thrown open to
the public.
All sorts of entertainments have
been arranged by the Japanese of Ho-
nolulu for the entertainment Of Off
GERS and men of the visiting cruisers.
Theaters will all be run full blast and
series of sports are being arranged
for the strangers. Admiral Ichiji and
his officers will come in for elaborate
entertainment officially and privately

flute the oft quoted libel that the eli
mate of Hawaii is too hot for the
white man to work, much less play in,
for it needs no argument to prove that
in a country where Marathon racing
fourishes almost anything else requir-
ing a maximum of physical exertion
can be done.
Senator Chillingworth will take the
matter in hand and look further into
it. He is of the opinion that the Ma
rathon craze is not so ephemeral as
many profess to believe but thinks
that, on the mainland at least, Mara
thon running has come to stay. And
it is the way of Hawaii that what is
in vogue on the mainland sooner or
later comes into favor here.
Marathon running in the States Will
have it's regular season which Will pro-
badly close with the ending of the
field and track season. Thereafter the
crack Marathoners will have time to
spare until the season starts again and
the chances are that very favorable
financial arrangements might be made
with one of them to visit Hawaii and
run a race here.
If no local man can be developed
who stands a chance of winning from
one of the top notchers, two of them
might be brought here and matched
to run for a purse which would make
their efforts worth while.

Sport was the theme or the after
dinner conversation of the dozen
guests gathered at the Young Hotel
last night, to dine at the invitation
of Jack Scully the affair being a plea
SAINT aftermath of the recent excursion
from Honolulu to Haleiwa, which was
arranged by Mr.. Scully.
Present were: Messrs. E. b. Blan-
chard, C. F. Chillingworth, II. r.
Moore, Bob King, Will Prestidge, Jack
Scully, Jack Densham, ". Steven
son, Laws and H. NJ Ayres.
Dinner served in the chefs best
style having been disposed of, the
guests each said a few words on local
sports.
It was agreed that the past year
marked an epoch in local sport in
that by the institution of such events
as the Waikiki walking race and the
run to Haleiwa individuals other than
college athletes were given a chance
to see for themselves and show others
what they could do in the athletic
line.
1t was the opinion of those present
that such events had done a great deal
of good in getting men into training
and in stimulating interest in pedes-
trianism.
From what was said last night the
Waikiki walking race and the run to
Haleiwa will be made annual events
and will be topped off by a Marathon
run over the regulation distance, sucn
as is to be held at the ball park on
April IS.

Advertisements of the race have
been put in the Japanese and Chinese
papers and the announcement that a
prize of a hundred dollars has been
offered has created a rurore among
the Orientals. All this morning en-
quiries were made at the newspaper
offices as to what the conditions or
the race are and it looks as if there
would be a Chinese and Japanese in
the line of starters.
