SOME MARATHON
INFORMATION

The management of the coming Mar
athon race at the league baseball
grounds is going about it's business in
workmanlike manner. Arrangements
have been made to survey the grounds
fer the track, and a rough estimate
of the surveyor in charge shows that
the track will be almost exactly four
laps to the mile.
The starting point will be so ar
ranged that the finishing line is exact
ly in front of the grandstand Each
competitor will have separate kokua
station and will be allowed to take
three men on the field with him to as
sist in handing him refreshment when
it is needed.
The list of prizes is very attractive.
Those who take part in the event may
take either cash, cups or medals. The
first prize will be 800; the second
prize, $50: the third, $25; the fourth,
fifth and sixth, SO; and the seventh.
eighth, ninth and tenth. So each.
Mr.. Scully is working hard to make
the affair conspicuous success. No
expense is being spared to make the
best of ali arrangements, and contest
ants and their friends may be sure
that every aid will he given to the
runners to help them in covering the
course in record time and themselves
with glory.

BOXING AT THE
ROYAL THEATER

There was boxing show at the
Royal Theater last night. 1t was very
entertaining to the crowd of River
street and neighborhood fans who col
leeted to watch the boxers. A twelve
foot ring was erected in, front of the
moving picture curtain, and here sew
erai young Hawaiian, Japanese and
Chinese boxers disported themselves
The show was well managed, and all
boxing was done with big gloves and
clean break The affair was an in
novation in the moving picture bust
ness and appeared to have been great
success judging by the crowd that fill
ed the house. The prices were low
and there was nothing in the way of
prizefight, as each of the boys was
boxing for fun. Sam Hop was the
moving spirit in the enterprise, back
ed by several Chinese athletic associ-
atoms

RETURNING coURTEsIEs.

The Yokohama japanese Chamber of
Commerce is in receipt of a eommuni-
cation from the Honolulu Chamber to
the effect that the latter has been APP
preached by the various chambers of
commerce on the Pacific slope with a
request that the Honolulu Chamber of
Commerce join them in inviting the
japanese business men to pay them
visit in the coming autumn. The COM
munieation also states that in reply TO
the above the Honolulu Chamber Of
Commerce has addressed the chambers
of commerce on the Pacific slope, stat.
ing that the Honolulu chamber will do
its best in welcoming the japanese
business men on their way to the Pa
eific coast.
1t is further stated that the cham
bers of commerce on the Pacific slope
will issue a formal invitation to the
japanese business men in due course.

MARATHON
RUNNERS TRAIN

The medal to be given to the winner
of the Y. NJ. C. A. Marathon race.
scheduled for June II, will be on view
in the windows of Wichman' s iewelry
store on Thursday.
The course of the race will be full
twenty-sIx miles and will be as follows:
Start on Kapiolani track, once round
the track, then down Kalakaua avenue,
down King street to Moanalua and re-
turn to Kapiolani track and then four
times around the track.
This race is for men who were mem
bers of the Y. NJ. c. A. on February q,
and for any member whose membership
has expired and wishes to renew. There
will be no rubdowns allowed in this
race. Nourishment and medical attend
ance in case of accident will be per-
mitted.
The race viii probably start at two
clock in the afternoon.
In the meantime DIR. Hand is looking
after the training of the contestants
very carefully. He believes in plenty
of time in which to train for such a
race and has instituted series of
evening runs and paper-chases for the
benefit of the runners.
There will be another night run to-
night with the distance prolonged from
that of last week. Next week the doe
tor intends to start the paper-chases,
than which there is no pleasanter form
of outdoor exercise
There are two teams of contestants
who are training. One is eaptained by
F. A. Bechert and the other by John
Carey. It is probable that the cross
country runs and paper-chases will
take more or less the form of competi-
lions between the two teams
There is talk of holding other events
at Kapiolani Park while the Marathon
race is being run. The High School
will furnish a team for a mile relay
race, and it is expected that the other
schools will come in. 1t is also hoped
that a 220-yard dash straightaway race
can be arranged in order to give such
contestants as Billy Rice a chance to
break the present Island record for the
distance.

NHEN HER bACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Honolulu women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life burden. Backache, hip
pains, headaches, dizzy spells, distress
ing urinary troubles, all tell OF sick
kidneys and warn you Of the stealthy
approach of diabetes, dropsy and
Bright's disease. Doan s Baekache
Kidney Pills permanently cure all
these disorders. Here's proof of it in
a Honolulu woman s words:
Mrs. Emma Vieira, of King street,
Honolulu, Hawaii, says: "For three
or four years my back ached terribly,
in fact SO bad that I could not describe
the misery I endured. I finally receiv-
ed relief through the use of Doan S
Backache Kidney Pills, procured at the
HOLSTER Drug Co. heartily recon-
mend this remedy to anyone having
backache or other kidney disorders. -
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers
at fifty cents per box (six boxes $500

by the HOLSTER Drug Co., Honolulu,

lands.

Sport Notes

A communication has been received
from the boys of the Kaahumanu
School Directing to having the age of
George Dai Fuku compared with those
of the other runners. The boys state
that many of the Punahou Prep. and
Central boys were over seventeen, es-
pecially the runners-up. However tina
may be, the japanese was full-grown
man, and it was certainly "incongru-
Gus, as was stated in the Advertiser,
to see him running and jumping with
youngsters.
Dick Sullivan will travel with Billy
Wieda as eliminate on his boxing and
moving picture show round the other
Islands, and not with Jack Weedy as
incorrectly stated in these columns a
few days ago. The two good sportsmen
have fine line of dope and will hand
it out to the distant parts of the Is
lands where moving pictures are few
and far between.

SOME DoN'Ts FOR AuToIsTs.

Don't sound your horn where two
streets cross,
Especially at night;
For trolley ears are fearful folk
And easily take fright.
Don It tell your chauffeur not to take
Your car out when you leave:
Twill save some disobedience that
Might help to make you grieve.
Don t use a match to find a leak
OF dripping gasoline
Unless you re near hospital
You IL gather what l mean.
Don t ever try to climb a tree
When driving your machine;
1t shakes the people in the back
And spills the gasoline
Don t ever 90 around a wall
1t wastes a lot of time;
Just butt right through the darned old
thing
Or take it on the climb.
Don It let pedestrians ever think
The streets were made for walking;
Put on the high and run them down.
1t saves a lot of talking.
Don't mix highballs with high speed
once,
The mixture won t endure;
Remember what the adage says
1.-THE higher is the fewer

some coeoanut trees fifteen to eighteen
feet in height and clusters of cocoa
nuts will be attached.
The art exhibit will be principally
made mp by Howard Hitchcock, who
will show from fifty to seventy five

complete albums of all the islands,
which will be kept in the rest rooms.
The Agricultural Station exhibit will
be very comprehensive showing Of

garden truck, to indicate possibilities
in this line in Hawaii.
In the sugar production display the
commissioners anticipate making a
very extensive showing. but the details
have not vet been worked ont.

to the whole exhibition will be the
picture display, accompanied by
lectures Oh the Islands The moving
picture films will be furnished by K.

This whole collection of films will be
one of the finest ever sent out from

tion. about 800 stereopticon slides of
