building. one two-story building and
the sheds of the kilns and all were
burned TO the ground. There being
no fire company or watey facilities

stand by and watch the place burn.
The fire was started by an inex-
perienced employe opening kiln
door before the fire had died down
sufficiently The flames shot out and
ignited the roof of the shed. The
man jumped aside to save his life
and could not again get near enough
to close the door. The blazing shed
ignited the other buildings.
1t was about $50 O'Clock when the
fire started and it burned fiercely for
over an hour. Being along the main
line of the Pennsylvania railroad,
train service was tied up while the
flames were at their height. The
telegraph service was also paralyzed
by the burning of the wires.
About thirty hands were employ
ed at the factory which manufactur-
ed floor tile. The place was rushed
with orders and plans had just been
made for building two more kilns.
An effort was made to get the Me-
tuchen fire department to come to the
scene, but the men refused unless an
alarm was sounded for them. This
place is about two miles and half
from Metuchen. Many people came
over from Metuchen, Fords and
other places, attracted by the glare

Tom Morris Cup
Results Monday

Next Sunday 1T the Country Club
the MeInerny cup will. be played for.
and big lot of golfers have entered
for the event. The cup. which is a
] magnificent work Of art. has to be
1 won three times by the same man,
and, no far. Thomas Gill, who has
captured II twice, appears to have .
mortgage on the trophy.
However, there are a lot of men
who are capable Of having a big try
to prevent Gill winning for the third
and last time on Sunday. and II will
rot go into some other players Gus
tody for the coming year.
The links at the Country Club are
looking very well Just now. and. al
though the rain has interfered with
the play recently. a number of en-
thusiasts regularly go out for a
game.
I Once the Mclnerny cup Is settled
there will be no match play until
September 8. when the Medal tour.
nament comes of. Labor Day will
be a holiday for most people, and
no doubt a large crowd OF golf play
ers and spectators win visit the club
and watch the Medal play.
No word has been heard as to
which team won the Tom Morris
cup, and the local players are anx-
ious to know where Hawaii stands
In the competition. :.
Although II Is not by any means
expected that the local men are ut
tho top OF the list. II Is thought that
our representatives have beaten more
teams than have defeated them.
Probably the Tenyo Maru. which
arrives on Monday next, will have
the long looked for results In the
mail, and then the golfers OF the
Territory will be able to sum.up the
strength Of the local game, as com
pared with that of the mainland

Entries close tonight for the Wall

The new tennis court at Laupahoe-
hoe had most successful opening
on Sunday. the 18th inst. An open
invitation, was extended to all per-
sons interested In tennis, and a
company Of nearly forty people re-
sponded. There were over thirty
good players assembled, and numer-
Gus good ssets were played. The
writer noticed amongst the crack
players Albert iorner and his two
sons. Albert. Jr.. and Foster Hor-
ner, also the Hamakua champion,
Eugene Horner. and his brother.
Arthur. Olaa was represented by
the ex.ciampion Of Hawaii. DR..

tingcnt OF good players. including
Lambert Thompson, Henderson and
Mccall, Papaaloa also showed up
well with Q force Of good players.
The court. which has just been
completed. Is well situated and II Is
hoped that frequent meetings Of
good players will tend to bring up
the sport, which has been dormant
for several years. J. 8. d. Mckenzie
was also on hand. but WAS unable to
play. owing to injuries received dur
Ing the football game at Hilo. Re-
freshments were served during the
