officially as yet. Each event will be
announced in japanese and English
from the grandstand. and those who

BANzAI! YOU JAP TARS.

Oh, You japanese sailors, how natty
you are,
How carefully dressed and so neat;
From the wide brimmed straw hats on
the top of your heads
To the well-polished shoes on your
feet.
It's Jolly to watch you, when walking
the street,
Intelligence beams from your faces,
IT'S easy to see that knowledge comes
free
To "Jap Tar" in all foreign places.
You wonderful people, you good little
men,
Oh, how can we help but admire you!
If only we told what a hit you have
made,
It's a cinch we should certainly tire
YOU.
But listen to this. my Japanese friends,
As a poet I never would slight you,
And I sure do not envy the country
that sends
4 navy to go out and fight You.

The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-

superb panorama. of the Golden Gate,
the Bay of San Francisco; crowded with
ships from all parts of the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
County on the other side of the bay,
with Mt. Diablo 80 miles to the south
east, and Mt. st. Helena over hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline. In the immediate foreground
of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed
In the Center of the City.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in
new and better way, is but few
minutes walk from the door of the
hotel. By means of the various street
car lines which pass its doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
stations, the banks and exchanges, re-
tail business and theater centers, as
well as the residence portions of the
city can be easily reached.
Unique Among the Worlds Hotels.
The Fairmont Hotel differs from al,
most any similar institution in the num-
Der of unique features which it offers
for the entertainment of its guests.
Because of these, it is easily the social
center of San Francisco; you might
say, of the State. Just as the old Palace
Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on a
new and greater scale at the old site
on Market street, was one of the most
famous hosteleries of the world, and
entertained guests of all nations, so the
Fairmont, under the same management
which SO adequately took care of the
affairs of the Palace, is most cosmo-
politan, and in it's halls Will be found
the experienced travellers from every
country of the world.

as one dimes, he may look out over the
bay and the shipping. Then there is
the beautiful grey breakfast room,
which is particularly well adapted for
private dinners, luncheons and ban.
quets. In other parts of the same floor
are found the special tea and card
rooms set aside for the use of guests
who wish to entertain in less formal
way. Then there are private dining
rooms, where organizations may meet
around friendly board. On floor A
is found the crypt, one of the most
unique cafes in existence. 1t is in the
corner of Mason and Sacramento and
is extremely popular with the business
men of San Francisco. 1t offers COM
Portable grill and bar for men, where
special attention is paid to the cook
ing of steaks and chops and old coun-
try dishes. The service here is swift
and efficient, and it is immensely popu-
lar as luncheon place for business
men.
Epitome of Hotel Excellence.
The Fairmont, as it stands today, in
the epitome of hotel excellence. The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Company had in the celebrated Palace
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John C. Kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of Installing into
a brand new house the spirit of hos
pitality which made the old Palace Ho-
tel celebrated in two hemispheres. How
well he has succeeded in doing this 10
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
like a garment, making his visit one
of delight, his leave-taking one of re-
greet, and his memory of the time so
spent one of great pleasure.
Only hotel in the world in which
every room has bath.
The Fairmont Hotel offers to the
traveller all the conveniences and luxu-
ries known to the best modern hotel,
together with many exclusive features,
some of which we have spoken of above
Every room in the entire hotel has
bath attached For $3.50 one may thus
enjoy a pleasant room, beautifully fur
nished in mahogany, with dainty
white-tiled bath; or, for as low as ten
dollars, suite of rooms. Visitors to
San Francisco may rest assured that &C
the Fairmont Hotel they will find only
the best of accommodations and service.

FAHY GETS HIS
FROM JAP SAILOR

Most of the contestants in the com
ing Marathon race took the advantage
of Sunday being holiday and did
some practise over the longer distances
they will have to run at the baseball
park. Kapiolani Park was dotted with
lightly-clad figures running round the
mile track, and friendly timekeepers
stalked round in great secrecy to tell
their principals in just what time they
had made each mile.
Dial Fahy and Nigel Jackson both
took rest. Fahy stated that his legs
were in excellent condition, but that
he felt like taking rest on Sunday
and SO went down to take a look at
the japanese cruisers. He got to talk
ing with one of the sailors who speaks
good English, on the subject of long
distance running, and took quite jolt
ordinary japanese citizen would think
anything of getting out and running
twenty-six miles.
Gin JAPAN said the man from the
sea, eve have thousands of men who
think nothing of running thirty miles
day pulling 'rickshaw behind them.
What would they do in Marathon
race where all they have to do is run
and nothing to pull behind them9''
This kept Dial Fahy guessing for a
few minutes Then it suddenly dawn
ed on him what would happen, and he
replied very earnestly "Well, l guess
! they would win the race
Tomorrow afternoon Jackson will
make tryout race against time at
| Kapiolani Park He states his inten-
ton of running twenty-five miles and
seeing just what time he can make
without being paced. He expects to
make this the last really long run that
he will try before the race, and will
confne himself during the time be-
mween then and the date of the big
Marathon to comparatively short dis
tances, with special breathing exercises
on arising to strengthen his wind.
! Work will be started on the league
| grounds this afternoon. The surveyor
! in charge will drive the stakes show
+! ing where the rope posts must be
| placed, and the contractors who have
/ been engaged to see to the placing of
the posts and ropes will start work
! later in the week.
Entries will close at E. o. Hall &
| Sons store at O'Clock this afternoon.
| The management states that absolute
! ly no entries will be taken after that
time, whatever the excuse. The rea-
son for this is that special arrange
ments have to be made for each con-
| testant, both with regard to scoring
and kokua station. It is essential that
the number of contestants be known
at least ten days before the date of
the race.
AS soon as possible, the league
grounds will be open for practise run
ming. When the track is roped off and
everything put in shape, the contest
ants will be permitted to run over the
actual course during certain hours of
| the day.

TWO UNOFFICIAL
GAMES AT AALA

One game at Aala park yesterday at
fernoon was forfeited and the other
was made unofficial on account of there
being no official umpire. Eddie Fer
Dandez was unable to be present and
so Nigel Jackson took his place but the
White Sox and Aalas wanted their own
original Eddie and so the game was
declared to be unofficial
The finish Of the series Of this league
is not proving a gigantic success. There
is much FORGETTING of games and nobody
seems to know what the standing is.
The official scorer has not been present
for the last two Sundays and it is more
than an ordinary reporter can do to
unravel the complex tangle OF the for
feited and unofficial games with those
that are official and so state just what
the league standing is.
The first game yesterday was be-
tween the White Sox and the Aalas.
The former won by the score of to 2.
The second game was forfeited by the
Reach team to the C. A. Cs. and the
latter won joke game by to 2.
From the start it could be seen that
nobody was taking the game seriously.
The fans laughed good naturally at the
fool plays that went on, but there was
an undercurrent of peevishness and the
empty chairs bore evidence to the feel
ing Of sourness that is being engender-
ed by the slack way in which the league
is closing its season.
There is internecine warfare too. The
Reach boys state that they will play
no more at Aala park but will start
next Sunday in the Kapiolani League.
1t seems a great pity that the finish
of the series should be so unsatisfactory
after the splendid start it made.
The action of the league in postpon-
ing the games on account of the Mara
thon to Haleiwa was sportsmanlike in
every way. This postponement may
have had something to do with the pres
ent unsatisfactory state of affairs, but
it does not look as though it should
have been disturbing agent.
Either the management of the league
will get together and take summary
action or the series will fzzle out and
die an unregretted death. Mr.. Vlerra
is very capable and energetic base
ball magnate If he will call a meet.
ing and have this matter thrashed out,
the sporting page of this paper will be
open to give publicity to any action
that may be taken.
At present things are all to the foo
FOO Nobody seems to know who is
leading in the series nor when the
postponed games viii be played off
The Aala fans follow the games very
seriously and look for strenuous base,
ball. At present they are getting moth
ing but games for the fun of the thing
Baseball is played for sport and fol
fun. But league, when it advertises
a series of games and cups to be given
to the winners and also charges rent
for seats, should take certain amount
of trouble to have the games brought
off on schedule and to have as few for
feited games as possible.

Unequaled Entertainment Features.

Unequaled Entertainment Features.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. Its walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are deeora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are a very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west Of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, a hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
the best illustration of a hall of the
Norman period. Even the. tesselated
floor is made of special design, a char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers of
quaint design, made of handwrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a broau,
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene,
reminding one largely of Paris or the
embankment in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama of mountain and sea.
Numerous Dining Places.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of it's different dining places.
In them one may find a place to dine
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers a convenient grill for
ladies and gentlemen. Further on is
the main dining salon, with aceommoda-
tions for three hundred people. This
room is done in white and gold with
silken tapestries From it's windows,

KANSAS CITY, March 25.-Frank
Gotch tonight retained his champion
ship title by defeating Raoul de Rouen
in straight falls. The winning fall

The Frenehman allowed his shoulders
to be put to the mat almost without
an effort. De Houen was repeatedly
cheered for his gameness. With the
exception of a few minutes when the
men We're on their feet, Gotch was al
ways the aggressor. The champion
was never in serious trouble. He really
won the bout in the first fall, when he
so weakened his opponent with the toe
hold that De Bouen did not care TO
repeat the experience in the second
fall. The time of the falls was 34:45
