WALkEEST LIST
GROWING FAST
Roadway May Be Roped to
Keep Crowds Back in
Next Race.
By F. M. Cheatham.

Owing to the fact that Jack Densham
has been laid up through illness and
that Herbert NJ. Ayres has been in Hilo
the past week, arrangements have not
advanced great deal for the two walk
ing contests to be pulled off within the
beginning to come in, and there is no
doubt but that there will be plenty of
starters in the elimination race next
Sunday, entries for the main event of
the following week depending, of
course, upon the number finishing the
first event within the required nine
teen minutes.
A glance over the official times of the
last race shows the following to have
finished in good enough time to be eli
gible for the race of the 18th without
the necessity of competing in the elm
ination race next Sunday Sullivan,
Ayres, Cheatham, Densham, Dial Fahey,
Hang Chack, Sam Hop, Huihui. Old
Man Boisse> is out of luck, for he fin
ished in 1871, just one second to the
bad. But he says the try-out next Sun
day will do him much more good than
harm, and he expects to finish this
easily in 1S.
There were thirty-fve entries in the
open event last time, four in the vet
Grams race and nine in the heavy
weight class. Of the former nearly all
started, but in the latter only three of
the nine got away. From the talk
around town the entries for the elimi-
nation event of next Sunday will great
ly surpass those of the last race, and
will perhaps make it necessary to walk
this race in heats. This method will
do away with much of the crowding at
the getaway and will give every con-
testant better field. Another matter
that will be better taken care of this
time is the way in which the crowd
viii be handled at the finish. This
crowd will in all probability outnum-
Der the last one ten to one, so that
ropes win have to be used to keep a
clear lane from the Moana on to The
Waikiki Inn. Permit for thus fencing
a part of the street will no doubt be
granted by the powers that be, and
thus make room for some Embarrassing
finishes by closely competing contest
ants
All efforts to get any statistics as tc
world S records for different distances
IN walking contests has so far proven
fruitless. The Worlds Almanac and
similar publications are silent in the
matter. If any one can furnish the
sporting editor of this paper with such
information same will be duly appre
aciated.
Now, if you want to walk and are
neither over sixty nor weigh 200 pound:
or more, remember that your name must
be entered before six o'clock next Sat
urday evening for the elimination race
of the following afternoon at two
O'Clock, starting at King street anc
the Waikiki road. If you finish in is
minutes you can then enter the cup race
the following week. If you are eligible
to either the veteran or the heavy
weight class, you do not have to com
pete in a preliminary race, but can en-
ter up to six O'Clock, Saturday, Jan
uary 10, for the events of the followino
day. All entries must be handed in to
the Advertiser office or to a member OF
the committee in charge, Messrs, Ayers
Densham and Cheatham.

Principal Cullen of the Ely schools
is understood TO have been before the
school trustees last night with refer
ence to a complaint of brutality
which has been much talked abont
since last riday. when the school
teacher struck a Hiss Plassner, a
pupil aged | , years. The young lady

summoned. olreet report had IL that

nignt but took no action. They will
investigate further. II is stated. Mr.
Plassner was sought last night by a
reporter but could not he found. Mr..
Cullen made the following statement:
THE stories told by Miss Piassner
are greatly exaggerated and while |
punished her by Shaping her with a
ruler across the shoulders. the blows
were not of sufficient force to hurt
her. much less 10 cause her bodily
harm. The punishment was not adj
ministered until every other means
had been exhausted in the way of
disciplining her.

/ doctor, | will refer YOU to the physi-

i tell you that she was in no way hurt.

marks, she would behave herself.

STATE VOTES DOWN

Ridiculously Small Vote in
New Jersey on Gov

TRENTON, n. J., Sept. BIN a vote
so small that in some sections Of the
State 1t approached the ridiculous, New
Jersey yesterday rejected all OF the five
proposed constitutional amendments by
a majority OF about 25.0O0 as estimated
today IN the Offices Of the secretary of
State. Owing to the general lack Of
interest In the election. returns were
hard 70 get. particularly in the rural
section, and 1t win probably be several
days before the official figures are
known
The returns IN each county will be
canvassed next Monday morning by the
county election boards and they will
report their findings 10 the Secretary Of
state. It is expected the official re-
turns will show that Monmouth and
possibly Morris county voted in favor
OF the amendments, but by small ma
Jortties- It IS likely that the canvas
VIII show close results in Bergen and
Somerset counties. In all other Counties
the amendments were defeated by re-
latively overwhelming naiorfties Es-
sex county opposed them by 1000 ma
Jority and Camden county defeated
Jhem by about the same vote
Governor Fort, who favored the
amendments and worked hard to have
them adopted, carried his home town,
East Orange, for them by about S75 ma
1Ority. This was the only large city
70 give them a majority.
