TEN-M|LE RACE
THIS FTERNOON
MANY Nationalities Will Be
Seen at the Athletic
Park.

The ten-mile race this afternoon at
the Athletic Park will start promptly
at $3.50 and will have representatives
of more nationalities than any race
ever pulled off.
For the benefit of the Naval visitors
it may be explained that Nigel Jack
son of British extraction has won two
public long distance events here. From
Honolulu to Haleiwa on the road, a
distance of some thirtytwo miles and
a regular Marathon distance round a
track at the league grounds.
Last July 4 he went to Hilo, on the
Island of Hawaii, and was defeated
over a ten-mile course by Japanese
runner named Tsukamoto. The latter
has been brought over from Hilo to
run against Jackson and the other en-
tries and there is huge excitement over
the event.
In addition to the Britisher and the
Jap there are several Americans en-
tered, among them being Downey who
is touted to give the winner hard
run for his money. There are several
Hawaiians and part Hawaiians entered
among whom is Antoine Kaoo, surnamed
s'The Waialua Horse'' on account of
his marvellous long distance running
ability.
Then there is little Chinese runner,
C. X. Charlie. The latter was the
shortest contestant in the Marathon
race but, without any training at all
put up wonderful race and finished
we'll up with the bunch. He takes a
regular st. Yves step, perhaps even
shorter, and pit-patters round the track
at an even pace without ever stopping
or going faster or slower.
1t is unfortunate that one of the elias
siest runners of the entries will be IN
able to compete. George Addison, the
smiling mail carrier, finds that the rush
of business in the postoffice will make
it impossible for him to enter. George
stated last night that he did not ~see
any chance of getting away but that,
if by any chance he were able to find
time, he would surely be at the park
to enter the race as he has trained
faithfully for the event and is in grand
condition.

The purpose of the United States
army tournament at Dallas August
22-29 is 10 give the people clear
conception of the activities in the
army When the authorities at
Washington granted Dallas the
tourney, (only few cities in the
United States have been granted
similar tournaments) they laid
great stress on their reason for such
action Their reason they stated was
this: We want this to be people
affair We want the people of our
country to see for themselves what
the army represents. We want them
to see tie discipline that prevails,
the quality Of food served, the nature
OF the work which devolves upon the
soldiers in time OF peace, and the
nature OF the work which will be
theirs in time of war
The government has appropriated
$4,000 for the tourney and the cit
liens of Dallas will put up as much
more to meet all expenses incurred
by the big enterprise,

IMMIGRANT TIDE
FROM GERMANY

Berlin, Germany, Jan. 20.-The mum.
Der of pas sengers booked for steerage
accommodation on steamships leaving
German ports this week indicates that
the tide of emigration to America is
again setting in apace. The Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse left Berlin yester-
day will all berths taken and 1000
steerage passengers will leave later
in the week for Galveston and Balti-
more, to be followed by 1900 emf
grants bound for New York. The total
for the week on one line alone will
be 800 passengers who intend to
make their home3 in America. Steam
ship officials are elated and hope that
the volume of emigration during the
spring and summer will tend to make
up to a considerable extent for the
slack traffic of 1908, when the number
of persons leaving Europe for America
fell nearly 100000 below the records
for the previous year, the decrease af-
fecting profits disastrously. The pres
ent change is attributed largely to the
respect of improved economic cOndi-
tons in America. The increase of
steerage traffic is especially note
worthy in view of the fact that rates
for this class lately have been in
creased.
