who was already considerably in the
lead At about the same time
Scharsh's leg began to fail, and the
race for first place slowly but GER
tainly began to narrow itself down to
Jackson and Dial Fahey. In the TWEEN
ty-tirst mile jackson stopped for a rub
down but was soon up. He was then
closely pressed by Fahey, but this last
ed no longer than it takes to tell it.
The champion started out on a long
squirt that, before it Stacked off, put
two full laps between him and his
competitor.
1t was then that jackson forced
Fahey to set the pace. This came at
ia most narrowing time and in a more
annoying way to the taller man, but
he made brave fight for his distance.
In the twenty-second mile Jackson was
two laps in the lead, Mahey second
and COMFY Hayes, who had been run
ming strong for several miles-third.

lent and promising shape.
The finish was exciting, except as
to the two principals. Jackson was
strong and fresh, and merely tried to
hold his lead on the sagging but game
Fahey. Near the line he shook hdnas
with his plucky opponent and dashed
in at a terrific pace.
There was a lively tussle between
little COMFY Hayes and old Kaoo for
third place, but the Waialua horse
Topped bit toward the last and a
small package of sprint dashed by him
to the finishing line. G. X. Charlie
held the crowd to see him finish fifth,
and others trailed in while the spec
tators took the shortcuts TO the cars

1t is doubtful if an important sport
ing event has ever been pulled off in
Hawaii that so completely satisfied
everybody. Chronic kickers were left
without a growl coming, and praise
for the fine work of the officials in
charge was heard at every hand. Ev-
erybody was more than satisfied. The
officials who made a success of the
day were: Senator Charles f. Chill
lingworth, Senator H. r. Moore and
Walter F. Drake, judges; Charles
Bartlett, clerk of course; AL. Thurlow
Charles Crane and H. M. Ayres, time
keepers Mayor Joseph Fern. starter;
G. V. Jaltins, scorer; J. T. Scully, ref
cree.
Jackson is pretty badly bunged up
today as a result of yesterdays hard
sprint His worst trouble is his an
kles, which are slightly sprained and
swollen. He is full of ginger, how
ever, and states that he will shortly
be in better shape than ever. Jackson
ascribes his success to his bulldog ten
acity, but gives full credit to his ko-
kua, Parker who was ever alert and
constantly urged him onward.
Dial Fahey was down town early this
morning and showed no sign of strain
from his great run. He is pretty stiff
and sore, however, but is otherwise
in good shape. Fahey states that he
ran the race precisely as he had plan
ned it. His great misfortune was in
not having a suitable helper, he hav-
ing lost several minutes onsthis one
account He thinks that had his ko-
kua been up to snuff the result would
surely have been different.
Fahey will begin training again very
shortly. One of his first tryouts will
be over the Waialua course covered
by the first Marathon. Jackson has
his ear to the ground in the direction
of the Coast, and he will not allow
temptations from that direction to go
unheeded. He believes there are lau-
rels over there for him.
