U. S. S. California, Aug. IS, 1909.
Mr. Jack Scully, Honolulu.
Dear SiT:-We have a very good
man aboard this ship, and would like
to match him with Dick Sullivan who
is now in Honolulu or anybody you
can get. He fights at 1874 lbs, A few
pounds either way won't make any
difference. He is we'll known around
Oakland as Battling Robinson. He
was sparring partner for Sam Lang,
ford while he was in the west. His
last fight was with Young of the Buff
falo. He beat him in the twenty
seventh round of what was to have
been a 45-round bout.
! hope you can match him with
I someone either in the fleet or from
Honolulu He is willing to give any
one in the fleet a side bet Hoping
to hear from you in the near future
/ remain, yours truly.

BIG FISH
GAMBLING
FISHNIARKETS RUNNING GAMES
OF CHANCE ON THE WEIGHT
OF FISH.

Since the police have been making
il warm for gamblers and the spirit
of chance must out, the fishmarkets
on King street have become the re-
sorts of the wager worshippers.
For several weeks a game has been
gradually growing until now it has
reached considerable proportions,
and men of all nationalities engage
therein.
1t is simple. A crowd gathers about
fish stall and each man makes a
guess at the weight of a certain Sc
lected fish, also each man puts up
twenty-five cents, fifty cents of the
pot going to the stallkeeper for his
pains. going into the "kitty,' as it
were.
Then the fish is weighed in the
sight of all and the man who has
guessed nearest to the correct weight
takes all the money in sight.
The swindling element enters into
the proposition, too. For of late the
stallkeepers have taken to weighing
the fish in secret, ascertaining the
exact weight and then getting a con
federate to guess within the fraction
of an ounce, whereupon the confeder
ate gathers in all the twenty-five
cent pieces and later divides with
the swindling stallkeeper.

TREE: PUTS
PIPES ON
ITSROOTS
GRAMMAR SCHOOL SEWER SYS-
TEN PARALYZED THROUGH
PLANTS GREAT GROWTH.

The public scnool system needs a
plumber. Today the plumbers are
gathering together to formulate bids
on the cost of the solution of a mys-
terry, and the City and County of Ho-
noluu must pay the plumber.
1t is a sewer mystery. Not that
Chester Doyle or any human being is
hiding in a man-hole to send sewer
messages to the insane asylum, as
the NOSE recent paranoeac insisted. and
not that there is any ghostly telephon,
connection. This time it is a tree, a
supposedly innocent, near-to-nature
tree which has stirred the people of the
Grammar School on Emma street, and
caused them to call upon the City
Fathers to relieve the situation.
The roots of a tree growing in the
yard of the building which was built
by Princess Ruth and which is now
the Grammar School has insinuated
themselves into the pipes and, grow
ing to as great a size as the size OF
the pipes would permit, these roots
llclNC ulIullN SuCCCOuGu Ill pluBSluS Tic
pipes and rendering them useless.
Upon the reopening of school the
situation was discovered and the Gram
mar School sewer is paralyzed until
the plumber gets at the pipes and re-
moves the roots. Just how this can
be done has not been settled. 1t is
up to the plumber.
Whether to pull the pipes off the
roots, or to pull the roots out of the
pipes? 1t may be simpler to let the
tree wear the boots it has got its feet
into, and the plumber can lay a new
sewer for the affected section.
How the tree got into the sewer is a
mystery, but it may be an indication OF
the sagacity of plants. Possibly there
was not sufficient moisture for the
roots of the tree and the wise OLD
plant reached out for the pipes wherein
there was water

Another narrow escape from acct

the section of Hotel street between
Alakea and Richards, once more

street at that point is not widened.
The matter of widening this street
opposite the Hawaiian Hotel was pro

necessary rights of way have been
acquired.
