finish OF the third annual Kalakaua
walking race yesterday afternoon. with
Nigel Jackson trailing him by four
seconds. and within a minute and half
the entire string of amblers were lost
amid the surging throng which swarm,
ed like ants over the broad thorough
fare in front of the Waikiki Inn.
Automobiles, bearing officials and spec
tators, troopers on horseback, Skin
mlsh line on bicycles, deployed among
the vehicles, and a weary rabble of fol
lowers, who had hung onto the tail of
the procession all the way. burst in
among the crowd in waiting. As the
sturdy strollers trudged into this human
whirlpool, the band piped up a stir
ring air, all merged into one frenzy of
connection and then, in a little while
faded away.
Truly Sam Hop is deserving of hearty
congratulations and should have been
enveloped in laurels of leis, for the
bowling success of this third occasion
was due to his indomitable energy and
Overpowering perseverance. which frus-
trated lethargy in this case. No one
but Sam seemed to take any interest in
promoting this annual event, which was
put on the card two years ago, and Hop
worked the whole thing Up himself.
Get Away on Time.
Nearly all the officials and nine of
the contestants showed up at the corner
of Kalakaua avenue and King street
before the appointed time, and it was
only a few minutes after two-thirty
clock when the hotfooters lined up
for the stretch. Mayor Fern, who was
appointed to officiate as starter, was
not around at the time and Bill Chiffon
pronounced the word ''go.'
The strOllers got away in a bunch
with Sam Hop in the lead. Then Will
son Feagler forged ahead for a while,
but the old Waialua Horse caught his
juuntv little stride and walked away
from Feagler. Kaoo went bare foot
and his gait was easier than all the
rest. Some said he was running, but
one foot never left the ground until
the other was down. He took rather
short. quick steps, and one seemed to
roll right into the other, like a rocking
cradle movement. which. with gentle
swing of the arms, carried him along

ut winning pace without the awkward
swing that characterized the rest.
Nigel Jackson soon got into the
argument and despite his windmill
movement, which looked as though he
was propelling himself with his arms,
he held the pace with the old Hawaii
an and the two played leapfrog all the
way.
jackson walked as though he was
full of cogwheels that had loosened up
through the strain and he plowed along
by Jerks. He kept up the effort. how
ever, and just before the finish line
was reached he spurted ahead of An
tone Kaoo. The exact location of the
finish line was not clearly defined from
a distance and Nigel started his squirt
TOO soon. He couldn I, hold the pace
long enough and seeing that it was
hopeless he slowed down before the
tape was reached.
The Judges kept abreast of the lead
ers from the start to the finish and the
whole course was strewn with automo-
biles. horsemen. and wheelmen, and
multitude logged along afoot behind and
between The real contest was between
Kaoo and Jackson while the rest of the
mixers punched up in the rear.
Making Good Time.
Bill Chiffon beat it ahead on his
motorcycle to time the pedestrians as
they came in and Antonio Marcalllno
checked off the ramblers as each crossed
the finish line.
Kaoo covered the course in fifteen

or rubber can withstand that strain
and the bags burst. This has been
proved on number of wrecks where
the air bags were used.
Golfer Dam Method.
Another method is that of Golfer
dams. Either the dams are built in
side the ship, the holes patched and
the water pumped out, or else they are
built all around the vessel and the
pumps set to work. AS it seems i'm
possible to get at the hole in the Maine,
the second method would be the one
used, and / don't see how it can be
done. First, you must get firm bot
tom to hold it on, and the raisers would
have to drive the whole of that dam
through that IS feet or more of mud,
and then not be certain as to what they
would find underneath. The pressure
at the depth in which the Maine lies
is nearly ~ pounds to the square inch.
and so each square foot of the dam,
when the water pumped out from in
side it, would be subject to pressure
of about 1,72S pounds. Unless it was
well braced, it could not withstand 1t,
and there is apparently no way that
braces can be placed so as to hold 1t.
But let us suppose that this way
is attempted and the water pumped
out, who could live down there among
that disease filled filth? 1t has been
suggested that the men could be equip
ped with oxygen helmets but while tn
would be protected the men who would
have to unload the buckets would be
exposed and so you would have an aw-
full time in a few days. 1t Is doubtful,
no matter what precautions were taxi
en-. if anything could prevent an epi-
dem is in the city If so large an area
were exposed.
Let us return to the system of clos
ing the vessel up from the inside. There
is one way of removing sand, etc, from
ship, and that Is by centrifugal
pumps; but in this case they would be
practically useless, for as fast as they
sucked out the mud it would pour into
the holes, and also because of the fact
that there Is no current there the muck
would settle back on the bottom of the
harbor to be carried back against the
sides of the ship with each fall"

WAGON LOAD OF GOLD.
Quantities of Precious Metal Carted
Throuah London Streets.

Scores of people passing through
the streets of London recently
must have been nearer to fortune
than they have ever been in their
lives. or are likely to be- again.
The fortune consisted sOf six and
a half tons of gold coins which. un-
known to the public, were conveyed
through the busiest streets, in ordin-
airy London & Northwestern railway
parcel wagons, to the secure vaults
of the Bank of England. 1t was speed
lily followed by sc tons of bar silver
the whole consignment being valued
at about $1.000.000.
The special bullion car. which at
tached to an express passenger train
brought the gold to London immcdi-
diatcly after it had been landed from
the Mauretania at Liverpool. was hid
den in an obscure siding at FuStOn.
1t is built of solid steel. which
would tax the ingenuity OF the clev-
ortS CraCksman. The heavy doors are
fastened by burglar-proof locks while
the windows. which, to outward APP
pcaranCc, are glass, are covered inside
with sheets of perforated steel.
Half way down the car is an iron
grille. which. even SuppuSing thief
gained admission. would cuniine mis-
operations to one half of the space.
To render things dnubly secure a
special compartment is built as one
end of the car which detectives car
sit and keep observation of tn" whole
of the bullion through round. glass
covered holes cut i'm the steel frame
Throughout the journey the bullion
car is kept brilliantly illuminated by
Il light in the centre.
The golden freight was packed il
wooden boxes bound with hoops OF
iron. Peforc being placed on the train
each box was weighed and scaled and
receipts handed To the captain and
purScr of the Maurctania.

itself in Il special bullion train from

"Once upon a time there lived a
good man who was soliciting contri-
buttons for the erection of an orphan
asylum." said the story teller, accord
ing to Answers. He had been to
many rich people and received liberal
contributions. which were entered in
a book he had for that purpose.
Among these many names appeared
Mrs. Rupert Smythe.' The good man
went to Mr.. Smythe's office, and show
ing him the contribution entered by
Mrs Smythe, asked if he would not
give a like sum. And what do you
suppose he did,"

One day when he entered n drug
store in the center of the city, the
minister, who was somewhat near
sighted, thought that he saw his wife
making purchases in the rear of the
store and standing right near the door
was the gold-headed umbrella-could
he believe his eyes. A resolve to
teach her a lesson entered his brain.
He would take the umbrella out of
the store and have the joke on his
wife when she got home with. Il told

"Oh. yes, did; where's your UNI

The holy man then took a long
look at the rain stick that he had
suddenly acquired and heaved
heavy sigh. He had taken somebody

Gave the sign.-It was during the
late Spanish h-American war. A wealthy
merchant, who, says the Detroit News
Tribune, had lett his business to offer
his services to his country, was pacing
up and down on picket duty one dark
night. Suddenly he detected sounds OF
approaching footsteps, and quickly
bringing his gun into position, COM
manded in a sonorous voice:
Give the countersign!"
The person challenged proved to be
an enlisted dry goods clerk formerly
employed by the merchant before the
war broke out. AS their eyes met a
smile played around the corners of the
clerks mouth and he answered in a
low whisper:
CASH"
Then the merchant, bringing his
piece to a right shoulder, let him pass
and resumed his pacing.
