"A great many people of this coun-
try will perhaps remember the story
which appeared in the Red Book of
last October by Jack London, called
Good Bye Jack" 1t was rather a
heart rending tale The man mention
ed in the case was Jack Atkinson,
president of the Honolulu Commercial
club. He was very good friend of
this girl who was sent to Molakai She
happened to be half Hawaiian and was
well liked there. She had not seen
Jack Atkinson for some time, and all
though they were good friends and one
day she was signalled out from among
the rest as one probably afflicted with
leprosy. She was taken before DIR.
Mcdonald and the symptoms were
certainly found.
"The day she was taken to Molakai,
perhaps for ever, London and Jack
Atkinson were going to the island but
happened to get to the dock about
three minutes late. When they ar
rived the boat had put of and a young
girl was noticed at the stern waving
her handkerchief wildly at Atkinson
and shouting. Goodbye Jack good
bye Jack London noticed all this
and upon questioning his friend and
learning the intimacy of the girl and
Atkinson, went to his room and wrote
the story which appeared in that
monthly and which occasioned great
deal of comment"

Mondays race between Minor Heir,
Hedgewood Boy, Lady Maud c. and

will be an extreme test of speed and
struggle from wire to wire. The
horse that wins will be the best horse.
He will be the horse that speed and
experience and disposition have made

to be fast. The track record Is now
held by Dan Patch and was made in
1907. when he paced a mile in 2:O1 "a

should be lowered in Mondays race.

would not ask President Robson, OF

teams playing. On the Tuesday and
Friday preceding the closing date
both teams have open dates, and 1t
had been suggested that these dates
be filed. which would bring the close
three days earlier. Robson has been
quoted as saying he was opposed TO
advancing the dates.
Murphy believes. in view OF the fact
that the weather has been exception
ally bad during the last two cham
pionship series. while the following
weeks were ideal. that the same con-
ditions will prevail this season. and as
a consequence the dates may BIZ set
