NEW YORK, January 2O,-John j.
Ryan of Cincinnati expects that the
international motor boat cup will be
defended at Huntington bay next SUN
mer by his new boat, the Reliance He
is at the motor boat show here this
week with the new Hydrophla, said to
be the speediest craft ever built in
America.
MY old Reliance, which beat the
Dixie at Buffalo, was good for thirty
seven miles an hour" explained Mr..
Ryan. "The new boat, Reliance VI.
will make better than forty-seven
miles an hour under racing conditions.
We have tried out the Dixie and fig
ure in race she is good for about
forty-three miles. That Is not fast
enough. Perhaps some of the new
boats will go faster, and the French
man with his 1900 horsepower motors
may do wonders, but know what my
boat can do, and am willing to back
her against the world"

These cross country routes will en-
able the concrete and various build
ing materials to be carried anywhere
in the space they may be needed and
landed conveniently at the front door,
or where the front door is to be, of
the building under course of construc-

These steam cable railways will be
about two thousand feet long, and the
cross stations about six hundred feet.
There will also be other lines for truck
freight cars built around, across and
through this section, under course of
construction to assist in the building
problem.
The government feels no hesitancy
in building this large cavalry post.
and there will be others to follow, of
this reinforced concrete, or shot con-
crete, as it is termed.
The quarters and barracks and non
commissioned officers houses that are
being completed for use at Fort Ruger
have proved so successful that the
same method will be employed in the
construction of tn building for per-

This is distinguished date that

years.
On March 10 the companies sta
toned in Honolulu viii be inspected
There has been steady and upward
advance in the military proficiency OF
the National Guard for the past sew
eral years. To the manor born might
be said of the National Guard of these
islands, for the Hawaiians are natural
soldiers, being of magnificent phys
ique, brave and thoroughly amenabl6
to military discipline No state or
the mainland could excel this Terri
tory in its. reserve force of militia
troops.
1t is the policy of the government
to have and hold the National GuarC

bone, as It were, force OF wei
trained military men to supplement

army. Major General Leonard WOOD

Financially, the New York State

2000 boxers have benefited in sums
ranging from IS to $12,777. There
are fifty-three regularly licensed clubs
in the State, of which thirty-four are

That figures out over $4,000 a

The First Infantry Of Hawaii, un-
der command of Colonel Charles w.
Ziegler, marched out to Kapiolani
Park very early on Sunday morning,
where shelter tents were pitched and
camp was pitched for the day.
In the forenoon there was drill by
companies, and during the afternoon
formations by battalions were man.
euvered by the National Guard. First
battalion was commanded by Major
William X. Riley and the second bat
talon by Maj. Gustave Rose. Captain
Walter H. Johnson, Twenty-tifth In
fantry, U. S. Army, as inspector in
structor, accompanied the command.
A fine showing in manual of arms
was executed by the soldiers and
much favorable comment was eY-
pressed at the Jealous, even manner
at which every command was execut-
ed. The company drills were splen-
didly done in true military sense.
Assistant commander is Lieutenant
Colonel Arthur Coyne. Regimental
adiutant is Captain Thomas P. Cum
Minis, with Captain Merle M. Johnson
as Quartermaster of the First Infan-
try.
At these military maneuvers on
Sunday Company A was in command
of Captain Sullivan, Company of
First Lieutenant William AHA, Com
pany C of Captain JOAQUIN M. Camara,
Company D of First Lieutenant Hilo.
Captain Edward Hopkins headed his
old company, F, with First Lieuten-
ant Louis K. Kane commanding Com
pany G.
Lunch was cooked at the camp fires
with buzzicote kettles and pans.
There was no tonic needed before this
meal to assist the soldiers in having
an appetite, for with the marching,
pitching tents and company drills
that had interviewed since their break
fast hearty camp luncheon was en-
ioyed. The beautiful weather of Sun
day assisted in rendering the camp
life and hard work at drills for the
First Infantry particularly pleasant.
On this occasion the new drill reg.
ulations, that have been worked out
all winter in the school for officers
and non-commissioned officers, were
tried out in actual practice.
When the evening shades began to
gather around Diamond Head this
patriotic band of National Guardsmer
folded their tents and returned to the

tieth Infantry, who lived at Fort
Shafter when his battalion was sta
toned there, has been a visitor at Ho-
nolulu for the past few weeks. Lieu
tenant McCleery had to journey from
his present post of duty at Fort Doug
las, Utah, to this city to attend the
proceedings of the civic court.
Shortly before leaving the Kahauiki
reservation Lieutenant McCleery was
robbed of his handsome watch and
chain and an amount of money. The
man was caught and sentenced this
week to three months in Jail, with a
fine of one dollar and costs. These
articles were stolen from Lieutenant
McCleery's own quarters at Fort
Shafter. Friends are extending this
popular officer a cordial welcome,
even if his presence here was caused
by unpleasant circumstances. Lieu
tenant McCleery will return to the
mainland by the first available steam
err leaving for the coast.

Colonel WILDER b. Wilder, Fifth

General Murray's Mission.
Major General Arthur Murray, com
mander of the Western Division, of
which the Department of Hawaii is
part, is in Washington to arrange for
the completion of the Army Supply
Depot, Fort Winfield Scott, the build
ing of division headquarters, the i'm
proving of Fort Miley,, and the con-
struction of a highway along the shore
past the San Francisco exposition
grounds. These improvements have
been recommended by the War De-
partment, but would not be made at
present if it were not for the fact that
the exposition is to be held at the
opening of the Panama canal 1t is
probable that the work will be pushed
so that the military reservations will
be in presentable condition when the
exposition opens.
That Major General Murray has
succeeded in his trip to Congress will
be noted by the fact of the passing of
the Kahn bill through the House, al
lowing an appropriation of $4,000
for the improvement of Fort Mason
before the Panama exhibition.

STAMFORD. IS PROMISED
 A SENSATION
Justice Peck May Withdraw From Race For Judge of Probate and Justice
 of the Peace
Especial to The F,arner.) )

Stratford, Oct 9-On the eve of tonights Republican caucus for the nomination of justice of the peace, judge of probate and representatives, the air is surcharged with predictions, innuendo, bitter denunciation and ac- cusation. A tense expectancy of startling political strategy dominates the ranks of the various ia ctionS. It is believed that the meeting in the Town Hall will be one of the largest ever attended here and that a bitter struggle for supremacy will be fought to the death between the younger or Progressive" clement and the ttOId Guard of the party.
 Am ong the rampant run1orS is one, as yet unconffrmed, that at the last moment 1t is possible Judge Charles H. Peck may withdraw from the can didacy for judge of the Probate Court and Justice Of the Peace. While no specific grounds have been found to account for such a move, it is signi- fcantly pointed out that he previously withdrew his name as a. candidate for representative, that unity might be preserved in the disintegrated Repub- ican ranks, and it is likewise believed plated the same motives will actuate his withdrawal
 It is thought the strength of the '-Old Guard'' in Stratford has been greatly impaired by the recent reor- ganization of the Taft Club, which resulted in the deposition of Presi- Qenl FTank ES.- COn1ne, and while the older faction still maintains it's adher- ence to the club, defectfon from the ranks is said to be prevalent.
 In an effort to overthrow the pres ent powers that be-, it is stated, upon good authority, that an affidavit from a high official of the Superior Court, at Bridgeport. has been secured pur- porting to show that the Town of Stratford has been occasioned none tary loss through erroneous taxation of costs by the local Justice Court over which Judge Peck has presided and that this docume ent may ba made public at tonight's meeting
