And the deck has been pushed away;
When the chips have been counted and

Will pause by the vacant chair
And offer the rarest Of epitaphs-

From ev'ryone sitting around the

Can lock at The Dealer, unafraid
And say that I played EN- square.
Go ask OF the fellow who ma "lIei the

If all he has won can pay
For the friendship and trust of the

That he lost by his crooked play

JIMMY LIKED
LOCAL TRACKS

The following is from an interview
with Jimmy Fitzgerald in the San
Francisco Bulletin:
IF they knew how to train down
in those countries they would turn
out some fine runners" observed
Fitzgerald last night at the Bulletin
Really they don't know any
thing about conditioning themselves
like we do in America. Here we have
it down to an exact science. You
might say that have run pretty near
" all over the world | ran seventh
i'm the five-mile race in the Olympic
games in London in 1908, and there
were seventy runners entered. At
that time | had chance to see how
different countries trained and | know
that we know more about training
than any other country. Why, in Aus
tralia they haven't even got a decent
cinder path to run over Down that
way they run their races on the
grass, which is tough running. Not
until | got back to Honolulu did
strike good path, and it seemed
good TO get on it. But the Austral
ians are fine sports and love all kinds
of games, although it is not much Of
a country for running. They like
swimming, fighting and horse racing
When / was there they were trying
to stop fighting, but l hardly thinl
they will get away with it"

The race horse in the eyes of many
is a necessary evil From the days
of Ptolomy down to the present, men
have raced horses in spite of all man
ners of opposition, raised by the many
fanatics and individuals, who seem to
hold the belief that they were created
for the sole purpose, of directing af
fairs in keeping with their narrow
and warped ideas.
In Wallace's Ben Hur," he makes
his description of the chariot race the
most beautiful and interesting chapter
of his Tale of Christ" and when the
magnificent story was staged, the re-
production of the race proved to be
an attraction of the greatest value
The Egyptians, Babylonians and AS
syrians raced horses, Cyrus had a
stable of the very best obtainable;
so bad many prominent Greeks and
Romans, and without even the slight
est degree of abatement in the inter
est of the sport, it has gone on down
the centuries, even to the present one
Jobs best description is Of the
horse-his very poorest, of his wife
And yet from what we learn, his pc
culiar physical condition certainly re
quired more assistance from the gentle
touch of the tender female, than from
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-26
THE ANTIQUITY OF HORSE RAGING

the war horse who snuffeth the bat
tie afar Off"
Solomon, too, had more horses than
wives. From what we can learn that
vigorous gentleman whose chief de-
sire appeared to be to raise fine horses
and thankless children, managed to
always keep up about three horses for
every new bride he took unto him
self.
There is hardly a great man in his
tory which can be touched by a pen,
but speaks of his favorite horse.
Darwin once said, that man was
distinguished from all other animals
in that he laughs; and we may as
well add, that a civilized man is dis
tinguished from all other men, in that
he will bet on a horse race. 1t is
wrong, we admit; just as it is wrong
to bet on the price of stocks, grain,
rattle off any article, or make a bill
with your grocer when the chances
are ten to one" that you will never
| pay it-and hundred other kinds OF
wagering We can't stop it-being in
herited from our earliest ancestors an?
will no doubt remain with us till the
end of time. But we may do one thing
we may refrain from betting our
selves, and if people must bet on
horse race, we should insist that the
race be an honest one.

Inc aJtentlOn Oh atnleJeS ana low
ers of track sports is now centered
on the big meet which will be pulled
off at the Athletic Park next Sunday
afternoon for the benefit of the Naval
Relief Society.
The men of the fleet have been 10
the front whenever there was a local
good cause to be helped and now the
local people are given a chance to
reciprocate in kind. There is little
doubt that they will do SO to the
limit.
The Naval Relief Society.
The business of the Naval Relief
Society is carried on by a board of
fifteen managers, of which Admiral
Dewey is the senior member The
object of the society is to collect
funds and provide relief for INDECENT
widows or orphans of officers, sailors
and enlisted men of the United States
Navy and Marine Corps, to aid in Sc
curing employment for them, and to
furnish educational facilities for such
orphan children. Last year an amend
ment to the constitution was adopted,
authorizing that aid may also be cV-
tended, when needed, to mothers of
men who die in the service.
The relief committee of the society
has assisted many women in prepar-
ing and presenting. their pension
cases, and by personally communicate
ing with the pension office has been
able to push many of them to a
speedy and favorable action without
expense to the widows.
Auxiliaries have been formed in
eleven states. The chief sources of
revenue are one-half of the proceeds
of the sale of the University of Penn
sylvania seats for the annual Army
Navy football game, the membership
dues and volunteer donations.
Lieutenant Gay is in charge of the
meet and he is leaving no effort UNI
spared to make it big success.
