Hawaiian Is Popular,

Through this failure OF understanding.
whether on the part OF the Swedish COM
mittee or the American managers. the
Americans may lose the final OF this event.
The Hawaiian, Kahanamoku, whom the
republican democracy aboard the Finland
called THE Duke" is the talk OF the town
to-day, not only for what he does, but for
the easy, nonchalant way in which he does
It, He has caught the popular fancy, and
the president OF the British Litesaving So
ciety has offered him valuable cup If he
swims a hundred metres in one minute
during the contests.
Only a few persons on the riverside
stands last night realized that worlds
record had gone when Kahanamoku won
his heat in the 100 metres in l minute 20
seconds, and no demonstration followed the
Hawaiian's performance. He climbed out of
the water and walked 10 the dressing room
almost unnoticed, while the fellow coun-
trymen OF other swimmers were bundling
them away in bathrobes
No such cosmopolitan polyglot population
ever swarmed over a small city as is gath
cred here, Every imaginable language IL
heard, and everybody is good natured and
animated with the gala spirit. Four Amer
lean yachts are in the harbor Colonel
Thompson's. Howard Goud's, Allison V.
Arrnours and Mrs. Goelet's. The Swedish
Olympic committee gave big dinner to-
night and a gala performance at the opera
was a rival attraction for society.
The sports thus far have not been marred
by any brawls The only adverse criticism
is caused by the Swedish committeeman
who fill the arena and cannot resist the
temptation Of coaching and encouraging
their favorites
