MEN OF WEIGHT.
Only Three Of This Notable Eleven
Marc Under 200 Pounds.

Only Three Of This Notable Eleven
Were Under 200 Pounds.
On Aug. 10. 177s. General Washing
ton and ten other officers Of the RevO-
lutionary army were weighed at West
Point, N. Y, and the result is pre-
served in an item from the English
magazine Notes and Queries. Only
three of the eleven weighed less than
200 pounds. The heaviest was Colonel
Swift, whose $40 pounds made him
lead the next, General Knox. at 2S0,
by thirty-nine pounds, but Knox was
only twenty eight years old.
Then follow Colonel Michael Jack.
son. 252: Colonel Henry Jackson. 23S;
General Lincoln. then forty-five years
old. 224; Lieutenant Colonel Hum
phreys, 221; Lieutenant Colonel Hun
tington, 212.
General Washington, forty-six years
old, weighed 200 pounds and was fol.
lowed at quite an interval by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Cobb and General Hun
tington. who weighed 1872 pounds each.
1t is amusing to note that the heavi-
est mans name was Swift and that Of
the lightest General Creation, who is
credited with 1863 pounds, 1853 less than
Swift's record.
The total weight Of the eleven, 2,4S5
pounds gives 226 pounds as the aver
age. but Swift being omitted the other
ten averaged only PIT pounds.
They were certainly men of weight
and substance and a heavy team-if
we may compare them with a modern
football eleven-that might we'll chal-
lenge comparison also with our mod
ern military men.

"Giassbiowers Tonight" =

THE Glasblowers," the new musI-
cal offering by John Philip Sousa and
Leonard Liebling, will prove to be
something new in light opera, mas
much as it has been modelled after
the French light opera idea styled op-
era comique. This is neither comic op-
era nor musical comedy in the Ameri-
can sense American comic opera is
usually burlesque and more often mu-
called Lyrical comedy for that re-
son. 1t tells straight story at times
of strong dramatic intent, but the ele-
ment of comedy has not been over
looked The dramatic interest is
brought out in the second act, the
scene showing a glass works in opera
ton in which conflict takes place be-
tween labor and capital. The operators
turn soldiers and are found in the last
act at Santiago at the time of the
Spanish-American war. The first act
will present scene at a reception in
a large New York residence. Seventy
five people will take part in the pro-
duction. The Glassblowers" will be
presented by John Cort at the Gennett
theater tonight.
The following telegram has been re-
ceived from J. E. Jennings, manager
of the Anderson theater:

Harry Wolverton received a telegram
from Thomas O'Hara, their chief
scout, stating that he was on his way

Sacramento Club sold him. -.

the New York Americans last year
and is a good Judge of players. Be

senting Detroit, will also look the
Honolulu boy over while in Portland.
He saw him pitch here last week.
There seems to be some mistake
about when Williams will leave Sac

Williams is sold to a Major League
Club he has to report to that club
before August &c, 1913 That is the
ruling of the National Commission.

The San Francisco papers which ar

Here is the Chronicles. story of the
first day of the competition: -:

baths before a crowd OF nearly 5000
spectators. .*-
The meet itself was a record-break
er, and followers of swimming on the
coast had not until yesterday wit
messed anything to compare with it
in the line of swimming competition.
The Hawaiian nobleman established
coast records in each of the three

style that demonstrated clearly his
wide reputation of being a peer among

He set up a mark of Sal in the

land of the American Pacific coast,

not as good as those he is credited
with in his own territory. Lincoln
Johnson formerly held the record OF

The Duke was never breasted in the
50-yard free-stroke, although Nixon
gave him the most competition and
showed heap of speed. Kahanamo-
Ku won the first heat in 0:24 10, the
fraction slower than his American rec

the finals he swan the distance in

GUM CARRIES
PASSENGERS in
SUNDAY FLIGHT

Aviator Tom Gum, heralded as the
only Chinese aviator and captain of
the aviation corps of the infant re-
public, again demonstrated to Honolu-
lans that he is a birdman of no mean
ability, when yesterday afternoon, in a
free exhibition at Schofield Barracks,
in the presence of crowd of more
than 1000 persons he not only made
number of successful flights, but also
carried several passengers into the
air with him. ~" ......
The morning was given over to Sc
ries of trial flights in preparation for
the afternoon exhibition, and when, at
$3.50 O'Clock, the train from Honolulu
pulled up at the field with Its hun
dreds of aviation fans, including a
goodly portion of Celestial population,
Gum was readinessa to- make
amends for the unsuccessful try-out of
week ago. Besides those who came
by the afternoon train, the field was
lined with thousands who had either
came during the morning by motor, or
who had come on the morning train
Shortly after the arrival of the last
detachment, Gum climbed into the
seat of his machine, tested his engine
and then swept down the field, rising
into the air to good height and cir
cling four times around the post. He
remained aloft twenty minutes show
ing perfect control of his machine by
dipping onto the parade ground a
number of times Upon his return to
the starting point, the wind began
blowing in gusts from the east, but
nevertheless Gum announced that he
was ready to take a passenger aleft
with him. .... =. =. 49,,
The first passenger was man, and
after short flight, Miss Lillian
Gee was taken aboard. Gum took this
passenger down the field and back,
rising only short distance from the
ground, as he seemed unwilling to
submit his passenger to the swirl1ng
air currents of higher attitudes. Miss
Frances l.. Mckay was then invited to
make an ascent This trip was practi-
cally the same as the second, except
that the aviator and his passenger
iourneyed toward Cashier and back.
During the trip one of the propeller
blades was splintered by coming into
contact with some unseen obstruction
and upon his return Gum announced
that the flights were over for the aft
ernoon New propellers for Gums
machine will arrive from the Coast
Wednesday, and Gum has stated that
he will give another exhibition Thurs
day: 49,. -.
When asked of the trip, Miss Voeller
said: The only question that caused
me any concern was the one OF learn

at the start. Once we got of the
