AER0NAUTS WIN FROM

Question Of Speed =.
The question was asked recently re-
garding the speed OF q runner from
one to 10 furlongs. The question was
asked whether or not q horse de,
creased speed in the early part Of the
race from four to five furlongs or
does he decrease until he becomes
tired. Whether OF not runner could
i get off in IL 3-5 for the first furlone
is question, but In checking over the
records made during recent years, II
is found that no definite schedule may
be laid out. Inasmuch as no furiong
marks have been kept as 9 -ecord In
Honolulu, one must rely onsthe eastern
turf records to reach some conclusion.
Copra and other runners doing asa
hardly rank with the time made by
Short Grass, Roamer and other East.
ern runners.
II 10 an unanswerable fact that some
horses are possessed OF more early
foot than are some others. and, fur,
thermore, II horse is raced too near
his best IN the early stages Of other
than q recognized dash affair, say, at
q mile, he will be less likely to stay
the sourney than II he we're held off
his best sprinting pace in the early
part.
As a general proposition, horse
can be prevailed upon to put his hest
foot forward and race at his greatest
speed up to half q mile, although sew
eral horses have carried q speed op-|
proximating repeated eighths OF q mile
IN IL 3-5s- up to seven-eighths of q
mile.
To be sure, the existing half mile,
ffve-eighths and three-quarters rec
ords show q slight betterment Of the
average Of IL 3-5s. for each eighth In
the first two instances and exactly
that average in the case of the last
named. while In the case Of the seven
eighths record OF 1:22 by Roseben a.
slight falling off from that average
pace is noticeable.
II probably would be found. how
ever. that q first eighth in IL 3-5s,
from the usual flat footed, slow, walk

MANILA MAY BE-
PORT OF Orient
Plan to Make That City Clear
ing House of All Far East
ern Commerce to States

MANILA, p. Ito make Manila the
warehouse Of the Orient and the distrl-
buting point for all cargo to and
from America and the Far East, is the
program outlined by the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, whose vice-presi'
dent and general manager, Mr.. Rose
ter; is making arrangements for the
carrying out of the scheme, says the
Times. To carry out the project, the
company intends TO put on a number
of small vessels of about 1000 tons
each, to run out of Manila to Shang'
hal, Hongkong, Saigon, Singapore,
Java. and possibly as far as Colombo.
and bring cargo to this port, where 1t
will be put on the big transpaciffc
liners for shipment to America. A
huge bonded warehouse is to be built,
with track running from the bodega
to the side of the vessel to facilitate
the rapid and economical handling OF
freight. About eight of these small
boats will be required to cover the
territory in view, and to strengthen
the transpacific fleet two huge liners
are to be added. ::
r These facts were brought out in an
interview with r. c. Morton, Oriental
manager for the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company. Captain Morton has
been in Manila for some time, looking
over the local situation, in response
to the request of Mr.. Rosseter. who
has been developing this big plan
since his recent visit to Manila Mr..
Rosseter then was very optimistic
about the future OF Manila, and since
his return to the United States his
enthusiasm about the islands has in.
creased, rather than decreased.
Manila is to be made the Oriental
headquarters of all the Pacific Mail
boats, instead Of Hongkong as here
tofore, and special facilities given to
assisting Observation-Disclosures trade,
in fact the prime object of the scheme
is to have all American cargo in this
part of the world moved rapidly and
in American bottoms. But little at.
tention will be given the Hongkong
trade, and Japan will probably be ig.
nored except as to passenger carry.
ins.
When this scheme can be put in
operation is problematical in view OF
the war conditions now existing. Mr..
Rosseter's trip to the East was for
tn. purpose of getting the work of
construction Of the smaller boats un.
der way Immediately and this will be
done unless the government should de.
eide to use all the shipyards for strict.
ly war purposes. Even as conditions
now are the company hopes to at
least make a start with a few boats
within two years, and would com.
mence earlier if II is possible to buy
any suitable boat outright.
