Honolulu, Oct. 29.

Air Commodore Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, one of greatest fliers of the day, added another victory to his bag when he flew the first leg of the Pacific Ocean from Suva to Hawaii and arrived over this city at 8.25 a.m. to-day.

The big machine circled once above the city in salutation before proceeding to Wheeler Field..

A squadron of American naval perauit ships met the Aus- trallan traveller and escorted him and his companion Capt. Taylor, to their destination. Sir Charles made a delicately judged landing at 8.40 o'clock.

MIZLER RETIRES WHEN TENTH ROUND ENDS

London, Oct. 29.

Kid Berg, the Whitechapel whirlwind, defeated the hard-hitting little Harry Mizler of Mile End at the Albert Hall to-night for the British lightweight cham- pionship crown.

Berg fought with his old spirit, lashing out furiously and driving his opponent around the ring. In the tenth Mizler was so battered and:sodden” with: punches that he was forced to retire as the bell rang. The fight was scheduled for fifteen rounds...

Berg's style was a marked contrast to Mizler'a. Whereas Berg
