Whitney, the prince.)
Mr.. ii. NJ. Whitney, Jr., said he
had not been in the speechifying
business as long as Mr.. Kinney, and
he was not going to put up any pol
itics. lie thanked His Majesty for
the interest he took in all kinds of
sport; Mr.. Isenberg, for inviting
and treating his team as they had
never been treated before, also the
President of the League and the
umpires. The Honolulus had done
their best to win and they congratu
lated the Stars, on winning the
championship after q hard fight.
In response TO numerous calls
Mr.. Chan. Wilder rose, and said he
was like Whitney, mo public speaker.
He thanked them all for honors con-
ferred. He had done his best as
ball player, and his club had come
out ahead. He did not think that
was due any more to his playing
than the rest of the boys. He pro-
posed the toast of the guests here
assembled.
AT this point Mr.. Jas. G. Spencer,
the holder of the leagues cash,
jumped up and said that they had
been putting up the umpires, and
yet not one had been killed or
manned during the season. He
then startled the company by giving
particulars of recent discovery Of
the North pole.
Hon. Paul Neumann replied to
the toast of the guests in his usual
felictous manner. AS long as an
honest game was played he would
say, Godspeed to the game of base
ball, it would make men of them.
He referred in amusing terms to the
recent game between the hackdriv-
ers, of which he was witness. He
had seen excellent games in Califor-
mia. The Hmpire was the man out
siders depended upon. Let the
sport continue, it had taken q world
wide hold. He asked them to drink
to the noble game of baseball, the
American game. (Cheers.)
Mr.. E. f. Bishop proposed "The
Ladies'" who had attended the
games. (Calls for Major Cornwell. }
Major Cornwell said he never
went back on the ladies, but when
he saw so many young men present
he could not see why lie should be
called upsn. He asked Mr.. Harry
Won Holt to respond.
Mr.. Won Holt said he had got
nothing to do with the ladies'. (Sen-
sation). He did not know what to
say, and they ought to call on some
one with more experience to res
pond. He had not been here so as
to see what interest the ladies took
in the games. However, he could
not help but say, God bless the Ia
dies. He then proposed the "Scor-
ers," saying that if it had not been
for them the Stars would not have
won.
Mr.. John w. Winter said he was
not jim, the penman, but he had
kept the records of the seasons
games. On behalf of Mr.. G. X.
Wilder and himself he thanked them
for the honor and assured them they
had done the best they could this
year. He concluded an amusing
speech by proposing "rHE Dali,
BULLETIN, the friend of baseball, a
paper which upheld the manly
sport.
Mr.. Wray Taylor of the BULLETH
staff responded to this toast. He
had attended nearly all the game'
under the auspices of the league
and the BULLETIN was the only pa
per that had published the full score
of all the games. When the season
opened next year they would fine
the BULLETIN on deck again. HI
thanked them for their kind expires
sions.
The next toast was Bandmaste
Berger and the Hawaiian band, 70
whom three hearty cheers wer
given.
MIR. Berger said he had witnessed
baseball games during his visit t.
San Francisco, and the clubs owe
there bungled and muffed in thei
play. He hoped they would no
introduce coaching at the games il
Honolulu, it was worse than tn
band.
The last toast was the Hawai-
Baseball League.
The company then retired fror
the lanai and for the next hour wer
entertained with excellent music
vocal and instrumental, by the Ha
waian band. Messrs. Isenberg an,
Bishop also sung songs. A heav
shower of rain came on which some
what delayed the departure of tn
guests. All went away loud in thei
praise of the magnificent hospitalit
of the~generous and affable host
Mr.. Isenberg, and the occasion wa
one that will long be remembers
