COMEDY OF ERRORS.
The HonoIuIus Score a Victory
Some Very Wild Pitching
The Game Enjoyed for the

ErrOKS.
The Honolulus beat the Hawaiis
last Saturday. Beat them so easily
that there wasn't excitement enough
to raise a decent cheer from the sew
eral hundred people who witnessed
the sport.
Somehow the men in white and
black couldn't hit safe, and they
backed up their inability to hit safe
by some checkerboard fielding. T,ua
hiwa at third couldn't have stopped
a hungry Government mule with a
bale of hay.
Several of the players, including
Captain Harry, gave fine springer
hibitions of wild throwing.
The Hawaiis could not have beaten
a carpet with any degree of success.
They seemed to loose all heart after
the first inning, and were never in
the game at any time from that
point to the finish. The only decent
piece of work on their part was a
double play by Morris,
The crank who could stir up inst
the least bit of enthusiasm over the
"old gold " misdeeds perpetrated by
the Hawaiis last Saturday p. NJ. ought
to have season ticket to all the
games and the right to march be-
hind the band on all state occasions.
The Honolulus did not play an
errorless game by any means. They
are charged with enough "yellow-
legged errors to lose any ordinary
game. But they won, and victory
in base ball covers a multitude OF
sins in the eyes OF a true crank.
For years Allen has been yearning
for Just such q chance as was given
him Saturday. Once in the dim

George listened to the voice of the

len does not resemble that celebrated
manipulation of the sphere, Sir limo
thy Keefe. Far from it. He seemed
trife nervous as he faced Hay
Wodehouse. the first batter. Per-
haps the noisy tribute accorded
him by the spectators in the grand
stand annoyed him. The first ball
he pitched was a strike, and he was
warmly applauded. Then he let out
link and shot in another that Hay
couldn't reach. He braced himself
for third effort. His air castles
were growing higher and grander.
But his triumph was short lived.
After Wodehouse had been retired
at first, he hit two batters with the
ball, gave one base on balls and al
lowed E. Wodehouse to reach first
because of his fumbling. Whitney
made the only hit, but five runners
crossed the plate.
The Hawaiis made two runs in
their half of the first, which were
due principally to errors.
A full record of the game would
be repetition of errors, wild throws
and passed balls.
The following is the score:
Honolulus .........54 O61O0 SIC

Coffee in Puma.

Mr.. Rober Rycroft has quite an
extensive coffee plantation in Puma
district in Hawaii. He has $500
trees planted on land at Naeo, and
about 5000 at Makaola. The soil
where these trees are growing is de-
composed or disintegrated IA, which
is quite rich and doubtless will pro-
duce a good coffee plantation in a
few years. Besides the coffee, Mr.
Rycroft has a number of lime, zig,
mango and pear trees all growing as
finely as the same kinds of trees in
any other part of the Island.
The owner of the plantation in
tends constructing a new mill of
concrete, S0x30 it., and two stories
high. The mill viii be for the
double purpose Of preparing the
coffee for market and for the manu-
facture of lumber into railway ties,
etc. Some of the machinery, espe-
cially the saws, are from the firm of
Messrs. Chandler 81 Taylor of In
dianapolis, Indiana. The lumber
mill will have an engine of seventy
FIVE horsepower, with a capacity Of
making $50 ties day. A few more
such enterprises in Puma will open
up that district with a considerable
increase in the products of the ISL
ands.

The called meeting of the Inter

Hall last evening was fairly well at
tended, and without loss of time the
members proceeded to elect the fol-
loving officers: President, r. w.
Wilcox; Vice-President, 7. II. Wag-

After electing committee on by
laws and on hall, the meeting ad-

Before the meeting dispersed, the
persons present were informed by
the Vice-President that the body was
not in anyway a political organiza-
ton, and was only associated to-
gether for the purpose of mutual
pleasure and improvement.
One of the newly elected officers
said that he considered that there
was ample reason for forming the
organization in the interests of
amusement, and abjured all intent to
become tinged with politics in the
matter.
