THE TRICKY SPORTS.
The Tried to Beat the New. Law
-.

Against HTZeIiSUtS.
The great ten-round contest between the
Palo Alto Athletic Club on one side and the
laws of the State of California on the other,
which was to take place last night did not
come off. because the club fluked at the last
moment and refused TO 90 into the ring.
The Palo Alto is an amateur club, with a
membership of about sixty. and has CT late
been in the habit of giving weekly exhibit
lions of fencing, wrestling and boxing.
For last night three ten-r0und contests
between. Dick Carroll and w. Thomas. G.
Mckenzie and Tom White and Scotty and
Barber had largely been advertised and
tickets at 81 each had been placed ON sale
all around town.
These tickets were nothing more nor less
than any other ordinary pastboard emitting
the holderto witness the exhibition, but to
avoid the provision in the new act, which
prohibits contests for strength and endur-
ance in places where an admission fee is
charged. the foxy managers OF the Palo
Alto Club entered every man who presented
ticket at the door on their membership
list.
They were by this made club members for
the time being, and the money they had
paid was called membership fee.
Over 100 of so-caled new members were
in this manner enrolled and there was quite
an assemblage OF expeetant sports sitting
around in the gymnasium on New Mont
gomery street, formerly occupied by the
late California Athletic Club.
1t had been quietly whispered around that
at least one OF the contests was to be a
genuine fight, although IN Difference 10 the
law tire ten-Ieund limit would have to be
enforced.
Just before the time for the commence
'ment of the preliminaries came Police Ser
geant Coles with squad Of Captain shorts
officers arrived On the scene, and their ap-
pearance apparently frightened the officers
Of the club.
They asked of the sergeant whether he
in Tended TO stop the exhibition and the
latter replied that he had no such purpose
i'll vie " unless the contests were of brutal
and dangerous; nature.
Asa piece of useful information and as a
hint for their guidance, however, Sergeant
Coles added that he considered their charg-
ing an admission fee, unlawful. and he In
tendcd.tO give them chance. to test in the
courts whether their embefShip dodge was
sufficient to legalize their exhibition.
u Will not interfere with you Tonight,
but it is quite likely that you l. will be
arrested: Tomorrow on charges preferred
against yeu for conducting and participating
in an un! lawful athletic exhib&iion," was the
sergeant 5 warning advice
A hasty eonsu tation was had, and the
club officers concluded not to take any
chances of arrest ana legal conflicts.

President Dole said that some of

Bishop Museum for safe keeping and
exhibition, be transferred absolutely
to the said museum.

Attorney General Smith thought
the method was proper and legal 1t
would not be practical TO dispose of
the property at auction, as its value
lay in its historic worth, and should

Mr.. Brown favored reference to

government could pass title under its
provisional powers and limits.
President Dole said all the books

The first resolution was referred to
the following committee: Hon. w. +.

The second and third resolutions

His Excellency w. o. SMITH, Attor-
ney-General Provisional Govern

SIR: 1t is currently rumored that
you have issued an order through the
marshal, prohibiting the Hawaiian
National band from playing at any
public places in this city. If so; why
So?
Respectfully submitted,
J. ENA.
Mr.. Smith rehearsed the facts con
nected with the disturbance at the
Oceanic wharf, and stated that the
National band was not
prohibited from playing at the
wharves and public squares; but the
executive council, after careful con-
had decided that that band
should not hereafter play at such
places without first obtaining per
which would be granted
upon application in most cases.
MIR. Ena said the explanation was
satisfactory; the report cir
culated was, that the National band
would not be allowed to play at all.

Some time since, Minister Damon
stated, he had submitted a statement
showing that the government was
self-sustaining under present condi-
tons; he now proposed to show how,
without increased taxation, the
country would be self-sustaining in
the event of annexation to the United
States, which would cut off the rev
enues now derived from the custom
house and pest Office. He also wished
to point out that under the weekly
statement it was to be seen that dur
ing the present month there had
been an absolute gain of about
SIS, 600, which it was the intention of
the finance department to convert
into a reserve fund for the future.
The statement referred to was as
follows:

ing an average for the past fifteen
years on Custom House, and five
years Post Office and payments,
and the yearly receipts on other
