presence. The half-a-thousand spec
tators on the Polo Grounds recalled
to mind Boston Common on a Fourth
of July morn. There were no pea
nuts, apples nor lemonade, still there
was no lack of gsiety and enthusiasm.
The central and most level stretch of
the field was marked off for the
sprinting contests, the makai side of
the course was given up to ring con-
tests on horseback, while beyond the
mauka limits cavalcades of ladies and
gentlemen were continually sweeping
past deeply interested in a sport
known under the prosaic name of
Kitchen Furniture"
Time was called at PM, and Mr..
W. o. Aiken quickly won the 100
yards dash, from Messrs. Lindsey,
Hair and Landgraf. Mr.. Cooper, of
Paia, won the standing broad jump
g #. 8 in. Messrs. W. L. Mossman
and Aiken being the other competi-
tors.
In the hurdle race 600 yards) with
five hurdles 8 it. s in. in height, MIR.
w. L. Mossman was easy winner
over Messrs. W. Ogg and Cooper.
In the running high jump MIR.
Mossman failed at 4 #. 5 in, and Mr..
Lindsey took the prize.
In throwing the 81 Id. hammer
Messrs. Ruff, W. Ogg, Mossman,
Hughes, Lindsey and Engle CON
tested. The former won-83 fl. 10
in, beating W. Ogg by l #. 10 in.
In the running broad jump, Mr.. L.
T. Hughes showed himself superior
to Messrs. Cooper, Lindsey, Moss
man and Aiken, his record being
Is fit. 3 in.
In the three-legged race Messrs.
Mossman and Aiken easily out
stripped their competitors who fell
on the home stretch in a most ludicr
GUS manner.
In the high kick contest, by some
mistake of the carpenter, the card
board at which they kicked could
only be raised to 7 fit. 3 in. As both
gentlemen easily touched this mark
both were awarded the prize.
In the 220.yards dash MIR. l.. +.
Hughes showed superior staying
qualities and won, over Messrs. Moss
man and johnson.
In the hop skip and jump Mr.,
Cooper reached 81 fit. 2 in, and
Messrs. Lindsey, Aiken and Hughes
were beaten.
Putting the 10 lb. shot was one of
the best events of the day, and was
contested by Messrs. Ruff, Mossman,
Ogg, Lindsey, Andrews, Hughes, A.
Hooking and Copp. Mr.. Ruff put it
A feet 10 in, beating MIR. Mossman
by only a few inches.
In the tug-of-war contest, the most
exciting happening of the day, the
Paia team, consisting of MIR. Engle,
anchorman, David Lindsey, captain,
and Messrs. Ruff, Ogg and Garnett;
in the Makawao team were Mr.. L. A.
anchorman, Mr.. W. L.
Mossman, captain, and Messrs. Swift,
Won Tempsky and Hughes; and in
the Hamakuapoko team were MIR. W.
f. Mossman, anchorman, Mr.. j.
Hair, captain, and Messrs. Beecher,
S. Hooking and Nicoll. Paia pulled
Hamakuapoko most easily-it was
walk-away.
With Makawao, Pais had her
hands full, for during the first heat,
it seemed as though Makawao would
surely win, but the superior training
of Paia muscle slowly but surely
brought the ribbon to their side, and
won also the next heat quite handily
The foot ball game was poorly
played owing to the fact that Maka-
wac athletes were very sore and
weary.
Each winner of an event was i'm
conducted to Miss Greg
Dry. who pinned to his lapel satin
ribbon most prettily and suitably
painted.
The whole day was so thoroughly
successful and won so many enco-
NUNS from enthusiastic spectators,
that the committee in charge has
decided to organize a Makswao
Athletic Association, counting the |
9th inst. their first field day.
Great consideration should be |
shown the records given, inasmuch
IS the boys were out of training and |
lad to contest on slippery grass.
