Field DAY al funaDOu WAS u
grand success. At looked, almost
III afternoons, as though the sports
would be spoiled By downpour OF
rain, but Providence was kind to
the students, and only allowed a
little water to fall during the
creased pig race, probably with
IaudGble intention Of washing a
little grease off the diminutive
porker's back, so that the boys
could catch him more easily.
The college building was gayly
decorated with buff and blue bunt-
lng-the/ college colors. S-Almost
every scholar and large number
of the visitors present had on little
knots of buff and blue also, to
show that they were staunch adj
herents of Hawaii's old college
where nearly all of them had re-
ceived their education. In the
main hall of the college building,
the portraits of c. r. Bishop, who
has done so much for the institu-
ton, DR.. Beckwith, who was at one
time the head of the college, and
Mrs. Mary Rice, were decorated
with flowers and ferns.
There was large crowd present,
and all seemed to enjoy the day
immensely. All the events were
strongly contested, and no one
won a race that did not require a
struggle to carry off the prize. The

exciting finish between himself and

feet and Z inches.

very good time in the one hundred
yard three-legged race. They COW
cred the distance in 134 seconds,
which is faster than the ordinary
man could run the distance on two
legs. Cooke and Lowrie were sec
ond.
One of the two accidents occurr-
ing during the day, happened in
the pole vault, which was next on
the programme. The contestants
were G. Cooke, d. Dayton and f.
Athertun When Cooke and Ath-
erton had reached the height of Z
feet nine inches, Cookies pole broke
and he fell to the ground and
severely sprained his wrist. AS
Dayton had failed to vault this
