weather the score was small. j. l..
Mclean reached the highest point for
the day at As. The others fell below
this, some running even less than 40.

squads under the command OF Messrs.

up the greatest score, and came off the
acknowledged victors. McLean's score
fell behind only a few points.

bunting, upon which were twenty-eight
incandescent lights, red, white and
blue in color. Within the shoe appeared
picture of Hawaii's President
