HENRY WILLARD TO RETURN TO THIS

COUNTRY
Henry Willard WILL. II Is reported, return TO this
countrv I'm about three weeks. Mr.. Willard sailed
for Europe for his health when proceedings We're
beeun to investigate the affairs OF the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, and his going away
was considered a practical acknowledgment that
his connection with the Northern Pacific Railroad
would not show him in favorable light. and that
his evidence would bring forth conclusive testimony
of the scandals In connection with the manage
ment Of the railroad.
MIR Willard went away from this country under
he firm impression that only temporary retire
ment would be necessary. and that after the in
yestigatIon into the affairs OF the Northern Pa
cn. Railroad had quietcd down he could return
and again take IA leading part IN the rcorganiZa-
tion OF the property. The Information that Mr.
Willard intends To this country from
the best OF authority. and his former associates do
not deny that he Will again have an interest in

RACING AT THE COAST.
Big Stake by Spreckels-Hawaiian
Horses to Compete.

Horsemen all over the Pacific
Coast have been on the qui vive for
the announcement of the stake
events for the newly organized Pa
cific Coast Jockey Club that is to
hold its initial meeting at the In
gleside track which is now in course
of construction at San Francisco.
Fourteen stake events have been
prepared, aggregating in value $780,
600. The richest event is the
Spreckels stake, worth $4,000 in all.
The distance for this stake is four
miles. The next most valuable
stake is the Ormonde stake, over
three miles of territory, the guar
antee value of which is $4,000. The
most money is offered for long dis
lance racing in every instance,
which fact will certainly be apprec-
lated by all admirers of stamina in
a racehorse.
Amarino, Lolokalani and Auton-
omy will compete in these races.

The first public concert by the

One or more of the members are
expected to return from the Coast

other islands will return as soon as
steamers commence running.
Prof. Berger will not return from
Germany until November, the
band being under the management
of acting bandmaster Heitmann,
who is a most capable musician.

Fastest Track on Earth.

California is to have the fastest
bicycle track in the world. 1t will
be built at San Mateo, the most de-
sirable place for the construction Of
a fast bicycle path in the country
on account of its splendid climate
and the fact that it is surrounded
by hills which shut off the wind to
a very great extent. The promot-
ers of the new enterprise also in
tend to erect a hotel near the track
and expect to put $4,000 into the
enterprise.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT TODAY.
College Boys and Visitors From
Other Islands to Participate.
Teams to- Contest During the Game.
Finals Played on saturdsy-En-
thusiasm at Highest Point.

The Pacific Tennis Club has de-
cided to give an informal tourna-
ment for college men now in the
city who will depart soon for their
various institutions Of learning in
the States. Local tennis men and
those from the other islands, now
in the city, will likewise be asked
to participate.
At a meeting of the board of
management of the P. I. c., held
in the office of the Hawaiian Safe
Deposit and Investment Compa
at noon yesterday, it was decided
to proceed at once with the ar
rangements for the tournament.
Charles Hyde was instructed to in
vite the tennis men to join in
the tournament. So efficient was
his work that, by evening, the fol-
lowing teams gave their consent to
play:
Messrs. Rosecrans and Abbott of
Lahainaluna school; the Atherton
brothers II. Mist and James DIR.
Nichols and Jones; Cooke and J.
Waterhouse; Potter and De La
Vergne; Hyde and Morton; Dill
lingham and Coney.
The tournament will begin this
afternoon at 4 o'clock on the courts
of the Pacific Tennis Club, Union
Square. Undoubtedly this will be
an intensely interesting tourna-
ment, as the visiting men from col
leges and the other islands are all
crack players and perfectly con-
versant with the peculiar twists of
the racket.
The finals will be played on
Saturday. No matter how interest
ing the sets during the week may
be, it is beyond a question play on
Saturday will be of nature calcu-
lated to arouse more than usual
interest among tennis enthusiasts.
Interest in tennis has been on
the increase, and may be said to be
at the top notch of enthusiasm just
at the present time. Tennis men
will try to keep it at that place as
long as possible.
