The sports will begin on the Ka-
piolani race course at 2 80 sharp,
and an effort will be made to carry
out the programme in such man
ner as to obviate the tedious delays
which are so often prevalent on
such occasions.
General admission will be fifty
cents to any part of the grounds.
No extra fee will be charged for
horses or carriages.
There will be no game between
the Stars and UnknoWns as indi-
Gated by the schedule. This action
shows the goodwill of the baseball
boys toward the field day project.
The days events will not be
complete without the presence of
Professor Berger and the Hawaiian
Band to furnish music. An attempt
will be made to secure them.
Entries will close at Thrum's
bookstore this 1 pm. A halfday's
grace have been given those who
failed to hand in their names yes
terday. Some seventy will take
part in the events.
Field day promises to be the ath-
letic event Of the season. Wagon
cite and horseback riding parties
have been arranged. Each con-
testant will have his quota of fair
admirers to congratulate in case of
victory, or to offer sympathy in
defeat. There is at present con-
siderable talk of tin-horn brigade
to furnish noise in monotonOus
places.
The bicycle races will undoubt-
edly be the most interesting ever
given on the islands, from the fact
that the riders are very evenly
matched this year. The greenhorn
race promises to furnish amuse-
ment, if not excitement. Clumsy
road wheels and perspiring youths
will be quite contrast to the races
that precede.
The mile run is creating general
interest, from the fact that there
are some dark horses in the list,
upon whom no one might think to
cast a glance at first sight.
The committee on arrangements
is to be congratulated for its good
judgment in placing the ring tour
nament last on the programme.
Those who have seen such tourna-
ments will agree that interest never
flags for one moment. Nothing
better could have been chosen for
the last event, when, if at any
time, tediousness begins to draw
nigh.
