Race Track Notes.

The horses are getting into
form and so is the track. 1t is to
be hoped that nobody will stay
out simply because his horse
hasn't got sure thing. The OBJ
iect Of a race should not be q paltry
purse or a few dollars made on
bets. The development of good
stock should be the main issue.
Bert Lee is doing some good
work, and will make it uncom-
fortably hot for some trotter.
Here is his latest time: 2:35 1884
2:29I. That doesn't look very
bad. McGinty and Daylight took
walk in 2:51 and 2:40. But
when the band plays and the
starter "hollers," and the srecta-
tors roar, the prospects are that
the present time will be "way off. |"

Billiards..

In the rush for baseball, foot
ball and tennis the noble game
of billiards has found set back.
There was a time when Honolulu
had some very good players, and
when billiards was a game in
which our leading men took in
terest. The interest has deterior-
ated. 1t is therefore pleasure to
state that the hotel management
has given its billiard business
Into the hands of Harry Saylor,
and that well-known billiardist
has made arrangements which
will improve the billiard room of
the hotel greatly, and that he is
preparing for a tournament which
probably will be started in a week
or two. With good tables and
excellent lights the prospects are
insured. Ii old timers like Mars
den, Parker, Howe, Keohokalole
and others will enter in the tour
nament and some of the young
sters get over their bashfulness
and join in the affair it we'll be
highly interesting, and the event
watched with pleasure by all
wielders of the cue.

RETURN OF THE NAVY.

in the Cruise.

At quarter to nine o'clock
last night the Governments
chartered revenue cutter -Lehua
was announced as having arrived
and anchored in naval row.. A
reporter of the INDEPENDENT was
the only one to be at the Oceanic
wharf especially to receive the
officers Of the navy. Deputy
Collector Il. B. McStocker and
Gauger George Strat emeyer
happened along to the same
place, without knowing the cutter
hs d arrived, in time to join in the
welcome home.
Captain Macauley, on being
asked for the log, answered that
he was not in a position to give
any information about the cruise.
"Did you catch anything" he
was asked,
well, l don't know that L can
answer you even that" was the
reply given coed naturally.
Port Surveyor M. N. Sanders,
the executive revenue officer OF
tn cutter, was slightly more
mmunicative when followed up.
ooh, we were over about
Maui" he said.
"Well, did yon catch anything'"
Yes" he answered with a
laugh, I'VE caught a big ulua this
morning, which weighed seventy
five pounds
This is all the INDEPENDENT
could get about the second cruise
of the navy, and if there is o
scoop out anywhere it is simply
