TO CHALLENGE WINNER
SECOND REGIMENT OF y. G. c. BE
L1ENES IT CAN SHOOT.
Has 100 Men Who VIII Score High.
Waiting Result of Pending Match
Confident of Its Ability.

Now the Second Regiment of infan-
try of California has caught the shoot
ing fever and is patiently awaiting the
outcome of the match between the
First Regiment of the Golden State
and the National Guard of Hawaii.
That the winners of this match will
receive challenge from the Second
Regiment is quite likely from what
the Woodland Mail says. Mr.. Frasher,
of the Honolulu soda works, and Il
member of Company b here, is endeav-
oring to arrange a match between
Company f of Woodland and his com
pany.
The Woodland Mail, in speaking of
the proposed challenge. says:
"The Second Regiment of Infantry
/ can boast of some of the finest rifle
shots in the State, and also in the
number of these craftsmen. In view
of this fact, there is a movement on
foot among the officers of the regi-
ment to challenge the winners of the
Inter-Republic target match, which
will take place in the near future. One
hundred men from the first infantry
of this state ana a hundred picked
men of Honolulu are the contending
forces.
~ Mail reporter interviewed Capt.
Prindle of Company F, and Adjutant
I e -,
regard to this proposed challenge.
They both said that they thought the
challenge would be issued, and that
they were confident that they could
beat either of the other teams. From
the officers and ranks of our regiment
which embraces the Sacramento
Woodland, Nevada City, Marysville
Colusa and Chico companies, there
could be picked hundred men who
would almost be world beaters.
The Marysvile company now have
lusa guards are shooting like "house
afire," the Chico company have some
of the famous shots from the old Orc
vile company, and the Nevada City
Sacramento and Woodland companies
have some of the finest marksmen il
their membership.
Both officers are eager that the pro
posed match comes off, and will do al
they can to bring it about. Company
F will probably be well represented il
the great shoot if it does"

STARS THE BEST.
Diamond Giants Score Il
Final Big Victory.

This morning The Star Newsboys'
Base Ball team defeated the Advertis-
ers in a final game by score of IA to
5. This makes The Star boys the un-
disputed champions of the 1896 sea-
son. They have played twelve games
and have lost but three. The Adver-
tisers participated in eight matches
and lost four of these.
Today's game was one which eXcit-
ed interest among all the young lads
in the city. The Stars had it their own
way from the beginning. Their treas
ury is richer by a couple of dollars as
result of the game.
Here is the Star team: Kipi, C; XII
kila, p; WEIGH, 1b; Olmos, 2b; Luning
(Captain) 3b; Ichi, IS; Dumdum, eff;
Buck, If; Kakilina, IF.
The features of the game were:
Kipi caught foul behind the bat; Lun-
ing caught high fly, also made a fly
ing leap to third; Olmos brought two
men home by three-bagger; excel
lent work of Welsh on first.

FOOT BALL.
Great Game New Years Afternoon
With Band i'm Attendance.

1t is the sincere hope of all lovers
of foot ball sport that today's heavy
rain will not continue long enough to
spoil the great game which has been
arranged for the afternoon of New
Years Day. Both teams have been
faithful in their training during the
past fortnight and considering that
the conquering Town Team is to be
met with the best material that there
is in the Regiment and Punahou
elevens, the best match ever played on
Hawaiian soil may be reasonably eX-
pected.
Capt. Carlo Long, of the Townies,
says it is an easy thing. So says Capt.
Ella Long of the opposing team. The
game will begin promptly at $3.50
o'clock. The Government band will
be on hand and provide music.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is known to possess
merit or the power to cure disease; it is
known to be the best building up medicine

buy and take Hoods sarsaparilla almost
to the exclusion Of other preparations.

Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. a few days ago a prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received lot OF the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

Figs and
Candied Fruits.

Smyrna figs this year are of finer
flavor than we have yet had them.
Our stock is larger, in order that holt
day customers may be supplied. Sic
lily dates are also exceptionally good
and palatable.
If you have never succeeded in get
ting candied peel to suit your taste
you may break the monotony by send
ing us a trial order. The present stock
is worth recommending. And another
thing! Ripe California olives in
pickle. These are very uncommon but
with delicious favor. We sell these
in any quantity desired. They have
a different flavor from the ordinary
Queen olive because they are picked
when they are ripe and then put in
pickle.

A dramatic Il. count of this was in ali

why the Quaker's Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia
Il never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair ever
attended in Georgia, said 4 retired
Cincinnati meat packer. lit was at
Macon. and l think they called it a state
fair. At any rate it was big thing for
the town in those days. They had some
fine stock ON exhibition, and a Pennsyl-
vanian had sent down about 20 Of the
finest looking hogs you ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites, and if 1
recollect Alright they We're exhibited by
Thomas Wood, a great hog and cattle
fancier Of 20 and 80 years ago He it
was who introduced that famous breed
of hogs, the Chester White, and he
made Il great deal Of money ont of his
fancy stock. He was a Friend-a Qua
ker, you know-who used the plain Ian
guage and wore broad brimmed hat
He was a smart old gentleman. honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair, and they took so
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like boy who had spent all
his money making collection of badges.
"When the Macon judges made their
awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally to the razor backs, but not one Of
the fat. sleek Pennsylvania hogs got a
prize. The owner of the exhibit did not
understand it, SO he hunted up one of
the judges and said in the language Of
the Friends:
'''I know thee to be an honest man,
and do not question thy fairness in the
award, but to crafty my own curiosity
l would be glad to have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes to the ma
tive stock and what fault thee found in
mine?'
:" My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly, the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome. and
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are sc
short legged and fat that a nigger could
catch them in two minutes. What we
require in hog in the south is legs and
wind. We give our prizes for speed. p"
