Town boys, and did some of the finest
playing of the game.
Without one exception, perhaps, yes
terday's football contest (begun at
3:45 and ended at $50 was the best
that has ever been seen on Hawaiian
soil, the score of 4 to 0 at once ex-
planning that fact very well. There
was gentIemanIy playing and a good
spirit manifested throughout No
matter how close was the fighting and
however good the chance for a sly
punch. there was a respect, each for
the other team, which made the game
both interesting TO look at and capa-
BILE of enjoyment as clean sport. Out
side of a few bruises and several cases
of wind entirely knocked out, there
was nothing in the line of injury cal
cuIated to mar the game.
The grand stand was crowded to it's
utmost capacity, and perhaps beyond.
Never has a larger crowd been present
for the carriages was entirely taken
up, and many were the fair ones pres
ent who wore either the buff and the
blue or the scarlet and white. Promi-
nent among the people present were
the members of the Hawaiian Band,
under the leadership of Prof. Berger,
who played little snatches of popular
airs whenever the opportunity afforded
and who made every one feel like dane
ing Or shouting.
