FOR FOREIGN FOOTBALL
PLAN TO TAKE A HAWAIIAN TEAM
TO THE COAST.
The Scheme Seems Entirely Practic-
able-Big Audiences in Sight--Local
Men Must Work Hard.

A matter of dozen active foot bali
players met at the Y. VI. c. 4. at Z: 80
Monday evening and had sort of lob
by discussion of the project to take a
team to San Francisco. Mr.. G II. Rob
inson, visitor, who suggests the
scheme, was present. The general
concensus of opinion seemed to be in
favor of the trip, though innumerable
details first to be arranged presented
themselves.
Mr.. Robinson's idea is to leave Ho-
nolulu with twenty men on December
10, play Christmas and New Years
Day and be back in six weeks. One
of the games would be with the Olym-
pics and the other with the Reliance
Club. 1t is calculated that if the
weather is fine $4,000 people will see
each game. The Honolulus will try
to get sixty per cent of the gate re-
ceipts.
Mr.. Robinson knows the Coast clubs
and agrees with Mr.. j. @. Wood that
the Honolulus can, in practice, PLAY
enough at the Coast to keep them
selves warm. Some of the best ma
terial in the country is outside of the
organized teams altogether and would
have to go in training at once. Crane
could not go to the Coast, and Mr..
Wood would only go as coach. Very
strong men who are already in sight
are: Cupid, Dayton, Kupihea. Tuft
Warehouse, johnson, Andrade and
others.
The team for the Coast will be or
ganized at once and put into active
training. Not much can be done in
the way of playing together until
after the season is over. Excursion
rates will be given by the steamship
company, which will reduce expenses
At the Coast an effort will be made to
get three games in San Francisco and
one in some other city.

PUNISHMENT OF JOCKEYS.
A Racing Man Points Out the Necessity
of 1t.


Racing Man Points Out the Necessity
of 1t.
In criticising the unfair methods Of
certain successful jockeys a writer for
the New York Journal pertinently says
1.-THE crack rider gets picked mounts.
The horse he rides is always one of the
dangerous division, and naturally every
move he makes while at the post gives
cue to the other jockeys. The result
is a serious handicap for the starter.
''In starts where machine is used
they can make most of this inclination
Of the lesser lights to follow leader.
They will take horse back several
lengths and bring him up running. The
others see him coming and break. The
starter orders the barrier lifted, sees all
in motion and naturally drops his flag
The start which to him appears to be
good brings howls of disapproval from
the crowd, for when the horses are set
tied into their strides the field is badly
strung out, with the star, thanks to
his running send off, lengths to the
good. This is an everyday happening,
and unless punishment is melted out
things will go from bad to worse.
sin other cases we see good starts
spoiled by the refusal of these crack
riders to take little the worst of it.
They must have the best of it or they
refuse to break. This sort of thing makes
good work on the part of the starter al
most impossible, and yet when he at
tempts to check it by Furnishing public
favorite he is abused i'll all quarters
How is this to be remedied, unless
the offenders are punished? To request
their help at the post is waste of
words To threaten punishment is
equally fruitless. The one way to end
the trouble is to put the offenders ON
the ground and keep them there.
Filming has been tried repeatedly,
but this brings no relief, for owners, in
order to secure the service of some ia
vorite rider, pay the tax, thus killing
the sting of the penalty.
IA firm stand is necessary. Suspend
the offenders, no matter what their con
nections or how great the need of their
services, even if it be necessary to have
all the stars on the ground at the same
time.
ga lesson of this sort would be tell
ing one, and in the end would have the
desired result.

Tint Cuban flag Incident.

The newspapers of Madrid appear to be
unnecessarily excited by the statement
that a Cuban flag was displayed in the
St. Louis convention, and are telling the
government that the real Cuban ques-
ton is in the United States, not in Cuba,
and that it should at once recognize that
such is the fact and act accordingly.
Clearly they are not very well informed
about matters in this country that relate
to Cuba, certainly not well enough in
formed to advise the government. There
was a Cuban flag displayed in the St.
Louis convention, but not by any act of
the convention. nor with its consent.
Some Cuban sympathisers thought to
have big demonstration when the Gu
ban plank Of the platform wassread, and
they arranged to have a Cuban flag way
ed at that particular time. The flag, how
ever. elected no applause. The accounts
of the incident agree that there was slight
applause when the Cuban plank was read
"a plank that means very little-but that
when the flag WAC waved there was no
demonstration whatever. That would in
uIcaAe lndl the convention was not over
whelmingly in favor of having a war with
Spain. for Cuba's sake AS far as the
newspaper accounts go there was no such
demonstration in the St. Louis convention
as justifes the Madrid newspapers in
| declaring that the real Cuban question is
in the United States.
There is undoubtedly great deal of
sympathy for Cuba in this country, and
it is but natural there should be- but just

that very soon, when there will be such a

sunday and tIe bicycle.

The number of riders of bicycles that
may be seen any pleasant Sunday on the
streets and the several good roads that
lead into the country, suggests food for
thought. What influence will the wheel
have upon Sunday observance, and the
formation of the character OF the rising
generation? 1t win be admitted that the
manner N which the Sabbath is kept is a
pretty good index to character, and that
hardly anything has a more demoralizing
influence upon youth than persistent Sab
bath breaking. When conscience with res
pect TO the Lords day is hushed, it is not
very hard to disregard other things that
Christian people regard as sacred,
The difficulty is to draw the line be-
tween harmless recreation on Sunday, and
Sabbath breaking. Admit that there is no
improperly in taking a walk on Sunday
afternoon. and the wheel rider will ask
wherein is the greater harm of getting
on wheel and riding. Grant that inno-
cent relaxation may be taken after the re-
ligious exercises of the day. and the ques-
ton arises, is it not innocent relaxation
miles. where the fresh and invigorating
air viii help to brush the cobwebs out of
the brain?
1t might be puritanical to say that bicy-
Gle riding should not he INDUCED in at all
on Sunday; that 1t is sinful. and ought to
be discouraged. There are numbers of
clerks and other working people
in the cities who have no
time except Sundays to give their
limbs a little needed exercise and Their
lungs a draught Of ozone. 1t would be
great hardship if they might not have their
little outings on Sunday afternoons; and it
is not the purpose of Christian religions to
impose unnecessary hardships upon any
person or thing.
Still, there are evidences that there
should be line drawn upon Sunday bicy-
cling. In this city there are young boys,
say thirteen to eighteen years old, who
mount their bicycles after breakfast on
Sunday mornings and are not seen again
that day by their parents untI after night
fall. In some instances not even darkness
brings them in. How they spend the time
must be conjectured. 1t Is not likely, how
ever, that their associations are of the
kind to build up a character of which pa
rents and friends would be proud. Wen
developed bodies are a blessing, but they

better business Feeling.

There is no doubt that the emphatic
declaration in favor of sound money made
by the St. Louis convention has had a
buoyant effect upon the market for both
securities and products. In business cir
Giles there is now apparent a more hopeful
feeling, and consequently there is a dis
position to take greater risks in business
undertakings.
In our dispatches yesterday the COM
mercial agency OF r. G. Dun & Co was
quoted as follows: There are continued
signs that a gain in business has begun.
Stocks have gone higher than they We're
before the artificial break of ten days
ago. Wheat and cotton are in better de-
mand, there IS more confidence in none
tary circles and the tendency towards
shrinkage in great industries seems, in
some measure, to be checked" Another
New York dispatch stated that there was
no engagement of gold for shipment to
Europe on Saturday. and that London
buying of American securities was quite
a feature of Fridays business trans
actions. Even in this city there was a
better feeling in the security market,
which had been extremely dull for several
weeks.
It is well understood that the uncertain
ty in respect to the money question has
had more to do with bringing about the
depression in business than any other
one thing There is plenty of idle money
in both this country and Europe. 1t would
be put into circulation at once if there
was a certainty that the existing name
tary standard would be maintained, and
then the times would steadily improve.
The fact that there was Improvement in
business Immediately after one of the
great political parties had put itself on
record as favoring a sound and stable
currency makes clear what it Is that is
depressing business and checking all sorts
of Industrial undertakings. Knowing the
cause and the remedy it can hardly be
possible that the great democratic party
will put itself on record as favoring a
degraded currency, when 1t holds it's con-
vention at Chicago next month. To do
so would be a great mistake. If it should
boldly declare for sound money the times
would become better at once. The money
that is now held by investors because
they don't know what to do with 1t would
be put into circulation. New enterprises
would be undertaken ard business of
nearly all kinds would have a revival
such as has not been known for 2 long
time. If delegates TO the Chicago con-
vention will study the situation carefully
they will see that by favoring sound
money they will greatly strengthen the
feeling of confidence which has begun to
show itself in all parts of the country.

An Octogenarian Horse story.

"This is not fish story" the story tel
Ter remarked, says the New York Times
IT'S a horse story with a schooner at
tached. l heard 1t coming in on a train
from Connecticut, and as the man that
told it was at least eighty years old, and
had no reason for telling anything except
the truth at that time of life, l suppose
it is true. We happened TO be seated to-
gether, and, after talking about one thing
and another, something induced him to

pl.ed accordingly.
When l was a young man. he con-
tinued, a schooner came to the town
where / lived for a load of horses that had
been picked up for the city. The skipper
rugged up a lot of stalls on deck, and at
high tide the horses were driven on board.
1t was late in the afternoon before the
last one was barred in, and, being about
feeding time, the crew opened a bundle of
hay and fed the horses first on one side
and then on the other. Then the strangest
thing happened. The horses were hungry,
and they were not long in sticking their
heads into the feed. Those that had been
fed first began to eat first, of course.
" In a few minutes the schooner began
to roll from side to side, and the crew ran
about like wild men. They didn't know
what to do, and the horses kept on eating.
1t was this way, you see: Every time the
horses on one side of the vessel held their
heads down for hay the horses on the
other side, as it happened, held their heads
no while maunching and vice versa. The
center of gravity changed every time a
horse moved, and as the horses were eat
ing quickly the upward and downward
motions affected the vessel so much that
we thought she would capsize. Queer,
wasn't it? w hat did they dO?' was
obliged to ask. 1 don't know the old gem

Amid the storm.

The stately ship rolled and plunged, says
the Chicago Tribune.
For many hours the captain had sought
to make Roadway against the terrible gale,
but al a critical moment a portion of the
machinery had become disabled and there
was nothing to do but to put the vessel
about and run before the wind.
Great waves dashed over the bulwarks
and swept the deck. The timbers groaned
and creal1ed, and the water in the hold had
begun to gain on the pumps, which were
now going constantly.
A deputation of passengers waited upon
the captain.
