SOME POINTERS.

George Angus came out winner in the
race, with Giles close second.
George Martin made the time record,
leading the fourth relay out and finish

ahead of Sylvester, the next best man
in point of speed He was obstructed at
the Hotel corner by the Kawaiahao
Seminary girls, but he gallantly rode
around them, and then put his nose to
the handle-bar.
The absence of firm combinations
made the race the most enjoyable that
has been seen here since wheeling be-
came popular.
One of the best features of the race
was the fact that there was an entire
lack of pacing, and each rider seemed
bent upon making the best time
Walker met with a distressing acci-
dent on Beretania street. in the neigh
borhood of Thomas Square. Some
young ladies in a brake made an at
tempt TO cross the street while the
wheelman was almost upon them. 1t
was impossible for Walker to get out
of the way and he ran direct for the
horse, knocking both animal and brake
over. Although bruised and dazed, Wal
ker jumped on again as soon as posi-
bic and was off to-fnish his part OF the
race. The accident accounts for the
slow time of 1890 The fact that
Walker could upset a horse and break,
throw out two ladies and injure him
self severely, and yet have his CleVe-
land intact speaks volumes for his
wheel.
Dexter's team was not what he eX-
pected 10 put in the race; two of those

PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.
President and Mrs. Dole Received
Friends at Executive Building.

The public reception held by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Dole in the council cham
Der of the Executive building was the
social function of the day, and was un-
doubtedly the largest public reception
ever held at the Executive building
since the Republic was proclaimed.
The large hall and the council cham
Der had been very prettily decorated
with potted palms and floral designs
under the direction of the Misses Along.
President and Mrs. Dole, assisted by
Mrs. H. E. Cooper, received their many
guests in the council chamber. The
following were among the ladies who
assisted Mrs. Dole: Mrs. G. P. Wilder,

NIGHT EXHIBITION.
Magnificent Fireworks on Execu.
tive Grounds-Large Crowd.

Promptly at 7:30 the Hawaiian band
stationed in the band stand in the Ex-
ecutive grounds, struck UP a familiar
air and this was signal for the man
in charge of the mortars to set the ball
rolling
The lawn was crowded with groups
of citizens, foreigners and Hawaiians,
and the streets were thronged with
people who for an hour and a half
watched one of the prettiest, if not the
most expensive, fireworks exhibition
seen here in years. There were no ex-
pensive set pieces such as were seen
last year, but those that were set off
gave quite as much satisfaction to the
public.
There were $50 bombs of various
kinds, 65 dozen rockets and fountains
of different kinds and rs pounds of red,
blue and green fire lighted Some of
the pieces were novel and all were
beautiful.
The success of the fireworks feature
of the day was due to the untiring eff
forts of the chairman j. A. Kennedy
of the committee.

errors. The score was to IL in favor
of Honolulus, but of the runs credited
Honolulus earned and the Kameha-
mehas 2.
Meheula, the old time pitcher for
Kamehamehas went into the box for
nine innings and succeeded in striking
out nine men. The feature of the game
was his splendid hit over second to the
corner of the grounds and the home
run which followed.
Willie Lucas at second base for the
Honolulus distinguished himself in the
in-f1eld if not at the bat. Finney, of
the Bulletin, was out of sight in right
field and made desperate effort to
find the ball whenever he went to bat.
He found it once for a two-bagger, but
was left on base. Dayton and Jimmy
Lemon swiped the ball for three bag
gers and each of them scored runs.
Bridges, the usually good batsman
of the Kamehamehas had hard luck.
R. Pahau went behind the bat and
went through the game with but one
passed ball against him.
An incident that caused some dis
satisfaction was mistake in scoring
in the Honolulus third inning. Day
ton, Clark, Lucas and Lemon made
runs, but the boy at the score board
marked up three runs. When the mis-
take was rectified some time later R.
Pahau objected. but was finally con-
vinced that it was all right.
The attendance was probably four
thousand and every body was well
pleased. Following is the score:

alleviate their suffering consulted two
eminent doctors in New York, and after
several months treatment l could dis
cover no visible improvement, not say
ing anything for their recovery.
While in Jefferson, Texas, some two
years since, happened to mention the
condition of my wife and son to lead
ing physician and druggist. He advised
me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. At
ter considerable persuasion l reluctant
ly consented to do so. At first bought
two packages and by the time one
package had been taken saw a marked
change for the better. continued the
use of them until twenty packages or
boxes had been taken, when to my great
joy. my wife and son had fully recover
