MALFEASANCE IN OFFICE
CHARGE LAID AGAINST SOUTH
KONA ROAD BOARD.
The Minister of Interior has a Petition
Before Him Asking for Their Reno
val-New Men Recommended.

Minister of Interior King has just
received a petition from about forty
tax papers and residents of South no
ma. Island of Hawaii, requesting that
the present District Roard Board be
removed.
Several reasons are given to the
Minister for such a course. They are
best told i'm the petition which reads:
The persons undersigned for them
selves and the majority of residents
of South kona, respectfully reques;
that the present district road board
be removed on account of general in
attention, diltory methods and for
eNpending funds upon small, unim-
portant and isolated section of road
way contiguous to their own abodcs,
no reasonable traffic warranting such
/ outlay, and the immediate needs of
! public highways being totally ignor-
/ ed. The business of the board is not
made public and no statement of ac-
counts has been published or given to
! the tax payers"
! The petitioners also insist that there
| is general dissatisfaction existing in
the district with the present board.
! The Minister is asked to appoint Il
/ new board and James II. Davis. Thorn
| as Wright and John Gaspar are rec
| commended for nomination. "They are

GLADSTONE AS 4 PROPHET.

In his sketches of Parliamentary
characters Mr.. Furness says:
Another habit peculiar to Mi.
Mr.. Gladstone during debate was that
of turning around and addressing the
members behind him. Upon one oc-
casion, in 1889. he turned to his youn-
ger supporters, and gave them this
notable advice: i stand here as IA
member of the house, where there are
many who have taken their seats for
the first time upon these benches, and
where there may be some to whom

own intention to keep my counsel

mend them to do the same"-holding

Hawaiian
Electric
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 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 l
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night 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 wall.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers

visited the betting enclosure, the most
interesting event of the day was the
third race, the first hurdle race of the
meeting, and one of the best ever wit
messed here The distance was one and
one-eight miles over four hurdles. There
were six entries. 1t had been expected
that j. O. c. would be the favorite, but
Gold Dust displaced him in the favor
of the talent, and so heavy was the bet
ting on the latter that the odds became
almost like reversing the tables, the
people taking the ODDS and the bookies
taking the money Gold Dust opened at
13 to 5, and gradually his stock went up,
until at the close Of the betting not more
than 2 to 5 could be secured on him.

1t seemed that almost everybody played

to put a stop to the placing of small

would have captured the money with
Masorero, but as ii was Marquise thrust
her nose under the wire barely in time
to win, while Alvarado brought up in
third place, two lengths ahead of Lo-
rena III. The excellence of this run will
be realized when it is stated that the
time was 1:4.
There was a vigorous protest before
the award of the first race, and for
time 1t appeared that the first horse in
would be disqualified. Jones, who rode
Alvarado, went to the judges stand and
stated that Wisob and McNichols had
deliberately foued him in the stretch

races there were those who cared more
for the wheel than they did to know
which horse passed first under the wire.
Although it was thought that the
touts were in evidence on the opening
day, their number then was but a mere
handful as compared with the mob who
crowded into the betting stand yester-
day. On every hand there was a sug-
gestion from some one of these leeches
as to how money ought to be placed
At some of the books it was difficult to
place money because of the importuni-
ties of the touts. The bookmakers even
some times complained, although ii is
supposed they were the ones most bene-
fited, for a tout's tips are but poor
basis for a bet. There were really no
large bets, most of the money being
placed in small amounts of never NOR
than two figures. One reason for this
was the decided inclination to play tn Z
favorites and. the almos. prohibitive
odds on what was considered the best
horse in some of the races.
The first race was a selling event of one

change until the stretch was reached
except that BoZeman had crawled into
second place, with Howard third. Go

and gradually lost ground. Bozema II
took the lead and won handily Polish,

A perfect track, perfect day, an en-

the part of the riders combined to make
the second day of the eighteenth annual

all points, except that of attendance
than the officers of that organization has
hoped for. Why it was that there wer;

because they had been the day before
and could not go two days in succession
The greater number remained away
putting off their visit until today, wher

5000, but, as on Thursday, it was largely
made up of men who knew the horses
and who were familiar with the details
of the racing game. This had the effec,
of greatly increasing the enthusiasm
