number of ladies who are interest
ed in preventing cruelty to animals
Lieutenant Elliott will be the
Captain of the officers team and DR..
Nichols has charge of the Honolulu

The taiors are busy making ap-
propriate suits for the players aud

vance in the price Of wadding want
ed for "leg stuffing" purposes.
The Philadelphia band will be in
attendance and appropriate music
will be played when Elliott and his
team get off their bases. The

sent and set the teeth of the audi
ence on edge when DR., Nichols and
his men are caught on the fly. Bet
ting is very lively, The INDEPEND
ENT is stakeholder for a very rash

holders for some more similar stakes
