SPORTING WORLD.

and game OF errors, fumbles and hard
luck on the part uf the home players
For nine innings Holy Cross did as she
pleased, banging the ball hither and
thither about the lot till q grand total Of
IL runs had been scored while Brown,
poor Brown, was whitewashed. The
game, If such it can be rightly called,
was only another horrible example Of
Browns erratio playing and yet, for all,
there was just a slight shade OF an excuse
for Browns poor playing, namely, her
crippled condition.
Summersgill opened in the box for
Brown and treated all hands to an excel
lent exhibition of fast twirling. His
first inning was gilt-edged, his second OF

Holy Cross played beautiful game,
almost an erroress one, in which sensa-
tional plays were features. In the fifth
inning McIigue the visitors FIRST base

leather bounded through his glove into
Curley's hands and Curley shot IL across

This was only one of the sensational
plays. There were others and IA the face
OF such fielding Brown players and spec

theirs, indeed. was an uphill fight.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-05-24

The position of the Council of State,
with regard to the $4,000 asked for by
the Government, was outlined in these
columns last Saturday. Today will
be found on the first page the views
of several of the members of the
Council, who thus speak for them
selves directly to the public. A con-
temporary tries to throw dust in the
eyes of the public and harps up the
subject that the bills should be paid
No one has said that the bills ought
not to be paid. The Councillors dis
tinctly state that they consider the
expenses properly incurred. This is
not the question at issue; the question
is whether, under the circumstances,
the Government was justified in apply
ing to the Council. Had the $4,000
still to the credit of the Board of
Health been expended, the answer of
the Council might have been quite diff
ferent. 1t is question of principle
with the Council.

4 RONAL RIRTHDAN.

Today is celebrated the seventy
eighth anniversary of Queen Vic
toria's birthday No Monarch that
the world has ever known has filled
so large space in the worlds vision.
In the very remotest corner of the
globe is known the name of Victoria.
In the heart of Asia, in Central Africa,
among the Arctic SHOWS and amid the
arid deserts, she is spoken of. And
this has come from no genius for con-
quest, like Alexander or Caesar, or
Napaleon;. no talent for law-giving,
like Scion or Justinian, but just from
filing a high position as a good wom-
an and true lady should.
The celebration of today will be
dimmed by the approaching festival
of next month, when the unique event
of the Diamond Jubilee will be cello
brated. But few hours can be set
aside by the British here to commem-
crate Her Majesty's natal day and to
hope that she may be spared yet Z
few years longer to represent her
country and its institutions.

of various nations waved from the
poles in all portions of the city, and
at noon a salute was fred from the
men-of-war.
This afternoon at $3.50 o'clock a gen.
eral reception of the public will take
place at the British Consulate in Pa
lama. A lanai has been constructed
purposely for the reception. The af-
fair will be more in the form of q
