| ONE-MILE TANDEM.
This was undoubtedly the prettiest
wheel race of the day, and called forth
more genuine interest than any of the
previous events. d. G. Sylvester aud
j. Silva took the lead and kept it even
to the last quarter. T. V. King and
Sam Johnson had been following very
closely, and by beautiful squirt left
all their adversaries in the rear. H.
Giles and R. Bond, and George Martin
and F. Damon passed the Portuguese
team, too, but they were unable to
catch King and Johnson. Giles and
Bond came in second. Time: 2:26.
On account of the lateness of the
hour, for it was about $50 p. m, it was
decided to dispense with the ring tour
nament, so that when the tandem race
was finished the band played Hawaii
Ponoi" and the spectators had the sig
nal that the most interesting series Ct
athletic events ever given in Honolulu
had come to an end.
