by a very good margin, and George
Martin of the II. A. A. G. took second

| judges set 2:40 as the limit, and on
being raced over again the time of
2:45 was made. The judges again de-
clared: mo race"

limit had been set. Under these cir
cumstances he claimed the race by rea-
son of having come in first on the first
time around.
| At the start-off Silva walked to the
scratch. He said he would win the
race ana nave a SOOu llIu6.
1t is probable that the mile invita-
ton race will be run off again today,

ONE-MILE TANDEM.
This was undoubtedly the prettiest
wheel race of the day, and called forth
more genuine interest than any of the
! preyious events. d. G.. Sylvester aud
]. 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 a 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 Of
athletic events ever given in Honolulu
had come TO an end.
