men Berry, Cannon, Tawney, Lauden.
Slayer and party, on board, accompa-
MED by Professor w. ID. AleXande,
and Attorney General w. O. Smith
Imediately on landing the party was
conveyed by special train to Spreck-
elsville. where they breakfasted with
Manager Boote. Soon after breakfast
they were hurried back to Kahului,
and off for Hilo, the steamer getting
an early start. \ short stop was alsu
made at Hama in the afternoons.
Though they were so short time on
the island the Congressman were all
struck with the immense sweep of
cane land on Haleakala's slopes, and
with the fine mill buildings on the big
plantation. They also were interested
in the enterprise that built the rail
road and expressed themselves pleas
ed with the energy displayed by the
Island pioneers.
The polo tournament last Saturday
at Makawao was the most interesting
contest of the season. Over a score
of buggies lined the grounds, and
many other spectators came on horse
back Much interest was taken in
the game, and good plays roundly ap
plauded. The contestants were: Reds
L. Won Tempsky, S. f. Kalama and
w. H. King: Blues-Arthur and Win
Baldwin, and John L. Fleming: Whites
George H. Bailey, B. D. Baldwin and
w. F. Pogue.
The Blues came out victorious, al
though they were pushed by the
Whites. The most effective individual
playing was done by B. ID. Baldwin,
and the longest drive made by Arthur
Baldwin, while VIII Baldwin, George
Bailey, Won Tempsky and Fleming did
good work.
This game most likely ends the polo
season, though there is talk of trying
to continue it, with local talent alone.
