Mr.. Davis. replying, said he had wait

an opinion save as expressed by de-

Good Food Is the Only Way

It's a mans bad habits that hurt him

PREFER A STRAIGHT LINZ
VINEYARD STREET IMPROVE
MENTS NOT SATISFACTORY.
President Dole and Cabinet Favor
Winding Roadway Between Emma
and Fort Streets,

The opening of Vineyard street from
Fort to Emma street by the Govern
ment has not been accomplished with
entire satisfaction to property owners
in that vicinity, judging by the COM
plants that are heard every day. The
opening OF this new street has been
completed to Fort street and work is
now progressing toward Nuuanu and
the river. So the kicks are liable not to
be considered for this reason.
The original drawings for that part
of the street extending from Emma
to Fort were drawn calling for
straight lines running S5 degrees. The
original drawings were later amended
by order of the Cabinet and have been
carried out in the opening of the road.
In the road between these two
streets there is a reverse curve, which
some Fort and Emma street tax payers
say is abominable. One of these, in
communication to The Star, says that
the road was so made because Presi-
dent Dole fancies curved highways and
that other ministers in the Cabinet
were pecuniarly interested.
Minister of the Interior King
laughed at these insinuations today.
"It is true that the Cabinet decided
to have the lines changed slightly
from the original drawings, but for
sufficient reasons" said he. The road
opens out mauka of the Fort street
house in order that the Government
would not be compelled to pay dam
ages for this valuable property. 1t is
true that a reverse curve is in the
street, but this is in order that the
road may connect with ain opening
leading down to the Jarrett property.
This again saved the Government road
damage, as well as tearing through Il
cluster of buildings"

Gymnasium Committee Meets and
Formulate Plans-Kewalo Bicycle
Track Proposition-Clubs Friendly,

At an important meeting of the
gymnasium committee of the Y. NJ. C..
A. last evening plans were laid out for
the revival of gymnastics in the asso-
citation. There were present Chairman
B. j. Beardmore, William j. Forbes,
Vida Thrum, Secretary Ill. E. Coleman,
ID. w. Corbett being absent. a COM
plete and thorough discussion of this
was gone into with the result that a
determination will be made at once to
awaken interest in athletics among
the members. Chairman Beardmore
will submit his report to the directory
and later the association, which meets
on next Monday evening.
Three classes are to be organized
Immediately. They are the Young
Mems, which will meet on Tuesday
and Friday evenings; the Business
Mems, on Monday and Friday even
ings; the school boys, which will, meet
on Monday and Friday afternoons. At
present the members, before taking up
the gymnasium work are required to
first be examined by DR.. Clifford
Ryder, the Association examining phy-
sician, in order that it might be known
that they can stand the work. In ad-
dition to this Secretary Coleman who
will be the instructor in all physical
exercises, will introduce another ex-
animation of the members, which will
certainly meet with the hearty approx
al of every man or boy who contem-
plates taking the course. 1t is a thor
ough examination of the muscles of
the body. Secretary Coleman will take
down the exact measurement of the
girths and muscles as well as the
health condition. On this record are
also blank lines on which may be writ
ten any remark. The physical instruct
or will prescribe a certain kind of ex-
ercise to which the member will
adapt himself. In this way he is led
from one exercise to another as his
muscles develop and health will per-
nit. Every now and then an examina-
tion will be made, which, when COM
pared with the first examination, will
show the improvement that had been
made. Aside from a regular course
which Instructor Coleman will lay
down, special indoor work will be
taken up, such as basket ball and base
ball, and other games. Training in all
around muscle work will be urged,
such as standing broad jump, putting
16-pound shot, running high jump, 100
time rope-skip dash and one-quarter
mile potato race. After these games
have been gone through, the members
can take any special course they may
choose. 1T is Instructor toleman's
| purpose to pick out those members
most susceptible to the gymnasium
training and advance them as quick.
| ly as possible in order that they
might lend him assistance in handling
his classes.

HIGHEST OFFICIAL SCORE
CREEDMORE RULES GIVE HONORS
TO CAPTAIN WALL.
Captain Coyne Made Good Total, But
Member of the Sharpshooters
Holds the Best Record.

\ query of a subscriber of The Star
in regard to score of 40 made by
Capt Coyne, oh CompanyE, in an Off
cial shoot on Wednesday being the
highest official Hawaiian score, has
been answered.
Mr. f. S. Dodge, u member of the
Sharpshooters, says that it is not. In
support of his assertion Mr.. Dodge
points to a score of 40 points made by
Capt. w. +. Wall, of the Sharpshooters,
in February, 1896. Mr., Dodge says
that Capt. Wall made but four points
on the first shot, but scored five points
on the nine following shots. In the
Capt. Coyne score, it was on the
fourth shot that he fell off one point.
According 20 Creedmore rules"
said Mr.. Dodge this morning." and
they are considered the best, the score
of four points which is farthest from
the finish of the shoot, is considered
the best. Therefore, Capt. Wall, hav-
ing made perfect shots except at the
beginning, | would contend that it
would take n score of so to beat it.
Capt. Wall used a Springfield rifle, six
pound pull and other military require
ments. He has made 40 several times
since with his Remington and Sharps.
The battalion shoot, which was
scheduled to take place tomorrow af-
ternoon, will not come Off until week
from tomorrow, during the afternoon.
This postponement was decided upon
by Maj. Mcleod, of the First, and Maj.
Jones, of the Second, at a meeting TO-
day, for various reasons.
There is great deal of interest at
tached to this shoot. Thirty men, who
in previous practice proved themselves
to he the best marksmen, are chosen
from each battalion. The battalicns
are quite evenly matched. Company e,
regulars, is in the First, and Company
I f, regulars. is in the Second.
Company b and the police will COM
plete their match on Saturday of next
week. The military boys have bested
their opponents twice now, and re de-
termined to shut them out.
