Long before o'clock the crowds be-
gan flocking 10 the track, many people
for the first time seeing it Illuminated.
The sight was a beautiful one, and was
worth the price of admission, even
though there had been no races. The
effect OF the rejection of the hundreds
of incandescent lights on the minia-
ture lake was surprisingly beautiful.
The evening races were slower than
those in the afternoon, on account of
the time necessary to arrange the
handicaps But the meet was a good
one, and would have been enjoyable in
the extreme but for rank decision Of
the judges in the two-mile handicap.
The race was a close one between
Giles and Lyle, but that the latter won
by half wheel length was evident to
everyone who watched the wheels.
The judges made the mistake of their
lives in calling it dead heat. Again
when it was wheeled off one of the
judges insisted in calling four laps five,
and at the finish Giles was in the lead
and won five-siXths of the race. In
the interest of clean sports, and as the
error of the judges was manifest this
event should be considered mo race"
and ridden over. When the dead heat
was being considered, Referee Towse
went into the judges box and tried to
convince the men that they were mis-
taken, but he was ruled out. 1t is GER
tain that Arthur Giles does not want
the glory due victor if he does not
win it; in the opinion of the men at
the tape and in the grand stand near
the finish, he did not win the race.

eve have the weather with us to-
day" said Manager Clement of the
Cyclomere track last Saturday. "All
we want is the people" The young
man had his wishes gratified, for the
grand stand and bleachers' corner
were well patronized by the time the
first race was called. The Government
Band was present and played during
the afternoon. There were no exer-
cises, though there should have been
on the part of the local wheelmen to
show their appreciation of what Mr..
Desky has done for them.
In some respects the athletically-in-
clined young men of Honolulu are, to
a degree, cold-blooded, else the races
would have been delayed a few min
utes to have given the leading riders
or the dealers in wheels an opportunity
to say word of thanks to the promot-
er of racing on modern track in Ho-
nolulu. Mr.. Desky evidently did not
look for it, as he was in no way per-
turbed by the absence of it. On the
contrary, his face beamed with smiles
as the crowd gathered.
The afternoon racing was very sat-

isfactory to the audience, for the rea
son that there were no waits between
events; the men seemed ready when
called, and the officials were active in
having the races come off promptly.
For the first time many of those in the
audience saw professional riding, and
while pleasing to those who do not
ride wheel, the presence of Sharrick,
Whitman Jones and Fowler may
prove beneficial to some of the local
men. They have rather cute ways
about them in getting to the tape just
a wheels length ahead Of their rivals
and at a time when the other fellow
thinks he has it.
In one of the races John Sylvia got
bad fall, but showed his pluck by
getting on his wheel and making a no
BILE effort to catch up. The judges de-
cided that he was fouled and he was
given a chance to ride in the finals.
No prettier. race was seen in the after
noon meet than this final. Jones led on
the last lap, followed by Whitman and
Sharrickr with Sylvia bringing up the
rear. On the last eighth Sylvia spurted
and got 30-yard lead, but Sharrick
was after him. winning by a length.
But it made him blow considerably to
do it.

IN TIE AFTERNOON.

Before the beginning of the races
Willie Mott took the megaphone and
announced that "Trilby" Fowler would
not race in any of the events. People
were naturally disappointed at this, as
''Trilby' is known to possess a great
deal of speed.
Mott used the megaphone for the first
time in public, and his attempt was
not a bowling success.

Then came the finest exhibition of
racing that has ever been seen on
these Islands. The riders were watch
ing each other like cats. The swift
riders from the States were in the lead,
with Jones foremost. Sylvia was hang

1t looked as if Sylvia would win the
race, so great was his lead, but Shar-

great squirt within 30 yards of the

One Of the most curious phenomena
of nature is the precipitation Of frogs,
fish, crabs, angleworms, etc, with
rain from the clouds The story is told
i'll the annals of the French academy
and may be found in the August mum
Der, 1904. The narrative is by one Pro
fessor PontuS. In it he gives IN account
of an instance of millions of frogs which
fell in shower near Toulouse. He
states that he himself saw humorous
young frogs ON the coats of two gentle
men who Were out in the shower. Pro-
fessor Pontus says that he forthwith
repaired to the spot where the storm
had burst and found the roads and
fields literally alive with young frogs
and tadpolcs. In some places" says
the professor, "they were three or four
deep all over the ground, and the hoofs
OF the horses and the carriage wheels
killed thousands Of them. "
