FUNDS ALL RIGHT
City Auditors Report Shows Better
Condition

For the first time in several months the
auditors weekly report shows a large bal
ance to the credits of the cash, common
school, street lighting and street sprnkling
funds. For months there has been a de-
iiciency in the various funds and for that
reason many warrants against them are now
outstanding. The appointments made last
week have placed them in position to pay
the outstanding claims. 1t is the intention
and desire of Auditor Nichols to close the
month with clean accounts.
The treasurers balance for the week is
$3.50, 0,029.37, against S444 ,3377S of last week.
The funds with cash to their credit are as fol-
lows: Cash, So 0,35304; common school. SIS
0S4 .4S; salary, S4,SlS.60; fire, s343O %; street
lighting, SS124.Sl; street sprinkling. S4363 |.

A REGIMENT WIN
Honolulus Badly Beaten
in Saturdays Game.
One-Sided Game After the Sixth
Inning-Score Of Fourteen
to Four.

Had the baseball game Of Saturday
between the Regiment and Honolulu
teams ceased at the sixth inning
good record would have been handed
down but, unfortunately, this did not
| happen and the consequence is that
a poor game will have to be scheduled.
Up until the sixth inning the Homo
lulus had been playing the fnist kind
of ball Barney Lemon was in the box
and his work counted. At this stage
Jackson was placed in the box and the
Honolulus simply went all to pieces.
They got wild, passed balls were fire.
quent and the Regiment boys had
lovely time running BASES. The scOr-
ing stopped here for the HonOlulus,
but the other team kept right on. The
score at the end of the sixth inning
was to 4 in favor Of the Regiment
team while at the end of the game it
was If to 4 in their favor The Regi-
ment team played in its old time good
form and outdid the Honolulu boys in
the matter Of general ship. John Soper
had the pleasure of umpiring the game
all ly himself. He did good work.
The players were as follows:
Regiment-Moore, 2b; Jones, CT;
Wilder, c; Lewis, IF; German, 3b;
Davis, lib; Bower, IS; Kiley, If;
Hart, p.
Hanalulu-Thomps 2b; Dayton, c;
Willis, 1b; Pryce, If; Gleason, s.;
Luahiwa, 3b; Lemon, p KaanOi, CT;

The score by innings was as follows:
12345 6789
REGIMENT .....1 q 1 2 2 2 %-14
Honolulu 100 g. 0 1 0 0 0 0 o.
The Regiment team will be material
ly strengthened on next Saturday by
the addition of Sonny Cunha TO its
ranks. Cunha is expected back here
on the steamer of the 22nd. 1t is well
known that he has been playing great
baseball in San Jose recently.
The departure of Lemon, the crack
pitcher of the Honolulu team, in the.
near future, means a serious state OF
affairs on the part of the wearers of
the blue and white It is to be hoped
that these boys will be able to get
some other players who viii help them
along.
