SCARCITY OF TARO.
Poi is High and Many Poor Natives
Cannot Buy.

Taro is scarce, and as a result the
price of poi has gone up materially.
Many poor natives are deprived of
their principal article of food, and
there is not a little suffering in con-
sequence. Housewives of all nation
alities are complaining as well, for Ia
70 prepared in various ways, can be
found on every well furnished table.
A few months ago taro was peddled
from door to door at five cents per
head; now the housewife must pay
twenty-five cents for three very small
heads.
The reason for the scarcity of this
favorite Hawaiian vegetable is easily
found. few years ago the low lands
all around the city were covered with
taro patches, where now waving fields
OF rice and bananas are found. The
land has all been sold by the original
owners to people who have leased OF
sold to the Chinese. There is greater
profit in rice than in taro, and so rice
is grown. 1t is SO all along the line
OF railroad, and not only on this Is
land alone, but on all the others.
There is not nearly enough taro now
grown on Oahu to supply the demand
in this city, and hundreds of bags are
shlpped in here weekly in conse-

in the company of the speediest i'm

The two-mile amateur handicap was
in two heats. The handicapping was
eonscientiously done and with experl,
ence the Handicapped will learn that
no matter how good a scartch man is
he cannot ride unpaced and beat four
men who start in a bunch and ex-
change pace. Damon did good work in
the first heat but his efforts were
futile. Gilman won in a clever squirt
from little Giles with Jeffy Higgins
third. In the second heat. II. Giles the
scratch man did not have to deal with
such a strong lot of long mark men
and caught them on the second lap
hanging on to the bunch which after
the first mile crawled along. H. Giles
won with King and Sousa in the order
named.
Jones and Terrill on scartch with the
others fifty yards away was the order
in the professional two mile handi-
capped. There were two scores to set
tie in this race, the scartch men hav-
ing locked handlebars in many a hard
fought race in California and Martin
and Manoa having it in for each
other" this long time. The pace was
too hot for Terrill and after the first
lap he dropped out. The others bunch
ed and amid the jeers of the crowd
crawled around the track for ways
and then Manoa started to liven things
up by jumping. He did this success
fully and was never headed. Whit
man was the only one who could hang
on to him and came second with Syi-
vester third, way in the rear. Jones
and Martin did not finish
The final of the two-mile amateur
handicap was a race for blood and
Henry Giles had to deal with the hard
pluggers who had made it too hot for
the Damon boy. Giles was fortunate
in getting a fine start and had his
men in the first circle of the track.
Sousa made the pace for the first two
laps and was then succeeded by H.
Giles who piloted the riders for the
next two laps. Tom King was then
elected to take the place and went to
the pole on the bell lap the spill
then occurred. Henry Giles won with
Sousa second and Jeffy Higgins third
The boys race was won by Frank
Bachelor, a promising youngster of
sixteen summers.
Fred. Damon essayed to lower the
Island amateur record for a third of
mile and succeeded in negotiating
the distance in 40 seconds, beating the
former record made by Arthur Giles
by two-fifths of a second.

There was a small crowd at Cyclic
mere, Saturday night. The races were
interesting and those who watched
them were interested from first to last
and at times quite enthusiastic. Col.
VIM. Cornwell's box party had a fine
time Mr.. Desky had as guests in his
few other friends.
Racing had features and incidents.
Before the real fun began Terrill had
a bad fall on the track, marked him
self a little and damaged his machine.
Manoa was riding in superb form and
took two firsts. One or two of the
professionals undertook some maneuv-
ering that was not liked at all by the
audience. Whitman did some hard
plugging and terrific sprinting. Mar
tin was not at his best He did much
more than his share of pacing in both
professional events. In the half mile
he was pocketed and in the two mile
race seemed to become tired. Jeffy
Higgins was complimented on his good
racing. Damon had been up till after
midnight in the postoffice, Friday night
and was scarcely fit for all there is in
him. BILLY" CornwelI will soon be
with the topnotch amateurs. Henry
Giles is back in form again and will
give Damon some hard work now
The spill in the final of the twO-mile
amateur race was a bad one. King
and little Giles were almost side by
side at the last turn They began the
squirt together and one sWerving out
and the other in, made a nasty COLI

in a few minutes. but King had to be
carried to his quarters Gilman was
also hurt. All the boys were able to
be about yesterday but carried bruises
that will require considerable nursing.
The track was well lighted. These
were the races:

good race and the referee decided to
let it stand notwithstanding it was
over the limit.
The professionals made their first
appearance in a half mile dash. Again
the time limit was placed and what
started to be a loaf was livened up by
Martin who made the going for the
first sixth. After the tape was passed
the first time, a bunch formed with
Martin in a pocket which he was not
able to get out of. On the backstretch
Manoa went to the front followed by
Terrill, and Jones came around the
bunch hooked on to the rear wheel of
the new arrival. They finished in the
order named. 1t was a good race and

PRIZE FIGHTS.
Lightweight Contest - 1t Lasted
Eleven Rounds.

There was a prize fight in building
on the water front Saturday night.
All the regular officials were appointed
and acted. The fight was for purse
and besides, there was personal
grudge between the men. Both are
skilled boxers and not averse to hard
hitting. The end came in the 18th
round. 1t is said the man who was
beaten was the cleverer. The other
chap was a hard hitter.
Bob Smith, the Australia fighter,
who was here about five months ago,
had match before he left town This
fact is not generally known. It was
established that Bob" was what the
sports call false alarm" He was

THE GRAY SQUIRREL.
What q WeII-Known Naturalist
Knows About the Habits of the
Pretty Little Creature.

Mr.. Ernest Ingersoll, in his recent
book, "Wild Neighbours" has many
pretty things to say about gray SOUR
rels. They are more or less common
throughout North America east Of the
great plains, being well adapted, as it
seems, to all kinds of weather. OF their
hardihood Mr.. Ingersoll says: "They
endure the semi-arctic climate north
of Lake Superior, remain all the year
on the peaks of the Adirondacks, where
their only food is the seed of the black
spruce, and appear in midwinter in
Manitoba" The most striking out
ward feature of the gray squirrel is its
tail. From this feature the creature de-
rives its scientific name Sciurus, which
means "a creature which sits under the
shadow of its TAIL"
In some parts of the south, according
to Mr.. Ingersoll, the name "shade-tail"
Is in common use, and he ventures to
