RACE BETWEEN DIRECTRESS AND
MARGARET H.. TOMORROW.
Horsemen Want Two Days of June
Meet-Irish Lassie and Violin-Hand
Ball. Baseball and Cricket.

The match race between VIM. Nor
tons Directress and Tom Hollinger's
Margeret H., at kapiolani park track,
at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, will
be the leading sporting event of the
week. Theo. hoffman,, Seeley l..
Shaw and third man to be chosen
later, will likely be the judges. The
race has been made best three i'll five,
mile heats. Today Directress seems
to be the favorte of the largest num-
Der, though Margaret H. has many
strong friends. Undoubtedly the race
will be close and exciting.
Horse owners are urging the Jock
ey club to have the June meet extend
over two days. for the principal rea-
son that it now appears that all of
the events cannot possibly be put on
in the eight hours allotted. There
will be thirtytwo horses in the meet.
Heretofore the number has ranged
from sixteen to twenty June 11th
falls on Saturday. The horsemcn
wish the races to begin on the pre-
ceding Friday afternoon. and assert
that in no other way can the meet be
made a success.
1t is a fact that some of the sports
have sent to the coast for prize win
ner for the mule race on June 11th.
The order went forward by the Dorc.
1t is stated that the. mule, whose
name is withheld, has taken money
prizes on the Coast.
The match race between McCand-
less Irish Lassie and Jim Quinn's vi
olin has been definitely set for Satur-
day afternoon, May 2Sth. John Sui
livan puts in the former. Theo. Hoff-
man and Seeley Shaw are the judges
named. They will select third. IT.
ish Lassie showed Violin clean pair
| of heels in the March meet, but Quinn
ays it cannot be done again.
The second games of the hand ball
series will be played at the gymnasi-
um of the Y. NJ. c. A. this evening,
beginning at and closing at 9. All
| friends will be admitted to the gal
| leries. The teams to play are: Dia-
mond Heads, Captain Clarke; Homo
lulu, Captain Wright; Y NJ. c. A.,
| Captain Stone; Klondikers, Captain
! Fernandez.
Delegates from the three tennis
clubs of the city met at the house of
| the Pacific Tennis club yesterday af-
ternoon and decided to begin the 1898
| tournament on June 18th. Old Off
GERS of the association were re-elect-
ed. Rules were talked over, but it
was not decided whether the 1897 or
1893 regulations should govern.
| Cricketers will have another game
at Makiki at o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon. The teams are doing fine
work now. They are anXiously await
ing the arrival of British man of
war, or some other outside team, up
on which to try their skill. Commits
sioner Kenny has done much to pro-
mote cricket in Honolulu and the
teams appreciate it very much. He
has given not only his time and per-
sonal attention, but his grounds, to
promote interest in the sport.
Wilson's circus will have another
tug of war pull tomorrow evening. It
will probably be between the German
team of Haclfeld & Co. and the ma
tive team of LEVERS & Cooke. Both
are comparatively new sevens, though
the latter, by pulling over the Iron
Works team, Tuesday night, holds the
championship of the Islands at pres
ent.
There is really nothing new in the
|
olulus expect to win from the Regi-
ments tomorrow afternoon. Few 9th
ers think with them, however. Chan
ges in the former team were made
yesterday. The Regiments will make
no changes.
The military interest in rife shoot
ing is again rising on account of the
fact that the competition for bars and
also for the Marlin trophy, will take
place in June. while the shoot for the
Foreign Office trophy will come of
early in July. Company II is practic-
ing a team to enter all of these con.
tests.
The Myrtles have chip on their
shoulder for July 4th. 1t is more than
probable that the Healanis will not
let it stay there.
A party of young men are organic
ing for a goat shooting expedition or
Waianae mountains. They will leave
tomorrow and return Sunday
