ing in carriages around the gridiron.
THE sympathies of the various specta-
tors were expressed by the flowers they
wore.
The day was a fine one for the game
and the grounds were in the pink of
condition. It was trifle warm but the
players did not notice that after they
got into the game. The touch lines were
marked by a number of wooden poles,
on the tops Of which were small Hawai-
ian flags.
