| Stokes. DR.. and Mrs. Myers, Mrs and the

Bishop Willis opened the exercises with
few remarks, In which he touched on
the broken year, caused by the recent epi-
dem.c. and the regrettable absence OF
some of lolani's brightest, sons.
Mr.. l.. G. Backman, the hoad-master
of the college, then delivered a snort ad =
dress, in which he exhorted the scholars
to be, above everything, loyal to their
college. and to exert every effort to place
the name of lOlani first among those of
Honolulu's schools, both from an educa-
ional standpoint as well as in the ath-
letic field.
AT o'clock Bishop Willis distributed

AT half-past three the bell was rung
signalling the athletic portion of the pro- |
gram. a long and interesting program
had been arranged by Mr.. l.. c. Black |
man, to whose excellent management the |
success of the affair was I'm great measure |
due. The events We're all keenly contest |
ed and the times made were very good |
considering the uneven condition of the |
ground.
Chief interest conferred I'm the contest
for the Victor Ludorum medal, which
was won by the narrow margin of one |
point by Andersen; Len Qui was second |
Their respective points in the deciding |
events were as follows:
Andersen-High jump, 8; putting the
shot, 2; 100 yards, 3; $50 yards, 3. Total,
Len Qui-Hlgh jump 2; putting the shot.
J; 100 yards, /; $50 yards, 2 pole vault, ..
Total, 1G.
Three points were given for first place,
wo FOR second, and one for third.
1t VII be seen that Len Qui competed
n one more event than Andersen, viz, |
he pole vault, which fact rather detracts
rom the merit of his close second.
In Andersen and Len l1ui loan Col
eye possesses two athletes who should
epresent her creditably in the approach
ng fall games of the combined local ath-
etic and educational institutions
The officials We're as follows:
Judges-Rev. V. II. Kitcat, X. A. Jordan
nd j. Stokes. Handicapped and Tine
,eeper-H. NJ. Ayres. Starter-F. S.
