.SCOTCHMEN TO !. q,
E HELP ATHLETICS
Will Form an Association To-
night at Thi.tl Club.
Rooms

A preliminary meeting Of Scotchmen
interested in football was held for the
purpose of forming an Association
Football Club, but after some discus
sion il was unanimously agreed to
form instead an association to promote
and foster interest in athletics general
Iy, especially association football,
cricket, golf, tennis, etc.
The association will not interfere
with any existing or prospective clubs
but will on the contrary rather en-
courage its members to connect them
selves with such clubs. There is at
present a healthy interest being taken
in such games which heretofore have
been almost unknown in Honolulu and
1t Is with the object of organizing such
talent as may be possessed by the
Scotchmen of Hawaii mel that the As
ISOLATION has been formed. Owing to
the insular situation the greatest
drawback to the progress Of athletics
in Hawaii is OF course the want of OPP
position and it is expected that in sew
eral departments of sport the Scottish
Amateur Athletic Association of Ha-
wall will be able to furnish respectable
teams to represent the Thistle.
A meeting of all those eligible to join
the association is called for tonight, at
half past seven, in the Scottish Thistle
Club rooms. when the office bearers
will be appointed and set of rules of
which a draft has been prepared by a
committee will be placed before the
meeting for revisal and adoption. The
same qualifications are necessary for
eligibility as for the Scottish Thistle
Club.

might he could not make the people

binations Of capital through a Consti-
tutional amendment.
The fact which gives the people the
most encouragement Is that the coun.
try Is going to have four years more
of settled financial and commercial
conditions-four years more of the full
dinner pail. That means much to ev-
cry man, woman and child in the Unior
and as much to the people Of Hawai-
az to those OF any part OF our common
country.
