The Hawaiian Market for California Horses
Active..-Many Buyers Now
on Coast.

The following clippings are from the
Breeder and Sportsman of August 4th:
The Hawaiian market for California
horses and cattle is active at the present
time, at least half dozen buyers from
there being now in San Francisco. Mr..
Sohuman, the weIl-known dealer of Ho-
nolulu, few days since purchased 100
head of mules from o. A. Lowe and NJ.
Digs of Woodland. which have already
been shipped to the Islands, where they
will be used on the sugar plantations. We
understand the price paid was in the
lneighborhood of $50 per head. Mr.. f. w.
Carter of Honolulu is another buyer who
is in San Francisco at present. He will
secure here, If possible, about twenty
head of full-blood Holsten cattle and the
same number of Durhams. He may take
well-bred stallion or two with him to
bi eed carriage horses from, and thinks
strongly of securing one of the Hackney
breed If he can find a suitable individual.

THE CRICKET GAME
IS AGAIN DELAYED
Honolulu and Davies Elevens Fail Again
To Make Match for This
Afternoon.

The much postponed game between the
Honolulu Cricket Club and Theo. Davies
& Co. has once again been held over. This
by official count is the ninth postpone
he line of historic delays.
Yesterday afternoon the teams were
picked and the game seemed assured, but
at the last moment Davies team decided
that the present hot weather was I'M
healthy to play cricket in and that it
would be cooler on the other side of the
island. The following were chosen to rep

feathered host disappeared over the edge
of the crater, I gazed on the scene of bat

or two others stopped just in time to

TO HAVE RACE TRACK
Permission Given to Honolulu Horse
Lovers To Use KapioIani
Park.

A meeting of the Kapiolani Park Com
missioners was held yesterday afternoon
in the office of L. A. Thurston.
The object of the meeting was to act
on the application OF the Honolulu Driv-
ing Association to be permitted to use the
rGce track for the purpose of bringing off
races under the Associations auspices.
The following were present: Cecil
Brown, chairman; L. a. Thurston, secre-
tary, and a. Cunha.
The application was read and Mr.
Brown moved that the request be granted
on the conditions that the association be
responsible for any damage to fences or
buildings and that the association keep
them in repair during the entire time they
are In occupation of the track.
4 The Park Commissioners reserve the
right to revoke the permit granted at
any time they may think fit.
The opinion of the meeting was that II
would be a good thing to let the associa-
ton have the use of the track, as its
members were In duty bound to keep 1t In
good condition throughout the year.
Below is copy of the application an6

A few DAYS before I had ridden out to
Diamond Head. a picturesque and long
