ATHLETIC GROUND.

There probably is not another piece
of ground within a mile OF the center
of the city like that which the Bows
Brigade has secured for athletic nur-
poses. There was considerable cnthU-
siasm Thursday night at a meeting of
two hundred of the boys of this city,
when it was assured them that in six
months time there would be first
class baseball and athletic ground right
in the heart of the city. 7 lie history
of the movement to establish mis- re-
creation ground shows tina; the Board
of Education found that they had two
and a half acres in close proximity Ia
tfeir school at Kauluwela, and that Ia
make 1t available for a 4irst-rate play
ground, large sum % money would
have to be spent. They offered 10 the
Boys Brigade this piece Of land under
certain conditions which DO not inter-
fere with it's purposes at other times
than during school hours. The Board
of Education's land, however was not
as big as was needed fo- such a pur-
pose.
Another adjacent two AMI a half
acres of the Bishop estate solved the
problem, and after a great many pre-
liminaries concerning leases, this fine
combination of land. five acres in all,
was secured for term Of years.
The conditions of the lease make 1t
necessary to put the grounds in shape,
which. OF course. the management are
only too willing to do. "'he place will
have to be thoroughly ditched. as there
has been taro and rice planted there
until very recently. Then there is per-
haps four feet difference in the grade
from the upper to the lower part.
The difficulty, as with most difficult
ties nowadays, is a mater of money.
II the Brigade had the money which
they expect to get from the fire claims
commission awards. they could handle
the thing themselves; lacking this. the
idea now is to let some other athletic
interests in with them temporarily
provided these people will help to meet
the expense 1t Is proposed II let tho
grounds out on certain days in the
week to other organizations which feel

HALF A MILLION
IN GREENBACKS

If anyone had happened to stroll into
the treasurer's Office at the capitol build
ing yesterday afternoon about O'Clock
he could have witnessed the destruction
of about a half IA million dollars in
greenbacks.
The money was part of an old issue of
Hawaiian notes under the monarchy, and
had never been in circulation. 1t was
composed entirely of fifty and one hun
dred dollar banknotes in books. and alto
sether the pile represented over half "A
million dollars. The crisp greenback.
We're placed in the cancelling machine
ana perforated so full of holes that even
plind man would not have accepted
them as legal tender. The work was
done by two clerks under the supervision
of Cashier Henry Kapai, and the clerks
were racing to see in how short "A time
they could destroy the little books which
at one time represented such a Large
amount in cold cash. They averaged
about twenty thousand dollars Il minute
There are still number of these old
Hawaiian treasury notes in circulation,
and at irregular intervals one Is present.
ed at the treasury for payment II is
to render these old notes valueless that
they were cancelled YESTERDAY, with the
same machine that is used in perforat-
ing all the old issue as they are brought
in for redemption. This money would
not have been accepted even II rendered,
as 1t did not bear the signature of the
Minister of the Interior. but to avoid the
possibility of some OF the greenbacks
finding their way out, and allowing an
opportunity for forging the signature. H.
was thought advisable to destroy them
The money would have been burned,
but as there is no authorization for such
an act. the cancellation was decided up
