King Edward VII lodged in Windsor
Castle and the scullion that washed
the dishes there also. He questioned
whether their positions were the same.
The same could be said of persons con-
fined in Oahu prison for various Of
lenses. 1t would be cruel thing, he
said, for a woman prisoner to have her
hair cropped from her head and it
mans queue to be snorn from his scalp,
yet he did not think it was a cruel and
unjust punishment for a man to have
his head close shaver or cropped more
than usual. He cited himself as in
stance where he did not think he would
be particularly disgraced if he was in
the prison and had what little hair he
had left on his head to be cut off
closely.

that he had expected the Attorney
General to train 16-inch gun on him

so much as pulled a pop-gun on me.

JOCKEY CONNOLLY
Is IN HONOLULU
Wants to Promote the Inter-
ests of Horse Racing in
the Islands.

Jesse Connolly, better known as Long
Shot" Connolly, is in town. He states
that he came here recently from New
York with the intention of looking into
local racing matters with the view OF
bringing some horses down here.
Connolly has ridden for the late Mar
Gus DAILY, George NJ. Bennett and other
prominent owners For George NJ. Ben.
nett he rode the famous mare Imp to vic
tory
Connolly became suddenly known to
fame by the regularity with which he
plotted long shots to the front; In fact.
at one time he had regular habit OF
rolling in on 20. 80 and 4o-to-1 chances.
which caused his name to become
household word among race-goers.
He soon had quite following among
/. the talent, who did not bother VITA the
I form of the horse he rode, but simply
played him. If Connolly was on a horse
! it was enough for them, even If his
mount had only three legs.
| He was at the zenith of his fame abou-
four years ago, although he rode many
winners much later than this. He sud-
denly disappeared from the race tracks
and it was said that he had enlisted for
Manila. His action on horse is start
ling and unique, and in position he out
crouches Tod Sloan. He is, however. a
good jockey and great judge of pace,
riding distance race as it should be
ridden.
Connolly comes here at All opportune
time. Local racing languishes for want
of honest, capable jockeys. If an owner
wants to match his horse, it is his own
jockey he has to fear, as much or more
! than his equine opponent. If Connolly
wants to ride here and ride straight he
will find Hawaii a paying proposition
/ during June and July.
/ A movement is on foot to form a rival
athletic club to the Male Ilimas. The
idea is that with three or four clubs
formed, local athletics would be
much stimulated by competition which
would naturally result. If the new club
lis formed it will meet the Male Ilimas
half way in proposition for purchas-
ing grounds for a baseball park, track
tennis courts, etc.

THE OLD COUNTRY BAND.

mean the band of olden time, when
you and / were boys:
When music, to be sweet to us. must
drown all other noise.
When martial airs entranced our ears.
and every feeling fired;
When uniforms with golden braid
were all our hears desired.
Oh. how those fellows marched about
on every holiday!
The Square" was filled with music
sweet, the streets with bright ar
ray.
The town folks stood upon their steps,
the country folks. discreet,
With horses prancing to the tunes.
drove up some other street.
The boys? Well. you can easy guess
we shall not try to hide it.
Whenever that old band was out, we
fellows marched beside it.
We kept the step the bandmen did,
and kept it quite as well.
And always held our corner up when
it was time to yell.
Perhaps they made some discords-
perhaps the side horns blew.
About three times as strong and loud
as they by right should do;
Perhaps the cymbals didn't clang ex-
actly with the base,
Perhaps the sB-flats" missed some
notes and footed out of place.
But what cared we when We were
boys?-to our uncultured breast
The Girl l Left Behind Me" was as
good as Sousa's best;
Our little backs would straighten up.
our thoughts would soar away
The acme of our earthly bliss-to play
horn some day.
I've heard full many bands since then,
and paid to get seat;
I've heard them play their loudest airs
and softly, sadly sweet:
But never has my being thrilled with
rapture more complete
Than when heard old Strasburg
Band go marching down the
street.

THE SAILORS HOME.

Better intentions were never put
into concrete form for a benevolen;
purpose than in the establishing OF a
sailors home in Honolulu by the pub
lic-spirIted and fg-hearted men IT
affairs OF a former generation Yet
for many years. at diuerent periods,
the institution was maintained IN a
manner far from ideal During great
proportion OF the time OF its exis-
tence. the management was farmed
out as a sort of free-for-all lodging
house This was the case with the
ungainly structure that stood at Mer-
chant and Bethel streets until after
the Chinatown fire OF 1886. which was
razed shortly after that event because
il had shown Itself therein as a
menace to property on all sides.
Then. when the present brick struc-
ture on the explanade was opened. for
some years il was allowed to deserve
the reputation OF lodging house for
aIl-comers combined with a poor
grade restaurant conducted by a Chi
naman-the latter having the invidi-
Gus privilege. from the name OF the
place, of exemption from the license
fee that private caterers had to paw.
II must be gratifying then. in view of
the foregoing record. that the Homo
lulu Sailors Home has now been re-
stored to it's true functions ard pur-
poses. with every probability that it
will not again lapse into a discredit
to the port The state of its finances,
al the same time. is improving and
TIE benevolent people of the commu-
nifty may be expected. since the insti-
tuition has again become a deserving
one. to clear OF the incubus of old
debt When that is done the Home
should continue to pay its own way
as. happily. II has begun TO do. The
sailors will like II all the better IL they
know that their patronage is its ex-
elusive support No more than any
other rightly-constituted wage-earn-
ers do the hardy mariners relish be-
ing benefciaries of a charitable estab-
iishment.
