Providence made the utmost of the
sleighing yesterday. A good many of
her horsemen had begun TO fear that
this would be practically n snowless
winter but Reservoir avenue, Broad
street, Blackstone boulevard and many
other streets were quite lively, and.
considering the circumstances. the
sport was pretty good. The boys and
girls also had a heap OF fun with their
skates and could enjoy themselves
upon almost any sidewalk In the city.

"SOCKER
PROSPECTS
First Gun Sounded
on Saturday
Night.

A general meeting of the Hawaiian AS
ISOLATION Football League was held.
by the courtesy OF the Scottish Thistle
Cub In their rooms on Saturday even
ing last. The meeting was an importan:
one, and a large number of prominen,
players attended, including Messrs. r.
Anderson, B. Hawley, BIackman. Cock
burn, Cummings, Goudie, Kay. Soper
Sinclair. Stokes. Munroe, McGn, Guild,
Fenwick, Puanaia, and Steers.
The chair was taken by l.. c. Black
man, and after the reading of the min
utes, Mr. Cockburn reported that the

and purchase challenge trophy had the
necessary funds in hand or promised, and
that the trophy, consisting of hand
some silver cup, would be procured by
Mr.. W. L. Hawley in San Francisco and
arrive during the course of next week.
Mr.. Cockburn's report was accepted
and a vote of thanks awarded the COM
mittee.
The president. in introducing the chief
business of the meeting, said that the
season of last year had shown that a
radical change was necessary in the or
ganization OF the respective football
teams, as the national qualification
had produced one team of overwhelming
strength, which preciuded Its less fortu-
nate rivals competing with it with any
possibility of success. He advocated
dissolution of the old clubs and the for
nation of new ones
Mr.. Bo Howty, In supporting the promo
sition, proposed that the League should
select four prominent players to act as
captains of the prospective clubs and to
form committee to divide the Asso-
citation players into four clubs of equal
merit.
After considerable discussion, the mo-
ton was put to the vote, and although
an excellent one, was lost by the narrow
margin of one vote.
Mr.. Soper then proposed that COM
mittee of four be appointed. of whom
Mr. Morse should be one. to discuss the
best means Of forming new clubs and to
advise the League of its decision at the
next meeting, TO take place on Monday.
October 18th.
Mr.. Soper's motion was adopted. anG
the following committee was selected:
Messrs. Morse. Anderson, Goudie and
Soper. Mr.. Blackman was elected an
ex officio member of the committee
Messrs Anderson, Soper and Fenwick
were appointed to advise the next meet
ing as to the most suitable memenio
which the League could award to the
individual members of the championship
team.
After some discussion as to an availa-
Bile ground by Mr.. Cummings, the meet
ing adjourned till Oct 18th

Football Is a matter of sport, and
not of life and death, and one of the
chief benefits of sport is that it teach
es a man to keep his temper. If a man
knows himself to be unamenable to It's
influences of chivalry and self-control,
the sooner he relegates himself to the
sidelines the better it will be for the
credit of clean sport.
The HackfeId team put up much
better game than when they played
the Male Ilimas. The Athletics pos
sess the makings of a good team, but
need Intelligent practice and careful
coaching They have the weight and
if they can develop corresponding

a goodly balance OF games won.
In an interview with reporter last
night Captain Morse, OF the Hackfeld
team, said:
THE actions of two of the H. A G..
players were regrettable, but there is
no i1l-feeling between the TWO teams
With two exceptions, the H. A. C.'s

friends with our men. The game was
only a practice one. and it was our
privilege to quit when we liked. We
shall decide tomorrow whether we shall

1t seems that when MIR. O l.
Potts was going through the
quarter on his way to his
brothers. house on factory hill,
he came upon two persons about
the piazza of the mil office, tn
whom, supposing they were boys,
he addressed some remarks and
was cursed in response bv a ne
gro man. He then saw that the
other WAS woman and passed on
without further words. As he
came back through the quarter he
met the same persons and the
man under the influence of whis
key cursed and again and accused
MIR. Potts of following him. At
tho same time the negro drew a
pistol and snapped at him. Mr..
Potts immediately opened fire and
shot twice, the last ball taking
effect in the head, and causing the
negro to fall to the ground. Po.
liceman johnson, who lives near
this neighborhood was soon on
tho scene, as were a small size
crowd of hoys and men. Upon
examination it was found that the
negro was Will Stevenson, car
riage driver about town. MIR.

sheriff and is now in Jail. Stew
