RIDING.

Kauai won at polo from the Hilo
team yesterday afternoon on the field
at Kapiolani park, the score being is
to ~. There were in attendance at |
least two thousand people. the fences
about the field and the track itself be-
ing lined with people In carriages or |
on horseback. The pedestrians were |
confined for the most part to benches |
near the press stand.
II was expected that Kauai would |
win the match but the Hilo men put up |
very much better game than they did
on the occasion of the struggle against
the Oahuans. They seemed to have
much more confidence and their play
was much more certain. However, the
great trouble with the men from the
Crescent City was that they lacked the
eye possessed by the Kauai players.
Frequently they had chances to make
goals but missed the ball completely at
critical points. Had they been able to
find the ball, the score would have been
much closer. Indeed. the story might
have been different altogether.
For the Hilo men. Prouty did by far
the best work, although he was well
backed up by the other members OF MS
team. HIS drives were the cIeanest
and he made the biggest gains. With
little more practice, the Hilo men
will prove formidable antagonists for
the best team that can be secured IN
the ISLANDS.
The kauaians were the ones VINO got
the most applause from the crowd ana
indeed, they deserved IL. Their rlding
was clean and clever ana their manu-
ling OF the ball showed that their eyes
were all right. The Melina Brothers
did the finest riding but the Rice
Brothers did the most expert playing.
game between the kauaians and
Mauites would prove very interesting
spectacle indeed.
IL must be said to the credit OF the
Hawaii men that although they knew
they were beaten, there was not sim
gle stage during the game that they
did not play with grit and determine
ton. In the fourth period when the
kauaians had piled up the score to
something over fifteen, they played
all the harder.
