been a disappointment to many persons

DETAILS
ARRANGED
Athletic Meet Will
Come Off Next
Saturday.

The Boys Brigade field day will be
held next Saturday afternoon at Ka-
piolani Park. and arrangements are now
complete for what will probably be the
greatest athletic contest ever held in
Honolulu. The following six clubs will
contest for the prize, a handsome and
expensive trophy. now on display in
Pearson & Potters window: Honolulu
Athletic Club, Male lima Athletic
Club, Punahou Athletic Club, Kameha-
meha Athletic Club, Y. NJ C. A. and
Artillery.
Princess Kawananakoa will occupy 4
| special box, which will be handsomely
decorated for the occasion, and wsl
| crown the successful contestants With
| lima leis.
| One of the features of the meet will
be the laying out of the 100-yard course
| in such manner that each competitor
will have a clear course to himself,
| marked off by tapes from the rest. This
| will prevent fouling. Each athlete will
wear a number on his back for purpos-
| es of Identification.
The standards for the high jump and
! pole vaults will be boxed for the sake
of greater reliability and facility in
| handling.
Clerk of the Course Torbert is deter
mined that each event shall be pulled
| off on time. and it is safe to say that
there will be no tedious waits between
! events. Captain Berger will be present
with the government band, and has
| promised a specially attractive pro-
gram.
The entries will be closed this even
| ing at 1880 o'clock, at the Y. NJ. c. A.
! Already some SIXTY names have been
| track athletic COD erts ever planned by
local athletes. A'full list of officers of
| the track will be published later.
Great interest is apparent in local
| sporting circles, as to which will prove
the successful team. The KaIpehame-
! has seem to be the favorites, kh the
.Punahous much favored for Efecond
place. 1t is possible that the Artillery
ard Male Ilimas may develop >unex-
pected strength. The Honolulu Ath-
letics lost some valuable men by the
postponement OF the meet from last
week. while on the other hand some
of the other clubs have strengthened
themselves somewhat in the interval.
Mrs. E. d. Tenney and Mrs. Nellie
Noonan are acting as patronesses of
the meet. Tickets can be obtained from
them or at any of the stores. From
present indications the games will draw
an even greater crowd than the polo
game of few weeks since. Tickets are
only % cents each.
