ARRANGEMENTS are complete for the
athletic exhibition which will mark the
evening of Kamehameha Day. The
Honolulu Athletic Club will offer to the
large section OF the public which will
visit the opera house a program which
will introduce so many phases OF sport
that there will be no difficulty in being
pleased.
The main event OF course will be the
boxing match, which viii occupy the
last three-quarters OF an hour OF the
evening. Coming on at 10 o'clock will
be the main event OF the evening. the
Io-round contest between Lon Agnew
and Jack Weday. This promises to be
an event OF some interest, owing to the
fact that both men have trained stead
lily and carefully and seem TO be in good
condition. They are TO weigh in at the
ringside tomorrow night at 1S5 pounds
and they both claimed last evening to
be within the limit and to be ready for
the contest.
THE two appeared at the meeting last
evening and consulted concerning the
final arrangements. They looked well,
Weday seemingly 10 pounds the better
in the weights. Agnew Is perhaps clos
er to AS than the ring weight, but that
ia about the weight at which he is best.
He has heretofore showed his speed
when light. but has something up his
sleeve even a little heavier. Weday
SAYS he feels fit and his appearance
and color give proof of his words. he
| is not as fast as he has been and 1t is
upon this that the Agnew people seem
| to depend for the success of their man.
| despite the weights. Agnew does not
seem as good as he has heretofore Deen,
his color indicating little overtrain-
| ing. but he is man to have high color
/ at any time.
| The men acouiesced when the COM
mittee announced that there was to be
nothing but boxing. the points to count
| and the heavy hitting to be cut out.
/ Despite this there promises TO be some
/ mix-ups which will make the event
/ we'll worth seeing. There Is practically
no betting. though a little money has
gone at $50 to $40. with Agnew the long
/ end.

hours OF the evening, and they promise
