N EvoTEEs Of every kind of sport
I'D will have an opportunity to show
~ their appreciation of the object
of the Mckinley Memorial Fund. for
the men who have been contributing
10 the games of the past will play their
best during the coming month, for the
purpose of adding to the amount which
will be expended in a public play
ground.
The first step in the making of
comprehensive program of sports was
taken up at a special meeting of the
Oahu Polo Association, held over the
Bethel street office of Bishop & Com
paHy, yesterday afternoon. There was
a large .atttndance of polo men, and
the president of the association, Mr.. 5.
T. Damon presided. The discussion
of the plans for the assistance in the
matter of the fund for the proposed
memorial to the late President Mckin-
ley was made the most prominent of
the matters of business.
After much talking it was decided
that on some day during the month of
March there shall be played game
of polo between the two best matched
teams of the Association, for the bene-
fit of the fund. It is likely that the
game will be played at Kapiolani
Park, as the field is in the best shaSS
and the teams. which will be chosen
by Capt. w. F. Dillingham; and Charles
= Dole, will be the best able to give
exhibition of the game. IL Is be-
lieved that Governor Dole Will send
the band for the occasion and il will
be made a society affair in fact.
The plan for the aiding of the fund
by the men interested in sports con-
templates a series of games of all kinds
for the object. The probable order in
which the events will occur is: Polo, |
Association football. baseball and col |
legiate football. 1t is the expressed in |
tentiOn to have the Association football !
on .be Makiki grounds. the baseball |
and the collegiate football at Punahou. |
While there are no clubs in the latter !
branch of sport in training now, it is /
believed that there will be no difficulty /
in getting together men who will be
able to put up contests which will be
full of interest.
In addition to the sports mentioned,
there IS plan under discussion for the
men of the boat clubs to show their in
terest in the fund and the playground
by giving a day OF aquatic sports. This
OF all kinds and swimming and diving
contests in the Waikiki end of the har-
Dor, where there could be gathered a
great crowd. the two clubs keeping open
house. with a small fee. and the privi-
lege Of charging a small sum for admis-
tion to benches on the quarantine wharf.
being granted to the promoters of the
day Should this plan be followed the
whole would constitute n carnival of
ports which would make very full
