LAST RAGE DAY.
Saturdays Events at the Kapiolani
Park Race Track.

The crowd was not as large as
Oh Kamehameha Day at the race
track Saturday afternoon, but 1900
people enjoyed themselves to their
hearts content nevertheless. The
grand stand was not overcrowded
though comfortably filed and a
good portion OF the spectators
viewed the events from the inield
10 carriages. Bsttiug was lively
aud the ladies also wsgered sums in
proportion to their means or the
means of their husbands, brothers
or sweethearts.
The sport was marred by the
withdrawal OF Cyclone on account
OF having burst blood vessel
There was danger Of an accident
through loss Of blood or straining

been the event OF the day was not
run as Weller was scratched out and
Nullah withdrawn. The weights
for the race we're changed by the
executive committee before the race
and without the knowledge OF the

against making the run that Weller
was found to be lame aud 80 was

The employment OF Hawaiians
by the Rapid Transit Co. seems to
be more Of farce than a reality.
On our way out to the races on
Saturday afternoon, we failed to
see more than about tw; nty of

extension. There might have been
more, but we did not see them. We
saw more South Sea Islanders
than Hawaiians, more Asiatics than
Hawaiians, and more Portuguese
than the first two put together.

Lately the Morning Glory has
been blubbering because numbers
OF Japanese laborers have been in
duced by better pay to leave here
for California orchards and vine
yards, but it has nothing to say Of
whites and natives who are here

Japanese are leaving US to better

elsewhere, but we are when good
and capable mechanics leave US.
II Japanese are kept as laborers in
the field, we have no kick coming,

the village Of Florence the original
'Stringtown-on-the-P Pike" quainter spot

could not have created. 1t is practically a
town of one street and is strung out in an
irregular, rambling way for more than
half mile along the white pike that
stretches away in either direction as
straight as the string of a bow The houses
belong to that style of architecture which
was old when our fathers were Young and
the ancient trees that adorn the spacious
Ssrdens TEND to accentuate the impression
OF age that everywhere pervades the

village as of long ago, and inhabited by the
same sort OF people, who. so far as an
pearance and characteristics are concern

Our public schools stand as high as any

well and completely done. By law children
between the ages of seven and fourteen
years are compelled to attend school daily
1t Is possible, therefore. to lay here foun-

life, to create a widespread interest in all
that concerns the construction and decora-

His Last "Pape."

One afternoon, about ten days ago. a
squat. fresh-faced. merry-eyed broth of a
lad, about eighteen years old. roughly but
comfortably dressed, stepped off one of the
city boats at the foot of 2Stn street. East
river.
Well he said to the cop who was
standing at the gangway. 1--WE sold me last
pape. This is me last day on me route.
I've sold out, an it's all off,"
There was good deal of a story Of nerve
and hard work and faithfulness and pluck
and some other things behind that BOYS
casual remark.
Ten years ago, when he was eight years
old-he had already been selling newspapers
on the streets for four years-that boy got
permission to peddle newspapers in Bellevue
Hospital and around on the various islands
in the East rfver-BlackwelFs, Wards,
Ran6alfs, and on-on which the tity's
prisoners. insane. paupers and other charges
are confined. The tad OF an eight-year-eid
urch.n was SO spry and civil and unfailing
in his attention to his business of paper
distributing that he was given monopoly
of the trade that he had discovered and de-
veloped. Day in and day out, year in and
year out. storm or shine, hot or cold Sun
day and holiday. never taking a vacation,
the youngster stuck to his little business.
He took care of his mother and two younger
children. He passed up the craps shooting
He kept accounts with the prisoners, and
the paupers, and the insane people. He
gave them proper c>idit and exacted pay
ment when he thought payment was about
due for his nexscEpeAA He ran his little
