get practice in preparation for the man
oeuvres in the game OF war which is soon
to be played with the navy. Residents OF
the island who were awakened early to-
day by the booming of the cannon within
the fort, found that the shots were aimed
at moving target .owed by tug far
out toward the hrozon's edge
The target was barely discerfble with
the naked eye as a speck In the distance.
With the aid OF a glass. II could be seen
however. that all the shots were fairly
well placed and at least a dozen are
thought to have hit the mark fairly. The
target was badly battered when the order
TO cease firing was given.
Major General Macarthur and members
OF his stae who have inspected the artil-
lery practice here are said TO have been
well pleased with the showing made by
the gunners.
An automobile for use In the manoeu-
vres by signal corps men was brought
TO the islaid today. and landed at the
government wharf at the reservation.

PROTEST NOT ALLOWED

Eugene Duvauchelle received recent
ly the following letter from Maui re-
lating to the protest which he entered
against a certain decision in the recent
Wailuku horse races:
At a recent meeting OF the executive
committee Of the Maui Racing Asso-
citation your protest, which you fully
described and left with the secretary,
was brought before the committee and
argued at considerable length.
While the committee was in full
sympathy with the owner OF the horse,
being satisfied that he (the owner) is
honest. yet they could not go against
the rules. one of which reads as fol-
lows:
Section .. NO horse shall impede
the progress Of another horse in the
race. under penalty Of being set back
TO last position. The judges may also
impose a fine not exceeding 800 on the
rider" You will observe that the
judges acted in accordance with the
rules. and the committee could only
uphold the judges decision, which they
did.
Yours respectfully,
d. l.. MEYER.
