A BISHOP SCORES THE PRESIDENT

President Davis: Before Jefferson
Davis took his place among archtrai-

honesty be should add treachery to the
public. The moral difference between
Benedict Arnold. on the one hand, and
Aaron Burr and Jefferson Davis, on
the other, was the difference between
ap0lltlcian who sells his vote for money
and one who supports a bad measure
to get high political position
when Mr.. Davis was living and
prisoner fellow named Miles placed
shackles on him in prison, though there
was no necessity for it, and no one but
brute would have done it. But l
have never heard that Miles, after Mr..
Davis's death. brutally maligned his
character-that species of envenomed
malice was reserved for the recreant
son OF Southern woman, the Rough
Rider OF Republican politics, the acct

MAUI RACES
PROMISE WELL

IIorsemen are once more getting
ready for a meet this time the races
being scheduled for the Maui track at
Kahului. The events will come on on
Tuesday. August 18th. and there seems
every reason 70 believe that there VIII
be a good meeting and some fast go
ing, There are now in the stables at
the track there some Of the very best
horses in the Territory. as the Hilo ami
mails have been sent up by Mckenzie.
The flyers from this city will go down
the first OF the week.
Among the horses which are expect
ed to make the trip from here are
Mollie Connors, Amarino. Rosaola'
Black Ress. Sambo ana perhaps some
OF the other Hawaiian bred animals
Among the horsemen who viii make
the trip will be Ballentine, Lucas,
Davis, the Jockeys, Piggott ana
Thomas, and a number Of others who
expect to see some fine going. The
most of the visitors will get away in
the Mauna Loa although there Is a
chance that there may be something
done in the matter Of having special
trip made by some steamer, which viii
enable the men to leave the city the
first OF the week and get back within
four days after their departure.
This meeting Of the Maui Jockey
Club will be made a notable one ana
the purses are such as 10 give the
horsemen a chance 10 get even in the
matter of expenses. while the character
OF the horses 70 be entered viii insure
some rapid speculation. The best ones
of the Mckenzie string are to take part
and this will be the last appearance
Of the animals until before their being
sent to the Coast. where such old tim
ers as Socialist and others will be sent
during the winter racing on the Cali
fornia tracks.
There are not many horses on Maui
which can be expected 70 compete with
the cracks of the visitors, but the out
look is for some fast going when Null
lah and Connors meet, while the race
between Sambo and Wayboy should be
as fast as any Of their previous per-
fornances, as the track Is said 20 be h
fine shape.

POLO PLAYERS
IN FORM FOR
PLAY.

Polo will take it's first brace for the
season at Kapiolani Park on Saturday.
August 10th. This date for the open
Ing has been chosen, and the pre-
liminaries have been carefully looked
after during the past week.
Owing to the absence of Captain Dill
bingham, who left for the Coast recent
ly, it has been found necessary 20 APP
point a new captain TO act until his
return. Albert F. Judd. one Of the
most careful of the players of the club
will serve in this capacity. and under
his direction II is certain that the game
will be as fast and as hard as IT has
been during past seasons.
There has been some work done I'm
the matter OF fixing up the grounds
and this will continue until there has
been made a field for play which VIII

there viii be some filling done where

BY Robert Fitzsimmons, ex-Cham-
pion Heavyweight Pugilist of the
World:
Though my original intentions when
starting training were to remain at
Skaggs Springs until finishing work
for the fight, from todays experience
1 am convinced that the change to this
city was a good move. 1 never fully
realized the difference in climate until
taking my run in Golden Gate Park
this morning. While this feature may
not count for. much / think that to be
settled close to the scene of contest
Dreciudes all chance of any mishap
from 2 change at the. last moment.
The facilities for continuing my work
III this city could not be better due
mainly to the kindness of the Olympic
Club people.
TO my friends / would like to say
that I am in perfect physical condition
for the impending contest and that IT
/ do not succeed in winning the cham
pionship. BIT Will not be because of Bob
Fitzsimmons' failure to have done his
level best.
1t is true that Jeffries has a big ad-
vantage in weight, but L also have ad-
vantages over him that will more than
offset the difference.
Were the mere size of opponents suf-
ficient TO win battles / would have been
beaten in a very big majority Of the
hundreds of contests Of which / have
lost only one.
