had the ball right down in front of
the goal but the big bell in the judges
stand ended the closest and best game
of polo ever seen here.
Luncheon was served for the polo
players and party by the Spaldings, at
and the best of good fellowship.
The lunch being over the party re-
turned to the track where the races
were about to begin. The Japs and
Portuguese We're already warming up
their horses and the hackers were max
ing their wagers in their own peculiar
fashion. r. P. Spalding was starter.
Col. q. S. Spalding and w. II. Rice,
Jr., were judges.
AS the races were mostly for blood"
they were close and interesting. There
were polo pony events as we'll, Angus
winning with Lightfoot in a quarter
and being beaten by Coronation in the
mile Good Luck bested Gardenia at a
mile as well.
Alter lHe races A4iS OdiAO LicL were
driven back to Lihue to Chas. Rice's,
where a fine swim was INDUCED in
and an appetizing supper awaited them
before taking the steamer Mikahala at
Z D. m. for Honolulu.
The Oahu men and the party which
accompanied them are loud in their ap-
probation for Arthur and Charles
Rice and the Spaldings for the unquali-
fed success of the whole trip.
The teams were:
Oahu-Geo. Angus, No. 1; S. E. Da-

WINS BY HARD WORK.

For the last period Oahu went in
with a rush and soon made good, for
in two minutes of play Damon had
scored a goal at the makai end, being
the only one made at that goal as it
happened. This made the score 4 to
"a, and still a chance for Kauai Oahu
however began to show signs to su-
perior teamwork. that had not been
so evident before, and soon had the
ball at Kauafs goal again only to miss
the try for the posts.
Dole, Angus and Damon all had a rap
at the ball after a throw in at the CEN
ter and had it down we'll towards Ka-
uafs goal when it was passed to Dill
bingham, who made the goal clearly.
This made it to 2sl for Oahu and viz
tually settled the result of the game.
With SpaIding doing some wonderful
riding off, the Rices and Melina were
able to advance the ball towards Ca
hu's goal. Dole and Damon tried to
check them, but their back-hand
strokes lacked force. Out of the scrim-
mage that followed Arthur Rice made
Kauai's fourth and last goal, bringing
the score up to to ga.
With only few minutes to play,
both sides made a hard finish, but the
Oahu ponies being the stronger enabled
them to put UP the hotter fight. The

man driving it in KauaTs direction
when Melina's pony refused to work
and Damon had an easy chance He
made a good hundred foot drive and
scored Oahu's sixth and last goal. Ka-
uai tried valiantly to score again and

OAHU TAKES LEAD.

The third period started in the ma
uka corner where the second ended.
The ball was the center of a hard fight
that waged up and down the field and
finally by excellent riding off by Kauai,
the ball was in front of Oahu's goal,
Oahu soon had it out of danger. But
not for long as back it came. Dole
caught it with one of his powerful
back-hand drives. Jim Spalding was
ready and raped it back again, by one
of the best drives of the day. c. Rice
almost got to it for goal, but Dilling-
ham cut under him and with a cross
cut put the ball out of a most dan
gerous spot. Oahu had made a fine de-
fence against powerful offence that
threatened their goal again and again.
Now it was Kauafs turn to defend,
as the ball was menacing their goal.
Oahu hit for goal, but failed to make
it, so A. Rice hit out, but did not hit
again in following up. Kauai was de-
Tending as strongly here as did Oahu
and the visitors could not get a goal.
Melina hit to center, but here Damon
and Angus stopped it and made the
ball travel again into Kauai's territory
Dillingham; got the ball on a throw in
and with a clear field made a pretty
goal at an angle, thus changing the
lead to Oahu by one-fourth of a goal.
This was the longest period on account
of so much time being taken out, but
it was full of fast and brilliant polo,
on both sides.

and a scrimmage ensued before the
posts. Dillingham; finally driving a
goal. tying the score.
The Rices and Melina got the jump
and with Jim Spalding fighting off
Dole, they raced it along so quickly
that Melina got the second goal for
Kauai in forty-one seconds, being a
beautiful long shot from the side. Not
an Oahu mallet touched the ball from

AS soon as the ball started again
Oahu was thoroughly aroused and
never let up hammering until Damon
made a goal. again tying the score.
Dillingham; and Dole aided in this by
passing the ball along to Damon who
made a quick and true drive. That
ended the scoring for the first period

Every one was anxious for the sec

appeared on fresh mounts, and began
again in earnest. Arthur Rice broke
his mallet and had to hustle to the side
lines for a new one, but it was just
right for as he returned Dillingham;
was rushing the ball along and Rice

goal. C. Rice returned towards the
blue goal, and it soon went back of the
line. Dole hit out, Damon and Dilling-
ham carrying it on to the center. But
Melina stopped it, and Kauai worked it
back again so Chas. Rice made Ka-
uafs third goal Time, 2 min. II sec.
Again Kauai got the ball first from

the ball and Melina almost made an
other goal the ball hitting the goal

goal when Melina made a safety. 1t
cost Kauai one-fourth of a goal. but
doubtless kept Oahu from scoring.
After this the ball Travelled all over
the field, out of bounds twice on ma
lka side, back of the center, and up
and down without further scoring.
Kauaians were now jubilant. as the
score, with the game half over, was
n Kauafs favor, 2a47 to ?, Oahu having
allied to increase their two made in the
irst period.

at Kappa, the closest and fastest polo
game ever seen on the islands, by the
score of to 81.
1t was worth going miles to see, as it
was anybody's game almost up to the
finish.
The Oahu team with its followers ar
rived at Nawiliwili Friday, about 4
O'Clock in the morning, Charles and
Arthur Rice being at the landing to
greet them, and take part of the party
to their homes, while the balance went
to Lihue Hotel. At a. m. a four-horse
bus gathered up the players and the
Rice boys took their guests to the field
at Kappa, seven miles from Lihue, the
Oahu ponies already having been at
the stables there for three days. The
strokes up and down the field. The
ground, while covered with grass, was
found to be sandy and the ball would
fail to travel after hitting the ground.
This popularity with the length of the
field, 900 feet, Kapiolani Park field be-
ing only about 600 feet, caused a little
difficulty. The Spalding boys drove
over from Kealia to join the party and
after a short trying out, all drove back
to Lihue to w. II. Rice's, where a
bountiful poi luncheon was served.
After an afternoon of resting the
party gathered at Chas. Rice's home,
''Kalapaki," to enjoy a delightful stag
polo dinner. Toasts to the two teams
were drunk and to the hospitality of
the Rices, the best of feeling over the
game being dominant.
The Fourth of July dawned clear and
warm and as quiet as a May morning,
no fire crackers or bombs disturbing
the early hours in Lihue. Shortly after
eight the players were again gathered
in by the Rice's four-horse bus and
started for Kappa over the dusty red
roads
All Kauai seemed going to the game,
and it was a procession. Every avail
able rig was pressed into service. Even
from Makaweli people came. a thirty
one mile drive.
Arriving at the field it was found to
be already filling up, and as the big
plantations were closed down for the
day, large crowds of Japanese and Por-
tuguese were in evidence. they being
more interested in following the races
which came after the game. A gentle

weather conditions ideal. The polo
field is just inside the mile track, and
the carriages were all placed along the
mauka side extending the length of the
field. Seemingly there were hundreds
on setback, principally natives,
scattered all along and at one end,
while plantation employees of all ma
were everywhere.

Controversy Between AIbaugh
and Kelly Arouses Comment.
DUM0NT SMITH TALKS
Declares the Tax System of
Kansas at Fault.

Topeka. Kan, Sept. Since Mort Al
baugh challenger Treasurer Kelly II
leave their differences to any supreme
court judge whom Kelly may name, tn:
loser to resign his public office, there ha.
been a great deal of comment by the pa
pers and politicians
Frederick Dumont Smith, state senator
from Edwards county, has written an ex-
PLANTATION of the present tax nuddle
which is causing the trouble among the
state officers. Senator Smith was the
champion of the tax bill which failed to
pass the legislature last winter and he
believes that the failure of the bill has
caused the present muddle. He has the
following TO say on the subject:
The controversy that has arisen over
the action of the state board of equali-
cation recalls once more the beauties of
our present tax law. After all the assess
ments are in. after all the township as
SCISSORS have exercised their patriotic ef-
forts to keep their respective assessments
to the lowest level, and have completed
with every other in leaving as much prop
erty as possible off the tax rolls; when
the hodge podge of inequalities and abb
surdities is completed, the state treasurer,
secretary of the state and auditor, without
any previous preparation or investigation
of the subject are supposed to give up q
few hours from their other duties and
'equalize' this mess. They have the last
guess.
The whole system is absurd, worthy of
Turkey or Morocco rather than a civilized
state like Kansas. It is an utter impoS-
sibility to do justice under the present sys-
TEN; someone is sure to get the worst OF
it. and the people are usually the ones
Now that he legislature is over and the
people begin TO dispasionately consider
the law that was beaten because of a
fractional row in the party, they realize
every time the subject comes up that
a great mistake was made. The fact is
that in all the discussion of that measure
there never was successful criticism ad-
vanced, or one that could not be COM
pletely answered Not that the bill was
perfect. but it was the best that could
be passed under all the circumstances
and if it had passed the corporations
