POLO MEN GO
OFF TO KAUAI

When the Kauai leaves for Kauai
this evening it will be with every state
room full and the extras piled upon the
decks everywhere. For the run to Ka-
uai for Fourth of July celebration has
been proved the novelty of the many
celebrations of this season.
The principal attraction of this trip
of course is the polo game which prom
ises to be full of action and will bive to
the players all the sport they can hope
to have. 1t will be the second match
for the Kauai men and they will cele-
brate the occasion as best they may,
even though they admit that they are
not better than a three to one shot
in the race.
The local team will show some
changes. Atkinson cannot make the
trip and George Angus has been sub
stituted for him on the team. Damon,
Dillingham;, Dole and Angus will make
as a strong a four as might be got
together and they expect that they will
have as good sport as could be ex-
pected. Each player will have four
ponies and the men at Lihue have
agreed to keep their mounts down to
the same number.
There will be principally fanciers Of
the game in the party and 1t will be
a jolly crowd which makes the tour.
Horse races and a luau are other at
fractions which will make the day en-
joyable for the visitors

IN THE HOUSE.


The House received the answer of
Superintendent Cooper to the petition
concerning Richards street as soon as
the morning business was over, the
letter reading as follows:
II am in receipt of petition con-
corning the widening of Richards street,
accompanied by report OF the Com
mittee on Public Lands and Internal
improvements, and l have to say that
the recommendations of the committee
meet with my approval, and commits
of considering the question of dam
ages to be awarded to the claimants
and thereupon to make order of con-
demnation for the necessary land for
the widening of the street,
COMPENSATION FOR DOLE.
Vida then offered his bill making an
appropriation of $1,000 to compensate
Edmund p. Dole for his services in
presenting the Osaki Mankichi case to
the Supreme Court and preparing the
supplemental brief submitted therein.
The bill was passed first reading.
Kalama offered the bill to appropri-
ate the sum of $4,000 for defraying the
expenses of the band for travelling ex-
penses during the remaining six months
Of this year.
Senate Bill No. Q, the Eighteen
Months Expense bill, was then taken
UP. Nakaleka secured the insertion of
items of $500 for derrick at the land
ing at Pelekunu and then proposed
$4,000 for a freight cable at Wailau,
there being some little objection to
the size of the item, though 1t passed
as in the bill. For Halawa landing
he asked $4,000 and there he met with
some opposition. Andrade said the
amount was too great but the item
CONEY ESTATE ITEM OUT.
Paele then presented the item of re-
endorsement of the Coney estate for
lands taken for the Tantalus road, $12,-
0OO Speaker Beckley said that the bill
appropriations for the de-
partmental use only, and was to cover
the period commencing Jan. !, 1904. If
the amount asked was to be paid for
land to be taken in the future it would
come under the provisions of this act,
he said. However, 1t was a mat
ter which had been seemingly closed,
the government now being in possess
sion of the land. He therefore ruled
that the item was not a proper one to
be inserted in the bill unless 1t could
be shown that the land was to be taken
in the future, AS 1t was announced
that the land had already been taken,
he ruled on the point of order that the
claim was properly an unpaid bill.
Lewis presented an amendment pro-
posing $500 for landing at Kauna-
loa, Puma. He explained that strip
of land had been given to the govern
ment for this landing by private par
ties. The amendment was passed.
1t was developed that there were few
people at Kaunaloa and Andrade rose
to the occasion, found that there was
a pail at Nualolo on Kauai, and imme-
diately asked $4,000 for a freight and
passenger cable there. Oil took this
seriously however and said that there
were no people within twenty miles,
no living thing but goats. There was
a laugh at his expense and the item
was killed.
