| SHERIFF COMFY ENTERTAINS.
Last Thursday evening Sheriff Coney
gave a dinner party to his confreres of
the law and those present out-did them
selves to preserve the reputation of the
craft for storytelling. The party sat
down at the table little after seven
and did not adjourn therefrom until
half past ten, and during all that time
there was not minute that some story
teller was not holding the boards down
with a yarn. Funny stories were told
about every conceivable thing on earth,
and the table was roar of laughter
from the time the company sat down
until they arose. OF good things to eat
there was plenty and when lawyers.
sheriffs, clerks of the court, stenograph-
ers and interpreters get to eating and
talking, especially telling stories. there
is no telling when they are going to
quit. Every man there felt sorry to
leave, but even court people figure
there is a time to quit and so Deputy
Attorney General Prosser Clerk of the
Court Palmer, Stenographer Bell, In
terpreters Sheldon and Sheba, Deputy
Sheriff Rice and Attorneys Correa, Ka-
go and Willard finally smoked the last
cigar, drank the last toast, told the
last story and bade their host, the
Sheriff, reluctant good night.
POLO GAME.
Last Thursday afternoon quite a
crowd gathered at the polo grounds
at Waipol to witness the weekly prac-
tice of the Kauai Polo Club. The Ka-
uai boys are practcing regularly, get
ti,,., II, %. r.
expect to play in Honolulu with the
Maui team on the oath and 9th of this
month.
At the practice game Thursday the
lineup of the team was as follows:
John Malina... No. 1......S. Mahelona.
j. Spalding. ....No o.. Count Bonzi
c. A. Rice. ......No 3......,..P. Malina
A. H. Rice. No 4..... Count Semi
and h. S. spalding.
John Malna No. is a strong and
sure hitter: His main faults are that
he hits too hard when approaching
goals, and he is apt at times to leave
No. without guard James Spalding
No. 2 is a good goal shooter and
has improved much lately in his hitting
abilities. Mr.. Spalding is a hard play
playing.
C. A. Rice No. 8, will captain the
team in Honolulu He is a steady and
sure player, and is the backbone of
the team. As captain, Mr.. Rice is dis
posed to allow the team too much lat
itude in their playing, and it would be
better If he kept No 1 and No. 4 from
playing too loose in their positions. A.
H. Rice has always held down No.
on the Kauai team, and at times plays
good polo, but his playing is unsteady
and somewhat erratic. He is slow at
getting in on the ball, and too much
disposed to leave his own goal UNI
guarded. Taken all around the gem
eral playing of the team III not so good
as when they played Honolulu last fall.
