PAciFicS WIN.

The Pacifics and Iolanis played a
game OF association football on the
grounds at Makiki Saturday afternoon,
the former having only eight men on
the field and the latter having its full
quota. Despite the handicap of the Pa
cifics they made very brave showing,
In the beginning they had but five men
but went on the field anyway. The To-
lanis made three goals in the first half
and failed to score in the second. The
score stood 8 to 0 to the end of the
game.
There was some misunderstanding
as to which team should play against
the Iolanis. 1t was given out that the
Pacifcs might not play and for that
reason the Males went out on the
field. eleven strong, ready to play. How
ever, the few Pacifics who did turn out
decided to play,

next. The river. however, viii be full

don the place without resistance. They
are supposed to have four 5-inch guns
