POLO BALL.
4 SUCCESS
Moana Hotel Scene of
Popular Annual
Event.

The second annual polo dance given
last evening at the Moana Hotel, Wal
kiki, was even more brilliant than the
field play There was genuine pleas
ure at the dance into which was in
stilled much of the enthusiasm of the
stag dinner given earlier in the even
ing in honor of the members of the
Kauai and Maui polo teams. The ball
was one of unusual success, despite
the extreme heat, both in the large at
tendance of Honolulus 400" and the
thorough informality which reigned.
The dinner and ball We're given un-
der the auspices of the Oahu Polo Club
and their friends. The dinner was an
event which viii go down into the his
tory of polo in the islands as func-
ton which brought together the larg-
est number OF friends of the great
game. The dinner was served in the
reception hall of the hotel and was
an elaborate menu. The wines were
of many kinds and vintages and the
effect upon the diners was exhilarat-
ing. Songs, speeches and remarks on
the two polo games just finished were
the order of the evening. The appear
ance of Malina, the crack Kauai rider,
who came in quite late. was the signal
for an ovation to the plueky Hawaiian
rider.
Among the guests at the dinner were
Governor Geo. r. Carter. s. E. Damon,
Harold Castle. Frank Baldwin. Harry

To Build most Dangerous warships

LONDON. Aug. "Details given i'm
the House of Commons this week as
to the ship-buildfng programme of the
British goyernment for the present year
show that the two new battleships of
the Lord Nelson class will be worthy
of their great names. Their battery is
such as never before has been put into
any fighting ship.
On a displa acement of 16,5o0 tons, or
$50 tons larger than the previous larg-
est, the King Edward, they will carry
fourteen big armor piercing guns. A
comparison of the two types gives the
following results:
The King Edward-Guns, four 12-inch,
four 9.2-inch, ten 6-inch; tonnage, 16,-
$50; speed, 1S1a knots.
The Lord Nelson-Guns, four 12-fich,
ten 9.2-inch; tonnage, $500; speed, 16
knots.
Der of 9.2-inch guns. This weapon is
one of the most powerful in existence.
Firing a aS0-pound shell twice or thrice
a minute and driving it through thirty
five inches of iron, it is more powerful
than any stsn of similar type mounted
in foreign battleships.
The four 12-inch guns fire an $50
pound shell through some four feet of
iron. In exchange for this overwheIm-
ing superiority in heavy gun fire the
6-inch gun carried in the King Edward
disappears.

trict thereby cutting its representation
on the Central Committee, and conse-
quently the opportunity for representa-
ton on the Executive Committee, they
deemed 1t advisable to refuse 10 NOM
mate a candidate for the Central Com
mittee in the caucus, the caucus having
assumed the responsibility which would
result from surh a cut after every phase
OF the question was argued and every
appeal our delegates could make for
three Representatives for the Central
Committee; our delegates knowing that
with three members on the Central
Committee the campaign might success
fully be carried on, and further with
three delegates for the Central COM
mittee from this large area of territory
covered by the outer precincts of the
Fifth District we would be assured of
one member of the Executive Commit
tee, and could compel not only recogni-
tion of rights through the proper chan
nels but would be in an independent
position to comment. recommend and
oppose questions of Importance to the
country effecting the irffeSssts of the
country precincts, and to further-coTl-
firm or refuse to ratify, acts of the ad-
ministration conflicting With party in
terests and the interests OF our locality,
and that copy hereof be attested by
the secretary and be forwarded to the
convention in Hilo.
Resolved, In view of the position
taken by the delegates of this 9Th
Precinct Club before the caucus with
the other precincts of this Island and
this 5th District. that no nominations
be advanced for the Central Committee
unless the full quota OF three (3) dele
gates is apportioned for the outer pre-
cipcts hereby throwing the RESPONSE
biIity upon the caucus in convention of
the Fifth District, the members of this
club viewing the situation most seri-
ously and feeling that no apportion-
ment under three delegates to the
Central Committee can satisfactorily
handle the campaign, and that a copy
of this be attested by the secretary
and forwarded to the general conven-
ton in Hilo
The Democrats and Home Rulers were
in high giee over the misfortune of the
outer precincts due to the new appor-
tionment which cuts the country dis
tricts from four members of the Captral
Committee to two members, thereby de-
priving the outer precincts of any rep
resentation on the Executive Com
mittee. Mr.. Low told the club meeting
in his remarks of how earnestly and
hard they had worked and despairing
over the situation the delegates of the
fourth. fifth and sixth precincts had left
the caucus. Other members of the club
spoke in the strain or dismay. Never
before has anything 50 serious come
up to mar the harmony of party in
terests in this club as the present.
