Matinee Yesterday Was Devoid
of Much Excitement.
Weather Was Too Warm and
Mays We're Lamed Some.
Charles Dewey Gives a Good
Account of Himself.

The attendance was light, the fields
small and the weather hot at the races
Yesterday. Part of this is due to the
fact that several of the local horsemen
are very busy men and cannot always
attend the matinees, and the horses are
not all in racing fettle, some being
lame and otherwise incapacitated. But
when President Atchison comes back
from his Iowa trip things in horsedom
will look up little as George has his
eye on good one and as he is ripe to
buy the chances are that he will bring
one back that can go about fifteen
three times.
Charles Dewey is beginning to make
good the expectations of his friends. He
paced second heat alone in the fast
time of 2:2O fiat, the fractional time be-
ing first quarter, :35; half, LOO; third
quarter Las; mile, 2:2O, certainly a
well rated mile.
Mr.. L. H. Foley's horse, DIR. Driver,
demonstrated that he is now out of the
forty bracket as he stepped mile yes
terday, handily in 2:37A after a
very slow start. This horse is still in
his colthood and has his mind on other
things than trotting.
Don Colbert gave the talent line of
Daisy surprised everyone, Mike includ-
ed, by winning the race in 2:4l2:46.
Marbleheart was right there with the
merchandise but blew up just at the
finish.

FOUND A VALUABLE PEARL.
Fairmont Boy Is Enriched by Picking
Up Clam Shell.
nail

From wednesdays Daily.
William, the twelve year old son of
Charles Moore of Fairmont, feels that
he has found the pearl of greatest price
at least his heart doth sing for joy. He
picked up a small clam shell on Oak
Beach, and boy like, took his knife and
opened the shell, when to his surprise
and delight he found beautiful pearl
as large as very large pea, remark
ably clear and of the right color
Experts value the pearl all the way
from $50 to $50. Mr.. Altenburg says
that such pearl in a necklace would
cost at least $50.
There are doubtless many such pearls
to be found about the lakes if one could
but lay hands upon the right clam, but
hundreds of shells might be opened be-
fore another pearl of equal size and
beauty could be found.

The Brown County officials
Are Very Careful.
Bill for Third Trial Is Ready,
Footing Up to &,654.
This Will Go Through Same
Close Examination.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Brown county has not yet allowed
the bill for the second Koch trial,
which was the first held III this county.
The bill was forwarded soon after the
trial was concluded in May, but it APP
pears that it has not yet been presented
TO the county board of Brown county.
County Attorney Hoidale still has the
bill. He has forwarded it to the state
public examiner for an investigation OF
the various items, as to their legality,
etc This official has returned the bill
for further details regarding some OF
the items. This bill foots up to 49,.
772.75. 1t is thought that whatever the
public examiner recommends viii be al
lowed by the Brown county board.
The bill for the second trial held in
this county, or the third trial of the
case, was completed this afternoon by
MI. w cdNSi VIII DC III "oioSi W
Brown county today or tomorrow. 1t
foots up to S465450 1t is likely that
County Attorney Hoidale will also send
this bill to the public examiner for his
approval, the same as he did the frs.
bill, and this will necessarily cause some
delay in allowing it. At present Blue
Earth county does not particularly need
the money, but it might happen later
that it would have to borrow, with S.
400 of its cash paid out for these trials
Mr. Hoidale is away, but when he re-
turns three weeks hence it is thought
that he will give the matter attention
The attorneys for DIR. Koch have not
yet made their settlement for their ser
vices.

TRENT AGAIN
REJECTS WARRANT
REFUSES TO FOLLOW THE COUN-
TY ATTORNEYS ADVICE RE-
GARDING ANOTHER PAYMENT.

County Treasurer Trent has again
refused to pay the 5000 warrant regard
ing which he asked Douthitt for an
opinion as to whether he should pay
it. The opinion was Gully rendered adj
vising payment, but Trent refuses to
pay, and the warrant is held up.
Mr.. Trent stated to me that he
would pay the warrant if 1 sent an OPT
Mon to the effect that it should be paid"
said Douthitt. "He now declines, how
ever to pay it. The reason, as 1 I'M
derstand him, is that the opinion sets
forth reasons on which it was based,
and he didn't want the reasons set
forth. He says he informed me that
he would pay the warrant if 1 sent in
a brief opinion merely stating that it
would be paid without giving reasons
for the opinion. 1 took this as simply
a matter of saving trouble in my office
and the opinion as we sent it in set
forth some reasoning on which it was
based. l do not see that it makes any
difference to the county treasurer but
the warrant is held up, and there we
are. I do not know what will be done
about it,"
The warrant in question is for $500,
authorized by the supervisors for in
cidental police information expenses
of the county attorneys Office.

KIHEI GRANTS
AN EXTENSION
KAPIOLANI ESTATE WILL HAVE
SIX MONTHS MORE IN WHICH TO
PAY UP WHAT IT OWES.

The Kapiolani Estate, the Hawaii
Land Company and Charlie Achi owe a
mere critic of $4,000 to the Kihei Plan
tation. The mere trihe is outstanding
and Kihei is not so valuable that it
causes anuy great furry on Wall street
when it's name is mentioned Still the
other Kihei stockholders, or some of
them at least, would like to see that
$4,000 in in the treasury
Hence the meeting this afternoon.
The meeting was held in Alexander
& Baldwin's office in the Stangenwald
building j. p. Cooke in the chair. A
long explanation by the chairman as
to the exact condition of affairs, was
fo"owed by a motion by Frank Nc
Stocker that the time for payment by
the delinquents be continued for a
period which was to be discretionary
with the board.
This was afterwards modified to read
that the time for payment should be
extended for six months, but it was
sufficient to stir up strife.
j. e. Fullerton, as a small holder,
objected to the extension and moved
that the matter should be closed up at
once. 1t had been running too long, he
said, he had borrowed money on the
stock he held and there was nothing for
him to do but pay when payments were
due. He thought that the stock of the
delinquents should be bought in by the
company and held as treasury stock.
j. p. Cooke announced that he held
proxies for 1000 shares which he
would vote for the majority.
j. F. Brown supported the McStock-
err motion for extension and McStocker
suggested that if Fullerton wished, he
would put IN a paragraph to tie up the
stock in the meantime
Whats the use?" said Fullerton.
People will not invest as long as the
stock is held as it is. They all antici-
pate the throwing of the delinquent
stock on the market. The situation will
be the same six months from now"
And so they took a vote with the re-
suit that there were 1862 shares for Nc
Suckers motion and 3O42 against it.
OF course Chairman Cook had to do
what he had promised and he cast his
own votes, with those of his proxies,
in favor of the majority and the re-
suit was:
FOR T HE SIX MONTHS EXTEN-
SION, 23,O13, AGAINST 3,O4O-THEN

KAMEHAMEHA
SCHOOL PIGS
BOARD OF HEALTH CONSIDERING
BE KEPT

The Kamehameha school pig-keep-
ing and the appointment of DR.. Deas as
government physician on Maui are the
principal matters on the programme of
the Board of Health meeting for this
afternoon. Kamehameha school is
running a pig pen or run as part of
its agricultural department and the
Board of Health has refused to allow
it to be kept up. The school made a
special appeal for permission to keep
the pigs and the board took up the
matter. 4Sl&
DR.. Daes' appointment was objected
to at a previous meeting by Attorney
General Andrews, on the ground that
the board had only recently removed
him from another position under
charges. 1t is believed however, that
explanations will be made and the APP
pOintment confirmed.

SYMPHONY CLUB.

The meeting of the Honolulu Sym
phony Club is an important one. When
Joseph Stockton came here to become
the conductor of the Clubs orchestra
it was on an agreement for six months.
Provision for Mr.. Stockton's salary
was made for that period. The ques-
is whether provision can be made for
his salary to continue him as conduc-
tor of the orchestra. 1t is hoped that
there will be a large attendance at the
meeting.
