Wild STEERS FOR
THE TOURNAMENT
EBEN LOW SELECTS GOOD ONES
FOR TOMORROW's COWBOY CON-
TEST AT KAPIOLANI PARK.

Eben Low ran up against the real
ranch when ne went to take a look at
| the steers that Manager Louis Warren
had captured for tomorrow afternoons
contest. Louis Warren certainly got
wild ones" said Mr.. Low in town this
| morning. "They are about the widest
looking lot 1 ever saw. We have wild
steers on Hawaii but we can't beat
| these Louis Warren thinks he will
have a joke on the Hawaii boys but
| $he joke will be on the other side"
| Asked if there was any danger from
| any of the steers getting away Mr.
Low said that it would be an inn
possibility for steer to get into the
grandstand, besides there will be any
number of cowboys on hand and
steer could never get by them. 1T is
"a show that will be as novel as it is
exciting" said Mr.. Low, land will be
entirely free from any brutality or
roughness that would be distasteful to
| the ladies. OF course the steers will be
| thrown and tied but they are built for
that kind of business. The sport will
be wholesome and clever, with good
sprinkling of humor."
Besides the roping and broncho bust
| ing contests there will be a water
melon race on polo ponies which viii
be very funny. Also an egg race.
Each contestant must carry an egg in
a long handled spoon If he drops the
egg he must go back for another The
prizes offered are very liberal and every
one worth working for.
Tickets are now on sale at Wall,
Nichols Company and will also be sold
on the ground.

MORE TEAM A mile
OF PHOTOGRAP HIS
A FILM OF THAT LENGTH IN THE
MOVING PICTURES OF THE
BRITT NELSON FIGHT.
In Crates or by the
Dozen

There was another good house at the
moving picture reproduction of the
Britt-Nelson fight, last night at the
Orpheum. The operation of the pic
ture machine, which gave some trouble
the first night, was entirely satisfac-
tory last night. The picture machine
ing as it does both mechanics and cleo
trical manipulation 1t was slightly
wracked on the way down from the
coast, but yesterday it was put in per-
feet order mechanically and so far as
it is concerned the show last night was
more satisfactory than it was the first
night.
In the pictures of the Britt-Nelson
fight there is none of that rapid oscil-
lation usual in most picture machines
i'm the past, and which is so trying to
the eyes, The pictures show no mo-
ton except that of the scene they are
depicting. This they show to the life,
so that the scene is reproduced in every
movement before the eyes of the spec
tators.
In presenting the eighteen rounds of
the Britt-Nelson fight more than a mile
of film is unrolled and passes before
the light and is thrown on the screen.
1t is run through the machine at exact
ly the same rate of speed that it went
through the machine when the fight
was in progress, so that not only the
actual scenes of the fight are repro
duced but in the exact time that was
given to them. Thus each round as it is
presented in the moving pictures, takes
exactly three minutes. The minute
waits between rounds, however, has
been wisely cut out by the management
after the first two or three rounds, as
no essential feature of the contest is
lost by doing so, and it cuts the per-
Torrance little shorter.
There were more women at the enter
tainment last night than there were the
first evening, the fact that there were
some the first evening apparently en-
boldening others to witness it last
night.
The show is certainly a most interest
ing one from every point of view. 1t
will be given again this evening. Po-
pular prices prevail.

LICENSES ON MAUI.

WAILUKU, October 1S-Gustave Rose
of the Treasury Department in Honolu-
lu, has been on Maui during the week
looking up licenses, During the course
of his travels on this island, Mr.. Rose
has found that quite a few store-keep-
ers, stables, lodging houses and others
have been operating without the requir-
ed licenses. He also found several do
ing business for other parties, and as
licenses are not transferable, all the IL
censes that will issue will have to be
dated back. Mr.. Rose did not wish to
cause any trouble, and so has simply
asked for the required license fee, which
means quite a little sum to the govern
ment.
