championship athletic meeting to be
held at the Boys Field this afternoon
and the affair promises to be the most
successful ever held in Honolulu
Nearly a hundred different athletes
are entered and five different organiza-
tons are represented. Prizes are Of
fered for the team scoring the great
est number of points, for the individ-
ual making the most points and for
leach individual winner.
The winning team gets a beautiful

different events will be rewarded with
silver medals and the title of Hawai-
ian champion in each event contested.
Princess Kawananakoa will present
competitors with leis, after the custom
prevailing at the Olympfan games at
Athens.
An excellent list of officials has been
I
the program being rushed through in
record time, Notwithstanding the large
number of entries
i A number of Japanese We're working
on the track yesterday and it is now
in splendid condition for fast time be-
J ing made. The grandstand has been
gaily decorated with bunting and from
ii will float the flags of the competing
clubs. All that is wanted to guaran-
tee successful meeting is fine
weather.
There was no practise at the track
yesterday and the members of the
different teams took matters easily
after their long siege of training.
The meeting looks like being very
keenly contested and from training
performances, records are certain to be |
broken.
If John Lo keeps his head he is quite
likely to run the 100 yards in even /,
time. This is his first appearance in |
public, however, and this may to some !
extent handicap him.
Sharsch is almost certain to break |
the record for the mile run and it |
would not be surprising to see him do
five minutes fiat.
j. Reed, of the Punahous is enter
Gu III the IfleE-tHEOW ana Is W
some extent a dark horse and may
spring a surprise. His form has been
kept strictly in the shade.
Great things are expected of c. Ly-
man of Oahu College in the sprints.
McCandless' performances will be
watched with great interest and he
is likely to take more than one first
event and to win the gold medal pre-
scented to the best individual performer.
Mcleod of Waipahu will be unable
to compete for the Diamond Heads in
the shot put but his brother of Eva
is in town and although he has had no
training may be seen in the weights.
Both these men have excellent records
as weight putters on Prince Edwards
Island.
The mile walk should furnish one
of the most interesting races of the
day and the best previous time for
this event should be clipsed. Hang
Chack, Huhui, Aud, Hopper and
Ayres all have chances and should
supply the first men home.
Both the Diamond Heads and Ka-
Schools have stronger ;
teams than when they finished first
and second in the Y. NJ c. A. field
day in December last. They should

ought to be somewhere about 10 points
to the good after all is over. The
Punahous look like finishing a good
