Trial Trip of the Mercedes. ;"

Last Sunday afternoon Capt.
Constine made his initial trip in
the Mercedes" of which men
tion was made some time ago.
Leaving the river bridge with a
party of twenty-seven he went.
down to the railroad bridge at
the rate of ten miles an hour.
The trip to and from the trestle
some six miles-was made in
about thirty minutes, which in
cluded a delay of at least FIVE
minutes at the trestle to take
on four new passengers.
On the whole the trial trip of
the Mercedes" was distinctly
a success, and Capt. Constine
will doubtless find his craft verv
for excursion parties
up and down the river.

One of the most interesting busi-
ness items transacted was the selec-
ton of location for the District
parsonage. The District stewards
had already appointed a committee
to receive propositions from the vari.
ous places and report same to the
District conference Su mmervllle,
on the extreme Western border,
offered 81, 900 in three equal annual
installments, but offered no lot on
which to build. Kingstree, more
centrally located, offered -$1,CoO IN
cash and lot valued at about $500,
and, of course the committee rec
commended the acceptance of the
Kingstree proposition, which, after
some discussion, was adopted by the
Conference. A board of trustees
was then elected and empowered to
proceed with the erection of the
District parsonage at Kingstree.
The board of trustees is as fol.

MANY GOING FROM MAUITO SEE
BALL GAMES.

The big series of ball games that
will take place in Honolulu be-
tween the All Hawaii Team and
the team of all-stars from the Paci-
fic Coast in November is attracting
much attention on all of the Is
lands and it looks as though there
will be many baseball fans who
will go from all points on the diff
ferent Islands to see the fun. The
rate is one fare for the round trip
and is within reach of all who may
be interested.
The Hawaii Team is a good one
and they are sure to give the Coast
boys some hard games and in fact
they are betting in Honolulu that
the home team will at least win
half of the games.
The line up of the Hawaii Team
is as follows:--Donahue and Lyman
c; Joy and Reuter- P; Sanborn and
Williams 1B; Vannatta 2B; Hamp-
ton 3B; Williams S. S; Lemon and
Burns L. F.; Aylett and Fernando
c. F.; Louis and Darcy r. F;
The Coast team will arrive in
Honolulu on the 22nd; of next
month and play on the 23rd.
The fact that grinding will start
much earlier this year than usual
will prevent number from attend
ing the games but all who can go
will do so.

some continued and many disposed

Kami Okamura was convicted
of perjury and sentenced to three
months Imprisonment. Some mon

charging another Jap with the
commission of serious crime.
When the case was called a few
days later she testified positively
that the statements she had made
when the warrant was issued were
not true. The authorities believed
that the whole affair was a put up
job to extort money from the de-
fendant in the first case and as the
plot failed the complaining witness
told a different story in order to
have the matter drop but in stead

Shingle when asked what his com,

for carrying this large amount of
lumber, refused TO state anything at
present about it, but said that he
would have something to say before
long. The question was also asked
him if the ships would call at Homo

they would carry passengers. This

about, but he said that he would have

will be in the nature of a basement
they were very much objected to

The effect of raising the building
will be that the rooms of the lower
floor will have less the nature of a
basement, there will be less danger
of decay and the elevating of the
entire building will give it a more
imposing appearance.
Every citizen consulted in the

THE SCORE STOOD too.

The best game of base ball ever
played on the island of Maui took
place at Wells Park Sunday be-
tween the Stars snd the Waikapus.
1t was an ideal day and the boys
were in excellent form, Once dur.
ing the game the Stars had three
men on bases and none out but the
skillful work of the Waikapus pre-
vented them from making a run.
Each inning gave no result on
the tally board until the ninth
inning after the Waikapus had
failed to score, Johnny Garcia for
the Stars reached third base and
when nearly all hope to score
was gone ,Pokipala made a safe hit
that let Garcia down to home.
The game was exceptionally free
from errors and honors were even
so far as good playing was con-
cerned.
While none of the Waikapu team
ever got as far as second base dur
ing the nine innings their skill in
keeping the Stars down won for
them the praise of the sports pre-
sent.
