BOSTON TAKES NOTICE
Of HAWA|I'S YACHT

BOSTON, August 24.-Recent Hawai-
ian advices state that the committee
in charge of the building and financing
of yacht to represent Hawaii in the
transpacific yacht race of 1908 have
wired to 3. B. Crowninshield of Boston
that his preliminary plans were salts
factory and asking him to forward
complete plans and specifications.
At the meeting in Honolulu con-
examination of Crowninshield's plans,
and it was the opinion of the Hawaiian
yachtsmen that the vessel, while bound
to show exceptional speed, would be
strong at every point and capable OF
standing the heaviest weather on her
long ocean trip. The Hawaiian yachts
men are now at work raising funds for
the building of the vessel, which will
be constructed by Sorenson & Lyle, at
Honolulu.
CrowninshieId this morning stated
that he had received the order for the
final plans and that they will be ready
in about ten days for shipment to Ho-
nolulu. His plans are for a schooner
of about SO feet water line. She will
cost about $4,000. Crowninshield said
that according to present arrangements
only the bare hull would be constructed
Joiner work will be done here and
shipped to Hawaii, together with the
sails, fittings, iron work, etc.

ALL WANT COAL.

With the work which is going at
present in the line of coaling vessels
the youngsters along the waterfront
are having fine time. They follow
each cart which takes the fuel to the
steamers and no lump which falls off
is too small for them. There were
a dozen of them yesterday, each with
a big sack, chasing after the carts
which were taking coal to the Sierra.
They seemed to be doing pretty well

LONGWORTH RECEPTION
AS IT IS TOLD IN FRESNO

The Fresno Republican publishes the
following as Special Correspondence, .
and still people think the Examiner is
yellow and a fake journal:
HONOLULU, August 5.-When it be-
came known that a reception was to
be given in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, in the throne
room of the palace, it is safe to say
that every feminine heart here gave
great bound, for it is not every day
one may attend a reception to the
daughter of president of the United
States in the throne room of long
dead kings and queens, even though
the aforesaid monarchs were a trifie
off in the color line. So Saturday
evening, August 8, witnessed a gath
ering that in numbers, style, nation
alities and varying shades of color,
could be equaled nowhere in the wide
world outside Honolulu.
Thousands of men and women dress
ed in their handsomest clothes and
dtsregarding heavy rainstorm, as
sembled at the old palace to do honor
to Teddy's proxy. 1t was not a friv-
olous and stupid society fad, just to
meet the daughter of a great man,
but to the white race here it meant
home" it meant the great States"
and all they stand for.
SCENE OF TROPICAL SPLENDOR.

from the Flagstaff in graceful arches
to corners of the palace, the dome
especially presenting a beautiful sight.
while the tropical gardens around the
palace were bright with the same
lights.
The Royal Hawaiian Band, in the
bandstand. and the Royal Orchestra,
stationed just outside the long wins
dows of the throne room, rendered
selections such as only the native mu-
sicians can give. It was truly splen-

Driveways and avenues throughout
the palace grounds were lined with
carriages and automobiles. Through
solid walls of native police and SOL
diers. the great throng ascended the
steps of the palace and thereupon join
ed the hosts already gathered there.
WORE MOTHER HUBBARDS."
You must bear in mind that the
three native societies, composed of wo-
men, were there. 1t is useless to at
tempt an accurate description of what
followed. Tie native women led the
procession, clad in native dresses call
ed holokus that are in reality Mother
Hubbards," with trains of varying
lengths and of as many kinds of ma
terial as there were women.
One order had gone through all clad
in black with leis of yellow feathers
about their necks. The second order
was also in black, with another kind
of lei. 1t was about the time this Sec
ond order was half way up the throne
room that the trouble began.
NATIVES ECLIPSE WHITES.
The entrance doors were wide
enough for several persons to enter

the two colors-natives, two by two,
and side by side the white people
but certainly the two races were very
distinct. 1 was just in time to see

The Hawaiian gazette., 1907-09-03

William Espinda, the crack pitcher
of the Kaala A. c., has returned after
a vacation on Maui. Last Sunday he
played first-base for the Kaalas in the
game with the japanese A. c.. when
he showed to good advantage. In fu-
ture he will occupy the pitchers slab
for the Kaalas, which was ably. filled
by NJ. Correa during his absence. The
Kaalas are now leading in the Sec
ond series of the Riverside League,
and their chances for supremacy seem
most promising.

THE DARKNESS
ENDED THE GAME
(From Mondays Advertiser.)

Before four or five thousand inter-
ested and excited spectators, the Chi
nese Alohas and the Chinese Athletics
that was ever played at the Riverside
The game was played up to the
twelfth inning, when Umpire Ed. Fer
nandez called it off owing to darkness,
when the score stood 5 to s. This game
had been much talked of between Chi
nese of different societies and tongs,
and each side had it's loyal support
ers. 1t was a day of roofing and YELL
ing among the crowd from the start OF
the game till the end. During the last
few innings the crowd went so wild
that the police were called in, but all
their efforts to keep the spectators
back were of no avail. Interpreter
Fred Weed was on hand with a club in
one hand and was doing his best to
keep the crowd back, but the yellings
and rootings became so wild that Weed
had to give up in disgust.
The first game of the day was play
ed between the Kaala A. C. and the
Nippon nine. This game was also well
played, ending in victory for the Ka-
alas by the score of z to 4. For the
first few innings the Japs did good
work, and it was expected that they
would be the winners, but by some
heavy batting on the part of the Ha-
waiians, the latter managed to win
the game at the end. Both Jack
Flores, the pitcher of the japanese
team, and M. Correa, of the Kaalas,
did fine work in the box.
The second game, between the Chi
nese Alohas and the Chinese Athletics,
was something that does not happen
very often in baseball history. Both
of the teams did good work and the
plays made by different players were
wonderful. V. Ayau was the hero of
during the game. He pulled off some
plays that will class with anything
Evers, the crack shortstop of the st.
Louis, ever did.
The Alohas We're handicapped, with
out their regular pitcher, Ho Yup, who,
owing to an injured arm, was unable
to pitch, but filled first base well for
his team. ]. Kaimi was in the box.
Kaimi is a student in the Kameha-
meha Schools and has done some good
pitching there. His benders puzzled
the Chinese Athletics for some time,
and the work he did is a credit to the
Chinese Aloha Club. Those players
used good head work during the game,
and if they can do so today, in the
game at the league grounds, the
chance are that they will beat the ma
tives.
John Lo and Chi Bui, who formed
the battery for the Athletics, also play
ed a good game. The work in the
field by the players of this team was
not quite as good as the Alohas, Mon
Yin, the left fielder of the Athletic
nine, missing several nice flies. The
crowd was with the Chinese Alohas,
although the members of the Chinese
Athletics were roofing for their own
club. The day was fine and Captain
Berger made things pleasant with his
band boys. The game continued for
twelve hard-fought innings, or, rather,
until Catpain Berger had to turn up
the lights. At this stage, Umpire Fer
nandez decided to call the game
draw and it will be played off some
time in the future.

. FIRST GAME FAST.

In the sixth the Chinese took a lead
that seemed TO put them in the win
ming class, although the Palamas also
had a chance in this frame to make a
killing. Hoopii went in first for the
natives and sent a nice one to center,
TO catch which looked so easy to Kua
that he muffed. Correa laid down q
sacrifice and Hoopii advanced a base.
Kahawinui famed and Flores little
effort was fumbled and Hoopii made
his third. Flores stole second and it
was UP to Kealoha to make good al
the bat. He popped a little fly out as
his best and it was all off.
The Alohas started off with Kaimi
beating the throw to first on a three
strike play, stealing second. Flores
stepped on a banana peel and let
Townsend's drive go over him, letting
in both runs. Linn, Akana and Kua
came up but failed to get in the hit
column.
In the seventh the Palamas filled
the bases with no men out and then
fell dewn again, Pitcher Annoy doing
good work and keeping himself on the
ground. In the eighth the Alohas
made a couple of bad fielding plays
and let the Palamas tie the score,
while the two the natives annexed in
the final round meant leis for them.

CONTRACT COMES
FOR REUTER-
(From Saturdays Advertiser.)

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
Pitcher r. P. Reuter- will be handed
a contract this morning for his sig
nature. If he takes his pen in hand
and subscribes his name to the docu-
ment he will belong to the San Fran
cisco baseball team and be on the
same pitching staff as Barney JOY.
The contract came last night to
Charley Falk, who will hand it over
to Reuter- this morning. 1t offers the
big man of the Kams the same salary
that Barney received when he first
went to the Coast, one hundred and
fifty a month and expenses when on
the road. 1t is now up to Reuter-.

This translated means that he is ne
gotiating for another Barney joy.
There is pitcher on the islands who
stands six feet in his stockings, weighs
200 pounds, and hurls a ball so fast
that it resembles a pea passing the
plate. This the sort of a pitcher Long
is more than willing to experiment with
next year. Barney Joy wised his S&an-
ager up to the new prodigy, who has al
ready been written to about playing in
the Pacific Coast League. At the re-
quest of Long big Barney mailed a let
ter on the last steamer asking if he
would consider an offer to play with
San Francisco. Joy said yesterday that
he thought Reuter-, for this is his name,
would come through with the big
Eyes" The following is a little boost
which Barney put in for the young
pitcher: "Reuter has pitched lot of
ball on the islands, and have little fear
about him not making good. He is a
motorman on one of the railroads, but
pitches game a week at least. He is
half Hawaiian, weighs fully two hun
dred pounds, and throws a ball as far
as the next one. He is no southpaw,
and when 1 left home he had as nice
control as any pitcher l ever saw work.
1t is not sure that he would want to
come to the Coast, but | have written
to him to consider an offer. l have
told him what a great country this is
for baseball, and here is where he can

ST LOUIS ARE
SURE CHAMPIONS

The st. Louis Alumni baseball nine
cinched their right to the title of
Champions of 1907 yesterday by beat
ing a picked nine from the other three
teams of the league, shutting them
out and playing a game in which only
one error was chalked up against
themselves. OF course the Champions
had the advantage of playing as a
team, their team batting being par
ticularly effective, while their oppo-
nents have had no practise together.
The St. Louis were a good team of
players, the picked nine was team
of good players, and the good team
won on their team work.
1t was a splendid game, a game Of
shut-outs up until the fifth, a game
in which there was free hitting, espe-
cially on the part Of the Champions,
and of splendid fielding. Both Bush
nell and Reuter- We're wild at times in
the slabwOrk, but the support they
got was good. In the opening inning
Bushnell walked two out of the three
men that came up and then caught
them on bases, none of them seeing
second. Reuter- was not so fortunate.
His throwing to bases was pot so true
and in one instance, in the sixth, gave
the St. Louis a tally by heaving a low
one to second to catch Bushnell in a
double, which Vannatta couldn't con-
meet with, Bushnell making third and
scoring on a wild pitch.
As a result of the game a good many
persons were heard to wonder in what
way the team could be bettered for
the games with the Coast nine, and
it seems practically certain now that
at least five of the nine will be chosen
from among the wearers of the blue.
The opening game, that between the
leaders of the Riverside league, the
Palamas and the Chinese Alohas, was
also a fast game and good baseball.
Starting off with a tally apiece in the
opening spasm the boys presented a
series of blanks up to the sixth, when
the Alohas made it three, and then
to the eighth, when the Palamas took
advantage of some loose fielding on
the part of the Chinese and tore off
two runs, repeating this in the ninth,
leaving the final score five to three in
favor of the natives.
The holiday crowd, one of the best
which has attended any of the games
this season, rooted hard during both
games, although the. enthusiasm was
more pronounced during the first
game than when the big leaguers came
on. 1t was evident that both the Riv-
erside mines had their patrons and fans
out in force and the particularly good
plays made the grandstand and
