editor Prof. Brandenburg takes occa-
sion to compliment Delta county in
highest terms. Among other thirgs he
said: Delta county's exhibit received
her full share of attention. all of which
means splendid advertising for your
section. The fruit from your county
was an important factor in helping US
win the blue ribbon on our fruit display
at the Missouri state fair. 1t was
great victory for u.s."
The more lively and prosperous Sec
tion is, the more sales it can show Oc
casionally one asks: "Why are so
many people willing to sell, if they have
such a good thing?" They buy and sell
in a speculative way. They are not
offering to sell for anything but good
prices, for they know that values are
increasing. Those who come into a
community to invest would not buy if
conditions were other than prosperous.
for they, too. want to make profit on
their investment. Go into dead COM
munity where you can get property at
your own price, and you will find no
sales being made. The investors are
looking for action on their money that
means profits.

RACE TRACK
At MOANALUA
Six.Furlong Track viii Be Laid
Out on the Estate OF
S. M. Damon.

S. NJ Damon, who has done more for
golf and polo than anyone else in the
Territory, maintaining at his own ex-
pense grounds for both of these games.
is considering the laying out of a race
track, where the sport of kings can
be carried on in manner that will
probably reinstate it in popular favor.
On the level grounds of the estate,
Eva of the golf links, six furlong
track has already been surveyed and
staked out and tentative plans are laid
for going ahead with this and putting
1t into shape.
Mr.. Damon is reported to have said
that he would be very glad to see the
sport of horseracing fiourishing here
again, if properly conducted. He leaves
in short time for England, where he
will look into the arrangements at
some of the best tracks of the country,
securing suggestions which might be
adopted here. On his return he will
probably go ahead with the fitting UP
of me surveyed course at Moanalua.
The beautiful golf links and polo field
on his estate are practically given over
to the public use by Mr.. Damon, in the
fostering of clean sport. and it is prob
able that the track which Mr.. Damon
will have laid out will be equally. de-
voted to public use provided reput-
able jockey club be formed. In such
an event Honolulu may have once more
good horse racing. Clearly conductsd.

BOTH TEAMS
OUT TO WIN

The game of baseball scheduled for
promises TO be the hardest fight that
has been seen on the local diamond
this year and there is sure to be a
big crowd on hand to see the st. Louis
boys and the Picked Team fight it out
for first honors. This game is more
interesting from spectators stand
point than the usual League games,
inasmuch as these two teams are the
cream of the four League teams and
naturally will play better ball, and
then there is more rivalry between
these two teams than there is between
two ordinary League teams. They are
both out to win and inasmuch as each
one of these teams has game to it's
credit 1T is a toss-up as to which one
will win.
Leslie and Reuter- will face one an
other in the pitchers box and it will
be a battle royal between these two
speed marvels. Both have $1,000 wings
and they can both speed them over like
shot Leslie will be seen in st.
Louis uniform and Reuter- will do the
trick for the Picked Team. Both wiz
have their strongest lineups on the
field and will do all in their power to
take the game.
After this game Dis over the All Ha-
waiian team will take the field and do
somefof their practise work. The boys
all have a willingness to practise hard
for this team, as they all want the
honor of playing on the team and also
want to be in the best possible shape
to meet Fishers All Star combination
when they come to the Land OF Sun
shine.
The money derived from today's
game viii go toward a fund to help
defray the expense of the Coast team.
and as it as for such a good cause,
each and every fan should do his share
and purchase a pasteboard to see to-

PROGRAM FOR
OLYMPIC GAMES

A program of the games to be in
cluded at the Fourth international
Olvmpiad, at London next year, mas
been received here and shows the scope
of the great sporting event planned.
The event is being arranged under the
direction of the Council of British
Olympic Association, presided over by

of Tapley, a member OF the Interna-
tional Olympic committee and presi-
dent of the Royal Life Saving Society.
Acting with him are thirty-one coun-
cilmen, the representative of the lead
ing amateur athletic associations Of
the country.
For the games an immense stadium
is being built, capable of seating
seventy thousand spectators and con-
tanning dressing rooms and all other
accommodations for the contestants.
The center of the arena is a turf field
Within cycling track, a running track
and swimming pond. The cycling
track will be two and three-quarter
laps to the mile, the running track
three laps to the mile. The swimming
pond will be slightly over 1O0 yards
long and so yards wide, big enough for
swimming races and water polo and
deep enough for diving stunts. Lawn
tennis and archery grounds will be
taidsout on the turf, on which lacrosse.
tennis, racquet, riding, hockey. football
and other games will be played.
Included among the games viii be
foot races of all kinds, from 100 metres

SCHOOL FOOTBALL
INTEREST IS ALIVE

Football at the High School has
taken a fresh impetus with the form
ing of strong athletic association.
Next Friday the opening game of the
inter-class series viii be played be-
tween the Sophomores and the Juniors.
The Seniors will play the Freshmen
after the first game has been pulled
of.
The manager this year is E. B.
Blanchard. His team is a light, fast
one and football enthusiasts predict
that they will make things hum de-
spite their lack of weight.
AS vet no inter-scholastic schedule
has been arranged. Both Punahou and
the Kamehameha school have teams
this year and are certain to put
first team in to compete. Punahou' s
first and the Kan first are both heavy
teams; much heavier than the High
school aggregation and unless the
Highs enter the second league they
may be out of it entirely. as far as
winning is concerned.
The Highs are plucky crowd, and
the majority of the members are IN
favor of entering the first team league.
A meeting viii shortly be held at
which details of schedule and the like
will be gone over.
Punahou has been practising daily,
and Manager Lidgate is pleased with
the outlook. Punahou walked on with
the baseball championship last year,
among the schools, and 1t is their in
tention to do the same with the foot
bail series While their weight stands
in their favor, Punabou does not in
tend to neglect practising, for it real
ICES that, with the effective coaching
which Coach Blanchard is giving the
Highs. the games may have different
aspect.
Kamehameha is lying low at pres
ent but is still alive. 1t is Thought
probable that the season will open with
a game between High school and the
Kams While her first team may be
heavier than the Highs, the difference
is not enough to scare the latter and
her first team will play the others
first.
1t is too young in the season to say
much concerning the playing abilities
of the teams The boys are doing
their best and it is safe to add that
when the season opens in November
lovers of football will see a series OF
games that will delight their hearts

aticaily laid out, lime lines run and
other matters SO arranged as TO i'm

thousands who watch them. In recog-
milton of the assistance of Mr. Low, the
representatives of the two leagues have
