CITY School Board.

Capt. Herbert Bryant presided last
night at the meeting OF the City School
Board. and in the absence OF the clerE
Mr.. L. II. Thompson acted as clerk.
There we're also present Messrs. Yates,
Thomson, Ramsay, Csrne, smoot and
Superintendent Kemper.
Mr. Csrne, from the committee on
studies and discipline, reported adverse
" on the application Of J. Il. DePue
for the introduction of school OF book
keeping and penmanship in the schools,
and the report was adopted.
Mr.. Yates, from the committee on
school houses and furniture, reported
that he had had sash locks placed on
windows in Washington school building,
as some person or persons had recently
invaded that building and stolen sundry
articles.
M. Thomson, from the finance COM
mittee, to whom a resolution asking
Council for an appropriation OF S0OO 10
make sewer connections at Washington
school building had been referred, re-
rorted that while the movement met
with the approval Of the committee, they
could not ask the CITY Council for any
more money at present.
Mr.. Yates, who had introduced the
resolution, thanked tie committee for
the consideration they had given 1t,
hut said the matter OF sewerage was a
criminal necessity, and should be brought
directly to Council.
Mr.. Ramsay said that while be sp-
proyed the plan, it was by no means a
pleasant duty TO imporlune Council for
money.
Superintendent Kemper said the
schools we're not receiviog from Council
the amount due them.
The report was adopted.
Toe finance committee asked to be re-
lieyed from the further consideration OF
the resolution introduced BY Mr. Yates
looking % the erection Of new school
building for girls.
Mr.. Yates wanted the matter placed
before Council.
After some interchange Of opinion a
motion was made that the resolution, at
tested by The clerk, be sent to the City
CJuOcll
M. Thompson sSid he failed to see
what could be scconp ished by such a
course at the present time. Council had
no money at its disposal with which to
erect such building as was contempls-
ted 1t might, however, be a good way
in which to dispose of the resolution.
Chairman Bryant and others tn ught
the best course was to refer it to Council,
and It was so ordered.
A bill of 5. F. Dyson & Bro, 81, for
crsyons, was ordered 10 be paid, as was
also hill # w E. Balm. So 20, for
sundr,4s and a bill of G. Il. Mcclure,

SOCkER TABU At
BASEBALL PARK
Seeker League Application Is
Turned Down by
lsenberg.

Football is tabu at the baseball
park.
The Hawaiian Association Football
League-the socker organization-has
been turned down in its application
for the grounds for its winter series
of games President Isenberg says
nothing but baseball can be played on
the grounds hereafter.
For the past three years the soeker
league has played it's series of games
on the baseball grounds, dividing gate
receipts with the trustees of the
grounds. The league has never par
ticularly favored charging gate money
for its games, and so this year it de-
cided, if it could get the baseball
grounds, to pay a fixed rental for the
grounds and throw the games open to
the public. 1t made application to
the trustees on this basis, but, as
stated above, has been turned down.
The first game of it's schedule was
to be played on New Years Day, but,
not having any grounds, this is i'm
possible But application has been
made for the use of the football
grounds at Punahou College, and if
these are secured there will be a game
on Saturday, the second game of the
schedule, as the schedule is arranged,
the first being indefinitely postponed.
The games will then be played regu-
larly according to the schedule.
There are four teams in the lea que
and practise has been going on stead
lily. The four teams are the Males,
the Punahous, the Diamond Heads and
the Y. NJ C. AS. There is material
for a junior league as well, but the
lack of grounds has so far prevented
it's organization.
The Makiki recreation grounds are
not available for match games because |
of the concrete cricket pitch. Prac-
tise, however, has been carried on at
these grounds.

SEATS REMAIN
Lady Mystery at the Baseball
Carnival Will Cause Many
GueSSeS.

There is very little heard in the line
of sports IN the city at present with
the exception of the Baseball carnival
which takes place at the League
grounds on New Years day afternoon.
The demand for seats has been so great
that yesterday afternoon, when the Ha-
waiian News Company closed, there
We're only 10 reserved seats left on
sale.
The fftv-cent seats in the grand
stand are not reserved and the first to
arrive will have the choice. The bleach
ers, at 25 cents, follow the same rule.
There is sure to be big crowd present
and they ought TO have good time
from the reports which come to hand.
The Grand March of the Floradora
sextet will be led by Lady *Anastasia
Mystery. Considerable mystery sur
rounds the person in question and those
who take part have solemnly sworn
to not to give away her identity. She
is a prominent society lady of the city,
who asked that she might be given
a chance to help out toward the en-
tertainment for the yacht, but would
only do so If her name could be kept
out. That she will be careful to hide
both before and after the show is GER
tain. A special hack will convey her
to the Hotel Baths, where the parade
viii start and she will get out, already
in costume. and when leaving the ball
gounds viii also have special car
riage to take her home.
Clarence Waterman will trip the light
fantastic among the others and Will
show how daintilv he can do fancy
dancing before the public. Special care
will be taken of "Transpacific' Nc
Inerny who viii be the Grand Mogul.
He will come in for round of pleas
ure, which is not on the program, but
that should occasion many a laugh and
in the josh.

Baldwin. in explanation of the figures,
"but I see no prospects of Kihei doing
any better. The. fact that there is no
eagerness to take hold of the property

about it,
TIME AND PAYMENTS.
Harry Armitage asked regarding the
time for the cash payment mentioned
in the resolution. He had understood
from L. A. Thurston, when the matter
was being discussed, that the payment
would be made on January 1. He also
wanted to know about the promissory
notes that the holders of over a thou
sand shares had agreed to take.
Mr.. Baldwin explained that on ac-
count of the present financial situation
it would be impossible to secure any
payments of cash in January AS for
the notes he expected that his would
be dated from July and run for one
or two years.
This question of big cash payment
at the present time has been the one
tAietb lAiC I1tN lldu tOUlIIleTGldl COM
pany has been sticking on explained
Mr.. Cooke. who went on to state that
the question of notes was not one for
the meeting to discuss. The payment
was to be regarded as a cash one so
far as the shareholders We're concerned,
although the privilege of taking notes
instead of cash was open to them ALL
w. o. Smith, who represented L. A.
Thurston by proxy, explained that if
the payment in January were insisted
on the deal could not be put through,
while Mr.. Baldwin stated that the ones
who proposed doing the buying did not
want 10 have their present monthly
dividends interfered with by having to
make any big cash payments at the
beginning of the year.
VOTE ONE SIDED.
The question on the resolution was
then called for. only two present, rep
resenting 775 shares, voting against the
resolution, these explaining that they
were voting stock the owners of which
opposed any deal which did not call
for the cash payment in January. The
vote stood: In favor of the resolution,
SS.S57; opposed, 775.
Immediately after the vote the meet
ing was adjourned.
