GYMkANA AND
POLO MATCH
A Thousand Spectators Watch
Shingles Reds Trim
FIeming's Blues.

I The beautiful Moanalua polo field
never appeared TO better advantage
than it did yesterday afternoon, sur
rounded by carriages and autos with
gay gowned inmates, hundreds of in
terested spectators perched on coigns
of vantage on the surrounding hillsides,
and on the stretch of level turf, the
pick of Oahu's horsemen struggled in
mimic combat. The afternoon was a
perfect one and the sports were well
over and the majority of the spectators
fairly started for home before the lit
tie shower of the evening came up.
The sports planned by the polo club
were carried off in splendid shape, the
various novelty races producing no end
of amusement and there being no acct
dents of a nature more serious than
to bring down upon the hapless ones,
the laughter Of their friends after the
thing was over.
The crowd gathered at the grounds
early, rather too early in the opinion
of the first corners, for the first race
was not started until half past two. At
this time fully a thousand people had
gathered. First came the egg and
spoon race, score of horsemen being
drawn in line and each given wooden
spoon and an egg, the object of the
race being to carry the egg in the
spoon over the course, which necessita-
ted the jumping of two hurdles. The
directions ana the course were plain,
but the keeping of the egg in the spoon
was not, and there was scurrying
back and forth on the part of the riders
for fresh eggs to replace those spilled
along the route. The hurdles were
where the majority came to grief. The
first man to cross the finish line with
his egg unbroken was George Denison.
There was a lively little time just
before this race started. Gerrit 2. Viii
der was distributing the eggs from a
bagful he carried. His approach was
not relished by the mount of T. B.
Sumner and the pony reared and in
coming down, bowled Mr.. Wilder over.
Not satisfied, the horse then kicked
him as he rolled and turned him over
couple of times, after which the steed
gave a bucking performance around the
track. Sumner stuck to him until the
horse slipped and rolled, but both got
up uninjnred. Sumner has only just
come out of the hospital, where he was
laid up with broken leg, and many
who saw the accident yesterday feared
that be had another break coming.

POLO PROVED EXCITING.

The polo contest, in which the Reds
faced the Blues was a splendid exhi-
| ton, fast and furious. The Reds, cap
tained by r. w. Single, proved al
together too much for Captain Flem-
ing's Blues. although the latter came
up strong at the finish and scored the
majority Of the goals in the two last
quarters.
The teams were made up as follows:
Reds-Ed. Lewis. George Denison, r.
". Single and Walter F. Dillingham;.
Blues-Wil Baldwin, C. H. Cooke,
Walter Macfarlane and John Fleming.
On the start the Reds took the ball
and rushed it through the poles for
the first goal in thirty-four seconds,
Denison doing the necessary, after he
had brought the sphere half way down
the field by a series Of clever strokes.
Shingle. who rode close behind, slam
med into the goal post, his horse
somersaulting with him, but without
serious results.
The Reds took the second goal in
forty-seven seconds, and the third af-
ter two more minutes play, Dillingham;
scoring with long. clean drive from
the middle Of scrimmage. In another
minute Denison had made it four TO
nothing. for the crimsons and Shingle
notched the fifth before the bell rang
for time.
In the second quarter the Blues had
the best of it at first, losing two ex-
cel1ent chances 10 score. The game by
this time had grown exciting, although
the scoring had been all on one side,

THE PAU RACE.

The second race was splendid one.
Eight ladies with extempore pau
skirts, raced half way around the polo
field, then dismounted, handed over
their pa-us to eight gentlemen, who
rode back over the couse to the start
ing point. The lady riders were Mrs.
Clifford Kimball, Miss Ella White, Miss
Alice Macfarlane, Mrs. George Potter,
Miss Muriel Campbell. Miss Mignon-
cite Parker, Miss Lawrence and Mrs.
]. Bergstrom. Miss Lawrence got well
away in the lead, but mistook the
course and lost by riding out of her
way. The transfer of costumes was
most amusing, the men struggling
most unmanfully in tying their gaudy
pa-us around them, but ali got off
pretty we'll in a bunch. W. Macfarlane,
who rode the mount Of his sister, Miss
Alice Macfarlane, won the race in a
close finish. W. Dillingham;, who was
well up in the bunch, had a spill, but
climbed back on his pony none the
worse for it.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-06-12

and continued so through the quarter
Dillingham; punching out another tally
from scrimmage before goal. The
Blues just missed scoring, a shot go
ing within a foot of the poles just as
the bell rang.
There was no scoring in the third.
but in the fourth the Blues took three

ing played a beautiful game. sharing
the honors of the contest with Dill

LOCOMOTIVE OFF TRACK;
PASSENGERS SHAKEN UP

PATTERSON. Dec. 21.-Passengers on
the Erie train leaving the Paterson
station at 1914 o'clock last night were
thrown into a panic shortly before the
train was due to pull into the main
station here by a sudden shock and
crash which brought the train to a
standstill and threw the passengers out
of their seats. 1t was at first believed
that there had been a collision, but
when the passengers came pouring out
of the cars they learned that the loco
motive had run off the tracks for some
unknown reason,
Fortunately the train was not NOV
ing rapidly, having just made the stop
at Harrison station. After the excite
ment had Gained down the train was
pulled into q switch near the station,
in order to allow a milk train to go
by, and after a delay of half an hour
a freight engine was secured, which
took the train as far as Carlton Hill.
Here another wait ensued until a loco
motive could be secured from Jersey
City. which finally landed the train and
its passengers in the station nearly an
hour and a half late.
