wrecked buildings in the vicinity OF
the mine, and the condition of the few
bodies found early in the rescue

terrific force that it seems impossible
that any one could have survived it.
All of the thirteen bodies taken out up
to this writing are terribly mutilated,

Church Holiday Saves Many Lives.
That this disaster does not equal or
even surpass in loss of life and at
tendant horrors the one in West Vir-
ginia is due to the devotion to church
duties of a considerable number of the
miners. In observance of the church
festival many of the four hundred or
more men regularly employed at the
mine did not go to work. Those who
escaped through this reason are mem
beTs of the Greek church, and they sus-
pended work to celebrate st. Nicholas
Day. AS was the case at Monongah
the explosion followed a brief shut
down, the Darr mine having been
closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

MAUI JUDGES
COMPL AINED Of
Alleged UnfairnesS in Action of
Officials on WaiIuku
Race Track.
Waikiki, July 5, 1907.


| Editor Advertiser: Kindly insert in
your valuable paper the following arti-
Gle in justice to one who was unduly
deprived of the glory of a victory and
ruled off the Kahului race track yes
terday by the judges, on the ground of
an alleged foul.
The aggrieved party was Domingoes
Ferreira who rode LauIii fairly to vic
tory in the half mile dash between
Hawaiian bred horses.
1t appears that at the first turn Lau-
lii was in the middle, there being
three horses in the race, ar&l all bunch
ed together. when suddenly the horse
on the outside bumped into Laulii,
throwing him against VIM. Robinson's
horse who was on the inside. The al
legged foul did not in any way inter-
fere with the result of the race. The
race was easily won by Laulii by three
lengths in 81.
Upon returning to the judges stand
the judges announced that they had
given the race to Mr.. Robinson's horse
upon the ground of foul and that they
had ruled Domingoes off the track for
that reason.
After the races were over one Of the
judges told Domingoes that they would
reinstate him, but Domingoes would
not see it that way and refused to-
accept the offer.
The general talk around Maui is that
inasmuch as a certain person had en-
tered his plugs" in four other races
that were to take place after Domin-
Id he &c iyoA
ence in having Domingoes ruled off on
the ground of cold feet"
The action of the judges was met
with considerable unfavorable comment
from the large crowd present, the
crowd having demonstrated a popular
feeling for DomingOes early in the day.
Domingoes rode his first race to vic
tory on Defender in the three-quarter
mile dash in 1:24. He would have rid
den eight races altogether had it not
been for the action of the judges.
Four of his horses were in the pink
of condition and were sure winners.
The proper course for the judges to
have taken would have been to run the
race over again as it was not an in
territorial foul. It was unjust and I'M
fair to have ruled him off for an acct
dent
In the interest of good clean sports
manship the judges should have re-
served their decision until they had as
certained the true facts and not done
Domingoes this injustice.
Domingoes is a good, clean sportsman
and a good jockey.
Kindly give this as much public no.
tice as possible.
Before the fourth Domingoes rode
White Ghost to victory in two match
races in very clever style. He has GER
tainly made his mark as a jockey.
Respectfully yours,
D. CARRYME.

PRINCESS WINS
COOPER CUP
Good Race for Small Yachts
Over Pearl Harbor
Course.

The race held at Pearl Harbor yes
terday for the Commodore Cooper Cup
for second-class yachts was won by the
Princess in a good contest If the

would have pleased the yachtsmen bet
ter but the day was unusually success
full. There were about 40 members of

which was gwen at the conclusion of
the race, and the Governor s Cup was
presented to Robert Scott, the owner
of the Kamehameha, by Commodore
Cooper. The Commodore also present
ed the Cooper Cup to Prince Cupid, the
owner of the Princess.
The winning yacht sailed fine race
and won over the Maggie, which was on
scratch, by seven minutes and six sec
onds, actual time. The handicaps were
very carefully made by the regatta
committee and gave general satisfac-
ton. All the yachts finished within 20
minutes of the leader and the contest
was very close
The Chip, the new boat, which had
never been in a race before, was given
five minutes handicap, but finished last
and was rather disappointment The
Malolo finished second, less than five
minutes behind the Princess, while the
Skip was only minute behind the sec

1t was decided not to try race
between the larger yachts on account
of the light wind and the fact that
some of the yachts were not prepared
for racing. The handicaps and cor

PALAMAS BEAT
CHINESE ALOHAS
Good Games of Baseball Are
Played in Riverside
League.

| The last games in the first series of
the Riverside League, played yester-
day afternoon at Aala Park, were wit
messed by several hundred interested
spectators and were full of excitement
from beginning to end
The first game, between the Chinese
Alohas and the Palama A. c., resulted
in victory for the natives. The
Alohas discovered that the Hawaiians
were much more difficult to meet than
the soldiers Of the goth Infantry. How
ever, the Alohas were handicapped.
Some of the regular players did not
put in an appearance and substitutes
were required to fill the places.
The Alohas did we'll for the first three
innings, shutting out the natives, but
in the fourth the Palamas scored the
four runs that gave them the game.
The Alohas made run in the first in
ming and another in the fourth, the
only two runs they made in the game.
The game was we'll played by both
teams with few errors. The score was
to in favor of the Palama A. c.
In the second game, between the
Kaala A. c. and the Chinese A. c.,
the Chinese players were a little too
much for the Kaalas. John Lo was in
better shape than ever in the pitchers
box and did well, striking out eight
men and permitting none to walk. The
game was full OF fun for the spectators
Nisel Jackson did some good coaching
for the Chinese and at times some of
the haoles present called Nigel
white Chinaman without a queue"
The game was a complete victory for
the Chinese A. G. who hit the ball of
Heine, the pitcher of the Kaalas, all
over the field and into the river. In
the eighth inning, the Kaalas found
that Heine was too easy for the Chi
nese ball players and Manuel Correa
came to the rescue. He did well for
the last two innings. The score stood
to in favor of the Chinese A. c.
