WALKING RACE
THE MAIN TOPIC
Will Figure on the Field Day
Program, but Will Not
Earn Points.

The meeting of the field day ath-
yesterday afternoon, was well attend
ed, the only club unrepresented being
the Tenth Infantry.
Present were E. Fernandez, Diamond
Heads; j. S. Reid, Oahu College; Dr.
Hand, 7. NJ. c. A; Rev. E. E. Turner,
Boys Clubs, w. Brissel, c. G. Living
stone, Kamehameha Schools: A. Pratt,
Rapid Transit A. c.; H ]. Aud. ka-
mehameha Alumni; J. A. Thompson,
ST. Louis College,; En- Sue Kong, Chi
nese Athletic Club
The first business transacted was the
election of permanent officers to man
age the championship meet which
takes place at the Boys Field on
March %.
Rev E. B. Turner was elected chair
man and c. j. Livingstone secretary.
The question of relay races was next
taken up.
A motion to have both a mile and
a half-mile relay was lost. as was an
other motion to have mile relay. A
motion 10 nave ndlI-iiiiie ieiaS Co
ried.
The question of the mile walk was
then dealt with.
It was decided to have the walk, out
not to allow points for it in the con-
test for the team championship. Inc
race will be open to anybody caring to
compete and medal will be awarded
the winner.
The argument against having the
walk count for points was that the
event is difficult to judge, that 1t de-
cided the athletic championship last
year, and that an event which can de-
eide the championship and at the same
time be hard to judge wasn't nj
event to influence any teams chance Of
winning the championship.
There were several lovers of walking
present who had a good word to say
for the sport. This will be the third
consecutive year that a race of the
kind has been held in Honolulu of re-
cent years, and the entry last year was
a great Improvement numerically over
the entry in the first race walked In
1905 The event in March promises to
be well supported.
1t was decided to have the regulation
