The Hawaiian gazette., 1907-02-26

A few minutes before 9 O'Clock the
first auto wheeled into the Capitol
grounds, the rallying point, this being
the elabor.,tely gotten up yacht Lei, en-
tered by the Waterhouse Trust compa
ny, with F. E. Steere appropriately at
the helm. This machine had no sooner
backed into its assigned position than
the big touring car Of j. A. McCand-
less, a mass of bright yellow chrysan-
themums, appeared upon the scene, to
be followed by the other many entries,
all of whom were halted on the Eva
side of the Capitol and snapped at by
a seemingly endless array of cameras
and kodaks.
Meanwhile the crowd was gathering,
until the grounds were filed by thou
sands Of admiring people, who crowd
ed about the machines, swarmed on
the lanais and zigzagged about the
grounds wherever there was anything
to see regardless of the wires stretch
ed along the walks. There was no dis
order at any time, however, and the
mounted patrolmen had small difficulty
at any time in clearing the roadways for
the machines and vehicles.
These latter lined up along the road
way at the Richards street entrance to
the grounds and had generous share
of the applause and appreciation Of
the big crowd. The decorated bicvcles,
too, which gathered at the Capitol
steps, forming bright group with
their multi-colored trimmings and uni
formed riders, were a pleasing feature
of the fiesta.
The pau riders and other equestrians
formeI into line in front of the drill
shed and had the opportunity of max
ing their first appearance to the throng-
ing spectators in body. This feature
of the parade was novel sight to the
many tourists present, the dashing
riders, their bright flowing costumes,
grouped to the best possible advantage,
enthused even the kamaainas, more or
less accustomed to displays of Hawai-
ian horsemanship, and loud and hearty
was the applause the ladies received.
Following them came the island prin-
cesses, five principal islands of the
group being each represented by one of
their fairest daughters, riding in pau
costume and preceded by herald, bear
ing their colors and banner. This new
feature of the parade proved most
successful and the various princesses
were cheered as their mounts curvetted
and pranced past the Capitol, the ap-
plause being led by the Governor g
party and the Admiral and officers of
the Japanese feet, who watched from
the upper balcony.
There were too few decorated vehi-
cles, but the ones in line were hand

wound with yellow cloth of CORE
spending shade. The machine was guild
ed by Miss Madge McCandless, with
her being Miss Schaefer, Miss Lorna
Iaukea, Miss Patty and Mrs. Boedeofeld.
These young ladies were charming in
white dresses and white hats, trimmed
with chrysanthemums, and carried pale
yellow parasols. A third prize for
beauty of design went to this entry.
Japanesque to degree was the tour
ing ear of Governor Carter, which had
been loaned for the parade to the Japa-
nese squadron, the handsome decora-
tions being the work of the men of the
cruisers, all done during the night be-

Hawaiian Band filed the seats in the
leading tallyho, the two others in line
being from the Hawaiian Hotel, one
of them bearing the Western Tours
party, periodically wearing the stars
and stripes.
THE AUTOMOBILES.
The number of automobiles particip-
,ating in yesterdays parade was smaller
than was the case last year, but there
were a sufficient number to show what
results can be obtained in transform
ing the bubble machine into bowers
of blossoms, boats and even as improb-
able a creation as reeking, fiery vol
cano. Many of the designs this year
were beautiful and nearly all showed
originality in treatment and lavish
disregard of expense and trouble in
their preparation.
The touring car of C. M. Cooke, to
which the first prize banner was award
ed in its class, was most elaborate
Chinese design, glittering in gold and
silver tinsel, hung with dainty lanterns
and decked with clusters of peacock
feathers, dragons and hangers. The
occupants, Miss Violet Damon, Miss
Juliet Cooke, Mrs. George Cooke, Miss
Judd and Richard A. Cooke, were at
tired in elaborate Chinese garments,
not detail down to the golden hair
ornaments being omitted. This car
and its occupants was greatly admired
along the route of the parade and no
criticism of the choice of the judges
can be made in awarding to it the
banner Of excellence, although in max
ing the selections among the best half
dozen cars the judges had task
worthy of Paris.
Daintily beautiful was the "Sweet
Lavender" touring car entered by Mrs.
Fl. M. Ballou. This design was much
less striking than that of the daz-
zling Chinese prize-winner, but in it's
own way it was not less worthy. Vista
ria blossoms had been most effectively
used over the lavender trimmings of
the body of the machine, lavender tulle
being festooned over the whole. The
gowns of the ladies occupying the seats
matched the color scheme perfectly,
their hats, gloves and parasols being
also of the prevailing tone. The ladies
were Mrs. Ballou, Mrs. Harry Mac
farlane, Mrs. George Fairchild and Miss
Lady Macfarlane. The car was driven
by s. M. Ballou. The second prize for
Class A was awarded to the "Sweet
Lavender" car.
The same thorough carrying out of
a beautiful color scheme was shown
in the McCandless entry, the machine
being completely banked with huge
yellow chrysanthemums and the wheels

R0BBER CAUGHT A
HOT PROPOSITION

NEW YORK, November 11.-Walter
Coughlin of the Soho section Of Bloom
field, N. J., IS a muscular young fellow
and a good sparrer. He was engaged TO
spar at a stag entertainment in Newark
Saturday night. and although he put up
good fight his adversary got the decision
and Coughlin got the small end of the
small purse
Naturally, Coughlin was in precious bad
humor when he returned to Bloomfield
about midnight. One OF his eyes was eX
tremely painful, various bruises irked
him; in a word, he was sore in body and
mind.
He was walking along Harrison street
near the Bloomfield line when a highway
man jumped from behind a tree, con-
fronted Coughlin and ordered savagely:
Hands up
Coughlin put up his hands. but not in
the pacific way the footpad had antici-
pated. He smashed the highwayman on
the nose and then gave him punch that
knocked all the wind out of him. He
walked around that astonished highway
man. hitting him when and where he
pleased until the fellow begged for mercy.
Finally Coughlin hit the thief on the
point of the jaw and knocked him out.
Then Coughlin walked away feeling much
better and with the small end Of the
small purse in his pocket still.

DIABOLO BECOMING A
RECOGNIZED SPORT
From the New York World.

FROM the New 10TH WI
The forming of club devoted to the
game of diabolo has increased interest
in the sport in this city, and it now
bids fair to become popular under the
furtherance of the new organization
called the Colonial Club Although the
game has been played by some in this
country for two years past, as yet 1t IS
little known here.
There is scarcely a man, woman or
child in Europe. especially in London and
Paris. who is not familiar with it. In
those cities it is played by almost as
many as play base ball in this country.
1t is often called biabe, avilo and me-
phisto.
Under one form or another the game
is very ancient. coming out of the far
east 1t is said to have taken wonder
full hold on the people of the continent
and has ousted for the time being every
other game Young and old, rich and
poor, are now amusing themselves with
dabolo. They play 1t everywhere-in-
doors. on the street. IN the public parks,
anywhere they can find space. There are
dabolo clubs. diabolo tournaments and
diabolo champions.
Diabolo mephisto. avilo. or by what
ever name it is known, is the revival of
a game practiced throughout ages in
China. and which was fashionable in
France ana In England DIT lile DeSlllliS
of the last century. Two cones, perfect
Nv balanced are united end to end, and
this is spun. thrown and caught by means
of a cord attached at the ends Of two
sticks.
1t is said that it is an easy matter to
make this cone spin with such rapidly
that. on the priciple of gyroscope top. 1t
retains it's balance on the string. This
being accomplished, the performer losses
the cone aloft, sending it as high as fifty
feet if he wishes, deity catching it again
upon the string as it descends. The num-
Der of times the cone can be caught
without it's touching the ground indi-
Gates the proficiency OF the player in
singles. The thing can be worked
also on the principle of tennis-pairs or
auartets stationing themselves at va
rious parts of a court ana passing the
cone back and forth.
The rules and instructions say that by
holding one stick the Left at the height
of the hip and moving the right stick
up and down the cone can be made to
revolve rapidly like a top. But that is
what the rules say. A trial practically
soon convinces the performer that the
rules-well, to put it mildly, the rules are
evidently mistaken.
One thing in the rules that the be-
ginner can subscribe to is that it takes
long practice to become expert The
cone can be started readily enough, but
getting II to continue to reyO.ve in the
same direction with anything like speed
will soon be found to be an entirely diff
ferent matter. The beginner finds that
the cone persists In revolving the other
way, or in falling off the string. or If
perchance it remains on the string, the
string itself persists in cutting up I'M
eXpectedly and twists itself about the
cone in a most aggravating manner.

OF MARYLAND
Special Dispatch to The Star.

COLLEGE PARK. November I1-Next
Saturday afternoon the foot ball game
that will decide the intercollegiate cham
pionship of Maryland will be played here
between st. Johns College Of AnnanoIis
and Maryland Agricultural College. IN
tense interest is manifested. and as con-
siderable rivalry exists between the two
contestants, stubborn contest is antici-
pated. st. Johns College defeated West
ern Maryland Saturday by II to &. and
Maryland Agricultural College defeated
Washington College at Chestertown by
the score of 10 to s. On the previous
Saturday st. John defeated WASHINGTON
College 80 to 0. 1t would appear there
fore, that on form st. John should beat
Maryland Agricultural College. The lat
ter eleven claim. however, that they made
three touchdowns which the referee would
not allow. According to Capt. Byrd Of
the Aggtes the ball went over Wash
ineton Colleges goal line three times,
but was pushed back after the point had
been scored. Capt. Byrd is in bad shape.
but Coach Church expects to have him
in trim by next Saturday. Byrd declares
that his team will have one of the hard

Columbia Nav Resume Foot Ball.

With the retirement of Francis Bangs
as chairman of the Columbia University
athletic committee and the installation of
a man who is strongly favorable to the
CANA there is strong chance for the
Columbians to be repre- sented on the grid
iron once more in the near future. 1t is
true that President Butler remains an i'm
placaole foe to the game, but with the
vast Improvement which the new rules
and control have wrought in the game
his opposition can Re broken down. The
opponents OF the old game are gradually
being won over to the new. both among
the trustees and the faculty. This force
is now being exerted in favor of the game
and with the entire student and alumni
bodies clamoring for the resumption of
the game it is likely to come at any
moment.
