Reports from Hiio indicate that
preparations for the mig race meet OH
Jan. 1 and 2 are progressing smooth
ly. There is every indication that
the classes will be well filled and
that the entry list will be OF par
ticuary enticing grade. 80
The promoters OF the meet are
making particular arrangements for
the events limited to Hawaiian-bred
horses, and the showing OF steeds Of
Island nativity will be particularly
satisfactory to horssmen OF the Ter
ritory. II is rumorcd that some very
classy animals will be on hand to
uphold the dignity Of Hawaii. and
that citizens OF the Territory will
have no cause to be ashamed OF their
equine representatives.
The attractive purses which have
been offered for the various events
will doubtless prove strong incen-
tive to horse-owners and no pains
will be spared to have all Of the
horses that compete trained to a
point where they will be able to make
the best possible showing.
The jumping events will be par
ticularly interesting. At least one
.steeple-chaser has been brought here
from the mainland tor the meet and
there are on the Islands some jump
ers who. horse experts say. are wor-
thy Of competing in almost any COM
pany.
The events for japanese ponies
promise to furnish plenty Of enter
tainment. Scores Of the wiry little
beasts are being gotten into training
for the occasion. and the purses will

II some enterprising sportsman
wants to furnish a little entertain
ment for the world-at-large. he might
make. arrangements to charter a few
Japanese sampans and fix up sam
pan regatta. Under the skilled hand
ling Of the Mikado's subjects, the
sampans seem to be capable Of maxi
ing pretty good speed. II about ten
of the boats were to race over. say. a
flve-mile course, without sails hut
propelled by sweeps, the contest
would certainly furnish plenty OF
amusement, for the man on shore.
The manner in which the stocky Jap.
anese boatmen drive their craft
through the water when wind there
is none, must commend itself to the
admiration of any man who likes to
see people work. That propelling a
sampan would be good training for a
fighter who wishes to develop his
wind there can be no doubt. About
six weeks on the sampan should act
as sovereign anti-fat remedy. On
the whole. the 8. +. believes that he
can recommend the sampan to all
muscle-grinders who are tired oil
stereotyped stunts.

Probably In no other part OF the
United States does the game OF base.
ball hold undisputed sway as 1t does
In this Territory, and in Honolulu
particularly. To be sure. every small
boy born under the Stars and Stripes
learns to handle ball and glove just
about as soon as he can walk, but his
efforts are usually confined to play
ing one-o'-cat In some vacant lot.
When a nine is organized, 1t is rare
ly affiliated with any other organi-
zation, and games are played just
about when his majesty the sovereign
American youngster feels the spirit
move within him. There are usual
ly several leagues Of greater or lesser
Importance In the lPrger cities, but
their seasons are brief and, except in
the case OF professional players, 1t
would be a diniculr matter to keep
the members up to the mark through
a very long series. Certainly Young
America in Honolulu is putting the
mainland-born variety to shame as
far as the great American game of
baseball is concerned.

SPOUTS BY THE
SPORTING EDITOR


Whether or not the 1nter-1sland
Steam Navigation Company runs the
Mauna Kea to Hilo for the New
Years race meet will depend entire
ly on how fast the bookings come In.
When the special excursion rate OF
SIS to Hilo and return was announc-
ed for New Years, II was supposed
that there would be a general rush
to take advantage of the opportunity.
As the regular round trip fare Is $25,
the reduction made for the special
excursion is quite liberal one.
Though the race meet at Hilo should
prove a big attraction to lovers Of
horse flesh. there has been but little
activity shown In booking, and there
is some danger that the special ex-
cursion may not be made after all.
when once the company has made
arrangements to run the Mauna kea
on the excursion, 1t will have to do
SO whether there ars any passengers
or not. for the ship Is a mail steamer
and the postoffice authorities have
something to say in The matter. Those
who want to go to Hilo and back for
SIS had better make haste and COM
municate with the Offices Of the
steamship company.

Nathan Strauss, the great Merchant
Of New York, and chairman Of the
Democratic Business Mems League
speaking IN New York on October Is,
said:
1.-THE panic which began last fall is
the Greatest Panic The World Has
Ever Known. That is a stroag state
ment, but mean it. We are not over
it yet. Politics was the cause Of this
panic. All big legislation in this
country has been dominated by trusts
and big corporations in the intesest Of
the republican party.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY's OWN
ANSWER
In his address to the republican ma
tional convention, Temporary Chair
man Burrows referred to the republi-
crn victary in 1904, and then asked.
'sIn view Of this Endorsement, 1t be-
Games pertinent and opportune 70 in
quire what has the republican party
done in the last four years Of govern
ment control to forfeit public conf :
dencs or create distrust in its capacity
for future Administrations"
For this question the Roc hes teri New
York; Union and Advertises fiEds q
striking answer. This il the answer
which the Union and Advertiser takes
out Of the mouth of Senator Burrows
own party as stated in the republican
platform Of 1895: I'm the broad effect
Of its policy it has precipitated panic,
blighted industry and trade with pro.
longed depression, closed factories, re-
duced work aud wages, halted enter
prize and crippled American produc-
ton. Every consideration of public
safety and individual interest demands
that the government shall be rescued
from the hands of those who have
shwn themselves incapable of cauduct-
ing 1t without disaster
