PALAMAS WIN
FIRST SERIES

The usual large crowd witnessed the
ball games of the Riverside League at
Aala Park yesterday afternoon.
The Palamas whipped the Chinese
Athletics in the first game, defeating
them by the score of to 2.
The losers were handicapped by the
absence of Akina, Eddie Ayau and
Mon Yin. Notwithstanding this, how.
ever, the Chinese made good fight of
it. Espinda and Kama both played
star games.
The second game, between the
Kaalas and the Japanese Athletics, was
not up to the standard, and errors were
very numerous. The Japanese played
up grandly, and defeated the Kaalas by
the score of to Z.
The Palamas are now champions OF
the first series, and their chance Of
landing the pennant Seems bright.
There will be no more games played
under the auspices OF the Riverside
League until the completion of the tri
angular series between the Keios, Santa
Claras and the Honolulu Baseball
League. The next league games will
probably be played ON August o.

JOCK FERRE|RA'S
SAD EXPERIENCE

Jockey Ferreira returned from Hilo
races yesterday morning, He showed
greatly improved form and had a very
successful meeting, bringing six horses
under the wire first during the two
days of racing.
Ferreira stated last night that he
didn't get square deal across the
water and that the other jockeys tried
to give him the worst of it whenever
chance offered.
He brought back couple of badly
discolored optics, which he explains as
follows:
.'The boys over there were jealous
because i won so many races, and tried
to do me dirt. They did me up, but
/ got the money all right.
Early on Saturday morning, Jockey
Everson, who was riding for Richard
son and o 'Rourke, came up to me and
wanted to scrap. We mixed it and L
knocked him down. Then Willis, the
jockey; Clarence, the coon; Everson
and three native boys set on me and
beat me up, their idea being to fix
me 80 that / couldn t ride that day.
'Bruner was in great shape and
would never have been beaten if the
last race of the meeting, won by John
o 'Rourke's Frolic, had been run on
the square.
'We were at the post in the last
race waiting for the starter when a
man on a horse came along and said
that Willis hadn't got his right weight.
Willis was told to go back and weigh
out properly, but refused to do SO, and
the race was started. Willis was on
Frolic, I was on Bruner, Everson was
on Yolo Girl and Japanese rider was
on Banonica. The race finished with
Frolic first, Yolo Girl second, and
Bruner third.
CATER Willis had dismounted, Clar-
ence, the coon, threw blanket over
Frolic and at the same time slipped
about fifteen pounds of lead where they
should have been during the race, so
that when Willis weighed in his weight
was found to be o. K. 1t was a dirty
steal, all right. Some people made a
holler about it, but nothing came of
it, and Frohc got the money"
Ferreira will return to the Coast to
ride in the near future.

Governor Allen Gard OF IaDao, PHI

ed by the Moros last February, being
slashed by bolos welded by hostiles,
is patient in the Sheridan's hospital
on his way to the mainland for treat
ment of his wounds. He has been
lowering between life and death for
several months, and the doctors de-
cided that the only chance he had vas
to get to New York, whore special
be given him.
Their Governor being helpless and his
condition such that his transfer to the
mainland was a matter of life and
death, the Moro Government appropri-
ated 5000 pesos to dcfray his expenses.
He is receiving every possible care and
attention aboard the big troopship and
feels that his trip thus far has been

SUMMARY OF
H|LO RACES

The people of Hilo showed their pa.
triotism fttingly by the way they cele-
brated the national holiday in their lit.
tie town.
At Mooheau Park, there were literary
exercises and children Is races IN the
morning, and at the Hoolulu park were
horse racing and cowboy stunts.
At the latter place, Bruner and Indi.
60, two Honolulu horses, belonging to
Louis Warren, seemed to have much
their own way. Bruner won everything
but the last race and III that race it
is claimed he was given bucket of
water just prior to the start
The football game between the Hilo
and Honolulu boys was fast one, being
won by the Hilo team by score of
two to one. The Honolulu boys were
only off the boat an hour when the
game started and allowances have to be
made as quite few of them were con-
fined to their hunks on the trip over.
The cowboy carnival was not as
elaborate one as the recent Honolulu
affair, but nevertheless brought out
many good riders and ropers.
The following is a condensed report
of the outcome of the races:

Dear Sir: The beautiful yacht Ha-

evening, the 2lst, and we are proud
of her All who have seen her say
she is the finest craft of her kind that
has come to this coast, and there seems
to be general desire that she VIM
the race, as it would stimulate the de.
sire for better class of yachts On
this coast, and continuance of rae
ing in these waters. | am pleased with
the prospect of our winning the
coup" Captain Harris wished me TO
inclose a few lines from him. He says.
there will be no liquor on board when
the Hawaii leaves port, and he VIE
win the race or sail the sticks out OF
her, if that were possible-"G me
the wind and we will win.'' Every
thing is being done rs well as possible
to have her in trim for the Fourth,
when she will start on her triumphal
trip across the Pacific to show the
other yachts the way to sail to tho
islands.
The fact of the Hawaii being built
and equipped and entered in this race
by popular subscription has made the
people here appreciate what kind Of
people we have at the islands, and win
advertise the islands more than can be
estimated. i am very sorry that one
of you could not have come up to rep
resent the club; possibly someone win
come on n later steamer SO as to b.
here by the Fourth hope 80.
With very kind regards and three
cheers for the winning yacht--it win

WEATHER FOR SALT LAKE.
OFFICIAL FARCE COMEDY.

1t is clear from the initial hearing Of
the charges against Jake Raleigh, the
city superintendent of streets. that the
council is in no mood for serious con-
sideratiOn of trivial accusations. IN
deed, the first bits of evidence showed
the city fathers in a mood to regard
the whole proceedings as a pleasing bit
of farce comedy staged for the enjoy
ment of the multitude.
When the mayors secretary attest
ell that Raleigh had done work on the
secretary's premises with city teams
at no expense to the secretary, the
solons gravely nodded approval Of
Sandy's declaration that such proceed
ings We're customary and regular
When another witness intimated that
some one had been getting a rake-off
under a new and rather obscure title
known at footing" and that this
touching tribute was paid out of the
wages of the department employees, it
was hailed as a lovely joke Through
out the session there was apparent
disposition To handle the investigation,
not as d serious inquiry into matters
affecting a mans official probity, but
as an amusing incident in politics
which could not by any possibility call
for the dignity and formality of court
procedure.
AS 10 Raleigh's execution of private
work with city-paid teams or his per-
sonai gain through a public position,
little evidence has been adduced so far.
1t seems established. however. that it
is a custom and has been in this de-
partment TO utilize street department
employees and teams for excavation
and removal OF earth from private
premises, either with or without pay
ment from the property owner. If the
earth excavated was used on the
streets it has been taken for granted
the city had no interest in the profit
derived from the private work and no
concern as 10 possible revenue from
such a source.
The corporation or individual who
could reduce his expenses by securing
revenue from such work would not
tolerate such a system as The city is
said to approve; and whether Raleigh
has followed the practice or not, it is
about time for the management of the
city 10 correct the system. Further,
the Raleigh investigation ought to be
conducted with some attempt at de
corum or it ought TO be adjourned in
definitely with the announcement that
II was never intended seriously and
has ceased 10 be amusing TO the pub
lie, which finally pays the bill
Meanwhile, it viii be observed that
the plaintiff and defendant in the case
as well as the witnesses, are all mem
bers of the patriot" party. whose sole
mission and high calling was the re-
demption of a burdened community
from the graft of mere partisan office
holders.
