QUEBEC, Canada, July 26.-The ten
battleships gathered here as repre-

Punahou and Santa Clara were the
victors Saturday afternoon at the
league grounds, the Puns easily de-
feated the Keios by SO score, and
the Kams went down to defeat at the
hands of the collegians by a 1873 score.
Both games were brilliant at times
with good plays, although the games
were not as good as they might have
been. The Rams were certainly in bad
luck Reuter- being as wild as a March
hare and for that reason the Santa
Clara players had little trouble in hit

Punahou, pitched a beautiful game

decisions were hooted, but that has tc

COULD NOT GET
MONEY ENOUGH
WHY THE ALAKEA STREET
WHARF BIDS WE'RE ALL TURN
ED DOWN.

The turning down of all the bids
for the new Alakea wharf shed has
caused some comment in this city
and John Hughes, who was the lowest
bidder, feels very much agrieved at
the action taken by the Superinten-
dent of Public Works. 1t is under
stood that the trouble was caused by
the failure of certain steamship
company to keep up to an agreement
which had been tentatively made.
The money available from the ap-
preparation by the Legislature amount
ed to $4,000 In addition to this
liberal fund from the steamship con-
Germ, which would derive great benefit
from the new structure, was expected,
but did not materialize. With the
additional money which was expected
from this source there would have
been enough to complete the work
Without this money the plans must be
changed, for the Attorney-General has
held that the Superintendent of Pub
lie Works must not contract for a
greater amount of work than he has
money available.
An attempt was made to scale the
figures down to an amount which
would come within the sum which
could be used, but this was found i'm
possible and new bids will be called
for on modified plans. This will be
done as quickly as possible.
