HUNTINGTON is READY.
League Season to Be Given Auspic-

Huntington. Ind. May 2.-Secretary
Carl Willis of the Huntington base
ball association announced today that
extensive preparations are under way
to give the |. O. base ball season in
Huntington an suspicious opening
when Muncie appears in this city
Tuesday next. A city band will be en-
gagged to head proce ssiOn of the
Huntington and MunCie teams, league
and association officials, city officials
and members of the proposed Hunt
ington RoOter club. The line of march
has not yet been decided upon, but it
will include most of the main down
town streets. At league park. Mayor
y. c. Anderson will be invited TO at

where near the home plate. Members

who can be said to be a really good
player. They have only taken the
game up recently and have not had
time to show up in any good form,
though there are several who may de-
velop very well. I have had about a
dozen take lessons from me and they
seem to find great interest in the
game and more are taking it UP right
along.
when you ask about the links
cannot say very much in their praise.
All the links on the island are very
poor Those at Moanalua are the best,
but they are all too short Take those
at the Country Club. for instance.
There is only, one hole that requires
more than twol shots There should be
longer holes, which would give oppor-
tunity for more wooden play. The
nine hole course here is not over 2500
yards and it should be at least 5000.
There are no bunkers here whatever,
though of course they can be put in.
Another trouble here comes with
the green's. These are better at Mo-
anaIua and Haleiwa than at the Coun-
try Club. The outside green's are all
right but the putting greens are like
a sponge and do not give good player
a chance, for the ball will not roll.
We are planting new grass here, which
it is hoped will be very much better.
1t will be a combination of Kentucky
blue grass and chewin fekcue, though
the seed of the latter which has been
obtained is not at all satisfactory and
feel sure is of some other variety
than that ordered. There is so much
rain. up here that the grass on the
green's should grow finely and the
greens here should be the best to be
had. In australia we use an English
grass on the green's but have to water
it. Here there will be no water need
ed, as the heavy dews in the mornings
are almost as good as rain, and the
grass viii grow without any trouble.
I'VE have a grass in Australia which
is almost exactly like your manienie

PRESENTS MADE
TO NEW YACHT

Donations for the transpacific yacht
Hawaii still continue to come in and
are most acceptable to the committee
which is handling the building and
equipment of the schooner. Yesterday
Ehlers & Co. notified Secretary Nc
Inerny that they We're prepared to fur
nish the bed linen which will be need
ed for the new vessel. This will in
clude the sheets, pillow cases. and other
material and will form quite an item.
Shortly after the word Of this liberal
donation had been received Mrs. Dex-
ter. the superintendent of the Girls
Industrial Home, notified the commit
tee that her institution would be only
TOO glad to see that the sheets and
pillow cases We're made up. This offer
was also very acceptable and use will
be made of it. Another don alton re-
ceived yesterday was in the form IF
a book on navigation, which was pre-
scented to the yacht by w. C. Lyon.
This will be of use as it gives the sig
nal codes which are to be used with
flags at sea.
The insurance on the yacht was in
creased yesterday from $4500 to $500,
showing the work which has been done
on the vessel in the past few weeks
AS the new schooner nears completion
the insurance will keep on rising till
it amounts to about $4,000. The total
value of the vessel will probably be
several thousand dollars more than
this. as the many donations have help
ed to keep the cost down.
Curiosity in regard to the entertain
ment which will be given on the even
ing of Washington's Birthday at the
Seaside hotel is very great, but Mana
ger Jim Wilder does not care to
make his plans public as yet. Those
who will take part in the entertain
ment will probably ride on special
float in the floral parade on Washing
toms Birthday.

MONGOOSE HOUND
THE LATEST CANINE

To Hawaii in general and to Messrs.
ciers, in particular, belongs the credit
of having introduced a new breed to
the great family of dog. The latest
in dogs is a mongoose hound and from
all accounts it's a wonder.
Paddy Ryan declares that the intro
duction of the mongooser will mark
the greatest epoch in canine history
since the discovery of the fox-terrier
which occurred quite a spell of years
ago.
The two individuals named have been
experimenting for four years with the
view of breeding a dog which could
be relied upon to kill the elusive mon
goose in all weathers and at any time
of the day, night or year. AT last he
claims to have succeeded and is proud
~ showing to his friends a litter of
i've tiny doglets prettily marked with
black and tan and only a couple of
weeks old
The new breed" said Ryan yester-
day, will be known as the Hawaiian
hound and We shall have the puppies
on exhibition in a few weeks. The dog
will be low to the ground and admir-
ably adapted to chase mongoose as it's
long, low body will permit it to make
rapid progress through the under-
brush in which the mongoose takes
refuge when pursued. It's ears will be
long like a. daschund's but its nose
won't be as snippy as the German.
dogs. In appearance, however it will
resemble the dachshund somewhat, but
will be more stumpy and altogether a |
better and stronger dog"
Two previous filters of the mongoose
hound have been born but only two |
of the puppies were saved, the remain

vivors died and the other in number /

DIAMOND HEAD
TAKE UP ROW|NG
Athletic Club Has Decided to
Compete in Races in
karbOr.

The Diamond Head Athletic Club
will enter crews in the races which
will be held in the harbor on July 4.
This was decided recently by a COM
mittee appointed by the club at its
last meeting to investigate the matter.
The announcement has been received
with pleasure by the members of the
other boat clubs who will be only too
glad to see a third entry in the rowing
line.
For many years the Healani and
Myrtle clubs have had a monopoly of
the rowing contests and to have a
third crew, will mean far more inter
esting races than have been seen in
the past The Diamond Head Athletic
club has many of the best athletes in
the city on it's rolls and should be
able to get together a fast aggrega-
ton.
There is only one matter which will
have to be taken care of, that is the
obtaining of a barge to use for the
races. There are several barges in the
city, belonging to the Healanis and
the MyrtIes, which might be loaned to
the Diamond Heads and it is possible
that some such arrangement can be
made for the good of the sport. If it
is found impossible, the Heads will
probably find means to have a barge
built on the Coast and shipped down
here.
One of the first steps to be taken
will probably be in the line of an APP
plication for membership in the Ha-
waiian Rowing Association. This will
enable the newcomers in rowing to get
a general insight into the work which
viii have to be done before the races.
From the way they have always taken
up sport they should be successful in
their new field.

HAS NO FIRST
CLASS PLAYER
Neither Golfers Nor Links Are
UD TO Standard of Other
Countries.

The golf players of Honolulu are far
behind the times and will need plenty
of hard practice and instruction before
they will be able to show form which
will entitIe them to compete with the
golfers from other countries. The links
in this city do not compare with those
to be found elsewhere, though they
may be changed and become as good
as any to be found. These sentiments
were expressed yesterday by Alexan-
der McLaren. the golf expert from
Australia, who has been in this city
for the last two months giving les
sons 10 the local people who play the
Scotch game.
In speaking of golf in this city Mr..
McLaren said:
Golf in Honolulu is far behind the
times and needs to pick up a great
deal before it can compare with the
game as it is played elsewhere. There
are natural reasons for this and it is
nothing of which the local players
should be ashamed. In the first place
there are comparatively few golf play
ers in the city, though there are a
great many when the small number of
white people here is taken into ac-
count. For that matter the interest
here is far greater than thought it
would be- Every day there are many
players on the Country Club links and
they are unusually enthusiastic over
the game.
Another reason that golf is not as
far ahead here as it might be, is that
there has never been a teacher of the
game here. In golf one should start
under instruction. With a man who
has played the game for two or three
years it is hard to take him in hand
and correct his faults. On the other
hand with a new man. who has never
played the game before, he may be
taught right from the first and will
learn quickly. I would a great deal
rather take an entirely inexperienced
man and teach him, than a sef-taught
man of two or three years experience.
There is mot a single first class
player in the city. In fact there is not
a man here who would be entitled to
first rank in the second class. The
players from this city would be out
.classed in Australia, though to some
extent this is natural, as there are so
many more players there from whom
to draw. I should say that the best
players of this city probably are Har-
old Giffard, Austin White and Frank
Halstead. They all play a. good game,
but by no means first-class one.
About young Austin White? Yes,
he plays a good game for a boy, very
good game. but I cannot say that Il
think that he will make a very great
Improvement over his present work.
OF the coming players / should say
