GUT RATES
FOR THE KIDS
Baseball Trustees Consider the
Children---E. p. Low Is
Turned Down.

The trustees of the Honolulu Base
ball League have decided to allow
school children TO watch the season s
games from any part of the grounds
except the reserved seats, for an ad-
mission fee of fifteen cents.
John Soper has been reappointed ea-
ecutive officer of the trustees.
This season automobiles viii be al
lowed to stand on the mauka and ma
kaf sides of the ground. The EVA
driveway mauka of the new bleacher
will be reserved for carriages.
Season tickets will be issued for the
first half of the season, consisting OF
nine Saturdays, with perhaps a ho1l-
day thrown in. Season tickets for the
second half of the season will not be
issued until it is definitely known
whether Honolulu viii be visited by
the Santa Clara College and Keio Uni
versity mines.
An application from Eben P. Low
for the use of the grounds for a Wild
West Show to be given during the
visit of the fleet has been declined. The
trustees figure that the baseball season
will then be at its height, that visiting
teams may be here, that the fleet mines
may need the ground. that it would
be impossible TO put the grounds in
shape for good baseball again after
they had been cut up by the cattle and
horses used by the Wild West Show
people.

MAY ROW FOR
FUDGE STAKES

c. D. Walker has just completed a
beautiful four-oared stationary scat
gig to be used by the kunalu Ladies'
Boat Club.
The boat is finished in polished
monkeypod, which gives it a very
handsome appearance. and closely re-
sembling koa It will be easily the
handsomest craft of its kind in local
waters.
The gig will be launched in a week
or so from the Kunalu boathouse, and
all the active young ladies of that
fiourishing organization are expected
to be on hand to participate in the
event.
The building of boats here instead
of importing them from the Coast has
been found by experience to work out
very satisfactorily. The local wood is
properly seasoned and is thus able to
stand the local climate better than
green wood obtained from the main
land.
The Kaialoha Ladies' Boat Club are
giving an entertainment in the near
future, and hope, with the proceeds,
to have four-oared gig built. A race
will then be in order between the Ku-
nalus and the Kaialohas for the Fudge
Stakes.

ALL IN SHAPE
FOR THE BOUT

The wrestlers will meet this morn
ing and discuss rules with Referee
Harry Cobb.
Both Froelecher and Kanae wound
up their training in the best of con-
dition and are now ready for the call
to the mat tomorrow night.
The same may be said of Sailor Rob-
erts and Amosa Kauahi, and also OF
boxers Wahilani and George Foster.
The sale of seats opened yesterday
and was very satisfactory. The box
office at the Orpheum will be open al
10 a. m. today, and those DESTROYS OF
obtaining good seats are advised to Sc
cure them by phone or personal call.
Froelecher appears to be a to 1
favorite over Kanae, but the road de-
partment men will be paid off tomor-
row and a lot of money is sure to be
wagered by them on the natives
chances. 1t will be surprising if as
good as to 1 is obtainable against
Kanae tomorrow night.
Everything is practically ready for
tomorrow nights sport The mat will
be laid today and the ring con-
structed.
The first preliminary, between Rob
erts and Amosa, will start promptly
at $50 D. m.
From present indications there will
be several challenges read at the ring
side, including one from Maui.

Of
CAPT. HARRIS
Navigator of Yacht Hawaii Is
kamaaina i'm Local
Waters.

Captain s. J. Harris, who will nav
igate the yacht Hawaii in the coming
transpacific race, came to Hawaii as
far back as 1883.
He was then sailor before the
mast on both the banks w. B. Cod
frey and Forest Queen.
In 1898 he brought the schooner Con-
cord to Honolulu and two years later
returned to the Coast.
The Concord was the first vessel to
enter the harbor after the annexation
fiag-raising of 1898. The flag was
raised at noon and Captain Harris
brought the Concord in at p. m. He
sailed the schooner in these waters for
a year and was then for a time in the
employ of the Inter-IsIand and Wilder
steamship companies.
On returning again from the Coast
he brought down the schooner Charles
Levi Woodbury. and sailed her for a
time on the Midway and Laysan Is
land run.
About five years ago he took the
schooner Woodbury. TO San Francisco
IN II IL days. beating the bark st.
Katherine by eight days on the run up.
The time made was remarkably good,
considering that it was the summer
season.
For the past fifteen months Captain
Harris has been in the employ of the
IL 5. Y. Co, and is at present mate
Of the Niihau.
The company have granted him a
vacation in order to allow him to nav
igate the yacht.
Captain Harris has the reputation
of being a splendid seaman. and while
the safety of his vessel is invariably
his first consideration, he never fails
to take advantage of every sane OPP
portunity to make time.

GOLFERS USE
SINGLE CLUB

The next golf fixture of Importance
takes place on Sunday at the Country
Club, and will be a one-ciub competi-
ton. Players may use whatever club
they like but they must do all their
work with that one club.
All that the caddies will be allowed
to pack will be a duplicate of. the stick
selected, to be used if the original is
broken.
The novel conditions Of the contest
give it great interest and large field
is expected to try for the two prizes
offered
There viii be a competition at Hale
iva next month, for which the HaIefwa
Hotel offers two prizes.
So far nothing is in sight to take the
place of the White Rock cup. An offer
of a cup TO be played for under con-
ditions governing the lately won trophy
would be greeted with acclaim by local
golfers.

COLTS SHED
THEIR HIDES

The Colts have shed their old hides
and in future their zebra-like appear
ance will cease to delight the local
fans.
The Punahous' new uniform will
consist of gray pants, white shirt,
white cap and white socks. This COM
binatfon should give the players an
appearance that the society writer
would term ''natty.'
Doc Monsarrat was in the main
responsible for the change of costume
which his pets have assumed. He says
that nothing else was ever likely to
change their luck.
The season opens May 2 and all the
league teams are hard at work. Two
weeks from tomorrow the pennant
race will begin and the disconsolate
fan desist from his complaint.

PRIZE SHOOTS
CHANGED DATE

The Hawaiian Gun Club will hold
Its next semiannual prize shoot on
June II instead of Mary 80.
The main idea of the change is that
IN the past many members have OBJ
Jected TO shooting on Decoration Day
On June II there is no rival attraction
in sight and the club expects the shoot
to be the most successful it has ever
held.
The championship of the club viii be
shot on June 10 and the unknown
angles contest viii be decided on June
II.
me matches on June IL will all be
handicap and visitors events and by
the elimination Of the two important
events mentioned the house committee
viii be in better shape to attend TO

swords, to Carrington's great satisfac-
ton. The other preliminaries were
soon settled. A surgeon was also
designated, and Parkman came back
to report the progress of events, most
agreeable, from his point of view, to
his principal.
Darlington was as expert with the
sword as with the pistol, and he made
no demur to any OF the conclusions
to have his deadly enemy opposite
him, with no one to intervene. He
had duties to perform before he went
to rest. One of them was the writ
ing of a letter to Ellen, which, after
he had signed and sealed it, he gave
to Parkman, with instructions tc turn
it over to my Lady Darlington IL case
the approaching encounter should ter
inmate fatally for my lord. When
Parkman asked where Lady Caring
ton was to be found, Darlington re-
piled bitterly that in all probability
she could be seen on the Britannia in
the morning with Sir Charles Seton.
And hark ye, Jack" said Caring
ton, clapping his hand on his friends
shoulder, SAY to Sir Charles Seton
that as regards the unsettled differ
ence between us, I'm ready to meet
him here and now, if he'll come ashore
in the proper mood for an encounter.
1 might as well finish up all my en-
emies in one day and leave myself
free for dealing with my wife, or get
a clearance for Davy Jones locker my
self from one or the other of them"

" can't CO." said the earl, reso-
lutely, Il have to meet Strathgate in
the morning and beside that | can't
leave the country now"
Captain Careysbrook is in a good
deal of temper about the matter now.
The orders were sent on to your
house and followed you here. He
should have gone two days ago and
he's fuming like a Gagged lion"
Il can't help it, You'll have to go
back and explain the circumstances
to him and tell him if he can't wait
until tomorrow morning, he'll have
to sail without me-"
But that's disobedience of ORDERS"
returned Miller
Man" said Darlington hotly, don't
you see this Internal scoundrel Strath-
gate ran away with my wife"
with your wife!" exclaimed Miller.
"Well not exactly" replied CARING
ton, that is, they went away together.
oh, hang it! I've got to kill him and
I have to find my wife if it costs me
my commission. | cant go. No, you
needn't demonstrate with me-" ran on
my lord, hotly, Just simply tell him
that that's the end of it and if he
wants to order me under arrest, he
can do it. I'll face court-martial
rather than"
well, I'm awfully sorry, CARING
tom returned Miller, but | can't stay
with you. / am ordered to return to
the ship without delay"
"All right, but l must have some
friend here. Let me have Parkman.
He's on the Renown. She's not under
orders, is she?'
mo, ! believe not, although since
the Britannia sailed"
"Where did the Britannia go?"
1--WE don't know anything about it.
A small boat came alongside, looked
like a soldier in her, and then the ship
got under way, signaled to us to dis
regard the motions of the commander
in-chief and left Lascelles in COM
mand"
"a small boat with a soldier in
her." mused Darlington. (Which way
did the Britannia go?"
"At nightfall she was going up the
channel in the wake of a big mer-
| chairman"
"By heavens!' roared the earl,
"that'll be Seton"
Il don't understand what you mean" "
said Miller.
Never mind" returned Darlington,
visibly perturbed, send me Parkman.

"That won't do much good" said
Miller, but I'll do the best / can"
He shook the others hand and left
the room.
Seton on the Britannia! I see it
all now" unused Darlington. What a
fool | was not to think of it myself
They'll overhaul her without fail. The
Britannia will be back to her anchor
age at daybreak and I'll be there" He
stopped. mo, l have this cursed duel
on hand. l wonder IL it couldn't be
postponed"
For the moment his intense love for
Ellen overbore every other possibility.
The thought that at last she would be
restored to him made him for the
moment forget the pressing demands
of the early morning hour, but further
reflection plunged him into a black fiji
of jealousy of Seton. 1t was he who
had the wit and address to capture
Lady Darlington. 1t was he who would
reap the reward that might come to
him from his skill and daring and
devotion. And Darlington swore to
settle with him as soon as he had ar
ranged matters with Strathgate.

man, to whom Lascelles had readily
granted permission to go ashore for
the night. Parkman had brought with
him case of dueling pistols, having
been informed by Miller of what was
on. The two at once settled down to
business, but not until Darlington had
catechized Parkman as to what was
known about the movements of the ad
miral and the Britannia. Nothing
further was elected than what he had
obtained from Miller a challenge
was duly drawn up and Parkman car
ried it to Lord Strathgate.
The baron of Blythedae had "A seat
